On the day of the wedding, Aunt Rong picked her up from the couch before dawn. I rubbed my sleepy eyes, glanced at her, lay back on the couch, and hummed: "It's not like we're marrying all the way away, but it's just...
It’s just around the corner from the house, and I’m going to worship in the evening. What are you doing up so early? Let me sleep a little longer.”
Naturally, Aunt Rong refused. She pulled the quilt away from my hands and scolded her with a straight face: "I'm not in a hurry to dress up, but you are going to be someone's wife soon. Naturally, you won't be able to sleep if you are too lazy. You have to get up early to get married."
There are rules in the house, but you can no longer be as willful as you were when you were a girl."
Then he yelled at the maid standing outside the door, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you bring the face wash in quickly?"
The ones who came in were not the little girl, but Chun Zhu and Qiu Ju. One was holding a basin and the other was holding a towel. They blessed me slightly and said with red eyes: "I will not be lucky enough to be with the princess in the future."
Now, let me serve the princess once more."
Chunqiu and Qiuju have been waiting for me since I returned to Beijing from the border. I have been very good at using it. We should have brought them to Murong's house together, but they are not young and have been engaged for a long time, so they insist on staying with me.
, but it seemed that my master was being unkind, so he returned the deed to them and promised to let me go after I got married. As for the dowry, Aunt Rong also selected four first-class maids and eight little maids for me.
They are all sons of the family in the mansion, they are both honest and reliable.
It seemed that I couldn't sleep, so I had to sit up with yawning, let them help me wash up, and picked out two gold hairpins and two gold bracelets from the dressing box. The two of them quickly waved their hands and refused: "Princess, give it to us."
Your dowry is very rich, we are already extremely grateful, and we must not take any more of your things."
I forced it into their hands and said: "You have been with me for so long, so you should know my temper. What you don't like the most is these gold and silver. If you leave them here, they are just idle.
If it comes out too ostentatiously, then mince it and keep it at the bottom of the box. Don’t let your husband’s family know that your daughter’s family will always have some private money with them. If you leave a way out, everything can be calm.”
Chunzhu and Qiuju thought for a moment and finally understood what I meant. They kowtowed to me solemnly and accepted it with tears in their eyes.
.
After breakfast, four blessed women came to my house to twist my face and comb my hair. The process was extremely cumbersome. Almost every action was accompanied by an auspicious word, which made my ears ring.
, if it were normal times, I would have kicked them out as soon as I ran out of patience, but today I am in a very good mood, and I don’t bother to argue with them.
After cleaning up, it was already noon, and Aunt Rong asked someone to take them down for a meal. I didn’t have much appetite, so I just drank a bowl of ginseng soup, leaned on the soft couch and took a nap for a while, when I heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the room.
Wake up.
Not long after, the four Quanfu ladies rushed in and helped me change my wedding dress. Because it was already the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, the fire basin inside the house was very warm, but outside it had been cloudy for days and snow had fallen, and the temperature was very low.
The outer layer of the third floor was 30%, and there were many items ranging from inner clothes to jackets to cloaks. Several busy people were sweating profusely. One of the women gasped and said: "I only ate half a bowl of rice when I heard the spring sound."
Miss Zhu said that the wedding procession had arrived at the door, which frightened us old ladies and we quickly lost our jobs and ran here. Tsk, tsk, once the princess put this dowry on her body, she looked like a fairy-like figure from the painting, no wonder our uncle
It’s so impatient.”
Qiu Ju poked her finger at the side and scolded her with a smile: "What a bold woman, you dare to make fun of the prince of the Hou family. If you look carefully, our princess will tear your mouth open."
The old lady pretended to be scared and shrank her shoulders, bowing to me and begging for mercy: "Mother, I like to tell the truth. The princess has a lot of people, but don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Although I have heard a lot of flattery today, the more the merrier. I pursed my lips and said with a smile: "You have said all the good things, what do you want others to say? Come on, I will definitely reward you later."
After Aunt Rong arranged the wedding team, she went to the inner courtyard to urge her. When she saw the situation, she said, "Just do what you have to do. Don't talk about it. You will be in trouble if the time is delayed."
The women didn't dare to mess around anymore and quickly helped me sort out my wedding dress, put on my shoes, put on the heavy phoenix crown and jewelry, and put on the red hijab. Aunt Rong checked it several times carefully and found that nothing was missing.
This returns to the front yard.
.
The drum music that had stopped started beating again, getting closer and closer. I was originally in a relaxed mood, but gradually became nervous. My hands under my sleeves were clasped tightly, trembling slightly, until someone took my hands, and then I
Soaring into the air, I lay down on a broad back. The familiar and peaceful breath passed into my nose, and my heart suddenly felt at ease.
"The bride is getting on the sedan!" In Xi Niang's sharp voice, Murong Qingfeng carried me on the sedan. When exiting, he patted my back gently with his hand and whispered softly: "Don't be nervous, I'm here with you.
here I am."
I couldn't see his face through the hijab, so I just nodded slightly when I heard the words. I was moved but also a little sad. In the first life, the person I loved refused to marry me, and I unfortunately drowned and couldn't wear it.
The wedding dress was put on the wedding car. In the second life, Ouyang Zhimo had already married Shen Zimo. Although he finally went through all kinds of hardships and got together with Yin Zhichuan, his playboy temperament would never care about such secular things as a wedding. So he traveled through two lives.
, an old monster who has lived to my age, did not expect that it would be the first time for a grown-up girl to get on the sedan chair, and it was difficult not to be nervous.
Although Cheng and the Murong family lived next to each other, it would be a bit shabby if the sedan chair was carried in directly, so the sedan chair followed Murong Qingfeng's wishes and walked around the capital before entering.
It was sunny after the snow, a rare good weather. I quietly lifted a corner of my hijab and looked outside. The faint sunset hung over the Western Mountains, casting a golden halo on the red tiles and white walls of the capital. There were long lines under the eaves.
The ice reflected the crystal light. Children after school were running on the wide bluestone road carrying cloth bags. The vendors on both sides were shouting hard, and smoke was rising from the roofs of several houses in the distance.
I have seen countless scenery of the capital, including spring, summer, autumn, winter, morning, noon, dusk, and midnight. There has never been a time when I felt that life
It's so beautiful and touching. The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. In fact, it's not the scenery that changes, but people's hearts.
The road in my life is still very long. After this scenery, there will be other scenery. However, in the scenery in the future, no matter whether it is miserable or joyful, I will no longer be alone.
