===================
There are lazy girls in Washington
As winter turns to spring, the first-class maids of Yi’an Hou’s mansion changed out of their heavy padded jackets and put on green corset skirts, which made the whole man’s mansion look vibrant and full of the breath of spring.
In the blue gauze tent, the quilt was raised high, and the person inside seemed to have struggled for a long time to stretch out a white arm from the quilt. The maids waiting outside the gauze were overjoyed, thinking that the person on the bed was about to get up, when they saw the arm touched the edge of the bed and retracted into the quilt.
"Miss, it's already three quarters of an hour." After Bai Xia made sure that the person on the bed didn't want to get up, she smiled slightly and said with a smile in her voice, "Mrs. told you to get up early yesterday, saying it was Xiangluo. The tailor from the pavilion is coming to tailor your spring clothes for you."
"Didn't the people in the clothes-making room in the mansion just make me a few outfits half a month ago?" The person on the bed sat up with the quilt in his arms, and the blue silk poured down with her movements. Although she didn't have time to comb it, it was still smooth Silk.
Standing beside Bai Xia, Hongying stepped forward to tie up the gauze curtain for her, and explained with a smile, "Madam said, although the fabrics of Xiangluo Pavilion are not top-notch, they are better in craftsmanship, and it doesn't matter how many clothes you make. ."
Hua Xiwan got up from the bed, and was served by a few maids who cleaned her face and rinsed her mouth. She sat in front of the mirror with her left hand covering the corner of her mouth, yawned, and supported her cheek with her right hand, saying lazily, "It is said that Chunmian does not wake up. Sleep has failed me, Bai Xia, you are disturbing my dreams."
"Bai Xia convicted the girl," Bai Xia put down the wooden comb in her hand and bent her knees towards Hua Xiwan, but the smile on her face did not fade away: "Don't be annoyed."
The four maids around her have been with her for several years. Hua Xiwan knew that they were not the ones who made their own opinions. She expected that there were other things in the morning, and her mother would ask them to wake her up early, so she hooked her fingers. , After signaling Bai Xia to get up, he continued to hold his cheeks and let a few maids wait on him to dress up.
A few maids knew that their girl was a lazy person who could say less and less, and after she dressed her up, she held out a few boxes of hairpin jewelry for Hua Xiwan to choose.
Hua Xiwan stretched out her finger and ordered a few items, got up and the maids waited and changed her clothes, took her eyebrows from Hongying's hand and drew the tail of her eyebrows, and said lazily, "Let's go."
After leaving the small courtyard, Hua Xiwan brought a few maids to the main courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her mother, Lu Shi, looking through the long list. She seemed to think that there were not enough items on the list, and she kept asking people around her. Make a note of what to add to it.
"Daughter, give mother peace, did you sleep well last night?" Hua Xiwan approached Lu Shi with a smile, and before she got down, she was supported by Lu Shi's most useful maid.
Seeing Hua Xiwan come in, Mrs. Lu put the list aside, got up and walked to Hua Xiwan's side, reached out and touched her palm, only to feel relieved after confirming that it was warm: "Although it is spring, my daughter The family still has to be careful not to catch the cold, it will be bad if the root cause of the disease falls in the future."
Holding her mother to sit down, Hua Xiwan said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother, I will not let you worry."
Lu Shi sighed, and then said with hatred: "If it wasn't for the people from Sanfang, how could you have been so sick back then. Thinking of them, my heart is filled with panic." Lu Shi's ancestor was from martial arts. Although there have been several civil servants in these two generations, the girls in the family are still more aggressive than ordinary women. But Hua Hesheng, who was still the heir of the Marquis of Yi'an at that time, eagerly asked her to marry her back. He had a reputation in fear for more than 20 years, and he never took a concubine.
Seeing her mother's anger, Hua Xiwan brought a cup of tea and put it in front of the Lu family: "Mother, why do you need to know them in the same way, don't you lower your identity?" Her father has two younger brothers and one younger sister, and the next younger brother and one younger sister succeed him. The wife came out, so their family is now relatively close to the second uncle, and the other two are just for face.
"That's right, that clown jumping on the beam made me blush when I looked at it," Mrs Lu picked up the tea brought by her daughter, most of her anger disappeared, and sneered, "They talk about nonsense outside all day. I thought that this would show their ability, but I don’t know that people are doing it, God is watching, who should be and who isn’t, God knows clearly in his heart.”
