Chapter 066 Big Wedding (2)

Dong Yuan went to Rongde Pavilion, kowtowed to the old lady and the old Hou Ye, the old Hou Ye and the old lady said auspicious words respectively, and gave the box red envelopes, Dong Yuan was supported by Qiangwei and Ziwei, and returned to pick up Cui Pavilion, prepare for the bridal makeup.

Xue's family selected Fu Lu's richest eldest wife, Mrs. Rong, to dress Dong Yuan up, with the third and fourth wives helping her.The second wife is widowed and cannot go to the bride's room, and the fifth wife is the aunt, so she should also avoid suspicion.

The Fengguan Xiapei had already been prepared, and Mrs. Shizi helped her tie up her blue hair and put on a gorgeous bridal makeup. Her cheeks were bright red and her lips were dotted with rouge.

The bridal makeup should be full of festiveness. Many women with light eyebrows can't afford it. Although they look beaming, they don't have much beauty. It's just for a ceremony.

However, the beautiful makeup on Dong Yuan's face was full of luxury and coquettishness, her skin became fairer and her eyes became brighter, even Shi Zi's wife and others were stunned.

Without the backdrop of the phoenix crown and Xiapei, she still amazes everything.

With Tian Cheng's beauty, it is no wonder that the emperor haunts his dreams.

The third lady has a straightforward temper and exclaimed again and again: "Sister Yuan is so beautiful in such a dress, it compares with all the beauties in the world!"

It was an exaggerated tone, but it provoked the fourth lady's repeated echoes.

Mrs. Rong laughed, and helped Dongyuan bring a phoenix crown, put on a bright red bridal gown, and a cloud shawl with big scarlet tassels, then supported Dongyuan, bowed three times to the northwest of Shicui Pavilion, and resigned from the boudoir. , accompanied by the dowry rose, crape myrtle, red lotus, and Lvli, went to the wing room next to the ancestral hall, and waited for the sedan chair of the Sheng family.

The phoenix crown worn on Dong Yuan's head is based on a black silk thread frame with golden spots and emerald green, and the face is decorated with a golden phoenix.The wind head is decorated with two large oriental beads, the phoenix tail is decorated with medium-sized oriental beads; the wings of the golden phoenix are each decorated with pearls, red sapphires, and cat's eye stones.Jinfeng holds a row of pendant necklaces in each mouth, and the pendant beads are decorated with red and sapphire corners.

The whole phoenix crown is full of brilliance, setting off her face is as dazzling as a pearl, like a blooming peony, fragrant and fragrant, rich in color, delicate and graceful, quietly releasing the beauty that is arrogant and dazzling.

Qiangwei served Dong Yuan wearing "Duofu", that is, overshoes embroidered with various blessing characters.After leaving the boudoir door and entering the bridal chamber, the bride's feet must not be stained with dust.In the past, it was a carpet with the word "Fu" spread all over the floor, and then it was considered too extravagant. In this dynasty, it gradually developed to make a pair of "Duofu" overshoes to replace the carpet.

Before leaving the pavilion, there is no need for red hijab, and the guests at home are waiting at the gate of Shicui Pavilion.

Seeing the maidservants surrounded, Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Third supporting Dong Yuan, everyone stepped forward one after another, saying auspicious words, and some breathed heavily, praising the bride for being as beautiful as a fairy.

Dong Yuan didn't speak, just smiled shyly.Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Third answered for her.Relatives and friends followed and went to the ancestral hall in the northwest corner of Xue's mansion, which was very close to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion.

Since ancient times, the northwest has been respected. The emperor sits on the throne facing south, with his back against the northwest, symbolizing the supremacy of power.In the northwest corner of Xue's mansion, there is only Rongde Pavilion of the old lady.Bypassing Rongde Pavilion is a pond with a small pavilion in the water.The two long verandahs, bypassing the rockery, are the ancestral halls.

The relatives and women sat in the wing room next to the ancestral hall for a while, it was already early noon.

