Chapter 4: The Day of the Wedding
On February 15, the two families of Yue and Jiang got married, and the Jiang family was busy early, and Rou Yun let the winter solstice pick up the makeup from the futon before dawn; The Jiang family has no female dependents, and Mrs. Yue sent several experienced mothers in the house to help a few days ago.
"Young lady, the slaves and maids will help you comb your hair and save your hair, if you are not thoughtful, you can remind it," said the older Zhao's mother.
"Youlao's mother," Rou Yun nodded.
The mother in Yuefu is skillful, and the makeup and hair have been perfected after a while, and the mothers are stunned no matter how many beauties they have seen, a black hair is pulled into a tall beauty sideburns, and the sideburns are low and obliquely inserted into the pearl and jasper hairpins, and the head is full of pearls and jade, dazzling and dazzling, the face is like a hibiscus, the eyebrows and apricot eyes, the skin is like snow, the breeze blows the jade sleeves, and the xia cloak sways to show the golden lotus.
"The young lady is really stunning," Zhao's mother admired unabashedly.
"If the general sees it, he won't be hooked haha," Qian's mother covered her mouth and smiled.
Dong Solstice saw his own girl blushing and helped and said: "Mother, don't say it anymore, our girl is thin-skinned"
The mothers looked at Rou Yun's ears and the tips were stained red, and they all restrained their laughter and stopped ridiculing.
The greeting team arrived at the door of Jiang's house in the evening, as the old lady said, dozens of miles of red makeup, the team occupied the most lively street in Kyoto from beginning to end, although the number of people was large but orderly, the trees all over the city were tied with red ribbons, and the crowd of onlookers was endless, I don't know whether it was to see this unprecedented wedding, or to see the jokes of the Yue Jiang family.
Rou Yun was put on the red hijab by her mothers, and then got up, supported by the winter solstice, and came to the hall to bow to Jiang Mian.
"Daughter thanks her father for her nurturing grace" Rou Yun knelt down, her forehead knocked heavily on the ground, and her voice was already choked.
"Hurry up" Jiang Mian stepped forward to help his daughter up, although the Yue family and the Jiang family are not far away, but in the end it is to marry a daughter, and there is 10,000 reluctance in his heart, "In the future, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Yue family, remember to take care of the general, be filial to your in-laws, and share honor and disgrace." ”
"What My Daughter Knows"
"The sedan chair has arrived, let's go" Jiang Mian turned his back and burst into tears.
Rou Yun was helped up by the winter solstice, looked at her father's back, and then looked at the place where she had lived since she was a child, and reluctantly took steps outward.
"The bride is here!"
As the matchmaker shouted, firecrackers began to be set off outside the door, and Rou Yun looked at the greeting team through the red hijab, and the man standing on the horse in front of him did not look at it.
As if noticing the woman's gaze, Canglan turned over and dismounted and ran neatly to Rou Yun: "Young lady, I am the general's personal guard Canglan, the general's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he ordered me to greet him." Canglan's smiling eyes were slit, "The auspicious time has come, young lady, let's go"
"I'm sorry for you," Rou Yun bowed.
The red lantern opened the way, blowing and blowing all the way along the way, the beads hanging at the head of the sedan chair were blown by the wind and clanked, Rou Yun pinched her sleeves, and she could faintly see the outside through the sedan curtain.
The welcoming team arrived at the gate of Yuefu in a mighty way, and Yue Xun's legs and feet were inconvenient and did not appear, so he saved the link of kicking the sedan car door, and Rou Yun was supported by the winter solstice to cross the burning brazier, stepping on the bricks paved with red silk, and entered the hall. Yuefu is a big family in the end, the verandah is full of guests on both sides, and the guests are congratulating everywhere, and the mothers of Yuefu are busy thanking each other, arching a road for their young lady with their bodies, and Rou Yun is brought to the main hall by the winter solstice.
