It gets dark early in winter, so dinner is two quarters of an hour earlier than usual.
Walking on the road, Zaozao said: "It's the twelfth lunar month, why hasn't it snowed yet?" It will snow in late November in the past. But it's the beginning of the twelfth lunar month of this year, and there is still no sign of movement.
Liuer didn't like snow, it was too cold.
"When it rains, the winter plum blossoms will bloom. At that time, fold two winter plum blossoms in the room, and the smell of the house will be full." Liu'er likes all the beautiful and scented flowers. Zao Zao didn't like these flowers and plants before, but now she also likes flowers and plants under the influence of Wu Jinyu.
Liu Er said with a chuckle: "It's not up to us whether it snows or not, it's God's final say." In fact, she likes spring most, and everything is revitalized.
When I arrived at the dining hall, I saw that Qi Hao was already there. However, he was absorbed in reading, and he didn't find two of them.
Zaozao shook his head and said loudly, "Ahao." Seeing Qihao was taken aback, Zaozao smiled and said: "Ahao, it's good to be easy to learn, but you have to let your eyes rest."
Qi Hao put the book in his hand on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "This is a travel book recommended to me by Mr. Pang. It is very interesting. When I finish reading it, I will show it to my eldest sister." Qi Hao reads very well. A wide range of astronomy, geography, and agricultural laws can be seen, as well as travel notes.
Zaozao happily said, "That's what you're doing, show it to me as soon as you finish reading." During the time when she was at home, Zaozao also read books, but all she read was military books.
Liu Er smiled and said, "Aha, let me see when the eldest sister finishes reading." After Jiang Yijun's matter, the estrangement between the siblings disappeared.
A smile appeared on Qi Hao's face: "If the second sister likes it, I still have many books of this kind." He has the ability to never forget, and he will basically remember it after reading it. Therefore, these books are of no use to him.
"Then I'm not polite." My brothers and sisters don't need to be polite. You are polite, but seem rusty.
As they were talking, Yun Qing and Yuxi returned. Plans to send troops next year, both husband and wife are very busy.
Zaozao couldn't hide things in his heart. When he saw Yuxi, he said, "Mother, Feng Xiaoer sent a wooden hairpin to Liu'er today. Mother, don't you know that the wooden hairpin is ugly to death, and you don't know Feng Xiaoer. Did Xiao Er deliberately?"
When Liu'er heard this, he hurriedly interjected: "This wooden hairpin is a bit rough, but it's not ugly."
"Isn't it ugly? No one wants a penny to put this on the market." Zaozao seems to have met Liuer for the first time. Liuer is the most particular about it. Now, the hairpin Liuer, who she doesn't like, doesn't even dislike it. : "You used to dislike the red sandalwood hairpin that was ten times more beautiful than this before, so how come you don't dislike it anymore?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Zhixi has learned to sculpt. I guess he made this hairpin by himself!" Feng's family is also very thick. It is easy for Feng Zhixi to buy a heavy gift.
Zaozao asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Yuxi knew Feng Zhixi’s details clearly: "Naturally it is true." After saying that, Yuxi smiled and said to Liu'er: "The ritual is light and affectionate. This hairpin is Zhixi’s heart, comparable to gold and silver. Jewelry is precious."
Liuer lowered his head sheepishly.
Zaozao muttered in a low voice: "Jin Yu has never made hairpins for me." When Zaozao went out, they used hairpins to make hair. Therefore, she has a lot of hairpins, gold, silver, jade and ivory.
Yuxi said amusedly: "Your house can be filled with flowers that Jin Yu personally planted. What else is unsatisfactory." After a pause, Yuxi said again: "Everyone is good at different things, you can't ask others to do it. What I am not good at."
Hearing this, Zaozao asked curiously: "Mother, what are you not good at?" In Zaozao's impression, there is no Yuxi who can't. Butler embroidery and cooking skills are not difficult for Yuxi.
Yun Qing glanced at Yuxi, and said with a smile: "Your mother doesn't know how to fight. In Yucheng, when the North abductees were sent outside the city, your mother climbed the city wall in order to boost her morale, but she was shocked after watching it for a while. Fainted."
This is the first time the three siblings have heard of this.
Zaozao obviously didn't believe it, and asked, "Mother, is this true or false?"
Yuxi glanced at Yun Qing with an apogee: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. At that time, your mother was pregnant with you, and the wind was blowing on the city wall, so she fainted when she was uncomfortable."
Zaozao laughed: "I knew that my mother would not be so timid. I must have seen such a big scene in my mother's stomach, so that's why I like the barracks so much."
