Chapter 56: When the Wedding Proceeds (Transitional Chapter)
The boats dressed in red and green lined up, filling the Qingshui River to the brim, all the passing ships docked and waited for them to pass first, and even the most lively flower boats in the past were obediently parked on the shore, and the boats were full of people, pointing at the luxurious fleet.
Today is the day when the Zhenbei Hou Mansion sends a dowry, the shore has long been full of people watching, pointing and admiring, and those who have good things also publicized the things that the maids of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion came to make trouble a few days ago, emphasizing that the Zhenbei Hou is not the person who hates the poor and loves the rich, even if the Mo family has declined, he still uses such a big pomp to marry his daughter-in-law.
The Mo family has been very busy recently, seeing that the eldest girl is about to get married, everyone is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, but even so, everyone has a happy smile on their faces, this is a happy event, and the old man is generous, and everyone has received a lot of rewards.
The people of the Hou Mansion got off the boat, and there were already people from the Mo family waiting on the shore, and the carriage had been prepared a long time ago, and the unloaded things were loaded onto the carriage in front of everyone, causing bursts of exclamations.
The wharf on the three floors of the fence was full of praise, and no one noticed that there was an inconspicuous carriage parked there at the corner of the street, and the curtain was lifted, and a veiled face peeked out, and a pair of eyes stared at the lively scene, and his fingers clutched the curtain tightly, almost as if he wanted to break it.
"You get the idea, right? There are many words without mistakes" There was a man wearing a hat sitting in the driver's position, leaning lazily on the car with a horsewhip in his hand: "What a lively scene, now the entire Qinghe Town, and even the capital know that the eldest lady of the Mo family is married to a wealthy family, who will remember that the second lady of the Mo family was taken away on the street not long ago?" It's really the same life. ”
The woman who poked her head out threw the curtain away fiercely, and the person retracted into the carriage: "Go"
The man laughed, his voice full of strange meanings, but he didn't say much, and with a flick of his whip, the horse was immediately on the road, leaving all the excitement behind.
Dong Li, who had finally completed all the tasks, sat obediently in the room and listened to Mrs. Qin's rules, but her eyes were a little unbright, I don't know where to go, Mrs. Qin felt helpless in her eyes, but she didn't say much, Miss actually mastered these things, but she never did it, and it was useless for her to say anything.
"Miss, Miss, the person who gave the dowry is here" Shui Mo broke in, and after being glared at by Mrs. Qin sternly, he stuck out his tongue and quieted down.
However, Dong Li had already sobered up because of her cry, and looked at Mrs. Qin with great interest: "Mother Qin, I will do all this, just tell me to rest, I will do the same when I get to my mother-in-law's house in the future, and you can rest for a while." ”
Mrs. Qin shook her head helplessly, packed up her things and left, and Shui Mo immediately came over excitedly: "The slave maid saw it, there are a lot of things, a yard full of them, and a pair of geese, they are alive and beautiful." ”
What's so beautiful about geese? Dongli couldn't help but want to complain, but he couldn't help it, this is a piece of the heart of the Hou Mansion, a matter of giving himself face, he can't help but know what to do, right?
"What's this?" Dan Zhu made tea and brought it over: "They won't suffer, the dowry that our old lady bought for the young lady is no less than the dowry, enough to refill these boats and there are leftovers, by the way, one hundred and twenty of those things can't fit at all, and the lady plans to use the boat to send the extra part to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion first, and then the slave and maid will take the first step and take care of some things in the past, but don't let some blind people take advantage of it." ”
Danzhu and Ink are all wedding maids, Danzhu is a little old, it's time to match people, Xu wanted to change one, so Dongli refused, she was used to these two maids, and she couldn't adapt to the temporary replacement, so Xu simply bought several clever little maids to accompany him, and when the time came, he could pick and choose and slowly cultivate.
Besides, Nangong Xiao is a lustful person, and Danzhu can be a maid at this age, and he can also help Dongli share the pressure of the women in the inner courtyard. Of course, this is Xu's idea, but Dong Li has not thought about it that way.
After the dowry arrived, the dowry began to be loaded, so the old and young masters of Qinghe Town opened their eyes again, who said that there is no decent big family in Qinghe Town, look at the dowry of the Mo family, there are so many boats in the Hou Mansion in the north of the town that they can't fit it, and two more ships have been added.
Because the road is not close, Dongli said that he was married on July 18, and he had already boarded the ship on the 17th, so he had to take a boat for a day and go to the courtyard of the capital, and it was estimated that it would be dark when he got there, and then the next day early in the morning was the real wedding.
However, when she boarded the ship, she was already dressed as a standard bride, but fortunately she couldn't see the scene in front of her with her hijab covered, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stand it just by so many people looking at her like a monkey. Isn't it just getting married, what's so good-looking, it depends on yourself going home and getting married
got on the boat, sat honestly in his room, and the wedding maids were all serving on the side, and many people from the Mo family followed him, preparing to rush back after the wedding was completed, so that the fleet was even larger, and this marriage made the people of Qinghe Town talk about it for many years.
