Chapter 114: Candles in the Cave Room
The next day, before dawn, Xiao Xiwei was called up by the girl.
The girl in Shuying Xuan was busy going in and out, Hongyu and Ziyan were changing into a wedding dress for Xiao Xiwei, and when she was about to comb her hair, the old lady held Xiao Xiwei's hand and walked in.
"Grandmother, why are you here?" Xiao Xi hurriedly stood up.
Today is not only her marriage, but also the eldest grandson of Houfu marrying a wife, the two marriages were held on the same day, and there are only a lot more people who will come to Houfu to drink happy wine.
The old lady smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes shook like water waves, "When my granddaughter gets married, how can my grandmother not come to take a look." After that, she waved her hand at Xiao Xiwei, "Come, you sit down, grandmother will come and comb your hair." ”
"Yes." Xiao Xi smiled and responded.
Hongyu next to him congratulated the wooden comb to the old lady. The old lady picked up the wooden comb with one hand, and gently stroked Xiao Xi's silk-like green silk with the other hand, a smile of relief curled up at the corner of her mouth, she slowly raised her hand, and said while combing, "One comb to the head, two to the end, three to the white hair has been eyebrows ......"
This eulogy recited by the elder before the woman got married was the first time she had heard it.
One comb is combed to the head, the second comb is combed to the end, and the third comb is full of white hair......
Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly to look at herself in the mirror, her snow-white face, slender eyebrows, and curved lips, even though her face was covered with a thick layer of fat powder, she still couldn't hide the smile on her face.
She's going to marry a pity.
It was all like a dream, and it made her feel very unreal.
At this time, the old lady had already made a hair for Xiao Xi.
The heavy phoenix crown pressed down, and the bright pendant hung down on the ear, making the face in the mirror more and more exquisite.
"Grandmother, this ...... This phoenix crown sinks very much. Xiao Xi turned his head slightly and looked at the old lady and said.
"Ah, my good young lady, you are going to marry King Yan, not another small family, the heavier the weight, the more your husband values you." Mama Liu said with a smile, and at the end, she added, "Miss, are you nervous?" ”
I didn't think it before, but when Mama Liu said this, Xiao Xiwei was really nervous.
Looking at Xiao Xi's slightly nervous and sweaty expression, Ziyan laughed out loud on the side, "I usually see Miss with a straight face and no expression, but suddenly I see Miss you are so nervous, the slave is really a little unaccustomed!" ”
"Girls are all like this when they get married, and I think it was ...... when I married your grandfather" The old lady narrowed her eyes, as if she remembered the scene when she married Xiao Qi.
As he was talking, Biyun's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Young Master, why are you here?" ”
Xiao Xiwei and the old lady glanced at each other, and at the same time turned to look at the door.
At this time, Xiao Xiyang walked in in a bright red wedding dress, and the bright red color set off his heavy face, which was inexplicably a little weird.
"Yang'er, why are you here?" The old lady frowned.
At this hour, shouldn't he leave to meet his relatives?
Xiao Xiyang didn't move, he walked up to Xiao Xiwei, reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Sister, I'll carry you out in a while." ”
When the bride goes out from her mother's house to get on the sedan chair, her feet cannot fall to the ground, so it is generally carried out by the bride's brother to send the sedan chair on her back. But because Xiao Xiyang also wanted to welcome his relatives, the old lady asked Xiao Xiwei's cousin Chen Mubai to carry Xiao Xiwei out of the house for Xiao Xiyang.
"Young Master, isn't this inappropriate?" Mama Liu, who was beside the old lady, said in a low voice.
Although the young master was not satisfied with this marriage, in the end this marriage was given by the emperor.
"Grandmother, let my brother send me." Xiao Xiwei stood up and looked at the old lady with a smile.
The old lady looked at Xiao Xiyang, and finally pulled the corners of her mouth, "Yes, it should have been like this." ”
Originally, it was said that this girl would be promised to Yan'er as a steproom, but who would have thought that she would be allowed to give her grandson a main room, and the emperor slapped Zhongyong Houfu hard!
