Chapter 8 Marriage 6
——————————————
Just after the first month, the Minister of the Interior accompanied Yinxiang to my house to pay a salute according to Kangxi's will. Ama changed into a python robe early in the morning and waited outside the door.
When he arrived in the main hall, Yinxiang wanted Ama to salute according to the rules, and Ama respectfully returned the salute three times. For a moment, Yinxiang and Eniang saluted each other. The ceremonial officer read the holy decree, and then sent the gift list, at the end, the gift of Nacai, I and Yinxiang, exchanged tokens, and the ceremonial officer received the red envelope, announcing the ceremony.
Ama and Eniang sent Yinxiang out of the house, and these rules were completed.
After Yinxiang left, Ama took her brother to feast the guests at home, and Eniang and sister-in-law came to congratulate the ladies in the inner hall.
It was dusk at the end of such a lively meeting.
The day before the wedding, some of my luggage had been sent to Yinxiang's mansion by Amma. The long boxes lined up from my boudoir to the door of Shangshu's mansion, but in fact, the most of these boxes were not clothes and jewelry, but a subset of scriptures and histories.
Yinxiang entered the palace a day in advance to worship Xie Kangxi, and I just need to wait in the mansion for the auspicious time to come.
Early in the morning, I was taught to get up from the bed, put on the red dress given by the emperor, put on delicate makeup, coiled up my black hair, and held the hosta sent by Aunt Su Ma and the hosta from Kangxi when she got married.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the sedan chair settled in the house, the girls helped me to get on the sedan chair, the red hijab blocked everything in front of me, and also covered the concern of my parents, the reluctance of the family, and the tears could only be secretly swallowed in the stomach from then on, and then left, leaving only the life of a lady with mixed joys and sorrows.
The ceremonial officer shouted beside the sedan chair: "Rise." ”
Tears rolled in my eyes instantly, and from then on, I didn't just want to leave at any time, and from now on, I had to call another place home.
Outside the gate of Yinxiang Mansion.
According to the rules, Yinxiang held the bow and pulled the string, and a white feather arrow flew straight to the sedan chair. This is the rule of the Manchurians, which is intended not to forget the original and to dispel evil spirits.
got off the sedan chair, and according to the guidance of the teaching mother, the saddle brazier collapsed, the tile was broken and the fan was lost, and the house was only in the gold.
Yinxiang stood at the west end of the room in a regular manner, I stood at the east end, I saluted each other, and then sat down, the grandmothers stepped forward to tie the knot of my two dresses, and then put on dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, and longan.
This is to hear the ceremonial officer shouting: "Licheng." ”
In this way, I finally passed the long list of etiquette rules and was sent to the cave room.
I sat alone on the bed, my eyes fixed on the red hijab, but I had nothing to do. E-niang chose Qiaohui to be my dowry, and she was happy to marry with me. As soon as I entered the cave room, I began to chatter, the prince's mansion is incomparable to ordinary people, how big the house is, how exquisite the yard is, how bright the room is, but I actually have no interest in these at all.
I don't know how long I sat alone, but the moment the hijab was removed, I finally saw that handsome face again. I smiled silly at him, and he gave me a gentle, doting smile in return, and for a moment I thought it was good.
The next second, Mama handed the wine glass to the two of us, we looked at each other and smiled, and under their guidance, we handed over the glass and drank.
The big red candle crackled as it burned, and when everyone had left, there were only the two of us left in the room.
He looked at me blankly, and after a long while, he said slowly, "In the future, I will be the person who is in charge of the house, but I am not allowed to run away without moving." ”
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Are you holding a grudge?" ”
He didn't answer, and continued, "In the future, don't think nonsense alone, tell me any grievances, don't hold on alone, you must know that from now on, I will bear you when the sky falls." ”
I looked at him and nodded.
He continued, "From now on, you are my blessing, and no one else is allowed in my heart." ”
I nodded, but the tears fell uncontrollably.
"Don't cry, it's a good day. You see that the grandmothers have finally made you so beautiful, and it's not good to cry as a giant panda. He wiped my tears and made me laugh while talking.
"I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will live up to my love." I tilted my head up and kissed him on the cheek.
He took my hand and said firmly and seriously, "Married as a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love." ”
"Joy is on this night, and grace is good."
He kissed me suddenly, but not as gently as usual, but domineering and strong.
Deeply and urgently, he unbuttoned me, and he burned me like a flame, and the desire in my heart was stirring.
After a long time, everything gradually returned to calm, he wrapped me with his usual gentleness and elegance, he leaned over my ear and comforted me gently, his warm big hand held my small hand, and my original pain slowly disappeared.
From now on, he is my heaven, I am his wife, and his joys and sorrows, ups and downs will be closely related to me. After this moment, I will learn to accept everything about him, including his wives and concubines.
