Chapter Ninety-Four: On the Eve of Marriage
Shen Yinqiu's departure suddenly made Lu Hujun realize her situation, as the second lady of the Shen family, even if she is a concubine, she should not be ignored by the prime minister and the mistress to this extent.
Even if they kept talking about it, they all forgot that tomorrow was the day of Shen Yinqiu's marriage, the most important day in a woman's life. And Shen Yinqiu's indifference made people feel distressed.
Lu Hujun looked at his smiling wife holding his arm, and then looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of him, everyone was still smiling.
Hearing that Shen Yinqiu's aunt was deeply loved by the prime minister, and even took Shen Yinqiu to live wantonly, he also remembered Shen Yinqiu's bright words and deeds before, thinking that he was also spoiled and grew up. Unexpectedly, it was so unexpected.
Of course, his current identity naturally wouldn't ask about Shen Yinqiu's affairs on such an occasion, which would do her more harm than good.
Shen Yinqiu didn't care what the group was thinking, she just didn't want to stay in that atmosphere and sneak out for this reason. These days, except for trying on the dress, there is really nothing for her to worry about, all of which was taken care of by her aunt!
Qianguang dutifully followed behind her, the cold winter wax moon, the bright sun shone on the earth, only the feeling of dryness and cold.
It wasn't until Shen Shi and Shen Jinqiu and Lu Hujun left that the Prime Minister's Mansion began to continue to be arranged, and even if it was night, it was busy.
Shen Yinqiu came out and walked around, looking at the door of the room with lanterns plastered with Xi characters, turning around aimlessly, Liu took a few servants, holding all fine and jewelry, and met Shen Yinqiu who was wandering around.
Liu Shi was a little surprised, reacted and hurriedly said: "It's almost dark, why did you come out, it's not good to rest in the room." ”
"It's been a long time, mother, these are all ...... Am I going to wear it tomorrow? She had a headache when she looked at the jewelry, it sparkled in the dim light, where did her mother get it?
Liu Shi glanced back, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, a month ago, I specially invited a craftsman to melt gold and create it with gemstones, and it is the first time in the capital that this style has been done for the time being." Tomorrow, let others see the envy of death. ”
She didn't want to hit her mother, but she had to remind: "Mother, tomorrow I will wear a red hijab as soon as I leave the door, this ...... No one saw it. "On the contrary, her neck is guilty, and it feels heavy when she looks at it, and there are so many pieces, do you want to fill her whole head and become an upstart existence?
It's glittering.
Liu pinched Shen Yinqiu's face and said, "Even if others can't see it, the matchmakers will definitely be able to see it, and they won't underestimate you if they are shocked." ”
Shen Yinqiu's face was expressionless, and she really understood her aunt's brain circuits.
Seeing that she didn't like it, Liu said bitterly: "You see which bride is not wearing gold and silver when she gets married, not mentioning others, just when Shen Jinqiu got married, she couldn't see that she also had a lot of treasures on her wrist, so we can't leave this bracelet and necklace." ”
Shen Yinqiu knew that she had no other way but to compromise on this matter, so she had to nod her head and reassure her aunt.
Liu Shiyi happily took Shen Yinqiu and a group of slaves back to Liuluo Courtyard. "Although this eldest princess doesn't like that son, after all, it's a matter of face, and the dowry is not ambiguous, but our dowry is still more than him."
Shen Yinqiu sighed and said, "Mother, how is the dowry disposed of?" ”
"Most of them will be half of the crazy Zhang family who is short of money, and then give half of it to you to marry."
Shen Yinqiu: "......", how can she feel so unwilling. Forget it, thinking that the high interest of 200,000 taels lent by her aunt will sooner or later be able to swallow her and spit it out.
At night, Shen Yinqiu and Liu squeezed into the same bed to rest.
Shen Yinqiu fell asleep listening to Liu's soft chatter, and was woken up in a haze, and a warm wet towel was attached to her face, making her have to open her eyes.
The room was full of candlelight, a few maids walked back and forth, she blinked her eyes and looked at Liu who washed her face, and her mind was in a state of confusion when she opened her eyes.
Liu Shi and Qianguang Qianyun helped her up together, and she didn't even need to lift her hand to Shen Yinqiu, she just needed to be quietly at the mercy of her.
"Haven't woken up yet? It's the fourth watch, and the Hou Mansion will come to pick up the bride later, wash up, and you have to eat two dim sum pads to cushion your stomach. ”
Shen Yinqiu nodded, and nodded again. After washing, I was fed three or five pieces of pastry, and under the waiting of three or four maids, I put on the gold and silver silk Luan Bird Chaofeng embroidered dress that I tried to wear yesterday afternoon, and the edge was embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern with peach thread, and a ruby embellishment was embellished on the waist of Ying Ying's hand, and it was covered with a colorful thousand-colored double silk silk Luan Xia Veil, and the hem was mopping the floor.
Then put on the wedding shoes woven with Yunfei makeup and satin, and was helped to the dressing table, Liu personally combed her hair, and said something in his mouth:
Comb to the hair, wealth does not have to worry;
The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free;
Three combs to the hair, many sons and many longevity;
then comb to the end, raise the case and raise the eyebrows;
The second comb is combed to the tail, and the wings fly together;
Three combs to the end, forever knotted and concentric;
There is a head and a tail, rich and noble.
Shen Yinqiu's smooth green silk bun was raised, smeared with hair oil, and one after another gold hairpin jewelry was worn in his hair, with tassels.