The smile on Hua Xiwan's face faded a little, and then she put on a slightly shy expression: "Mother, what did you say?"
"Forget it, let's not mention this." Seeing that her daughter was already embarrassed, Lu Shi smiled and took the list she was looking at just now, "The emperor's decree for marriage came suddenly, fortunately, I started preparing for you a few years ago. If you don't, you will be wronged to my son."
Glancing at the list, Hua Xiwan immediately understood what her mother was looking at just now. She stopped looking at the list and said, "Didn't my mother say someone came to measure me and make clothes?" I have never seen my mother before. Let someone outside take her measurements, how can she meet the people outside the garment workshop this time
"It's just a garment factory outside. How can you let them come near you? I've already asked the servants to tell them the size. I'll take you to greet the old lady later." As a mother, how could Lu Shi not It can be seen that the daughter is not very happy about the marriage, but now that the imperial decree has been issued, it is useless to say anything.
Although Prince Xian has a noble status in the royal family with outstanding appearance and talent, he is the ideal husband of many noble ladies in Beijing, but in the Lu family's mind, such a person is just not suitable to be his daughter's husband-in-law. Not to mention how many unspeakable things are behind those other people, let's just say that a handsome man like King Xian is too easy to attract a girl's mind, and it's too hard for her daughter to marry such a man.
Today, she just used this reason to get her daughter up early and go to the third room to greet the old lady.
Their eldest room and the old lady are not close, not because the Marquis Yi'an is not filial, but because the old lady is the continuation of the old marquis. The brothers split up. The eldest room and the second room and the old lady are just on the face of the relationship. If you want to say how much mother-child relationship, even if others believe them, they will not believe it.
After Hua Hesheng and Lu Shi got married, the old lady also did some unpleasant things in the middle. Lu Shi was not a submissive master. After making the old lady face a few times, the old lady restrained her attitude. , Lu Shi is also not unreasonable, and has maintained a face-to-face relationship all these years, but it is true that he can't get close.
Hua Xiwan knew some of the favors and grievances of the older generation, but given her mother's sturdy temperament, even if she waited for her to marry, she didn't have to worry that the old lady and the third-party people could deceive her mother. What's more, she still has two arrogant brothers on her side, so the Marquis of Yi'an will never fall to the point where there are no successors.
The old lady lived with the people from the third room, so every time she went to greet the old lady, the Nie An Marquis had to prepare a sedan chair and walked westward along the East Street for two or three quarters before arriving at the third room.
Listening to the hawkers and pawns outside across the sedan chair, Hua Xiwan raised the sedan window slightly. Seeing that the sun had come out and the sun was a little dazzling, she immediately lowered the sedan curtain and closed her eyes to rest. In her previous life, when she was an actress, she filmed day and night, and she was exhausted and worked so hard that she did not achieve the status of a first-line celebrity. She became a wealthy lady in this life.
After the sedan chair of the Yi'an Marquis Mansion passed, someone on the side of the road started to talk about whose house it was. That eight-treasure glazed sedan chair is really beautiful.
"How many of the female relatives in the capital can use this kind of sedan chair?" A passerby pointed to both ends of the East Street, then raised his eyebrows, and everyone who was talking suddenly showed a sudden and somewhat complicated expression.
Rumor has it that the wife of the Marquis of Yi'an is quite sturdy, but she has a good reputation among the commoners in Beijing, because the lady of the Marquis has done a lot of donating money to the poor on weekdays. This lady's sturdy reputation spread, but no one said how bad she was.
"It's a pity..." The person who spoke shook his head and didn't say the rest. It's a pity that the daughter born by this lady is not as good as the third room. But the daughter she got was both talented and beautiful, and I don't know how many compliments she received. On the contrary, this young lady of Hou Mansion never went out to play, and she didn't even attend various gatherings in Beijing. Although the people in the Hou Mansion said it was because their girl was weak, no one had ever seen any famous doctors in the Hou Mansion.
So after going back and forth, everyone guessed that this young lady of Hou Mansion was too mediocre in appearance.
