Three days later.

Jinzhou in late autumn and early winter is a bit poetic, and the leaves on the mountain are still still red, like clusters of flames under the sunset.

The haze of the past few days has made many people in Jinzhou think that it has entered winter and began to prepare for the winter of Tuncai and grain, but after waiting for two days and not seeing the expected first snow, this day is looking forward to a good day.

The children of the poor families were full of thoughts, and they went to the mountains to pick up red leaves, cleaned them, and then strung them into a bunch to sell on the street.

The matter of the eldest daughter of the second room of the public loser Yinxue getting married today has already spread in Jinzhou, and their hearts are also happy, but it is not because of how deep their feelings are for the public loser, but they just feel that on such days, the flowers and leaves they have worked hard to pick will definitely be able to sell more.

In Jinzhou City, some people have seen the future aunt of Gongyi Yinxue, but some people don't even have a glimpse, these days have already been sketched by those people in the teahouse restaurant with rich imagination of various versions of the appearance, some people say that he is tall and mighty, some people say that he is elegant and peaceful, some people say that he has a peach blossom face with a little femininity, you say a word to me, the tavern is full of happy air for a while.

It's just that what they don't know is that the mysterious aunt they mentioned is in the August Listening Cicada Pavilion of the public loser's mansion at this time, sitting on a chair like a fool and looking sad.

Because at this moment, several old grandmothers of the public losers were holding all kinds of makeup powders to paint on his face, and at the same time, they were also arguing about whether the gouache from Lanxiangfang or the rouge from Rosewood Shop was more suitable for Qin Ke's complexion.

Before the wedding, Qin Ke never thought that he would have to endure such suffering.

According to the grandmothers, dressing up is a kind of "etiquette", after all, whether the Mo family is Confucianism or Legalism or even the Mo family, they still uphold the etiquette of the previous dynasty, and even many Confucians have put forward the saying of "recovering the gift of the king and raising the purity of the people", although the Mo family giants did not agree in the end, but among the wealthy families, a wave of worship has also been set off, and many red tape that has been full of dust has been re-cleaned and placed in the sun again.

Qin Ke was born in a common people's family, although he has seen a few scenes of getting married, but after all, the ordinary people's family is far from a wealthy family like a public loser, so there is no reference, I just think that rubbing rouge and gouache is the tone that girls like, he is a man, not to mention as burly as Abu, but this woman smearing powder on her face is really a little difficult for him to accept.

It's just that he can't resist these old ladies who have been in the public loser for a lot of years, so he can only be at their mercy.

Inside the black dress, there were three layers of inner lining with different names, jade pendants and flower spikes swayed on his body, and even jingled in the collision, which made Qin Ke wonder if he had broken away from the category of people and completely turned into a large mobile wind chime.

After another half an hour, Qin Ke put on his clothes one by one amid the various chattering sounds of the grandmothers, even though it was now winter, Qin Ke's forehead inevitably had some fine beads of sweat, and Fluttershy hurriedly held a towel to help him wipe the sweat beads, and at the same time beckoned the grandmothers to make up some more clothes.

Qin Ke looked at Fluttershy and thought to himself, didn't you see that I was so embarrassed now?

Fluttershy saw Qin Ke's resentment, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Uncle, you have to be patient, there are still many things to do today, I know that you are not informal, but today is the day of the wedding, and there is a lot of trouble." ”

The old lady on the side said dissatisfiedly: "What is trouble? This is the face of our public loser, if my uncle loses the courtesy, but our public loser loses the courtesy." ”

It's just that this is the reason why you pulled me up before dawn? Qin Ke thought so in his heart, he still didn't say anything in the end, so as not to provoke these words to be like opening the floodgates to "attack him in groups".

Qin Ke looked at Fluttershy and asked in a low voice, "Where is Yinxue now?"

Fluttershy looked at Qin Ke, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Uncle, Miss Miss? Miss is estimated to be in the old mansion at this time, let people wait for dressing, the girl's family will be more troublesome than the uncle, uncle, you are quite relaxed. ”

"Oh......" Of course, Qin Ke didn't want to lose Yinxue, he just asked casually, but when Fluttershy said this, he still felt a little sympathy, and it was more troublesome than himself?

However, he still caught a little bit of information, and asked suspiciously: "You said the old mansion ......?"

Fluttershy nodded slightly, "yes." Old mansions. The ancestors of the public loser in Jinzhou's earliest industry, and later the public loser Feng Hou worshiped the prime minister, went to Jishang, this old mansion is not lived, generally only come back after the end of the year, worship the ancestral hall. We have a new house here, which is an industry that was purchased after the public loser returned to Jinzhou, and it has only been a few years since it was built, and the ancestral hall has also moved over. ”

"But. Fluttershy looked at Qin Ke's coiled hair and tried to match the color of the jade crown on his head, "If there is a marriage, the loser's daughter's family will stay in the old mansion for the night and then welcome them out of the old mansion." This rule seems to have been set by the grandfather at the beginning, what is required is that the loser should not forget his roots, he must remember where his roots are, and it is also a warning to the girl of the loser, if she is married, she will remember in the future that the loser is their backer, if you are not doing well in the husband's house, you can go back to the old house to live, and the family members of the loser will stand up for them. ”

"Hmm. Qin Ke nodded, thinking that the deceased grandfather was a caring person, he had heard the stories of those talented and beautiful women told by Mr. Storyteller, and there were also some women who had a hard time in their husband's house, and they washed their faces with tears every day.

