After the first assistant's wife is reborn

Xia Sichan joked next to her: "Okay, okay, don't make our bride's eyes swell from crying, she won't be pretty when she puts on makeup later."

After Xia Sichan finished speaking, she asked Hongyan to hand the agarwood box to Ding Ju and said, "This is a sweet makeup gift for you from my sister, don't let your eyes get red anymore."

Ding Ju gave an obedient "Oh" and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.He took the agarwood box from Xia Sichan, opened it, and was shocked!
Stretch out your little hand to pull it inside, hey, my dear!
The top one is the land deed of Zhuangzi, the bottom two are the house deeds of the shop, and the bottom ones are all bank notes.

These belongings are nothing more than the average daughter of a wealthy family marrying.

Sister A-Chan simply treats herself as a daughter for marriage as a dowry.
Ding Ju knew Xia Sichan's temper, so she dared not say no.

His heart was so moved that he knelt softly to Xia Sichan with the agarwood box in his hand, and couldn't help but shed tears, and called out for the last time: "Miss Wu"

Before Xia Sichan could make a sound, two maidservants came in from outside the door, brought some cakes on carved red sandalwood trays, put them on the yellow rosewood table and said: "Miss, these are shrimp dumplings sent by my aunt and maidservant." , and glutinous rice cakes with red dates, crisp rolls, and milk cakes."

When Xia Sichan saw these pastries, they were the same pastries that her mother asked Nanny Sun to serve her when she got married.

Seeing this, Ding Ju pursed her lips and looked at Xia Sichan with a smile, and said to the two little maids, "Thank you, aunt, for me."

These two little maids are good-looking and honest.They were both thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were bought by Mrs. Ding and given to Ding Ju as a dowry girl.

One of them, named Huajuan, said with a smile: "Miss, it's a big battle! Six Shiquan ladies are here to have tea in the Ming Hall, waiting to dress you up and put on your wedding dress, miss."

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Ding Ju, who was eating the cake, almost choked.

It is said that when Sister A-Chan got married, there were only four perfect wives to dress her up.

Xia Sichan smiled: "Don't look at me, I'm not jealous."

This time and that time also.

At that time, the family of the Xia family was not prominent, so it would be considered good to have four perfect women to dress him up.

Xia Sichan took Hongyan and Lutao to her grandfather's place for a hasty lunch and then returned to Ding Ju to stay with her.

After lunch, I will start to be busy. First of all, I have to take a bath, twist my face, make up, and change the wedding dress. It is not a lot to say, but it may take an hour to do it.

After a while, the leader of Shiquan's mother-in-law approached to salute, and called herself Zhang Po. She said that the time waits for no one, and you should dress and wear the crown as early as possible!Several other women followed in one after another, holding the wedding dress and dowry, without saying much, they began to wait for her to wash and put on the wedding dress. The wedding dress was very complicated, and it took a long time. In front of the stage, Mrs. Zhang combed her hair and said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, my craftsmanship is in the capital. I say second, and no one dares to be the first. Generally, small households don't want me. I am only willing to accept the invitation if I can get on the stage."

Ever since Ding Ju entered Old General Ding's mansion, Liu Ma, who had been serving her all the time, watched the commotion and joked, "You shouldn't be called Zhang Po, but Wang Po."

Hongyan covered her mouth and grinned. "self boasting."

Granny Zhang also laughed. She changed to an ebony fine-toothed comb and slowly combed it through Ding Ju's head from the top of her head to the end of her hair. She began to shout and sing: "One comb to the ends, two combs to the eyebrows, three combs to the eyebrows." Many sons and grandchildren, comb four combs until the house is full of gold and jade."

After singing "Ten combs, a couple will grow old together." Then he began to hold the plate for her skillfully, and then brought the phoenix crown and put it on.

Ding Ju stared blankly at herself in the bronze flower mirror. This heavy phoenix crown was studded with gold, jade, pearls, flowers and phoenixes. She had a row of bangs and two streaks of bright red rouge on her cheekbones, flying straight to her temples. , which made her dark eyes look a little dangling, and she suddenly showed a bit of charm. She also applied a lot of gouache, her cheeks were white and smooth, and her lips were already a little plump, and she applied it all over her mouth. Fat, more and more delicate and charming.

She couldn't even recognize herself, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

The eyes moved down to the bright red wedding dress, the color that burns like fire, noble and proud, stable and yearning, this is what it feels like to wear it.

Ding Ju gradually closed the corners of her mouth, and after a while, tears fell from her eyes.

If I hadn't met such a good master as Sister Achan, I would have been able to wear a red flower jacket and a hairpin on my head when I got married.

Not to mention that there are 66 sets of dowries. If you get a package to put a few new clothes, and the master adds two old jewelry that she dislikes to yourself, it will be considered a face for yourself.

Xia Sichan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly laughed and said, "Weep with joy, weep with joy." She took a white scarf and wiped Ding Ju's tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, your makeup will take time."

Everyone pursed their lips and laughed.

After the geese laying ceremony, Ding Ju kowtowed to the old General Ding in the high hall.

Old General Ding said: "Aju, this will always be your home!"

Ding Ju sobbed with tears: "Thank you grandfather, Ah Ju knows."

Cheng Jun came over, knelt in front of General Ding, and promised in a sonorous voice: "Grandpa, don't worry, I, Cheng Jun, will always be good to Aju!"

After Cheng Jun finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his big powerful palm to cling to Ding Ju's small hand covering his face with the fan, and walked towards the gate step by step.

When the setting sun was like a fiery fire, coating the roof ridges in the distance with a layer of magnificent crimson, the two couples welcoming the wedding team met again at the corner of Suzaku Avenue.

It's just that a team of welcoming relatives went to the right to go directly to the old general Ding's mansion, and a team went around Zhuque Street to the left to Cheng's mansion.

The sedan chair made a detour and finally returned to the door of Cheng's Mansion on Desheng Street. When Ding Ju was helped out of the sedan chair by the bridesmaid, she saw that the bride next door was also helped into the sedan chair.

Ding Ju was supported by others to block the door first, scatter grain beans, straddle the saddle, step on straw mats, step on the scale beam, and then enter the hall to worship.

She couldn't see clearly with the red hijab on. She bowed first to Gaotang, and then when the couple bowed down to pay respects, her phoenix crown collided with Cheng Jun's hat.

Ding Ju was helped back to her room, "Sit rich...gui!" Xi Po shouted first, and then she sat down on the edge of the couch.

Xi Po asked her to sit and rest for a while, then turned and left.

Ding Ju quietly raised her red hijab and looked around. She was sitting on a bed carved with mother-of-pearl and colored lacquer, hung with a curtain of red mandarin ducks playing in the water. There are four large bronze mirrors inlaid with treasure-faced flowers on three sides, and several incense balls and the Chinese characters of “xixi” are hung from the eaves of the bed. There are tables, chairs, brocade trees and Ruyi barrels on both sides of the bed.

Further away, there is a treasure rack full of shelves, a wide landscape screen, and famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

She saw the window paper covered with cutouts of "Double Happiness" and "Magpie on a Branch".

Ding Ju is lucky to have such a good master.
