The rebirth of the noble concubine Wushuang

Chapter 543 The Golden Hairpin
After returning from Fushan Temple, Wu Lile was taken directly back to Kang Guogong's mansion by Xing Xiuyun.

Xing Xiuyun not only helped her get rid of her low status as an actor in Sijiyuan, but also asked her mother, Mrs. Kang Guogong, to consider her as a righteous daughter and change her surname to Xingli. the meaning of.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would be overjoyed by such an encounter, but Wu Lile couldn't be happy at all.

Tomorrow is the wedding day of Xing Xiuyun and Song Hexuan.

According to Xing Xiuyun's wishes, the two sisters entered the Huaiyin Palace on the same day, regardless of their order.

Wu Lile lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling of the tent with the faint candlelight outside the bed tent.

Is she going to put on her wedding dress and get married tomorrow?
For a person like her, since she was sensible, everyone regarded her as nothing, even her own father, who just beat and scolded her day and night. In the eyes of her own father, she might not be as good as horses and donkeys.

Horses and donkeys can still be sold for money. She is young, and in the eyes of her own father, she is just a dry food.

Thinking of this, she was still a little dazed, and somehow she had come to this point.

Wu Lile thought of the past for a while, and Xing Xiuyun's crying and begging for a while, and the future situation of Huaiyin Palace, until the white belly appeared in the sky, she was still tossing and turning on the bed.

"Miss, it's time to get up. Today is a day of great joy, don't miss the auspicious time." Mrs. Kang Guogong's personal maid Qiu Ju arranged for her whispered outside the bed curtain.

Wu Lile lifted the bed curtain, sighed softly, her black hair drooped down, making her fair face even smaller.

"it is good."

Seeing her getting up, Qiu Ju led a group of maids in with a smile on her face.

Those who fetched water, those who carried basins, those who held clothes... a dozen or so people stood in a row in crimson dresses, festive and lively.

Qiu Ju stood by the bed and inquired, "Maidservant to wash and change Miss?"

After she finished speaking, she said with a smile: "Today is Miss's auspicious time, so naturally I have to prepare earlier. Even if it is a bit hard, I just need to get through this day."

Wu Lile nodded, with neither emotion nor anger on his face. Qiu Ju couldn't help muttering in his heart. Since the Lord entered Kang Guogong's mansion, he has always looked so indifferent. Although he is easy to serve, he has been in contact with him for a long time. , I always feel that I don't show the mountains and don't show the water, so I feel a little jealous in my heart.

Although the heart was complicated, but the work that should be done was not left behind, Qiu Ju changed Xing Li's clothes and freshened up neatly.

After tidying up, Wu Lile sat in front of the bronze mirror in a crimson wedding gown with a cloud pattern of hundreds of bats and long hair draped over her shoulders.

Qiu Ju looked into the bronze mirror, the person in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, and the eyebrows turned like crescents, which was just right for her description.

Qiu Ju's eyes were a little obsessed and couldn't help but boast: "Miss is so beautiful today, she must be the most beautiful newlywed in all of Kyoto."

After finishing speaking, she felt a slip of the tongue, and hastily lowered her head: "My servant, please go and ask the makeup lady to come in and comb the young lady."

Today, the two daughters of Duke Kang's mansion are married together, and if Miss Xingli is the most beautiful, what about Miss Yi.

After a while, a lady dressed in red came in with a smile on her face, blessed and said, "Congratulations to Miss Li!"

Wu Lile wasn't quite used to Xing Li's new name for a while, so she was stunned for a moment before realizing it, bowed her head and said, "Thank you, lady."

She winked at Qiu Ju again, and Qiu Ju immediately understood, picked up a delicately embroidered Shu brocade bag from the red sandalwood tray, and presented it to the makeup lady with both hands: "Mistress, please be careful, and please be happy." .”

This makeup lady is surnamed Liu, and she is the most famous makeup lady in Beijing. With her skillful hands, she can do thousands of tricks and make up thousands of looks. Many married daughters of aristocratic families invite her to go to the house to do their hair and makeup. Without being coy, she took the kit with a smile: "Miss Li, you're being polite. Let me comb your hair. Does the lady have a favorite bun style? You can talk to my concubine..."

Wu Lile shook her head lightly and interrupted her, "No, everything is up to Mrs. Lao."

Mrs. Liu didn't say much anymore, and looked at it for a moment with the bronze mirror, and deftly combed Wu Lile into a Lingyun bun, and picked a suitable hairpin, ring and flower tin pendant from the makeup tray to put on the bun.

