Chapter 5

The fainting in Wen Shuse's mind has not completely subsided, but his heart is open, and he understands that there is no turning back from the arrow with the bow, and he must not waste his efforts in vain, and he cheers up, according to his aunt's instructions, the fan in his hand is tightly pressed against his face, and he does not know that his aunt and maid have been gagged, and the groom opposite is also the same as himself, a different person.

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two worship the high hall."

"Husband and wife worship each other."

"Rite into ......"

At the end of the three worships, Wen Shuse did not have the tension of the bride, only the relief after the incident, and he had already worshipped the hall, even if the eldest prince wanted to regret it, it was useless.

The burden on his body was instantly loosened, and he heard Xiangyun say that the eldest son was good-looking, but everyone's view of beauty is different, in case it happens that he can't appreciate it......

As soon as his mind moved, the fan in his hand subconsciously moved away.

Before she could see clearly, several servant women next to her suddenly rushed up, grabbed her arm, as if they were afraid that she would be seen, turned around with her, and hurried to the backyard.

The front hall and the backyard of Xie Mansion are separated by a hanging flower door, the same vermilion lacquer door panel, different from the general gate style of the gate, there are vertical pillar decorations, the eaves in front of the door are hung on both sides under the eaves, and the column head part is carved out of the painted petals, which are colorful and gorgeous, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. The bride also walks through the hall covered with red silk, and on the corridor on both sides, there are many women who watch the excitement.

The noisy voice of speech was in her ears, and Wen Shuse didn't dare to look at it anymore, staring down at the ground under her feet, once upon a time, she was one of them.

When the Ming family next door married the bride, she went, and she was very sad because she couldn't see the bride's face.

secretly decided to wait for himself to become a bride, and he must show half of his face from under the fan, so that everyone screamed and made a sensation.

It's a pity that it's not as good as people want......

If she takes down the fan today, let alone the excitement, I am afraid that she will end up with a scene where thousands of mountains and birds fly away and the birds are silent.

I lived frankly for seventeen years, and for the first time I did something wrong, my heart was beating "thump", and I really tasted the unpleasant taste.

The voice in his ears was inexplicably noisy, his steps accelerated, and he didn't count how many thresholds he had crossed, and the fainting in his head gradually faded, and he became more and more sober.

The mama who led the way finally did not cross the door again, and led her to turn a corner on the left-hand side and go up to the verandah.

"Grandma, watch your step."

The surroundings are quiet, Wen Shuse slightly deviates his head, under the left side of the corridor, there is a green tile and white wall, the top of the wall is built out of a small window with a spiritual pattern, connected in rows, you can see the green plantain inside, the person just approached, the plantain bush suddenly moved, flew out a few colorful birds, and the crisp birdsong was endless.

As you enter the yard from the side, the sound of birdsong becomes clearer.

The eldest prince likes to raise birds?

Wen Shuse suddenly recalled that when several people came to see Ming Wanrou that day, Xie Sangongzi was still carrying a bird cage in his hand.

Afterward...... The birdcage seems to have been lost, and the bird has flown away.

Wen Shuse pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips that wanted to be upturned.

Life in the world, timely and happy, this is her consistent style of doing things. Look, in such a tense situation, she can still be happy.

He crossed the river by himself, and watched other people's jokes in a leisurely and elegant manner, hurriedly closed his eyes and threw the unlucky person out of his head, and paid attention to the grass and trees around him.

But this yard is really beyond her imagination, the bread courtyard in the courtyard, all the way through, pavilions, pavilions, flower ponds and water pavilions, everything, a lively garden.

After coming out of a green rockery, Wen Shuse was completely unable to find the direction.

After seven turns and eight turns, Mama's footsteps stopped in front of a door with a three-cross ball pattern rhombus, and she didn't go any further, but turned around to help her, "Grandma beware of the threshold." ”

Wen Shuse raised his step, and the fan moved down slightly by half an inch.

