Chapter 121: The Great Wedding (II)
(daily update + pink 289)
In Qinglu worshipped, just after noon, the entrance ceremony became half, the next is to go to the new house, let the groom will be the bride yarn fan down, and the bride will show people in front of people, and then do a good thing, a group of guests can not wait, under the guidance of the official Xi, laughing and hugging Li Tai and the relics of the jade towards the north of the house.
The elderly guests, such as Li Xiaogong, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Qiao, as well as Chengyang, Linchuan and others, did not join in the excitement, but went to the banquet hall with Du Chuke to wait for the groom to come to toast later.
From the arrival of the welcoming team to the palace, Du Ruojin has been standing behind the crowd to watch, despite this, he still can't stop some eyes from throwing at him, except for those who are in love, it is something else, he didn't pay too much attention to the couple, but the same warm smile on his face, but he never fell, until he watched them worship each other in the Qinglu, holding hands and going away, he turned around and followed the group of elders.
And the eldest grandson Xi went with several princesses. As for the other guests, the male guests are looking forward to watching the excitement and festivities, and it would be better if they could take a look at the bride. The female guest mostly looked at the handsome groom official at once, and she wanted to put it on the usual day, but she couldn't look at the first beautiful prince in the capital so openly, there is a way to be bold, and if you have a chance today, how can you not look at it.
The Wei Wangfu is very large, and before this, the Yu Yu has only seen half of the appearance on the Combing Pavilion, she is persistent in the face fan, and is pulled by Li Tai, she can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and she just cares about moving forward, he is fast and she is fast, and he is slow and she is slow.
After walking through two small gardens, turning a corridor, and walking a long way, Li Taifang stopped and waited for the maids to lay the felt on the road.
"I heard that the Wei Wangfu started to repair the house last year, isn't it the one across the lake?"
"What last year, I seem to have heard Mr. He from the Ministry of Industry mention it the year before last."
"Tsk, this bridge is really exquisite, what kind of birds and beasts are carved on the piers?"
Yi Yu knew that Li Tai had specially built a new courtyard in the palace, but he had only overlooked the outline from a distance upstairs, and he was itchy when he heard what people said, and he couldn't take a look at the fan, so he couldn't help but pinch Li Tai's palm, led him to turn his head, and fell on her side face, watching the golden tassel hanging from her sideburns gently scrape her looming snow cheeks, and then clasped her fingers a few more points.
Lay out the blanket, the two of them walked through the only bridge on the lake, the bridge deck is more than a zhang wide, the sun is wonderful in the middle of the afternoon, the jade hazy can see a little sparkling jade wave on both sides from the afterglow, this bridge is folded, go straight forward about five zhang and then turn up a few layers of stone steps, and turn back to the shore, she sniffed, this smelled a refreshing bamboo breath, at first glance failed to come back to her senses, just listen to a hearty laughter:
"You're really grinding, hurry up, it's all cleaned up"
Cheng Xiaofeng and Lu Jingshan were accompanied by a few maids, standing at the gate of the courtyard two or three feet away from the bridge at the new couple, and caused a lot of laughter, Yiyu heard the voice of her best friend, and was happy, but she couldn't talk to her yet, but among the guests behind, there was a person with thin eyes and white teeth, who was smirking at Cheng Xiaofeng, and after being noticed by the other party, he glared at her.
Li Tai didn't care about Cheng Xiaofeng's shouting like this, and led the people to continue to walk forward, and the two passed by the arch of the stone orchid carving, with a black stone plaque on the door, and two big characters written on the clouds and flowing water-jade.
The pavilion in the courtyard is all white wall green tile, the corner of the eaves wall is carved with a realistic pattern of flowers and birds, the front of the house under the wall is all carrying green bamboo, there are more than a dozen bamboos that are higher than the top of the building stand by the wall, but I don't know where to transplant it, this courtyard is a rare building style in Chang'an City, let people see it is a bright eye, the new house is in the back corner of the courtyard, one side is facing the lake outside, the corridor is followed by the corridor, the corridor is hung full of red lotus lights, hanging the four corners of the tassel, can think of such a little at night, take advantage of those green bamboo, how beautiful it should be.