However, although many people outside knew that this young lady of the Hou Mansion looked like nothing, they couldn't hold back her fate, so she was given marriage to the Duke of Xian by the saint. I don't know how many women in the boudoir have been envied by this incident, so many people feel pity for King Xian. With the talent and appearance of the king of the county, the princess should be a virtuous woman with both talent and appearance, how could she be a faceless woman with a sturdy mother
But no matter how the outsiders spread it, the Marquis of Yi An never paid attention to these rumors, as if the protagonist of these rumors was not their own girl, but an irrelevant outsider. Such an attitude made many people stop laughing, and at most they sighed for the Marquis of Nie An.
Just when Hua Xiwan was about to fall asleep, she felt the sedan chair stop, and then she heard Bai Xia's voice asking her to get off the sedan chair.
The car curtain was beaten up by Hongying, Hua Xiwan handed her hand to Bai Xia, got out of the sedan chair and followed behind Lu and walked towards the main house. Before entering the gate, there were maids and old ladies around, slamming the curtains, holding tea, and someone came up to greet him, making Hua Xiwan dizzy.
"Sister-in-law is here, please come in quickly, the old lady is looking forward to it," Mrs. Yao, the wife of Third Master Hua, strode out of the house with a smile. , looking at Hua Xiwan on the side and said, "Three girls come in quickly too."
Lu shi took his hand out of Yao shi's hand without a trace, and said with a smile, "Brother Lao is here to welcome her in person. Our girl is frail and came late, don't mind."
Yao shi smiled and said it was okay, and led them into the room, but there was a little embarrassment in her smile, but after seeing Lu shi sitting down, she still brought tea to Lu shi by herself.
"Thank you brother and sister," Lu nodded politely, and then said to the old lady sitting above, "How is the old lady recently?"
"Okay, it's okay," the old lady smiled and nodded, then looked at Hua Xiwan, who was sitting quietly beside her, "The three girls are getting taller and bigger these days, so that my old lady can't bear to see her marrying out. "
Although the old lady has a faint feeling towards Lu Shi and Hua Hesheng, she has no prejudice against Hua Xiwan, her granddaughter, at least she is her husband's granddaughter. Although his closeness is not comparable to that of Hua Chuyu under his son's knees, he is much more affectionate than Hua Yiliu from the second room.
After all, the old lady has never seen a girl with such a sign. Everyone has a love for beauty. As she is older, she naturally has no jealousy towards the young and beautiful girl, and the rest is just admiration.
affection
When it came to Hua Xiwan's marriage, all the women in the room had different moods, but they all had smiles on their faces. Although Yao Shi was unhappy in her heart, she smiled better than anyone else: "Old lady, it is human nature that you are reluctant to bear the three girls, but being able to marry the Duke of Xian is also a blessing for the three girls in our family, I don't know how much in the capital. People envy our Hua family in their hearts." These days, she specially asked people to go outside to inquire about news, knowing that the rumors from outside were not good news. Thinking of those flowers on the cow dung outside, Yao shi felt refreshed, what if she looked good, what if she was a lady of Houfu, in the eyes of others, she was just a shameless girl without salt, ruining the scenery. The Xianjun Wang.
The old lady was a little unhappy when she heard this. Back then, because her mother's family was not very prominent, she married the old marquis as a sequel. Others said that she was lucky to climb high branches, but she was the only one who knew what was going on. But even if she was not happy, because Yao Shi was her son's daughter-in-law, the old lady didn't shame her in public, she just smiled lightly: "The harmony between husband and wife will be the greatest blessing in the future."
Yao Shi heard that, knowing that what he just said was inappropriate, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
As the object of discussion, Hua Xiwan was silently holding almond milk tea and eating snacks from beginning to end. Although she looked taciturn and shy in the eyes of others, Lu Shi understood that she was too lazy to talk. Maybe it's because you want to sleep a little longer and haven't had breakfast yet.
Pretending to be natural, she pushed the pastry in front of Hua Xiwan, and Mrs. Lu said to the old lady at the top: "Old lady, you are right, as an elder, don't you expect the younger generation to live well? ?" What is the prince of the county, what is the use of these names, it is not as useful as a man who treats her daughter wholeheartedly, although their mansion is not a first-class family in the capital, but it is not enough to rely on the happiness of her daughter's life to maintain its glory.
The old lady nodded, and after talking with the younger generation for a while, she proposed to let Lu's mother and daughter stay for lunch. Xiwan left Hua Sanye's mansion.
