Chapter 119: The Great Wedding (I)

(pink 139, pink 189 plus more)

At the end of the day, the sky is slight, the whole Puzhen Garden will wake up, the sky is still very cold, the branches and grass tips are stained with cold dew, the jade simply pads the stomach, and then wraps the cloak to the hot spring pool in the backyard to bathe, the lanterns of the garden have been lit up, and the garden is bright, and it is impossible to distinguish day and night.

In the empty bathroom, only the two sisters of Pingtong and Pinghui served, the pool was sprinkled with sesame oil, and it was heated all over the room, and the smell was all over the room, and the Yu Yu sat in the pool, smelling the smell, which was clear and elegant, a bit like jasmine, and a bit like a acacia on the vermilion cherry tree.

After taking a bath, Pinghui took the balm in the tin box, and the smell of the sesame oil gave her a fine smear, wrapped the wet hair, and sent it back to the room with a silk quilt.

Dongfang gradually dew the fish white, Yu Yu returned to the house, did not see the figure of the Lu family, dried his hair, pockets, and trousers, all changed into a new set, and finally sat in front of the dressing table in a clean white middle coat, Pinghui went to the front yard to find the Lu family who welcomed the guests.

Usually it is very empty, but today it is full of hairpins, gold and silver pearls, balsamic ointment, rouge gouache, and large and small boxes are neatly laid out.

Yi Yu took the box of oil and smelled the smell, heard the sound of people coming from outside, and put the things away, and after a while, the Lu family led the early arrival of the Zhao family, the Dou family and other relatives of the Lu family to meet, all of them are married women, Lu Lao Zi saw it at the funeral, she was somewhat impressed.

"Great aunt, second aunt, second cousin, third cousin"

She got up and saluted several elders one by one, this is probably the last time she bowed to them before she got married, and in the future, she will have a grade, even if it is Lu's, she can't bow outside.

"Yu'er, Xiao Wu is still young, and the second aunt is busy taking care of him all day, so she didn't come over to help in advance, don't you mind." Dou stepped forward to help the remnant jade over the Zhao family, took her hand and said softly.

"You're too outward."

I want her to accompany her every day, what does the nurse do, Yi Yu smiled secretly in her heart, and was polite to her, and then she was pulled by the Dou family to sit down on the blanket and talk, without chatting a few words, Lu Jingshan, who was dressed in pink and silver, led the maid in a hurry, and saw that they had not started to prepare, so he raised his eyebrows and said to Yu Yu:

"Still sitting here, tell your mother to comb your hair, there will be more things to do later."

Yiyu lowered her head and obediently sat back in front of the dressing table, and a group of women also let go of the Lu family, sitting around and talking about auspicious words, some praised Yiyu for her blessings, some praised her for her conduct, and those who chattered were also festive.

Lu Shi washed his hands in the basin, pulled away the waist-length hair of Yu Yu, knelt behind her, looked at the snowman-like white daughter in the mirror, held her shoulder with one hand, touched the top of her head with the other hand and said softly:

"Mother has your children, she is a blessed person, I just hope to be able to pass this blessing to you, in the future, you just have to live a good life, and the troubles and sorrows are far away from you."

A few simple words, it made Yuyu's nose sour, originally this marriage comb was done by the old man of the family, and it was taken over by the Lu family at her insistence, but her mother had been bumpy for most of her life, and she was afraid that her luck would not be good, so she deliberately said these words, saying that she was a blessed person, and hoped that she would be a daughter.

"Mother," Yi Yu held Lu's hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard, thinking that he would no longer be able to accompany his mother for a long time when he went out, and it would be difficult to go back to his mother's house, so he was reluctant to give up.

Lu Shi was full of smiles, patted her hand in turn, took the rhino horn comb handed by Pinghui, sat up straight, combed from beginning to end, and sang the tune clearly in his mouth.

