Chapter 22 Marriage
The second brother came back last night. His face couldn't hide his fatigue, and tears flashed in his eyes when he saw me. He said, "I didn't expect to refute my mother before the New Year, and you married in less than a year."
At this time, the second brother stood behind me, with no color in his dark eyes, and his eyes seemed to be looking elsewhere. After I put on my makeup, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the gate, and the team came to welcome the marriage.
I stood up, and my second brother also stood up. I walked to me and took out a white hairpin from my sleeve. The tail of the hairpin was made of silver, and the pattern of the peony flower was inserted on my head. He said, "This is the eldest brother gave you. It took nearly a month to carve the jade he found in person. He said, "This is your flower soul, in your own heart."
I reached out and touched the hairpin on my head, which seemed to retain the temperature of the eldest brother's fingertips. The second brother said, "I'm afraid Shen Weijun won't give up. We should be very careful when we are not around you. If you have time to be around, don't expose it when you don't need it. The reason why I give you a girl is that you can't rely only on your existing strength. No matter how loyal our people are to you, they are still outsiders in the royal palace.
I clear that the second brother nodded and stopped talking in order to let me develop my confidant in the Six Kings' Mansion. There is already a happy woman urging outside the door. The second brother said, "There are a lot of silver tickets in the dowry. You'd better put them away by yourself. This is no better than our family. If you want to buy people, you must use money."
The second brother was still talking. I took my skirt and walked over and held the second brother in my arms. The temperature from him was as cold as him. I choked and said, "I will take good care of myself. For the sake of my eldest brother, second brother and my father, I will definitely protect myself."
The second brother sighed and nodded and patted me on the head and said, "If you encounter anything, please discuss it with Mu Xin. If she can't think of a way, let Xiaobai bring me a letter." When the second brother said this, I couldn't help but want to cry. The second brother pinched my nose and said, "When I was at home, I thought you were so annoying. You didn't look like a lady at all. Now that you are going to get married, you are a little reluctant to give up. Now that I think about it, my sister is different from those dull girls. Such naughty and cute is the true nature of life.
I laughed at what he said, and it was the first time I heard my second brother talk to me in such a tone. However, he immediately said, "Kindness is good, but you can't be too tolerant. People will take an inch."
I nodded, and the door of my mother-in-law knocked more and more tightly. The second brother took a look and stepped forward to open the door. The mother-in-law came in with a smile and said, "Your Highness, the second son of the princess, the auspicious time has arrived and please get on the sedan chair." With that, I walked to me. I held my second brother's hand on my mother-in-law's broad back and walked out of the Royal Pavilion for half a month steadily step by step.
The big red cover embroidered with the neck of the mandarin duck moved, and I saw the white hair that could not be concealed in the black silk of Xi Po. You can also smell the faint fragrance of her body, which is the fragrance of orchids, light and far away.
The sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs clearly told me that I am getting married now. Tomorrow I will no longer be alone, and I will also carry a family and a responsibility on my shoulders. In fact, I have a responsibility on my shoulders that I don't care about adding one more, but what puzzles me is that I can bear all the responsibilities now and can I bear my love?
After getting on the sedan chair, the sedan chair walked steadily and ran to the direction of the Six Kings Palace. And the young man riding a white horse in front of the sedan chair is my husband, and I will accompany him for the rest of my life. I was confused for just a moment, and I smiled happily. No matter what the future is, no matter what the result is, I will be with him.
However, beautiful things come too simply and suddenly, and there are often more painful twists and turns behind them. If I can predict the future, or if I can guess a little later, I won't regret it.
The marriage customs in Vietnam are cumbersome and complicated. I worshiped the world with fear. Shen Weijun did not come to snatch the marriage as she said. I was a little uncertain for a moment. She didn't look like she scared me yesterday. However, after Jun Yu and I led the big red silk into the bridal chamber, she did not appear. I was relieved and raised my heart at the same time.
As a bride, I must be nervous, and I also have uneasiness and imagination in my heart. I will never relax when today has not passed, because Shen Weijun may disturb my bridal chamber candles at any time.
And tonight, the wedding night may not be successful.
The moment the big red cover was picked up, I looked straight at Jun Yu. His eyes were deep and far away, as if they had touched a place I could never reach. There is a little loss in my heart. At least, it is only once in my life that I am so beautiful, but I can never get into his eyes.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was a little happy. Maybe he didn't want his first wedding to be too serious. I raised a shy smile, sat at the big red round table with him, and took the wine glass handed over by the wedding mother-in-law: wine.
I don't know if it's because of my young age that there is sweet fruit wine in the glass. After drinking the wine, the mother-in-law came over and put the cups one up and one down. They all called it a good omen, which means that the sky and the earth are turned upside down and the harmony of yin and yang.
