Chapter Eighty-One: The Ten Ladies (Part 2)
There was silence outside the weeping flower door for a long time.
Luo Zhenyu said triumphantly, "How?" Can't guess it! As long as you concede defeat, then send three big red envelopes, and then answer my fourth brother-in-law's "Analects", we will let you in. ”
"You're embarrassing us." There was a shout outside the door, "There is no such word at all." ”
"I didn't say it had to be an anagram." Everyone's eyes fell on him, and Luo Zhenyu was almost a little triumphant, "You are also too stupid." Tell you, when my fifth brother-in-law came to greet him, all the riddles were answered correctly. Not only that, but also made a policy on the spot. Don't say that the door is opened, even the red envelope that opens the door is exempted. ”
It is because the atmosphere on the spot is too good to ask for red envelopes. However, when he returned to the door on the third day, Qian Ming still took the initiative to replenish the red envelopes of Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu to them. To say who they like the most now, I am afraid it is Qian Ming.
There was a whisper outside.
Qian Ming's eyebrows could not help but feel a little joyful.
The more this time, the more magnanimous it is.
He hurried to Luo Zhenxing's side, but he heard Yu Yiqingzheng, who was standing side by side with Luo Zhenxing, whispering, "What a riddle is this?" Certainly not a word puzzle. That's about hitting an object. The scope is so wide..."
Luo Zhenxing smiled, "It must be that these two little guys deliberately found it from somewhere to find the ten brothers-in-law, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to answer." ”
Seeing Qian Ming come over, the two stopped talking, laughed and shouted "Zi Chun".
Qian Ming smiled and said, "It's not too early." So as not to miss the auspicious time. I see, or give a step down them good. ”
Yu Yiqing nodded, "But I can't answer this riddle." Otherwise, I would have said the mystery to break the innings. ”
When Qian Ming heard this, he smiled and shouted outside the door: "Since you can't answer it, then leave the money to buy the road." Five red envelopes to get you through..."
Before his voice could be heard, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Fuck, what does that mean?" You don't want to marry, I don't want to marry yet!" Brothers, let's go back. He Luo's family wanted to marry this protégé and let them send their daughters to me themselves. Go, go, go, let's go home and drink..." The tone was very rude.
The people of the Luo family were all discolored.
As the saying goes, look up to marry a daughter-in-law, bow your head and marry a daughter-in-law. Whoever marries a daughter-in-law is not ridiculed by the in-laws. Unexpectedly, the Wang family turned out to be...
The most uncomfortable thing is Qian Ming.
It was his head just now!
Speaking of which, he lives so big, and has always been praised for his quick wit... But when he married the tenth aunt, he planted such a big heel in front of so many people in the Yue family. I don't know how my father-in-law and mother-in-law will look at him...
Luo Zhenxing and Yu Yiqing were stunned.
They never imagined that someone would do this... When they became relatives, they were made worse than this, and no one dared to turn around and leave!
For a moment, the inner courtyard was silent.
And the people outside listened to the clamor of that and all got up and coaxed: "Go, go..."
"Shizi, Shizi..." Someone on the wang family side pleaded bitterly, "Can you go... Grandpa Guo asked how do I explain..." Unfortunately, this voice was weak and was quickly drowned out in a strange cry.
"What to do?" Yu Yiqing was a little confused.
Luo Zhenxingye couldn't make up his mind: "Otherwise, just open the door!" ”
"Open the door." Yu Yiqing hesitated, "Doesn't that make people say that we are afraid of the new aunt and rush to send people to the door?" Shame on you! How do you let the Ten Niangs behave in the Wang family after that? ”
As the two spoke, they were invariably surprised at how Qian Ming did not speak, and they both looked at Qian Ming and saw him standing there covered in sweat.
"Zi Chun, you always have the most ideas, so you can get an idea."
Luo Zhenxing's voice had just fallen, and the sound of smashing things was already heard outside: "Gone, gone..."
Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu were also stunned at first, and at this moment, there was a "crackling" sound outside, which made the two of them frightened by an excitement. They glanced at each other, and then together they ran toward the backyard—they were going to find Eleven, so that she could find a place to hide for herself, and when the adults came back, they would definitely find them angry.
It was just that as soon as they entered the yard, they were startled.
The door of the west wing where the bride lived was open, and the servants looked solemn, but quietly carried the copper basin in and out.
"This, what's wrong with that?" Luo Zhenyu was a little stunned.
"Let's go, let's go outside." Luo Zhenkai was also very curious, and immediately forgot his purpose of going to the backyard.
Luo Zhenyu had always been the leader of his brother Ma, and followed Luo Zhenkai towards the West Wing.
Seeing their faces turned white with fright, someone screamed, "Someone is coming!" ’
Some mournful voices actually frightened Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu into taking two steps back.
"What's going on?" With a stern question, the two brothers noticed Amber appearing at the door.
"Why are you (you)here?" The three asked in unison.
For a moment, the three of them stayed there looking at each other.
"Amber, who's out there?" From the room came the somewhat serious voice of Eleven Niang.
Luo Zhenkai had never heard Eleven Niang speak in such a tone.
He instinctively sensed that things were strange.
"Sister Eleven," Luo Zhenkai immediately rushed in, "it's me!" ”
Amber looked at it with a bitter smile and entered the room with Luo Zhenyu one after the other.
*****
Eleven Niang sat on the large kang near the window with a pale face, and a woman was resting on her lap.
The dark green silk was dragged on the big red brocade robe, and the beauty was even more frightening.
"How are you?" Eleven Niang calmly greeted Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu, and then calmly instructed the people around her: "Refill." ”
Luo Zhenkai found out that the woman wearing a lilac gown standing on the kangtou was actually The mother Xu next to the eldest wife. Listening to The Eleventh Lady's command, she immediately squeezed the jaw of the woman on the eleventh lady's lap and opened the man's mouth, and another lady poured water from the sea bowl into the woman's mouth. The woman coughed a little, and water spilled out of her mouth.
Luo Zhenyu couldn't help but "ah" a sound.
Although the woman's eyes were closed and her face was slightly deformed by them, he still recognized it at a glance, and the woman who was resting on the lap of Eleven Niang was today's bride, Ten Niang.
Amber walked over, "Fifth Master, Sixth Master, I'll take you to the next door to eat candy." ”
The two had never seen such a scene before, and they were curious and felt a little frightened, and they could not help but hesitate.
Although Amber was anxious in her heart, she did not dare to forcibly drag these two masters away. Just then, a mother walked in with a large basin of hot stuff; "Mung bean water is coming, mung bean water is coming!" Very excited.
Amber pulled one in one hand and pulled them away from the kang.
"It's getting cold." Eleven's voice list is a little low, but the voice is stable, and it is inexplicable that people calm down.
The woman who brought the mung bean water listened and immediately ran into the clean room to get an empty copper basin, and then poured the mung bean water from this basin to that basin, back and forth, trying to make the mung bean water cool down quickly.
