“Once you comb your hair, you don’t have to worry about wealth;
If you comb your hair with two combs, you will be free from disease and worry;
If you comb your hair three times, you will have more children and a longer life;
Then comb your comb to the end, raise your case and even your eyebrows;
The two combs are combed to the tail, and they fly together together;
Three combs are combed to the end, and the knot will always be tied together;
There is a beginning and a tail, and we will be rich and noble together in this life! "
The ninth day of March was an auspicious day chosen by Wei Huan himself. Ruiyu Hall was renovated and decorated with flowers. Hundreds of flowers and flowers were moved into the Frost Garden overnight, as if the glow from the sky had been cut off and spread into the human world.
An aunt of the Wei clan, Qian, who has both children and parents, and who is loving and harmonious with her husband, was invited to comb Wei Changying's hair. The ivory-embedded comb was combed down from the crow-wing-like hair, like running on the finest silk. The same thing as before... She was urged to get up before dawn to take a bath and change clothes. Several maids took turns to take the handkerchief and twist it. Now it is still slightly moist, and the toothbrush is very smooth.
One comb, two combs, three combs...
Along with the singing of several aunts and grandmothers who were also recognized as blessed, Qian deftly arranged a woman's hair for the guard chief Ying - like heavy dark clouds, symmetrically piled up on both sides of the snow cheeks. Compared with before, The often-combed double whorl, single whorl, and parted hair styles express a delicate and lively look, and women's buns look more stable and graceful.
Qian took a comb and dipped it in water, then licked a strand of hair behind her ears. She took two steps back and looked carefully to see if there were any omissions. At this moment, black hair and no makeup, the contrast is strong, which further highlights the beauty of Wei Chang Ying's appearance. Just like the dewy roses in the garden, they are delicate and bright. The brilliance of youth that cannot be concealed is mixed with the shy and sweet breath of a newlywed woman. The color is radiant, scorching and bright, which makes people almost dizzy. See.
Everyone admired together, Qian calmed down, took the silk thread handed to him on the plate, and continued to open his face. Under such a cumbersome and cumbersome ceremony with layers of blessings and care, Wei Changying was still a little afraid of leaving home at first. However, after a while, she had no other thoughts except trying to hold on...
A newlywed's hairpin ring is always the heaviest and most numerous. The Wei family is rich and noble, and everything is made of real gold and pure silver. Just a corolla made of pure red gold wire, studded with various jewelry, and with a peony flower made of hundreds of pearls in the middle, weighs several kilograms. After Wei Changying was put on, apart from turning left and right, he couldn't even lower his head or raise his head. He couldn't help but sigh: "Thanks to me, not only my body is softer, but my neck is not crushed by it!" "
Mr. He had lost both her husband and her son. Although she was also included in the dowry and was a wet nurse, she did not appear today and had gone away early. Mr. Huang who answered the call at this moment smiled broadly: "Not everyone can bear the blessing of such a head full of pearls and hairpins. The fact that the eldest lady can resist it just shows that the eldest lady has a noble destiny and is born to be incomparable to others. "
Wei Changying thought to himself, are I talking about other ladies with similar status, but not like me who have practiced martial arts since childhood? It's just that a day like today is not suitable for small talk, so I stopped talking.
All the people in the room followed Huang and agreed.
At this time, Mrs. Song didn't have time to come over to see her. As usual, the sisters came to accompany her first. However, among the ladies of the Wei family, Wei Changxian, the second daughter of the Jingping Palace, was a widow, so she did not come with the excuse that she was afraid of bumping into her cousin and having to look after the heir. As for Ruiyu Hall, Wei Changying himself had no relatives. The two sisters, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan, were estranged before, but now that they are here, they don't dare to talk.
The Qian family who was invited was not from the sect. Although she was an elder, she naturally did not dare to act like an aunt. I also saw that Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan, the two young ladies from the sect, did not speak. Except for the auspicious words that were necessary, she did not speak much, for fear of accidentally causing trouble and offending the sect.
