She put away the sigh in her heart, put the comb away after combing her hair, then stood up and stood aside.
Next is the initial addition. Three plus three bows, this is the hairpin ceremony.
Mr. Qiao stood up together with the eldest princess. After the eldest princess washed her hands, she and Ms. Qiao bowed to each other and then sat down again.
Jiang Zhu reminded Xie Ruzhuo quietly, "Miss, it's time for you to sit facing east."
Jiangzhu has always been calm and composed, so naturally she is the one accompanying her today.
After Xie Ruzhuo heard this, he just stood up and was about to change direction when he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by the boy's surprised report, "Jing Wang? Jing Wang, Jing Wang is here!"
Xie Ruzhuo's heart trembled and he immediately looked out the door.
I saw that the man came with a dusty appearance, but he could not hide his noble temperament. Today, he is still dressed in ink, his hair is tied with pearls, and he wears soft brocade boots. Eyes full of love, lips smiling. Although he was slightly out of breath, he didn't look embarrassed.
Seeing the scene in the main hall, Xiao Junxi knew that she had caught up.
The people present reacted first and saluted Xiao Junxi, "Greetings to King Jing!"
Xie Ruzhuo also bowed as she was told. Although her voice was calm, her lowered eyes betrayed her thoughts.
Xiao Junxi walked up to her, helped her up personally, and whispered, "Zhuo'er, I'm here and I won't break my promise."
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes were sour, he raised his eyes and smiled, "I knew you would come."
The two of them didn't say much, and Xiao Junxi was invited to a guest seat nearby, temporarily adding a seat for him next to the guest of honor.
After getting busy, the first session continued.
The officials on the side presented Luopa and hairpins, and the eldest princess walked up to Xie Ruzhuo and said in a solemn voice, "On the day of the auspicious month, it is Shen Erfu. Respect you with majesty and Shushen virtue. May your eyebrows live for thousands of years. May you be blessed forever."
Her voice was majestic and solemn. Everyone present was silent, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Xie Rulan stared at Xie Ruzhuo secretly with her eyes, and clenched her hands tightly into a fist. But when her eyes glanced at Xiao Junxi unintentionally, there was a ripple.
The sickly and frail Prince Jing in the legend seems to be in good health, and even better than those other princes!
Thinking of this, Xie Rulan thought of what she had discussed with her mother that day, and her heart became more determined.
After getting the hair straightened, it is time to bow down.
Princess Dingbei followed Xie Ruzhuo back to her room and helped her put on the light pink plain skirt. She whispered, "Zhuo'er, be careful. I think the people in your family are not easy to get along with." She had just talked to Xie's family. Sitting facing him, he had a panoramic view of Xie Rulan's expression, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately understood, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I have a plan to deal with it." However, Xie Ruzhuo only thought that what she said was that Xie Rulan was jealous of him, and did not expect that the latter had already marked Xiao Junxi. idea!
After taking care of his clothes, Xie Ruzhuo came out wearing a skirt. At this time, she looked like a young girl, which made her look a little childish.
Xiao Junxi's eyes were almost fixed on her, looking at the girl in front of her tenderly.
Xie Ruzhuo seemed to look back inadvertently, but instead smiled in his direction, and his flowers bloomed instantly.
She withdrew her gaze, straightened her expression, and bowed to her parents, "Mrs. Xie Ruzhuo bows to her parents. I will be grateful for the grace of childbirth and upbringing."
Xie Shenyan and Mr. Qiao both had tears in their eyes after receiving this bow.
Then there are two additions and two prayers.
The second visit is to change hairpins, and the second visit is to change into peach-red deep robes with curly skirts and pay homage to the distinguished guests and senior teachers.
At the time of Sanjia, Xie Ruzhuo went to the hairpin and put on the hairpin crown. He said, "With the correctness of the year and the order of the month, I will serve Xianjia. Brothers are here to achieve great virtue. Huang Zang has no boundaries, and he will accept it." Heaven’s celebration.”
After three additions, the next thing I changed into was a red dress with long sleeves.
This time I kneel down to worship the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
At this point, only the most important part of the haircut ceremony is left, which is "taking the word".
This word was actually decided by Xie Shengli, but it was just said by the eldest princess.
The eldest princess stood up and came down to face east, standing opposite the Xie family members, while Xie Ruzhuo listened quietly.
The eldest princess read in a warm voice, "Now that the etiquette has been prepared, I will announce the word to you on the auspicious month and day. The word "Yuan" is Kongjia, which is suitable for fashionable people. It is suitable for fakes and will be protected forever. It is called Yaoyaofu."
Xie Ruzhuo saluted and thanked him, "Although Ruzhuo is not sensitive, I dare not to stay up all day and night to serve you!"
After returning the gift, the eldest princess returned to her seat.
After his parents listened to the lesson, Xie Ruzhuo thanked everyone present. At this point, the haircut ceremony is completed.
The Xie family had prepared a sumptuous meal, and the servants were cleaning up the main hall and courtyard. Xie Shenyan and Mrs. Qiao accompanied the guests to the main courtyard for lunch.
Xie Ruzhuo was a little tired after changing clothes and kneeling down all morning. She looked back and saw Xiao Junxi accompanied by her father and brother. She couldn't say what she had in mind, so she could only go back to her room first.
As soon as she returned to her room, Xie Ruzhuo shouted to change her clothes. This crowning ceremony was complicated and complicated, and the crown was very heavy, which had already exhausted her.