The inner eunuch on the side began to call the flowers to say the eulogy, because the marriage was in a hurry, the inner supervisor was sent by the saint to assist, Yue Xun's father and brother were unable to return to Beijing to participate in the war, so the elders in the hall were only the old lady and Wei.
"When the auspicious time comes, the bride and groom worship heaven and earth!" The inner supervisor shouted at a sharp voice.
The guests looked forward to it, but they didn't wait for Yuexun, only to see Canglan holding a long tasseled gun and speaking quite awkwardly: "The old lady general said that he is not well, so let the young lady bow to this gun." ”
Mrs. Yue's face suddenly looked bad when she heard this, her grandson agreed to get married, but she actually made such a name; Wei also frowned, and was so anxious to stand up and rush to the backyard to ask his son for an explanation.
"Since the husband is inconvenient, then everything should be simple." Rou Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Dong Solstice's hand comfortingly: "It's not good to delay the hour." ”
"I'm tired." Rou Yun said to Canglan.
Mrs. Yue pressed the Wei family, knowing that Rou Yun was doing this for the sake of Yuefu's face, she took a deep breath and greeted with a smile: "My granddaughter-in-law is really virtuous, let's start with the king's internal eunuch." ”
"Huh!" In the end, the king's inner eunuch is a person in the palace, and he has never seen any big scene, and he swept the dust in his hands.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two worship the high hall." How did the old lady and Wei look at how satisfied the woman was.
"Husband and wife worship each other."
"Send it to the cave." Rou Yun was brought into the Changying Courtyard by the winter solstice and the grandmothers.
Changying courtyard after expansion, is the largest courtyard in the house, the new house is lit with delicate dragon and phoenix candles, it seems bright and warm, a few days ago the room was in a hurry to arrange a little, replaced with new beds, tables and chairs, mandarin duck silk quilt covered with red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds and other things, the meaning is excellent.
The grandmothers were still holding the dried fruits on the plate and sprinkling them on the bride's body, when there was a gurgling sound of wheelchairs rolling through the bluestone bricks outside the door, and the maids and grandmothers quickly stopped their work and lined up in two rows with their heads hanging and waiting.
"General." The bead curtain at the door was lifted, and Canglan pushed Yue Xun into the house, and the maids in the house bowed down to salute.
Rou Yun vaguely saw the tall figure of the man in the wheelchair through the hijab, which was not real, and seemed to be wearing a wedding dress.
"Go down." Yue Xun swept over the people in the room and said lightly.
"But General, this salute is not over yet." Mama Wu, the elder in the house, spoke. She also wanted to leave, but she couldn't do it well, and she didn't have an explanation for the old lady.
Yue Xun knew that the matter of visiting the church today had annoyed her grandmother, and if she went against the old lady's wishes at this time, she was afraid that she would be stunned for a while, so she raised her hand and pointed at Mama Wu: "You stay, and the rest of the people go out." ”
The maids got the order and couldn't wait to rush out, and no one wanted to stay longer. The winter solstice hugged the girl worriedly.
"You can go down on the winter solstice." Rou Yun spoke, and the winter solstice hesitated to exit the house led by Canglan.
"General, it's time to pick up the hijab." Mama Wu brought the tray with a delicate scale on it.
Yue Xun picked up a corner of the scale rod and lifted it back, and the hijab slid down his black hair, revealing a bewitching face.
'Yue Han's concubine, chasing Luobin's beautiful lady', Yue Xun was a little stunned, and suddenly remembered a poem he had seen.
When the hijab was raised, Rou Yun also raised her eyes to look at Yue Xun, dressed in red just like the young man she saw back then, with a scar on his face, but on that face like a crown of jade, it didn't seem to be so abrupt, realizing that his behavior was inappropriate, Rou Yun was flushed and lowered her head.
"I wish you two all the best, please drink the wine next", Mama Wu realized that the two of them had changed their expressions, and they were happy, and the work in their hands was not idle, so she took the scoop away, divided it into two halves, poured the wine, and held it with a red thread between the scoops, and carefully handed the wine over, Yue Xun took it with both hands, and then handed one of the scoops to Rou Yun, the two of them each held a scoop, their hands were lined with each other, the liquor burned her throat, Rou Yun had never touched the wine, and her face was even redder directly, Mama gently patted her back, looked at the number of salutes, and saluted, Exit the room lightly.