People only looked at the courtyard, but they didn't find a white shadow on the upper floor, but Li Tai looked up and stared at it, and disappeared again.
Yiyu was in a sigh of admiration, walked to the door of the house, and then stopped, the official said a few auspicious words, Lu Jingshan smiled and walked out of the house with a needle and thread, this happy day did not greet Li Tai, just nodded, and looked at Li Tai with a little scrutiny, then stepped forward and rolled up the cuffs of the wedding dress that the two of them were close to, and each wore a long red silk thread, and the thread was exposed.
"Newcomer Credit"
Yi Yu and Li Tai walked in with their feet raised, bypassed the living room, and entered the inner room with colored curtains on one side, the female guests all happily followed into the house, but the male guests were stopped by Cheng Xiaofeng's hand inside and outside, and they could only look around, but no one dared to come in.
The furniture in the house, are all brand new mahogany, Li Tai is the most commonly used this luxury wood, through the two landscape screens, the female guests consciously stopped the corner, from the side to welcome a few pink maids, all holding a silver basin with a red rope, to the guests, for them to grab, the basin is full of five-color fruits, red dates, chestnuts, red beans, soybeans, longan, lotus seeds, peanuts, very complete.
Stepping on the thick blanket to the end, Yi Yu was taken by Li Tai and turned around, only to find that he had walked to the side of the bed, and he couldn't help but panic a little, only to feel that he held his left hand and let go, and as soon as his shoulders sank, he was pressed and sat down on the edge of the big bed, the bed under him was very soft, this shop was sewn by her mother, and she hung down her sweaty palm and stuck it to the futon on her side.
Walked into the new house blindly, didn't even say a word to him, and raised a fan all the way, his hands were sore, looking at the vague figure, he originally wanted to see what he looked like today, but he was really scared again. His heart beat faster and he tightened the handle of the fan.
"Get off the fan, get off the fan, let's see the bride"
"That's right, hurry up and get off the fan"
Cheng Xiaofeng chirped and grabbed a large handful of lotus seeds in his hand, laughed with a few young girls, several princesses were about to be much more reserved, only picked a handful of red dates and waited to spread the tent, the male guests outside the door were blocked by this group of excited women, they could only listen to the movement, and found that Li Tai was not angry, so they clapped their hands and coaxed together.
It's not that Li Tai can really tolerate them making such a fuss, it's just that he selectively eliminated these idle people from his sight early in the morning, remembered the steps of the wedding, and turned his head to see Lu Jingshan lit two wrist-thick red candles under the window, and then moved his gaze back to Yi Yu, and his footsteps moved, just in front of her, covering the sight of the half of the people behind.
His eyes were excellent, and it was not difficult to find the nervousness she was showing at this time, but she still did not hesitate to reach out and do what she had wanted to do a long time ago, pinching the head of the green gauze fan decorated with pearls and jade, and pulling it gently, but she couldn't take it off.
"Don't be ashamed of the bride, don't you want to look at your husband?"
is still the group of chattering young women, especially Cheng Xiaofeng, who is the happiest, and it is also a loss that she is a famous person to go crazy, otherwise this unmarried girl is so popular, and she may not be made fun of, Mrs. Cheng has nothing to do with this baby daughter, so she can only laugh and twist her waist.
The guests are not all kind, Li Tai is such a character, there is no shortage of young ladies in Chang'an City, I want to choose a side concubine in Furong Garden, it is a big scene of a hundred and ten young ladies gathering, it is also a coincidence, now in this new house, there are so three or four who have participated in the selection of concubine banquet, at this time, seeing that the bride does not fan, it is inevitable to whisper a few sour words:
"It's a cover-up, it's not a mole on the face."
