Chapter 170: Preparing for Marriage
Because Jiang Zhixia had no mother, and he didn't even have close female elders, before the curfew the day before the wedding, Mrs. Lin took a package and gave it to Jiang Zhixia.
Jiang Zhixia was curious and wanted to open it to take a look, but Mrs. Lin suppressed her hand, squirmed her lips for a long time, and finally only said that she would let her take a look for herself at night when no one was around, and left in a hurry---- feeling that she was running away.
The obedient Jiang Zhixia waited until the night when no one was around, and after opening the package, he saw a thick book with the words "Fire Avoidance Map" written on it.
Jiang Zhixia opened it while wondering why he wanted to give a picture album about avoiding fires, and he had to read it when no one was around.
When she turned the first page, she saw the contents of it, and she immediately closed it with a flushed face.
She stood up and spun around in a frustrated circle.
Where is this picture of avoiding the fire?,This is clearly a picture of the spring palace.。
In her previous life, although she had no practical experience, she had heard of it. It's just that I didn't expect it to be like this now.
She put the album back in the package, and then put it in the box and put it up again.
After lying on the bed, Jiang Zhixia couldn't sleep.
For a while, I thought of the album I just looked at, and then I thought that I was going to get married tomorrow, and then I thought of Chu Tiankuo's saying that he would not have a round house for the time being, so repeatedly, and he fell asleep very late.
On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, auspicious, it is advisable to marry.
When Jiang Zhixia opened his eyes, he found that the bright sunlight had passed through the gap between the curtain and the hollowed out Duobao Pavilion and cast onto the bed.
She nestled under the covers and was stunned for a while. Suddenly thinking of today's day, I sat up with a 'rub'.
Ruolan and Xiaoman, who were always listening to the movement in the inner room, glanced at each other. He tiptoed over to the curtain and lifted a corner to look at it.
Seeing that it was really their own girl who woke up, the two of them walked in while smiling and opening the curtain.
"Congratulations, girl." The two of them wore brand-new satin clothes, and first saluted solemnly, "I wish the girl and my aunt a good old age and a hundred years of happiness." ”
"Okay, reward."
Jiang Zhixia hurriedly replied. He hears the word of blessing and is rewarded. So, I hurriedly handed the purse I had prepared last night to the two maids.
The two maids accepted the reward and began to serve Jiang Zhixia to get dressed and clean up the bed.
"What time is it? I was glaring when I looked at the sun. ”
Jiang Zhixia asked as he got dressed.
"It's just past two o'clock." Xiao Man ran outside to take a look at the drip, and then hurriedly trotted back and said.
I was afraid that the sound of the drip last night would disturb Jiang Zhixia's rest, so I took the drip outside.
Jiang Zhixia silently calculated in his heart, it's half past nine, this sleep is really long enough.
Fortunately, the wedding ceremony of the Great Calendar Dynasty was held at dusk. For this reason, the family of the married family needs to go to the government to report. lest during the curfew, they will be reprimanded by the officers and soldiers on patrol. Therefore, the bride usually starts dressing up after lunch.
However, the opening is carried out in the morning, and at noon, you have to prepare a meal of opening wine, also known as wedding wine.
And because Jiang Zhixia has no parents, the guests on Jiang Zhixia's side directly went to Chu Tiankuo's house to attend the wedding as a send-off relative.
In this way, it is also exempt from holding another evening banquet on Jiang Zhixia's side----- the people in the alley have invited the banquet two days ago.
However, Mrs. Lin brought the matchmaker over early to help.
Because Jiang Zhixia will be very busy today, she specially told not to disturb Jiang Zhixia's rest, so as to save her from looking bad.
After Mrs. Lin came, she checked Jiang Zhixia's home again.
Looking at these ten subordinates, he sighed secretly, but it has increased his popularity, and the atmosphere is lively.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhixia watched Xiao Man and Ruolan fly around the courtyard and room like two butterflies, checking clothes and jewelry.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang led with an excited expression, and Lin Qiushui, who was wearing a lilac dress, came in.
"Congratulations to Sister **. I wish ** sister and brother-in-law to grow old together. Lin Qiushui said with a gentle smile.
"You, you, why did you come?"
Jiang Zhixia looked at Lin Qiushui who walked in with the maid in surprise and greeted him.
She and Lin Qiushui are just a one-sided relationship. Even if the conversation is very speculative, it is only a one-sided relationship.
A few days ago, Lin Qiushui's maid came to give her a makeup gift, and she was already very surprised. At that time, the maid said that it was inconvenient for her young lady to go out, so she asked her to give a gift. Now, I'm here again.
Lin Qiushui took Jiang Zhixia's hand as he walked inside, and said with a gentle smile: "I also know that I am presumptuous to come." It was the last time I came to Paintscreen, and I talked to Ruolan. said that my sister got married today, but she was a sister who was not accompanied. I'll be cheeky enough to recommend myself. ”
The custom of the Great Calendar Dynasty was that before a woman went out, she should have a close unmarried female dependent as a companion sister and accompany her to wait for marriage.
It is for the dowry.
They are usually sisters of the same clan or cousins. However, Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't have either.
Not only that, but there are no close friends who are not married.
Lin Qiushui listened to the description of the painting screen, and couldn't help but pity Jiang Zhixialai.
There is no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, and no close relatives, which is indeed extremely pitiful.
Unlike her, even if her mother died early and her father was unkind, she still had an aunt who loved her.
Thinking of this, she no longer felt sad that her sweetheart was going to marry someone else, and decided to come to be Jiang Zhixia's companion sister and send her out of the cabinet.
"Thank you." Jiang Zhixia held Lin Qiushui's hand tightly, and was very excited.
She really didn't expect it. It's just that he comforted her once at the flower party, and Lin Qiushui actually reciprocated like this.
The two of them sat together and chatted, and there was a report from the front that the eldest princess of Chengping came over with the eldest lady.
Jiang Zhixia was about to go to the lobby of the front yard to meet the eldest princess, but she was persuaded by the grandmother of the princess's mansion with a smile.
"The girl is the most noble person in the world. The princess was afraid that the girl would be polite, so she asked me to come over. Wait, girl, our princess and eldest lady are coming here. ”
After saying this, it didn't take long for the eldest princess Chengping to come in accompanied by Mrs. Lin and the eldest lady.
After a few simple words, Mrs. Lin accompanied the eldest princess Chengping to the main hall in the front yard to drink tea.
"Today, my eldest daughter-in-law will stay here to help. As much as you can. ”
The eldest princess of Chengping teased with a smile.
There was a good-natured laugh from the crowd. Jiang Zhixia hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." Today I am going to work out the eldest lady. ”
The eldest lady nodded with a smile.
At the selected hour, a specially invited combing mother used five-color cotton yarn to open Jiang Zhixia's face.
After opening the face, Ruolan divided the noodles and fruits for everyone to eat according to what the matchmaker taught.