Spring is just the time when men and women in the capital ride horses to enjoy the spring, so people in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes are always indispensable on the main street of the capital. After the sedan chair stopped on the way, Hua Xiwan knew that she had encountered someone with status coming from the opposite side.
In the TV she played in her previous life, there had been a scene where two families of equal identities had a quarrel over which sedan chair should go first. Only in this life did she know that in this case, both sides are generally very polite, and they will at least give each other a few times before deciding who will go first. Even if one party has a more valuable status, it is not an arrogant attitude. If it makes passersby more identifiable, at least it will let the people around you come to thank you.
Most of the families who can gain a firm foothold in the capital have experienced ups and downs for several generations, and they are often very cautious in their actions, and do not want to lose their family reputation for a small matter.
It didn't take long for Hua Xiwan to hear a woman's voice from outside the sedan chair: "Thank you Mrs. Yi'an Hou, the princess is in a hurry to go back to the house, the lady is so polite, the servant thanked the lady for her righteousness on behalf of the princess."
"This mammy is very polite. The princess has a body of ten thousand gold, and she has something important to do. What is the righteousness of the minister's wife?" Lu's voice was neither loud nor low, but it was enough for the mammy to hear what she said. "Mommy please."
The woman thanked again, and after a while, Hua Xiwan heard the sound of a carriage passing by. She lifted up the window screen and saw the incense carriage with the phoenix pattern passing by, with Ruihe embroidered on the incense carriage. Two words.
It turned out to be the carriage of Princess Ruihe's house. Hua Xiwan put down the screen and continued to rest lazily against the cushion behind her.
Today, the sage has a low interest. Although there are many women in the harem, so far there is only one son and one daughter. Princess Ruihe, who just passed by, is his only daughter. Although she is married, she is still very popular with the emperor.
When the mother and daughter returned to the mansion, Marquis Yi An was already in the mansion. When the mother and daughter entered the door, Hua Hesheng said, "Today, the sage has issued another imperial decree to advance the daughter's wedding date."
"What?" Lu's face was a little ugly, and she glanced at her daughter who was following her. She raised her hand to let the people serving in the house exit, "Didn't you say when you gave the marriage before that you would not get married until the fall?"
Hua Xiwan frowned slightly, and after sitting down with Lu Shi, she said, "Father, when did the emperor advance the time?"
Hua Hesheng sighed, in his eyes, her daughter is good for everything, and even the shortcomings of some laziness are blamed on the reason why she overcame a serious illness back then, how could he be willing to marry her in such a hurry. In that kind of people: "The emperor said that the twenty-eighth of the next month will be a good day."
Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows and didn't say a word. She just played with the small walnut in the blue-and-white porcelain plate in her hand, obviously disapproving of the emperor's excuse.
Today's prince's aptitude is mediocre, but he is a person who can't listen to advice, and is not very popular in the court. The emperor has only one son under his knees, so he has always been very jealous of the other brothers and their sons, which can be seen from the marriage candidates he gave to several nephews.
These marriage-giving objects are either the mother's family who have no brains, or those who look high in status but have no real power. Although their family did not belong to the first two categories, they could not resist rumors that she was weak and had a rough appearance.
The handsome appearance of the Prince Xian was known to all in the capital, and the love of the Marquis of Yi'an for their daughter was also known to all of the capital. So how could a good man marry a rough-looking woman, how could he not hold grudges in his heart, how could he not take a concubine and neglect his eldest wife? In this way, he would offend the family of the Marquis of Yi'an, and thus offend Yuyi. Anhou House befriends people.
Now who can say that the emperor deliberately found a match for his nephew with a bad family background, as for the rumors about her appearance, the emperor is not a common person, how can he listen to these things
Hua Xiwan thought of this, and Hua Hesheng also thought of it, he sighed: "That place looks resplendent, but it's actually the dirtiest place."
Hearing this, Hua Xiwan smiled. She didn't expect that a person of Hua Hesheng's identity could say such a thing, and his thinking was quite progressive.
"If I had known this, I should have decided Xiwan's marriage earlier," Lu said in a low mood. "Who would have known that Xiwan's appearance was spread like that, and the emperor would give her a marriage." She privately said She wanted to choose one of her parents' siblings and sons to be her daughter's husband, so that she would be relieved, and her daughter would not suffer.
At that time, after the remarks about their daughter's mediocre appearance came out, the couple did not intend to clarify. Although it is a blessing for a woman to have a good appearance, it is not necessarily a good thing to be too beautiful.
