The first day of March came in the blink of an eye. The night before her wedding, Qingrong couldn't sleep. She just felt that the past few months in Yongcheng were like a dream. She was going to get married so soon. She sighed with emotion.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She didn't expect any kind of conjugal love, she just wanted to treat Xue Shao as a respectful guest and live a stable life. She didn't know how Siniang was doing in the palace...
For Qingrong's wedding, Siniang specially asked the Queen to allow her to leave the palace to send her sister to get married. Siniang returned home, and the family finally got together again.
After finishing the meal, Siniang went to Qingrong's room to look for her again. Seeing Qingrong, Siniang could feel at ease and let go of her guard and vigilance. She felt at ease. She took Qingrong and talked about what happened these days.
thing.
Siniang smiled and said: "Look at me, I'm just talking about myself. As for my sister, my life is going well these days. How have you learned about purchasing and settling accounts, dealing with favors, and being a housekeeper?"
Qingrong shook her head and said: "It's quite passable. These things are really trivial, but they are more tiring than studying with my husband. But my mother-in-law said that I won't be exposed to these things so quickly when I get married, and I will only learn a few things roughly. In the future,
You can learn it yourself.”
"What about your dowry? My mother-in-law has prepared it for you?"
Qingrong couldn't help but laugh: "It's all ready, don't worry about it."
"When I came back this time, I also brought gifts from Her Royal Highness the Queen and the Concubine Xian. They are all to celebrate your wedding, sister. You see." Si Niang pulled Qingrong and said without hiding her excitement. She opened a wooden box and opened it.
As soon as the box was opened, a gleaming gold light flashed out, and inside was a pair of golden silk double dragons playing with beads bracelets. The pair of bracelets were made of gold, with exquisite silk craftsmanship. The dragon body was hollow, and the inner layer of the gold bracelet was engraved with exquisite patterns.
, the upper and lower edges of this bracelet are inlaid with two circles of tiny gold beads. The materials and craftsmanship used alone are enough to show its preciousness and luxury.
Qingrong was flattered and said hurriedly: "Isn't this gift too precious?"
Of course Siniang knew, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that it would look good if my sister wore this. "I just think this is the right match for my sister. Sister, you are getting married today, so you will wear this soon."
." After saying that, he opened the wooden box, took out the pair of bracelets, and put them on Qingrong's hands.
Qingrong looked at the pair of bright and precious gold bracelets on her wrists. She had some complicated and unspeakable feelings, and was not at ease. She was a little absent-minded for a moment. She said: "It's a little heavy..."
Siniang smiled and said, "Yes, but real money and silver naturally have some weight."
Qingrong's face was white, and this golden bracelet made her wrists as slender as snow. Si Niang held Qingrong's hand and admired it for a while, and said happily: "It seems that I really have good taste."
Qingrong couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "You."
Siniang pretended to sigh and said, "Originally, my brother-in-law couldn't easily let go of the wedding. We need to call more women to come and have a good show with the groom. It's a pity that I just came back today and couldn't arrange these."
, Xue Silang got the advantage for nothing."
Qingrong didn't know there was such a link, so he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You also know that he is so tall, how can you little girls tease him?"
Si Niang told all the tricks she had seen at previous wedding banquets, which made Qing Rong couldn't help but laugh, and the two of them laughed.
The Lu family has been busy all afternoon, wishing they could wipe the tables and desks at home so that they can be reflective, but Qingrong, the bride, has nothing to do. She can only wait for dusk to arrive, and when it is almost time, she will
Go take a shower and dress up.
Qingrong looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyebrows were calm, and her heart was not without any disturbance. She had a few strange emotions, but she didn't understand what they were. Si Niang entered the room and said: "Sister, now
It's already sunset, and they will arrive in about a while."
Qingrong wanted to nod, but then she remembered that her head was surrounded by pearls and emeralds and was very heavy. She was afraid that it would make a clanging noise if she moved even slightly, so she had to change her words and said: "I know."
When Qingrong put on the last gold and jade hairpin, she could hardly lift her head up due to the weight of the jewelry. Si Niang smiled and said, "Sister, I am really rich and gorgeous today, but also very beautiful."
At this time, a group of female relatives in the room who came from nowhere also responded and said: "Yes, yes, I think it is like this fairy descended to the earth. Mr. Xue is really lucky."
After everyone was laughing and joking, they heard someone outside chanting: "The peach blossoms are blooming, the house is suitable for the house, there is good luck and celebration, and the life is prosperous. The two surnames are in love, and they make a contract together. A man marries a woman, and a good marriage will last forever."
Now with the white-headed promise, I write to Hong Jian, and I hope to make a red-leaf alliance and record the mandarin duck genealogy."
Azhen came in from outside with an excited expression: "Sanniang, they are here!" Some of the female relatives burst into laughter and were making a fuss about going out to play with the groom. Not knowing what was going on outside, they let out a roar of laughter. Sanniang also ran in with a face on her face.
His face turned red with embarrassment, and there was a smile on his lips...
At this time, the door suddenly opened with a "squeak". Qingrong looked over slightly and saw that the person who came was wearing a wedding robe like her, with a crown of jade on his head and a jade belt. He was already tall and looked even more handsome.
Extraordinary.
Xue Shao took long strides, even the steps he took seemed to be high-spirited. He stepped forward and walked to Qingrong. His eyes straightened for a moment. She looked really beautiful today.
There were some female relatives nearby who laughed and said, "Didn't the groom look straight at her? Why don't you pick up the bride quickly? There will be many opportunities to see her in the future." After saying this, the whole room burst into laughter again.
Xue Shao stretched out his hand to help her up, his eyes deep.
