The eldest married as a merchant's wife

Chapter 63
Girls have to get up early when they get married, and as soon as the fourth watch is over, the hair comber will tap on the door and knock twice: "Wake up early, people are diligent and family rich."Then boil fragrant flowers, pomegranate branches and leaves into soup and take a bath, wash from the tip of the hair to the toes, and put on the white clothes and trousers that have been prepared.When people in the north get married, the bride has to wear red; in Fucheng, there are many old rituals in the early days. Although she wears bright red on the outside, the inside is white, implying the chastity of the girl's family and the obedience after marriage. end.

Xiuhe stood up from the barrel and wiped her body with her back, in case Aunt Hong would laugh at her.

Aunt Hong glanced here and there, not knowing where.Not bothering to talk about her, he handed over the soft white slanted gown, and took Xiuhe's hand away.

"Godmother makes fun of people again, I don't need your help." What Xiuhe couldn't stand was Aunt Hong's eyes like this, so she quickly pulled the belt over and tied it by herself.

Aunt Hong let go of her hand, and said: "The bride's white hair must be kept well, and she will be old and dead, and she must be replaced again, otherwise she will not be able to enter the coffin of his Mei family."

While talking, she asked Xipo to dress Xiuhe and help her out.

Xipo sang: "Please come out of the hall, you have a good reputation—" and sat down on the upside-down rice bucket in the hall of Xiuhe Wang; The mother-in-law came over to comb Xiuhe's face and hair.

The singing is deep and lengthy, long and weird, obviously festive, but it looks like the blind witch walking under the bridge is reciting rituals, bewildered, half awake.

A mirror reflects the figure, the hair is combed first, the girl’s bun is not tied up, and it is twisted into a chain of flowers and coiled behind her head, a golden hairpin is inserted to wear the flower; when the face is fully opened, rouge is applied, and red lips She sipped her lips again, and a fresh and delicate face appeared in the mirror... Bright eyes, spring water rippling, charming and charming, the wives praised her.

Xiuhe slightly moved the hairpin to the side. When she was a child, she was longing and shy when she thought of marrying into the Mei family. When it came time, she felt so quiet in her heart. It was surprisingly quiet.

Aunt Hong has never been married, and has always regarded Ziqing's daughter as her own pain. Xiuhe didn't cry. She watched Xiuhe get married, and she shed tears one by one: "Going to someone else's house, this stubborn temper But you have to change it. Being a daughter-in-law is no better than being a girl. You have to suffer grievances and swallow hardships... You should also be able to swallow it. You are always persuaded and you are not willing to listen. The third young master Geng is so good. He is capable and protects you, but now he is harmed by you..."

Xu Shi thought of something he shouldn't say, and quickly turned the topic around: "Mr. Mei is good or bad. After all, he has a young master's temper and doesn't know how to take care of others. You are alone in the deep house compound. Who will help you?"

Hearing that person's name again... Xiuhe touched slightly with her fingertips. She had slapped him twice on the Jinzhi Bridge that time, but she never appeared in front of her again, nor did she see him in the Mei Family Ancestral Hall. , a big living person disappeared out of thin air.On the contrary, I saw Mrs. Geng grabbing the medicine a few times on the street, and she smiled at her from a long distance away. Her smiling eyes were gentle, and she always seemed to be hesitant to say something. Xiuhe felt inexplicably uneasy, and felt embarrassed to walk over ask.

Forget it, looking in the mirror, her long hair has been tied up into a bun. From now on, the girl's family's worries should also be hidden, and she should make a break with the past.

Xiuhe said: "It's a fair marriage, and it's not a prostitution. If the godmother wants to show up in the future, come in and have a look. Don't cry."

"Stop it, what are you talking about when you are so happy!" Guan Changhe walked in from the gate in a brand-new dress. At first glance, he saw the girl with her hair and makeup, and his eyes were dull.Thinking about getting along day and night all these years, watching her go from being born with a big fist to being sent out as a beautiful bride now, I really feel a little uncomfortable.
