Chapter 122: The Great Wedding (I)
In a blink of an eye, the weather gradually warmed up, and the wedding date was approaching day by day.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Gu Wanyin also had a feeling of waiting to be married.
The four dowry girls have been decided, and Danzhi naturally doesn't need to say anything. The rest is Helu, Suqin, and a winter scene given by the old lady.
The mother is the son of the Gu family, so the mother and the family must also follow together. plus two other accompanying houses, the Lai family and the Wang family.
The old lady gave two Zhuangzi, and the three Zhuangzi left by Luo that year, a total of five Zhuangzi; Gu Congrui gave another one from his own name, which was six Zhuangzi.
Fifty acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, six shops in the city, two prosperous shops, and the rest of the locations are slightly off. But it's also profitable. The six shops add up, and there is a net profit of more than 2,000 taels a year.
There are also two houses, both of which are four-in.
There are a lot of other clothes and jewelry - first, she is such a concubine in the second room, and she is married beautifully, and the old lady refuses to treat her badly. Second, it always has to be commensurate with the man's dowry, right?
Not to mention the dowry at the end of the Zhou family, the gift list is full of twenty pages. The gift was a whole number of 10,000 taels. Rare objects, jewelry, and toys, not to mention.
When the dowry of the Zhou family came in, the old lady had a full yard in the courtyard, which was amazing to see. To put it bluntly, the Zhou family is really sincere.
The old lady naturally smiled from ear to ear, and immediately decided to add all the dowry to the original dowry, and gave it all to Gu Wanyin.
β¦β¦
Gu Wanyin sat on the stool and waited, Li personally took out a mirror from the big red lacquer box held by the girl, took a picture for her with a smile, and then put the mirror back.
Then. He carefully took out a porcelain doll from the box and handed it to Gu Wanyin with a smile.
Gu Wanyin didn't dare to look at Li's eyes, so she shyly took it and held it in her arms for a moment, and then handed it back to the third wife of the Gu family, Xue, next to her.
Xue took it, hugged it in his arms and never let go.
Li smiled and instructed Xue: "Sister, let's go." β
Xue nodded and smiled: "Well, I'm going." It's the first time I've stepped on the flower hall, and I'm really a little nervous. β
"It's okay, remember to light the red yarn lantern, and then put three artillery pieces in front of Zhou's house, just wait for your niece and son-in-law to come out. Wait until you enter the cave room. I first took this mirror with my niece and son-in-law, and finally sprinkled some water between the legs of the porcelain doll, and it was done. Li Shi lowered his voice and asked, not smiling and glancing at Gu Wanyin, but embarrassed her so much that she could barely raise her head.
Xue carefully hugged the porcelain doll and went.
Then Li ordered someone to bring hot water. Then he personally applied the hot cloth to Gu Wanyin's face. The Quanfu people who were found on the side used cotton thread to open Gu Wanyin's face.
Gu Wanyin closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. I only felt a burst of heat on my face, followed by a slight tingling. I don't feel bad.
Quanfu people's hands and feet are extremely nimble, and the cotton thread in his hand is opened and closed, and the fluff on his face is wiped out, and he knows that he is a veteran when he looks at it.
Li nodded and smiled: "It doesn't hurt to start quickly and ruthlessly." When I got married. The Quanfu man was afraid that he would hurt me, so he started lightly and slowly. It hurt so much that I grinned and almost didn't cry. It felt like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, it was really torturous. β
Gu Wanyin couldn't help laughing, and her tense body eased up. She understood that Li was deliberately talking to her to distract her so that she would not feel that pain. Actually, really, I don't feel pain, prickly, itchy, if you don't feel it carefully. I don't feel it like it.
"Alright;." Quanfu people put down the cotton thread in their hands after they were busy.
Gu Wanyin opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. I don't know if it's because of the opening of the noodles, she feels that her face is much smoother, revealing an attractive powder. The eyes are cloudy, and the pretty eyes are full of spring. Between expectations, it is very different from ordinary days.
Quanfu picked up the comb and gently spread Gu Wanyin's bun. Then while gently combing his hair with a comb, he sang: "Once you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about wealth; The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free; Three combs to the hair, many sons and many longevity; then comb to the end, raise the case and raise the eyebrows; The second comb is combed to the tail, and the wings fly together; Three combs to the end, forever knotted with one heart. There is a head and a tail, rich and noble. β
The gentle brushing of the comb through the hair is so slight that it is almost imperceptible.
The lyrics of the Quanfu people are also extremely festive.
But listening to this festive singing, Gu Wanyin felt that her eyes were a little sour. Even the Li family couldn't help shedding a few tears, looked at Gu Wanyin and choked up: "Ming'er will get married, and it will not be a girl's family anymore." In the future, I should honor my in-laws and serve my husbandβ"
Gu Wanyin also choked up.
Quanfu laughed: "Mrs. and Miss don't cry." Although the wife's tears are to help the young lady suppress the blessing, and the young lady's tears are to cry and marry, but in the end, it is a happy day, and it should be happy. β
Hearing this, Li couldn't help laughing, glanced at Quanfu with satisfaction, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Yes, it's not mine." provoked the second girl to cry. β
Gu Wanyin also wiped her tears embarrassedly and lowered her head shyly.