Another woman came over with a pair of scissors tied with red rope and pulled off a wisp of my long hair, cut off his ray, and tied the husband and wife. While saying auspicious words, the mother-in-law tied her hair into a concentric knot, which means that the hundred-year-old good contract is united, and then put it in a dragon and phoenix purse and put it in the middle of the sleeping pillow.
After the ceremony, I sat in ** and waited for him. He went to the house without looking back to deal with the guests who came to the wedding. His back is as straight as I saw six months ago, as if it would not collapse on a mountain. It's ridiculous that I feel that I am that mountain.
He came over and whispered, "Princess, would you like something to eat?"
Princess? I was slightly stunned. Yes, I'm his wife now, so as long as I don't make mistakes, he has no reason to abandon me. So, what am I worried about? I like him and want to stay by his side. Regardless of the ethereal woman or Shen Weijun, I only want to be his wife.
I shook my head and smiled, "When the prince comes back, let's use it together. You go and tell the kitchen to get some sobering soup."
Muxin should take the initiative to bend his knees and turn around and retreat. He said vaguely, "Princess, please take care of yourself so that you can have a baby." The girl didn't know where to hear this sentence. She said it with a red face, but I looked a little confused.
birth and breeding? Didn't Junyu mean that he wouldn't have sex with me that day? So neither of us will have children! I sat up straight, my thoughts drifted away, and fell on Junyu, who was drunk with some palace ministers.
I've been waiting for him all night, and I don't know when I fell asleep on the edge of the bed. The sobering soup on the table had already lost a trace of heat, and the two faintly rested outside, and I waited silently all night like this.
How long the night was, I have never felt it so clearly. I spent the night in my bridal chamber alone, but my husband doesn't know where the six royal palaces are. Afraid of vague worries, I took off the heavy Feng Guanxia and cleaned it myself, and the bed was deliberately messed up. It shows that I can sleep peacefully without him.
Sure enough, I vaguely knew that Junyou didn't return all night on his wedding night, but I fell asleep with peace of mind. There are still a lot of things to do this morning, and no one has to worry about some small things. From today, I won't see Xiaobai for at least half a month. When the second brother left, he said that Xiaobai had been assigned a task by him.
I don't know how pitiable Xiaobai has become a second brother since.
Today, I still wear a big red palace gauze. Because it is going to be winter, I changed from light gauze to palace brocade cotton yarn, thick nine-fold. I like the number nine, and she will remind me of the word 'long-lasting'.
Because she is already a woman, I can no longer comb the girl's bun. He took a lady's cloud bun, inserted the peony flower hairpin carved by the eldest brother and decorated it with golden bean ding. It was luxurious and did not lose its identity, but it was not too gorgeous. He abruptly suppressed the tackiness of the big red gauze skirt, and his whole body looked red and happy, without losing the spirit of immortality.
When you opened the door, there was already a group of people standing outside the door, and there were about 100 men and women. These people are all servants of the six royal palaces. Seeing that no one dared to look at me when I came out, I knelt down abruptly and greeted the princess. Everyone's movements turned into an amazing momentum that came straight to my face.
If I had taken their action before I was eight years old, I would definitely jump, but since I saw the face given to me by the emperor of the State of Wu, I have nothing to be afraid of. I think there is anything terrible in the world that can scare the face of the previous emperor?
So, with a decent smile, I waved my hand and said, "Faling body." Everyone stood up again, and there was no momentum as before.
A young man in a long cyan gown came over and said respectfully, "The general manager of the Six Kings Mansion is Chunyu Zheng."
I nodded with a smile and said, "I've met Chunyu's housekeeper. I'm new here. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope you can mention it." My words are very polite and I don't take him as a person at all. And he has a righteous face and should be very loyal.
Chunyuzheng quickly arched his hand and said, "The princess is too arrogant." After saluteing, he turned to the two girls in green dresses behind him and said to me, "This is the maidservant that the prince pointed out to the princess, Mei Yulanqing."
Mei Yulanqing came forward to salute. Chunyu Zheng said, "These two are bamboo chrysanthemum silk, and they are the prince's personal maidservant." He said, "The lady who often follows the prince must have known it, and I won't introduce it one by one." With that, he pointed out that the remaining 100 people gave me a general introduction to the position, which gave me a vague impression.
I asked Mu Xin to send out the red envelopes she had prepared for a long time and smiled, "In the future, we will be people living in a house. Everyone can do whatever they usually do. Don't be restrained by my arrival. What about me! As long as you eat well and drink well, and nothing else is selected.
Someone laughed in the crowd and said, "Aren't you a princess? How can it be like this..." I also knew that there was no tutor or anything when he didn't finish his next sentence.
