One combs to the end; the second combs, the son-in-law and the girl have white hair and eyebrows; the third combs, the girl and the children and grandchildren are all over the floor; the fourth combs...
I sat on the chair and watched Xi Po holding a wooden comb, holding Yang Jinyao's long black and shiny hair in her hand, combed it over and over again, and muttering it one by one. The sound of gongs and drums outside, the sound of suona, and the laughter of the guests, have become a sea of joy.
In front of me was an elegant and joyful boudoir. On the door and window, there were big red wedding words everywhere, and all the curtains and curtains were changed to red. Yang Jinyao was sitting in front of the dressing table, slowly combing her hair.
She was wearing bright red clothes, which made her cheeks look red. She dressed her up early in the morning and now she has exquisite makeup on her face. Although she is already very beautiful on weekdays, most of the time it is different. Her face is white and pink, with red glow flying on her cheeks, and her lips are finely outlined, and it is red and rosy, like a ripe cherry, which makes people want to pick it at first sight.
It is rare that she sat quietly like this today. I saw her face reflected in the bronze mirror, and I couldn't stop smiling.
Mrs. Yuerong looked at her, angry and laughing: "How can a girl laugh like this when she gets married!"
I couldn't help laughing, either.
That's right, she got married today.
After she came to deliver the wedding invitation that day, I promised her that because her sister had already entered the palace and could not send her, I wanted to go to her home to send her to marry as her family. So I participated in many of the wedding ceremony today. Now that the bride is dressed up, I naturally accompany her in the boudoir.
...
There are nine combs, nine sons in a row; if there are ten combs, the couple will grow old.
At this time, the ten-comb song had been finished. Her long black hair finally completed the final ceremony in Xi Po's hand. She made a simple but delicate bun, and put all kinds of pearl and jade hairpins on her bun. Yang Jinyao looked at herself who was completely refreshed in the mirror, and she smiled so much that she saw the teeth on both sides and her eyes were bent into two slits.
At this time, Mrs. Yuerong finally couldn't help but walk forward and said, "My little ancestor, are you - which girl looks like you, and she laughs like this when she married someone!"
Yang Jinyao blinked: "Do you want me to cry?"
Mrs. Yuerong was anxious: "You—"
Seeing that the girl was so silly and ignorant, I smiled and went up to support Mrs. Yuerong's arm: "Madam, it's okay. Anyway, Jin Yao finally got married to the one she likes today. She was happy, so she naturally wanted to laugh."
When he heard what I said, Jin Yao couldn't hold back and immediately said, "What, what do you think of? I'm not happy!"
Having said that, it is clear that what is flashing in my eyes is an unconcealed joy.
I was also happy and looked down at her: "Why, Lord Wu is not your favorite?"
She Tate snorted coldly through her nose: "That old man."
"Oh, then that day I said I would hit that old man, who protected him?"
When Yang Jinyao heard me say this, she was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she couldn't even hide her Yanzhi. She reached out to cover her face: "Ah! Sister Yan, stop talking!"
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yuerong and I, as well as a few girls serving in the room, laughed.

Speaking of which, it was also a recent big happy event, so I was invited by her to come to the Yang family to plan for her wedding. That day, we proposed various methods and tried to do the wedding properly. Yang Jinyao also took the opportunity to ask her parents for it. Yang Wanyun also obeyed this daughter, and the dowry stuff was loaded with more than a dozen vehicles.
Finally, Yang Wanyun smiled helplessly and said, "You are so extroverted. Before you get married, you are thinking about asking for things for her husband."
Yang Jinyao immediately said, "What! Is your daughter asking for it for him? My daughter is asking for it for her own private money, so that her daughter will not be afraid of being bullied by him in the future!"
Everyone was amused by her words and burst into laughter.
Her two brothers pointed at her and smiled, "Who can bully you with your temper?"
Yang Jinyao pouted: "That old man is hard to say, he just likes to bully people."
When I heard her say this, I thought about it and went forward and said, "Jin Yao, if that's the case, then will we give him a warning when he greets him?"
"Get out of the way?" She looked at me: "What kind of way out of the way?"
I smiled, turned my head and smiled at Mrs. Yuerong, "Madam, when the groom comes to welcome the bride, ten strong maids from the mansion called in, holding wooden sticks and wrapping them with red sacks. When the groom comes, he will beat him with sticks!"
When Mrs. Yuerong heard this, she was shocked to me: "Ah? Beat him?"
Not only her, but also Yang Jinyao was scared and looked at me with wide eyes.
