The first day of May is an auspicious day, suitable for marriage.
It was slightly bright, and the servants in the West Courtyard of Changning Bo's Mansion were busy, shuttling back and forth, gradually becoming lively.
In the house, Jiang Ningbao got up early and let the two nuns open her face. The process of opening her face was a little painful, but after opening her face, her face was as smooth as satin.
After opening his face, Jiang Ningbao took a bath and changed clothes under the service of Chunxi and Chunle, and then Xi Niang, who was arranged by Mrs. Xie, combed her hair and put on makeup.
The crescent eyebrows were lightly brushed, a little makeup powder was applied, the jet-black hair was rolled up, and she was wearing a luxurious and exquisite bead crown. Dozens of crystal clear rubies were embedded in the bead crown, and the red light was bright, shining with scorching brilliance.
After changing into the Fengguan Xiapei, the sun came in from the window.
Everything was ready, Jiang Ningbao got up and went to the bed, walking, the di bird embroidered on the delicate and complicated red wedding dress seemed to come to life, lifelike, smart and beautiful.
The third aunt exclaimed: "It is indeed the wedding dress embroidered by the most skilled embroiderer in the palace. I actually saw all the birds dancing on the wedding dress."
"I saw it too, it's the same as the real thing."
"Cousin, you are so happy."
Everyone was amazed.
Jiang Ningbao, who was fully dressed, was so beautiful that it took one's breath away, her extremely beautiful eyes were clear and agile, and there was a faint trace of rare charm in her gaze.
Everyone in the room was amazed.
Jiang Ningbao's cousin saw her sitting on the side of the bed, like a beautiful picture scroll, and couldn't help sighing: "Cousin, no wonder people say that the bride is the most beautiful on the day of marriage. This is true. I just said They all looked straight."
"Miss Jiang Si was born extremely beautiful, and she is even more beautiful when dressed up."
The mothers and bridesmaids in the room nodded in agreement, and I praised Jiang Ningbao with every word you said, and the cousins also praised Jiang Ningbao with great interest. The atmosphere is festive and lively.
The lobby sister, Jiang Shuyan, watched with a smile on her face, and her eyes fell on Jiang Ningbao's phoenix coronet and the jewelry she wore. From head to toe, the jewelry on her body was priceless, and even the red embroidered shoes were decorated with two rubies. It is also enviable that the royal princess's marriage can be compared with it.
Jiang Mingyao also looked at the extremely beautiful fourth sister, thinking of her getting married in ten days, a trace of anticipation and looming shyness flashed in her cold eyes.
Jiang Ningbao listened to everyone saying festive and auspicious words, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his heart was filled with joy when the dust had settled.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
It turned out that it was Mrs. Jiang who came. Today's Mrs. Jiang is festively dressed and full of energy. When she came, the servants in the house saluted one after another.
Several aunts also nodded to Mrs. Jiang, and the juniors greeted her well.
"Grandmother, why do you have time to come?" Jiang Ningbao was still sitting on the bed. As a newlywed, it was inconvenient for her to get up at will, so she could only ask softly.
There are many visitors today, and grandmother, as the person with the highest seniority, should be sitting in the main courtyard, she never thought Mrs. Jiang would appear in her room.
Jiang Ningbao was surprised.
"Your aunt and sister-in-law are entertaining guests. I'll come to see you." Mrs. Jiang carefully sized up her fourth granddaughter in full dress. , There seems to be a flash of nostalgia.
These four granddaughters are indeed born very well, married better, and they are expected to have even greater blessings in the future.
But Mrs. Jiang still doesn't like her, and the two children of the second room. As for the reason, Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to say more.
I just hope that the fourth granddaughter will not bear any grudges against Bofu in the future.
"Thank you grandma for your concern." Jiang Ningbao didn't miss the flash of nostalgia in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, and smiled slightly, like a peony blooming, graceful and gorgeous.
"Live a good life in the Duke's Mansion from now on. I'll greet the guests first." After Madam Jiang finished speaking, she took off the ruby bracelet and put it on the fourth granddaughter's wrist with a little bit of reluctance. Nodding, she left Jiang Ningbao's room with Hongxing's support.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang left, the cousins in the room continued to laugh.