The maidservant in front came to report the opening of the table, everyone got up one after another and went to the seat in front, only Dong Yuan and the four maidservants were left in the noisy wing room.

Dong Yuan has been silent for a long time, only now he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Zhan came in with a red sandalwood embossed golden lotus food box, and asked Dong Yuan with a smile: "Miss Jiu, are you tired?"

Dong Yuan was wearing a phoenix crown weighing at least ten catties, his neck was so sore, and he was very tired from being sized up and evaluated by his relatives and friends' wives.But she didn't dare to complain, her smile couldn't help being shy, and she said against her will: "It's okay, I'm not very tired. Mom, you just ask a little maid to bring the food box, why don't you go there yourself?"

Mother Zhan smiled: "The old lady was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to talk to others, so she asked me to come and see for myself. You are all well, so the old lady can rest assured."

There was a warm ripple in Dong Yuan's heart.

Mother Zhan put the food box in front of Dong Yuan, four plates of plain dishes, a bowl of round-grained rice, and took out a silver-tipped ivory to Dong Yuan: "Eat some of each, don't be hungry."

Dong Yuan knew that the old lady was afraid that the wedding would be very late, she would not be able to eat, and would be hungry, so she specially asked Mother Zhan to make her favorite food and bring it to her.

Taking the chopsticks, Dong Yuan thanked her mother, chewed slowly, and ate a whole big bowl of rice, which was more than she usually ate.

Mother Zhan looked very happy.

After Dong Yuan ate, Qiangwei and Honglian packed up the food boxes and sent Zhan's mother out of the room.

Dong Yuan was wearing the heavy phoenix crown, pacing back and forth in the room.Lvli and Ziwei didn't understand, so they looked at each other, and finally Lvli whispered: "Miss, what do you want to do, I will help you. You..."

Dong Yuan came back to his senses, smiled and said: "I just want to eliminate food."

Seeing the astonished expressions of the two little maids, it was probably weird to wear bridal makeup to digest food, so they sat back on the kang.

After dinner, Shizi's wife, Mrs. Rong, came first and brought a mirror.Seeing that the rouge on Dong Yuan's cheeks was a little scattered, and the rouge on her lips had been wiped off by eating, she helped her reapply it.

Far away, Dong Yuan could vaguely hear the bursts of firecrackers.

Mrs. Shizi said with a smile: "The people from the Sheng family have come to welcome their relatives."

Dong Yuan's heart tightened inexplicably, she clutched a brocade handkerchief in her hand, and paused for breath.An inexplicable sense of tension surrounded her: she was really about to get on the bridal sedan chair, and she was about to get married.

The third quarter of Shenchu ​​is an auspicious time, and it should be the end of the month.In more than an hour, she will leave the Xue Mansion where she has lived for six years, and go to an unknown place.

That place, will spend her whole life.

No matter how calm she was, the tension caused by the fear of the unknown at this moment made her uneasy.

Mrs. Shizi could see that Dong Yuan was unusual, so she sat beside her, gently took her hand and said, "Sister Yuan, you don't have to be afraid, Mrs. Sheng is not a tricky person, the son of the Sheng family is handsome, don't worry Serve the son and in-laws of the Sheng family, and life will be fine."

It was comforting her.

But at this moment, these comforting words were of no avail, Dong Yuan ignored Shizi's wife's presence, took a deep breath, exhaled it again, and then forced himself to calm down, and said with a smile: "I remember, Eldest Aunt."

Mrs. Shizi nodded slightly.

At about the end of the day, two bridesmaids came in and wished Dong Yuan good luck.

Mrs. Shizi sent them a red envelope, and gave Xi Niang the seat next to Dong Yuan.Xi Niang covered Dong Yuan with a red Xipa with Qianhong Qingluo embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and said words of blessings for children and grandchildren, husband and wife and beauty.

Dong Yuan's eyes were suddenly blurred, and the sky and the earth were covered with a hazy light red.

The noise at the gate was blocked by the pavilions of Xue's mansion, Dong Yuan had no idea what was going on.