"Who knows, if you can be taken by King Wei, I think she is not much worse."
"Beauty, we haven't heard of this Miss Lu No. 1 among the beauties in Chang'an City."
This not very harmonious voice was suppressed by the high voices of Cheng Xiaofeng and the others in a few clicks, but the more cheerful they called, the more timid Yi Yu became, and when he was hesitating, the fan in his hand suddenly took off his hand and flew away.
Huo Ran was bright in front of her, and the bright light made her squint her eyes uncomfortably, and the next moment she clearly felt the gaze from the other side, burning her face was hot, and she cheered herself up in her heart, she slowly turned her head away with bated breath, just a glance, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
He stood there as a handsome man from the bones, wearing a vermilion robe like a yang, embroidered with Tengyun's python pattern on the shoulders, rolling the dark corners, strangled with a gold waist, dazzling as a golden crown on the top of the hair, leaving no trace of residual hair on the forehead, revealing an angular face, slightly thin lips are always pursed, hiding indifference, the high nose bridge is very straight, engraved with perseverance, under the dense Lang Lang sword eyebrows, a pair of long but not narrow eyes, with the most special color in the world, he stared at her, reflecting her figure, It was as if she was the only one in his eyes.
The laughter behind him has nothing to do with Li Tai, at this moment he is the only one in his eyes, and his uncontrollable gaze falls closely on her fair face, from her delicate chin, to the fresh corners of her lips, from the tip of her slightly pitiful nose, to her greasy cheeks, from the moonlit eyebrows, to the warm and watery eyes, the shyness, love, yearning, and even stubbornness, sensitivity, and weakness in her eyes are all captured, each of them is her, and only her.
It wasn't the first day that she knew that he was the only person in the world, but when she saw it today, she suddenly realized that this was the only person she wanted to have in the world, not just to accompany him, but to have.
He didn't know at first that she was what he wanted, but since he realized it, he waited for the day after day, and took her for himself, and the thought of it made self-control and calmness seem to be ignited by fire.
The guests on this side were also quiet for a while because of the bride's charming complexion, but her appearance was very delicate, she was the kind of beautiful person who looked more and more eye-catching, sitting there, her hair was finely combed into a bun, revealing her cheeks and temples, and she was decorated with a set of pure gold flower crowns on her forehead.
The women who saw her for the first time couldn't help but praise each other, "What a delicate and delicate embryo!" It's a great match for King Wei. β
Just now, the young girls who were originally unimpressed with the bride of Yiyu and were a little proud of their beauty felt that they had been folded by her, and they all shut up stupidly.
Li Ke's Princess Wu stood in a good position on the side, turned her eyes away from the men and women who were on the right side like a painting, turned her head to glance at the eldest Sun Xi behind her, her eyes rolled half a circle, and she covered her mouth intentionally or unintentionally and smiled:
"The dowry is more beautiful than the princess, and she is such a lovely child, no wonder the fourth brother is obsessed with something, and would rather go against his father than marry such a one."
The eldest grandson's back shook slightly, and he bent his fingers into his palm, but his face was smiling and squinting, and said, "I live in Beijing, but I don't have the third sister-in-law who is well-informed, and even the affairs in the palace are so clear." β
Princess Wu's face changed immediately, and she glanced at her with a forced smile, but she didn't dare to speak again.
"Ah, what are you doing in a daze, sambling, shaming! Jujube chestnuts, early lizi" Lu Jingshan shouted in a loud voice, Cheng Xiaofeng took the lead in sprinkling a handful of red dates, chestnuts and lotus seeds on the bed, and immediately led to a joy, and the female guests put down their minds and went to catch the five-colored fruit to scatter the account.