After the boat set sail, I felt less restrained, mainly because I was surrounded by my own people, and the east fence hurriedly lifted the hijab, the weather in July was the hot time, although it was cooler to sail on the river, but the head was covered with an impermeable red hijab, but it was really going to suffocate people.
She couldn't help but curse secretly, why did she set the wedding date in the summer? It's very hot to wear a red wedding dress like this, and she suspects that she will get prickly heat on her body after the wedding.
The fleet sailed fast all the way, and firecrackers were sprinkled to buy money everywhere it passed, and the onlookers shouted auspicious words while coaxing the happy money, and they were lively all the way to the capital.
The bride's feet can't touch the ground before entering her mother-in-law's house, so her brother Mo Youran worked hard and carried his sister off the boat to the sedan chair, and then carried it back to the courtyard in the capital.
In fact, Mo Youran wanted to carry his sister on his back and run away, so he gave his baby sister to that person, it was really a thousand and ten thousand unwilling, but no, if he really did that, not to mention whether the court would allow them to ruin the face of the royal family so much, even his own father and mother would not let him go.
This night is a good recuperation, Dong Li thought that she would be nervous and couldn't sleep, but she had a good night's sleep, she didn't even have a dream, and when she got up the next day, she couldn't help but spit on herself.
Early in the morning, I was called up by the maids.,It's said that this errand to get people up is very difficult.,Now people close to you already know.,Dong Fence gets up very angry.,The end of waking her up is very miserable.,At this time, Dong Fence will turn into a female devil.,Infinite power.,Hit you unequivocally.,The hateful thing is that she doesn't remember anything after she wakes up.,Let alone apologize.。
So the night before, Xu slept with his daughter, on the one hand, the mother and daughter whispered, by the way, taught their daughter about the night of the cave room, and the next day very early began to call her daughter to get up over and over again, and finally she couldn't bear to wake up the sleeping god with cold water, and without waiting for her to get mad, she directly twisted her ears and dragged her to the dresser.
A group of maids swarmed up, regardless of whether the young lady was sober or not, took cold water to wash her face, and Dong Li was sober, and then a group of people dressed me and I tied my belt, and soon put on the wedding dress.
Next is the main event, open the face, rub the face with a thin red rope, twist the delicate fluff on the face, and from then on she will no longer be a yellow-haired girl, the process of opening the face is more difficult, Dongli can hardly help but shed tears, it really hurts
After opening her face, someone brought a boiled egg with the shell peeled, and the two women took it and rolled it on her face, and Dong Li closed her eyes and forced it, she wouldn't go to the church with the smell of eggs, right? There are a lot of mistakes, right? No mistakes in many words
Bridal makeup is generally relatively colorful, and some people can't even see their original face after painting makeup, so they look at a white face
On the red and glamorous mouth, don't say it's beautiful, it's called a horror, Dong Li resolutely rejected the idea of others using his face as a drawing board, Ink quickly took out the lady's homemade cosmetics, although it was also heavy makeup, but this one looked a little more mature and glamorous, not a little scary.
In the end, the woman also nodded, this looks good, bridal makeup, anyway, it will be washed off and re-reproduced at that time.
Xu held a comb carved with carp and lotus in his hand to comb his daughter's hair, muttering auspicious words in his mouth, tears fell as he spoke, Dong Li couldn't help but see red circles in the mirror, a group of people hurriedly rushed up to make fun, it's unlucky to shed tears today, and don't cry your makeup.
Master Mo greeted guests outside, don't look at the people who have retreated, there are still countless people, the teacher marries his daughter, naturally there are many people to congratulate, Master Mo looks at the lively scene but is not happy at all, the baby he has held in his hand for so many years is about to be given to others, how can he be happy?
So the father and son all stiffened their faces, and they couldn't squeeze out a smile when they congratulated others, and some people immediately speculated that they must be worried that Nangong Shizi's merry son would treat his daughter slowly, and they all immediately sympathized with Master Mo.
"Crackling" A loud firecracker sounded outside the door, and the servant came in at a trot and shouted: "Master, my aunt is here to welcome my relatives."
The people in the house suddenly poured out to see the excitement, the groom official wants to take the bride away, it is necessary to break through, this excitement is not common, do not look at the white, no one will take it to heart to tease the prince today, that girl is arrogant on weekdays, many people look at this opportunity to prepare for revenge.
Inside the house, Dong Liang heard the movement, and the mood that was still sad suddenly disappeared, and he clenched his fists nervously, and finally came, take a deep breath, clench his fists, and the future life is my own, and no one can interfere
The women took out the red hijab in a panic and covered it, the young girls and daughters-in-law had already picked up the killing rod and were ready to go to war, Dong Liang sat on the bed and listened to their giggling movements, and when they were nervously clenching their fists, they suddenly felt that something was stuffed into their hands, cold and cold.