The eyes of the two sisters Jiang Shuyan and Jiang Mingyao lingered on Jiang Ningbao's wrist, and a subtle emotion appeared in their hearts at the same time.
Jiang Ningbao looked down at the crystal clear ruby bracelet on her wrist, and touched the bracelet unconsciously. If she remembered correctly, the old lady seemed to have been wearing this bracelet and never changed it.
Today is her big day, Jiang Ningbao is too lazy to think about the old lady's intentions, she purses her lips and smiles, sits quietly by the bed and laughs at them playing, waiting for the auspicious time to come.
"Ningbao, eat a snack to rest your stomach." The eldest aunt came over and sat beside Jiang Ningbao, holding a plate of small and delicate snacks in her hand, and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ningbao nodded with a smile: "Thank you, auntie." I woke up early in the morning and tossed, and now I haven't had a drop of water, and my stomach is empty. It's better to have some snacks to pad my stomach.
After finishing speaking, she ate a few pieces of snacks with bamboo sticks.
Seeing this, the people in the room covered their mouths and laughed lightly. Anyone with experience knows that the bride on the day of the wedding will be starving and cannot drink much water, but she can eat some snacks.
…
Duke Ding got married, and the alleys in the capital were empty, and red cloths were flying everywhere. People tied red cloths in their shops, doorways, and stalls to celebrate Duke Ding's wedding.
The welcoming team is mighty, beating gongs and drums along the way, and the sound of firecrackers is endless.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was dressed in a bright red groom's suit, and he rode his horse in front. The cold and hard lines on his handsome face were soft, and the corners of his mouth were raised high.
Behind them was a team of blowing, drumming, playing and playing music. The momentum was so great that many princes and ladies who watched the excitement in restaurants and teahouses were envious. I am afraid that even if the prince marries a concubine, there is no such grand occasion as the common people hanging up red cloths to celebrate.
It can be seen that Duke Dingguo held a detached position among the people of Dayue Dynasty.
The people on both sides of the street were full of smiles, excited and excited. Perhaps the joy dispelled the evil spirit on Ding Guogong, and the people on the side of the street didn't feel uncomfortable.
Changningbo Mansion
Time passed little by little, and the auspicious time was approaching. Jiang Ningbao finally heard the sound of gongs and drums from far and near, and a charming smile could not help showing on his beautiful and unparalleled face.
"Girl, uncle is here." Chunxi said excitedly.
"Yeah, it's finally here."
Jiang Ningbao's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably, and her cheeks burned a little.
"It's time to cover the red hijab."
With a smile on her face, Xi Niang gently covered the red hijab on Jiang Ningbao's head. Several aunts shook Jiang Ningbao's soft hand reluctantly, and the cousins also surrounded her.
The noise outside became clearer and clearer. The Grand Duke had obviously arrived at the main courtyard. Jiang Ningbao became nervous for no reason, and her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to pop out of her heart.
Generally speaking, the bride should be carried by her brother or father on the sedan chair. At this time, Jiang Ningbao's eldest brother Jiang Jin, who had been guarding outside, came in beaming.
The people in the room gave way one after another.
"Ningbao, brother will carry you out."
Jiang Jin strode to the bed and squatted down with her back to Jiang Ningbao.
Jiang Ningbao under the hijab had a smile on his lips, and his voice was crisp and gentle: "Thank you, big brother." Then, with the support of Xi Niang, Jiang Ningbao lay on the back of the big brother, and Jiang Jin carried the bride out of the boudoir.
Jiang Ningbao, who was wearing a red wedding gown, was lying on the big brother's thick back, and the sound of the big brother's steady breathing came from his ears, with joy, nervousness, excitement, and a touch of reluctance in his heart.
After leaving the boudoir, the sound of firecrackers sounded again outside.
Jiang Jin carried her younger sister to the main courtyard, and bid farewell to Mrs. Jiang's wife Zhang Ning Bo and other relatives.