"One comb to the hair, wealth and no-worry, two combs to the head, no disease and worry-free, three combs to the head, many children and longevity. Then comb to the end, raise the case and Qi, two comb to the tail, fly together than the wings, comb to the tail, forever knot and wear the same heart, there is a head and a tail, rich and noble. ”

Thinking of her mother's hard work, in the end, only her daughter was left by her side, and she was going to marry a wife and leave her, Yi Yu's heart became more and more sour when she heard it, and the corners of her eyes gradually moistened, and when Lu finished combing the last time, she almost shed tears.

"Okay, okay, on this happy day, don't cry" Lu Jingshan saw the two of them like this, and hurriedly interrupted, "Go out with a smile, enter the door with a smile, you can be happy for a lifetime, come, eat a sugar sweetheart, sweet mouth." ”

The two teardrops of the left jade hung in the eye sockets and failed to fall, so Lu Jingshan forcibly stuffed a piece of caramel in her mouth, the sweet taste eased the sadness, and pinched a piece from the saucer in Lu Jingshan's hand, turned her head and stuffed it into Lu's mouth, and saw that her mother was frowning sweetly, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Mother take your aunt and them out to sit and ask your mother-in-law to come and put on makeup for you," Lu Shi confessed to the jade, and then turned to Lu Jingshan, "Sister-in-law thinks that she is already waiting in the capital, second sister, you take someone to the palace to make the bed first, this child will trouble you today." ”

Lu can't go out with the widow, she doesn't feel at ease when she leaves the bed to her mother-in-law, it just so happens that Cheng Xiaofeng is not married, and when she came to play with the widow a few days ago, she volunteered, and the Lu family took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Cheng's mother and daughter to go to the palace to make the bed with Lu Jingshan, and then take care of the widow.

"You can put a hundred hearts," Lu Jingshan agreed, and went out to wait for Pei Cuiyun, and Lu Shi explained a few more words, and then accompanied the female guests to the flower hall to sit.

After waiting for Yu Yu for a long time, Mrs. Zhou came over with Liu Xiangxiang to help her take care of it. Although she knew that the woman was going to wring noodles on the day of her wedding, she still felt worried when she saw the string in Mrs. Zhou's hand.

"Mother-in-law, I don't have much fluffy hair on my face, so I don't need this, right?"

Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand and touched her face, without even raising her eyes, she slipped powder on her face, and scraped it over a few times, making her squint and bare her teeth in pain, Liu Xiangxiang handed things on the side, and said:

"How can it hurt so much, forbearance will pass, and when you are hanged, you will be even more beautiful than now."

Yi Yu didn't care about answering her, while screaming in pain, she was thinking stupidly, scraping around her face like this, don't wait for allergies, marry with a big red face, and the groom will withdraw from the marriage when he sees it.

Mrs. Zhou ignored her thoughts, and neatly trimmed her eyebrows clearly with tweezers, washed off the white powder on her face with warm water, and applied a layer of ointment, Yi Yu curiously took a small mirror and looked closer, and when she saw the monkey butt in the mirror, she was dumbfounded, and turned her head with a crying voice:

"Mother-in-law, I—my face is swollen."

Mrs. Zhou went to comb her hair, Liu Xiangxiang looked at her pitiful appearance, and laughed sullenly, "It's okay, it's okay, the bride is like this." She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said it, Yu Yu's face collapsed even more, and she regretted that she didn't insist on her opinion just now, how could she let the old lady do it.

Her face was frighteningly red, she simply dropped the mirror, looked away, and saw a blue gauze fan on the desk with gold edges and three-color pearls and jade, compared it on her face, just covering the whole face, sighed, and said to Liu Xiangxiang:

"No wonder after the bride goes to the chapel, she can fan, but she can't see the groom's eyes, and it's too late to regret it."

This yarn fan is used for the same as the head, the round fan is slightly concave, covering the face to cover the face, only allowed to be taken away by the groom in the marriage room, it is "but the fan".

Liu Xiangxiang talked to Yiyu, Mrs. Zhou spent a lot of effort to comb her hair bun, and took the newly made hairpin hairpin ring to put on, so tossed down, the sky outside was white, and the sound of music faintly spread from the front yard to the backyard, listening to a lot of guests, only this courtyard was quiet.

