Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

On the wedding day, Xichun was pulled up in the middle of the night, and was taken to bathe and shampoo.

After bathing, another old woman came up to open her face, and used two multicolored cotton threads to remove the fluff on Xichun's face.

When the old woman moved, Xichun yelled, and the old woman didn't dare to do anything after that.

Lin Daiyu and Yingchun held her down, "This one doesn't hurt too much, what are you calling for? Finish it early so you can do other things, don't waste time."

Xichun couldn't help but retort, "It doesn't hurt, but this feeling is too weird!"

Yingchun put in more effort, "Then bear with it!"

After speaking, the two of them winked at the old woman, telling her to move faster.

After cleaning her face, Xichun's face became stiff.

Lichun and the others brought hot water to wipe Xichun's face, and after wiping her face, they brought an ice handkerchief to put on Xichun.

Xichun shuddered, and finally came to her senses. Mother Jiang came in with another bowl of glutinous rice balls.

There were not many glutinous rice balls, only six, and Xichun couldn't eat any more after eating four, and it was Jiang's mother who coaxed her to finish eating.

After eating the glutinous rice balls, Xichun began to comb Xichun's hair. Normally, Xichun's mother or the specially invited Wufu people should comb Xichun's hair. Unfortunately, Chun's situation was different, so Xichun decided to let Wang Xifeng comb her hair.

Wang Xifeng was more than happy to comb Xichun's hair, and even helped Ping'er to practice several times in advance.

At this time, Wang Xifeng combed Xichun's hair with a red lacquered huanghuali comb, and sang the words of combing hair, "If you comb your hair once, you don't have to worry about being rich; The child has a long life; Comb to the end again, and the eyebrows are raised; Comb to the end twice, fly together with wings; Comb to the end three times, always tie together and wear together. There is a head and a tail, riches and honor."

Wang Xifeng spoke twice in a row, then simply pulled up Xichun's hair, and then retired.

Hu Nanny and Monk Mammy personally tied Xichun's hair, made hair accessories for her, and then put on her makeup.

Xichun looked at herself in the mirror and felt strange, she just felt that she didn't know herself anymore.

Hu Nanny said softly: "Princess, don't move, be careful of powder falling, and then you will have to remake up."

When Xichun heard this, she didn't dare to move.

Then the two nuns helped Xichun up and dressed her layer by layer.

Xichun froze her head, afraid that her makeup would stain her clothes.

After getting dressed, the two nuns asked Xichun to sit by the bed again, and Lichun came in with a tray, inside was a pair of red embroidered shoes.

Xichun's eyes lit up, and she kept blinking at Lichun.

Li Chun smiled and helped Xi Chun put on the shoes, "Don't worry, princess, we tried to press these shoes last night, so they won't squeeze your feet."

Xichun moved her feet, and was relieved to find that she really didn't feel any discomfort at all as Lichun said.

Mammy Hu straightened Xichun's clothes, and then Mammy Monk took out the phoenix crown and put it on for Xichun.

This princess-level Fengguan has absolutely no water, Xichun subconsciously fell forward as soon as Fengguan was on top, and was supported by two nuns with quick eyes and hands, "Princess, don't move."

Xichun felt that her neck was about to be bent, so she quickly whispered: "Mama, this is too heavy, my neck hurts, can I wear it later?"

The two nuns were unmoved, "The princess has been trained to wear a crown of the same weight before, so don't worry about it."

Xichun wanted to cry, but she didn't wear such cumbersome clothes when she was training to wear a tiara before!

Lixia and Liqiu brought the Xiapei and Yuruyi again, and the two nuns put the Xiapei on Xichun again, and stuffed Yuruyi into Xichun's hands, then took a step back, looked at Xichun carefully before nodding, "Okay."

Xichun now only feels that she is a puppet that can't move, the kind that will creak when it moves.

Everyone also saw Xichun's stiffness, and covered their mouths and laughed, among them Yingchun and the others laughed the loudest.

Xichun gave them a glance, and Yingchun and the others saw what she meant at a glance, and said with a smile: "Oh, we won't have such a big size at that time, and we don't need to wear such a heavy phoenix coronet and Xiapei. Fourth sister, just keep going." , didn’t you often say before? Persistence is victory.”

