On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything will be fine.
At Yinshi, the entire capital was still asleep, Gu Jiu was called up by Qingmei.
She didn't wake up, she was very sleepy.
Ask Qingmei to bring a basin of cold water, wash her face, and wake up completely.
Shower, put on makeup.
The maids came in and out, Xi Niang was busy in and out, and saw that it was dawn.
The entire Gu family has already been busy preparing for today's banquet.
The three sisters, Gu Shan, Gu Lin, and Gu Jun, went to Zhilan Courtyard early in the morning to talk with Gu Jiu.
"Second sister is so beautiful today."
Gu Jiu looked at the face in the mirror that was covered in ashes, and really couldn't see anything beautiful about it.
She asked Xi Niang if she had to make up like this.
Xi Niang laughed, "Second Miss, don't think too much, brides are always dressed like this."
Gu Shan and the others also advised Gu Jiu not to think too much, bridal makeup is like this, it is really beautiful.
Gu Jiu resigned to his fate, let's do as the Romans do.
Less than two hours before the auspicious time, Qingmei was very anxious, always feeling that there was not enough time, and there was not enough time to do many things.
Gu Jiu comforted her, "Don't worry, take your time, we have plenty of time."
Gu Shan covered her lips and said with a smile: "Qing Mei, she looks more nervous than Second Sister."
Gu Lin asked curiously: "Second sister, you are getting married soon, are you nervous?"
Gu Jiu laughed, her eyes shone with confidence.
She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I'm not nervous."
"If I were me, I would have been nervous. The thought of marrying into a stranger's home and living with a bunch of strangers under one roof made me uncomfortable."
After Gu Lin finished speaking, goosebumps still appeared on her arms. She managed to tell herself she was nervous.
Everyone laughed in good faith.
The little maid came in and reported that it was the third aunt who had come.
Last night, Gu Yue managed to stay and stayed in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.
This time, she came to marry Gu Jiu, so Gu Jiu had to say thank you.
The faces of Gu Shan and the other three were not very good-looking, they didn't want to see Gu Yue.
"The third sister is here. The third sister looks pretty good today."
"Today is Second Sister's day of great joy. I wish Second Sister and her husband a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a son soon."
Gu Jiu stretched her brows and looked back at Gu Yue, "Thank you, Third Sister, for your kind words. Third Sister can sit down as you please."
Gu Yue looked at the furnishings in Zhilan's courtyard and felt that it was much more spacious. Most of the objects were sent to the palace along with the dowry.
Especially the books in the study room, there are three sets.
Those rare copies, ancient books, and unread books were all taken by Gu Jiu as a dowry to the palace.
Gu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Second sister is nostalgic, and the things she is used to will be married to the palace. Don't you worry about being laughed at by the people in the palace?"
Gu Jiu lowered her brows and smiled, "Why worry? I can't control my mouth growing on other people. I just care about my own comfortable life."
Gu Yue lowered his head and smiled, with sarcasm in his eyes.
Gu Shan came forward to fight for Gu Jiu, "Today is the day when Second Sister is very happy, is Third Sister deliberately trying to make things difficult for Second Sister? Doesn't Third Sister understand the truth of what to say on a certain day?"
Gu Yue's face darkened, "Fourth sister, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson in this family."
Gu Shan sneered, "You speak so harshly, you are not welcome here."
Gu Yue sneered, and said with a strong attitude: "This is Zhilan Courtyard, what you say doesn't matter."
Gu Jiu had a half-smile, "If the third sister has nothing else to do, let's go to the flower hall to drink tea. My sisters and I still have something to say, it's inconvenient for you to be here."
Gu Shan laughed loudly, watching Gu Yue's joke.
Gu Yue's expression changed again and again, and his eyes spewed fire. Gritting his teeth, he finally turned and left without saying a word.
"Bah!" Gu Shan was particularly disgusted, "She just deliberately made things difficult for her. She is shameless, and we don't need to give her face either."
Gu Jiu said: "That's fine, don't worry about her."
The auspicious time is coming, and the people who welcome relatives will come to the door.
Gu Ting led the team and blocked the gate.
It's not that easy to marry his sister.
The last time Liu Zhao failed to make a move, this time it can be regarded as giving him a chance, and he must make things difficult for the opponent.
