Chapter 1 Marriage
When she regained consciousness, Qi Miao's ears were filled with festive blowing and beating, and her body was shaking and shaking. The eyes were bright red, the forehead was in sharp pain, and when he raised his hand to touch the obscuration in front of him, he saw the narrow space in the red sedan chair.
Qi Miao was stunned.
Dreaming, must be dreaming!
Close her eyes, and maybe she will wake up in the comfort of Simmons after a little more sleep. But the sharp pain in her forehead made her frown, if it was a dream, how could the pain be so real?
Who the hell played such a tasteless joke with her?
"Stop!" Qi Miao was angry and patted the sedan chair hard.
An impatient crisp female voice came from outside: "Girl, save some trouble! The maid followed you to the Anluhou Mansion, but you are also trying to live a good life, you have played the big drama of hitting the wall, and the husband's family will not know? Who is the Anluhou? Even the general has to pay tribute to three points, if you do this again, if you are returned to the Madame carefully and uncover your skin!"
Qi Miao's heart was half cold, this person spoke with words and chewed words, it was not the way she was used to speaking at all!
Lifting the sedan curtain, Qi Miao was stunned by the sight. The bluestone pavement, the pink and white walls, the eaves are high and the antique buildings are pecked, and the old and young men and women dressed in ancient costumes on both sides look lively. Xu was dumbfounded when he saw her looking out.
The mother-in-law with the sedan chair wore red and green, held her hair, and obliquely inserted a red double-petaled silk flower, and saw that the bride had taken off her hijab and dared to look out, and said hurriedly: "My little ancestor, sit down quickly, where is the hijab?"
Before he finished speaking, the sedan curtain had been forcibly covered.
Qi Miao's hands and feet were cold, and her heartbeat was like a drum in the sedan chair. Raised his hand and touched his forehead, the wound was swollen with a big bag, it hurt so much, I didn't have to pinch myself to understand that I wasn't dreaming now.
She, worn??
All the way is muddy, and countless ways to run are sketched in my mind, but they are all denied by reason, and it is taboo to flee indiscriminately when the situation is unknown, and the unknown future is safer than "marrying".
When I arrived at the Anluhou Mansion, I had a happy lady to follow the reminder, step on the red carpet across the brazier all the way through the great gift of worshipping heaven and earth, and wait to enter the cave room and sit on the happy bed, this goods are nervous.
Wouldn't it, the newcomer is going to be in a confused cave room? An Luhou in the mouth of the maidservant just now is her husband?
Thinking like this, Qi Miao's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, and the fear of the unknown future forced him to break out in a cold sweat.
She didn't know much about the ancient rules of marriage, but she also knew that she had to drink wine in the cave room, so why was it so quiet? Or was her perception wrong?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a mixed footsteps around him, and the door squeaked, and the room was silent, and there seemed to be only one person left. The man stood in front of him, Qi Miao lowered his head, and could see the big red robe and soap boots through the gap in the red hijab.
Qi Miao began to clench her small fists nervously.
The red hijab was provoked, and a delicate and handsome face appeared in front of him, the man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he seemed a little surprised to see her, and squinted at her for a long time.
She really didn't know how the ancient bride usually reacted to such a situation, so she had to smile at him, hesitating whether to call him "Xianggong" or "husband".
Who knew that he put down the weighing rod that bound the red silk, took two steps back and saluted respectfully: "Sister-in-law." ”
Sister-in-law?!Qi Miao is confused.
"Sister-in-law is fine, I am at home for three, the scientific name is Xi Dusk, the word Zimo, the second brother is seriously ill, and he can only worship heaven and earth by his younger brother, it is really helpless, if there is any offense, please forgive my sister-in-law. ”
Qi Miao finally understood a little, and while thinking, she said slowly: "It's okay, your second brother...... What is it like now?"
Her voice was delicate and tactful, and she spoke slowly because she needed to think about the way ancient people spoke, and it sounded slow and logical, like a clear spring flowing in her heart, which made people listen comfortably.
Bai Xiwan was stunned again, looked at Qi Miao and blinked before saying, "I'm afraid the second brother is not very good." Then he hurriedly added as if he was afraid of Qi Miaoduo's thoughts: "But sister-in-law, don't worry, the second brother is the eldest son of his father, and he will inherit the title in the future. After finishing speaking, looking at Qi Miao's eyes, the pity was even worse.
Qi Miao automatically made up for the current situation.
Her husband is the eldest son, line two, there must be either an eldest sister or a concubine uncle. If it is the latter, her father-in-law Lu Hou is afraid that he is unruly.
Her husband has been ill for many years, and he has survived until now, and he is still "not very good" at this time, and the little uncle looked at her with this kind of "you are so pitiful" eyes, combined with the attitude of the maid in the sedan chair just now towards her, her big wedding should be called Chongxi, right?
Qi Miao almost cried.
Which immortal did she offend and want to leave her in this ghost place! The dynasty is unknown, the family background is unknown, and everything is unknown in the future, which is too terrifying......
Qi Miao's appearance looked in Bai Xidu's eyes, and she felt more and more that the beauty was weak and pitiful. It is rumored that the daughters of General Qi are like flowers, especially the three girls who look better than Xizi, and they are really not deceitful. It's just that it's pitiful to see that he is so thin, and the second brother is also unlucky to miss such a beautiful woman.
