Chapter 177: Candle Night in the Cave Room (1)
In the eighth year of Tianzheng, the sixth day of the eighth month!
On the day of Uncle Rong's wedding in Ningguo Mansion, the entire Ningrong Street was very lively, and the two Ningrong Mansions also put aside the suspicion since last year, and most of the people in Rongguo Mansion came to help occupy a place to add a little pomp.
In the early morning, You Shi took a few maids to unlock Jia Rong's door, and when he went in, he was still sleeping, which made You Shi laugh more than once, and the maids never spoke, but after seeing You Shi laughing, they couldn't stop laughing.
Then You Shi ordered Ping'er, Yindie and Wang Xifeng to wrap a quilt in one of them and carry them away, and then woke Jia Rong up and asked him to change into a wedding dress.
After that, the mattress and quilt pillow were replaced with a new one.
In the outer courtyard, Jia Rong washed her face with clean water, and when the auspicious time came, she rode a black horse and went to Qin's house with a group of people and eight sedan chairs.
Jia Rong rode a horse to open the way at the front, followed closely by the big sedan chair, and the two rows should have followed the matchmaker and the maid and the servant, but because You was too anxious to find a daughter-in-law for Jia Rong to take the initiative to choose and take the initiative to hire, so the matchmaker was You Shi, but how could You Shi come as a matchmaker, so there was a lack of matchmaker along the way.
Behind the sedan chair is a huge guard of honor, with gongs and drums and firecrackers, quite a sense of majesty.
To illustrate, the eight sedan chairs here are not eight sedan chairs, but only one sedan chair and eight people to carry.
The civil sedan chair can only be carried by two people, so it becomes a two-person sedan chair, and the official is a four-person sedan chair, and only the third-grade and above officials or lords can use eight sedan chairs.
And Jia Rong can just use eight large sedan chairs.
As for the royal family, there are not so many taboos, as long as your palanquin is big enough, you have no problem letting a hundred people carry it.
Riding on the horse, Jia Rong was sleepy-eyed, if it weren't for the fact that there was a servant leading the horse in front of him, he was afraid that he would let the horse go at will, he was too sleepy.
Yes, it's just sleepy, not tired!
I didn't rest all night, and I just slept for less than a quarter of an hour, and I was woken up by my wife, and if he hadn't gotten married today, he really wanted to fall asleep right away.
What Jia Rong didn't know was that at the same time, his daughter-in-law was also very sleepy.
In the Qin family, Qin Keqing's boudoir is also covered with red and festive, and her wide wedding dress can't show her figure, and she can't see her face when she covers her head.
Only the tender hands that move back and forth from time to time explain the nervousness of the bride Qin Keqing, thinking that she is going to get married today and go to someone else's house, Qin Keqing didn't fall asleep in a panic all night.
At this time, she was not the only one in Qin Keqing's boudoir, and her two maids were also there.
The two maids were also like her, their complexions were not very good, and they probably did not fall asleep, but they still had a mood called joy written on their faces.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk all the time! Rui Zhu asked, at this time, she was counting the clothes that Qin Keqing should bring to Ning Guofu.
She chatted with Ruizhu non-stop, but Qin Keqing never spoke, she was worried about whether her young lady was too afraid of getting married, so she asked.
But before Qin Keqing's answer, he was preemptively taken over by Ruizhu, who took Qin Keqing's jewelry on the other side, and said with a smile: "Baozhu, we can't call Miss in the future, we have to be grandma, don't call it wrong again." ”
"What's wrong with calling Miss, I like to call Miss, our Miss is a fairy-like person, and grandma is old." Orb laughed.
Hearing this, Rui Zhu also nodded: "That's right, I'm afraid that Uncle Na Rong will be fascinated by our young lady as soon as he comes." ”
Rui Zhu and Bao Zhu looked at Qin Keqing as they spoke, obviously joking.
On weekdays, Qin Keqing's personality is too good, which leads to Ruizhu and Baozhu not having any scruples when they talk, and now the three of them are also used to getting along in this way.
But they are still young and don't understand the rules, how can Qin Keqing not teach them.
Qin Keqing thought that instead of going to her in-law's house to be taught a lesson, it was better to talk about them now.
So Qin Keqing opened his mouth and reprimanded: "You two girls, you have to keep your mouth shut, it's not our family over there, don't talk too big or small, and beware of me whipping you if you talk so weirdly." ”
Ruizhu and Baozhu heard that Qin Keqing's tone was really talking about them, so the two of them put down their affairs and went to Qin Keqing's side, holding her hand while holding her.