Suddenly, the sound of 'crackling' firecrackers sounded outside, mixed with the sound of various musical instruments, the sound from far and near.
"Old lady, miss, young master, the greeting team is here." A little girl ran in with a smile on her face.
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly turned her head and ordered anxiously, "Hurry, Xipa?" Bring the Heppa over and cover it! There are also happy locks, ruyi rings, these things must not be left behind! By the way, and apples, get an apple and let Wei'er take it. ”
Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded in the room.
The red Sheepa pressed down, and then a large, red apple was shoved into his hand. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of joy and firecrackers outside, and a girl outside said in her voice, "His Royal Highness King Yan has entered the mansion." ”
In a lively congratulation, Xiao Xiwei was carried by Xiao Xiyang.
Blindfolded Xipa, Xiao Xiyang couldn't see Xiao Xiyang's expression, but she could feel the stiffness of his body.
She can marry the person she likes, but her brother is forced to marry someone she doesn't love.
She stretched out her hand around Xiao Xiyang's neck and shouted in a low voice, "Brother." The firecrackers and joy were too loud, she didn't know if Xiao Xiyang heard her call him, she buried her face on Xiao Xiyang's back, and a tear slipped down silently, "Brother, everything will be fine." ”
Suddenly, a master of ceremonies shouted loudly, "Get on the sedan chair!" ”
In the joy of firecrackers, Xiao Xiyang carefully sent his sister to the sedan chair.
"Your Highness, I will hand over my sister to you." Outside the sedan car, Xiao Xiyang's voice rang out.
"Big brother, don't worry, I will stay good for Wei'er for the rest of my life." At the same time, Chu Xizhi's deep voice sounded.
"Okay." Finally, she heard her brother's voice ringing.
"Get up!" Outside, the emcee's voice rang out.
With the sound of firecrackers and joy, the sedan chair was lifted.
The long greeting procession crowded the streets, twelve pairs of maidservants carried flower baskets in front, scattering flowers while walking, followed by twelve pairs of maidservants holding red palace lamps in their hands, and then swishing twenty-four pairs of honor guards, followed by the band, blowing and playing all the way, followed by the groom riding a high-headed horse, behind the groom is the sedan chair surrounded by the bride and the maidservant, behind the sedan chair is the marriage of the loyal and brave waiting house, a full twenty-four carriages. The whole procession was extremely spectacular, and both sides of the road were filled with people watching the excitement.
At the gate of the loyal and brave waiting house, Xiao Xichun led Mama Xiao to silently look at the sedan chair that was gradually moving away, and her eyes gradually moistened.
Second sister......
Xiao Xiwei sat in the sedan chair, as the sedan chair tossed up and down, she only felt that something in her chest kept beating, she held the apple in her hand hard, thinking that as long as she worshipped, she would be Chu Xizhi's wife.
In this previous life, she didn't even dare to think about it.
The man who was as untouchable as the moon, the man she loved so much but never dared to admit was finally going to be her husband.
It was all like a dream, and she felt that there was no sense of reality at all.
I don't know how long it took, but the sedan chair shook suddenly. Immediately after, she heard someone outside shouting, "It's here, it's ......" Immediately after, the sedan curtain seemed to be lifted, and someone held her hand and said, "Bride, please get off the sedan chair." ”
Noisy voices and noisy laughter came for a while.
Xiao Xi stretched out his foot tentatively, but because he couldn't see it, he didn't step on it steadily, and the whole person suddenly planted in front. She was scared into a cold sweat, but the expected pain did not come, and a pair of strong hands held her up steadily.
"I'll do it anyway." Chu Xizhi's laughing voice rang out.
The Xi Niang seemed to hesitate and spoke, "Lord Wang, this doesn't seem to be appropriate." ”
"Defenseless." Chu Xizhi waved his hand, and in full view of everyone, he raised his hand and took Xiao Xiwei's hand and personally led her into the mansion.
This was followed by a variety of tedious salutes.
Worship heaven and earth, worship high hall, husband and wife worship......
The phoenix crown on her head was surprisingly heavy, coupled with the inexplicable nervousness in her heart, Xiao Xiwei was dizzy after this whole set of gifts, and she still didn't come to her senses until she was sent to the new house by the bride.
