Extra 6: The passing years are still the same as the beginning (out of Xiu and married, her story is over)
On the ninth day of the ninth month, it is the auspicious day that Mrs. Tai calculated by someone, and it is a good day for her to set off for the north.
I have been waiting for this day for a long time. But parting is imminent, and it is difficult to give up.
Yunjinzhuang hurriedly made a wedding dress day and night, a silk robe with vermilion peony gold and jade rich patterns, matched with a golden peony cloud pattern Luo skirt, and the body was decorated with 999 Hanhai pearls. This was already luxurious and dazzling enough, but I heard that Mrs. Tai was still not very satisfied, and reprimanded the steward of Yunjin Village.
In fact, in Chuxiu's opinion, it is impeccable to be able to make such a Seiko wedding dress in just four months. Mrs. Tai suddenly treated her so well, she was a little uncomfortable, but began to miss the time when she was taught by Mrs. Tai's cold words in the past.
Now that I think about it, every day and every moment in Yunfu, every thing and everyone she encountered, has been deeply rooted in her bone marrow and can never be separated from her life.
Touching this wedding dress with her bare hands, Xiu only felt that everything in front of her was like a dream bubble, so unreal. I thought that she would be widowed in Yunfu for the rest of her life, but it turned out that in this life, she still had the opportunity to wear a wedding dress.
Use the name given to her by Yun Ci and marry the person Yun Ci chose for her......
Just yesterday, Mrs. Tai gave a set of red coral and red gold Qiluan jewelry, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, all available, I heard that it was the baby at the bottom of her old man's box, and it was sent to Zhiyanxuan by Chi's mother in person.
Especially what Chi's mother said, when even let out Xiu wept - "Mrs. Tai is marrying her daughter!" ”
yes! From the age of sixteen to twenty-five, the best ten years of her life were spent in Yunfu. bitter and sweet, glorious and humiliating, she is closely related to Yunfu, and she has already become a relative with Mrs. Tai.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, mother-daughter relationship, is not biological, it is better than biological.
"Madam, it's time to dress up and change your clothes, and go to Rongjin Hall to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai." Yueyun whispered behind Izuku.
Only then did Xiu come back to her senses, solemnly put the wedding dress on the couch, and said, "Put it away." ”
She doesn't have to wear this wedding dress today, and she will wear it when she welcomes her relatives in the Northlands. For this reason, Yun Jinzhuang made several sets of bright color dresses, and today she said goodbye to Mrs. Tai, and deliberately chose one of the water red and vermilion gold pipa skirts. This color is lighter than the red, darker than the pink, a bit like the carmine bleached shalt of vermilion, and it is the first time I have seen it in Yunfu for so many years.
It can be seen how much effort Yunjinzhuang has put into developing this color.
When the dress was on the upper body and the makeup in the mirror, Izumi couldn't believe that the person in the mirror would be herself. She had never worn such a bright dress, and she didn't use powder in her daily life, but now she was red and glamorous, like another person.
Yue Wan saw that her master had been stunned by the mirror, and immediately smiled coquettishly: "This is Allure Zhuyan, madam, are you stunned?" ”
Only then did Xiu come back to her senses, and Wan Er smiled: "Don't be poor, go to Rongjin Hall." ”
"Yes." Yueyun walked out of Zhiyanxuan with her hands and went to Rongjin Hall. Along the way, the maids and slaves were all happy, and the congratulations were endless. Although the whole mansion is not full of lights, the places that you can inadvertently sweep are also tied with red satin, showing a low-key festive atmosphere.
In the Rongjin Hall, Mrs. Tai was sitting in the main hall, and Yun Cheng and Zhuang Yiran were sitting on one side, waiting for the final farewell of Izuku. Out of Xiu can see that Mrs. Tai has also deliberately combed today, wearing a silver-purple phoenix tail pattern silk dress, combed into a complicated and expensive bun, although there is not too much decoration, but it looks like she is rich and solemn.
"Mother ......" originally prepared thousands of words, but at this moment, he couldn't say a word, and after calling out this sound, he could only kneel and kowtow to thank him for his grace.
Mrs. Tai seemed to be extraordinarily generous and gentle today, and asked very neatly: "Have you been to the ancestral hall?" ”
"I've been there." Izuku replied truthfully: "Last night...... I have gone to say goodbye to Lord Hou. ”
Yes, she went, alone. And there are some words that only she and Yun Ci know, and there is no need to let others know.
"Good! It's good to have been there. Mrs. Tai squinted her eyes and nodded lightly: "Don't say anything to me, just go and say goodbye to Cheng'er and Yiran." ”
When the words fell, Yueyun had already helped her get up. Yun Cheng and Zhuang Yiran also stepped forward at the same time, and said in unison: "Congratulations mother." ”
These four words made Chuxiu a little at a loss, and she didn't know how to reply, so she had to purse her lips and smile.
