Chapter 5 Substitute Marriage
"What is Miss talking about? Is it a misfit? A little girl who was dressing her asked softly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Bingru shook the hem of his clothes and complained: "This dress is so bulky and so wide, how can it fit me?" Why don't you find someone else? β
"How can you wear a wedding dress for others casually?"
The old woman's voice appeared at the door of the room unexpectedly, "Besides, this wedding dress is tailor-made for the young lady, how can it not fit?" β
Li Bingru rolled her eyes and sat back on the stool stupidly.
"Ah, it hurts...... It hurts......" Li Bingru covered her head with both hands, refusing to let the maid touch her hair again.
"Right...... I'm sorry...... Miss ......"
The maidservant who combed her hair turned pale with fright, and held the comb in both hands to stop trembling in mid-air. "Little ...... Miss, you ...... Don't shake your head any more, slave...... Slave ......"
"You are pulling so much, how can I not move?" Li Bingru curled her mouth with a look of grievance.
"If you don't let the maid comb your hair, Sister Xi, I'll comb it for you myself!" The vicious old woman appeared in front of Li Bingru out of nowhere.
"Sister Xi, I'm old and frail, I don't have a serious start, and I'm not as clever as a little girl, I tear off some hair, or the comb is not good-looking, if the new aunt doesn't like it, maybe I'll put you in a cold room immediately, and there will never be a day!"
"Okay!" Li Bingru was reluctant, and sat up straight obediently, only to obey her words. She didn't care if her new aunt liked it or not, and whether she would be locked up in a cold room.
Listening to the old woman's tone, if she is asked to comb her hair, I am afraid that this black and beautiful hair will be in trouble.
It seems that there is no escape today, no wonder the original bride will escape.
Li Bingru was already basically sure that the person who left through the back door just now was the original bride, why did she run away? Don't like the groom?
Shao Haihui, where are you, come and save me! If you don't come again, your dear Xiaoru, I really want to marry the bride!
By the way, when he got up, Shao Haihui said that today is the day when the second young lord of Tianlong Fort got married, could it be that the groom is......
"Hey, old woman, who is the person who married me?"
"What do you call me?" The old woman's face turned green all of a sudden.
"I'm calling you wife, what's wrong?" Li Bingru raised an innocent little face and blinked innocently.
"You ......" the old woman Orchid pointed at Li Bingru, and glared at her, "Call me Sister Xi!" β
"Okay, Sister Xi, now you can tell me who I'm going to marry, right?"
"Uh......"
Li Bingru heard the sound of gasping air in the room.
The old woman Sister Xi took a deep breath and precipitated and precipitated. Then he spoke: "It's the second young castle master of Tianlong Castle." β
"Is it really him?" Li Bingru suddenly put aside the depression just now, and instantly smiled, "Is he very rich?" β
Although Li Bingru didn't know much about Tianlong Fort, he heard Shao Haihui say that Tianlong Fort was the largest Jianghu organization outside the imperial court, and the money in the castle owner's family even exceeded the national treasury, and it seemed that there was still some unknown treasure hidden. Therefore, the emperor has always wanted to win him over for his own use, and he is afraid of the forces that he can command the rivers and lakes.
"Yes." Sister Xi's forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and she didn't understand why the person who had been resisting the surrogate marriage just now suddenly became cheering.
However, it is not surprising that Tianlong Fort is a place that everyone wants to enter, and the second young castle master of Tianlong Fort is even more personable, handsome and chic, noble temperament, and looks like Pan'an, and has both talent and appearance...... In short, it's all kinds of good, what a blessing to be able to marry him!
Li Bingru didn't know how the second young castle lord was, what she cared about was that he was very rich. He has so much money, it shouldn't matter if she pulls some hands, but it can support all her hopes and ideals.
"Sister Xi, quick, help me dress up, I want to dress up and enter Tianlong Castle beautifully!"
"That's right!"
Sister Xi saw that Li Bingru was so upright, so she asked the maids to be busy, she is a local Xi Po, she received the grace of the bride's mother in the early years, and the bride's grandmother appointed her to give the bride a makeup, the intention can be imagined.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the welcoming procession is already waiting outside the gate. Sister Xi hurriedly pulled a hijab to cover Li Bingru's sight, and when she missed it, she whispered in her ear: "Remember, you are the daughter of Taiwei Liu, who has traveled all the year round - Miss Liu Xiangxue, I don't know anything about the situation in Taiwei's Mansion, if there is a mistake, beware of your life!" β
When Li Bingru heard this, she stumbled under her feet and almost fell. No wonder the bride will run away, where is this marriage, it is clearly a death?
She can't help but get married??
Li Bingru moved her tocks that were about to be numb from the tosses, and felt like she was tied to a thief ship.
Oh no, it's a thief sedan chair.
"Knock knock!" Li Bingru slammed the sedan chair desperately.
"What's wrong with Miss?" Sister Xi leaned together at the curtain of the wedding car, and her voice was cold with some kind of warning.
Li Bingru rubbed her half-sour buttocks and complained: "My ass is about to turn upside down, can I go down for a walk?" β
"The young lady said that she laughed, how can a bride walk to the groom's house by herself?"
