Chapter 10 You Want to Live Well and Explain to Your Parents
"Oh..." Wen Huang's eyes turned around: "Then, I heard... the day after getting married, we have to test that... what's the name? Luohong! If not, we will be retired home! You, you must explain it to your parents."
Li Zhen: "...Where did you hear such nonsense?"
"Hmm? Isn't there any such rule?"
Is it not that the chastity of the bride is so important here?
Li Zhen: "Get up when dressed!"
"Oh." She took the clothes she took off last night and put them down again.
That's a wedding dress.
The girl started doing it since she was twelve or twelve, and embroidered it by herself with stitches and threads.
Although it is just an ordinary folk wedding dress, Wen Huang still admires the needlework and thread of the ancients. The flowers are so beautifully embroidered! They look good when worn on them.
But I can't wear it anymore today.
Although the Duke's Mansion was reluctant to marry her, it was a royal gift after all. Looking at it with so many eyes, they were completely following formal etiquette on the surface, and they were not ambiguous at all.
The day before the marriage, her aunt and her married elder sister came to the wedding room and placed her box and cages in it.
Wen Huang opened her box and looked at the clothes inside, the top, bottom, inside, outside, and colorful boxes. She was a little stunned for a moment.
It was summer when I came here, and I dressed less and the farmer was simple, so she could do it easily.
The clothes in this box are made of fabrics from the Li family’s betrothal gifts, with all kinds of silk and satin, which are completely different from those of the farmer’s cloth.
Moreover, due to the tight time, my elder sister used these fabrics to make clothes, and she packed them in the box without having time to take a look.
You can't wear the wrong clothes today. You're wearing the inside and the outside. It's so funny!
Wen Huang turned around and shouted, "Brother! I heard from my aunt that you are a wealthy family like you, dressing very carefully, and I don't understand. Can you teach me? Which one should I wear here and which one should I wear outside? How many pieces are appropriate? What flowers should I wear?"
Li Zhen replied: "You don't understand a woman, do I understand a man?"
Wen Huang: "Then find someone who understands it to teach me."
Li Zhen glanced at her and went out.
After a while, he brought a decently dressed and neat woman from her 40s, pointed at Wen Huang and said, "Mom Su, she will ask you!"
"Hey!" the woman responded and looked at Wen Huang.
Then, Wen Huang saw a stunning look in the eyes of this mother.
"Hello Mom Su!" Wen Huang gave her a curtsy that she had just learned before getting married, and said with a smile: "I am humble from a humble background and shallow in my knowledge. I have never been in contact with such a wealthy family. Today is the first time I have met my husband's family. I am afraid that there will be mistakes, so I will ask my mother to give me some advice."
I probably didn't expect that she was quite good at speaking. Then Mother Su showed some surprise, but she didn't say much. She nodded slightly and helped her dress and comb her hair after she washed up.
She was skilled in movements, obviously a veteran who often did these things. She quickly got it done and pointed to the side and said, "Okay, my wife can go and see if there is anything wrong."
Wen Huang then noticed that in the corner of the wardrobe, there was a bronze mirror wearing clothes. The square mirror was cast in exquisite patterns around it, decorated with honeysuckle and birds, and embedded in wooden screens. The production process was quite exquisite.
Wen Huang resisted the urge to hold it in his arms and looked at the person in the bronze mirror.