Meilan walked over to remind the cheerful family: "The prince, the princess, the food is ready and ready for use." In winter, the food is colder, so the food is only served after everyone arrives.
Back at Bixinyuan, Liuer took out the green sandalwood hairpin. This is the first time I have received a gift made by someone else when I grow up.
You Lian smiled and said, "If the princess likes it, I'll help the princess tie her hair." Although this hairpin is not beautiful, it is given by the future princess horse, which is invaluable.
Liu Er pursed his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay."
The next day, Zaozao suggested that Liu'er use this wooden hairpin for the ceremony.
Yuxi smiled and said, "The hairpin on the gift box is ready, and it matches the clothes. This hairpin will be worn by Liuer to Zhixi in the future."
Liuer was a little embarrassed.
Yuxi smiled and changed the subject: "My mother is ready for matters related to Chiryi, take a good rest these two days, don't be nervous." A woman and Chiryi are one of the major events in life, and few girls don't take it seriously. As for jujube, it is more special, not in this case. Because of this, Yuxi invited the official wives of Grade 3 or above to watch the ceremony.
"Mother, isn't it too grand? Just ask three or five people to watch the ceremony." She felt that the ceremony was too big this time. It is the official wife of the third grade or above, plus relatives, there are nearly forty guests.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "Your eldest sister’s wedding ceremony has not been handled. If your wedding ceremony is not done, foreigners think it is not rare for your sisters!" In order to manage this wedding ceremony, Yuxi handed over part of the business. Yun Qing handled it. These days, the husband and wife are very busy.
Liu Er hugged Yuxi's arm and smiled and said: "Mother, I know that it's enough for you to love us. Why don't you care about what outsiders think." She used to think that Yuxi loved Zaozao and Qihao the most. The fetuses must be back. But after Cui Weiqi and Jiang Yijun's affairs, she realized that she was too narrow-minded. Father and mother love her no less than others. It's just that they are too busy, and some things will inevitably be neglected.
Yuxi was very pleased and touched Liu'er's head softly and said, "My Liu'er has finally grown up." Only after something goes wrong will he grow up quickly. After Cui Weiqi and Jiang Yijun's affairs, Liuer is much more mature than before.
On the day of Liu'er and Lili, there were endless carriages outside the gate of the Ming Dynasty Palace, and it was very lively. Although there were a lot of people, because of the preparations in advance, the housekeeper and Qu's mother adjusted the schedule, and there was no major mistake. .
When we arrived at the banquet room, Mrs. Yuan Xiao asked Tong's strangely: "Where is Mrs. Feng? Why didn't you come today?" The post inviting them to participate in the second princess and the ceremony was written by the princess herself. Unless she is sick, there will be no Who would dare not give the princess face.
Tong said with a smile: "The princess has invited my sister-in-law to be the official guest, and she may be speaking with the princess now." There was a smile on his face, but his heart was even more bitter than Huang Lian. If it weren't for Archie's ignorant rejection of the marriage, she would have been the second princess and the official guest this time.
Zhengbin are all selected virtuous and talented female elders. However, there is another unspoken rule for the girl's ritual, that is, the future mother-in-law will be the official guest at the ritual.
Feng's family happened to have a son who was about the same age as Liu'er, so the Xiao family couldn't help thinking a little more: "Could it be that the prince and the princess fell in love with the second son of the Feng family?"
Tong's smiled and nodded, and said: "The prince and the princess have agreed, and after the second princess and Yanli, they will ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage."
Feng Dajun and Cui Mo are no different from their brothers. If Tong has a knot in his heart because of this, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two in the future. In order to prevent this from happening, Chang Shi came to explain it specially.
Xiao Clan smiled and said, "Cousins will become concubines in the future. Mrs. Feng is really a blessing." Feng's first son married the Han family girl. I don't know how many people are envied, but now the second son still wants to marry. The second county lord. At first, she also thought about letting her youngest son marry the second princess, but when she revealed this to her husband, she was scolded by her husband.
After Xiao's thoughts ceased, he began to choose girls with similar family backgrounds. But the fact that Yuan Yuan was a dude didn't keep it secret, and people of similar family background were not willing to marry his prostitute to him. But the concubine Xiao Clan was unwilling, so now I can only look for someone with a lower door.
Tong's smile said: "Yes! Sister-in-law is indeed very lucky." Thinking of his eldest son, Tong's heart sighed. Not long ago, she asked someone to speak to Mrs. Tang, wanting to marry the second daughter of the Tang family for Cui Weiqi, but the Tang family has not given a reply until now. I don't know if the Tang family knows about the Niu family.
