Chapter 39: Great Joy
Wen Xiaomei got up early in the morning, and after bathing, she bought some chicken soup and thousands of silk noodles, changed into new clothes, and sat in front of the dresser, with several sisters gathered on the side, watching Wu Niang pan her head for her.
The fifth lady wore a peach-colored jacket today, charming but not demonic, and said softly while combing her hair: "The fifth girl's hair is black and bright, and the ends of her hair are rarely split ends, so she is the easiest to comb." "Alternating the ten fingers of both hands, he braided several small braids, pinched the ends of the braids with one hand, and coiled the braids high with the other, but finally only one hairpin was fixed.
The fifth lady swept the jewelry box on the table with her eyes, and finally took out a big red bead flower and pinned it to Wen Xiaomei's sideburns, and said: "What you want to marry is joy, this red is the best, and the pomegranate flower is blessed with many children." ”
Wen Xiaomei lowered her head in a sentence, but the fifth wife stretched out her hand to straighten her face, pulled out a cotton rope, and carefully twisted the hair on her face, and then took out the powder box, and was about to apply it, Wen Mei, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "The fifth sister is already very fair-skinned, so don't apply powder, just put on some rouge." ”
The fifth lady was stunned, saw Wen Xiaomei's face blushing, and chuckled: "The fifth girl has a thin skin, but this rouge is not needed, just apply some kodan juice to your lips." Putting down the compact, he picked up another vial, dipped it in it with a small brush similar to a brush, and clicked a little between Wen Xiaomei's upper and lower lips, which became the cherry mouth.
The small brush was soaked in clear water, dipped in a kind of blue and blue flower juice, and a small plum blossom was drawn in the middle of Wen Xiaomei's forehead.
Mrs. Xu came over, put on the phoenix crown for Wen Xiaomei with her own hands, looked at it and looked at it, there were tears in both of their eyes, Wen Zhu thought that this sister was only fifteen years old, and she couldn't help but feel sour, but urged: "It's better to put on the hijab quickly, don't miss the auspicious time." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the gongs and drums outside, but it was the Sun family who came to pick up the kiss.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly took the big red hijab from Wen Lan and put it on for Wen Xiaomei with her own hands.
After a while, there was a call for the door from outside the boudoir, and the twins stood in the door according to what their sisters had taught in advance, and said with a smile: "Listen to the Xi Po outside, don't call the door if you don't have money in your hands." ”
A red envelope was immediately slipped through the crack in the door, and the twins took it and opened it with a grin.
The reunion of the chief of the Xi Po is a blessed person who is specially selected from the relatives of the Sun family whose parents and in-laws are alive and whose children are complete. She smiled and said: "Today's magpie branch calls, the grandson of the son marries the bride, many sons and grandchildren are also blessed, and the lady and the lady are about to get on the sedan chair." ”
Mrs. Xu smiled and rewarded her with a red envelope, and the bride hugged the bride, surrounded by the Wen sisters, all the way to the gate of the Wen Mansion.
saw Sun Mubai's face was clear, his eyes were slightly narrowed, he was dressed in a red wedding robe, and he was standing next to the article in high spirits. Wen Zhu couldn't help but nodded, and said in his heart, this embroidered pillow is also worthy of my fifth sister.
Standing at the door of the Wen Mansion, Wen Xiaomei bowed inward, bowed goodbye to her ancestors, and bowed again, that is, to say goodbye to her parents.
The article was trapped in the middle by several ladies and wives, and Wen Ju whispered to Wen Zhu: "When the eldest sister got married, the wedding dress was torn by her father, and the second sister's marriage was even more excessive. Thinking about the usual style of the article, Wen Zhu nodded thoughtfully.
The last prayer is a thank you to the sisters.
After three bows, Xi Po helped Wen Xiaomei to the sedan chair, and Sun Mubai, who had been waiting by the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain for her.
At this time, the bride should cry a few times, Sun Mubai saw that the bride's shoulders were shaking non-stop, and two lines of tears fell under the hijab, but he couldn't hear the crying, and said in his heart, is he really a dumb person? In a good mood, he said very gently: "The lady should get on the sedan chair first." ”
After the bride got on the sedan chair, Sun Mubai rode on an extremely docile white horse, and kept wondering whether his lady was dumb or not.
Unknowingly, he had arrived at the door of Sun's mansion, Sun Mubai got off the horse, took the fan handed over by his subordinates, knocked on the top of the sedan chair three times, and kicked the sedan door three times with his foot to show his husband's power. The bride held up an umbrella and helped the bride get off the sedan chair, and Sun Mubai escorted her into the mansion.
When Master Sun saw that he had brought in twelve dowries, he couldn't help but stretch out his head and look back, and the chief steward of the Sun family on the side said cautiously: "Master, it's gone." ”
Master Sun was furious: "Master is here well, why is it gone." ”
The chief steward of the Sun family wiped his sweat and said softly: "The dowry of the Wen family is only twelve lifts, most of which are from the Wen family's daughter and second daughter, and Master Wen only has one lift. ”
Master Sun's face sank, he snorted, and said, "You go find a family with a loud voice and read out this dowry." ”
The chief steward of the Sun family had no choice but to respond, found a family member, called Sun Dazui, and stood at the door of Sun's mansion. At this time, there are people inside and outside the door of the Sun Mansion, and there are relatives of the Sun family inside the door, and there are people watching the excitement outside the door.
Sun Dazui opened his mouth, and he could hear it clearly inside and outside the door, only to hear him recite: "Two gold and silver bills, four silk and satin, two pairs of antique vases...... The things in front of it are also common in the rich and noble.
Master Sun's frowning brows opened slightly, and said, "The relationship between the sisters of the Wen family is really good, but it is not too shabby. The chief steward didn't dare to speak, and nodded again and again.
When the eleventh box was lifted, I saw that there was still a pine box in the box, the primary color of the wood, and it was even too lazy to brush the paint, and Master Sun's brows immediately wrinkled again.
took out the pine box, opened it, and there was an iron box inside, and everyone was curious at this time, staring at the family who opened the box, hoping that he would open the box quickly.
After opening the iron box, the family looked strange, and said in his heart, this Wen family slammed the door to the extreme, and actually accompanied a bunch of boxes.
Stretched out his hand to take it out, it was a pine box again, Master Sun was excited, waved his hand and was about to leave, but he heard Sun Dazui shouting: "There are two splendid boundless silk villages, one food is a tea house, and one gold shop is full ......of gold and jade."
Master Sun opened his mouth wide and turned around slowly, dancing with his hands, and said again and again: "Show it to me, quickly." ”
The family immediately handed over the pine box, only to see a bunch of real estate title deeds inside, Master Sun looked through them one by one, confirmed that it was true, and went crazy with joy, holding the box and going to the inner house, ******** thinking about quickly putting the box into the inner warehouse.
The people around have already talked about it, the Wen family actually accompanied the most prosperous half of the street in the capital, not to mention the boundless splendor, which one is not the day of food and the full hall of gold and jade?
In an uproar, Sun Dazui continued to read: "My emperor's jade pen is a pair of heaven-made banners. Hearing the sound of fluttering in his ears, Sun Dazui realized that he had just read something, and he collapsed immediately in fright.
Master Sun was the most embarrassed, and just crossed the middle door with one leg and fell to his knees, tripped and stumbled, and gnawed on the loess all over his face.
Struggling to kneel up, Master Sun held the box in one hand and took the lead in chanting: "Long live my emperor, long live." ”