Bai Xiwan sighed, and her voice was gentle: "Sister-in-law, rest, I'll leave first." ”
Qi Miaomu nodded.
When she was the only one left in the room, Qi Miaocai collapsed on the stepping bed as if she had been pulled a bone, and the big red brocade was dazzling as if she was laughing at her hard work, tilting her head, the heavy phoenix crown fell on the bed, and her neck was finally relaxed.
I touched the big bag on my forehead, and it seemed to be more swollen.
Fang got up and was about to go to the dressing table to look in the mirror to see the injury, the carved wooden door creaked open, and a maid in a pink silk jacket came in with a brass basin, threw the copper basin on the wooden basin stand, and wet the handkerchief to him.
"Then, hurry up and apply a cold handkerchief to your forehead, the house is now busy with the illness of the prince and has no time to take care of you. Hey! It's the same girl from the Qi family, how can you be so willful! If the second girl wouldn't make such a fuss, she would have to bring us tired. ”
As a maid, I don't know the rules too much!
Qi Miao gracefully took the handkerchief and casually threw it on the handmaid's face: "Second girl, why don't you marry!"
The maid bluffed, and the veil slipped from her face to her chest, revealing her water-stained and stunned face.
What kind of medicine did the three girls take wrong, and they dared to start a fire on her?!
"The girl has such a big temper, aren't you afraid that the maid will go back and tell Madame?!"
"Then you also have the life to go back and talk back, right?" Qi Miao was angry, and he was unconsciously able to speak freely, and the way of language seemed to have inherited the consciousness of the original owner, so he naturally didn't have to think about it anymore.
The maid didn't dare to say more after all, she was a subordinate after all, and this son was not in the Qi family, so she only gritted her teeth and wrote it down.
Qi Miao sat down in front of the dressing table, the person in the bronze mirror had a delicate melon seed face, condensed red lips, watery eyebrows, and a frowning eyebrow. Looking at the unfamiliar soft face, she had a strong sense of weirdness, and the hairs on her back stood up.
It's definitely not a blessing to be like this.
If the prince kicks her legs, what should she do if she is a widow? If she leaves the Hou Mansion to beg for a living, it is easy to act if she looks ordinary, but now she will be abducted to the Hualou Chu Pavilion if she doesn't go out like this.
Qi Miao was depressed and wanted to scratch her head.
"Meilan, where is Mrs. Shizi!" said an old woman's voice in the courtyard.
"Mrs. Shiko is in the house. The man who replied was respectful.
"Mrs. Hui Shizi, the old lady and Mrs. please go. ”
This is probably the weirdest wedding: the uncle marries on his behalf, the bride changes the "content", and now the groom is missing, but the bride is invited to leave the new house.
Qi Miao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. sat on the embroidery pier and ordered the maid to take care of her makeup.
The old lady's sentence "Mrs. Shizi" made the maid find a new position for her master, and her attitude was a little respectful, and she tidied up Qi Miao with her hands and feet.
Qi Miao looked in the mirror again, picked out a strand of long hair and wiped it with jasmine head oil and went around her forehead, twisted it and pinned it into the bun with a flower hairpin, which just covered the redness and swelling of her forehead, and also made her snow face extremely delicate.
She sighed.
"Girl, which one do you want to wear?" the maidservant brought a few clothes.
Qi Miao didn't look at it, and walked outside while reprimanding: "The prince is sick now, and the old lady and his wife are in a hurry to invite, where can they still have the kung fu to change clothes?"
As soon as I pushed the door, I walked opposite the stout grandmother who was about fifty years old.
Mother Yao listened to Qi Miao's reprimand for the maid who accompanied the room, and saw that she was still wearing a red wedding dress, and only her hair was slightly tidied up before she came quickly, and secretly said that Mrs. Shizi was a sensible person, so she led her to the upper courtyard.
Along the way, Qi Miao found out the identities of several people around him without a trace.
The mother-in-law who asked just now was Yao's mother, the right-hand man next to Lao Taijun. The two maidservants, Meilan and Meishan, are the maidservants in the prince's house, and as for the one who is extremely disrespectful to her, her name is Biqing, and Biyuan is her companion.
The fact that her own companion room can be so disrespectful to her shows that the environment of her mother's family is not optimistic.
The plaque of "Splendid Garden" hangs high on the lintel of the upper courtyard, the front yard is deserted, and people gather in the backyard. The maids and maids looked flustered, busy going in and out. I don't know who said: "Mrs. Shizi has arrived." The bead curtain was hit to the side by the little girl, and all the servants and maids saluted: "Wanfu to Mrs. Shizi." ”
Qi Miao was apprehensive, nodded calmly and entered the master bedroom. As soon as I entered the door, I almost choked on the strong smell of medicine. Bypassing the carved magpie on the rosewood seat, I saw a young man with a thin face and closed eyes lying on the bed in the inner room. His face was brownish, his cheeks were sunken, his breathing was rapid, and he clearly showed that he had more air out and less air in, as if he would kick his legs back to the west anytime and anywhere.
Three women sat around the bed, the older one was about his early sixties, he was very rich, his face was calm, he couldn't see much sorrow, and he steadily reminded Qi Miao of the Buddha statue in the temple.
Seeing Qi Miao coming in, the old lady said, "Brother Zhao's daughter-in-law, go and have a look." I can't tell you that you can get better with just one look at him. ”
