The eighth day of the eighth lunar month is a good day for weddings and sacrifices, and is an auspicious day for the year. As soon as the third watch on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month has just struck, the lights of the Zhong County uncle's house are brightly lit, and the servants are neatly dressed, starting a busy day.

When the sky was dark, Tian Minyan was pulled up from her sleep. She squinted and went to the clean room to take a bath. Surrounded by steam, the huge bathtub was filled with fresh rose petals, grapefruit leaves, and mugwort. The fragrance lingered and made people feel relaxed.

The spirit was shaken.

After taking a flower bath, the girl took a clean cotton cloth to twist her hair, and then she was sat down in front of the dressing table. On the large table, there were all kinds of rouge and gouache lined up, and the opened makeup was shining brightly.

Just after sitting down, Luo Shi walked in with the girl. Tian Minyan saw it through the mirror, turned her head hurriedly, and stood up: "Mother."

Luo Shi smiled, pulled her to the bedside and sat down, and said, "While Mrs. Quanfu hasn't arrived yet, we two can talk to each other."

Tian Minyan saw all the girls and women in the room retreating, vaguely guessing something, her face turned red, she lowered her head and hummed shyly: "Yeah."

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Luo took out a small yellow book from his sleeve and whispered: "This, you put it at the bottom of the box."

Tian Minyan took it, opened it, quickly closed it, blushed like blood, and said angrily: "Mother."

Luo Shi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You are still shy, but you are about to get married. This is a courtesy of human relations. Let me tell you, during the wedding..."

Luo Shi's voice became lower and lower, Tian Minyan lowered her head, her neck turned red, she didn't say a word, she just nodded.

.

Although I also went through human affairs in my previous life, it has been so long, and now I feel quite shy to hear Luo Shi say that.

Luo Shi also finished the order. When he saw her blushing with embarrassment, he changed his voice and sighed: "My daughter has grown up too. She has grown from a little pink ball to a big girl. She will get married in the blink of an eye.

.”

Tian Minyan felt sad after hearing this. She hugged Luo Shi's arm, rested her head on her shoulder and said, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you. I don't want to get married."

Luo Shi's eyes suddenly turned red, but he patted her hand and said, "You're talking nonsense again. Part of the dowry has already been taken away, and it's your turn to say you don't want to marry me?"

"Anyway, I don't want to leave you."

"Now I'm glad you're not far away from getting married. You'll be here in half an hour." Luo Shi said happily.

Tian Minyan leaned against her, hummed, and hugged her arm tighter.

The two mother and daughter talked in a broken voice. After a while, the girl walked in and announced: "Madam, the Protector's Lady has arrived."

Luo Shi stood up quickly and nodded to Tian Minyan: "I'll go and greet you."

Mrs. Protector is the Quanfu wife of this marriage, and she is also the best Quanfu wife in the capital. After all, this is also Tian Minyan's blessing.

After Mrs. Protector and Luo Shi came in, Tian Minyan stood up and greeted her, drank half a cup of tea, and then began to comb her hair.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the red candles representing auspiciousness were still lit in the house. The Protector's wife took two red silk threads and twisted them together. She moved her hands and mouth at the same time, saying auspicious words while looking at Tian Minyan's fair skin.

His face was twisted.

Tian Minyan kept enduring the stinging pain on her face with her eyes closed. Finally, she stopped. Then she opened her eyes and saw that her skin in the mirror was better than snow. Her twisted face was as smooth and tender as a shelled egg, and the corners of her mouth were slightly twisted.

She has grown up into a beautiful girl, but after today, she will be someone else's wife.

After opening her face, Tian Minyan was helped by several close-fitting girls to put on the phoenix crown and harem behind the screen.

In a short time, with the help of the girl, he changed into his auspicious clothes and appeared in front of people. The voices in the room suddenly became silent.

The red embroidered phoenix-sleeved jacket is embroidered with gold thread. The top is embroidered with a golden phoenix wearing peonies, and the bottom is also embroidered with clusters of peonies with gold thread. The cuffs and collar are embroidered with gold thread, phoenixes and auspicious cloud patterns. And she

On the hem of her skirt, a phoenix spreads its wings and is about to fly. The phoenix eyes are made of rubies. The long skirt drags on the ground, and the peonies embroidered with gold seem to move with the movement of people.