Qingrong suddenly felt that she was a little unsteady on her feet. Before she could react, Songyue, Yunniang and others immediately hugged her forward and covered her face with a round fan.
At this time, Lu Wenzhong and Wang also came over. After Xue Shao and Qing Rong performed the worship ceremony in a formal manner, everyone helped Qing Rong up with a smile. Wang and Lu Wenzhong also warned them, wishing they could
It’s better to tell them all the things that should be paid attention to at all times. After a while, the noise outside became louder and louder.
Mrs. Wang was reluctant to let go of Lu Qingran's hand. Tears filled her eyes at this moment. Her words of advice and instructions could only be condensed into one sentence, "Sanniang, I have nothing to worry about your mother-in-law."
, but you must also take good care of yourself."
Si Niang was also enthused by the sight, and stepped forward to persuade her: "Okay, today is my sister's big day, so we should be happy."
Mrs. Wang wiped away tears and nodded, "Yes, yes. You should be happy today."
Looking at her parents' eyes full of comfort and reluctance, Qingrong felt sour in her heart. For a moment, she didn't want to walk out of this door. She said: "Don't worry, grandpa and grandma, you must also cherish it."
At this time, even Xue Shao, who was clumsy and tongue-tied, knew how to follow suit and said comfortingly: "Please rest assured, father-in-law and mother-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely treat Sanniang well in the future and prevent her from being wronged."
Although Lu Wenzhong didn't say much, his eyes were full of reluctance. With tears in the corners of his eyes, he said earnestly: "I hope you two can remember what you said today and put it into practice instead of empty words."
"Good boy, let's go." Wang nodded, patted Qingrong with her warm hand, and said.
Songyue and Azhen were holding lamps in front of them, Qingrong was holding a fan to cover her face, and Si Niang was helping her out. In front of the carriage for the wedding, there were several men riding horses, all relatives of the Xue family, one of them
He has a dignified appearance, a jade-like face, and an outstanding temperament. He seems to have been looking in the direction of Qingrong, giving him a gentle smile, which is just right.
Qingrong felt strange, but didn't think much about it. She just listened to Siniang say: "Sister, I will send you here."
Qingrong looked at Siniang's smile, her eyes were hot, as if she had thousands of words to say, but in the end it only turned into a smile of relief and determination, "Don't worry."
After she got on the carriage and sat down, Xue Shao also got on the horse. After everyone made a fuss, the carriage slowly drove forward. The carriage swayed, and after an unknown amount of time, it arrived at Xue Mansion. Guining County
The palace was brightly lit, and a maid came forward to help Qingrong get out of the carriage, and covered her with a fan. After Qingrong stepped on the mat and stepped over the saddle, she finally arrived in the yard.
The courtyard was already bustling with relatives and friends of the Xue family. Qingrong was among the noise. After the prayers, she entered the green hut in the corner of the courtyard. And the laughter also came in with her.
After the husband and wife bowed to each other, Qingrong was helped up and sat down on the bed safely, facing the female relatives gathered in front. The people in front were seen throwing peanuts, red dates, colorful fruits, and copper coins at them.
The copper coin hit her body like this, and it really hurt. She glanced at the person next to her. Fortunately, she had a fan to cover her body, but he had no cover, but he seemed not to notice the pain at all.
Instead, he laughed. Seeing his appearance, Qingrong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then calmly withdrew his gaze.
After throwing away the fruits, Qingrong took off the round fan. There was a burst of applause and laughter around her. Someone laughed and said, "The bride is really beautiful."
"That's right, just like this beauty." Some people laughed at Xue Shao's good fortune, while others praised the two of them for being a good match. For a moment, laughter filled their ears. Qingrong felt shy after hearing this, but the man next to her smiled even deeper.
After finishing the meal in the same prison and drinking the wine, the two sat side by side on the bed. The servants brought a clean silver basin and a bronze mirror. The women helped Qingrong take off the heavy pearl hairpin wedding dress.
, she was relieved. It would be better if the person next to her stopped staring at her all the time.
In the swaying candlelight, the gauze curtains were lowered one by one, the voices of people gradually faded away, and the surroundings slowly returned to silence. Qingrong suddenly became nervous, until the last candlelight was blown out, and everything in the darkness became silent.
Being infinitely magnified, it is breathing, heartbeat...
"Does it hurt?" A warm, dry, calloused big hand covered the back of her hand, and she paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, "What?"
His voice was low and slow, falling on Qingrong's ears, "Did it hurt you just now?"
Qingrong shook his head and realized that he couldn't see clearly, so he said: "Fortunately, it was blocked by the fan, so it didn't hit the real place." If it hurt, it seemed like it was him, right? There was an uncomfortable feeling all over his body.
Increasingly intense, Qingrong wanted to pull her hand back, but Xue Shao held it firmly and refused to let go.
"you…"
"You..." The two of them started speaking at the same time, then stopped.
Qingrong was startled and didn't know what to say. Xue Shao didn't speak. After a while, Qingrong said: "Let's... take a rest."
There was no emotion in Xue Shao's tone. He said "hmm" and then he came close to Qingrong. He reached out to untie Qingrong's clothes.
Qingrong knew that sooner or later she would reach this point, and it made no difference whether it was sooner or later, but she... was really afraid.
After a kiss, for a moment, it seemed as if the air was stagnant, as if Xue Shao couldn't feel anything except the touch on his lips, "Are you afraid?"
Qingrong's eyelashes trembled slightly and she hummed softly.
Xue Shao looked at her face through the thin moonlight and couldn't help but kiss her. His kiss slid from Qingrong's forehead, to the tip of her nose, and then to her soft lips. He seemed to dislike this action.
Feeling uncomfortable, he directly lifted Qingrong onto his lap.
Qingrong's scalp was numb and she endured it silently.