In fact, the Tang family didn't know about Niu Finland. The reason for not agreeing was that Tang Chengye had doubts about it. Cui Weiqi's conditions are so good, why hasn't a marriage date been set yet? Even if you talk about your relatives for the sake of a late career, you should talk about the eldest daughter. Literati think more. Madam Tang knew her husband's concerns, but she still wanted to make this family. Cui Weiqi was well-known in Haocheng regardless of his appearance or ability, and Cui Mo was Yun Qing's confidant, even if there were some flaws in the marriage, she couldn't bear it. The husband and wife had different opinions, so they didn't reply.
Ling's came over, sat next to Tong's and smiled and said, "Sansao, what are you talking about?" Feng Dajun is the largest, Guo Xun is second, Cui Mo is the third, and Xu Wu is the smallest.
Tong said with a smile: "I'm saying that my sister-in-law is so lucky, and the two daughters-in-law are better than the other."
Ling's face flashed puzzled.
Xiao Clan said with a look of envy: "After Ji Li, Feng's family will invite a matchmaker to the palace to propose marriage."
The Ling clan was very surprised and looked at the Tong clan and said, "Sansao, is this true?" One of the Ling clan's wife's sister-in-law also fell in love with Feng Zhixi and wanted to ask the Ling clan as a matchmaker. The girl had been well-rounded after studying, and her father and brother had both become officials, so the Ling clan also helped thoroughly but was rejected by the Chang clan.
Tong nodded and said: "It's true."
Ling Shi smiled and said: "Big brother and sister-in-law have always liked the second princess and want to marry her home as a daughter-in-law. Now, I finally got what they wanted." Feng Dajun wanted Liu Er to be a daughter-in-law. , She had heard of Xu Wu a long time ago. It's just that Yuxi never gave a response, she thought it was Feng Dajun's wishful thinking. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
The matter between Liuer and Cui Weiqi did not cross the road, it was just a private agreement between the two, and not many people knew about it. Xu Wu knew about it, but it was about Liu'er's reputation, so he didn't tell the Ling family.
While talking, someone shouted: "The princess is here."
As soon as this word fell, the whole banquet room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard on the ground. Everyone, including Tong, stood up.
Yuxi walked to the top and gave a simple speech, and then Liuer appeared on the stage.
It was not Liuer who came out first, but Zaozao as a praiser. After coming out, Zaozao cleans his hands first, and then walks to the west stairs to wait. After a while, Liu'er walked out of it in a water-red dress. Walking to the middle, Liu Er dressed up to the ladies, then knelt facing west.
Zao Zao came forward to comb Liu'er's hair, combed her hair and put the comb in the designated position.
Ji Yan had to change three sets of clothes. The last time Liu'er changed was a dress with a long sleeve and a long skirt, wearing a phoenix hairpin with filigree dots and green beads. This long-sleeved dress is made of brocade, with Teng Yunwen embroidered on the cuffs and skirt.
After the ceremony, Zaozuo accompanied Liuer back to the room. Zaozao took a breath and said, "Finally, it's over." She was worried that she had made a mistake and left flaws on Liuer's Ji Li. So just now, her nervous palms were sweating. You know, she was not so nervous when she went to the battlefield!
Liu Er said with a grateful look: "Sister, thank you." In fact, she was also very nervous just now, but when she went out, she was not nervous at all when she looked at Zaozao with a sullen face.
Originally, Yuxi didn't plan to let Zaozao be a complier, so he wanted to choose the girl from Tan Tuo's family who had befriended Liuer. But Zaozao insisted on being this complier, and Liu Er was also willing, so Yuxi obeyed the sisters' wishes.
In order to comb Liu'er's hair, Zaozao began to practice her hair after coming back. There are more than a dozen maids in her yard, and she has lost a lot of hair during this period of tossing.
Zaozao smiled and said, "My sister, what are you doing so politely!" Ji Jiuli will only live once, and she doesn't want to be left here with regret.
Liu Er gave a hum, with tears in his eyes and said: "From now on, I will not be polite to the elder sister."
Zaozao smiled and changed the subject: "I think the matchmaker will come tomorrow. The marriage is settled, and you should embroider the wedding gown." Liu'er has always emphasized that only by putting on the wedding gown embroidered by herself, the marriage will be beautiful. happiness. So Zaozao knew that her wedding dress would not be as artificial as her own.
Liuer shook his head gently: "Let's wait for a few years." La Yue has a lot of things, and she always has to help.