After combing her hair, Mrs. Zhou used warm water to scrub the ointment on Yi Yu's face again, regardless of her whispered protests, she took the fat powder and began to apply it on her face, so that half an hour passed, and the noise in the distance suddenly became louder, and Yu Yu was curious and itchy, but no one came to report, so she asked Ping Hui to go over and take a look, and before she reached the door, she bumped into Xiao Man who ran in.

"Miss, Miss" Xiao Man jumped in with his forehead covered and shouted, "Lord, no, no, it's my uncle, my uncle came to greet me personally."

"What?" Yi Yu stood up suddenly, knocked over the two jewelry boxes, and fell to the ground with a snap, which provoked a dissatisfied look from Mrs. Zhou.

"What kind of system is it to shout and scream, shouldn't he come? Sit tight. ”

At this time, the groom came to pick up people in person, the identity of Prince Wei and Miss Lu was obvious, but in the eyes of Mrs. Zhou, Li Tai married Yuyu, which was really taking advantage, not he himself came to marry, did he still call those cats and dogs to pick up people?

Yi Yu also knew that he had lost his temper, so he sat back with a red face, and did not dare to move again, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Man, waiting to hear her continue.

Xiao Man gestured excitedly, "The team to welcome the relatives has arrived at the door, there are many people, and there are officers and soldiers, my uncle is riding a tall horse, and the saddle stirrups are all golden and red, which is extremely majestic," she said triumphantly, "The guests in the front yard were stunned, and they all said that they had never seen such a handsome character as our uncle, and they praised Miss for her good fortune."

Yi Yu held back a smile, he didn't dare to imagine how Li Tai, who was being watched outside, was in a mood at this moment, and thinking that the two of them were only separated by a courtyard at the moment, his chest couldn't help beating the drum, full of excitement.

Hearing that the person who greeted her relatives was coming, Mrs. Zhou slowed down, Liu Xiangxiang looked at Yiyu with a look of wanting to stop talking and was embarrassed to speak, so she took the balm and wiped her hands, and said seriously:

"What's the hurry, a woman has a big event once in her life, and she can't turn back when she gets married, so it's right to ask him to wait."

Yi Yu noticed the faint loneliness in her eyes, thinking of what happened to Liu Xiangxiang, her heart that was originally impatient suddenly calmed down, no longer looked at the door frequently, and asked Pinghui to take the chess game at the bedside to read.

She was not in a hurry, but the people outside waited for a long time, and there was no trace of the bride, so they came up with a trick and sent someone to send in a small note, a poem on the book to urge makeup, the words were brisk, but the payment was Xie Yanya, one of the eighteen bachelors.

This Yiyu read the little poem a few times with relish, and was not in a hurry, and then every time a cup of tea passed, someone sent a poem, and the payment was a well-known person in this Chang'an City.

Five poems in a row, each hypnotic poem passed from the front yard to the hands of the jade, all passed the hands and eyes of most of the guests in the house, at first it was just lively, and then it became an exclamation, but everyone who had a long brain could see that the man was making face for the bride.

Five hypnotic poems, the first one is small and exquisite, this marriage is over, and it is another beautiful thing to pass it out.

Lu Shi finally got out of the group of guests, and entered the backyard with a red face, one foot still outside the door, so he urged, "Yu'er, hurry up, it's about time, it's not good to make people wait for a long time." ”

Yi Yu was standing there asking Mrs. Zhou and Pinghui to dress her in a wedding dress, when she heard Lu's voice, she stiffened, turned her head, and said aggrievedly, "I can't be the master, you can't tell me like my mother-in-law." ”

"Poor mouth," Lu scolded with a smile, walked out from behind the screen, and was about to say more, but when he saw the girl standing there in red makeup, he was stunned for a moment, and he forgot to say anything.

"Mother, mother?" When Yi Yu saw her mother, she stared at her with the same eyes as Mrs. Zhou, and her heart was strange.

"Like, too much."