"Refill." Eleven niang commanded the beard.
Tears fell from her eyes: "Miss Eleven, irrigate, I can't pour it in!" ”
"What can I do about this?" Luo Zhenkai found that Mother Xu was looking at Eleven Niang in panic.
Eleven Niang thought about it and said, "Mother still go back to Mother!" This cannot be hidden. The more you hide, the worse it ends. ”
Mother Xu hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth: "There is Miss Laofu Eleven here, and I immediately went to the eldest lady." ”
Eleven Niang nodded, and Mother Xu rushed away.
Tenth sister, are you going to die?
Luo Zhenkai thought, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward to see what he was doing.
As a result, he saw Eleven Niang suddenly bow her head and say in Ten Niang's ear, "You are really obedient!" She wants you to die, and you die obediently. ”
Luo Zhenkai found that the eyelashes of the tenth sister had been quietly covering her eyelids and trembling.
Looking at The Eleventh Lady again, she had raised her head, her back was straight, and her voice said "Refill" in a calm voice.
Her voice is not loud, and her tone is not high, but there is an awe-inspiring atmosphere that makes people dare not listen.
The lady immediately began to pour water into the mouth of the Tenth Lady again.
"Miss Eleven, mung bean water, mung bean water is coming!" The woman who poured mung bean water on the side looked at The Eleventh Lady with some timidity.
"Put on mung bean water." Eleven niang commanded the beard.
Neither the maid nor the woman dared to hesitate, one busily took the mung bean water over, and the other picked up the sea bowl and scooped it up and poured it into the mouth of the tenth lady.
Luo Zhenkai heard Eleven Niang whisper to Ten Niang again, "I don't know, you have always been a good daughter." ”
With the sound of Eleven Niang's voice, he saw that Ten Niang's fingers, which had been somewhat stiff, moved.
Luo Zhenkai couldn't help but look up at Eleven Niang. Finding that Eleven Niang seemed to be relieved, her eyebrows relaxed a lot.
I don't know how long it took, as if there was only one tea kung fu, and it seemed that a blazing time had passed, and Ten Niang suddenly "wow" and spit out.
Luo Zhen developed the existing look of surprise from under The Eleventh Lady's eyes, and her voice was slightly higher than just now: "Refill!" ”
Outside the door came the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Luo Zhensheng couldn't help but follow the prestige.
I saw Xu's mother walk in with a big lady whose face was as white as paper: "Can you live to be successful?" ”
The whole house was full of people who half-crouched down to give the eldest lady a salute, and the eldest lady did not look at it, and went straight to the big kang near the window.
She stared at Ten Niang's eyes full of resentment, and Luo Zhenkai shivered.
"I don't know." Eleven Niang's voice was very calm: "Do your best"
The eldest lady immediately instructed Mother Xu: "You go and tell Uncle That the Wang family is willing to marry a daughter-in-law, so give me three prostrations in front of the matchmaker and the two families in a disciplined manner." Unwilling to marry, tomorrow let Mr. Matchmaker come, retire the one that should be retired, and return it. Our family is not reluctant. ”
Mother Xu immediately responded "yes" and trotted out of the room.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but be confused.
The eldest lady sneered: "Your eldest brother stopped the door, and the boy of the Wang family threw a tantrum and threatened to retire from marriage." "Said, look at the ten ladies." It just so happens that we don't have to make any excuses. If she survives, we'll marry our daughter. If she didn't survive, she would have committed suicide by being humiliated. ”
"But isn't the Wang family going to get out of the marriage?" Eleven Niang's voice carried a little pity that Luo Zhenkai did not understand, "I see, the prince's cultivation is so poor, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity..."
"What do you know?" The eldest lady's voice became even colder, "It is related to the reputation of our two families, but it is not something that he can decide as a little yellow-mouthed child." ”
Luo Zhenkai noticed that Ten Niang's fingers were moving again.
Chapter Eighty-Two: Remarriage
Ten Niang woke up in the middle of the night, and there was only a silver bottle guarding her.
Seeing that she woke up, the silver bottle was very surprised, and on the one hand, he told the little girl to go back to the eleventh lady, and on the other hand, he personally went back to the eldest wife.
At that time, the eldest lady had already stopped, and said "I know" through the curtain, and there was no follow-up.
Eleven Niang also rested, heard that Ten Niang woke up, let Binju bring a message to the little girl: "Drink more mung bean water, detoxification." ”
Ten Niang listened to nothing, changed her clothes by the silver bottle, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Eleven Niang did not fall asleep most of the night.
She originally thought that the bracelet that Ten Niang carried with her was related to the lost property in Yu Hang's hometown, but as a result, although Ten Niang's bracelet was hollow, it was arsenic. I don't know if the arsenic cream has been put on for a long time, or the color is not good when I buy it. In a panic, Ten Niang poured half of the tea and spilled half of it on the ground............ It didn't take long to drink it and start to shiver, and the lips turned dark purple. Mother Xu, who had been paying attention to her, immediately found something strange, and was afraid of going to the main courtyard to lose the face of the Luo family, thinking that she had a movement on her side Eleven Niang could not hide it, so she simply called her to help... She tossed and turned wildly, and she didn't expect to save the Tenth Lady.
Although he is well-intentioned, what will be waiting for the Tenth Lady?
No one can say for sure.
*******
Early the next morning, the matchmaker of the Wang family, Lord Wang, arrived.
He first opened his mouth and scolded Wang Lang fiercely, and then took three thousand two silver tickets to the Grand Master, saying that the Maoguo Gongfu compensated the Luo family for losses.
The eldest master did not want to, said the suicide of the tenth lady, insisted on retiring from the marriage: "It is true that the two families do not have this fate!" ”
Wang Lang did go too far.
Lord Wang was very embarrassed, said a few polite words, and then got up and resigned.
"Did you just quit the marriage?" The eldest lady couldn't help but nag a little when she heard it, "Who will come to the door to ask for relatives in the future?" ”
The eldest master really wanted to retire from this family affair: "That Wang Lang is not a good son-in-law." And the ten ladies would rather die than marry, I think it is still forgotten! ”
The eldest lady couldn't help but sneer: "That feeling is good." In the future, if the parents do not do as well as the children's wishes, they will learn to die or live! ”
The eldest master listened a little annoyed: "Then what do you say?" ”
"Of course, I want the Wang family to come to the door with great fanfare and apologize!" The eldest lady said with a straight face, "Don't forget, our family still has the marriage of the fourth master, the eleventh lady and the twelfth lady." You can't delay those two because of the Tenth Lady! Especially the eleventh lady, the Xu family is about to come down. Mrs. Tai means that Hou Ye will set a date when he comes back, but you see this... How do we set a date with the Xu family? ”
The eldest lady's words were reasonable everywhere, and the eldest master was silent.
