Chapter 171: Harmony (2)

Early the next morning, Xiaoyu was called to get up and dress up, and after she burned incense and bathed, she changed into a set of light goose-yellow clothes, and her hair was combed into a girl's bun according to the rules.

Xiaoyu is thinly powdered, her eyebrows are picturesque, and the light goose yellow lining her skin is like clotted fat, and her lips are like red cherries. She pushed away the big red lipstick handed over by Aunt Liu, and instead applied a light layer of rose honeydew made by herself, and her small lip petals were as fresh as roses blooming in the morning.

She dressed up and went to Canglangju, where her wife arranged for a ceremony to be held in the flower hall, and she sat in a wing room at the back of the flower hall and waited.

In ancient times, women performed the ritual at the age of fifteen, indicating that the woman was an adult and could get married. The ceremony is also an opportunity to show the ladies and gentlemen who are watching the ceremony. Therefore, the well-known families in the capital pay special attention to the etiquette of their daughters in the family.

Mrs. put on a dress early in the morning and stood at the door of Canglang Ju to greet the guests, she wore a set of autumn fragrance color large-sleeved dress today, the dress was embroidered with a five-inch flower Ruyi pattern, and the head wore a red gold double-layer pearl crown that only the husband of the country could wear, and the bead crown was inlaid with five thumb-sized East Pearls according to the system. An Guogong took Qi Heng to greet guests in the outer courtyard.

The first guest to arrive was Mrs. Qin, as the guest of honor at today's ceremony, Mrs. Qin wore a more formal dress, the dark moss green clothes were embroidered with large light yellow hibiscus flowers, and the hairpin was hairpin with a beeswax point silver pearl hairpin, which showed her special grace and atmosphere today.

As a praiser, Qi Pan wore a dark coat today, the moon-white quilt was inlaid with sapphire blue piping, with a light-colored dark coat, a peony bun, and a gilded hibiscus hairpin inserted in the temples. Plain and quiet, it does not steal the limelight as today's protagonist Xiaoyu.

Before the auspicious time, the ladies who watched the ceremony and the ladies who were friends with Xiaoyu arrived one after another. After greeting each other with his wife, he sat down in a pre-arranged position.

When the auspicious time came, Grandpa Guo first stood up and said to the guests: "Today's little girl Qi Yun and Xuan, thank you for coming to watch the ceremony!" Then the lady also got up to greet the guests.

Xiao Yu sat in the back of the flower hall and heard the announcement in front of the hall that it was time for her to appear, so she hurriedly got up and tidied up her dress, did not squint, and walked out with the music according to the etiquette taught by Aunt Liu.

The eyes of all the guests suddenly lit up, and the small fish was like a hibiscus out of the water today, fresh and elegant. Xiao Yu came to his place, and after greeting the guests, he slowly knelt down and sat down.

After the praisers looked forward to washing their hands, they untied the small fish's bun and combed the small fish's hair. After combing her hair, Mrs. Qin, who was the guest of honor, got up from her seat and walked to the front of the stage accompanied by her wife. Mrs. Qin took a handkerchief and wiped her hands dry, and the whole set of movements was elegant and moving, which was very beautiful.

Old Madam Qin walked up to Xiao Yu and chanted loudly: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Jiayuan is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu", and then slowly knelt behind Xiaoyu, took a comb to comb Xiaoyu's hair, gave her a moon bun, and then inserted the pearl silver hairpin prepared in advance on Xiaoyu's head.

When the guests returned, the praisers looked forward to the small fish, and the old lady Qin congratulated the small fish with a salute, so that the first addition was over. Xiao Yu got up solemnly and returned to the back compartment to change clothes.

This time, Xiaoyu will change out of the clothes that symbolize the girlhood and change into a plain skirt that matches the bun on her head. The skirt of this dress is goose yellow, and there is a layer of transparent soft yarn on the outside of the skirt, and the outer coat is covered with beige pigment clothing, which matches the pearl silver hairpin on the head very well, and the small fish looks like a young willow branch that has just sprouted in early spring.

Xiao Yu, who had changed his clothes, reappeared, showed his plain clothes and skirts to the guests, and knelt down to his wife and Grandpa An Guo to thank his parents for their nurturing grace.

After the salute, it was Erjia, Xiao Yu knelt down again, and after Mrs. Qin took her hand again, she took the red gold dot emerald inlaid emerald hairpin on the tray, walked to Xiao Yu, and chanted loudly and said: "Auspicious moon Lingchen, Nai Shen Erfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. "

Qi Pan stepped forward to remove the pearl and silver hairpin that Xiao Yu had added before, and Old Madam Qin sat down behind Xiao Yu, inserted the red gold and gemstone hairpin in her hand into Xiao Yu's hair, and got up and returned to her seat.

Qi Pan knelt down and sat down for Xiaoyu Zhengjia, Zhengbin also congratulated him with a salute, and Xiaoyu got up and went back to the room to change clothes.

With the help of Qi Pan, Xiaoyu took off the plain skirt that symbolized girlhood this time, and changed into a curved deep coat that symbolized the woman's adulthood. In order to match the hairpin, the main color of Xiaoyu's curved deep coat is emerald green, supplemented by pearls and golden silk threads embroidered with flowing clouds and cherry blossom patterns on the dress, and the whole person is solemn and bright.

Due to the complexity and bright colors of this suit, Xiaoyu slightly darkened his eyebrows and replaced the lipstick with cherry red. The bright makeup hides a little childishness from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Qi Pan on the side couldn't help but sigh: "Second sister, you are so beautiful, among the young ladies I know, there is no more beautiful than you!" The little fish looked back and smiled, and in an instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, bright and beautiful.