"Husband and wife are harmonious and beautiful, and they are safe"
"Jujube gives birth to cinnamon, I wish the bride an early birth of a noble son"
"Hehe, I wish the newlyweds good luck and good luck, and the children and grandchildren are full"
The jade was sprinkled on the lap by a handful of red dates to recall God, and quickly raised her hand to block her face, followed by the overwhelming small fruits smashed over, some of the throwing quasi-ones fell on the beds on both sides, and some of the crooked ones fell directly on her, because they were far away, in order to throw them on the bed, everyone threw them with all their strength, and after a while, she secretly screamed bitterly, that is, she was dressed, and these little things fell on the body, which also made people hurt, especially there were always a few, I don't know if the accuracy was too bad or what, and they were thrown in her face in a hurry, It smashed directly into the back of her hand, and it hurt.
"Shhh
"That's enough, let's go to the next step."
Li Tai turned around, frowned and looked at the happy official who was squeezed out of the door, and when he heard the sound of "dong dong" smashing fruit, he pulled down with a cold face, swept away his blue eyes, and immediately called the female guests who were still frantically throwing the fruit to withdraw their hands, and the male guests who were clamoring to see the bride outside were silent.
"Qi, Qiqi Wangye," Xiguan squeezed in from outside the door sweating, "the prince can go to the front yard to entertain guests, and then come back to drink wine with the bride and form a concentric line." β
Li Tai nodded, and said to the maids who served the dishes, "Send the guests to the banquet hall, and the king will arrive later." β
The woman didn't dare to not, so she led a group of unfinished guests in the house to leave the new house in a hurry, Cheng Xiaofeng originally wanted to stay and talk to Yiyu, but was dragged away by Mrs. Cheng, so she could only turn her head frequently to say goodbye to Yiyu:
"Xiaoyu, I'm leaving, I'll come to you again tomorrow"
Yi Yu smiled and nodded with her, her eyes turned, but fell on Changsun Xi on the side of the screen, the two glanced at each other, she raised her eyebrows first, raised the corners of her lips and nodded at the orange beauty, and did not deliberately show her color, but she did not hide her joy on this big day, but Changsun Xi couldn't even put on a false smile, and turned around and left directly.
Seeing that Yiyu looked at the screen and smiled happily, and Li Tai did not leave her, Pingtong Pinghui walked out with great eyes, "click" The door sounded, and someone realized that the room was too quiet, and turned his head to meet Li Tai's blue eyes, seeing his body move, she swallowed dryly, and shrank towards the bed with both hands.
Li Tai saw her movements, but did not go any further, stopped, stood two steps away from her, looked at her white and tender face that turned red because of nervousness, after a while, and weighed the pros and cons, then retracted his eyes, and quietly withdrew the hand that was about to be stretched out, and said:
"Hungry?"
On the day of the wedding, the first sentence between the two turned out to be like this, and Yi Yu's stomach surged strangely, and he replied softly:
"My mother said that you can't eat before drinking."
Li Tai frowned, turned his head to look at the empty food table that had not yet been placed, and took two steps forward and sat down beside her.
Yi Yu was not very hungry, but when he mentioned it like this, his stomach became uncomfortable, and he sat next to him without paying attention, and he was nervous, but he saw him reach out and grab a handful from the bed, pinch his fingers a few times, "click" twice, and shook it slightly, handed it to the front, Yu looked down, but it was a handful of peanuts that had been shelled, and they were lying comfortably on his palm with a round belly.
"It's not good, but I'm not too hungry." As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach rang again.
ββ
Pingtong Pinghui was guarding outside, faintly hearing the sound of crumbling inside, looking at each other suspiciously, after a cup of tea, he saw Li Tai push the door out and point to the small kitchen in the middle corner of the courtyard.
"Make a pot of tea and send it in."
Inside the house, Yu Yu covered his dry throat with regret and looked at the peanut skin at his feet.
In the afternoon, the guests over there had already held a banquet under the hospitality of Du Chuke and Li Xiaogong, but Li Tai had just come out of the Jade Courtyard, brushed the cuff crumbs, and went up to the bridge on the lake, and found an orange-red figure in the silent bridge without walking a few steps.