The eldest lady came up with the idea: "The prince is married, and her sister must be in Yanjing." I see that she is still needed to come forward in this matter! It is better that we write a letter to her in order to retreat, saying that the ten ladies of our family are not worthy of the prince, and have failed to live up to her good intentions, and then propose that the Luo family has lost face and only has to go the way of retiring from marriage... With her cleverness, she must have seen what we meant! ”
The big old man nodded in agreement.
The eldest lady personally wrote a letter to Mrs. Jiang.
It's just that the letter hasn't been written yet, and the Marquis of Yongchang, Huang Laoye, has come.
The couple was stunned.
The eldest lady complained, "Lord, I said!" This will affect the eleventh lady. You see, the Xu family sent someone so quickly. ”
The eldest lord went to the hall in disbelief.
Who knew that Old Marquis Huang had come to give the gift list: "This is the dowry of the Xu family, the dowry, you see." ”
The big old man was slightly embarrassed.
He didn't expect that the Xu family was not affected by this incident at all!
Old Marquis Huang consulted with the Grand Master: "What Mrs. Huang means is that since Miss Ten's marriage cannot be fixed for a while, it is better to handle Miss Eleven's marriage first." There are also wheat harvests followed by barley! ”
Compared with the Wang family, the Xu family was very thoughtful about Luo Jiali. The eldest lord naturally answered with a full mouth and made a decision for twenty-six days.
Come back and tell the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is also quite surprised.
The eldest master could not help but sigh: "Or the Xu family is reasonable." ”
The eldest lady put aside the matter of the tenth lady for the time being, and wholeheartedly prepared the eleventh lady's decision.
Who knows, the next day, Madame Jiang brought her brother Wang Lang to personally come to the door to apologize.
The eldest old man was so angry that he cried out", and the eldest wife could not help but exhort: "The wrongdoer is easy to knot and not easy to solve." Wang Lang is a young man, and the young man does not have a little temper. If you really don't agree, what will you do after the Tenth Lady? "After saying it for most of the day, the big old man's face was slightly pale.
The eldest lady went to see Madame Jiang and Wang Lang.
Madame Jiang breathed in a low voice, saying all the words of apology: "... It was all our fault, and we took three thousand taels of silver to compensate for the cost of your family that day. My brother knew it was wrong and came to compensate you. Saying, Chao Wang Lang made his eyes glaze over.
Wang Lang sat there drinking tea, looking like he hadn't seen it.
Madame Jiang had no choice but to keep saying good things for her brother: "A thousand mistakes, he is always your son-in-law." As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a child. You should also give him a few thin noodles so that he can raise his head in front of his uncle and his brother in the future. ”
I see!
The eldest lady couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Afraid of not being able to lift his head in front of his uncle is small, and it is true that he wants to be a couplet with Yong Pinghou, right?
However, if you are born by yourself, seize this opportunity, this family affair will have to be retired no matter what. But I didn't give birth to myself... Thinking of the scene of the Tenth Lady who did not say a word after saving herself, but buried her head in a big meal and drank, she was vaguely uneasy, and she always felt as if something else would happen.
Marry out early, so as not to make people angry!
His wife's face was pale.
Madame Jiang was very good at observing the color, and immediately took out a box with red paint depicting gold: "Here are a total of five thousand taels of silver tickets." The other two thousand taels of silver are the cost of your marriage to Miss Ten this time, and it is all borne by our royal family. ”
The eldest lady couldn't help but smile: "Madame Jiang said that I can't afford this silver..."
Madame Jiang listened and said busily, "Not this meaning, not this meaning." It's just that we want to apologize..." Well, the eldest lady let Xu Mother take the box. Lady Jiang took the opportunity to propose to marry Ten Niang on May 24.
The eldest lady hesitated: "On the twenty-sixth day, the Xu family came to hire, which was already agreed upon." I was afraid that tang would suddenly attack the prince. ”
If you marry on the twenty-fourth day, the twenty-sixth day is the day of returning to the door on three days.
Who knew that Madame Jiang immediately said, "Twenty-four is twenty-four." Speaking of which, we missed the auspicious day. He said, looking at his brother, "We and the Xu family are also family friends, just come to see the liveliness." ”
The eldest lady couldn't help but glance at Wang Lang—he hadn't said a word since he entered the door.
When Wang Lang saw the eldest lady looking at her, he glanced at the eldest lady obliquely, very arrogant.
The eldest lady did not like it. Thought of Qian Ming...
No wonder you do something about the day you get married! However, she did not agree to this family affair to find a good son-in-law. Thinking of this, the eldest lady smiled slightly and immediately agreed to Mrs. Jiang's request.
Madame Jiang thanked and thanked him, and after a few moments of greeting, she took Wang Lang up and said goodbye.
After the eldest master heard what the eldest lady said, he couldn't help but sigh, "Or, if you marry someone, you will have a safe life." ”
Looking at the distant shadow of the palanquin, the sixth aunt couldn't help but sigh: "The old man accepted me that time, and also let the palanquin walk around two streets." ”
This means that the ceremony of marrying the ten brides is not as solemn as the ceremony of concubinage.
The fourth and fifth ladies did not have a conversation, but their eyes were dark.
******
May 26 is not only the day when the ten ladies return to the door for three days, but also the day when the Xu family is hired.
At dawn, the Luo family's door was wide open and the lights were shining.
Wang Lang and the Xu family arrived one after the other.
The eldest lady placed Wang Lang's two sons in Luo Zhenxing's residence, accompanied by Luo Zhenxing's two sons, and the others all went to greet the Xu family's honor guard.
The Xu family's dowry of thirty-six lifts is a bit shabby compared to the Xu family's door, but the head is a pair of jade ruyi given by the empress dowager, and the second is the Shoulufu Sanxing Weng given by the empress dowager--just these two things, which cannot be compared with other families.
The eldest lady was very happy, "At that time, Yingyuan Niang was sixty-four..."
Mother Xu listened and nodded, "Hou Ye still respects the wife of the great aunt and grandmother." ”
The person who came to send the appointment was Xu Lingning, the third master of the Xu family, he was originally a cautious person, very polite to people, Lord Jin and Old Marquis Huang were acquainted, Yu Yiqing had a broad temperament, Qian Ming was also a hearty friend, a few words down, the atmosphere became very harmonious.
The eldest master looked very happy.
During the meal, Luo Zhenxing accompanied Wang Lang.
Xu Lingning was not surprised to see Wang Lang and greeted him with a smile.
Wang Lang saw xu Lingning but was stunned, "Why didn't the fifth master come?" ”
Xu Lingning smiled, "This is the end of the month -- the fifth brother has gone to DingnanHou's yue-in-law's house." ”
Luo Zhenxing was busy inviting everyone to take a seat.
Xu Lingning's attitude was humble and let everyone take their seats first. Wang Lang was not polite and sat in the first place with a big grin.