Not to mention that a woman's youth is short-lived, no matter how beautiful her face is, she will grow old one day. If a man is moved by her appearance, then when her face is gone, she will only end up being left alone. It's just that if the daughter's appearance is known early and it will bring disaster, no one will say that those men are greedy and lustful, they will only say that his daughter is a troublemaker.
Their family can't afford to gamble, and they don't want to gamble with their daughter's happiness in life. Who knows that they can count everything, and they have easily decided their daughter's life without a decree.
Hua Xiwan knew her parents' intentions, she put down the walnut in her hand, and persuaded warmly: "Father, mother, although Prince Xian is a little more talented in appearance, at least it shows that he is a good candidate. I agree, but because of his reputation, we have an understanding of his character and appearance, not to mention that his daughter's appearance is not as vulgar as the rumors say, presumably the king of the county will not do too much. You have done it for me. Enough is enough, Emperor Chrysostom, how can you blame it?"
Hearing this, Hua Hesheng knew that his daughter couldn't bear to be bothered by the couple, so they forced a smile and said, "You're right, if Prince Xian treats you badly, I'll ask for a decree. The two of you reunite, and our Hou residence will support you for a lifetime."
"Okay," Hua Xiwan said with a smile, "then don't think your daughter is annoying." She knew in her heart how the emperor's marriage would allow reconciliation, unless the emperor himself decreed, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor, Said his marriage was not good
But her parents can do this for her, which is very rare in this era. If it was other people, maybe they would start to rejoice when they learned that their daughter could marry the prince.
After having lunch with her parents, Hua Xiwan returned to her yard. Looking at all the furnishings in the house that were mainly for her own comfort, she hooked the corner of her mouth, and then asked the maids to remove the hairpins and start to lie down in bed for a morning break. .
Looking at the word "Yuyuan" on the plaque, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but think of the shock she felt when she saw her sister-in-law the day after she married her husband. Before she got married into the Hou Mansion, she had heard rumors that her sister-in-law was mediocre. Before she got married, her mother had specially instructed her to treat her sister-in-law well and not despise her because of her appearance. She also feels that she is a good daughter. It is too embarrassing to be criticized by others because of her appearance, so she has been thinking about how to get close to her sister-in-law so that the other party will not feel embarrassed. Who knew that when she saw the real person, she thought All good things are useless.
No words are appropriate to describe the sister-in-law's appearance, but if she was a son, she would definitely want to marry someone and hide her.
"Eldest young lady." Bai Xia saw that Sun was coming, so she hurriedly bowed and closed the curtain for Sun to let her enter the house.
"Is your younger sister awake?" Sun's relationship with her sister-in-law is close, so she talks more casually with Bai Xia's people, "I won't disturb my sister's nap, right?"
"Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, it's almost evening, why can't you take a nap?" Hua Xiwan came out of the inner room wearing a water-colored ru skirt, and pulled Sun to sit down affectionately, "Sister-in-law, Is there something good for me?"
"I can't find you if I don't have good things," Sun shi said and handed a box to Hua Xiwan, "I have to go back and look at Fu'er, so you don't have to keep me."
Fu'er is the son of the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law. He is only eight or nine months old now. When he was the most clingy, Mrs. Sun came over now, presumably to find an opportunity for Fu'er to fall asleep for the nurse to watch. So Hua Xiwan didn't keep her, but just let Sun leave after a few jokes.
After Mrs. Sun left, Hua Xiwan opened the box and saw that it was not jade jewelry or anything, but a stack of neatly tidy sheets of paper, with information and information about characters related to the Xianjun King written in it. family relations.
Closing the box, Hua Xiwan smiled. No matter whether these things are useful or not, it is the rarest thing that Sun shi treats her.
wedding
No matter how unpleasant the rumors are, the Xianjun Wangfu attaches great importance to this wedding, and there is no slack in the etiquette. A few days later, in addition to the betrothal gifts arranged by the Dianzhong Province according to their grades, the dowry gifts sent to the Hou's Mansion included various items purchased by the Prince's Mansion, and these items were not made up for the sake of appearance, but were real good things.
After seeing the dowry list, Hua Hesheng and Lu's dissatisfaction finally diminished a little. No matter what Prince Xian thought in his heart, at least there was nothing wrong with the number. After the daughter married, the other party could never be a concubine and destroy his wife. This kind of shit comes.