Wearing a pair of pure red embroidered shoes under her feet, the upper is also embroidered with the peony, the king of flowers, with an east bead as the stamen, which is faintly visible when walking, and the shoes are luxurious and bright.

At this time, she had not put on makeup, but her cheeks were naturally flushed, her skin was delicate, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her petal-like cherry lips were so delicate.

"Oh, this is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." Mrs. Protector put down the tea cup and stood up with a smile and praised.

Tian Minyan smiled slightly and blushed. She looked at Luo Shi and saw her wiping her tears again and showing her a smile.

"If you comb your hair with a comb, you don't have to worry about wealth." Mrs. Protector held a wooden comb, gently grabbed Tian Minyan's long and silky hair, and gently combed it down while saying auspicious words.

"If you comb your hair with two combs, you will be free from disease and worry; if you comb your hair with three combs, you will have many children and a long life."

"If you comb just one comb to the end, your eyebrows will be aligned. If you comb two combs to the end, you will fly together together. If you comb your comb three times, you will be united forever."

Luo Shi looked on from the side with a smile on his face, but his eyes were red. From time to time, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Gao Shi said angrily: "My daughter has a good day, why are you crying."

"I'm just happy." Luo Shi sniffed and laughed with tears in his eyes.

"I'm here to watch. You go ahead and entertain the guests. I can't do it without you. Go quickly." Mrs. Gao pushed her and said angrily.

Luo Shi also knew that the house could not do without him, so he nodded and left.

"It has a head and a tail, wealth and honor." After singing the auspicious song, the Protector's Lady put down her comb, picked up the grapefruit leaf on the table, dipped it in water, waved it on her head and face, and sang: "The bad luck is gone,

May you be blessed with good luck and longevity, and don’t have to worry about wealth.”

Immediately afterwards, she quickly pulled Tian Minyan's hair into a bun, and then tied a delicate peony flower into her bun from the crystal plate held by the girl.

The last step was to put on makeup. Tian Minyan was determined not to make it look like she had put on flour. She just lightly put on facial makeup and rouge. She used their lip gloss from Liyanfang. After applying a layer of it, her lips were delicate and beautiful.

It's sexy and tempting, truly gorgeous but not seductive.

Because the phoenix crown was very heavy, the wedding ceremony and the procession had not yet arrived, so she did not put it on first. By now, Tian Minyan had already finished dressing up and was sitting upright on the bed.

At this time, Tian Minting, Tian Minjing and the others came in. They first saluted Tian Minyan and then talked with them. However, Tian Minting looked at Tian Minyan's outfit, her eyes widened with deep envy.

Tian Minyan asked Ji Xiang to bring a red box, and said to them with a smile: "I'm getting married, and there are a few ornaments here. You can pick two of them as a reflection, and it won't be in vain for us to be sisters."

Tian Minting's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Tian Minjing and was not polite. She started picking from the box, choosing this and that. She wanted them all. Finally, she was afraid that Tian Minyan would be unhappy, so she picked two items. Thank you.

Got the gift.

Tian Minjing bowed her knees and thanked her, shyly took two items, and then thanked Tian Minyan.

Tian Minyan nodded secretly and looked at Ji Xiang. She nodded slightly and smiled. There is really no comparison between this person and others, so some people really deserve to be favored.

"Miss, Princess Ruining and Miss Liang are here to add makeup to you and talk to you." Ruyi came in and said.

"Please." Tian Minyan raised her hand.

Soon, Ruining and the others walked in and saw Tian Minyan. They were startled at first, then surprised, and then joked.

Tian Minyan's face was filled with shyness after being teased, and she said angrily: "Just wait, you will also have your wedding day."

Ruining and the others were stunned for a moment, then blushed, tutted, and stopped teasing. They just sat aside and talked.

During this period, female guests came one after another to talk to Tian Minyan, including Mrs. Liu. The room was lively, and Tian Minyan's nervous mood gradually calmed down.

At about noon, the maid outside came in and said that the prince had come to welcome the bride in person and had already arrived at the door of the mansion. When Tian Minyan heard this, her heart suddenly jumped and her cheeks turned redder.