"But, but...... Sister Xi, I, I, I have an urgency... β
"Miss, bear with me, it's almost here." Sister Xi was not moved at all.
I endure! I endure!
Li Bingru sat back stupidly, gritted her teeth and greeted Sister Xi's family. But I still can't help but make people dizzy.
Endure until you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore.
Li Bingru kicked the sedan chair with her foot.
"Sister Xi, I can't help it, if you don't let me out, I'll ...... I'll solve it on the spot! β
When Sister Xi heard this, her face immediately turned red and white, white and red, where did this come from, how could she be so...... Vulgar!
Sister Xi hurriedly stopped the sedan chair and led the bride to a nearby wine shop to go to the thatched house.
Thanks to the ancient thatched hut with three walls, there is no roof - the wall is not high.
Li Bingru walked around the thatched house leisurely, and saw that Sister Xi was only quietly guarding the door, smiled slyly, and turned over to the wooden wall behind.
Who knew that before it fell, the two big men Taishan crushed over like a top.
"Hey! You also have a need to urinate? β
Li Bingru greeted Brinetly. Neither is it to ride on the wall, nor is it to go down.
"Miss, come down!" Sister Xi's cool voice appeared under the wall.
When Li Bingru saw Sister Xi, she hurriedly cried.
"Sister Xi, they ...... They peeked at me......"
The big man blushed in embarrassment, and lowered his head in unison.
Sister Xi is also choked and doesn't know what to say, have you ever seen someone more thick-skinned and shameless than this girl?
"Sister Xi......" Li Bingru trembled her voice, hugged the wall tightly with both hands, and cried: "I...... I can't get off......"
I didn't think it when I climbed up, but when I looked down like this, it was so high, how could she go down? Do you pounce straight down? Does it hurt?
Sister Xi just wanted to beat her chest and pause, so as to smooth her heartbeat that was choked so fast that it stopped.
Sister Xi asked people to bring the ladder, Li Bingru trembled and climbed down the ladder, and then there were two little girls who supported her left and right, followed by the two big men who didn't dare to look up.
Not to mention that Li Bingru had just come down from the ladder, her legs and feet were weak, and her hands were still trembling, even if she was good, she didn't dare to push away the two little girls who were holding her.
In the private room on the second floor, a hand as white as jade pushed open the window lattice, and the white-clothed young man with a cold face poked his head and just saw the back of the bride who was carried on the sedan chair by two maids.
"That, today's bride?"
The dark-clothed man next to him glanced up and bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes!"
The young man in white moved his brows slightly, how did he feel a little familiar?
Blowing and blowing along the way, it was so lively.
Li Bingru didn't know how long it had been, but now she felt that the so-called eight-lift sedan chair was like driving on a rugged mountain road, bumpy and shaking, making her head foggy and drowsy.
"Drop off the sedan chairβ"
When Li Bingru was about to fall asleep, she finally heard a savior-like voice, if she continued like this, she really couldn't guarantee that she would sleep with him at the wedding of the second young castle lord of Tianlong Castle.
"Please ask the groom to cross the sedan chair to welcome the brideβ"
As soon as Sister Xi's high-pitched voice fell, Li Bingru felt that the entire sedan body was falling forward, and at the same time, the big red sedan curtain was lifted, and the dazzling light shone in.
On the right side of the car door is a pair of red high shoes, looming under the cloud-like skirt. At the right window, someone called softly: "Miss, it's here!" β
Arrived? Then it's time to go down, right?
Li Bingru stabilized her mind and lowered her head and went out.
That's right, in Li Bingru's opinion, she got out of this sedan chair.
A long, white, slender hand landed in front of her with a red hijab. The palm is wide and the bone knot is raised, and it is a clean man's hand. The tip of the finger and the base of the finger are slightly yellowed, which should be a sign of friction when in contact with an object for a long time.
Does he work a lot at home, too? Poor baby, poor second young castle master.
Li Bingru directly lamented for the second young castle lord who had never met.
"Please let the bridegroom and the bride cross the giant brazier, and from then on flourish, hand in hand until old age-"
The groom's hand is waiting for Li Bingru, and the bride and everyone are waiting for Li Bingru.
Li Bingru's heart was like kicking a rabbit, "plop-plop-" jumping wildly, although she was a fake bride, but this wedding was real, how could she just hand over her hands to others?
But if she doesn't deliver, how will she get through this hurdle?
"Miss......" A woman reminded softly on the right hand.
Li Bingru nodded, shrunk her hand into the wide sleeve, and handed it to the hand in front of her with the smooth fabric.
The slender white hand clenched suddenly, as if it was some kind of punishment, and Li Bingru could feel the ice-like gaze beyond the red hijab, as if it was about to pierce the red hijab and stab directly into her heart.
He stepped over the brazier, then over the firewood, and then entered the gate.
When I entered the door, there was a commotion in my ears. Li Bingru could clearly see the crimson carpet under her feet and the crowd of people standing densely on both sides through the half-hidden red hijab.
That kind of preciousness, that kind of luxury, all gave Li Bingru a great shock to her heart, but she couldn't express it in words, her only thought at the moment was: If Shao Haihui could also enjoy this huge and prosperous party with her, how good would it be?