In the painting, when Yu heard her mother's words, she instantly thought of her grandmother who was far away in Yangzhou, and glanced sideways at Mrs. Zhou, who was as pale as usual, and her eyelids jumped, and she said to Pinghui:

"Go get the mirror."

Her face was still a little itchy, thinking that the redness and swelling had not subsided, and she didn't look for herself anymore after twisting her face, and now she held the mirror in her hand, and looked inside, even she was stunned.

The person in the mirror has a pair of moon eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes, snow cheeks and jade cheeks, and a choun nose and red lips, which is two points more colorful than before her makeup, and ten percent of the beautiful fetus, this is clearly her appearance, but she can't say what she doesn't look like.

"It's, it's like coming out of a painting."

In the painting? Yi Yu frowned, turned her head to look at her mother's surprised appearance with her half-covered lips, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she quickly turned to the beauty in the mirror, her eyes fell on one place, and she found the clue immediately

It's the eyes, her eyes are naturally slightly curved, but if she doesn't smile, it's not very obvious, and the person in this mirror, even when she doesn't smile, the corners of her eyes are obviously hooked, and she smiles, she is a woman who makes people want to get close to her.

Those who have seen the portrait of Mrs. Lu when she was young say that she was born like her, and Yao Yidi also said that she laughed like a portrait hidden in the red village, and there are many similar people in this world, she didn't care about it originally, just thought it was a coincidence, but now she found out that things were far more complicated than she imagined-

"Pinghui, bring a handkerchief."

Ping Hui handed over the handkerchief for some reason, and saw Yi Yu wiping the corners of her eyes in the mirror, Mrs. Zhou paused for her to tie the belt, watched her wipe the charcoal color that she carefully outlined at the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "It's been a long time, what are you doing." ”

"Mother-in-law," Yu Yu put down her veil and winked at her, "today is my big day. ”

Anything can be overwhelmed today, because this is her big day, not any person in the painting, she can only be her.

Mrs. Zhou searched for her face, and finally landed on those shining eyes, and her heart moved, and she turned her head and said, "Let it go." ”

The Lu family came back to their senses, and before they could figure out what kind of dumb riddle this old man and young man were playing, they were called by Mrs. Zhou to help tie the belt of the relic jade. The half-foot-wide yellow belt is tightly wrapped around the chest four or five times, even if the jade is so thin, I also feel panicked, but the effect is significant.

Mrs. Lu is typically hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and after putting it on, she made up for the jade eye makeup, but she didn't deliberately draw the eye hook, everything was cleaned up, and finally Lu personally took a palm-sized gold button crown from the box and put it on the top of her hair, and the gold tassels hanging down her temples just covered her cheeks.

"Take it," Lu Shi stuffed the handle of the blue yarn fan into the hand of the jade, and told again, "If you don't fan it, if there are outsiders, you can't take it down, don't forget it." ”

Yi Yu covered her face with a fan, tried to lower her head and walked a few steps, then leaned up with a smile, shook the cool breeze for Lu Shi with a fan, and stretched out her hand to her to count, "I remember everything you said, you can't talk nonsense when you go out, you can't step on the road, you can't walk around casually, you can't eat and drink before drinking, you can't walk around casually, you can't take a nap - what's more, mother?" ”

"Just remember," Lu nodded her nose, looked at her with pity, stretched out his hand to arrange her clothes, clasped her little hand, and instructed Chen Qu who came with him:

"Go outside and say yes, the bride is going out."

"Yes."

Li Tai rode on the back of the feather, although he brought a small group of soldiers and horses with him, and half-surrounded the outside of Puzhen Garden, so that idlers and others could not pass at will, but he still couldn't block the eyes of the surrounding visitors, and a few were too presumptuous, but it couldn't affect his mood.

He was about to ask his entourage to send another poem in, when he heard the word from the garden that the bride was coming out, and there was a commotion in the procession, and only the soldiers were still standing straight in their guns.

"Haha, congratulations to the prince, I finally waited for people to come out, and Yiren was delayed." Xie Yan joked on the side, causing a few laughs.

Li Tai acquiesced to their laughter, and it was not difficult to find a trace of eagerness in his heart, and when he saw the figure on the red carpet and found a touch of red, that eagerness was even better.