As soon as Xiaoyu appeared this time, the guests present were all surprised, and the delicate and innocent girl in the memory could not find any traces, but was replaced by a bright and moving woman, she was tall and slender, with good eyes, standing there silently, but a pair of autumn water was as black as a deep pool, and it was as if she had seen people's hearts, refreshing.

Xiao Yu lowered her eyes, and Ying Ying bowed to Mrs. Qin to show her gratitude and respect for her teacher and seniors.

Finally came to add hairpins for the last time, and the old lady Qin first chanted loudly and said: "With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served." Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. ”

Then Qi Pan took off the red gold gemstone hairpin, and Mrs. Qin added a ruby and gold hairpin crown for Xiaoyu, and the bright starlight set off a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg, like the stars and the moon, lined with the thick black hair of the small fish, which became more and more eye-catching.

The large-sleeved dress that matches the hairpin crown is garnet red, and it is embroidered with intricate spring begonia patterns with gold threads, each petal of a begonia is embroidered with gold thread and pink hibiscus gravel, and each cluster of begonia stamens is inlaid with fine diamonds.

The skirt, waistline, neckline, and cuffs are all trimmed with a passion flower pattern embroidered with pink crystals and gold threads. As people walk, the begonia flowers on the skirt reflect different lusters, which are gorgeous and extraordinary.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's makeup also became more gorgeous and solemn according to the style of the dress, Qi Pan watched Xiao Yu change the lipstick to pomegranate red and said: "Second sister, you look like a different person now, even such an atmospheric and solemn dress is suppressed by your temperament!" ”

Xiao Yu was busy on his face, and said: "Yes, this dress is too eye-catching, if you don't make it, everyone will only see the clothes and no one!" ”

Fortunately, Xiaoyu's facial features are relatively bright, if it is such a delicate and delicate slender facial features as Qi Pan, he will not be able to suppress this dress no matter what.

Fastening the belt on the dress, Xiaoyu held the shawl and walked out with Qi Pan's support. The guests let out an exclamation in unison, this beautiful woman wearing a garnet red large-sleeved dress, wearing a golden hairpin crown, with a graceful appearance and a graceful posture, like a fairy concubine. Although he is still young, he has already revealed a natural demeanor.

The ladies sitting next to Mrs. whispered to their madams to congratulate them, Mrs. Dudao is so blessed to have such a beautiful daughter. Mrs. was also amazed by Xiaoyu, and secretly made up her mind to choose a husband for Xiaoyu, and the dowry should be rich.

Xiao Yu bowed to all the guests, and after thanking all the guests for coming to watch the ceremony, Mrs. Qin invited Xiao Yu to the table. Mrs. Qin took the liquor, walked to the Xiaoyu banquet, faced the Xiaoyu, and recited the greeting: "Ganli is only thick, and I recommend Lingfang." Worship and accept sacrifices, in order to determine the auspiciousness. The rest of the heavens, the longevity test will not be forgotten. ”

Xiaoyu bowed, took the liquor, and Mrs. Qin also bowed back. Xiao Yu sat on his knees, first stretched out his hand and sprinkled the wine on the ground to sacrifice to heaven and earth, then held the wine and covered his face with his sleeve symbolically touched his lips, and then put the wine on the table.

Another maid served a meal, and the small fish took it and tasted it symbolically. Then Xiaoyu got up and saluted Mrs. Qin, and after the guest bowed, he carried out the ceremony of taking the word.

Old Mrs. Qin knelt down facing Xiaoyu, and recited the greeting: "The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced." The word Kong Jia, the fashionable person is suitable. It is advisable to be fake, and it will always be guaranteed, and it is said that Yao Guangfu. Xiao Yu replied loudly: "Although a certain person is not sensitive, he dares not to come at night." ”

After answering, Xiao Yu got up and saluted Old Madam Qin, and Old Madam Qin returned the salute and returned to her seat. The word that Mrs. Qin gave Xiaoyu is Yaoguang, because Xiaoyu's big name is Qi Yun, and this Yaoguang comes from the word Yun. In the future, between the women who are familiar with each other, they can call Xiaoyu the word.

After this ceremony, I got up and knelt, knelt and got up. Rao is Xiaoyu usually practiced, his body is strong, and his forehead is slightly sweaty. In particular, this large-sleeved dress is worn with three layers inside and three layers outside, which is especially stuffy. After this ceremony, Old Madam Qin also felt quite exhausted.

According to the previous rehearsal, there was a listening session next, but fortunately, when changing clothes in the back compartment just now, Qi Pan asked Yahuan to quietly send some pastries and food to Xiaoyu, which slightly replenished some physical strength.

The listening training was taught by the lady to Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu knelt in front of An Guogong and his wife, and the lady was solemn and said: "Filial piety is done by relatives, and kindness is next." Gentle and upright, frugal and humble. No overflow, no arrogance, no deception. The ancient precept is a formula, and it is observed. ”

Xiao Yu lowered his head to listen, and after the lady finished speaking, Fang replied: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!" Then he bowed to Duke An and his wife.

An Guogong looked at the righteous daughter in front of him with deep eyes, he had a shocking glimpse of Emperor Tan's sweetheart Lan Zhi back then, before Xiaoyu was still young, and his appearance was only vaguely similar. But now the strict makeup dress has covered the immaturity on his face, and it coincides with the image of the Lan Zhi girl in his memory.
