There are not many things that can make Wei Yingluo take heart, and Mingyu's marriage is one of them.
This girl has been with her for many years. The two are called master and servant, and they are actually sisters. Wei Yingluo was not living well, so she hoped that Mingyu would not follow her own footsteps. After a lot of investigations, she finally chose a person for her. .
"Master, Miss Mingyu, she..." Xiao Quanzi hesitated in front of the door.
Wei Yingluo was stunned for a moment, pushed the door open, and saw that the house was in a mess, the dowry was scattered all over the floor, Mingyu sat with her back to her, and said coldly, "Get out!"
"Mingyu!" Wei Yingluo frowned, "What happened to you?"
The betrothal gift was sent by the commander of the guards, Hai Lancha. This person is now highly regarded by Hongli. What is even more commendable is that he has a good character. The elders in the family only marry one wife and no one takes concubines. Growing up in such a family, Hailancha is very likely to marry only one person.
If he can have a couple in one lifetime, even if his family is poor, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Wei Yingluo has prepared a generous dowry, which is enough to subsidize the family of the two.
Mingyu turned around, saw her, and said indifferently, "I don't marry."
If she objected from the beginning, Wei Yingluo would not force her, but now that Geng Tie has been changed, what does she mean by this? Wei Yingluo frowned: "Mingyu, you and Hailancha are in love with each other, and now that the betrothal gifts have been sent, why did you suddenly say you won't marry?"
Mingyu: "I don't care, in short, I can't marry him, I can't!"
Wei Yingluo: "If you don't marry, you must give me a reasonable reason."
Mingyu's eyes gradually turned red, she couldn't tell Wei Yingluo the truth, could she
In her early years, Concubine Chun had inserted many needles into her body in order to challenge her, some were pulled out, and some were buried in her lungs. .
With such a body, how can you harm others? Mingyu pushed Wei Yingluo away and rushed out the door: "I just don't marry, never marry!"
"Mingyu!" Wei Yingluo hurriedly chased after her.
The movement of the two of them was so big, but they couldn't hide it from the people who waited on them.
No matter if Mingyu is married or not, the dowry in the house cannot be left on the ground like this. Xiaoquanzi brought a few palace maids in to clean up. After cleaning up, it was almost time for lunch. Two of them found a shade After dinner, one avoided the two and quietly went to Baoyuelou.
Inside the Baoyue Building, the Queen Mother took off a string of jasper beads from her hand and put them on Shen Bi's wrist.
The queen mother stroked Shen Bi's hair, smiled kindly and said, "The more I get along with you, the more cordial I feel. This is just a gift, accept it."
Shen Bi lies on her knees, like a child Chenghuan's knees, looking at her tenderly: "Queen Mother, Shen Bi came to the capital from thousands of miles away, you are not the first person to show me concern, but you are the first to make me feel like A warm person like a mother."
There is no more thoughtful word than this. The queen mother was instantly moved and held her hand and said, "If you want, treat me as your grandma from now on."
"Concubine doesn't dare." Shen Bi bit her lip and looked at her for a while, "If the queen mother really loves Shen Bi, can you allow Shen Bi to make a request."
"What do you want?" If you can hear her call out grandma, it is the moon in the sky, and the queen mother will pluck it off for her.
Shen Bi: "Queen Mother, Concubine Ling has always carefully taught her concubines and concubines the etiquette and etiquette, and the concubines are full of gratitude to her! Seeing that she was almost scarred by copying the blood scriptures, she couldn't bear it. I implore the Queen Mother to be merciful and avoid this hardship. ."
The queen mother's expression changed slightly: "Did she complain to you?"
Shen Bi looked a little flustered, and waved her hands again and again: "No, Concubine Ling didn't say anything, don't misunderstand!"
The queen mother's heart sank, just to reassure her, so she smiled and said: "You are right, stabbing blood and hurting the body is against the original intention of Buddhism, so let's avoid it."
"The concubine and concubine thank the Queen Mother for her grace!" Shen Bi said with great joy.
The two had lunch together. The Empress Dowager was very old. After the meal, she went back to Shoukang Palace to take a nap. After sending the Empress Dowager, the bead came to report: "Master, news from Yanxi Palace."
"Oh?" Shen Bi smiled, "what's the good news?"
Yizhu told her about Mingyu's refusal of marriage, and then curled her lips, a little confused: "Master, I haven't seen how good your concubine is to you, why do you help her again and again? I also specifically asked the queen mother to save her from hard work. …”
"What do you know?" Shen Bi touched the ruby pendant on her earlobe with a half smile, "It's not enough, it's far from enough... I have to continue to repay her."