Xichun was so angry that she asked them where Tanchun had gone with her eyes.

Yingchun said: "Sister Lin and I don't have time to go out, the third sister went to entertain guests with her mother and Aunt Jing."

Tanchun is now aliased as Zhao Bi, and has nothing to do with Jia Zheng's family. In order to make it easier for Tanchun to come and go, the Xing family directly accepted her as a foster daughter. Now she is helping to entertain guests, which is justified.

Lidong just came in from the outside, "Second Grandma Lian, I said earlier that there are many guests, two or three times more than the previous estimate, and I can't entertain them for a while, so I ask you to help me, and I also said that the fruit cakes and tea in front of me It’s also not enough.”

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng raised his feet and walked out, "Is there nothing in the kitchen or there is not enough manpower to deliver it? I didn't go to the kitchen to get the cakes and fruits first. If there are not many in the kitchen, I quickly go to the street to buy them, or go to Xifu to get them. Before, I asked them to make a batch, and if there were not enough people, I just asked the people from the West Mansion to come over. I was afraid that there would be too many people coming, so I specially ordered..."

Lidong followed Wang Xifeng and went out, "There are some in the kitchen, but not many, and we are stepping up to make them now. The main reason is that some kinds of happy fruits may not be enough to return the gift later. The number of people is not bad now, but this is just the beginning. It is estimated that there will be more people in the future. Mrs. Amnesty said to call some more people."

Wang Xifeng hummed, and asked Ping'er to ask which pastry Xiguo was most in short supply.

Lidong and Wang Xifeng walked away, and Xichun's stomach growled listening to the string of dim sum names.

With difficulty, Xichun turned her head to look at the two nuns, her eyes full of longing.

The corners of Nanny Hu's mouth twitched, and Nanny Shang couldn't help stroking her forehead. Finally, she asked the maid to bring some pastries, "I can only eat a little."

What Shangmao said was really just one point, a piece of pastry was divided into six portions, and Xichun would be gone after eating it.

After Xichun ate this snack, she became even hungrier, and looked at the two nuns with longing eyes, but this time the two nuns remained motionless, as if they didn't see Xichun's eyes at all.

Xichun endured it and said, "Water."

Nanny Shang smiled, "The princess ate glutinous rice balls before, so she won't be thirsty after a while."

Xichun recalled the scene of eating glutinous rice balls reluctantly before, and regretted it even more.

Why didn't she say to eat more and drink more soup at that time?

Today I specially invited Qin Tianjian to count on the good weather, the sun came out not long after, Xichun was wearing thick clothes, and soon began to feel hot.

Xichun started talking about wanting to drink water again, this time she stopped looking at the two nuns and ran to stare at Mother Jiang.

Jiang's mother was softened by Xichun's wet eyes, and finally turned around and went out, "Princess, please bear with it, wait for a while, the princess has also talked about it before, so the heart is calm and cool."

Xichun: "..."

Yingchun and Lin Daiyu laughed so hard that their stomachs ached, and in the end Sister Qiao and Brother Hua came over and took a small fan and fanned Xichun lightly.

Only then did Xichun heave a sigh of relief, and looked at the two little guys with emotion.

Sure enough, the pain was not in vain!

Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head, "You can't stand the heat right now, what should you do after that, put on the red hijab and sit in the wedding sedan chair?"

Yingchun also nodded, "That's right, in the sedan chair, a fire box with charcoal and spices will be placed under the bride's seat, what will you do then?"

Xichun's face is almost green, and she also knows this custom. When the bride's natal brother sends the bride to her in-law's house for marriage, she will bring back some ashes, light incense from the kindling, and put it under the fire jar or stove when she returns home. , commonly known as "pour the fire and ashes", also known as "receive the fire".

Now at the end of June, it's okay to be hot outside, but to wear such thick clothes and stay in a lit sedan chair for several hours, it will kill her!

Lin Daiyu said: "If it hadn't been for His Majesty's decree, we would never have set the wedding date at this time. It would be a crime to get married in this weather."

Xichun's eyes became more sad.

At this moment Hu Nanny coughed dryly, saying that she wanted to go out to see how the maids were preparing, Shang Nanny also nodded, saying to go out and have a look, then the maids also smiled and retreated, leaving only Yingchun Lin Daiyu behind.