He and Gu Teng, one literary and one military, threw Liu Zhao one problem after another.
Liu Zhao resolved all of them one by one.
Xi Niang hurried back to the bedroom, "The auspicious time is coming, Second Miss hurry up."
Gu Jiu was wearing a bright red wedding dress, sitting on the bed beautifully.
Xi Niang knelt down, "I'll go out with Second Miss on my back."
"Hard work, Xi Niang."
Xi Niang came to the main hall with Gu Jiu on her back.
Here, Gu Jiu wants to bid farewell to his family. When she stepped out of the gate, she was no longer the second daughter of the Gu family, but the emperor's grandson wife, the second aunt of the Gu family.
Gu Jiu was wearing a bright red wedding gown, and bowed deeply to Master Gu.
Master Gu was very pleased, "Get up."
Xie Shi, who had been using the excuse of being sick before, finally showed up.
She sat side by side with Mr. Gu, with a solemn expression.
Facing her, Gu Jiu bowed slightly, as a courtesy.
Mrs. Gu was very comforted, "Good boy. When you arrive at the palace, you must strictly abide by the rules, be filial to the prince and concubine, and live in harmony with your husband and wife."
Gu Jiu nodded, "My daughter listens to my father."
Mrs. Xie coughed lightly, "Second girl, when you arrive at the palace, you must strictly abide by women's morals, take care of your husband and teach your children, take your husband as the sky, and don't play petty temper."
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, "Thank you Madam for your teaching."
Afterwards, Gu Jiu bid farewell to uncle, aunt, brothers, and second uncle Su Er master one by one.
Seeing Gu Jiu wearing a bright red wedding dress, Master Su's eyes were moist with joy.
He told Gu Jiu to "live a good life, if there are difficulties, don't feel wronged."
Gu Jiu smiled sweetly, "I will keep what Second Uncle said in my heart."
Xie's brows frowned, as if he was going to get mad.
Mr. Gu stared at him. On the day of great joy, whoever dares to make trouble will just make life difficult for him.
Xie's banners and drums were silenced, and he endured it.
Xi Niang reported that the people who got married have already entered the door, and the second girl should also go out.
Gu Ting ran in from the outside, "Sister, I'll take you out."
Gu Jiu gave Gu Ting a gentle smile, and then she bid farewell to Master Gu again.
Master Gu was a little bit reluctant, his voice choked up, "Go, go, the auspicious time has been missed."
Xi Niang put the hijab on Gu Jiu.
Gu Ting picked up Gu Jiu on his back and stepped out of the room.
"Sister, I'll see you off."
"Brother, don't be sad, no matter when and where, I am your sister."
"I will always be your elder brother. If Liu Zhao treats you badly, tell me and I will beat him up."
"Wouldn't it be too cheap to beat him up? If he treats me badly, I don't need my brother to do anything. I can deal with him myself."
"Well, I believe my sister's methods will definitely make Liu Zhao's life worse than death."
The two brothers and sisters were supposed to be on a sad way to send off their marriage, but the style of painting changed suddenly, which was very weird.
Xi Niang listened to a few words, oh my god, these brothers and sisters must be crazy. On the day of great joy, before entering the door, they began to discuss how to clean up the groom.
Xi Niang shed tears of sympathy for the groom.
Liu Zhao was very excited, but he kept hiding his inner excitement.
His nose was itchy, but he didn't care.
It's okay for Gu Jiu to scold him secretly. Anyway, you can marry someone back home right away, and you will be able to shake up your husband.
No matter how far the road is, there is a time when it comes to an end.
The sedan chair has arrived.
Gu Jiu vaguely saw Liu Zhao through the red hijab.
She said to Gu Ting, "Brother, take care."
"You also have to take care. During the wedding banquet, I will try to get Liu Zhao drunk and make it difficult for him to move."
Gu Jiu snickered, her brother was full of fantastic ideas.
"Brother, don't worry about me, I will live well, and you will live well too."
Gu Ting sent Gu Jiu into the sedan chair.
Get up the sedan chair.
The sedan chair swayed and left Gu's mansion, walking farther and farther.
