Brocade tears

Since ancient times, there have been six ceremonies in the marriage process, starting with Nacai, after asking names, Najib, Nazheng, asking for a date, welcoming relatives, and finally getting married.But Meng Kuang and Sui Er directly skipped the first five steps, skipping even the wedding ceremony, and directly entered the step of worship.

Mencius Xiu said, they use fate as a matchmaker, and the deceased father can be said to be their matchmaker, so you can skip the Na Cai and so on.In the step of asking their names, Daoist Luo actually calculated their horoscopes for them a long time ago, and the horoscopes of the two of them were surprisingly close. Of course, Sui'er's birthday horoscopes were not confirmed until after Meng Kuang met with Ma Chengye. She was born on the seventh day of the first lunar month, because Sui'er's mother celebrates her birthday every year at this time.But because Sui'er knew that her mother Li Minghui was not her biological mother, she couldn't confirm that the date of birth was accurate until Ma Chengye also said so.

Najib is the so-called alliance. In fact, Meng Kuang and Sui Er completed this step nine years ago. They exchanged gifts with each other. Meng Kuang gave Sui Er the Jade Buddha that he had worn next to his body for many years. Sui'er gave her a purse embroidered with wild geese. These two things are still carefully treasured by the two of them. Jade Buddha Sui'er has always worn it next to her body.As for the wild goose purse, Meng Kuang was afraid of losing it, so he kept it in the treasure chest at home.

Since Sui'er has no relatives and family, the step of accepting Zheng is also omitted, because she alone represents the whole family. When she enters the Meng family, the family will basically be in charge of her, and it seems that it is not so necessary if she can't make a dowry.And there is no choice in the step of asking for a date. In order to get married before leaving for Liaodong, they only have one day.

This day is October [-]th, and Meng Kuang will always remember this day.She and Sui'er held their wedding ceremony in Lingji Hall. The ceremony started at noon and lasted until dusk.

On that day, there were no lanterns and festoons outside the Lingji Hall, nor was the door opened for banquets, and there was no playing, singing, gongs or drums. Instead, the door was closed to thank the guests.This supposedly unprecedented and shocking woman-to-woman wedding began quietly in Lingji Hall.There were only a few guests at the banquet that day. Meng Kuang invited his colleagues with the strongest connections in Jinyiwei—Luo Xun, Guo Dayou, and Zhou Jintong. Sui'er invited princesses Zhu Qingpei, Ban Ruhua, and Zhao Suzhi in her own name. , Qiu Bai and four people.

In the morning, it was time for preparations. The second elder brother Meng Zixiu was on behalf of Meng Kuang to pick up the guests from the host family. The male guests came one after another and began to sit and chat with each other.The female guests enter the back hall, those who sit at the table, and those who rush through the door.As the protagonists, Sui Er and Meng Kuang, one in the West Wing and the other in the East Wing, separately prepare for makeup.

Meng Kuang applied makeup for the first time in her life. This was a brand new experience for her, but the whole process was not very comfortable. The snow-white lead powder puffed on her face, thrushed her eyebrows, licked her cheeks, and licked her lips. Layered mask, more uncomfortable than her Shura mask.When I finally looked in the mirror, I almost didn't recognize myself.Is this pretty, or not?Although her younger sister and her second sister-in-law Bai Yuyin, who helped her with makeup, said that she was absolutely beautiful, Meng Kuang just felt very uncomfortable. She felt that she still looked most comfortable without makeup.And because her hair is not as long as that of ordinary women, and it only hangs down to the length of the vest, it is enough to pull up a man's hair in a bun, but many women's hair accessories cannot be made, so in the end I made the simplest bun for her. Put on the topknot that was prepared for her at home a few years ago - inlaid with jade and flower tinctures, a topknot with necklaces, a phoenix with a heart and a golden crown, and put on this head Luxurious, makeup ready.

It was the first time for Meng Kuang to experience the wealth of her own family. Their life in the Meng family was simple, and their basic necessities were almost the same as those of ordinary people. She only knew that her uncle's family was rich, but she didn't know that her own family could be so rich and afford such an honor. .Youdao is once an official, no longer a civilian. Jinyiwei is the royal army. Her father has been a Jinyiwei for so many years. It is actually very easy to amass money, but her father is very restrained. He has been in the army for many years, and what he saves is only his daughter Dowry.

The lunch banquet is held after noon. According to the traditional method, it is a flowing water banquet, and the banquet should be held until dusk.But today’s Meng family’s wedding was not like this. It was just that the family members and the guests sat together for the banquet. Meng Kuang and Sui’er, as newcomers, could not come out at this time, but were just waiting in the back hall. They could only eat some snacks to pad their stomachs.In the banquet hall of the front hall, the second elder brother Meng Zixiu replaced the task of receiving the guests, which was supposed to be undertaken by the groom. As the uncle and aunt of Gao Tang, he had a good time with the children of the family and the guests.