Yingchun got up and took out a small jar from her pocket. When she opened it, a sour smell came out.

Xichun took a closer look, only to realize that it was soybeans soaked in vinegar.

There was also a pair of small silver chopsticks in the jar, Yingchun picked up the chopsticks, picked up a soybean and carefully stuffed it into Xichun's mouth.

"This is soybeans soaked in vinegar made by my third sister. I asked Qipo about it. I also added some herbs to relieve heat. It tastes good. If you are hot, just put one in your mouth and it will make you feel better." some."

As soon as the soybeans entered his mouth, his mouth was full of sourness, it was refreshing and cool, and Xichun felt much better in an instant, and his eyes narrowed comfortably.

Xichun quickly swallowed the soybeans in her mouth, and opened her mouth gently to let Yingchun continue to feed.

Yingchun smiled and fed her another soy bean, "Don't eat too much for a while, or you may lose your teeth and get gassy easily."

Lin Daiyu also took out a small porcelain red bottle for her, "This is the scented pill I made. Remember to eat one after eating the soybeans. When you don't have it, Xi Niang asks the bride to open her mouth. It smells like vinegar."

Xichun held Yu Ruyi with one hand, took the bottle with the other, and winked at Lin Daiyu.

Yingchun fed a few and didn't let her eat it, "Okay, I can still fan you in the room right now, and eat the rest when the heat on the sedan chair gets too hot."

Yingchun closed the small jar and gave it to Xichun, and said: "I made these soybeans with vinegar. Although I poured the vinegar out afterwards, there is still some vinegar. Be careful when you eat it, don't mess it up." Dirty clothes."

Xichun simply put Yu Ruyi aside, took the jar and carefully packed it with the previous small bottle, and agreed with Yingchun's instructions.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Do you know that we treat you well now? You were glaring at us before."

Xichun bent the corner of her mouth, and slowly said: "Sisters have always been kind to me, sisters, don't worry, I will be so careful when you get married in the future."

Lin Daiyu snorted, "I thought you were a bit more stable, but it's hard for us to deal with you today?"

Xichun naturally said no.

Yingchun half squatted down and looked at Xichun, "I didn't expect that you would be the first to get married among our sisters. Being someone else's wife is different from being a girl at home. You will not be in Beijing after that, so you don't care if you have anything to do." You can only support yourself, and you must be more careful."

Yingchun paused and said: "But don't be afraid, I will come to you in two years, and then we sisters will support each other, just like when we were at home."

When Xichun saw Yingchun's eyes were reddish, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she responded in a low voice.

☆、Hand 160 nine chapters

The three of them talked for a while, and then there was movement outside, Yingchun looked at the time, "It should be the team welcoming the relatives."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, "It shouldn't be so fast."

For a classy wedding like theirs, the time of each process is calculated by someone, it can't be early or late.

Yingchun and Lin Daiyu looked at each other, then Yingchun went out, "I'll go and have a look."

Before Yingchun went out, Lichun lifted the curtain and came in, "Princess! Master Rong is back!"

Xichun opened her eyes wide and subconsciously stood up, "Who are you talking about? Who's back?!"

Li Chun said: "It's Master Rong! It's Master Rong who's back!"

Yingchun and Lin Daiyu also yelled, Xichun immediately wanted to go outside, but was quickly stopped by the two nuns who came in, "The Princess should pay attention if she is happy, Young Master Rong is now seeing the master, and he will definitely come to visit the county later. Lord's."

Yingchun said with a smile, "This is good, Lian's second brother doesn't have to appear."

When Jia Rong came back, the one responsible for carrying Xichun on the sedan chair was naturally Jia Rong.

Xichun was helped to sit back on the bed again, and asked repeatedly: "When did Rong'er come back? How does he look? Has he suffered? Can he attend today? His yard has been cleaned all the time. Where are his clothes? Has his stature changed? Why don't you tell me in advance when you come back."

As soon as Mother Jiang came in, she heard Xichun's series of questions, and said with a smile: "Master Rong just entered the capital today, and he is visiting the master at the moment. The slave and servant took a look from afar and found that he is in good spirits, and he is more educated than before. It was a bit stronger at the time, but it was a little darker."