Yun Chengji stood with a clear breeze and a long body, and said sincerely: "Uncle Shen has been waiting for you for so many years, and he has finally waited for a good result." ”
Zhuang Yiran also echoed: "I heard Master Hou say that Uncle Shen is upright, open-minded, and has a deep affection for you. We are all happy for you to have this good marriage, and we will not say much if we have been together for a hundred years, but it seems to be a raw part. ”
The more the two juniors said this, the more they didn't know how to answer. Accept their blessings calmly, and be troubled in your own heart; If they don't give blessings, she will be even more uncomfortable. It's as if it's a mistake to talk back.
Fortunately, Chi's mother relieved the siege in time, took out a beautifully bound package from the inside, handed it to Xiu, and said: "This is Mrs. Tai's heart, Mrs. accept it." ”
Chuxiu immediately thanked Mrs. Tai and Chi's mother, took the package into her hand, and handed it to Yueyun. At the moment of this hand, Izuku felt that although the package was heavy, it was soft, and it looked like a piece of clothing.
was thinking about it, but seeing that Mrs. Tai had already opened her mouth, she said: "It's cold in the north, you are in winter from Fangzhou, this fox fur will give you the cold." ”
Mrs. Tai said it lightly, as if it were a very small matter. But when I heard it in my ears, thousands of waves suddenly surged in my heart, and tears came out of my eyes.
She held back tears and raised her eyes, only to see Mrs. Tai, Yun Cheng, Zhuang Yiran, and Chi's mother all looking at her, with a smile of blessing on their faces. And this scene is too warm and reluctant......
In an instant, a thought crossed her mind, and it instantly occupied her entire mind.
"Mother, can I not get married?" Izuku knelt down again towards Mrs. Tai, and the rippled tears could no longer be restrained, rolling down her cheeks, and the drops were as crystal as pearls in the sea.
This time, Mrs. Tai personally got up and helped Chuxiu up, pretending to be solemn and said, "What are you kidding?" Everyone in the world knows that I Xie Shudan asked my daughter-in-law to remarry, and now you regret the marriage, don't say that Shen Yu is not happy, won't the world also see my jokes? ”
After that, he beckoned to Yueyun and said, "Quickly wipe her tears, the makeup is spent." ”
Yue Wan was holding the package containing the fox fur in her hand, and was about to find a place to put it, when the bamboo shadow outside had already called: "Madam, the auspicious time has come." ”
Several people heard it in their ears and knew that this was the last goodbye. The mountains and rivers are far away, and it is even more difficult to see each other again. Especially when Mrs. Tai is old, she sees her once and less often.
Out of Xiu hesitated and refused to answer, but Mrs. Tai frowned and rushed away: "Go quickly, go quickly, you won't be bad luck if you miss the auspicious time!" ”
Zhuang Yiran also stepped forward to persuade: "King Weiyuan's greeting envoys have all arrived outside the mansion, mother go quickly." We have someone in the Northland who has a business, so we'll see you later. ”
Almost persuaded and pushed, Zhuang Yiran and Chi's mother sent Xiu out of Rongjin Hall together.
Zhiyanxuan's group of servants and maids lined up in a row and waited all the way. The sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded at this time, and in the crackling sound, you can still hear the voice of General Zhu's voice coming from afar: "Princess! Don't miss the auspicious time! ”
It turned out that this was the greeting envoy. Izumi had a relationship with General Zhu in the Chengwang Mansion, and knew that he was a good friend made by Shen Yu in the Northland. It's just that this person is too heroic, but ...... It is very suitable to be a greeting envoy, and it is very lively.
It wasn't until he walked to the main gate of Yunfu that he saw Yun Xian standing in a long robe, and smiled at himself: "Congratulations to sister-in-law." ”
Only then did she remember that Yun Xian was the envoy designated by Mrs. Tai, so she saluted and replied: "There is Lao Sanye all the way." ”
Yun Xian didn't make any more politeness, but only stretched out his hand to Izumi and asked: "Enter the sedan chair." ”
Izuku lowered his eyebrows and looked at the threshold in front of him, but he couldn't take a step out. At the right time, Yue Wan suddenly whispered behind him: "Madame......"
Looking back, I saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure: "Shallow rhyme." ”
I haven't seen it for a long time, and Qianyun's outfit is already a woman's, and she looks very stable. Izumi once heard Zhuang Yiran mention that since the birth of Xiao Shizi, Qianyun has invited herself to take care of her, and it seems that she has made up her mind not to marry.
She is also twenty-eight years old, do she really want to guard Yunfu? Izuku looked at Qianyun, and when she saw the other party slowly approaching, she opened her mouth to say something, but she was dumbfounded for no reason.