Luo Zhenxing whispered to Lord Jin, Marquis Huang, and Xu Lingning, "... Today is the day when the ten brothers-in-law and the tenth sister return to the door. ”
Xu Lingning instead comforted Luo Zhenxing and smiled: "The Wang family and our family also have contacts, and the prince has such a temper." You don't have to worry about it. Saying, respectfully let Lord Jin and Old Marquis Huang sit first. Old Marquis Huang probably also knew Wang Lang's temper, didn't say anything, and sat down at Wang Lang's head. Lord Kim wouldn't say anything.
Luo Zhenxing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Yiqing did not like this brother-in-law even more.
Qian Ming secretly praised Xu Lingning in his heart for having great popularity.
In the backyard, the grandmother set up a banquet to entertain the ten ladies.
Ten Niang was wearing a big red gown with golden water and grass patterns, and there was no joy of a bride on her face. He ate a bowl of rice by himself, and then said "Full," and then threw away the bowl, asked the silver bottle to bring his book, and sat down on the big kang near the window to look at it.
The fourth lady, the fifth lady and the grandmother who accompanied the seat couldn't help but look at each other. I had to ask the silver bottle privately, "Miss Ten, is it all right?" ”
Silver Bottle smiled, "Grandpa Guo and Madame are very fond of Miss Ten." ”
If you can get the in-laws' liking, this day is half better.
Everyone was only slightly relieved.
Chapter Eighty-Three: Lian Lian
A few days after the decision was made, Xu Lingyi returned to the dynasty.
The army stopped at the Xishan camp sixty kilometers away from Yanjing, and General Xu Lingyi led his 3,000 officers and men to hold a prisoner-laying ceremony at noon on June 6.
That day, Wanxiang Empty City watched Xu Lang...
Eleven Niang took amber and holly at home to dry clothes and quilts, taking this opportunity to collect the cage.
Zhu Xiang brought mung bean soup to quench their thirst.
"Take a break!" Eleven niang looked at the scorching sun and greeted Amber and Holly who were busy in the courtyard.
The two men entered the house with the scorching heat, held the mung bean soup and drank it in one gulp before putting the bowl down.
"Put the rock candy," Holly asked Zhu Xiang with a smile.
Zhu Xiang nodded, "I said that Miss Eleven wanted it, and there was rock candy in the kitchen." ”
Before marrying into the Xu family, everyone was very different from the people in the eleventh lady's house.
Zhu Xianglai hesitated: "Mother Shen in the kitchen said that her niece is very capable, and when the young lady leaves, can she take her niece over?" ”
Everyone looked at Eleven.
Eleven Niang smiled and said, "Tell her that this kind of thing is decided by her mother." ”
Amber said vaguely, "Miss, do you want to look at a few people... There's always a way..."
Eleven did not make a sound.
Holly looked at the sky, "On such a hot day, I don't know if Hou Ye can stand it?" Don't get sick with a fever! ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but wan'er: "You can rest assured, the Xu family has been hired, no matter what happens to him, I will always marry him." ”
Holly listened but said, "Miss, Hou Ye is so good to you, you can't say such things again!" ”
The "good" in her mouth meant that the Xu family's dowry to Eleven Niang was five thousand taels of silver... Compared with the one thousand taels that the Wang family gave to the tenth lady and the two hundred taels that the Qian family gave to the fifth niang, it was really too long for himself.
Eleven decided to remain silent.
On this issue, she and Holly really can't talk together.
The dowry is on the surface, which is not only the face of the Luo family but also the face of the Xu family. Moreover, because the total price of the Xu family's dowry exceeded 10,000 taels of silver, the eldest wife had to rise to the top and bought a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver for her. Of course, this kind of result is very much expected to see eleven niangs - who would think that their dowry is too much! In addition, the really valuable gold and silver jewelry in the dowry given by the Xu family, the clothing and cloth will be given to her, and when the time comes, she will accompany her to the Xu family as her dowry.
In real terms, the Xu family only spent two or three thousand taels of silver, but she brought two farms, two yards, only this, this is worth five thousand taels of silver... The Xu family really earned both face and money.
In contrast, the Luo family still suffered a big loss.
If you hire a daughter-in-law for your son, I am afraid that I will do the same!
However, the generosity of the eldest lady also surprised her.
After all, the fifth lady and the tenth lady are married, but she is a bowl of water flat, all of which are a hundred acres of paddy fields and a yard...
And Holly saw that Eleven Niang did not make a sound, knowing that she did not like to say this herself, but she really couldn't help it.
Husband is wife. Marrying into the Xu family, whether it is life or death, good or bad, all depends on Hou Ye. If you don't serve the Marquis well, how can you have a good life? If the young lady does not understand this, she will suffer a big loss in the future!
She couldn't help but persuade Eleven: "Miss, you have read more books than I do, and you know more than I do." Only when the husband sings with the woman can the family prosper..."
A little girl ran in and said, "Miss Eleven, the palanquin that went to pick up the fifth aunt is back!" ”
Eleven Niang "Teng" stood up at once: "Really, where?" ”
The little girl smiled and said, "Just entered the alley." This will be afraid to enter the yard. ”
This is also one of the benefits of being close to Xu Lingyi - there are things about her in the family, and everyone is very active in reporting to her.
Eleven Niang let Amber reward the little girl with a few coppers.
The little girl picked up and left thankfully.
Eleven Niang sat down slowly.
Holly Wonder said, "Won't you go and greet your aunt?" ”
"When the time comes, my mother will naturally call me." Eleven Niang had a faint sadness on her face.
Some things are in each other's tables. Otherwise, how can there be a mother who is precious to her son and a mother who is honored by her mother? Only she is well, others naturally do not dare to neglect the fifth aunt ...
But after a while, no one came to call her.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but get anxious. Sent Qiu Ju to inquire: "See if something happened?" ”
Qiu Ju answered the call and quickly folded back: "Miss, the fifth aunt did not come!" ”
Eleven Niang was astonished: "Didn't come? Why didn't you come? Is it uncomfortable? Or is something else? ”
"I don't know." Qiu Ju shook her head, "However, this time Wu Xiaoquan's two sons have come, and Wu Xiao's whole family should know." ”
Eleven Niang was anxious, but her face pretended to be calm. Until the afternoon waited for Wu Xiao's family.
She was also cheerful and said, "My aunt said that if you have a good home, it is better than anything." She didn't come. So as not to embarrass my uncle when I leave the cabinet. Let me also bring you a letter, so that when you come to your husband's house, you must honor your mother-in-law and your aunt, but you must not do anything out of order. Eleven Niang was in a bit of a daze.
Fifth aunt, no matter when, the first thing that comes to mind is to be her own daughter...
Wu Xiao's whole family looked at Eleven's eyes a little red, and busily smiled: "Miss Eleven doesn't know yet, right?" Our fourth grandfather is going to marry his daughter-in-law. ”
Eleven Niang was really attracted by this news and said in surprise, "The fourth brother is going to marry his daughter-in-law?" ”
Wu Xiao's whole family nodded, "It's Miss Zhou Family of Linqiao in Yu County." It can also be regarded as a generation of books. My grandfather used to be the prefect of Daimyo Province, but his father died early, and the family road was somewhat lost. ”
Eleven Niang nodded.