Entering the door is a dark lacquered short-legged head case, with ink inkstones and a few folded hanging paintings, only a piece of bamboo futon is placed on the right seat. There is a row of diamond-shaped carved mullioned windows behind him, the diamond-shaped flower hole in the middle occupies most of it, and several sets of roller blinds on it are closed, and a large piece of light shines in, sprinkled on another desk under the window, and a tea set is placed on the desk.

At first glance, you can see that it is a house of readers......

"Third master, third master, the little one is late...... a voice suddenly came out of his ears, Wen Shuse turned his head in shock, and almost collided with the bird cage in front of him.

It's a starling full of flowers.

Wen Shuse stared at the bird for a moment, and before he could come back to his senses, the servant woman beside him explained in a panic, "Don't you know that the eldest prince and grandma are married today, the third prince specially sent someone to send this bird over, and it was lively." ”

Wen Shuse didn't like birds very much, especially the chirping birds, his eyes turned away with a little disgust, made a false alarm, and continued to hold the fan again.

Who knew that the starling was a secret-talker, "Third master, third master......"

"Shut up, brute." The servant woman pinched a handful of cold sweat, eager to pry its two sharp mouths, and hurriedly walked into the back room with Wen Shuse.

The partition between the inner room and the outer room is a mullioned door, and then covered with a curtain and a beaded curtain, the door is open twice, and the curtain is also closed by a golden hook, leaving only a pair of vermilion beaded curtains, which are whisked up by the two maids inside, respectfully waiting for the bride to pass. Drill through the bead curtain, face a pair of mandarin duck blue yarn sitting on the ground screen, after going around, only to see a carved beam bed, hanging happy red tent, the bed like red mandarin duck cloud brocade quilt, the red mattress is covered with a pile of dried fruits of longan, peanuts and red dates.

The servant woman helped Wen Shuse to sit on the happy bed, "If grandma is tired, put down the fan first, drink some drinks and eat something to fill your stomach." ”

Da Yu has been stable for more than 20 years, and the national style has gradually been liberalized, and the girl is not as harsh as before, and there is no rule that the bride cannot eat on the day of marriage.

From picking up relatives in the morning to entering the door, looking fast, in fact, most of the day has passed.

Wen Shuse didn't mean to put down the fan, and sat there steadily, carefully looking for Aunt Qing and Qiu Ying.

"Grandma?"

"I'm not hungry." I looked around and didn't see anyone, but I didn't even hear a sound, so I had to ask, "Have you seen my aunt and maid coming with me?" ”

The servant woman smiled, "Grandma rest assured, the old lady has specially instructed the slaves and maids to entertain the Wen family, Aunt Qing and Qiu Ying Niang, the slaves and maids have all been arranged, and they are resting in the backyard," and the shrimp waist said, "The slave and maid are surnamed Fang, what does grandma command, go directly to the slave and maid." ”

Wen Shuse was stunned.

Resting with food?

This is a critical juncture......

Seeing her suspicions, Mama Fang took a step closer to her and said in a low voice, "Grandma entered the door, from now on she will be a member of my Xie family, and the slave maid may as well tell grandma that the Xie family has an unwritten rule, the first night the bride enters the door, the person who waits in the house must be the servant of the husband's family......"

Wen Shuse was stunned, could there still be such rules?

"Grandma, put the fan down......"

Wen Shuse hurriedly leaned back, avoiding Mama Fang's gaze, "I'm not tired." "I still have doubts in my heart, Aunt Qing is more nervous than her along the way, can she be relieved to leave her alone?

At this time, Aunt Qing and Qiu Ying were indeed arranged 'properly', and the table was full of good wine and meat, but the door was locked.

The group of robbers, couldn't help but say, after pulling the two out, they went directly to this place, and said politely, "The aunt and the lady will rest here first, and the grandmother won't have to bother." ”

I don't know which place this is, it must be a remote and uninhabited corner, Aunt Qing's voice is hoarse, and no one pays attention.