Ding Guogong Xie Heng looked at the little girl in a red wedding dress and a red hijab with soft eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his stern face.
After today, the little girl will be his little wife.
The closest ones below are the uncles and cousins of the Jiang Ningbao siblings.
When they saw Jiang Ningbao paying farewell to the old lady of the uncle's mansion and the relatives of Dafang, their brows and eyes suddenly sank, and the smile on their faces suddenly disappeared.
In particular, a trace of anger flashed across the faces of the uncles. If it hadn't been for the troubles suffered by the younger sister and brother-in-law, how could the niece have wronged herself to say goodbye to these wolf-hearted relatives in the uncle's house.
All the guests watched this scene with smiles on their faces.
"The auspicious time has come, please carry the bride on the sedan chair."
Under the urging of the master of ceremonies, Mrs. Zhang watched Jiang Jin carry her younger sister onto the sedan chair with a slightly stiff smile. It was really the pressure and shadow that Mr. Dingguo Xie Heng had put on Mrs. Zhang, and she wished that he would leave the Changning House immediately.
"Brother, I feel that my aunt's voice seems to be trembling when she talks to me." Jiang Ningbao lay comfortably on Jiang Jin's back, whispering, with a hint of a smile in her tone.
"Brother-in-law is next to her." Jiang Jin also laughed.
He suspected that his brother-in-law was standing closer to his aunt on purpose.
When Ning Bao bid farewell to her, he noticed that his brother-in-law glanced at his aunt indifferently.
The uncle said a few words in a hurry, and quickly ended the "teaching" of the elders.
Jiang Ningbao couldn't help laughing when she thought of the fact that her aunt had read Buddhist scriptures to death.
Jiang Jin: "..."
Walking to the sedan chair, Jiang Jin gently sent her younger sister into the sedan chair, and watched Xi Niang put down the curtain of the sedan chair reluctantly, blocking everyone's sight.
After getting up the sedan chair, my ears were filled with the deafening sound of firecrackers.
Jiang Ningbao was sitting alone in the sedan chair with a red hijab on her head, looking at the glowing red apple stuffed by her aunt in her hand, a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The people who carried the sedan chair were all Ding Guogong's personal guards. The sedan chair was extremely stable without any feeling of bumps. Behind the sedan chair, Jiang Ningbao's maid followed, and there were 128 people carrying the dowry.
Along the way, flower petals, wedding candies and purses stuffed with copper coins were scattered all over the sky. The people cheered and blessed, and the whole capital city seemed to be a sea of joy.
In a restaurant full of guests, Yang Shuqing, who was wearing a black gauze hat, looked coldly at the mighty wedding procession passing by below, the handkerchief in his hand was twisted and deformed, and his chest heaved rapidly.
Ten miles of red makeup, a prosperous wedding.
People in the capital celebrate together.
According to Yang Shuqing's knowledge, the people of the Dayue Dynasty will hang a piece of red cloth at the door of the house today to celebrate Duke Dingguo's wedding. As the woman married by Duke Dingguo, Jiang Ningbao has also received the blessings of the people of the Dayue Dynasty.
How can you not make people jealous
The previous life was happy and happy, and this life is full of glory. Even if Ding Guogong passed away two years later, Jiang Ningbao still got everything that all women dream of.
The mighty welcoming team carried the big red sedan chair around the capital and slowly returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Dingguo Mansion was full of festivities, red lanterns were hung high, and flower balls made of red brocade covered every corner of the mansion, and there was joy and peace everywhere.
It was full of guests and extremely lively.
In the beamingly decorated main hall, Mrs. Xie sat high on the first seat, looking at her son who was dressed in a groom's uniform and looked more and more handsome, and the slim bride standing beside her son with a red hijab, smiling from ear to ear.
After today, Ah Heng will live a long life, be rich and honored, and have a lot of children and grandchildren.
The wedding is presided over by officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Standing below, Xie Jingyi looked at his ex-fiancee wearing a red wedding gown and her adoptive father paying homage to him. Thinking of Miss Jiang Si becoming his adoptive mother in the future, Xie Jingyi's eyes flashed a bit melancholy and complicated.
