The preparations for the Xia family's wedding started very early, and when the wedding day came, they became even busier.It was not until the day before the wedding that all the necessary items were finally ready.

Ba Xipo was invited over before dinner. Although she was not Puyu's main matchmaker, she had run errands for Xia and Chen's family, and she was also someone who knew the wedding customs well; she was around fifty, fat, white and happy. move.

After having dinner with Mrs. Xia, Baxi Po came to Puyu's room with a smile on her face, and mysteriously persuaded Chunxiang who came here with her to leave, and even Bi'er gave her money. Went there, leaving only Pu Yu in the room with her.

Baxi Po closed the door, walked up to Pu Yu with her hands folded in front of her belly, and taught her the rituals and rules that a bride should follow when she gets married, and taught her in detail the essentials of everything. How does she do it.

Baxi's teeth were sharp and sharp, and she blurted out what she said, as if she had already memorized it by heart.

Pu Yu sat in front of the dressing table indifferently, listening to Baxi Po pouring the water out of the gorge without saying a word.

After a long time, Baxi Po had memorized all the sutras that a newlywed woman should know, and finally she asked another question:

"Miss Xia, have you remembered everything?"

When she talked for a whole stick of incense, Pu Yu was a little disturbed, but she still said calmly:

"Grandma, I've written down everything you said, you can report to my mother now."

Baxipo spoke very enthusiastically here, but she saw that Miss Xia was always indifferent, unlike other brides-to-be, who asked this and that endlessly.She was singing a one-man show here by herself, but she also felt bored, so she stopped talking and went out to meet Mrs. Xia.

The next day, before dawn, Mrs. Xia got up first, Chunmei, Chunxiang, and the servants at home also got up behind Mrs. Xia, and started working early.

In more than an hour, the Shen family's welcoming people will arrive. The servants of the family, as well as the newly recruited servants who do odd jobs, are ordered by the housekeeper Xia An to run away.Inside and outside the Xia family house, everything that needs to be hung must be quickly hung up, and what needs to be pasted must be pasted neatly.All the objects to be placed should be placed according to the position and time, and if there is a slight deviation, they must be relocated; and good sacrifices should be made to the gods of the four directions, the kitchen god, and the ancestor gods to pray for a smooth and safe marriage.

Everyone in the Xia family put on their new clothes.Mrs. Xia wore her festive purple gown, went to the front to check that everything was ready, and then came to Puyu's room at the back.

After Pu Yu got up in the morning to wash up, she had been sitting on the edge of her embroidered couch.Even though Chunxiang and Bier were busy going in and out, she just watched them busy silently as if she had nothing to do with her own business, with neither sadness nor joy on her face.

After Mrs. Xia entered the room, she saw that Puyu was still sitting still, so she walked over and sat next to her, and said to her earnestly for a while, asking her how to serve her parents-in-law well after she got married, obey women's morals, etc. It seems trivial, but it is the way of being a wife that any married woman cannot take lightly.

Pu Yu silently nodded in agreement with her mother's earnest words.Mrs. Xia got up and walked over after exhorting her, and looked at the silk clothes, jewelry and other items placed in several cases and boxes on the ground—these are all dowry for Pu Yu.

Mrs. Xia urged Bi'er to dress up and change the young lady's clothes after reading it. While she was giving orders, she suddenly remembered that she still had something to forget, and hurried to the front yard again.

Bi'er brought over a gilt makeup box with twig patterns from the table. This makeup box, together with the jewelry rings inside, were ordered and purchased in advance at the street shop.

Bi'er put the square gold-plated wooden box on the dressing table, unfastened the lock on it and opened it, then she turned her head to look at Miss Puyu—Miss Puyu was still sitting on the side of the bed motionless as before. .

"Miss, it's time to do your makeup!" Bi'er said.

But Pu Yu didn't seem to hear Bi'er's words, she didn't even blink her eyes, she still sat indifferently.

"Miss!" Bi'er called out again from where she was.

Pu Yu, who didn't want to move, heard Bi'er calling her repeatedly, so she walked over listlessly and sat on the embroidered pier in front of the dressing table.When Bi'er took off the red silk covering the bronze mirror, Pu Yu saw her own dull face in the mirror.

Bi'er stood behind Puyu, put down the bun that the lady had casually rolled up after getting up in the morning, smoothed her hair with her fingers, and combed it out.Then he took the agarwood comb in the dressing box, and gently combed it from the top to the tip of the hair. Pu Yu's long and smooth hair was scattered behind her after combing.