Waiting until dusk, that is, entering the auspicious time, the wedding officially began.When two women get married, they do not marry separately.But if we judge according to the traditional concept, Sui Er should marry into the Meng family this time, because Sui Er does not have a family. After she married Meng Kuang, she would live with the Meng family.Therefore, there are differences between Meng Kuang and Sui Er in terms of wedding arrangements and actions.For example, Meng Kuang doesn't cover her head. Although she is wearing a wedding dress with a phoenix crown and a xiapei, she needs to go outside the west wing to pick up the ears.The gatekeepers outside Sui'er's room are Meng Yan and Bai Yuyin.In fact, Meng Yan and Bai Yuyin are both from the Meng family, which is not in accordance with etiquette, but this wedding cannot be judged by common sense, so they are only selected based on their closeness to Sui'er.

Meng Kuang broke through Meng Yan and Bai Yuyin's barrier before he could open the door of the west chamber to welcome Sui'er out, and led Sui'er covered with a red hijab with a red silk bow to the front hall to salute.They have to go around from the side passage to the front yard, and enter the hall across the brazier in the front yard.Entering the hall, first kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to pay homage to the tablets of heaven, earth, monarchs, relatives, teachers and ancestors on the confession table. This is called worshiping heaven and earth.Then kneel three times and kowtow nine times to the uncle and aunt sitting on the main seat in the hall. This is called worshiping Gaotang.In the end, the new couple bows to each other, which is called the couple's salute.

Meng Kuang's outfit surprised everyone so much that they couldn't speak.During the wedding, everyone's eyes were on Meng Kuang and it was difficult to take them away.The tomboy Meng Qing in everyone's minds, had never dressed up properly since she was a child, and she had never been gentle and gentle like a girl, but now she was wearing a phoenix coronet and a scarf. Marry your beloved woman like a queen who rules the world.This scene seemed to happen in a dream, making everyone sigh in a trance.In the vicissitudes of the world, it is really unimaginable how much a person can change.

Maybe only Luo Daochang can keep calm. He watched Meng Kuang grow step by step to the present. Among the elders, only he knows how hard this girl is and how good she is.He could also often see the appearance of Meng Kuang's unkempt daughter's home when he was living at home, and he would not be too surprised by her female attire.

Daoist Luo acted as the official of ceremonies. Although it seemed very unpopular to have a monk officiate at the wedding, for the Meng family, there was no more suitable candidate than him.After the worship, Meng Kuang still took Sui'er and went to the bridal chamber.The bridal chamber is actually the west wing room. After the two entered, they continued to complete the etiquette and customs according to the arrangement.Wo washes his hands ready to salute, picks up the beam to cover his head to satisfy his wishes, eats the same prison food, drinks the wine, and cuts off the hair to tie it. From then on, the two are lifelong partners and will never leave.

Because the two of them were going to leave early in the morning of the second day, the custom of the bride's worshiping her parents-in-law on the second day was moved to today, and the uncle and aunt moved to the front hall of the West Wing to complete the ceremony with Meng Kuang. Sui'er, on the other hand, served tea to the two elders.Uncles and aunts have tea, and finally they have to say some words of advice to the bride, Sui Er.However, Uncle and Aunt didn't know if they were too moved that day. All the two elders said were auspicious words that they hoped that Sui Er and Meng Kuang would be safe and sound for a long time, but they didn't say any words of admonition at all.

After the tea ceremony was over, all the guests left the door, and the step of making a fuss in the bridal chamber was omitted by everyone.Because the purpose of the bridal chamber is to break the embarrassment and unfamiliarity between the bride and groom when they first meet, but there is no such problem between Meng Kuang and Sui Er. On the contrary, the time they spend alone is precious and cannot be occupied by others.Everyone was very knowledgeable, so before it was completely dark, only Meng Kuang and Sui Er were left in the west wing.

Ever since Meng Kuang lifted the hijab, she has been in a bad state, because all her attention was on Sui Er, and she couldn't move it away for a moment.Sui'er is an extremely beautiful woman. Her facial features are delicate and bright, and she has a natural charm. Her voice is soft and her voice is soft, and her figure is delicate and exquisite, which can instantly arouse people's desire for protection.But on weekdays, Sui'er dresses plainly. Since she is at the bottom all the year round, she seldom dresses up well. Meng Kuang has almost never seen Sui'er decorated with powder and daisy.

And Sui'er's makeup today is really amazing, the powder, daisy and rouge are all embellished just right, magnifying the beauty of her facial features to the extreme.Especially those amber apricot eyes that seem to contain clear springs, bubbling with meaningful thoughts, shining brightly between glances, so charming that you can't take your eyes away.It's not just Meng Kuang. In fact, when Meng Kuang lifted the hijab, everyone present was amazed by her.

Now that he was alone, Meng Kuang couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment. After seeing off the guests and closing the door, she turned around and hugged Sui'er horizontally, hugging her intimately in her arms, admiring her face up close.Sui'er was startled by her, couldn't help laughing and said:

"Why are you in such a hurry, take off your makeup first, otherwise you won't feel too uncomfortable with the hairpin on our head and the pink face." She nestled in Meng Kuang's arms, hooking her neck Looking at her face with makeup, I felt that I got to know Meng Qing again.Her elder sister Qing was supposed to be such a great beauty, and Meng Kuang, the Jinyi Wei in men's clothing, was not all of her.But Sui'er also knows in her heart that Meng Qing is incomplete without Jinyi Wei Meng Kuang. Meng Qing is the collection of all her past, and all her experiences have determined that she has become the person Sui'er is fascinated by now.