Therefore, the Xianshuang Court was not very lively - this was not good, and Mrs. Huang couldn't help but become anxious when she saw it, but she mentioned it a few times, and everyone agreed for a while, but she didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Huang also signaled to Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan, but these two sisters, not to mention the estrangement from Wei Changying, are now afraid to say anything. Even if there is no estrangement, they themselves are not eloquent people. Huang was winking at him repeatedly, but he became more and more frightened, and could hardly sit still.
Fortunately, Wei Changmo arrived.
This sixth lady was born to be a lively person, and she probably only failed once in front of Song Zaishui, and that was because she didn't know Song Zaishui's taboos.
As soon as she came and stepped through the door, she widened her eyes first, raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and looked at Wei Changying for a moment, and then in the midst of everyone's questioning, she pointed at her cousin and shouted: "Isn't this the Nine Heavens Xuannv? Why is it my third sister? Don’t be mistaken!”
Everyone laughed and followed her words and praised Wei Changying's beauty. Then Wei Changmo said to Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan: "The fourth sister and the fifth sister are the same. They will be here tomorrow to watch the third sister dress up." When he got up, he saw that I was frightened and didn’t say anything. He just looked at me and acted inappropriately!
When she said this, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan quickly confessed. Wei Chang'e used the excuse that she came late and asked about Wei Changying's makeup experience. Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan were relieved when she asked her question, and hurriedly told her in detail.
Wei Changying also found an opportunity to joke back and said, "Chang'e, if you ask so carefully, could it be that you will have a basis for remembering your own experiences in the future?"
Wei Chang'e was naturally eloquent, and was not afraid of her cousin's teasing at all. Instead, she said with a smile: "Who has never left the cabinet? Besides, as sisters, who can we learn from if we don't learn from my elder sister? What's more, my elder sister has a noble birth and is talented. She is both beautiful and married to a good son-in-law, which shows that she is born with good luck. Isn’t it possible that everything she does now is filled with luck
"Look at our Sixth Miss's mouth." Mrs. Huang couldn't help but laughed sincerely and said, "My maid has not gone to say hello to Sixth Miss in the past few days. I didn't expect our Wei family to have such a wonderful Miss Sixth." Man, he really speaks like a lotus, and his witty words come out like pearls!”
Wei Chang'e had never met the Huang family before, but she had vaguely heard of Huang's status. At this moment, she said: "Aunt Huang, you're welcome. My sisters are all dignified and quiet. I am the only one who relies on my younger age. I don’t have any scruples, I just say whatever comes to my mind. It’s because my sisters love me and don’t care about me!”
Wei Changying laughed out loud and said: "Duanzhuang Zhenjing said that the fourth and fifth sisters are about the same, but I also like to make trouble." What a day it has been like, and you are still trying to undermine yourself! Huang gave her a dumbfounded look.
"The third sister is so heroic!" Fortunately, Wei Chang'e immediately said with a smile, "Unlike me, I am just playful."
She brought Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan in to talk together, "Fourth sister and fifth sister, do you think so?"
Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan said hurriedly: "Three sisters are both civil and military, and none of us are as good as us." They also said about Wei Chang'e, "Chang'e is innocent and lively, and she is also very cute. We sisters are the most useless, just two pieces of wood. , I don’t know what to say today, I hope my third sister Yuan You.”
Wei Chang'e smiled innocently and said: "After seeing the third sister and Aunt Huang, I will say that the fourth sister and the fifth sister are both dignified, quiet and humble people. They praised us all, but they said they were useless." "
"The fourth sister and the fifth sister are excellent at needlework, and they are gentle and quiet." Wei Changying smiled lightly and said, "What the sixth sister said is that there are no outsiders here, and so is Aunt Twenty-one. Why do my two sisters have to be so humble?"
Qian said with a smile: "The ladies of our Wei family are all talented and beautiful ladies of the world—does it need to be said? Even if you say something bad to the outside world, someone must believe it!"
"Aunt Twenty-one couldn't be more right!" Wei Chang'e rolled her dark eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I will tell my mother what aunt said later, so that she won't always blame me for not being quiet enough!"
- Because of Wei Chang'e's arrival, the Shuangting Courtyard finally became lively. When Mrs. Song took the time to come over, she listened to the people in the room talking excitedly, and the reluctance and sadness in her heart were relieved a lot.