Prince Xian was hired for Prince Xian, who was highly regarded in Beijing and was over sixty years old. Princess Xu revealed that Prince Xian was not at all unhappy about this marriage, and even secretly guaranteed that many Prince Xian would meet. Treating Hua Xiwan well will make Lu's view of Duke Xian a little better.
However, although Lu's character is straightforward, the woman born by everyone, at any rate, heard the words behind Princess Xu and was turning around to ask about her daughter, she smiled and shied away. Princess Xu did not insist upon seeing this. The marriage between left and right has been granted. No matter whether this girl Hua is really ugly or fake, the matter is already a foregone conclusion.
After Princess Xu left, Hua Xiwan came out from behind, and Mrs. Lu said to her: "The royal people always talk like this, every tongue is like a lotus flower, and every word is beautiful, but you don't know what they said. There are traps hidden in it. I asked you to hide behind and listen today, not to let you know how rich the Xianjun Palace is, but to let you understand what the royal family is like."
Hua Xiwan looked at the long list of betrothal gifts, and after a long while she said indifferently: "King Xian... He is as considerate as it is rumored." As long as this matter spreads out, no one in Beijing will praise the kindness of King Xian. , With such a generous betrothal gift, even last year when the King of Shengjun married He Taishi's granddaughter, there was no such a big battle.
If they don't have a good relationship in the future, I am afraid that others will only say that she is vulgar and jealous, and that she has ruined such a good man.
Seeing that she was neither happy nor angry, Mrs Lu thought she was unhappy because of her marriage, so she comforted her: "What grievances will you have in the future, you and us and two older brothers, although our mansion is not as prominent as the mansion of the prince, but The county king does not dare to overdo things."
"Mother, where do you think you've been?" Hua Xiwan touched Bu Yao by her temples and smiled, "My daughter is not one to suffer at will, so you can rest assured."
Lu Shi nodded. As a mother, she also knew her daughter's temperament, so in the end she just sighed and said: "These days, you follow the nurturing mama to learn more about the royal family. There are no simple people in the royal family. It's good for you to know more."
Hua Xiwan nodded. Seeing that Mrs. Lu had something to do, she said goodbye to her and left the main courtyard. She went back to her own courtyard to learn some court etiquette from her mother, and after lunch, she took a restful nap as usual.
It's no use worrying about big things, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
On March 28, the twenty-eighth year of Qilong, it is suitable for marriage and relocation.
Although she likes to sleep late, Hua Xiwan had to get up early in the morning to dress up and put on auspicious clothes of dragon and phoenix. Looking at the busy maid and old lady beside her, she became the most leisurely person.
The lights are still lit in the house, and the word 囍 has been pasted on the doors and windows. Even the maids have changed their clothes and jewelry to festive colors in order to symbolize auspiciousness.
At this moment, Mrs. Lu came over with a bowl of peanut dumplings in her own hands, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "It is full and smooth."
Hua Xiwan took the dumplings from Lu Shi's hand, and glanced at the elder brother and sister-in-law behind Hua Shi, with a slightly sour smile: "It's hard work, mother."
When a woman gets married, the elders of the family cook a bowl of auspicious things by themselves, and then they are accompanied by their peers or juniors to finish eating, which represents the blessings of the married daughter from the mother's family, and also tells the married daughter that the mother's family will always be her backing. This custom is very rare in aristocratic families, or in other words, many aristocratic families cannot make this promise for the benefit of the family. But now, her parents and elder brother have given her a promise that a noble family should not have made lightly, how fortunate she is.
The peanut and sesame dumplings were a little sweet, but they were always sweet to Hua Xiwan's heart. She blinked and found that her vision was a little blurry.
After eating the glutinous rice balls, the woman of Quanfu made up Hua Xiwan's makeup, and then started to twirl her hair. The moment she put on the phoenix crown, Hua Xiwan felt her head sink, and then she heard the auspicious words from the woman of Quanfu.
Mrs. Gao, the woman of Quanfu, is also a person of status in Beijing. If it wasn’t for her friendship with the Marquis of Yi’an, she would not be the woman of Quanfu. After all, she had heard the rumors in Beijing, and she really didn’t want to. mixed into these things.