After combing it into a bun, Lady Liu looked at the makeup tray, frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Which gold hairpin will Miss Li use today?"

According to the customs of Dayu, on the day of marriage, women will change their braids into buns, which is for upper combing.

After combing, the most important gold hairpin is a bit particular, it must be prepared by the newlywed mother herself, and the hairpin is put on by herself, implying wealth and auspiciousness.

Mrs. Liu also wrote some articles before she came, she probably knew about Miss Li's past, she was a little uncertain, that's why she asked this question.

Naturally, Wu Lile also knew the origin of this gold hairpin, but her parents had long since passed away, so she looked at the gold hairpin with a pearl in the makeup tray and said, "Let's use this one!"

Seeing her being so flattered and humiliated, Madam Liu admired her from the bottom of her heart, picked up the golden hairpin to comfort her, and said, "As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, young lady has a beautiful face and good manners, good fortune is yet to come!"

While speaking, Liu Niangzi was about to put the gold hairpin in his hand into the bun, but he heard a gentle female voice behind him: "Ms. Liu has worked hard, but I have to do my mother's errand... "

Mrs. Liu and Wu Lile were both startled. They turned their heads together and saw Mrs. Kang Guogong wearing a dark red peony pattern dress, standing at the door with a smile on her face, followed by a group of maids and maids.

Wu Lile hurriedly stood up and blessed him: "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Kang Guogong said with a smile: "You child is so happy and silly! How can there be a reason why the mother doesn't come to comb the hairpin when the daughter is married?"

Mrs. Liu had clear eyes and a bright heart, she said a few auspicious words when she saw this, and then retreated.

Wu Lile said a little anxiously: "Mother, come over to my daughter, and sister Xiuyun..."

"I just came from her side." Mrs. Kang Guogong took her hand and explained: "Xiu Yun was spoiled by me, and now she is leaving home, and she must cry a lot. Son, you must not take offense."

Wu Li said happily, "Mother's words are serious."

Mrs. Kang Guogong nodded and patted her hands: "Look at the gold hairpin that mother prepared for you, you still like it."

As soon as the words fell, the maid behind Mrs. Kang Guogong presented a red sandalwood and mother-of-pearl wooden box.

Mrs. Kang Guogong took the wooden box and opened it, and inside lay a golden hairpin in the shape of a bird facing a phoenix.

Looking at the style and appearance of the gold hairpin, you can tell that it is not new, but it is superior in its exquisite workmanship and exquisite materials.

Seeing that Wu Li was happy not to pick it up, the nanny next to Mrs. Kang Guogong was afraid that she would be overwhelmed, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Li, this golden hairpin was given to Madam by the old Mrs. Guo Gong when Madam got married. Madam even embroidered Yun The lady is reluctant to give it to you, so I specially leave it to you."

Wu Lile was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly declined, "Mother, this golden hairpin is too precious, my daughter would never dare to accept it."

Mrs. Kang Guogong carefully put the golden hairpin on her hair, and said with all her heart, "You deserve it. Li'er, although you and my mother and daughter haven't been together for long, I already regard you as my own."

"If you hadn't risked your life to save her, I'm afraid Xiuyun's reputation would have been ruined by now, how could she be married happily?"

Mrs. Kang Guogong took Wu Lile's hand and said sincerely: "I will never forget your kindness to Kang Guogong's mansion and our mother and daughter."

Wu Lile didn't take credit for it, and said frankly: "Sister Xiuyun and I have been kind enough to know each other. It is right to save her. Besides, saving sister Xiuyun is also saving myself."

After a pause, he continued: "If sister Xiuyun made a mistake, I'm afraid I can't escape the responsibility in my capacity."

A trace of shame flashed in Mrs. Kang Guogong's eyes, she sighed lightly and said, "Li'er, I won't hide it from you, but I have some selfish intentions in giving you this gold hairpin."

Under Wu Lile's suspicious gaze, she paused and said, "Xiu Yun is simple-minded and has a deep love for Hexuan, but where is the backyard of the palace? Even if you don't marry today, you will in the future." There are other women who enter the mansion as concubines, and according to Xiu Yun's temperament, she might be bullied."

Mrs. Kang Guogong held her hand tightly, "Li'er, mother entrusted Xiuyun to you, and I hope your sisters will take care of you when I arrive at the Huaiyin Palace, so mother can rest assured."