After the worship, Jiang Ningbao was sent to the new house in the main courtyard, sitting on the big red wedding bed, thinking that they would spend their wedding night on this big bed tonight.
Jiang Ningbao's heart was pounding suddenly, her cheeks couldn't help being hot, she was unparalleled in beauty.
The wedding room was very quiet, save for the sound of red candles burning.
Chunxi and Chunle also came in. Chunxi saw a pot of hot tea on the table, and quickly poured a cup of tea for the girl.
"Girl, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Jiang Ningbao under the hijab nodded: "Okay." He hadn't had a drop of water all day, and his mouth felt dry and uncomfortable.
Just finished drinking a small cup of tea, Huang Momo personally brought in a bowl of bird's nest porridge and a small plate of snacks, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, this is the bird's nest porridge that the old lady asked the kitchen to cook. You can drink some to pad your stomach first." .”
"Thank you, old lady." Jiang Ningbao was happy in her heart. Mrs. Xie was really caring. She finished a bowl of bird's nest porridge with a red hijab on her head, and ate a few pieces of jujube paste and yam cake. She felt that her stomach was no longer empty, and she felt better.
Huang Momo looked at Jiang Ningbao who was sitting beside Xi's bed in a bright red wedding dress, her eyes were full of joy: "Madam, please wait a moment, the Duke will come over later."
Jiang Ningbao nodded slightly, thinking to himself, probably no one would dare to toast Ding Guogong.
Huang Momo smiled, then turned around and went out to work.
Outside the window, near evening, the sky is full of red clouds.
In the new house, red candles were burning high, like daytime.
About two quarters of an hour, Ding Guogong, dressed in groom's attire, returned to the new house, his body was refreshed, without a trace of alcohol, probably because of the evil spirit on Ding Guogong's body, no one dared to make trouble in the bridal chamber, and also saved the step of drinking a cup of wine.
"You all stand back." A deep and cold voice sounded.
Chunxi and Chunle leave the new house in a hurry.
The new house was instantly quiet.
Jiang Ningbao clearly heard the sound of the door of the new house being gently closed, and clearly heard the slightly disordered breathing of the Grand Duke. For some reason, Jiang Ningbao suddenly felt hot in his ears, cheeks, and even his chest.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked at the woman sitting upright on the wedding bed, his eyes fixed on her pair of slender hands resting on the wedding gown, it turned out that the normally courageous little wife would also be nervous.
A smile flashed across Duke Ding's eyes, and he strode forward to lift her red hijab.
The red hijab fell to the ground.
Ding Guogong saw a delicate and bright face, like a peach blossom blooming in March, so beautiful that his eyes gradually turned deep.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyes.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the wedding room gradually became charming and hot.
Jiang Ningbao's cheeks were on fire, unnaturally stained with a layer of rouge, adding a bit of charm.
Originally, he was thinking of throwing himself at Duke Ding on the wedding night in the bridal chamber, but when he saw Duke Ding's eyes that were getting darker and hotter, as if they were about to burn her to ashes, Jiang Ningbao hurriedly lowered his head, and was very shameful. .
The dragon and phoenix candles burn high.
The corners of Duke Dingguo's mouth were slightly raised, and he raised his big hand with well-defined joints, and took off the phoenix crown on her head, and untied her bun. The jet-black hair fell down, adding a bit of glamorous style.
Seeing his young wife's delicate and charming appearance, Dingguo Gong's throat was tight, his eyes were ignited with flames, his breathing suddenly became short of breath, his body was hot, and his bony hands could not help but hold Jiang Ningbao's face, and bowed down handsomely. On the face, the cold thin lips contained the red lips that Xiao wanted for a long time.
The four lips touch each other, breathing intertwined with each other.
Jiang Ningbao froze instantly, staring at the handsome face who was close at hand, and there was a bang in his head, as if thousands of peach blossoms exploded in his mind.
Is this what a kiss feels like