If it were good, the eldest lady would certainly not agree.
Wu Xiao's family members were not disgusted by this topic, and took a few steps forward and whispered, "However, I heard that Miss Zhou's personality is very spicy, and people in the neighbors do not dare to provoke her." So by the age of eighteen, he had not yet spoken of his in-laws. ”
"Eighteen-year-old hasn't said in-laws yet?" Amber whispered, "Isn't that bigger than our fourth master?" ”
Wu Xiao's whole family covered their sleeves and smiled: "This year is twenty years old, just in response to the female junior, holding a gold brick." ”
"Who did this family affair?" Eleven Niang couldn't help but say, "Does the Third Aunt know?" ”
"It is the mediator of the wife of the prefect of Hangzhou, Bao." Wu Xiao's whole family laughed: "The eldest lady personally entrusted Mrs. Zhou to help me, and the third aunt knows whether there is anything to worry about." I heard that Lord Zhou once worked with Miss Zhou's grandfather, and because of the same surname Zhou, he also discussed the tooth order. No, tentatively scheduled for the first ten days of September, I was specifically asked to discuss the matter of marriage. ”
The so-called "negotiation of marriage matters" means to come to the eldest wife to get money, right? After all, whether it is a decision or a marriage, it is always difficult to do without money. Moreover, during the New Year this year, the eldest wife sent someone back to Yuhang to take 20,000 silver...
Here Wu Xiao's whole family and Eleven Niang were talking, and the eldest old man over there was worried: "I said that the sisters should be similar, but you don't listen." Now, what if Brother Sheng becomes a parent? ”
"What's so hard to do?" The eldest lady said coldly, "Powder the place where he used to live, and the furniture is ready-made." However, when the decision is made, it costs no more than two hundred taels to add some gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, plus chicken, duck and fish meat at the banquet, up to four hundred taels is enough. ”
"No!" The eldest master said, "You let me marry a daughter-in-law for four hundred and two, and it is strange that the neighbors do not laugh and lose their big teeth." How can it be a thousand taels of silver. ”
"A thousand taels of silver?" The eldest lady sneered with a tea cup, "You don't look at what kind of family the Zhou family is?" If you take a thousand taels of silver, how can the Zhou family return the gift? Don't forget, the dowry of twelve thousand taels of silver for the Xu family will allow us to spend twenty thousand taels of silver to marry the eleventh wife. The Xu family is accustomed to seeing big scenes and has always been generous, we always have to think about the Zhou family, right? Maybe just these four hundred taels, the Zhou family will have to borrow money to marry their daughters. ”
The eldest master had to mutter, "That's too little." When He was a brother, it cost more than five thousand taels..."
The eldest lady glanced at her husband impatiently: "The dowry of the daughter-in-law is also more than three thousand and two!" ”
The big old man had never won the big lady's account, and he turned around a little sullenly and went to drink tea.
"The tenth day of the first month of September must also be changed." The eldest lady groaned, "The Xu family came to ask me two days ago. It is said that qin tianjian said that only the first ten days of September are good days. Otherwise, wait for October 22. I looked at the Xu family's meaning, I wanted to book the first ten of September. Brother Sheng's day will wait until the Xu family's side is fixed! After saying that, he also called Mother Xu, "I went to pick up the fifth aunt and the fifth aunt and grandmother--the brother became a big thing, and we had to discuss and discuss the two of them." ”
Now the five ladies listen to Qian Ming in everything, and Qian Ming, like the eldest wife, must first take care of the Xu family. The big old man had no choice but to stop talking. Only wait for the Xu family to report the day.
The Xu family really took a fancy to the first ten days of September.
Because it was discussed with the eldest wife, the eldest master immediately agreed.
Luo Zhensheng's marriage was changed to October 22.
The couple had just discussed it, and there was a letter from Shandong saying that the date of the seventh lady's marriage was set for the first ten days of October.
"Didn't you say it's spring next year?" How did it change at the end of the year? ”
Mother Yu, who came to report the letter, smiled and said, "You don't know how sincere the heart of this aunt in our family is." The second wife said that it would take a day to hit the furniture, and the aunt rushed to send the furniture; The second wife said that the needle and thread could not be done for a while, and my uncle invited a needle and thread master from Xian Aya Pavilion to our house to do needlework... The second wife looked at this posture and did not dare to say anything--could it be possible to marry Miss Seven and let the aunt's family pay for it? No, first, let me report a letter to the eldest lord, the eldest wife, and the third wife, and the second is to let me go to the old auspicious to give Miss Seven the first face. ”
The eldest lady looked at the eldest master: "It seems that Brother Sheng's wedding date has to be changed again." ”
When a son becomes a parent, parents always get it!
The eldest master waved his hand: "Brother Sheng's marriage is scheduled to start in the spring next year!" ”
"Next year, the Zhou family girl is twenty-one!" The eldest lady objected again.
Niece and son, of course, son is more important.
The eldest master did not hesitate a little, and immediately said, "Then let Brother Xing go to send the Seventh Lady, and we will return to Yuhang!" ”
The eldest lady's face darkened slightly.
Chapter Eighty-Four: Leaving the Cabinet (Part I)
On autumn nights, the moonlight is bright, and it is sprinkled lightly through the window ledge on the blue floor tiles, full of peace and tranquility.
Looking at the big red gold brocade hanging on the hanger, Eleven Niang was completely sleepy.
I'm going to marry into the Xu family tomorrow, am I really ready?
She couldn't help but roll over.
Wu Xiaoquan came to Yanjing from Yuhang, in addition to Luo Zhensheng's marriage, but also hers - because the dowry has two Zhuangzi and two courtyards, so the eldest wife let Wu Xiaoquan bring four rooms from Yuhang's hometown. One of them, Jiang Bingzheng, is said to be Jiang's mother's little uncle, who is just starting out Chinese New Year's Eve; One is named Liu Yuanrui, the same age as Jiang Bingzheng; One is called Wan Yizong, thirty-eight years old; One was called Chang Jiuhe, thirty-two years old.
Wu Xiao's family once told her proudly that these four families were all chosen by her. That Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe farming are good hands, Jiang Bingzheng was originally the treasurer of the Luo family's Hangzhou shop, because he offended the Tao general manager who was responsible for the luo family's Hangzhou city business, so he was driven to Zhuangzi, the Tao general manager is the third uncle of The Tao mother beside Yuan Niang, is a very sinister and cunning person, that is, Tao mother, but also to guard against a few clouds... As for Liu Yuanrui, people are very honest, the crop work is also done well, the main reason for choosing him is because his wife made a good meal, the farmer Dan Fan Lichun, autumn harvest such a big day, all Liu Yuanrui's family chef, very capable. When the time comes, Liu Yuanrui's family can be allowed to manage the yard. When idle, I go to live in the yard, and there is also a person who takes care of food and drink.