Xichun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Jiang's mother said again: "Grandma also ordered to go down, and quickly asked people to prepare the clothes and accessories of Master Rong. If it is too late to change, they will go to the clothing store outside to buy."

Jiang's mother hesitated for a while and said: "There is another woman who came back with Master Rong, and the two look very close."

Xichun was startled, but then laughed again, "It's a good thing that Rong'er can get out of the pain of the past and regain her happiness."

Mother Jiang nodded, "The girl looks about the same age as Young Master Rong. Although her behavior is somewhat reserved, she can be seen as the daughter of a good family."

Xichun asked the girl how she arranged it, and Mother Jiang said that it was You who arranged for Yindie Wenhua to lead her down to rest.

Xichun knew that this was to find out the details of the woman.

Jia Rong soon came to see Xichun, and kowtowed to Xichun as soon as she entered the room, "Little aunt, Rong'er is back."

Xichun quickly asked someone to help him up.

Xichun looked at Jia Rong carefully, and found that, as Mother Jiang said, she was stronger than when she was studying, and her mental outlook looked better. "It's darker, but also stronger."

Jia Rong said: "Working on weekdays, and being exposed to the sun and the sea breeze, it will naturally become dark and strong, but don't worry, little aunt, I am in good health."

Xichun asked again: "Then what about your injuries?" She remembered that Jia Rong was discharged from the army due to injuries, and just now she saw that his demeanor was a little bit stiff, as if he was a little slow.

Jia Rong said that he had seen it before, and now it is almost recovered.

Xichun asked Qi Po to invite Qi Po, "Let Qi Po take a look at it for you again. You were not in good health when you left, so it's more reassuring to have a look now."

Jia Rong nodded and said yes.

Seeing Jia Rong like this, Xichun couldn't help but said: "You know you're back now? You don't know how to come back these few years, and don't think about how worried we are!"

Jia Rong was silent for a moment, "It was Rong'er who was wrong before, which made the elders worry."

Xichun said: "Are you going to leave this time or not? I don't care, even if you have to leave, you have to finish this year, or I'll have someone lock you up."

Jia Rong smiled and shook her head, "Rong'er was ignorant before, but now I have figured it out, I won't leave, I should take my due responsibilities."

Xichun said: "Where do you need to take much responsibility, your well-being is the greatest comfort to us."

Jia Rong smiled, "Thank you little aunt for worrying, but Rong'er knows it well, don't worry."

Only then did Xichun nod her head, and there was another commotion outside, this time it was really the bridegroom.

Jia Rong said again: "It's a coincidence that I caught up today, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Yingchun smiled and said, "That's not it, the second elder brother Lian specially trained for a period of time just for today, and now that the errand is gone, he will definitely punish you for drinking."

Jia Rong rubbed her head and smiled, "It should be punished, it should be punished."

The nuns hurriedly touched up Xichun's makeup, and Jia Rong also retreated to change clothes and wash.

When the welcoming team arrived at the gate, Jin Han waved his hand, and a group of people dispersed, some of them were holding baskets and throwing copper coins around, and some were holding red envelopes and stuffing them into the door.

The people at the door only opened the door after collecting the money, and the team entered the door in a whistling manner. The sedan chair stopped in the middle, facing the gate, and a little maid walked around in the sedan chair holding a candle and a mirror.

Those who carried the sedan chairs to celebrate the joy were taken down to eat, and Jin Han also started to break through.

First, I wrote the first make-up reminder poem. As soon as the poem was written, it was sent to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu read it again, and returned the poem, "I put my heart into it, but this is only the first one, let him pass it."

After Jin Han passed the first makeup reminder poem, the guests who followed the bride immediately started to make noise, cheering for Jin Han.

Jin Han walked forward again, and was stopped by Brother Hua when he reached the second Moon Gate.

Hua Ge'er had his hips akimbo, but he was small and imposing. He held his head up and said, "Stop, I'll ask you."

Jin Han stopped in his tracks and asked him to ask with a smile.

Brother Hua said: "Tell me, what is the best little aunt in your heart?"

Jin Han's expression remained unchanged, "In my heart, she is the best everywhere."

Brother Hua's eyes widened. He obviously didn't expect Jin Han to answer like this. He paused and said, "Then will you make little aunt unhappy and sad?"

