As soon as the guests arrived, the guards of the Li Mansion closed the door with the gilded red paper cut out of the characters, and several pairs of soldiers surrounded the Li Mansion to ensure safety. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a banquet in the main courtyard of the house, and the guests sat down one after another, eating tea and fresh fruits with each other, drinking tea before the meal, and the sound of conversation and laughter rang out everywhere.

In the backyard of the Li Mansion, there are maids and servants who are constantly coming in and out of a room, and all the family members of the Li Mansion have changed into wedding clothes today, which looks festive, but just looking at that side, they don't find that these subordinates are half happy.

In the curtain, a bride in a gorgeous phoenix robe sits in front of a bronze mirror, but the mirror has many dents, making it difficult to see the appearance in the mirror.

On the dragon and phoenix woven cloth carpet behind the bride, a lot of jewelry fat powder was sprinkled on the ground, and there were a few trembling maids standing outside the curtains, knowing that the ground in front of them was a mess at this time, but they didn't dare to go in to clean it up at all. The men who came in and out were busy cleaning up the areas except for the ones that had been left in shambles.

The bridal dressing room, which was supposed to be festive, was in a gloomy mood at this time.

"Ma'am. The maids who came in and out saw a woman in make-up walking with the support of others, and they all bowed in a low voice, not daring to disturb the bride inside.

"Okay, let's clean up later, you all go out first, I'll have a few words with Yun'er. Mrs. Li walked into the room with Xiao Cui's support, looking at the mess on the ground and the busy people, she could only sigh softly.

"Yes. Everyone softly agreed, and they all withdrew, leaving only Mrs. Li and Xiaocui in the room.

The sound of the curtain rubbing sounded softly, Mrs. Li walked into the satom, gently pushed away Xiaocui's support, half-squatted down to pick up good or bad objects on the ground, and hugged a full embrace, then walked to the edge of the dressing table and sat down next to Li Yun'er, but the latter did not look at her half-eyed, just looked at the blurred bronze mirror in front of her indifferently, and said nothing.

"Today is your big day, it's not good to smash these things, but it's time to spoil the atmosphere and mood. ”

Mrs. Li whispered as she put the things in her arms back on the dresser in front of Li Yun'er one by one.

"You see, the outer box of this box of rouge is broken, but it doesn't matter, I also think that the color of this fat powder is too bright, and it is not suitable for my family Yun'er's temperament. ”

Mrs. Li continued as she put it away.

"Look at this necklace, didn't you ask your father for half a month last time before agreeing to buy it for you? At that time, you also promised not to be petty in the future, hmph, I see, you just bluffed your father at that time, and then forgot everything. ”

Mrs. Li seemed to remember the situation at that time, and said half funny and half disgusted.

"Why do you still have this lipstick, last time you had to purse your lips and go out to play, and it was laughed at vigorously, didn't you say you don't have to throw it away again, I didn't expect you to throw it away. ”

From beginning to end, Mrs. Li has been talking in Li Yun'er's ear alone, but the latter has not spoken, and has not paid attention to what Mrs. Li said, Mrs. Li put the things she was holding in her hand on the dresser one by one, and every time she saw something familiar, she took it in her hand and said two words, and her expression was sometimes angry and sometimes funny.

Finally, there was only one last thing left in her hand, which was a small box made of sandalwood, and the surface was engraved with real gold with the pattern of the phoenix flying and the white bird pilgrimage.

Mrs. Li took the small box and stroked the body of the box, opened it gently, and the flannel in the box held a piece of jewelry and took it out, even Xiao Cui, who was standing behind, saw it with a burst of love and envy in her heart.

It is a hairpin, the hairpin body is meticulously carved with the pattern of a hundred flowers, and on the hairpin, it is a small phoenix that has been around the hairpin body and wants to fly, although the size is small, but the lines of each feather of the phoenix have been meticulously carved out by the craftsman, each feather is the pearl of the grinding piece, but under the illumination of the light, it is really as vivid as the phoenix that has been radiant.

Mrs. Li carefully held the hairpin, and reached out to touch Li Yun'er's delicate long hair.

"This hairpin is when you were born, the lord of the country specially asked someone to rush out to give it to your father, and when you were ten years old, your mother gave you this hairpin, at that time I was afraid that you love to play to break it, I didn't expect you to be more precious than anyone else This hairpin, those young ladies and nobles in the city said that they wanted to borrow it to play, even if it was just to see, but you just didn't agree. ”

Mrs. Li got up and walked behind Li Yun'er, helping her with her smooth hair, as she spoke.

"Those people in the city say that you are stingy, and you know that you are choking when you have good things, but my mother knows that you are not that kind of person, you just don't want to hurt the hairpin to be broken, because you have said before that as long as you have this hairpin, you can be as beautiful as the phoenix, always happy and free. ”

Li Yun'er's complexion finally changed, but she still didn't speak.

"My mother has always thought that when you get married, she will wear this hairpin on your head, so that you will be happy for the rest of your life. ”

Mrs. Li said and inserted the hairpin into Li Yun'er's coiled bun, the latter struggled a little, but Mrs. Li randomly pressed her two hands on her shoulders, Li Yun'er felt the strength and temperature of the palm, and then she regained her calm, but her eyes were also red.