The crowd was quiet at first, and then suddenly noisy, the figure on the felt carpet gradually approached, the red sleeve shirt was like the morning glow of the clouds, the placket was densely embroidered with gold thread with cumbersome patterns, hanging down to the knees, the placket revealed the close-fitting apricot yellow skirt inside, the circle of yellow on the waist, outlining a touch of lovely weakness, her body was slender, and she walked slowly with steps, as if she was stepping on the clouds, and the small green gauze fan with jade in one hand covered her face, and the white wrist that could be exposed, together with the neck and forehead, were delicate and could not take your eyes off.

"Coming, coming, look"

"Talented and beautiful, the prince and the princess are really a good match."

"I don't know what this Miss Lu looks like?"

"Tsk, I've seen it at the reception banquet, it's a rare beauty."

Li Tai rarely saw her wear such a bright color, but there was a time when she wore a begonia color, all of them fit like this, he watched her figure more and more clearly, the original clear pupil color precipitated, and heard the sound around him that was not difficult to hear, the air flow in his chest swelled uncontrollably, and the hand holding the reins of the horse tightened and loosened, and even the horses under him noticed his strangeness, and stepped uneasily.

It wasn't until he saw her kneeling in front of the woman to say goodbye, and in a reluctant tone, unwilling to leave, that he finally couldn't hold back, turned over and dismounted, and strode to meet her.

It was indeed a good day chosen by the Taishi Bureau, it was only morning, and the sun was shining, but it was not stuffy, it was windy and sunny, and the air was very fresh.

Yiyu was helped out of the boudoir by Pingtong and Pinghui, and after walking a few steps, she found that she didn't have to look at the road at all, she just needed to take a fan to cover her face so that she wouldn't be robbed in front of her husband to look at it.

Lu Shi walked in front of her, through the fan, you can vaguely see a straight back, from time to time turned to look at her, the thick gaze that fell on her, there was joy, but more reluctance.

The attendants of the wedding waited in the flower hall early, and when she passed by, they quietly followed, and entered the front yard, and when the people saw the bride come out, Huo Di became noisy, and suppressed the sound of the musical instrument beating, this voice was high and low, happy, congratulating, and whispering.

"Congratulations"

"I wish the bride an early birth of a precious son, and a harmonious husband and wife."

"A hundred years of newcomers, a hundred years of good together"

From the front hall to the front door of the road, I always feel that it is very long on weekdays, but when I came over today, I found that it was actually very short, Pingtong Pinghui hugged her and stopped when she was about to reach the gate, and listened to the bride invited by the Lu family from Chang'an City, in a festive atmosphere, said with an open voice:

"The bride goes out, farewell to her parents"

Yi Yu held Pingtong Pinghui's arm, knelt down towards the Lu family on the spot, and waited for the surrounding voices to gradually quiet, before he was urged by Xi Niang to say in an astringent voice:

"The child thanks the mother for the kindness of parenting, the mother's teachings, the child should keep it in mind, hope that the mother is careful about the body, do not work, live with a relaxed heart, and take care of the whole year."

"Good, good. Yu'er, when you arrive at your husband's house, you must be virtuous and virtuous, and help your husband share his worries and worry about his mother. ”

She obviously heard Lu's voice with a forbearant chok, her heart tightened, and she had the urge to take down the fan and look at her again, but after all, she didn't break the rule, she got rid of Pingtong Pinghui's support, leaned down and knocked on her respectfully three times, and wet her eyes again.

"Good boy, get up quickly—Your Highness, I will give you this daughter, and please be kind to her."

Yi Yu was still holding back her tears, and she didn't notice that Lu Shi suddenly changed her orders, but she heard a low voice behind her, and the familiar voice made her breathe tighter, and then she was sluggish to realize that Li Tai had walked behind her from outside the door at some point, and the eyes of the visiter stared at the back of her neck slightly numb.

"The king will be kind to her."

(Since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, there have been many marriage customs, different sayings, and the fruits should be as realistic as possible)