Shen Yinqiu opened her eyes and watched intently as her aunt personally put on her makeup, she had never put on such gorgeous makeup, her eyes in the bronze mirror were watery, and her creamy complexion was pounced with a faint color and became seven points more beautiful. A piece of red grease paper, lightly stained the lip flap red.
She looked up at Liu, Liu looked at her with a light smile, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek, but she withdrew her hand regardless of her makeup. This is the child she gave birth to but never disciplined, so good.
The people in the room held their breath and looked at this little master who looked like a goblin, oh bah, how could they describe their master as a goblin!
Liu Shi held a red hijab in his hand, and Qianguang took a palm-sized sand fruit out of nowhere and put it in Shen Yinqiu's hand.
"This is the fruit of peace on the road, Miss is going to hold it steady."
Shen Yinqiu looked at the red sand fruit, and secretly said that the rules for marrying a person are not ordinary.
She was playing with the sand fruit, looking at the maids who were busy with spinning tops in the house, and Liu went out to check other things because she was not at ease. The vine wrapped around the trunk outside the window was still so damp, and she looked at it as if it had grown another arm these days.
Until the window went from chaos to dawn, the red candlelight in the house was blown out, Shen Yinqiu got up too early and didn't toss and lost his sleepiness, only a hungry cooing, after all, he still ate three or five pastries an hour ago, and he was not full at all!
Shen Yinqiu swept around the room, and saw the cakes and fruits on the table, she looked at Qianguang and the others who were facing away from her, got up and walked to the table, stretched out Qianqiansu's hand to pick up a peanut, and pinched it hard, and the small movement of the peanut shell attracted the attention of Qianguang and them.
So they turned around and saw that the master of the Hao-toothed moth eyebrows was holding a peanut and putting it in his mouth, Shen Yinqiu blinked at the helpless eyes of Qianguang and the others, his innocent eyes were full of innocence, and then put the remaining other peanut into his mouth.
A closer look found that Ah Ya's fingers were dyed with carmine.
Qianguang Qianyun hurriedly wiped her hands clean, and took a closer look at her makeup, "Master, don't eat indiscriminately, the auspicious time is coming soon." ”
"I'm hungry, don't think I don't know if I leave this room today, I don't want to eat!"
Qian Yan simply came over, broke the pastry, and fed it to Shen Yinqiu on a plate: "Well, the master eats it quickly." Qianyun prepares a glass of honey water for the master, not too sweet. ”
Shen Yinqiu loved Qianqiu too much, unceremoniously ate the pastries she fed her, drank honey water, and then rinsed her mouth with water, after doing this, Qianguang immediately touched up her makeup.
As soon as I finished cooking, I heard the matchmaker outside knocking on the door and shouting: "The auspicious time has come, the auspicious time has arrived, and the bride should go out!" ”
The door was pushed open, the Liu family came in, and the matchmaker and others who followed closely behind were stunned when they saw Shen Yinqiu's dress, this battle was bigger than their life to meet the bride, and they secretly sighed in their hearts that this prime minister's mansion is real money, look at the wealth of these two young ladies, and then look at the face that is a perfect match for the world!
Liu checked it and found no omissions, so he personally covered Shen Yinqiu's red hijab, and then helped her out.
"This ...... Aunt Liu, the second lady is either the prime minister or the housewife to go out when she gets married. The matchmaker said embarrassedly.
Liu didn't know how, she was very indifferent: "Well, I understand the rules, haven't the lord and the lady not arrived yet?" I'll help the second lady to the gate of the hospital. ”
In this way, the matchmaker will not say more.
Shen Yinqiu covered her head with a red hijab, this red could only let her see the shoes under her feet, and when she heard the matchmaker's words, she also knew the reason, and she didn't make a sound, she was afraid that the other party would play tricks when she led the way, and it was relatively safe for Shen Linru to lead the way, but she didn't have a good impression of Shen Linru at all now.
After walking for about ten steps, he heard a few footsteps, and Shen Yinqiu only heard Zhang's voice and said: "This, the second lady should be helped out by us, and won't it be a joke to be helped out by a concubine?" ”
Shen Yinqiu wanted to smash the sand fruit in his hand towards Liu's face.
Liu gave in for the first time, and in her opinion, on this day, her daughter's auspicious time is the most important. She let go of Shen Yinqiu's arm and patted her hand comfortingly. "The old lady is late, so in order not to delay the auspicious time, I will do it for you."
She looked at Shen Linru, who was standing aside silently, and said: "The second miss grew up in Jiangnan since she was a child, and she rarely gets along with the master. ”
Liu and Shen Yinqiu have the same idea, for example, if they are handed over to the Zhang family who can't distinguish the overall situation, it is better to let Shen Linru do it for him.
Shen Linru glanced at Liu Shi deeply, and rarely gave a few thin noodles to step forward.
Zhang gently tugged at his sleeve and said: "Master, you didn't have this when Jin Qiu got married, Yinqiu is still a concubine, if outsiders see it, they can't speculate that the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really more noble than the concubine?" ”
If Shen Lin ate this set, he would have taken back the steps that he had originally stepped out after hearing Zhang's words. Without half a minute of hesitation, Shen Yinqiu couldn't see it, and could only vaguely feel the result.
Liu laughed angrily, and noticed that the matchmaker kept looking at the sky, and she was not easy to argue, so she stared at Zhang with a little threat: "Then please Mrs. hurry up." ”