Eleven Niang smiled and thanked Wu Xiao's family, but instead of contacting the four families, she asked Amber: "... Do you know? Amber groaned, "Know Liu Yuanrui." This person was originally the head of ZhuangShang, who was very honest, and later he was..." Speaking of this, she paused, "Squeezed down by Xu Mother's nephew, if it were not for his wife's ability, he would have taken Wu Xiao's family, but he was afraid that he would not be able to gain a foothold on Zhuangzi." However, she cooks a good meal and is often asked to help cook for the red and white celebrations. Although I don't know Jiang Bingzheng, I have heard of it. It is said that he was very active, and he still wanted to compete with Tao for the position of the governor of Hangzhou Province, but later because he had embezzled the money, he was discovered by Tao and kicked to Zhuangzi. If it weren't for General Manager Wu's protection, the eldest lady would have kicked him out long ago. Saying, she hesitated for a moment, "This person can't cultivate the land, that is, Zhuangzi is also fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and he has this relationship with General Manager Wu, and everyone has no way to take him..."
Eleven Niang was surprised: "Why did Wu Xiaoquan want to protect him?" ”
Amber smiled and said, "He is going to marry the niece of General Manager Wu." ”
On the one hand is Mother Jiang, on the other side is Wu Xiaoquan, who is also competing with Tao For positions, which is Wang Bingzheng's background is quite complicated. However, there should be two brushes that can come. For example, the wife of Liu Yuanrui's family, her husband's errand was topped down by Xu's mother's nephew, she could also build a relationship with Wu Xiao's whole family, and finally was sent to Yanjing as a companion...
Eleven Niang couldn't help but bow her head slightly.
"I've never heard of Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe!" Amber said, "Do you want me to inquire?" Liu Yuanrui's family should know. ”
They are all people who are not small in age, born from the heart, and when they meet, they know what kind of personality they are!
Eleven Niang smiled, "Forget it, this is just a side of Wu Xiao's family." Who knows what the mother will arrange. ”
Eleven Niang remembered another matter.
Yesterday, Mother Xu told her that the eldest lady would let her bring four squirrels with her.
She thought about it, so she asked Amber to call Holly over, and then she sent Amber and asked Holly alone: "Maybe you can only go with four at that time, what do you think will be good?" ”
Holly listened, hung her head, and said halfway: "Miss, for the sake of my service to you, you, you match me with a serious person!" As he spoke, the tears fell silently, forming a small stream of water on the skirt.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh softly.
Holly must have thought that she was embarrassed, and deliberately mentioned her privately to let her have a psychological preparation.
"Rest assured, I'll take you away first." She smiled and soothed Holly's helplessness, "Won't let you fall into the hands of Yao's mother."
Holly nodded tearfully: "Miss, I will repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse in my next life."
"I want you to do what you do as a cow and a horse," Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh.
She called Hamaju again to ask Hamaju if she was very straightforward: "Naturally find a way to leave amber behind." "Miss, if not, we'll let Amber take some laxatives, as before..."
Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh, "That's not okay!" ”
"What then?" She frowned, "I look at her and my heart is hairy. After thinking about it, he told Eleven that Amber had gone to Ten Niang's place, "... You always make us patient. She poured it out, and she was proud of a few pieces of clothing. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble for you. ”
"Hmm." Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, "I see." I'll watch and do it! ”
Binju was relieved.
Eleven Niang asked Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju thought about it and looked at her seriously: "Miss, I will stay!" ”
Eleven Niang was very unexpected.
Qiu Ju smiled, "I want to go back to Yuhang." My mother, Lao Tzu, and my brothers and brothers are all in Yuhang. ”
Know when to say something, know what you want... Eleven Niang was suddenly very reluctant to her.
I couldn't help but shake her hand: "What do you particularly want?" ”
Qiu Ju was secretly relieved.
Although she knew that the master she served was not the kind of narrow-minded, she was also surprised to let her go in this way.
She smiled and said, "I want to learn Miss's double-sided embroidery." ”
That is not possible in terms of both time and the current situation.
Eleven Niang considered for a moment and said, "I will tell General Manager Wu and ask him to send you to the Hangzhou mansion as an errand boy." Write another letter to Master Jane, and you will take my letter and go to Master Jane. As for whether you can learn or not, it depends on your creation. ”
Qiu Ju hurriedly knelt down and gave Eleven Niang three nods: "Miss's great kindness, I will remember it for the rest of my life." ”
It means that he let her go back to Yuhang to reunite with her parents!
When it was time to separate, Eleven Niang found that qiu ju was a pearl, but unfortunately, she did not find it.
With a faint regret, she asked Zhu Xiang, "... You say, which four are I going to pick? ”
Zhu Xiang's face was full of shock.
She was a little girl, always following only Qiu Ju or Bin Ju behind her, and it was natural for her to be surprised when she asked her this way.
Eleven Niang smiled and said, "You were introduced by the fifth aunt, and I can't leave you at home." But when I went to Xu Mansion, we were not familiar with the land of life, and we were foreigners, and I was afraid that I would encounter many things. At that time, if you guys can't twist into a rope, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Ask you, I have a plan in mind! ”
Zhu Xiang lowered his head and twisted his fingers for half a day without speaking.
Eleven Niang did not urge her, and quietly drank tea.
After a while, she said carefully, "Leave, leave Sister Qiu Ju here!" She also has Niang and Lao Tzu in Yuhang. ”
Eleven Niang's heart was slightly shaken, but she smiled: "Qiu Ju will serve me when she enters the house, and I am a little reluctant." It's amber..."
Her voice had not yet fallen, and Zhu Xiang had already raised her head.
The big eyes were full of panic: "Don't you... The eldest lady would not agree... Is the fifth aunt still in Yuhang? Or will you send me back to Yuhang?" There must always be someone to serve around the fifth aunt! ”
Eleven Niang looked at her and smiled slightly, "I know." ”
Zhu Xiang said, "Miss rest assured, I won't tell anyone else about this." ”
Eleven Niang's smile deepened.
A few days later, the eldest wife introduced her to the four companions.
Na Jiang Bingzheng was, as Amber said, a quick-witted person with very flexible eyes. He and Liu Yuanrui, Wan Yizong, and Chang Jiuhe stood in the doorway, and the other three bowed their heads and did not dare to lift their heads, and Jiang Bingzheng actually took his eyes and looked at Eleven Niang several times.
Eleven Niang carefully observed the hands of the four people.
Jiang Bingzheng was white and neat, not like the hands of the Zhuang family.
Liu Yuanrui, Wan Yizong, and Chang Jiuhe's hands all had thick knuckles and rough skin. But Wan Yizong was different from Liu Yuanrui and Chang Jiuhe. Wan Yizong's hands were washed cleanly, and there was still dirt left in the nail seams of Liu Yuanrui and Chang Jiuhe.
Thinking of this, she rolled over again.
The sound of lichen rubbing is loud on this quiet night.
"Miss, have you slept?"