Hongrui Jiangzhu on the side didn't know what she meant, so he immediately took a light and cool Luo shirt to change for her, and said with a smile, "Miss, you don't know, King Jing's eyes have never left your side today. Those eyes are full of surprise and love."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately sneered, "You little girl, do you know what love is?"
However, although her words were said unintentionally, the listener did mean it. Qian Biyin smiled and said, "Miss, you have said this. Hong Rui has been sneaking around every day these days. She must have escaped with her lover brother." It doesn’t matter.”
Seeing that the topic was brought to Hong Rui again, she immediately refused, "Miss, don't make fun of me!"
While several people were laughing and joking, they suddenly saw a maid running in from outside the door. She was out of breath and said, "No, it's bad, the third lady fell into the water!"
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then said displeasedly, "She fell into the water. You should go find the third aunt. What are you doing here with me?"
The maid took a breath and said, "It was King Jing who saved the man!"
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo became even more surprised, "How could it be related to King Jing?"
This matter should not have anything to do with King Jing in the first place. However, he can't escape the calculations of thoughtful people.
After the wedding ceremony was over, Xiao Junxi and Xie Shenyan had another conversation in the study, and then came out to find Xie Ruzhuo.
However, as soon as he walked to the back garden of Xie's house, he saw lotus flowers in full bloom in the lotus pond, which was very similar to the lotus appreciation scene that day.
Xiao Junxi sighed for a moment and walked a little slower, which happened to give Xie Rulan a chance.
She pretended to fall into the lotus pond. How could the maid Jade who was following her not understand what she meant? Immediately, she rushed to Xiao Junxi and begged, "Prince Jing, please save my lady, she is not water-based!"
Xiao Junxi was startled suddenly, and when she looked at Xie Rulan who had been calling for help in the pool, she immediately frowned.
According to common sense, if you don't know how to swim, you should flutter around and accelerate your fall. But Xie Rulan's seemingly chaotic wave was actually to prevent his whereabouts. If she didn't know how to swim, how could she have managed to avoid falling and drowning and not coming ashore
Seeing Xiao Junxi standing still, Jade became more and more anxious, "My lord, please stop looking and save the young lady quickly! If she drowns, this slave will not survive!" At the end of the sentence, Jade squeezed out a few tears.
Her words reminded Xie Rulan in the water. Xie Rulan was so cruel that he immediately gave up struggling, pretended to be in a coma, and slowly sank into the water.
This sinking was held in the water for a long time, until her consciousness began to faint, and then she felt a pair of big hands beside her grabbing her, and she quickly landed on the shore.
Xie Rulan felt that it was a man holding her, and immediately she relaxed and actually fainted.
When Xie Ruzhuo arrived, he saw that the courtyard of Sanfang was in chaos. Xiao Junxi stood in the outer hall, and beside him stood a guard in black.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo coming, Xiao Junxi frowned, then relaxed her brows and said, "Why did I alert you here?"
Xie Ruzhuo didn't know the cause and effect. He only heard that Xiao Junxi was involved, so he hurried over. Seeing that he was fine, he relaxed and said, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Junxi chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm in trouble? You've been tired all morning. Go back and rest."
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and asked, "What's going on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Shensi came out with a grateful face and said loudly, "Thank you, King Jing, for saving my life. Xie is grateful."
His voice was not soft, and his words were extremely ambiguous. Xiao Junxi felt a little displeased at the moment, but there was no trace of it on his face. He only said, "It's just a gesture of gratitude from my guard. There is no need to thank you."
His words explained the reason clearly. But Xie Shensi took the initiative to ignore his words.
When they were in the inner room earlier, Xie Rulan said that Xiao Junxi saved her and even hugged her. Although it is to save people, but if there is physical intimacy, then they must get married! Xie Rulan said that she wanted to pledge herself to him, and Mrs. Lu also joined in, saying, "This life-saving grace must be repaid, and besides, the other party is a prince."
Although Lu didn't say the next words, Xie Shensi understood what she meant. The other party is a prince, or a favored prince, and he bears the name of a prince's father-in-law, so the money has to pour into his pocket!
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. Lan'er has already said that you sacrificed your life to save her, and she is very grateful." After Xie Shensi said this, seeing Xie Ruzhuo there, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's just that my daughter's family has a very good reputation." It’s so important that you saved her and became close to her, Lan’er said that she is willing to take care of you as a slave for the rest of her life!”
He said this with an element of anger and gratitude, but to his surprise, the other party's expression did not even change, and he just asked with a smile, "Third uncle, that is your legitimate daughter, are you willing to make her a slave?"
Xie Shensi didn't expect Xie Ruzhuo to choke him with these words, and immediately said in embarrassment, "Well, Lan'er's intention is like this-"
"absurd!"
It was Ji who spoke.
When she was in the front hall, a maid came to report it. The main courtyard was full of noble ladies from the capital. What if this matter spread out? She immediately asked Mr. Qiao to entertain people in the front yard, while she hurried to the third-bedroom yard.
And standing next to her was Xie Rufei. Xie Rufei was the closest to her and heard some rumors, so she followed her.
Ji was not willing to let her see such dirty things, but seeing Xie Rufei following her all the time, she had no choice but to let her go.
When she arrived, she happened to hear Xie Shensi's words and immediately made an unhappy noise.
