Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wedding
After Wei Yangyang marries into the Qinghe Palace, he will be a person who belongs to the royal family, and he will rarely have the opportunity to return to the Earl's Mansion in the future. Mrs. Wei wanted to talk to her daughter all night, but when she thought that tomorrow would be the most important day in her daughter's life, she had to put away her worries and worries, and told Wei Yangyang to go to rest quickly.
The day of parting came soon, and in the early morning of March 29, Wei Yangyang and Wenru got up early. The maids waited for the two of them to wash and began to comb their hair. Wei Yangyang suddenly stopped the lady who combed her hair: "Wait a minute." She said to Song Wenru again: "Wenru, can you help me find my starling, I want him to comb the first three times for me." ”
As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked, on the day of the big day, how could there be a reason for the elder brother to comb his sister's hair? But Song Wenru heard her say that she and Starling grew up together, and knew that her brother and sister had a very deep relationship, so she didn't ask much, just leaned on her: "Okay." ”
After Wen Ru responded, she walked to the front yard, and she saw that the Wei brothers had gotten up early, put on their dresses, and were trying to carry a small sedan chair in the yard. They had practiced the sedan chair many times, and it had been lifted quickly and steadily, but today was the big day for the little sister, so they were still making the final preparations.
Except for Wei Yangyang and the old fifteenth Wei Binggong, Song Wenru had never seen anyone from the Wei family before. After she moved in the day before yesterday, because she was a female guest, it was Mrs. Wei and Wu Yun, the sixth sister-in-law of the Wei family, who were in charge of entertaining her, and she did not have the opportunity to meet the men of the Wei family.
Wei Yangyang now called her to find Wei Bingyue, which stumped her. She saw that there were about twenty Wei family children standing in the courtyard, in addition to Wei Yangyang's brother, and her cousins. Moreover, the Wei brothers are tall and dignified, and they really can't tell which one is Wei Bingyue.
Wei Bingyan saw that she didn't speak for a long time, obviously looking for someone: "Miss Song, who are you looking for?" Being asked by him like this, Song Wenru was a little embarrassed: "Wei Gongzi, I'm looking for Wei Gongzi, no, no, I'm looking for General Wei." Hearing her say this, Wei Bingkai laughed: "There are more than ten generals in our family, you have to tell me how many old men you are looking for." ”
Song Wenru only then thought that all the Wei family members were military generals, and they were all surnamed Wei, she was looking for "General Wei", and others naturally didn't understand who she was looking for. She herself felt that what she said was very funny, and thought that Wei Bingyue had just been promoted to the chief soldier of Haixi, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "I want to find the eighth prince, that is, the new chief soldier." Wei Bingkai then understood: "My starling, he is not here, he went to the kitchen." ”
"Who said I wasn't there!" Wei Bingyue's voice suddenly sounded from the side door. When he walked in, Song Wenru's eyes lit up, and then he knew what Wei Yangyang meant when he said that he was nicknamed "Three Knives of Death". When she first entered the hospital, she saw that the Wei brothers were all long and jade, some were heroic, some were handsome, and some were mighty.
But Wei Bingyue is different from the brothers, he is another good-looking: charming. He has a pair of amorous eyes, coupled with flower-like eyelashes, no matter which girl he looks at, he has a sense of affection. But his beauty is not exactly that kind of weak and soft, as a military general, he has great achievements, and he has a murderous aura on his body, no matter who he stands in front of, he will form an oppression on the other party.
Wei Bingqi pointed at Song Wenru and shouted at Wei Bingyue: "Starling, Miss Song is looking for you." "Song Wenru lived in the Earl's Palace, and the Wei family knew about it, and they also knew that she was a good friend of Wei Yangyang. Therefore, although she has not been to the front yard in the past two days, Wei Bingyue also understands her identity.
Wei Bingyue took a step forward and asked her very politely, "What is Miss Song looking for me?" Song Wenru was stared at by his amorous eyes and didn't dare to look directly, so he had to lower his head: "Mr. Wei, Miss Wei has started to make up." But she wants you to go and comb her for the first three times. ”
As soon as Song Wenru's words fell, Wei Bingyue's heart was hot, and his eyes were almost red. The Haixi people gave the marriage and asked the elder brother of the family to carry the younger sister all the way from the embroidery house to the float. But Wei Yangyang will soon be the princess of Qinghe, the body of a daughter, as a brother, naturally she can no longer carry her. And the Wei family has never had the experience of marrying a daughter, and they don't know what to do. The brothers discussed for several days, and finally made a small sedan chair, ready for eight people to carry her, all the way from the embroidery room to the float.