Until the moment of Shenchu, her eldest cousin Xue Huajing came and said congratulations to Jiumei, and gave her a red envelope.

Dong Yuan took it in her hand, and she knew that the one who would carry her out into the sedan chair later would be her eldest cousin.Covered with a hipa, Dong Yuan couldn't speak.

After a while, the drums were getting closer and closer, and people were calling to welcome the bride, Xue Huajing said to the ninth sister, and squatted in front of Dong Yuan.With the help of Xi Niang, maids and others, Dong Yuan lay on Xue Huajing's back, and Xue Huajing carried her out of the wing.

The sun outside was warm and bright, and even though it was covered with a red hipa, Dong Yuan could clearly see the general landscape.After leaving the ancestral hall, bypassing the Chaoshou Corridor, after about two cups of tea, you will soon arrive at the hallway in front of the Chuihua Gate.Red firecracker crumbs were blown on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of firecrackers.

Go out of the Chuihua Gate, then through the Double Yi Gate, and out of the gate of Zhenxianhou Mansion.

Xue Huajing put Dong Yuan on the thick red carpet at the door, supported by Xi Niang, and got into the sedan chair with colorful folded feather tassels hanging down.

The noise and firecrackers were deafening.

The suona of the sedan chair rang, and the sedan chair shook slightly for a while, and walked away slowly.

Gradually, the voices of people disappeared, and the firecrackers were not heard, only gongs, drums and suona were playing her way.

In order to respect Princess Roujia, the Sheng family decided that Dong Yuan's marriage ceremony was not according to the successor, but according to the original spouse.Her bridal sedan walked around the entire capital, trying her best to be extravagant, and she didn't enter the gate of Shengchanghou's Mansion until Xuchu when it was getting late.

The sedan chair came to a steady stop, three arrows hit the sedan door, and only then did a pair of hands lift up the curtain, put the red and green scarf tied with two concentric knots into her hands, and led her out of the sedan chair.

The moment he took the scarf, Dong Yuan touched those hands, which were very warm.

She got off the sedan chair, stepped on the big red carpet of the Shengchang Hou Mansion, and entered the gate of the Sheng Mansion.From today onwards, she is a member of the Sheng family. At this moment, her hands trembled involuntarily.

It was the sound of firecrackers, people's voices, and the noise continued.

It was already dark, and Dong Yuan, who was covered by the red hipa, could not see clearly. The bride supported her and whispered in her ear to remind her.

Entering the main hall is worshiping heaven and earth.

One worship to heaven and earth, riches and honor, eternal life; Second worship to the high hall, Ankang Zushoushou, long blessings; Husband and wife worship, more children and more blessings, and grow old together.

Amidst the master of ceremonies' loud blessing, Dong Yuan completed the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth.

Congratulations are endless.

Amidst the noise, she was sent into the new house.

Xi Niang handed over the scale wrapped in red silk to the groom's hand, laughed and said loudly: "The bridegroom lifted up the hijab, and the husband and wife will live in harmony for a hundred years."

Amidst a burst of laughter, Dong Yuan saw someone walking in front of her and provoked Xipa.

When Xipa was lifted, the light in front of her eyes suddenly brightened, causing her eyes to blink slightly, and it took a moment to adapt to the bright light in the new room.

She also felt that the moment the hijab was raised, there was a brief pause in the original noise in the new room, as if she was amazed by her face and didn't know what to say.

Bridesmaid's laughter broke the silence.

Next, it should be Wo Yan.Her concubine Teng cleans the groom's hands, and the maid of the Sheng family cleans Dong Yuan's hands, saying that after washing away the filth, she will be safe and peaceful from now on.

Two maids with clear eyebrows served Dong Yuan, and when she raised her eyes slightly, Dong Yuan also saw Xue Jiangwan.

She was wearing a water-red wedding dress and was helping Sheng Xiuyi to clean his hands.

As for Sheng Xiuyi, Dong Yuan didn't dare to look up.When she glanced down, she only felt that Sheng Xiuyi's legs were slender, and she should be a tall and tall man.