As the noise reached his ears, Gu Jiu who had slept in the sedan chair was woken up. She knew that when the sedan chair arrived at the palace, it was about to pay homage.
She took out the small mirror she carried with her to take a picture, her makeup was flawless.
Put away the small mirror, quickly put on the hijab, everything in front of my eyes became blurred again.
Joy was played, and the sedan chair stopped.
The car curtain was raised, and Xi Niang came to the wedding hall with Gu Jiu on her back.
There are many people around.
Through the hijab, Gu Jiu could see vaguely, but he also knew that there might not be less than a hundred people in the wedding hall.
A lot of people, music, voices, mixed together, as if to pierce the eardrum.
"Don't be nervous, it will be fine in a while."
A deep male voice rang in his ears. The sound went away, but the warm breath remained in my ears.
It is Liu Zhao.
The praise officer sang and shouted: "Bow to heaven and earth!"
People around me moved.
With Xi Niang's support, Gu Jiu bowed down.
"Second obeisance to the high hall!"
Gu Jiu bowed forward, she seemed to hear the voice of the princess and the laughter of King Ning.
King Ning came back from the imperial mausoleum
"Husband and wife salute!"
Supported by Xi Niang, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao bowed to each other.
"After the ceremony, send it to the new house!"
After buying the red silk, Xi Niang reminded Gu Jiu, "Follow the red silk."
Hearing the movement in his ear, Gu Jiu knew that she had left Xitang.
Many people surrounded them, and they went to the new house together.
It seems to have been gone for a long time, and it seems to have only been gone for a while, and the new house finally arrived.
She was sent into the new room and sat on the head of the bed.
Xi Niang smiled, and handed the scale to Liu Zhao, "Please ask the groom to choose the hijab."
There was a lot of noise around, and many people booed, telling Liu Zhao to pick up the hijab quickly.
For the first time, Liu Zhao felt nervous.
Holding the scale, he took a deep breath and slowly raised the hijab on Gu Jiu's head.
With the hijab raised, Gu Jiu raised her head slightly and gave him a shy smile.
Liu Zhao was instantly amazed, as if he had stopped breathing at that moment. The surrounding voices moved away from him, Gu Jiu was the only one in his eyes and heart.
"Haha, the groom's officer was dumbfounded."
"The groom's officer is fascinated by the bride."
"I didn't expect my elder brother to have such a silly side."
Many people surrounded the new house, and everyone made fun of Liu Zhao in good faith.
There are also those who praise the bride's beauty.
Gu Jiu glanced secretly, there were many people talking, but she couldn't recognize any of them.
Liu Zhao recovered from the laughter and didn't care about everyone's teasing.
He was indeed fascinated and excited.
On that day, Gu Jiu's name was circled around the essay.
This decision is really wise.
The maid brought two glasses of wine, Xi Niang said a series of auspicious words, and then handed the two glasses of wine to Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao respectively.
The new house is overcrowded, booing and watching.
Holding the wine glass, Liu Zhao's gaze stuck to Gu Jiu's face like glue.
Gu Jiu smiled at him with a shy expression.
Liu Zhao muttered to himself, sure enough, when a woman marries someone, she will become gentle.
Gu Jiu thought, in front of others, she must achieve full marks and save face.
Facing the booing and ridicule of the crowd, the bride naturally looked infinitely shy.
But today Liu Zhao is really handsome, that face is really pretty.
Gu Jiu felt her cheeks getting hot. She secretly reminded herself that she must never be fascinated by male sex.
Under Xi Niang's reminder, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao intertwined their arms and drank the Hebei wine in their respective cups.
For the first time, the two were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.
His heart was beating so fast.
Her heart beat so fast.
The two thought of one thing at the same time.
When the four eyes met, Gu Jiu blushed and lowered her eyes to avoid it.
Liu Zhao listened and whispered, "I will try to come back as soon as possible."
Gu Jiu gave him a shy smile, and Liu Zhao suddenly felt full of strength.
"Hey, the newlyweds are reluctant to separate."
"Officer groom, let's go and drink."
"If you don't get drunk today, you won't return."
The men dragged Liu Zhao away.
Before leaving, Liu Zhao specially asked someone to take care of Gu Jiu.
The other female guests also left one after another.