Baozhu: "Hehe, I was wrong, and I ask grandma to forgive me." ”
Ruizhu: "Me too! ”
"You guys!" Qin Keqing sighed, this girl is really good, she stepped forward to beg for mercy as soon as she learned a lesson.
"The groom has arrived!"
At this moment, the three of them also heard the call outside the door, Rui Zhu and Bao Zhu hurriedly let go of Qin Keqing's hand and ran to the window to watch the excitement.
Qin Keqing felt the two of them leaving, and hurriedly asked, "Alas, why are you two going?" ”
Baozhu replied, "Miss, you sit down first, and let's see what my uncle looks like." ”
It was clear that Baozhu had said the wrong thing again.
Ruizhu patted Baozhu's arm and reminded: "Why do you keep shouting, we are going to accompany grandma, you should call uncle, not uncle." ”
"Alright, alright, got it." The orb doesn't matter.
She felt that she hadn't really gone to Ning Guofu at this time anyway, and there were no outsiders, so what was there to talk about casually!
And Qin Keqing was sitting alone, her heart was like a mess, and she also wanted to see what her future husband was like now.
Is it really that handsome?
Before, because Jia Rong was too handsome, her door was scribbled and rotten eggs were thrown, and Qin Keqing has always been very curious.
I want to see if Jia Rong is more handsome than Pan An and Song Yu written in the book.
Outside the house, Jia Rong basically didn't encounter any resistance when she entered the yard, and she came over easily according to the process, which was not at all like the stage when ordinary people got married.
did not eat the so-called "closed door" that should be married, and there was also "dismounting", of course, this should be the Qin family's relatives and friends who did not dare to make trouble with Jia Rong, after all, they didn't have a problem with their brains, and daring to throw their faces to Ning Guofu was simply death.
There are no tricks to block the door, drink, and children to ask for money, some are just relatives and friends of the Qin family who came forward to greet Jia Rong, although Jia Rong didn't know them, she also talked to them one by one, making them feel more faced.
This made Jia Rong feel emotional, the feeling of having rights is good, no one dares to provoke you.
It stands to reason that marriage should be quite fierce, this is the case in modern times, and it should be even more powerful in ancient times, Jia Rong accompanied a friend to pick up relatives in her previous life.
On the way to the bride's house, there was a face full of wine for the groom and his companions to drink, and when they arrived, they had to block the door, and there were all kinds of torture by the bride's relatives and friends, such as what to make the groom drink the bride's foot washing water, make the groom kneel and sing conquest, etc., and even more excessively, to take the opportunity to beat the groom.
After returning to the man's home, he will be tortured by relatives and friends in the man's family, some good deeds will tie up the father-in-law and daughter-in-law on the same bed and beat, and there are countless people who take the opportunity to molest the bride and bridesmaids, this is not a rumor, this is a fact.
There are more such things, and Jia Rong was frightened out of the psychological shadow by this bad habit in her previous life, so she never dared to get married.
Most of these vices come from relatives and friends who are almost the same strength or people who are stronger than themselves, but once these people face people who are much higher than their own status, they will be extremely well-behaved, such as now facing the powerful Jia Rong, they all seem to be so kind and friendly.
In fact, Jia Rong didn't remember it alone, and it didn't take much time to go through the process, and finally the bride's younger brother Qin Zhong put the bride on the sedan chair, and then set off to return to Ningguo Mansion with the bride's dowry.
This shocked Jia Rong again, as far as he knew, Qin Ye didn't have much savings, but the dowry he gave his daughter was not a lot at all, several large boxes.
Jia Rong seriously suspected that Qin Ye had used all the dowries as dowries and reversed.
He didn't earn anything about the dowry that was equivalent to marrying his daughter, and even Jia Rong was mentally prepared for any sedan fees, change fees, and happy money for the child.
I brought a lot of money for nothing.
I felt pretty good all the way, but the only thing I didn't feel good about was that I never saw the bride's appearance from beginning to end, and the wedding dress was too wide to judge whether the bride was good-looking by her figure.
This is the only thing Jia Rong is dissatisfied with this wedding, arranged marriage is not good, what the object of the future relationship looks like is all up to luck, although Jia Rong believes in You Shi's vision, but in case You Shi happened to be out of sight that day, right!
However, the bride roughly already knows whether the groom is handsome or ugly, because although Qin Keqing is covered with a hijab, she still has two pairs of eyes, Ruizhu and Baozhu, to observe for her.