And these eight people, if they want to be loving husband and wife, healthy, and have many children, they must also be high-ranking military attaches in the Wei Family Army. Although Wei Bingyue has the highest official position and the greatest military achievements among the brothers, he died tragically before his wife got married, so he is naturally not qualified to carry a sedan chair. Therefore, when the brothers were trying to lift it just now, he felt a little sad in his heart, so he quietly walked away.
Now Wei Yangyang wants him to comb his hair, obviously because he doesn't want to snub him, and he also wants him to participate in the most important moment of his life. Wen Ru was only responsible for delivering the word, and he didn't understand why Wei Yangyang did this. She saw that the youngest Haixi general soldier in front of her, after listening to her words, her hands began to tremble, and her voice was a little excited: "Yes, she has combed her hair since she was a child. This is the last time in my mother's house, so naturally I want to comb it. ”
When Wei Bingyue walked into the dressing room, Wei Yangyang had already put on his dress and shouted at him: "Come on." He looked at Wei Yangyang's loose hair, and thought that the little sister in front of him was born weighing only four pounds, and almost died of illness before the full moon; But later, she was able to eat and drink, and she grew all the way to the big girl she is now.
He still remembered that when they were children, they often marched with the troops, and they lived almost every day, and sometimes Wei Yangyang was too young to walk, so he could only tie her to himself with a rope and carry her all the way. Once, when he encountered a surprise attack by the enemy in the middle of the night, he didn't have time to get the rope, so he could only grab Wei Yangyang and ride on his horse to escape.
He was only eleven years old at the time, and his sister was only four years old, and she was such a young child, half-asleep, and half-awake, she also knew to stretch out her hands and grasp her back tightly. Their brother and sister were pursued by the enemy, and he, a half-grown child, wanted to fight six pursuers with a sword, but no matter how fierce the battle was and how the horse was bumpy, Wei Yangyang grabbed him and did not fall off the horse. And she also dodged left and right smartly, and was not cut by the enemy once.
The brother and sister grew up all the way in such an environment, and when he got an official position and received a salary, Wei Yangyang kept saying that he wanted to eat him. He looked forward to marrying her off every day and letting her go to her in-law's house as soon as possible. But today, she is really going to eat her mother-in-law's house, and she is really going to be "someone else's lady", Wei Bingyue's heart has a sense of reluctance.
King Qinghe is the prince of Zhengyipin, has a large fiefdom, and has a fortune of 10,000 taels of silver every year, so he will definitely not starve her. In the future, if King Qinghe becomes the crown prince and inherits the throne, he will be even richer all over the world, and Wei Yangyang's life will only get better and better, and he will no longer have to live the hard life of Lanying. I should be happy for her, but for some reason, I still hope that she will follow her, shouting all the way to eat herself.
Wei Bingyue kept telling herself in her heart not to cry, otherwise, Wei Yangyang would shed tears, and she would be sick again.
He forced himself to suppress the emotions in his heart, stepped forward, picked up the comb, only felt that the comb was heavier than his twenty-eight-pound Yihe knife, and his hands began to shake again.
Wei Yangyang could see that he was a little strange, and deliberately asked him: "Are you ready for the embroidered bun?" Hearing her mention the embroidered bun, Wei Bingyue's thoughts returned to calm: "Don't worry, little fairy, I have already prepared it, and I deliberately chose a smaller basket." As soon as he finished speaking, the Haixi maids present couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Bingyue saw that Song Wenru didn't know why, so he explained to her: "Miss Song doesn't know, we Haixi people have a custom when they marry daughters. When the bride is a few years old, her mother's family will steam a few red flowering buns and put them in a basket and take them to her in-law's house. In this way, as soon as the in-laws opened the basket, they knew how old the bride was. I used to say that our Miss Wei has never been able to get married, so when she gets married, don't you have to find the largest basket in the whole of Haixi? But she's my sister after all, and I always have to take care of her face. So I searched for several days, deliberately found a small basket, and squeezed nineteen flowering buns into it. In this way, outsiders can't see how old our little fairy is? ”
Song Wenru laughed so hard that her abdomen hurt: "How can there be such a funny custom?" Wei Yangyang saw Wei Bingyue joking, and knew that he was no longer sad, so he said angrily: "You be quiet, you don't have to look at the basket now, everyone knows that there are nineteen steamed buns in it." When the day dawns, everyone in Huadu will know how old I am! The crowd burst into laughter again.