"Fourth brother," the eldest grandson Xi saw Li Tai walking past her without even turning his head, clenched his fists to suppress the depression in his heart, and called softly, "Congratulations." β
But Li Tai continued to walk forward as if she hadn't heard, she was in a hurry, and quickly reached out to catch the corner of his clothes, but he easily raised his hand to dodge, turned around, and looked at her indifferently.
"IβCan I say a few words to you?" After she asked, seeing that he was not in a hurry to leave, she smiled bitterly to herself, lowered her head and said, "It's really strange, why am I still so uncomfortable when I died of that heart for you a long time ago." β
"I really want to be like Brother Du, I can afford to take it and put it down, but I really do it, but I find it so difficult," Changsun Xi wrapped his shoulders and said sourly, "I just ask you to see me in the future, don't look at me like a stranger, even if it's a nodding friend, fourth brother, can you?" β
Li Tai looked at the begging girl in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, but it was a rare pity, it was not a pity to pity the jade, but it was a pity that such a good move could not be used when it was handed to him, since it was useless, he was not in the mood to waste time.
However, Changsun Xi didn't know that she was a chess move from beginning to end in the eyes of Li Tai, a cold-blooded and cold-faced three-cold man, and she didn't know that she had escaped because of Yu Yu's words, and when she saw the expression in his eyes, she was about to continue, but he shook her head and interrupted:
"Ling Zun is the crown prince and Li Zhi's uncle, this king doesn't want you to be involved indiscriminately, just talk about it," his voice was slightly cold, implying a warning:
"If you still have a brain, you'd better keep that in mind."
If it weren't for the scruples of the eldest grandson Wuji, how could he allow a person who dared to calculate him to jump around in front of him.
Changsun Xi looked stunned and looked at Li Tai with his hands away, not daring that the words just now came out of his mouth, she knew him for six years, although he always had a straight face, but he had never hurt people like this, once upon a time, the fourth brother who had the patience to accompany her to play a whole day of chess would be able to say a few words like this, as if he had grabbed a fierce needle and pierced her heart, she couldn't come back to her senses in pain, and after a while, she barely held on to the bridge railing to stand firm.
"I'm unwilling, I'm not willing...... Lu Yiyu, it's all because of you, a slut."
"Ahh
"Miss, put on your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold," Pinghui hurriedly put the auspicious clothes she had taken off when she rinsed her mouth and put them on her again.
"Ah, it's okay," Yu rubbed her itchy nose, not feeling cold, but honestly put her clothes back on and sat back on the bed.
Pingtong took the pot away, poured another cup of tea and handed it over, seeing that she drank it with a clatter, she couldn't help but whisper, "The prince is really, why do you eat so many peanuts." β
Yi Yu looked at the carpet that had been cleaned, and turned the empty cup in his hand embarrassedly, with little confidence, "I'm hungry, I only ate a small piece of oil cake in the morning." β
"Knock, knock, knock."
The sudden knock on the door made the master and servant all wonder who would come not long after Li Tai left.
"Who?" Seeing that Yu Yu nodded, Ping Tong asked out loud as he walked towards the door.
"Knock, knock answer, only this very rhythmic knock on the door is ringing, in order to make the new house quiet, there are few people in the garden, which makes Pingtong vigilant, put his hand on the doorknob, but does not open, turn his head to look at the jade.
"Who is it?" Yi Yu asked.
"Yo"
A clear short whistle almost made her lose the cup in her hand, and she didn't see the different colors on the faces of the two maids, and strode towards the door with her skirt, and said in surprise, "Yinxiao, is it Yinxiao?" β
"Squeak", the door was opened by her, and a gust of wind swept the corners of her skirt and gently lifted it, accompanied by the sound of "fluttering and fluttering", I saw a half-human tall big white bird standing at the door, which was excitedly padding its paws and flapping its wings, looking up at her with a pair of red round eyes.
"Yo, yo."
I miss it.