At this time, Wei Changying was almost dressed up, but he was still wearing a homely dress. After all, the corolla hairpin was already very heavy, and the matching dress was also very heavy. Mrs. Song came in and saw her daughter bathing in the spring light with her hair in a woman's bun and her hair full of pearls. She was really bright and beautiful. She was extremely proud of her daughter's beauty but reluctant to part with it. She couldn't help but think of the time when she left the court. At that time, I was thinking about my cousin who was frail and sick but had great grace. Although I was made red-faced by my sisters and sisters-in-law while dressing up, I was looking forward to coming over as soon as possible to accompany my cousin.
At that time, her mother, the old lady of the Song family, walked in to talk to her, and finally hugged her and cried. Although Mrs. Song also cried with her, she didn't feel very sad because she missed her cousin. It was not until after the marriage that Mrs. Song took care of Wei Zhenghong and thought of her hometown Jiangnan and her parents... only then could she realize her mother's reluctance and concern.
However, Wei and Song have been married for generations, and Mrs. Song is still marrying her cousin, and her mother-in-law is her direct cousin. Not to mention deliberately making her angry, no matter what she thinks, she will only deliberately favor her. So she has no fear about leaving the cabinet.
Now it's Mrs. Song's turn to marry her daughter. Because of her daughter's marriage far away and the turmoil last year, she is even more reluctant and concerned about her than the old Mrs. Song was.
Until this step, one cannot fully understand the feelings of motherhood - the sadness of having nothing to do for many years, the hardship of ten-month pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, the joy and extreme cherishment of seeing the eldest daughter crying in her infancy - Mrs. Song I clearly remember that I was extremely weak after giving birth, but I refused to drink the soup and fall asleep. I wanted to see my first child with my own eyes. When she saw her daughter, whose face was still red and crying with her eyes closed, she didn't even know where the strength came from. She pushed Aunt Shi and others away, climbed down to the ground, knelt on the footrest and kowtowed heavily on her head. Go down and sincerely thank heaven.
Seventeen years of treating her like a treasure, seventeen years of caring for her day and night, seventeen years of teaching her earnestly - the sad thing is, "the maid does not need to be threatened, she will inevitably belong to his family after all."
When Mrs. Song came in, everyone stopped laughing and greeted her. Seeing that she was looking at Wei Changying, they all praised Wei Changying. However, Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes. !
Everyone knew that she loved her daughter, so they were not surprised and they all tried to comfort her. Aunt Shi smiled and said: "Today is a good day for the eldest lady. What's more, my uncle and the eldest lady are of the same family. They are also a good husband who is capable of both literary and military skills and has a generous temperament. It can be said that they are a match made in heaven. It is no wonder that the lady is crying with joy!"
Mrs. Huang said: "Isn't it? But the more this happens, the happier Madam should be. Just now, my maid thought that Madam would be smiling from ear to ear when she came in!"
"Just because our eldest lady looks so beautiful after putting on makeup, Madam would be grinning from ear to ear!" Aunt Shi said with a smile, "Who can treat such a beautiful bride like a pearl? The eldest lady has always been loved in our family, and in my opinion, the eldest lady will be even more favored after she comes out of the cabinet."
Mrs. Song was made to laugh and burst into tears at what they said. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, choked with sobs and called everyone to sit down. She cried and laughed and said: "That's the truth... It's just that I am just a daughter, and now I have to marry far away. There is always something in my heart..."
Seeing that Wei Changying was about to cry, Mrs. Song hurriedly pinched herself secretly, held back forcefully, and coaxed, "Good boy, stop crying quickly. You are going out today, so you don't want to have fun."
Afraid that Wei Changying would continue to cry, he hurriedly said, "It's a good thing that you are marrying a good son-in-law... Are everything ready?"
Mrs. Huang leaned forward and said, "As for Madam, I got up early and ordered it again."
"Where's the wedding dress? Take it out first and see if there are any loose threads."
"yes!"
Mrs. Song looked at one thing after another with the help of cross-examination, and turned away from her reluctance to part with her daughter. When Wei Changying wasn't paying attention, she raised her finger and wiped the corners of her eyes again. Her fingers were wet, and she quietly retracted them into her sleeves to wipe them dry. Already… (To be continued)