After Wei Bingyue combed the first three times, he handed the comb to the comb lady and walked out. Half an hour later, the sky was slightly bright, Wei Yangyang got dressed and walked into the lobby. Her parents, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, except for those who stayed in Haixi on duty, all other clansmen rushed to see her off, and the Earl's Palace was crowded with people inside and outside, which was simply very lively.
Wei Yangyang came out of the embroidery room, passed through relatives and friends, came to the lobby, and knelt in front of his father. The garrison is not good at words on weekdays, and today he only confessed to her three sentences: "You must listen to the emperor and the queen; Get along well with King Qinghe; We must take care of the reputation of our Wei family and don't cause trouble. ”
Wei Yangyang bowed his head to say goodbye to his parents: "Yes." "Since she was half a year old, she has been raised in Lanying, and the days of living at home in these years have been less than a month. Mrs. Wei still has a thousand words to say to her in her heart, but before they meet, she is going to get married, which is really happy and disappointed. Although King Qinghe has a good temper, the royal daughter-in-law is difficult, she has been straightforward since she was a child, and she doesn't know if she can get used to it after entering the palace.
Wei Shuping saw that his wife's eyes were red, so he persuaded her: "Xiao Ni has to marry to the ends of the earth, just in this flower capital, it will be easier to meet in the future than when she was in Haixi." "Wei Yangyang entered the palace, of course he can't go home all the time. When Wei Shuping said this, he was just comforting his wife.
Mrs. Wei hurriedly replied to him: "Yes, the fortune teller said that she couldn't get married, and I was worried every day." Now that I am married to King Qinghe, I am the best person in the world, and I am naturally happy. So saying, she took a piece of red tulle and put it over her daughter's face. Wei Yangyang's two aunts stepped forward, helped the bride, and escorted her out of the lobby.
After Wei Yangyang walked out of the lobby, he didn't need to take another step, and sat directly on the small sedan chair. Rokuro of the Wei family, along with Jiulang and Shilang, as well as five other cousins, lifted the sedan chair together and sent her out of the gate of the Earl's Palace. When the bride gets married, it is very common for eight sedan chairs to be carried by eight generals, but eight generals carry sedan chairs to get married, not to mention that they are in Haixi Province, which is also unprecedented in the entire Dayang.
Out of the gate, it's the float. King Qinghe is the prince, and there is no need to come to greet the bride in person, and the one who comes to greet him is the nephew of Emperor Jiahu, King Xinyang. He handed the bride a jade ruyi on behalf of the groom, asked Wei Yangyang to take it in his hand, and the two walked up to the float together and sat down.
Wei Bingyue hurriedly walked to the side where Wei Yangyang was sitting outside the float, handed her the embroidered bun basket, and whispered to her: "I also have two extra jujube flower buns in the basket." Today's one-day ceremony, I must not be able to eat, and when I am hungry, I will pad my stomach. Wei Yangyang was very moved, everyone is celebrating their wedding today, only he remembers that he may not be able to eat.
Wei Bingyue wanted to ease the atmosphere: "Don't be moved to cry, otherwise you will be made up and ugly, King Qinghe doesn't want you, you have to come back to eat me again, I won't raise you anymore." Wei Yangyang's tears almost burst out of her eyes, and she quickly turned her head inside, afraid that she would really cry.
The auspicious time has arrived, and firecrackers have begun to be set off inside and outside the Earl's Palace. The coachman drove the head horse with a whip tied with red silk, and the eight-horse float slowly drove out of the street. The procession of welcoming relatives lined up from the street to the end of the street, and the streets were crowded, and the people of the entire Huadu wanted to come and see how grand the wedding of King Qinghe was.
When the welcoming procession all passed through the Earl's Palace, the front was bustling and bustling, but the Earl's Palace was silent. Wei Yangyang really got married, and everyone's hearts were empty. Wei Shuping said to his relatives and friends: "Okay, let's go back and rest." Today is the worship church, so naturally our mother's family can't go. Tomorrow, the emperor will feast the ministers, and when he returns the day after tomorrow, he will be able to see him again. ”