"In a while, uncle, you still have to ride a horse to pick up the young lady. Fluttershy smiled and deliberately asked, "Grandpa can ride a horse, right?"

Qin Ke suddenly felt a headache, although he did not reject horseback riding, and even felt that riding a horse was a very enjoyable thing, the feeling of galloping horses, the strong wind blowing, the sky was high and the bottom was wide, as if there was no restriction on going anywhere, and a sense of happiness arose.

But today is different, today's self is like a rice dumpling with three layers inside and three layers outside, where is this horseback riding attire?

I'm afraid that he will get on the horse, and he will make a clanging sound when he bumps on it. He covered his face, and suddenly thought that his face was still covered with powder, and he was even more desperate, just like this, he still had to go out to meet people, and ride a horse to wander the streets, wouldn't it be the same as a prisoner crossing the street?

"Can I sit in a sedan chair...... Qin Ke said with a bitter face: "I just want to find a place to hide now, and it's best to see no one......"

The mama in the room bursts out with an ugly laugh, and Fluttershy laughs in a low voice.

Dressed up, Qin Ke took a picture in front of the bronze mirror, and finally went out with the same mood as going to the grave in the urging of the grandmothers, Chu Gou outside the door had already waited for a long time, and when he saw Qin Ke walking out, he just wanted to come forward to talk, and first covered his mouth.

"Puff ha...... Chu Gou's laughter still couldn't stop leaking out between his fingers, until he began to put down his hand and cover his stomach, like a twitching monkey, "Master, your body is like a pig that is about to be pulled out for slaughter ...... that is tightly tied."

Qin Ke kicked him angrily, just under his crotch, Chu Gou's voice suddenly turned into a rooster crowing "Oh oh", jumping up and down.

"You just tied up the pig tightly!" Qin Ke said with a glare.

It wasn't until a while later that Chu Gou endured the pain and laughter, and walked in front of Qin Ke step by step, his eyes vigilant, for fear that Qin Ke would kick him again: "Master, are you planning to ride a horse like this?"

Qin Ke glanced at the jingling ornaments on his body, and covered his forehead: "Don't talk to me, I want to ...... quietly"

"Shouldn't you miss your master......

"Do you want to be kicked by me again, huh?"

“......”

After the fight, Qin Ke finally walked out of the house of the public loser surrounded by a group of domestic slaves, and there were some clan elders of the public loser standing at the door, with a smile of relief on their faces, and the public loser was standing in it, looking Qin Ke up and down, and then sneered: "It's too late to regret it now, with your martial arts qualifications, you shouldn't have wasted yourself like this." ”

I really regret it, but it's not because of the absurd reason that I can't practice Tongzigong. Qin Ke rolled his eyes, held the reins, turned over on his horse, and then looked at Chu Gou: "My sword ......"

"Don't worry, I'll take it. Chu Gou couldn't help but stroke the hilt of the Bodhisattva Sword, which made Qin Ke's eyes jump, his own sword was always unpleasant to be played with by others.

He glanced at Chu Gou, and then an elder shouted: "Play music!"

A whole team of relatives set off majestically and headed towards the old house of the public loser.

Along the way, both sides of the road were full of curious pedestrians who came to watch the ceremony, and the band was even more hardworking, as if they wanted to blow a hole in the day before they stopped.

The gongs and drums shook Qin Ke's heart thumping, and he looked up at the people on both sides, but he didn't know how to feel a little lonely in his heart.

This is a fake marriage, Gongyi Yinxue and him know each other very well in their hearts, and when he really rode a horse to the old house of Gongyi's family and picked her up in a sedan chair, Gongyi Yinxue will be his wife nominally in the future.

And what about himself? Qin Ke didn't know what kind of mood he should be in to face this grand farce.

"Cai Yan......" Qin Ke suddenly saw a figure flickering twice in the crowd, and he almost blurted out, but soon, the figure disappeared into the crowd, as if it had never appeared from the beginning.

The old house of the public loser.

"Yinxue, how is the makeup?" came from outside the door, Gong Yinxue sat in front of the dresser, two maids were combing her long black hair at the same time, and one grandmother was plugging and pulling out the jewelry hairpin in the box, and she was sure to pick the most suitable one.

"Uncle...... Come in, it's pretty much there. Gong Yinxue said softly.

Gong Yiren, who was supported by the Zhao family, shook his head outside the door and said softly: "I won't go in, I'm a man, it's not convenient, let your aunt see it later." The greeting team has arrived at the door, so hurry up and prepare. ”

Naturally, it is to be ready to accept her life's events, to accept everything she has already decided. Gong Yinxue lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The corners of her eyes were smeared with rouge, which made her look particularly charming, but she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, but she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. To say that all this is what he has already chosen, to marry Qin Ke, to forever brand himself as a public loser, to seize power, and to fight for everything she wants.

But in the final analysis, she is still a girl's family, which girl's family will not pay attention to her life's events?

This front foot stepped out of the door of the old house, and the back foot started, she had to guard the three from the four virtues, and guard this public loser, until she was old and her younger brother grew up, and she could really take over the burden on her, so that she could "retire successfully".

It's just that isn't it a little too big to pay such a price for that position?