Qiu Ying was still shaking the door panel, "Is there anyone, someone is coming?" Tired of shaking, I looked back at Aunt Qing who was looking at the vegetables, the corners of my mouth pursed, and I was so anxious that I was about to cry, "Auntie, what should we do, I'm afraid that the second lady and the third son have already finished worshipping, and the second lady doesn't know yet......"

It's okay not to remind it, as soon as she said it, Aunt Qing's heart became angry again, "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and his Xie family is also a famous family, look at the lack of virtue they have done......

Qiu Ying didn't dare to talk, and she was not a good and honest person, so Aunt Tongqing proposed, "Or let's just tell them that it's the second lady who comes......"

confessed first and rescued the second lady.

"Nope." Aunt Qing vetoed it, she had already thought about it, the Xie family could come up with a bad trick to steal the beam and change the pillar, and it must be the good name of the eldest lady.

If you know in advance that it is the second lady who came, maybe you will turn your face on the spot, and it is possible to carry the second lady back as it is, and then think of a way to put the fault on the head of the Wen family. At that time, let alone marrying the third son, just take the reputation of the second lady who was married and retired, I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of Zhongzhou Fengcheng and even the whole Da Yu, not to mention that they can't marry in this life, and the Wen family can't raise their heads.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that it seemed that I could only eat Coptis dumbly, so I swallowed it first.

"Poor second lady, as soon as I took the fan, I saw that the groom and the official had changed, and I didn't know if it would ......" Aunt Qing woke up, the temper of the second lady is not an ordinary person.

No, she had to go and persuade and appease first.

Aunt Qing got up again and shook the door with Qiu Ying, "Someone." "But the iron lock is locked tightly, and it doesn't move at all.

A maid hiding outside the window sash on the back wall was already dumbfounded, and the look of surprise on her face seemed to have glimpsed a big secret, blocked her voice, and hurried to the house of the eldest lady Wu with her skirt.

Wu was suffering from a toothache, and no one was happy, and the people in the room didn't dare to speak with their heads buried in their heads, but the sound of the suona gong outside couldn't be closed, and it still got into their ears.

Just as she was upset, the maid barged in, "Madame." ”

Wu Shi was angry, "Panicked, unorthodox, what about reincarnation?" ”

The maid took two steps back, but she couldn't control her mouth, she raised her head and her eyes were blazing, "Madam, the slave has discovered something terrible. ”

Wu covered half of his face with his hands and squinted at her.

The maid hurriedly approached, leaned into her ear, and muttered in a low voice, Wu's pupils were shocked, and turned his head to stare at the maid, "Can you hear clearly?" ”

The maid bent down, "The slave and maid can hear clearly, the aunt and maid of the Wen family are still locked up in the side room in the west courtyard." ”

Wu couldn't believe that there was such a timely retribution, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and the look on his face slowly calmed down after a long time, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's not the eldest lady of the Wen family, it's the second lady.

This is really retribution.

Last night, the eccentric old lady pretended to be dead, called everyone to her, and began to explain the 'aftermath', and forcibly took away the marriage of the eldest prince to the third prince.

After living for so many years, it was the first time she had seen such an unreasonable ancestor.

The Wen family's big house is now a Beijing official, Siping's Ministry of Works, if Chengji marries Mrs. Wen and goes to the Eastern Capital in the future, with the care of his father-in-law, he will not be able to stand?

What can I do, the 'aftermath' has been explained, can the children and grandchildren not listen?

Smashed his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach, and he was so angry that he had a toothache, but fortunately, the sky has long eyes, and people are not as good as the sky, who would have expected that the Wen family would also change people.

It's hilarious.

The retribution came too quickly, and the spiritual leader of the Wu clan came out in an instant, and asked a servant woman in front of him, "Where is the groom and official, are you back in the backyard?" ”

The servant woman hurriedly went out to investigate, and soon came back to report, "The third prince was pulled back from the wine table and has just entered the courtyard. ”

Wu glanced at the black and numb sky outside, forgot about the toothache, got up and beckoned to the servants and maids around him, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go, let's go and see." ”