Li personally held the red envelope and handed it to the Quanfu people, and sincerely thanked him: "I'm sorry for your trouble." β
Quanfu people accepted the red envelope and said with a smile: "This is a good thing to accumulate blessings, and it is too late for me to be happy if you can invite me." β
After sending off the whole service, Li Shi looked at Gu Wanyin and said softly, "It's good to sleep for a while." β
Gu Wanyin nodded, personally sent Li out of the house, and then lay on the bed with her eyes closed and pretended to sleep. If you want to say that she really sleeps, she can't sleep. Thinking that she would get on the sedan chair in a few hours and marry the Zhou family, she couldn't help but be nervous.
Although she has seen Zhou Ruijing, it is much better than those women who have never seen the groom, but she still can't stop the cowardice and worry about the future.
What happens when you get married? What will the days come to come? What kind of person is Zhou Ruijing? Will their marriage be a happy one? And are parents-in-law and mother-in-law easy to get along with? How could she not be worried, not panicked?
Especially, something like that has happened before. Although Zhou Ruijing's attitude has been clear, what about the rest of the Zhou family? Is it the same view as Zhou Ruijing?
Besides, the third wife of the Gu family, Xue, arrived at the door of the Zhou family's hanging flowers. So he asked people to take out three cannonballs and ignite them in turn.
Without waiting for a moment, Zhou Ruijing opened the door and came out from inside. The instrument is lofty, calm but sharp, and the figure is long and thin, but not thin. The face is handsome, the contours are distinct, and the knife is like an axe and a chisel. The eyes are slightly narrow, with single eyelids, but the gaze is extremely sharp. The nose is straight and straight, and the lips are slightly thin. The bearing of that body, just looking at it, makes people feel inexplicably weak, and they don't dare to look at it for too long.
That kind of sharp gaze, staring at you for a long time, there is a feeling of being seen through, extremely uncomfortable;
Today, Zhou Ruijing is different from the past, the corners of his lips have been smiling, and even his eyes are much softer.
It was the first time for Xue to see Zhou Ruijing, and he nodded secretly after looking up and down at the moment. smiled and said, "I am Gu Wanyin's third aunt." β
Zhou Ruijing smiled and stepped forward to take the junior salute, and then took the red cloth wooden box according to the rules, the box contained a set of ready-to-wear clothes, a trouser belt, a skirt, a pair of embroidered shoes, a headdress, a red envelope of bran salt and a number of pomegranates, and the top was the mirror that Gu Wanyin had illuminated.
Xue was still holding the porcelain doll and was led to the new house by Zhou Ruijing. Along the way, Xue carefully observed and found that the new house was very close to the front, and the layout and landscape were excellent, so he nodded secretly. This shows that the Zhou family still attaches great importance to Gu Wanyin.
The marriage bed had already been delivered, and it was now ready in the new house.
Xue smiled and asked Zhou Ruijing to put the box at the head of the bed, and she also put the porcelain doll at the head of the bed. Then asked Zhou Ruijing to open the box, take out the mirror, and look at the face.
Zhou Ruijing did as instructed step by step without hurrying, with a faint smile on his face. However, he is not as shy and blushing as other grooms. Appears extremely calm.
Xue Shi took out the pair of embroidered shoes in the box, looked at Zhou Ruijing and asked, "Where are my uncle's shoes?" β
Zhou Ruijing was stunned, and then took out a pair of shoes that had been prepared long ago from the side.
Xue put Gu Wanyin's embroidered shoes into Zhou Ruijing's shoes, and all of them were the same. After putting on his shoes, he put them on the bedside.
Zhou Ruijing watched without blinking from the side, his face gradually became a little red, and his eyes were even brighter, extremely bright. He naturally knew what this meantβfuqi with shoes (Kai).
Xue sprinkled water between the porcelain doll's legs again. Symbolizes this noble son peeing.
At this point, stepping on the flower hall is considered to be the end. According to the rules, the Xue family went to eat again, took the money from the flower hall, and then returned to the Gu family with a smile.
After returning, the old lady and others told the details of the situation, and also told them what they had observed. The old lady laughed happily, "Good, good, good." β
And when the hour was not yet early, they went off to sleep. But in fact, I couldn't sleep for a while, so I had to get up. It's the right day tomorrow, how many things are busy?
β¦β¦
In the end, Gu Wanyin fell asleep in a daze, and saw light vaguely, and then heard Danzhi's voice: "Miss, it's time to get up." β
Gu Wanyin opened her eyes: "What time is it?" β
"It's too late, the water has been prepared, Miss go and take a bath." Danzhi hung the lantern at the head of the bed, then lifted the tent and whispered in her ear.
Gu Wanyin hurriedly got up and went to take a bath. This bathing is different from the usual ones, usually the water is filled with flowers or dried flowers, this time they are all put to ward off evil spirits - such as pomelo leaves, bamboo leaves, pine branches and other things.
After bathing, it's time to put on makeup. Originally, the mother combed her daughter's hair, but Luo died early, so Li came to comb Gu Wanyin's hair.