It was Amber who was sleeping on the bed pedals on duty at night asking her.
"Didn't sleep!" Eleven Niang spoke softly.
Usually at this time, Amber had something to say to her.
After waiting for half a moment, Amber did indeed open her mouth: "Hou Ye is like this, even if it is the sky!" Her voice was almost inaudible, as ethereal as if she were going to blend into the moonlight, "I often hear people say that the feast will disperse..." There was also a strong temptation in the tone, "And said, ascending high will fall heavily... Hou Ye, isn't that kind of person? ”
Xu Lingyi returned victoriously, and the emperor again offered to knight him, and Xu Lingyi wrote a long letter of thanksgiving, again politely refusing. The emperor rewarded Xu Lingyi with 10,000 taels and 10 acres of fertile land.
The eldest lady just sneered when she heard it.
The eldest master sighed and said, "It's a pity."
Unexpectedly, Amber has such an insight?
A thought that had been circling in her mind once again came to her mind.
Eleven Niang turned to the side, rested her head on her arm and looked at the amber on the bed: "Do you know why your mother gave you to me?" ”
"I don't know." Amber was shocked, "I was also thinking that the sisters are so smart." Xu was thinking I was elm, so he sent it out. She looked sideways at Lady Eleven, her eyes flickering in the darkness.
"I don't know." Eleven Niang smiled, "However, since she chose you, she must have her intentions." I want to ask you now, will you follow me? ”
Not to ask her if she would like to follow her to Xu Mansion, but to ask her if she would like to follow herself... There is an essential difference.
"You don't have to answer me now!" Eleven Niang lay down again, "Think about answering me later!" ”
Is it not possible to return to the eldest wife?
She never had a choice.
Entering the house to be a maid is the meaning of daddy; To the eldest wife's side, is the meaning of Mother Xu; Transferred to Miss Eleven's house, it is the meaning of the eldest wife... But she knew that she had never been able to be single-minded... There is no good result for a daughter and two marriages, and there is no good result in Cao Yingxin in Han.
Amber smiled, "Naturally I'm going to follow Miss." The voice was not hurried or slow, with a hint of solemnity.
In the darkness, the corners of Eleven's mouth were slightly cocked, and he rolled over to sleep: "You have to remember what you said." ”
Chapter Eighty-Five: Leaving the Cabinet (Middle)
At dawn the next day, the grandmother walked in with a smile with The Lady of Quanfu, Mrs. Zhang Peiyun, the master of the Hongxu Temple.
Qiu Ju busily gave two red envelopes to Madame Zhang.
Today, amber and a few people will take Madame Quanfu's carriage to accompany Eleven Niang to Xu Mansion, and they will also dress up. Therefore, the eleventh lady's house was lit up by the apricot forest next to Qiu Ju and the grandmother.
Madame Zhang smiled and accepted it, congratulating Eleven Niang. Eleven niang was served by holly to bathe. When I came out, I heard Mrs. Na Zhang laughing, "... First the great uncle passed the examination of Shu Jishi, and then the fifth aunt did the lifting of the woman, the tenth aunt married the grandfather of the world, and now the eleventh miss is matched with the Marquis of Yongping, this year is really a great luck! ”
The grandmother smiled with a smile on her face: "Accept your auspicious words, accept your auspicious words." ”
It really responds to outsiders to see the hilarious sentence!
Eleven Niang sat in front of the mirror table with mixed feelings, Mrs. Ren Zhang helped her comb her hair, inserted beads, Qiu Ju and Xinglin served Eleven Niang to change into a big red wedding dress, and then spread a pink veil on her shoulders, and Madam Zhang came forward to paint Eleven Niang's eyebrows.
After a while, pack up and stop.
Eleven Niang looked at the person in the mirror. The snow-white face, the curved eyebrows, the red cherry mouth, although it has changed its appearance, it looks like a Fu doll, very festive.
Thinking that the fifth lady was also dressed up when she got married, knowing that this was a regular bridal makeup, she couldn't help but smile.
The kitchen brought the food.
Eleven Niang took a big mouthful in her mouth as she had done when she married the fifth lady, and then spit it on the red paper in Mrs. Zhang's hand—Mrs. Zhang would split the rice she spit out in two, half of it on the Luo family's rice cabinet, and half of it was brought back by Mrs. Quanfu of the Xu family and placed on the Xu family's rice cabinet.
Don't know what this is exquisite?
As she pondered, the second wife and the third wife, the fourth wife, and the fifth lady walked in surrounded by their respective servants.
Grandma was busy beckoning several people to sit down.
Qiu Ju and Xinglin were busy making tea and pouring water.
Several people sat down, and the fourth lady looked at the eleventh lady and smiled: "Today is really beautiful!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled slightly and asked Fifth Niang, "Why didn't you see Sister Ten?" ”
The fifth lady skimmed her lips: "Mother sent someone to pick it up yesterday." Wang Lang said that there was something wrong, and it was only late when the banquet was opened just now. Ten Niang did not come at all. When her mother asked, Wang Lang only said that Ten Niang was uncomfortable. Ask again, and I'm a little impatient. There are many guests in the house, and the mother can't always stare at him and ask, right? ”
Eleven Niang sounded a little worried.
I hope it's Ten Niang who loses her temper and not something...
A little girl came to say, "It's time!" ”
Grandma led everyone to the table.
Qiu Ju took the blue and white porcelain box containing the ginseng pieces: "Miss, do you want to include one piece?" ”
Maybe I'm afraid that I'll have to go to the toilet on the way to the wedding, and I'll get up eleven in the morning? The rice was not stained, and the eldest lady only let Qiu Ju take the ginseng tablets she contained.
Eleven Niang shook her head, "No." I'm not hungry! ”
Two lifetimes as a person, or the first time to be a bride... She was a little nervous.
"Did you receive my copy of the Great Zhou Nine Domain Chronicles?" I want to see. ”
Qiu Ju could feel that the Eleventh Lady was a little tense, and rushed to find the book.
Eleven Niang was leaning on the kang near the window to read a book.
But I felt panicked in my heart, and I held the book in my hand, but I didn't read a word.
I put the book down, felt bored again, and picked it up again.
After half a day of repetition, the outside feast was also dispersed.
Some people stayed in the main courtyard to watch the liveliness, and some people came to sit in the eleventh lady's house.
The welcoming party came.
The third lady was busy pulling Luo Zhenkai with one hand and Luo Zhenyu with the other: "You give me to stay here honestly." ”
Although no one pursued them for the last incident, when they thought of the situation of the Tenth Lady at that time, they felt uncomfortable. The two were a lot more honest.
In the sound of firecrackers "crackling", Luo Zhenxing and several people symbolically begged for red envelopes and opened the door.
Xu Lingyi, dressed in a big red dress, walked in calmly.
Behind him were two young men with a modest look and a certain majesty.
Yu Yiqing was stunned and lost his voice: "King Shun, Fan Zongbing!" ”
Qian Ming listened and shivered.
