Sixth marriage
Wanning was immersed in the grief of separating from her sister, and when Gao Ziang spoke, she didn't listen to a word. As he walked, tears slipped down from time to time, and he lowered his head and didn't speak along the way. The cold wind was blowing, adding a little pain to the separation of the two sisters.
Gao Ziang took off his coat and draped it over her. The three of them were silent all the way, except for Gao Zi who said in a low voice, "Sister Wan, don't cry." No one spoke.
Back at the Li Mansion, he entered through the gate of the mansion in a fair and honest manner. Seeing that Wan Ning entered the room safely, Gao Ziang planned to return to Gaofu. When leaving, he didn't forget to tell Xiao Feiyan: "Accompany Wanning more at night." ”
Wan Ning, who returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, her heart was very messy.
"Miss Wan." Xiao Feiyan called softly.
Wan Ning sat for a long time and said, "I want to go and see my sister's room again." ”
"Miss, the slave is with you."
Looking at my sister's empty room, tears flowed down again. For many years, months, and days, she was happy when she came to her sister's room. And at this moment, the room was empty all of a sudden, the heart was empty, and the old time became empty.
She couldn't help but hug Xiao Feiyan, who was standing next to her, with tears in her eyes.
She wanted to take a closer look at Wanying's room again, trying to get back her old memories. My sister didn't bring anything except the headdress she usually liked, three or two changes of clothes, and a few taels of silver.
Wan Ning suddenly remembered something, so she said to Xiao Feiyan: "According to the rules, on the day of her daughter's wedding, you can't move around at will. The door must be closed tomorrow morning, and I can't enter my sister's room and pretend to be her under the watchful eye of the maid and the guard. I'm going to stay in my sister's room tonight, and the groom will come and pick him up tomorrow morning, so that there won't be any suspicion. ”
She looked at Xiao Feiyan and said, "Yan'er, you go back to the room first." You're my personal servant, you can't be here. ”
"Yes, miss." Xiao Feiyan had just taken a few steps when she saw Wanying's personal maid Mozhu coming in.
Mo Zhu saw Wan Ning and looked surprised: "Second Miss? How could it be you? At this moment, it should be the eldest lady who is preparing to get married tomorrow! Why didn't I see her all night? Instead, you're here. ”
Wan Ning said to Xiao Feiyan: "Yan'er, you go back to the room first." ”
"Yes, miss." After Xiao Feiyan went out, she closed the door tightly.
Wan Ning instructed Mo Zhu: "I am the eldest lady you serve tonight, nothing has happened today, if you want to stay in this mansion, keep your mouth shut." Also, remember, it's my sister who will marry tomorrow. ”
Mo Zhu understood that it was the second lady who replaced the eldest lady, and he didn't ask anything, so he could only follow the master's orders.
"You're my sister's dowry?" Wan Ning asked.
"Second Miss Hui, yes. Otherwise, the slave and maid would not be close to serve at this moment. This is the last night in my mother's house, and when I get married, I will no longer be a maid in your house. ”
"Who else is there to marry?" Wan Ning thought for a while and said, "Forget it, no matter who it is, you don't need her to serve tonight, just ask her to follow the bride early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, miss."
After talking to Mo Zhu, Wan Ning fell into deep thought. No matter how reluctant she is to her sister, she has already left, and she is flying away with Brother Duan to find her own happiness.
It won't be long before my sister returns. She felt better when she thought so. The most important thing at the moment is to play tomorrow's drama well and deceive everyone. Brother Ziang successfully rescued himself again, and everything was fine.
Wan Ning looked at everything in the room, the rich dowry, the gorgeous wedding dress, as if she was really going to get married, and gradually gave birth to the daughter before the marriage. At this time, she missed her brother Ziang very much.
She wrote a few sentences and sent them to Gaofu in carrier pigeons.
The carrier pigeon landed precisely outside Gao Ziang's house. Yi'er took a look, isn't this the carrier pigeon that the young master put in the Li Mansion? It must have been Miss Wanning who sent the letter, and he quickly took off the letterhead from the pigeon and handed it to the young master.
Gao Ziang opened the letter and saw that it was written on the paper: Tightly entangled grievances, inextricably linked, are woven into my wedding dress tomorrow. Then he was smiling.
"Young Master, are you so happy?"
"It's Wanning's letter." He put the letter in front of Yi'er's eyes.
Yi'er took it, read it, and said with a smile: "Young master, this is called the heart of the daughter to be married." ”
"You mean Wan Ning really wants to marry me?"
"That's nature."
It was a beautiful night for Gao Ziang.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Wanning got up and dressed up. Mo Zhu dismissed all the maids on the grounds that this was the last time he served the eldest lady in the Li family, leaving her to serve alone.
Wearing a wedding dress, putting on makeup, and combing her hair were all carried out in an orderly manner, but after a while, she made a mistake again.
Wan Ning saw her strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
"Miss, on the day of her daughter's wedding, her elders will comb her hair. In this case, will we not show our filling? ”
Wan Ning thought for a moment and said, "You comb my hair first and cover it with a red hijab." After a while, my mother came over and combed her exposed hair. ”
"It seems that this is the only way to do it." Ink bamboo should be.
When everything was ready, I heard the voices of the maids and guards outside the house greeting the lord and the wife, and it was my father and mother coming. Wan Ning hurriedly put on the red hijab and sat obediently in front of the dresser.
Li Zhenghang came in and saw her and said, "Have you already dressed up?" ”
Mo Zhu replied, "Yes, master. The red hijab has been covered, and it must be lifted by the husband, and it will be unlucky for others to lift the hijab. ”
"The Zhu family will come to greet the relatives in a while and serve the good lady." Li Zhenghang commanded.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Yunzhi walked up to Wanning and said, "According to the rules, there are elders who comb the hair of the daughter who is about to get married." ”
Mo Zhu hurriedly said, "Madam, it's a slave who doesn't know how to be polite." I was so bent on serving the eldest lady that I forgot about this rule. ”
"Forget it, the big day, I don't care about you." As she spoke, Wang Yunzhi took the comb and slowly combed it on Wanning's hair several times. As Wan Ning said, this is probably "combing your hair".
Wan Ning stood up to show her respect for her elders. Wang Yunzhi put down the comb, held Wanning's hands in her palms and said, "My precious girl, I will get married today." ”
Wang Yunzhi felt that something was wrong when she held her hand, but she didn't care too much about it, and she didn't think about it so much.
Growing up with my sister since childhood, it is no problem to imitate her voice, and I replied briefly: "Father and mother take care." ”
After speaking, Li Zhenghang and his wife walked out of the house. It seems that my father and mother did not suspect it. At the same time, there was a lot of noise outside, and the matchmaker arrived first, followed by the welcoming procession. The sound of drums and music is endless.
According to the rules, after the groom "three invitations" and "four invitations" outside the boudoir, Mo Zhu walked out of the house with the young lady, and Li Zhenghang and his wife were already waiting in the courtyard.
Walking to the courtyard, Wan Ning turned around and said, "Father and mother, my daughter is gone." ”
At this moment, Wanning really felt as if she was marrying herself. In the middle of the courtyard, he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhenghang and his wife not far away, and Wang Yunzhi instantly burst into tears. Wan Ning stood for a while after getting up, and then continued to walk out with the help of the maid, and the maid who accompanied the marriage followed closely behind.
Out of the mansion, under the bombardment of the groom's various sweet words, Wan Ning sat in the sedan chair. After the Li family gave bounties to all the servants who came to greet them, beat gongs and drums, and played music, the sedan chair set off.