Who would have thought that after seeing Hua Xiwan's true appearance, Mr. Gao only understood what it means to be delusional. If someone with such a face is still called a woman without salt, then there will be no good-looking women in this world. The people in the Yi'an Marquis can really sit still, the outside words are spread like that, and they don't see them clarifying, but thinking about Hua Xiwan's appearance, she also has to admit that this situation now has a negative impact on Hua Xiwan. better.
When the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, Madam Quanfu gave Hua Xiwan a hijab with the reluctance in the eyes of the Hua family, and then put a hijab on Hua Xiwan.
After the hijab was covered, there was only red in front of her eyes. Hua Xiwan lowered her head slightly and saw Lu Shi's embroidered shoes a few steps away. She seemed to take two steps towards her, but in the end she just reluctantly returned to her original position.
"Prince Princess, please get up."
"From one step forward, prosperity and wealth will depend on each other."
Lu Shi covered her mouth and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She didn't want her daughter to find out that she was crying, but she couldn't hide her reluctance.
"Two steps, you don't have to worry about longevity."
Hua Xiwan's head was tilted in the direction of Lu Shi. Although there was a hijab, everyone in the room knew that the person she wanted to see must be Lu Shi.
"Three walks, children and grandchildren around their knees."
Although she couldn't see the road ahead, Hua Xiwan was supported by the woman Quanfu and walked steadily step by step, then stood at the door, listening to the noise outside gradually approaching, and then heard Duke Xian's voice sound.
"Ziling pays respects to the lady, and asks the lady to get on the sedan chair."
Xian Jun Wang's name is Yan Jinqiu, his name is Ziling, and he is the son of Prince Xian. Four years ago, Prince Xian died of illness, and Yan Jinqiu was demoted to the throne. It is rumored that this person has an outstanding appearance, gentle and elegant, and is a rare good man.
Yan Jinqiu's voice was soft and pleasant, but Hua Xiwan, who was under the hijab, showed no expression at all. After Yan Jinqiu invited him three times, Hua Xiwan's elder brother Hua Changbao opened the door and exchanged greetings with Yan Jinqiu, Hua Xiwan was carried by her second brother Hua Dingrong, and asked the woman Quanfu to hold her hand out of the room. Door.
The royal children who accompanied Yan Jinqiu to invite the bride laughed and said that the bride had come out, and they crowded the bride out of the house in a lively manner, and their enthusiasm was not affected by outside rumors at all.
When the dowry was carried out from the Hou's mansion, the crowd watching the excitement on the street was a little stunned. They had all heard that the Yi'an Hou's mansion loved his daughters, but they didn't expect it to be so loving. Look at this. The posture is only afraid that the first load of dowry has already entered the palace, and the last load has not yet left the gate of the mansion.
Some people also think that the Marquis of Yi'an has prepared so much dowry for Princess Xianjun to give her strength. After all, her appearance is not very good. If the dowry is not richer, wouldn't it make people look down on it even more in the royal family
Anyway, in any case, women have more gold and silver in their hands, and they have more confidence. Therefore, some women who watched the fun were envious. No matter how ugly the Princess Xianjun looked, having such a good family is a blessing for a lifetime. No amount of women can ask for it.
Thinking of this, everyone turned to look at Prince Xian, who was proud of the spring breeze on the back of a high-headed horse, with an excited expression on his face, as if he was not marrying a salt-free girl, but a nine-day mysterious girl. Seeing this situation, everyone sighed again, worthy of being Prince Xian, this character is really not comparable to them.
The double-topped sedan chairs circled around the main road of the capital, and in a burst of congratulations, they finally arrived outside the gate of the Prince's Palace. Hua Xiwan listened to the crackling of firecrackers outside the sedan chair, and felt that her ears were so shaken that she couldn't hear.
When the sedan curtain was lifted and she was carried on her back, she realized that the person carrying her did not seem to be Xi Niang, but more like a man.
"Ma'am, we're in."
The person carrying her was Yan Jinqiu, Hua Xiwan curled her lips, and did not speak, she just scratched the other person's shoulder with her fingertips, indicating that she heard it.
Listening to the words of praise from the surrounding area about Duke Xian's affectionate and considerate words, the smile on Hua Xiwan's mouth became more and more obvious. Yes, what a good man, he doesn't dislike his wife's ugly appearance, and even carries her off the sedan chair because he is worried that she will be looked down upon by others.