In the end, Ouyang Fu, the second wife of the palace, was left.
"Sister-in-law, please don't miss out. I asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and it will be delivered in a while. Are you hungry?"
Gu Jiu quickly adapted to her new identity, and smiled gently at Ouyang Fu, "Thank you, second brother and sister, I'm already too hungry, I won't feel hungry anymore."
Ouyang Fu covered her lips and smiled, "It's the same as when I got married. I didn't eat three meals in a row, but I didn't feel hungry at all. I carried it all the way until night. Finally, I finished a banquet with my husband. After eating, I fell asleep. Sleep till dawn."
Gu Jiu smiled approvingly.
Ouyang Fu said again: "Sister-in-law take advantage of this meeting to have a good rest. I don't know how long the commotion will take outside."
"Thank you for reminding my second brother and sister. My maidservants..."
"Don't worry, they're all here. I'll have someone call them here."
Ouyang Fu bid farewell and left. After a while, Nanny Fang led Qingzhu and Xiaocui to the new house.
The three of them were very excited, "Girl, you have entered the door."
Nanny Fang scolded: "From now on, I will change my address to Madam, remember?"
"Remember." Qing Zhu stuck out her tongue.
Gu Jiu asked someone to close the door of the new house.
In the new house, only their masters and servants were left.
Gu Jiu relaxed all over, and went straight to the bed, completely unruly.
Nanny Fang was very anxious, "Madam, sit up quickly, and be careful to mess up the hair accessories."
Gu Jiu sat up and called Qingmei, "Take off the phoenix crown quickly, and die again."
The bride's phoenix crown weighs three to four catties. After wearing it on her head for such a long time, Gu Jiu felt like her neck was about to break. It was as if his head was no longer his own.
Qingmei hurriedly took off the phoenix crown, handled it gently, and put it on the dressing table.
Gu Jiu twisted her neck, "Finally freed."
After speaking, he went to bed again. She was exhausted, and as soon as she relaxed, all the muscles in her body protested against her.
Mother Fang was anxious, "Ma'am, the young master hasn't come back yet, it's not good for you to lie down like this."
Gu Jiu didn't care too much, "Don't worry, Mammy, I'm with you, so it's fine. Mammy will tell me about the situation of the palace first. During the worship, I seemed to see the prince. Has the prince returned from the imperial mausoleum?"
Nanny Fang bowed slightly, "Madam Qi, the prince came back last night."
Oh!
Gu Jiu sat up and took a sip of hot tea.
"Will the prince return to the imperial tomb?"
Nanny Fang shook her head, "My lord won't leave when I come back this time. The servant girl heard that, according to the regulations, the young master can have eight big maids, twelve second-class maids, twenty-four third-class maids, Huang Menlang eight People, two servants.
These people have been carefully trained by the Shaofu, selected from the best, and sent to the young master. There are also some book boys and some guards. According to the servant girl's understanding, whether it's the maid or the Huangmen around the young master, all the quotas are full. "
"So, the young master has more than forty maids serving him?" After Gu Jiu finished speaking, she was speechless to herself. Sure enough, he is a child of the royal family, and the pomp is big enough.
Nanny Fang nodded, "Exactly."
Gu Jiu asked very directly: "Is there a housemaid?"
Nanny Fang shook her head, "Nothing. The palace has arranged for someone to take care of it, but the young master sent them all away."
Gu Jiu asked again: "Are there concubines, beauties, or lovers?"
"There is no concubine, beauty. As for the good friend, the time is too short, the servant did not find out."
Qingmei and the maidservants, listening to Gu Jiu's conversation with Nanny Fang, feel that their world view has been refreshed.
Even though it was the first day of their wedding, and they were in their new house, they actually talked about such a serious topic. It doesn't match the atmosphere of the new house at all.
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "The eighth maidservant, who is the one who will serve you personally?"
Mother Fang bowed and said, "Young Master, it is said that the servants and bookboys always take care of you personally."
Yeah
Liu Zhao should not have the habit of breaking sleeves.
Inspired by Zhao Erlang's and Gu Yue's gore, Gu Jiu also became suspicious.
Qingmei asked in a low voice: "Girl... Madam, are you worried?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "I'm not worried, I'm just understanding the basic situation."