Meng Kuang kissed her lips lightly, obeyed her words, and put her down.After putting her down, the hand around her waist still didn't let go, and he praised emotionally:

"Sui, you are so beautiful today..."

Sui'er felt a sweet taste from the bottom of her heart, raised her hand to scratch the bridge of her nose and said: "Now my mouth is sweet."

The two helped each other dismantle the bun, take off the wedding dress, and washed off the makeup on their faces with the warm water they had prepared long ago.Meng Kuang took care of Sui'er to wash her face first. When she mixed hot water again to wipe off the rouge and gouache on her face, Sui'er suddenly said:

"Qing, I still want to see you make up in the future, would you like to draw for me?"

Seeing Sui Er's blushing face looking at him, Meng Kuang knew that the girl was wrong, and she was actually complimenting her makeup today tactfully.She raised a smile and said, "If you want to see it, then I will draw it. But there are conditions..."

"What condition?" Sui'er asked her curiously.

"You have to show me the drawing too, otherwise it's not fair, and I'll add a kiss." Meng Kuang laughed.

"You've started haggling." Sui'er laughed.

While washing and cleansing his face, Meng Kuang said vaguely, "I still have to dress up as a man on weekdays. It's not so easy to put on makeup, so it's only fair to ask for more."

"Unreasonable!" Sui Er dipped her fingers in water, and flicked her fingers to splash her.Meng Kuang smiled and blinked, wiped off the remaining water drops on his face, threw the towel into the copper basin, wrapped Sui'er into his arms with his long arms, locked her naughty hands, and said with a smile: "Accept today's reward first." After saying that, with a domineering attitude that could not be refused, he raised Sui'er's chin, lowered his head and kissed her bright red lips.

Although Sui'er's mouth fat has been removed, her lips are still bright red, which makes Meng Kuang linger and suck repeatedly.Sui Er seemed to be inattentive, she looked out of the window, under the glow of red candles, the night outside was already dark, and there seemed to be someone shaking outside the window, she covered Meng Kuang's lips with her hand, and asked pantingly:

"Could someone be listening to the wall?"

"Really? Then let people listen. You and I are husband and wife. Aren't the things between husband and wife just like those things? What are they curious about? If they are curious, then go and find a companion." Meng Kuang said deliberately loudly.

Sneering and spitting came from outside the window, and the people hiding outside listening to the wall finally left with rustling steps.Sui'er laughed out loud, tugged at Meng Kuang's belt and asked, "Why are you so shameless today?"

"I'm in a hurry, lady, we both have limited time, so let's get down to business as soon as possible, and we have to get up early tomorrow." Meng Kuang's impatience came up again, and while talking, he picked up Sui'er again, straddled Step by step to the side of the bed.

Sui'er brushed away the hair from her ear, grabbed her ear and said: "Qing, what you said is wrong, you are also my wife, we are not husband and wife, you are my wife, and I am your wife, that's right." .”

"Okay, okay, you are right. I am your wife, and you are my wife. We are wife and wife." Meng Kuang replied absent-mindedly, as if to comfort a child.Sui Er insisted on talking to her at this juncture, but she was determined to eat Sui Er. She had been thinking about this for several months.

As soon as Sui'er was put on the bed, Sui'er suddenly grabbed her skirt and pulled her to him, hooked her around her neck, and said:

"Then lady, why don't you let me come first?"

Meng Kuang was stunned, and then his face became inexplicably hot. He looked away and said, "I'm afraid I'll tire you. You're weak. I'm strong. It doesn't matter if I serve you."

Sui'er rolled her eyes, but her face was very red, she pinched Meng Kuang's nose and shook it and said, "You are so stupid, why don't you serve me, I love you and love you, I want you to feel that feeling. If you torment me so hard, I'm exhausted, how can I let you taste that? Be good, we have to have each other on our wedding night. You see, for today, I even made female red nails It’s all smoothed and rounded, so I’m afraid of hurting you.”

Meng Kuang smiled, and in Sui'er's eyes, this smile seemed inexplicably charming, yet utterly cute.She also raised her rounded, clean and fresh fingers and said, "Why do we have such a good understanding on this matter?"

After finishing speaking, her kiss covered Sui'er's lips again, and with a strong push of her arm, she turned over and sent Sui'er to herself.Sui'er got a clear hint, and the corners of her lips kissed by Meng Kuang couldn't help but curve.She is sunny, dressed in red, with loose black hair, dragging all over the brocade couch.She was lying on her back under her body, her eyes were full of emotion, and she looked a little shy, waiting for her pick.Such a Meng Qing is rare to see, and a glimpse is like a thousand years, which is heart-stopping.

The belt had already been undone, and her fingers trembled slightly as she untied her skirt...