Ruizhu and Baozhu are not qualified to be coquettish even if they are married maids, and the two of them stand on the side of the sedan chair and follow.
Ruizhu opened the curtain on the left side of the sedan chair and whispered: "Grandma, I have seen it for you, the uncle is really handsome!" ”
This sentence is like giving Qin Keqing a tranquilizer, although he has already heard of Jia Rongsheng's handsome, but after all, he has only heard about it, and now he sees it by his own people, and it is true.
Although she doesn't have any requirements for her husband's appearance, it is better to hear that he is good-looking, otherwise it will be a rotten egg that has been thrown away for a few days in vain.
"It's just that the uncle looks like he's very tired, and it feels like he's about to fall asleep on the horse." At this time, Ruizhu added another sentence.
"Don't look blind, follow along, we'll talk about it when we get there." Qin Keqing stretched out his hand and closed the curtain, and he already knew everything he wanted to know.
He's almost asleep on horseback?
In the sedan chair, Qin Keqing thought about what Ruizhu had just said alone, and was much more relaxed, and muttered: "Could it be that he was as nervous as me last night, and I thought that only my daughter's family would be nervous." ”
Covering her hijab, she couldn't see Qin Keqing's expression at this time, but judging from the magnitude of her head, she should be looking towards the roof of the car, and she may be thinking about something.
"I don't know if he imagined each other as much as I did last night, thinking about today's events, thinking about how to be a groom."
"It should be!"
How did Qin Keqing know that Jia Rong had successfully served as the groom's official last night, and at this time, her hijab was obviously bright red but faintly glowing with a hint of green.
Inside the Ningguo Mansion!
At this time, the Mahjong Big Four began a new round of conquest.
But Wang Xifeng. Ping'er and Yindie all had dark circles under their eyes, and only Mrs. Feng was in better shape.
"Chicken!" Mrs. Feng played her cards and looked at the three of them, and said quietly: "What's wrong with you, one by one like a bitter melon." ”
Mrs. Feng felt that these three people were really abnormal today.
"Gojo, hehe." Ping'er sneered and gently put the cards on the table: "It's okay, what can we do." ”
"yes, yes, what can we do?" Yindie nodded and echoed Ping'er's words: "You just think too much, Jiuzhu." ”
Mrs. Feng was the only one who kept the agreement last night, how could they be embarrassed to say something to Mrs. Feng, although they had been seen by a few maids today, and it was estimated that they couldn't hide it, but the three of them still decided to keep it secret, and they could hide it for a while.
"Are you alright?" Mrs. Feng's eyes turned back and forth between the three people in front of her, and then she sneered: "Hehe, you guys are okay, why is Sister Feng, who talks the most happily on weekdays, boring today?" Can any of you tell me. ”
"And Yindie, why are you standing and playing mahjong, are you uncomfortable to sit on, or do you want to peek at whose cards?"
"Ping'er, you play mahjong, you play mahjong, what does it mean when you fall asleep, this is Sister Feng'er's bed, she didn't sleep, what do you sleep, what do you sleep."
Mrs. Feng asked a series of questions, leaving the three of them speechless.
Oh, no, it was Ping'er and Yindie who were speechless when asked, because Wang Xifeng had never spoken from beginning to end, so she couldn't be counted.
The three of them all looked embarrassed, among them, Yindie was the most bitter, only she was standing, she didn't want to stand, she was tired to death.
It's just that if she continues to do it, she can't accept it even more.
She couldn't help but think of the sad thing, the three of them played mahjong, the first Wang Xifeng, the second Ping'er, the third silver butterfly, the silver butterfly was the last to play the card, and it was also the worst loss.
Not only her, but also Wang Xifeng and Ping'er regretted not calling Mrs. Shangfeng, mahjong should not play three dingjiao, and the four sisters should advance and retreat together.
Mrs. Feng was still waiting for the three of them to reply, but the three of them couldn't say one, two, or three for a long time.
"Alas~!" In the end, Mrs. Feng sighed: "You guys just think too much, what is it for Brother Rong to get married, as long as he has us in his eyes, it's enough, don't think about those who don't have it." ”
"Also, don't embarrass people when the bride comes, we'll play our mahjong here, don't go to disdain, it's not good to make everyone unhappy."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them realized that Mrs. Feng mistakenly thought that they were unhappy and awkward because Brother Rong was going to pick up the bride.