King Shun's father was the younger brother of Emperor Xian, and King Shun was the cousin of the current emperor, the true son of the dragon and the grandson of Fengsun, who was in charge of the internal affairs office. Fan Weigang, whose name was Fan Weigang, was originally the emperor's personal bodyguard, who once followed Xu Lingyi through the Miao Rebellion, and is now the Zhengsanpin military general, Xuantong Commander-in-Chief.
That Fan Weigang had already grinned, "Today there are only those who greet relatives, there are no Shun Wang and Fan Zongbing!" ”
Luo Zhenxing muttered with some uneasiness, "This, how can this work..."
Xu Lingyi asked him, "Are you still used to it in the Hanlin Academy?" ”
Luo Zhenxing said respectfully, "I have grown a lot of insight. ”
Xu Lingyi nodded slightly, and said, "Lord Zhou and Lord Hu are both hongxue people, and it is both a rare fate and a rare opportunity for you to listen to the two adults talk about the feast..."
Someone next to him laughed and said, "Hou Ye, today is your big day." Or do you have to train again on a different day? ”
Both King Shun and Fan Weigang laughed.
Fan Weigang patted that shoulder: "Dude, what is the name?" ”
"Under Qian Ming, the characters are pure." Qian Ming smiled, "It's the fifth aunt of the Luo family." ”
King Shun smiled at Xu Lingyi, "Your company is very interesting!" ”
The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth were slightly cocked, and there was a hint of a smile.
Qian Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his smile became more and more peaceful: "It's not too early, my father-in-law is still waiting for Hou Ye to toast tea!" "Take the opportunity to lead them to the hall.
Xu Lingyi prostrated his head to the eldest master and went to the eldest lady's house according to the custom.
The eldest lady drank Xu Lingyijing's tea, said nothing, and handed a red envelope to Xu Lingyi. Xu Lingyi received the red packet, gave the eldest wife a salute, and returned to the hall. Qian Ming took a small wine cup to salute Xu Lingyi and put on the horse wine.
King Shun couldn't help but laugh, "Are you afraid of getting Hou Ye drunk?" Rest assured, he still has some alcohol! ”
Qian Ming nodded and said solemnly, "I also have pity for the same disease!" ”
It made everyone laugh.
The eldest master said, "It's not too early, let's kiss!" ”
Eleven Niang covered her head and couldn't see the scene outside, but when Luo Zhenxing carried her to the palanquin, she only heard the crackling of firecrackers, but did not hear the noisy laughter.
She thought of her first meeting with Xu Lingyi in the courtyard.
A bit of Tarzan collapsed in front of the face without changing color... But usually such people are a bit rigid and can't accept ridiculous words...
Eleven Niang's thoughts flashed, the palanquin had been lifted, the firecrackers sounded more intensely, and the gongs and drums were also beaten.
In the midst of the noise, the palanquin shook a little and began to walk forward.
With a sound of praise, Eleven Niang knew that she had left the Luo family's weeping flower gate, out of the gate, out of the alley... Then the sound of firecrackers gradually became inaudible, only the sound of gongs and drums.
Just left?
Eleven Niang suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Although that home made her feel suffocated, she really left, but there was a bit of nostalgia.
She subconsciously turned back.
It was still a bright red color in front of me.
The tears fell like that without warning.
I don't know how long it took, but she heard someone shouting, "Come, come..."
Then there was the deafening sound of firecrackers, which covered the sound of gongs and drums.
Eleven Niang hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then sat down with the treasure bottle in her arms.
The palanquin stopped, and Mrs. Quanfu of the Xu family helped her down the palanquin.
The cacophony of human voices, the noisy laughter, pounced on her, making her a little confused about the feeling of southeast and northwest. And the soft carpet under his feet gave people the impression that they had fallen into the splendid pile, and they couldn't find a place to exert their strength.
Eleven Niang crossed the saddle with some confusion, prayed to the church, and entered the new house.
The woman's whispers were tinged with the sound of the rings swaying.
A woman smiled and said, "Hou Ye, quickly pick the hijab, let's see the bride!" ”
The hijab on the head fell silently.
The silver light and snow-like lights made the corners of Eleven Niang's eyes flicker, and she only felt the pearl ring jade jade in the room, and Cai Xuan was brilliant.
"The bride is so beautiful..."
"White and pure, at first glance is a blessed ..."
Praise poured in like a tidal wave, and the eyes that shot at her were full of curiosity, scrutiny, measurement, doubt...
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look in the crowd eventually.
She saw Lady Weibei Houlin, Lady Zhongshan Houtang, Lady Zhongqin Bogan, And Lady Cheng Guogongqiao... I also saw Xu Lingyi standing by the bed.
He has a straight posture, a cold expression, and a calm look... There is not the slightest hint of joy or uneasiness that a groom should have.
Not knowing why, Eleven Niang suddenly calmed down.
She sat up straight, and Madame Quanfu came over and motioned for her to sit on the west side of the bed.
Xu's mother once said to her that this is called "being rich", and when the time comes, the people who make trouble will say some ridiculous words, let her never talk, do not move, after half an hour everyone will disperse on their own, and then you can drink hehuan wine.
Eleven Niang sat cross-legged on the west bed, and Madame Quanfu invited Xu Lingyi to sit on the east side of the bed.
Everyone in the room looked at them with a grin.
Eleven found that the women in the house were older, only two or three women in their twenties. Moreover, these women all wore flower noodles, at least six of the four pins of women, and the most of which were nine plants of one pin of women.
A small squatter ran in: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, the Holy Will has arrived." ”
A woman laughed and said, "But it's a coincidence, let's go to the flower hall and sit down!" ”
Eleven Niang looked over and saw that it was Lady Gan who was speaking.
Mrs. Gan gave her a slight nod to her.
Xu Lingyi then ordered Eleven Niang: "You wait for me for a while, I will go to change clothes." ”
Is he explaining his whereabouts to her?
Eleven Niang answered with a "yes.".
Mutual respect is a good start.
Two young men with clear eyebrows came forward to help Xu Lingyi change his official clothes, and the two of them came out of the new house one after the other.
Outside is a courtyard, lined with scribe verandas of various colors, brilliant lights and flowers.
Eleven Niang followed Xu Lingyi to the west, walked about a cup of tea, and arrived at a large courtyard.
The courtyard was brightly lit, Xu Lingyi was wearing a four-pin official uniform and was talking with an internal attendant, and the wife, the second lady, the third lady and the fifth lady were also waiting there according to the grade of makeup, and everyone was relieved to see Xu Lingyi and the eleventh lady.
The inner attendant smiled and said, "Hou Ye, are you all together?" Then our family will come to read the holy will. ”
Xu Lingyi said, "There are noble people", and took the lead in kneeling on the bluestone bricks in the courtyard.
The lady and the others knelt down.
Eleven Niang very consciously knelt at the end.
The servant opened the multicolored white cloud crane pattern and began to read the holy will