"I don't know what that makeup artist does, this kind of hairpin dares to wear it on my family's Yun'er's head, I really don't know what to do. Mrs. Li took the hairpin on Li Yuner's head, which was also in good condition, and threw it behind her.

The bronze mirror in front of him vaguely reflected the shadows of the two of them.

"By the way, this is my Yun'er, this is a bride. Madame Li smiled happily, but in fact, she did not see any clear appearance in the bronze mirror at all.

"Yun'er, you remember, many things are like this hairpin, the good is good, the wrong is wrong, there is no room for maneuver, those that are not good, just throw them away. Mrs. Li whispered, and at this time, tears slowly slid down Yun'er's cheeks.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and Mrs. Li turned to see an old man who looked like a ceremonial official standing in front of the door, bending down and saluting.

"Madame, the hour is coming, and it is time for Mademoiselle to get ready. ”

"Well, I know, I'll go first. Mrs. Li responded, and the old man stepped back first.

"Xiaocui, accompany Yun'er, someone will come to pick her up soon. Mrs. Li commanded, Xiao Cui said yes, and then the former turned around and went out.

Just as she walked out the door, Mrs. Li finally turned her head and looked at Yun'er's back, and the pendant on the side of the Xia crown that the latter was carrying trembled slightly.

"Yun'er, don't blame anyone, if you want to complain, you will blame that you were born in this family. ”

Mrs. Li went out, Xiaocui walked slowly to Li Yun'er's side, her mood was a little complicated, and she whispered at the moment.

"Miss......"

Before she finished speaking, Li Yun'er turned around and hugged Xiao Cui's waist, her covered face let out a suppressed cry, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

Xiao Cui didn't speak again, touched Li Yun'er's hair, and the two cried together.

In the courtyard of the Li Mansion, the guests ate the dishes that were constantly presented, the tea had long been replaced by fine wine, and some people were already ruddy at this time.

He sat in the middle of the banquet, holding a small wine glass in his hand, and took a sip from time to time, but did not communicate with the others, but was silent and did not know what to think.

Suddenly, there was a drum sound in the hall, everyone stopped their movements and followed the sound, the drum stopped abruptly, Li Zhi walked out of the back of the hall slowly, and suddenly a greeting sounded.

Li Zhilu returned the salute in the middle, cleared his throat, and everyone was quiet again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is Li's birthday, and it is the honor of my Li Mansion to be able to come to appreciate the light, and it is also the honor of Li. ”

A humble salute sounded during the banquet, and Li Zhi signaled silence and continued.

"Li has lived most of his life, today is a crucial day for me, not only Li's birthday, but also the wedding day of Li's beloved daughter Yun'er, double happiness, God bless me Li, God bless Dayuan Mansion, God bless my country!"

"God bless the capital!" everyone raised their glasses and shouted, without exception.

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and sat on the main seat in the hall, and at that table, Wang Li's family and Mrs. Li were still sitting.

At this time, the old man who had been the former ceremonial officer walked out and shouted loudly.

"The auspicious time is coming, the new son-in-law of the Wang family enters the hall to salute!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Fu walked into the courtyard in a groom's suit and walked past the crowd, his face full of pride.

Walking to the front of the hall, Wang Fu knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, and said.

"Son-in-law Wang Fu, meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and wish you two great blessings and eternal longevity. ”

What followed was some polite words to each other, and the banquet looked at it in his eyes, playing with the wine glass in his hand, and narrowed his eyes.

After the greetings were over, the old man from before walked out again.

"After the ceremony, the banquet begins, and the wedding ....."

"Slow!"

Before the words were finished, an interruption came, and everyone followed the sound to see that it was a reluctant word.

A trace of gloom flashed in Wang Fu's eyes, but it quickly dissipated, on this day, no matter what, he couldn't be the first person to be angry, and immediately covered up his emotions.

"Let's talk about what the virtuous nephew has later, and when the time comes, it will be a troublesome thing to delay the hour. ”

Although Li Zhi was a little surprised and dissatisfied, he still said it kindly, while Wang Li on the side just looked at him and didn't look at it.

"The two adults, as well as Wang Gongzi, I said before that I have a special gift for a few people today, now is the right time, Wang Gongzi, you must like this gift, I don't know if you are willing to give you the opportunity to show it in the next one?"

Wang Fu naturally wanted to refuse, but he still turned his head sideways and pretended to be an advisor, but he skimmed Li Zhi and looked directly at his father Wang Li.

Wang Li looked at the situation in front of him, leaned back on the long-backed chair, squinted and nodded slightly.

"Someone blesses, I am naturally grateful, in this case, please bring up the congratulatory gift you said, so that you can open your eyes. Wang Fu understood, immediately turned around and said with a smile.

He didn't speak again, smiled and clapped his hands, and a few people didn't know where a young man came to the courtyard, piled the man on the ground and left directly.

On the other table in the banquet sat the black-robed young man who had appeared at the gate earlier, and at this time he looked at the person who was brought up in the room, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and laughed silently.

The man on the ground moved slowly, as if his whole body was weak, and with great difficulty he turned over and turned his face towards the starlight in the sky.

That person was Yue Xiaofei.