However, Yang Wanyun was knowledgeable and immediately said, "Oh, Miss Yan is talking about this - is it a son-in-law?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, it's the son-in-law. Lord Yang, this is when my daughter is so powerful. As the saying goes, the son-in-law is a wife's dog, and he is killed without literature. Since Miss Jinyao is afraid of being bullied by the 'old man' after marrying her, it's better for us to take action first and beat him up to let him know that he is powerful. In the future, we will not be afraid that he will dare to bully Miss Jinyao."
As soon as I finished speaking, Yang Jinyao hugged my hands and her face turned pale: "No, no, no! You can't hit him."
"Why can't you hit him?"
"Where can you beat someone when you do weddings?"
"In the past, people did this, and this is one of the six rites."
"That's not OK!"
"Why not?"
"He, he is so thin and old. Isn't he going to break him by hitting him with such a stick? You can't hit him, you can't hit him!"
I didn't say anything for a moment, just looked at her with a smile. The girl was still anxious at first, and she was anxious. She found that I was shaking all over. She looked around again, but saw Yang Wanyun shaking her head with a smile. Mrs. Yuerong and her two brothers also covered their mouths and laughed. She immediately came to her senses, hurriedly covered her face with both hands, and screamed in shame: "Ah!"
That day, she looked exactly the same as she was now holding her face and shy.
Everyone laughed and made a lot of fun. As time passed by little by little, the auspicious time was coming, so I stopped teasing her anymore. I dressed up her and put on a phoenix crown. Everything was ready.
At this time, there was another lively sound of gongs and drums outside, and firecrackers were crackling.
A little girl came in to inform Mrs. Yuerong that the groom had come to pick up the bride.
Yang Jinyao stood up suddenly, the bead curtain in front of the phoenix crown was swaying and crackling. Seeing that she was about to rush out, Mrs. Yuerong hurriedly pulled her: "Little ancestor, how could you go out like this? There is still a veil!"
When she heard this, she stopped again. Several girls laughed and took out their veils to cover her.
While covering it, Yang Jinyao lifted the bead curtain in front of the phoenix crown and looked at me with wide eyes: "Sister Yan, you will go to the Wu family later, will you stay with me?"
I smiled and said, "Of course."
She smiled with her lips pursed, and then the veil fell down.
As soon as the time came, several of her dowry maids helped her walk out slowly. The whole Yang Mansion was full of joy today, and the guests outside were already crowded with the hall. When the bride walked out, firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded at the gate, and everyone was in trouble. The people on both sides rushed to see the fun to squeeze the streets out of nowhere. Wu Yanqiu, wearing a big red robe, was waiting at the door with a tall horse.
As soon as he saw us go out, he turned over and got off the horse and walked in slowly.
Although he also smiled, his smile was not as bright as the smiling faces of the people around him. However, after all, his identities were different. Such an important official would have to get some money at any time.
It is also because of this that the "Son-in-law" section I mentioned before was not really adopted. After Wu Yanqiu came to the house, the daughters of the Yang family were polite and did not make any more embarrassment after the poem was continued. Wu Yanqiu served tea to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and successfully took the bride out.
I kept accompanying Yang Jinyao to the sedan chair. When I turned around, I saw Yang Wanyun and Mrs. Yuerong standing in the middle of the hall. Yang Wanyun was still able to control herself, but Mrs. Yuerong's eyes were already red and she kept wiping the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.
I looked back at Wu Yanqiu. He had turned around and looked down at my gaze.
He nodded gently.
I smiled, too.
Then, the wedding party beat drums and drums, turned around and walked towards the other side of the street.
I was entrusted by the Yang family, so I naturally had to follow me. Wu Yanqiu and the others also specially prepared a carriage for me and took another small path to the Wu family first. Once I got here, the Wu family was already full of joy, and it was even more lively than the Yang family. I recognized all the guests who came to congratulate me, and they were all important officials in the court.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the burly and gray-haired old man in front of me.
The Grand Master is a saying about bai.
Wu Yanqiu lost his father when he was young and later his mother. The Grand Tutor was his teacher. On such days, he naturally had to attend as his high hall.
I walked in slowly.
Since I met Pei Yuanhao in Taimiao, I didn't have to hide my own actions and appeared in front of all the guests openly. The guests looked at me with a look of surprise on their faces, but they didn't say anything, just looked at me.
I slowly walked to Chang Yanbai and saluted with a smile: "Master Tai Shi."
"Miss Yan."
He also looked at me, his bright eyes were still like a beacon, and he looked at me and said, "I didn't expect that I would actually see Miss Yan again in the capital."
I smiled and said, "I didn't go to ask the Grand Master for rituals, I was rude."