When Ruining saw it, he smiled and said to Liang Fang'er: "Come on, let's go to the front to ask for the red envelope. Prince Xian is a golden pineapple, so he has to ask for a thick red envelope before he can pick him up."

In front of the gate of Zhongxian County Uncle's Mansion, after a series of firecrackers, people who came to pick up the bride swarmed up. The first ones were the eighth prince Qi Zhi and the eleventh prince Qi Jing, who beat the door loudly.

, shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door. The groom is coming to pick up the bride. The moment is coming. Hurry and open the door."

But I heard a crisp laugh from inside and asked: "Who is coming? Why are you coming?"

Qi Jing glanced at Qi Shiqi, saw him nodding, and said: "She is a gentleman in the capital, born in a prince's palace, a noble daughter of a noble palace, a gentleman likes to be jealous."

"If you want a lady, you must first fall in love with me." The voice continued: "One day, love will penetrate deep into the bones."

Qi Qi Shiqi laughed loudly, his usually lazy and indifferent voice was particularly loud, and he said to him while riding on his white horse: "I have been so lovesick for so many times."

The door creaked open, and a group of half-year-old children, led by Xiao Wu, poured out. They stood in several rows and blocked the door with smiles. They said with a smile: "The new son-in-law is coming to the door. No one can enter without money."

Qi Jing laughed and called for the wedding money. A boy handed over a gold dustpan with red flowers. It was filled with gold and copper coins. Qi Jing threw it at the door, and the children started to grab it frantically.

, Qi Qi Qi dismounted and strode through the door.

Tian Minyan, on the other hand, pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the girl came to report the current situation. Then she heard that her husband was urging her to make up, and she became more and more excited.

During the wedding ceremony, to show the sincerity of the groom's family, there must be a link of makeup, which represents the groom's family's eagerness to marry the bride, while the bride's family will take the opportunity to postpone it and ask the groom to compose a poem or chant a poem.

.Therefore, people were put in place to block every door of the uncle's house in Zhongxian County, and people were required to chant poems to encourage women and pay wedding money before they could be let in.

Because of such obstacles, in order not to delay the church service, the groom's family would arrive early, make a fuss, and pick up the bride before the time.

Qi Shiqi was the prince, and the people who came to greet him were all Yun nobles, and some of them were talented people. Naturally, he couldn't resist this poem to urge him to make up. He came all the way to the main hall where Tian Minyan was sitting without any hindrance.

It was Qi Jing and the others who pounded the door so loudly that it almost broke. They also stuffed a lot of red envelopes into the cracks of the door. Inside were twenty-two red envelopes and various gold-leaf lucky coins.

The last door could not be opened.

"Yan'er, I'm here to pick you up, please open the door." Qi Shiqi shouted loudly with a smile, and the people around him started cheering. The shouts were loud, and the servants and guests who were watching on the side covered their mouths.

chuckled.

Behind the door, girls like Princess Ruining and Liang Fang'er were blocking her way. Ruining shouted loudly from inside: "I need hair and make-up, and I need to pick up people. This poem is no longer useful. Prince Xian will play a song. I beg you."

Please, please let us all taste it and comment on it, so that this door can be opened."

"What's so difficult about this?" Qi Shiqi raised his hand proudly: "Bring me the piano."

Naturally, this was something that had been prepared for a long time. Just for the difficulties that would be encountered when welcoming the bride, the piano was brought over within a moment, along with Xiao Ji and Tao Zi.

After setting up the generals, Qi Shiqi lifted up his robes, sat on the tea table, and picked up a string with his fingertips. Then, the sound of the piano sounded like flowing water, and he sang: "The phoenix is ​​returning to its hometown, traveling around the world to seek its phoenix."

.I haven’t met you at that time and I don’t have any generals. How can I understand that now I am promoted to the hall? There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and the people in the room are poisonous to my intestines. Why are we like mandarin ducks with their necks crossed, and we are soaring together! The phoenix and the phoenix come to live with me,

I have entrusted you to be my concubine forever. Our friendship is harmonious and our hearts are harmonious. Who is the one who knows how to meet each other in the middle of the night? Both wings rise and fly high. I don’t feel my thoughts, which makes me sad."