The red Xipa covered her vision, and she heard the sound of the happy bride's laughter, "Lord Wang, quickly pick out the hijab!" ”
Not long after Xi Niang's voice fell, the Xipa on her head was lifted at once.
The candlelight and dazzling red in the room made her unable to open her eyes for a while, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Xizhi wearing a bright red hippa.
"Sister-in-law of the Seventh Emperor." Chu Muzhi smiled and shouted vigorously.
When he shouted, several other princes and grandsons who were close to Chu Xizhi ridiculed, "The prince is really blessed!" To be able to marry such a beautiful bride. ”
Xiao Xi's face flushed slightly, but he saw Chu Xizhi's eyebrows and eyes smiling, his posture was upright, he didn't care about the ridicule of others at all, and the smile on the corner of his lips even deepened a little, "Madam." ”
"Yo yo, that's it!" A few people laughed.
Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at the person who spoke, "It seems that someone has been missing practice recently, otherwise, I will go to Yan Yunwei's martial arts platform tomorrow to compare." ”
"Don't ...... This is the night of candles in your cave room, and I don't dare to look for you in the house tomorrow morning. Besides, even if you are willing, I'm afraid that the princess will not be happy! The man laughed.
"You are so bold, you dare to ridicule my seventh brother, be careful when you wait for your cave room, the seventh brother will carry you to the stage to practice and practice." Chu Muzhi said with a smile.
Xiao Xiwei was really uncomfortable being interjected by a few people like this, and Chu Xizhi also noticed this, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Oh, let's go, let's go, don't go, be careful that the prince is really angry." Someone shouted knowingly. The others cheered one after another, and everyone went out in a crowd.
The people who watched the excitement were gone, and the house fell silent.
Only Xi Niang and a few girls around Xiao Xiwei are still in the house.
"The bride and groom, please drink at the bar!" Xi Niang smiled and motioned to the girl to bring the wine over.
For a long time, there was no movement over there.
Xiao Xi raised his head slightly, but saw Chu Xizhi's eyes looking at him without moving for a moment, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
"Ahem." Xi Niang couldn't help but smile and cover her mouth and cough.
"After drinking a glass of wine, you should be my man!" Chu Xizhi pursed his lips and smiled.
Xiao Xi blushed slightly, and hurriedly lowered his head.
After drinking a glass of wine, the bride smiled and said a long list of auspicious smiles, Chu Xizhi happily rewarded her with a big red envelope, the bride received the red envelope and went down happily, and a few girls gradually withdrew from the room after taking the reward.
The lamps in the room are all the same colored glazed corners, and the roses painted on them are depicted, and with the shaking of the candle flame, the flower shadows are sufficient, like a beautiful woman dancing in the waves.
The night was silent, and in a trance, she could hear her own heartbeat like a thunderous drum.
After drinking the wine, she is his wife.
For a long time, neither of them spoke. Maybe Chu Xizhi's gaze was too hot, or maybe the room was lit with strong sandalwood, or maybe the phoenix crown on Xiao Xiwei's head was too heavy, she suddenly felt a little pain in her head, and couldn't help frowning and snorting softly.
This voice made Chu Xizhi suddenly come back to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Xiwei couldn't help blushing, and held back for a while before he whispered, "This phoenix crown is too heavy." ”
Chu Xi smiled, stood up and wanted to take off the phoenix crown on Xiao Xiwei's head, but he forgot that Xi Niang knotted the two of them together before leaving. As soon as he moved, the whole person suddenly fell, and half of his body was pressed on Xiao Xiwei's body.
Xiao Xiwei's face was as red as the wedding dress on his body.
"Madame......" a low, hoarse and magnetic voice hit her ears along with the warm breath.
Xiao Xi blushed slightly, and after a while, he responded in a low voice, "Hmm." ”
Chu Xizhi looked at her deeply, and for a long time, he lowered his head and kissed the cherry red lips hard.
The red curtain slowly drooped down, and two figures overlapping in the curtain could be faintly seen.