Jin Han squatted down, looked at Brother Hua, and said seriously: "I can't guarantee this, but the only thing I can guarantee is to do my best to protect her from the wind and rain, and make her happy every day. Be careful if you make her unhappy, I will only let her vent her anger at will and make her happy."

Brother Hua puffed up his mouth, and said again: "Then how do you make her happy?"

Jinhan pondered for a while, "How about not hiding half of my private money? If I make her unhappy at that time, let her not give me money and let me only eat vegetables and not meat."

The people around were sore when they heard this, Brother Hua was also stunned, looking at Jin Han with awe.

How determined is it not to hide private money?He likes to use the monthly money he saved to buy delicious food, and he only eats vegetables and not meat!

Brother Hua opened his mouth, "Then I'll ask you again...Ask you...um..."

Brother Hua turned around, "Sister, I forgot what is behind!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, following Brother Hua's gaze, only to find a lady in a rose red dress holding a fan to cover most of her face, hiding in the porch and looking at this side.

Sister Qiao was also taken aback by Hua Ge'er's body. Seeing everyone watching her, she immediately raised her fan a little higher, covered her face and left.

Brother Hua was also stunned when he saw Sister Qiao leaving. As soon as he opened his mouth, a male guest quickly stuffed a piece of candy, and then he was hugged, "Okay! Let's pass this level too. Already! Young Master, come with us!"

When Brother Hua realized it, he had already been carried forward a long way, smacking his lips, but still didn't make a sound when he tasted the sweetness.

A group of people went to the second door again, Jin Han wrote another makeup poem, this time the poem was sent back by Lin Daiyu, "There is an allusion that was used in the previous poem, and the poetic mood is not as good as Last one."

Jinhan didn't expect to be so strict, so he immediately ruled out most of the make-up reminder poems he had prepared before, and wrote a new one.

This time it was Jia Lian who was guarding the gate, and he smiled and gave Jin Han an account book and an abacus.

"It's a man's business to raise a family and start a business. How can it be so? Do you understand the basics? This account book is specially compiled. Don't worry, it's not difficult. It's all learned by my daughter on weekdays. There are five mistakes in total. If Wang can find it within a stick of incense, he will pass the test."

Jin Han took over the account book and the abacus, "Now I'm only glad that I helped count food and grass in the army before."

As soon as Jia Lian clapped his hands, servants moved tables and stools to block the door.

Jin Han sat down and began to count.

As Jia Lian said, this account book is not difficult. Jinhan quickly found four mistakes, but he couldn't find the fifth mistake.

Jia Lian watched from the side with a smile, urging her twice from time to time, and finally Jin Han shook his head and asked the male guest he had invited to help him take a look.

The person Jin Han invited was a former classmate of the Imperial College, surnamed Feng, who now works in the household department, and the other party laughed after flipping through the account books, "The year of this account book is written last year, but last year Jiangnan was in good weather, and it came out. There are a lot of goods, and the price of the ordinary silk and satin has also been reduced, but the price on the account book is [-]% more expensive."

Only then did Jin Han suddenly realize that the people around him also hissed, and they looked at Jia Lian differently.

This question arises, it is not difficult to say it is difficult, but it is still difficult to say that it is not difficult to make people agree.

Jia Lian smiled and clapped her hands, "Sure enough, he is an expert. It seems that this lord must be dedicated to his duties on weekdays. It is a blessing for the country to have someone like an lord here! We have passed this test!"

Everyone laughed again, the servants quickly removed the tables and stools, and everyone hugged Jin Han to continue walking inside.

Jia Lian hugged Brother Hua back, "Little heartless, let them pass so soon."

Brother Hua was dissatisfied, "Father is too."

Jia Lian grabbed his cheeks, "How dare you talk back? What's in your mouth? Candy again? Do you want your teeth? Are you afraid your mother will talk about you?"

Brother Hua twisted his body, "It was fed by uncle."

Jia Lian said: "Which uncle, do you know him? How dare you eat something from a stranger? Let's see how your mother and sister talk about you when you go back!"

Brother Hua kissed Jia Lian on the face, "Then father just don't say anything!"

Seeing that Jia Lian was still talking, Brother Hua covered his mouth, "Follow me! We're going far away!"

Jia Lian kicked him angrily, but still hugged him and left.