She suddenly took off the pendant from her ear, found a brocade box to put it in, and sent the bead to the Yanxi Palace. Because she always delivered things to Yanxi Palace, Wei Yingluo was not surprised, and she also asked Mingyu to send a box of supplements.
"Mingyu." Shen Bi put the supplements aside and said, pulling Mingyu, "I heard that you are about to get married?"
Mingyu froze for a moment, thinking it was Wei Yingluo who told her, so she hummed.
"Can your body hold up?" Shen Bi snorted, looking at her a little embarrassedly, "Actually, that night, I heard your conversation with Ye Tianshi..."
"You, do you know?" Mingyu was a little flustered.
"Poor Mingyu." Shen Bi raised her hand and stroked her face, "You haven't told Yingluo, have you? It's hard to feel bored in your heart, right?"
Mingyu bit her lip tightly, and her lips turned red from her bite, and it seemed that there were blood beads oozing out.
"There is no cure, you will surely die." Shen Bi said gently, "But what is scary is not death, but the process of death, one day, one month, one year... You don't know when you will have an attack, but when it comes On that day, your husband will hate you, your mother-in-law will hate you, and they will hate Yingluo at the same time, they will say: Oh, concubine, how did you marry a dying person into our Sauron family? !"
"Shut up!" Mingyu shouted, then prayed, "Don't say it, stop it..."
"You can also choose not to marry, then there is only one sad person - Yingluo." Shen Bi sighed, "She likes you so much, trusts you so much, treats you as her own sister, chooses her husband's family for you, Sew your wedding dress, and finally... watch you die violently."
"No, no!" Mingyu raised her hand to cover her face, tears overflowing between her fingers, "I don't want this, I don't want this..."
"But you can only do this." Shen Bi put her chin on her shoulder, her bright red lips pressed against her ear, as if bewitched, "Mingyu, remember my words, as long as you are still alive, Gotta get on a sedan chair…”
A few days later, Yanxi Palace.
A plain hand opened the bead curtain, the beads collided together, and the sound was as crisp as big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.
Mingyu got out from behind the curtain, Hongshang Xiapai shook the crown, and the diamonds were adorned with Shanshan.
As if looking at her daughter who was about to get married, Wei Yingluo looked at her up and down, smiling straight to the bottom of her eyes: "Turn around."
Mingyu reluctantly turned a circle, and the skirt spun along with it, spreading a red color in the air.
"Good, good, good!" Like all the stupid parents in the world, Wei Yingluo only knew one good word at the moment.
Mingyu suddenly took her hand, and her bright face was full of fear: "Yingluo... I can't bear it, I really can't bear it, I don't want to marry, please, don't let me marry!"
Her fear stemmed from life and death, but was misunderstood by Wei Yingluo as fear of marriage.
"Mingyu, you're just like my sister." Wei Yingluo took her hand and comforted her softly, "My sister once told me that if I got married, she would make a wedding dress for me by herself, but it's a pity that she is so beautiful. I've never had the chance to wear it in my life, but—I hope you can."
Mingyu was stunned.
"If the queen is still here, I will be happy to see you getting married." Wei Yingluo stroked her cheek, a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, "Our wishes have all failed, so Mingyu, if you want to be happy, please be sure to be happy!"
Mingyu closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
At this time, Xiao Quanzi came to report, saying that Concubine Rong came to the palace to learn the rules.
"She's not in good shape yet, what rules should she learn?" Wei Yingluo shook her head, "Mingyu, I'll accompany her over there, you stay."
Mingyu is wearing a wedding dress, and it is really difficult to see outsiders. Watching Wei Yingluo leave, Mingyu slowly turned her gaze to the Linghua mirror, which reflected the wedding dress, flushing red like wet blood.
Knock knock knock, a few knocks on the door: "Miss Mingyu, it's me, the bead."
Mingyu came back to his senses and opened the door for the other party: "Yizhu, why are you here?"
Yizhu was holding a box in her hand, and it looked like she was here to give a gift again, but the gift was not for Wei Yingluo, she smiled and put the box next to the Linghua mirror: "My master said, last time I saw that the girl's utensils were all old. Now, I specially made a set of pure gold to add makeup to the girl."
She left the box and left, Mingyu was silent for a moment, then reached out and opened the box.
There seemed to be a small sun in the box, and the golden light suddenly shot out. Mingyu squinted, and it took a while to see what was inside. It was actually pure gold gold tweezers, gold ear spoons, gold mirrors, and A handle of... gold scissors.
His eyes were fixed on the golden scissors, and in a trance, Mingyu's ear sounded like a bewitching voice: "Mingyu, the boat is done, you remember my words, as long as you live, you have to get on the sedan chair."