The room was silent, the winter wind jumped through the window, blowing the dragon and phoenix candles swaying, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
"Why did you agree to marry me?" Yue Xun asked directly.
The voice was faint without the slightest emotion, and Rou Yun almost thought she was talking to another person.
"Thanks to the old lady's care, Qian has solved the difficulties of the Jiang family," Rou Yun replied softly.
"Oh... It was originally a merchant family to repay the favor. Yue Xun raised his hand to stroke the hideous scar on his face, looked at Rou Yun, and his gaze was very aggressive and stared at her all over her body: "The plaque and letter sent by you are really from you?" ”
Although Rou Yun was afraid, she still had the courage to look at her: "I said yes, does the general believe it?" What about the businessmen, after your accident, the small families are afraid to avoid it, for fear of the big family; Although I came from a humble background, the Jiang family knew that I was willing to marry to repay the old lady's kindness, not the wealth of the Yue family. ”
Rou Yun's fingertips clenched, and when she said the excitement, her eyes were misty.
"Hold back the tears!" Yue Xun frowned when he saw this, he couldn't see a woman crying the most.
On the battlefield, he had seen women crying too many times; Either life or death; Now although his leg is useless, he is not dead, and his wife has tears in his eyes, which is unlucky.
Rou Yun bit her red lip lightly, but her tears were obediently choked back.
Yue Xun said patiently: "Now that you see my appearance, it's still too late to change your mind, if you want, Ming'er and I will go and ask my grandmother to reconcile with you, and it doesn't matter if the dowry is all taken away, and then you can remarry with an innocent body." ”
"Is the general going to divorce me?" Rou Yun couldn't believe it, on the first day she entered the house, she was mentioned and left by her husband.
"I'm dead on my legs, what else do you get by following me." Yue Xun got used to seeing him have an accident, and the attitude of the people in Beijing towards him was afraid to avoid him.
"Since I am married to a general, I am the general's wife, and I share honor and disgrace in this life, besides" Rou Yun paused slightly, and there seemed to be light in her eyes: "I believe in the general." ”
Rou Yun has seen her father's feelings in her eyes since she was a child, and she has been exposed to it, looking forward to finding someone who is wholeheartedly infatuated with her mother like her father, marrying her husband, and before marriage, Rou Yun decided that she would bind herself and Yue Xun together in this life no matter what.
A simple sentence burned Yue Xun's heart like a soldering iron, and everyone felt sorry for him because he was already a cripple in his life, including him himself, who didn't believe that he could stand up again one day, she actually said that she believed in him? Yue Xun didn't dare to ask her what she believed in, believing that he could stand? Believe that he can continue to fight? Or do you believe he can return to the top of the job?
Yue Xun saw the woman staring at him, her expression was extremely serious, and she didn't turn her face and didn't respond: "It's not too early, let's rest."
Rou Yun saw that Yue Xun was no longer embarrassed, he just took a deep breath and relaxed, and suddenly his body tensed up again, he said rest, tonight is the night of candles in the cave room, what does he mean ......
Rou Yun was so nervous that she tightened her sleeves, and after being mentally prepared, she stood up and asked, "I'll help the general change his clothes?" ”
"No, call Canglan in" Yue Xun was not used to women's service, and added another sentence at the end: "Let the maid also take off your headdress"
"Hmm." Rou Yun didn't dare to slack off, and shouted at the vicissitudes and winter solstice outside the door.
"Girl......" Winter Solstice called the girl for many years, and Rou Yun did not let her change her name, she lowered her head the whole time as soon as she entered the door, for fear that one would accidentally offend the general.
Rou Yun knew what she was thinking, and said intimately: "Winter solstice, let's go behind the curtain to unload."
"Yes!"