It was Qianyun who was the first to speak, although there was no smile on his face, but his tone was good: "In my opinion, you should be a widow for your master, and no one in this world can compare to him." ”
Izuku choked in his throat and replied ashamedly, "I've disappointed you." ”
Qian Yun shook her head: "Since this is the master's last wish, I have no right to complain about you, I can only obey his orders." But if I were to bless you, I wouldn't be able to. ”
Out of Xiu pursed her lips, and the gloomy meaning in her heart was even heavier.
She thought that Qianyun would say something more, but no, Qianyun just waved her hand lightly and said, "Madame, go." I will continue to guard the descendants of my master, and serve every Lixin Marquis until I die. ”
After finishing speaking, Qianyun didn't give Xiu a chance to speak, and turned away.
Looking at the figure of Qianyun resolutely going away, Izumi's heart was surging, and I didn't know what it was like.
"Sister-in-law get on the sedan chair, don't miss the auspicious time." Yun Xian reminded him at the right time, and General Zhu outside the door also laughed: "Princess! Hurry up! ”
At this point, Izuku finally had no way to retreat, so he could only take this step bravely. And this step is the path she has chosen.
The threshold of Yunfu is high and heavy, and this step is someone from another family. And although she is still out of Xiu, she has to say goodbye to the words "Mrs. Xiu" completely.
Heavy steps, only one threshold, condensed all her courage and determination. When a lotus foot finally stepped out, she knew that there was no turning back in this life.
Ahead, there was Shen Yu waiting for her.
All the love and hate about Mrs. Chuxiu starts from Yunfu and ends with Yunfu. Ten years, the origin and extinction, created the most profound, most turbulent and most glorious time in her life.
From now on, forever in memory.
There are so many gratitudes and reluctances that it is difficult to describe them in a thousand words. Looking back, the cold door plaque and Gao Mu's gate left an indelible rut mark. From today onwards, draw the dividing line of her life.
When she got on the sedan chair, she remembered the fox fur cloak, and suddenly felt a little subtle in her heart. If it was just a cloak, how could Mrs. Tai go out of his way to deliver it?
"Yueyun, bring that package, Mrs. Fang Cai gave it." Out of Xiu stepped into the sedan car, and lifted the curtain.
Yue Wan smiled when she heard this: "The slave maid originally planned to send the cloak to be loaded. ”
"No need, just give it to me." Izuku reached out and took it.
Yueyun shrugged her shoulders lightly, and also got into the sedan chair.
The sound of firecrackers sounded again, and the mighty guard of honor and the send-off team entrenched the entire Yanlan City, which was an unprecedented wedding event.
Yue Wan lifted the curtain to look at the boundless sea of people, and said with a smile: "This is not all the dowry, there are some valuables, Zhuying has ordered to send them away a few days in advance, and then meet us in the Northland." ”
But Chuxiu didn't listen to Yueyun's words at this time, she untied the beautifully bound package with her bare hands, only to find that the fox fur was different - the fiery red fox fur, without variegation, the tentacles were soft, and it was absolutely extraordinary.
Suddenly, Izuku remembered that she had heard a rumor: When Nie Peixiao, the king of Cheng, was twenty years old, he hunted two fire foxes in the suburbs of the imperial city, and it was rare to see the beauty of the fur. At that time, his father, Emperor Nie, was overjoyed when he heard it, and felt that this was a godsend, and he also praised Nie Peixiao.
And now this fox fur cloak ...... Could it be a gift from Nie Peixiao? Is this fiery red color to be worn by yourself when you worship in the church?
Izumi shook the fox fur away, but saw a piece of emerald jade flute slip out of it and landed on Izuxiu's leg. She remembered that when the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion was beheaded, she had "bribed" Nie Peixiao with a gift, asking him to protect Shen Yu and enter the office. Going around and around, today is back in his hands.
While there were many thoughts, the wedding sedan chair had been slowly lifted and moved forward. Izuku held the jade flute in his hand and looked at it silently for a while, before re-folding it into the fox fur and putting it away without a word.
The sound of firecrackers outside was noisy, and the drums of the honor guard to send off relatives were non-stop. However, somehow, Izuku seemed to faintly hear the sound of a flute, and the song that was played was exactly.
It's probably an auditory hallucination! At this moment, she has no intention of investigating the source of that song, as if this faint bosom friend finally has an imperfect ending.
But sometimes, the beauty of imperfection is the most moving.
The send-off procession headed all the way north towards the North City Gate. I will never pass by the Chengwang Mansion in the south of the city again, and I will no longer see the four white marble arches.
But out of Xiu's heart, it is incomparably complete.
In this life, the meaning of being a bosom friend with Nie Peixiao, the love of staying with Shen Yu, and the bitter love with Yun Ci have been able to make her die without regrets.
Time is like sand, floating like a dream. The years are still the same, and the heart is as calm as ever.
Yun Ci, we meet in the next life.