Put the comb back into the dressing box, and replace it with a red sandalwood comb. The fine teeth of the comb pass through the hair. After combing twice, the hair looks black and silky.

After combing her hair, Bea began to pull it up.This time, the shape of the hair bun that Bier will comb for Pu Yu is different from any other time before.However, she has already learned how to comb and pull from Chunmei.

Bi'er held the grate in one hand, and at the same time cooperated with the other hand to comb her hair meticulously.The grate and comb are used interchangeably in her hands, and she combs her hair again and again from time to time.After a while, the firm and beautiful bride Xiangyun bun was ready under her hands.

After the hair was done, Bier started to finish the face. The young lady's skin is already fair, so there is no need to apply too much powder, and the focus is on the matching of makeup and powder.She blended the powder, and then used her fingers to gently apply it to the young lady's face little by little, until it was evenly spread, and then fine-tuned her cheeks and forehead.

Then Bi'er drew the eyebrows for the young lady, and used Dai to draw two slender eyebrows, and decorated them with gold powder at the tip of the eyebrows. The eyebrows were like the feathers of a phoenix bird, and the brilliance was vivid.

Bi'er began to touch her lips, gently applied red rouge to her lips, and then lightly outlined the shape of her lips. The lips were as fragrant as red cherries, and all the makeup was brightened.

Then stick a small red flower tin to the center of her eyebrows, and then put a pair of round beads and jade earrings on the young lady.

Finally, Bi'er took out another exquisite head flower from the makeup box, and put it on the young lady's hair.And at the side of the head in front of the bun, insert a red and emerald green step shaker.

After finishing all this, Bi'er took a step back and looked around, the whole makeup looked even more beautiful.Beer thought it was all right, so she said:

"Miss, you are ready to make up, can you see it?"

Pu Yu, who had been sitting quietly with her eyes closed, opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror and nodded.

Bi'er took out the newly-made clothes and shoes and other bride's wedding dress, and helped Miss Pu Yu put them on.

Mrs. Xia and the others looked around, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the people from the Shen family to welcome her.

Just after the hour of the hour, the people from the Shen family came to welcome the relatives. The drums and gongs of "Dong Dang Dang" and "Cracking" were accompanied by the sound of "cracking" firecrackers. This sound has alarmed the whole neighborhood. All the young and old flocked to the gate of Xia's house to watch.

The members of the Xia family welcomed the Shen family's wedding team into their home, greeted each other and offered tea and wine.After going through the rules, the groom brought people to the door of Puyu's boudoir, and urged the bride to get up and go on her way.

Bi'er lowered the curtain that was partly raised, and looked back at the young lady who was sitting still.In the room, Puyu's nurse, Chunxiang, and the others anxiously waited on her.

In front, Mrs. Xia anxiously sent someone to ask Miss over and over again if she was ready.Finally, Pu Yu, who had not moved for a long time, stood up under the repeated urging of the crowd.

Bi'er walked over, and handed over to Pu Yu the covering fans for all the married women here.Then, the nanny went ahead and lifted the curtain, Bier helped the young lady to go out, followed by Chunxiang.

Seeing the newlyweds finally came out of the room, the greeters changed direction and led the way out first.

Pu Yu covered her face with a fan of embroidered flowers, and walked cautiously with Bi'er's support.When she got out of the house and was about to get in the car, she turned her head towards the door, stepped on the pedals, and got into the two-horse Xi car, and Bier followed her into it.

At this time, firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared again, and the carriage carried the bride around.The drummers of the Shen family welcomed the bride, playing the drums to open the way; the groom rode a tall horse and walked in the middle of the procession; both sides of the street were full of spectators.

Sitting in the car, Pu Yu took the embroidered fan away from her eyes, leaned on the car window, and wanted to see her parents, family, and Xia's family again.However, she didn't look at it, the car was moving forward, and she couldn't see the back, only the neighbors who were watching along the way.

Pu Yu was very disappointed that she didn't see her parents. She felt in her heart that she had left her parents forever and the home she was familiar with.The deep sorrow that wanted to cry filled her chest, but she endured it and still didn't cry out.She sat upright against the inner wall of the carriage.

Seeing Miss leaning on the car window to look out, Bi'er also turned her body to look out. Through the curtain, she couldn't see the door and people of Xia's family. Although she was only a servant girl of Xia's family, today, she I will also be attached to this "home".Leaving with Miss today means that she has left the family since then.

Suddenly, a long-lasting feeling rose from her heart, it was a familiar and sad feeling, it was the feeling of parting from her parents and relatives very early.It's just okay, that feeling only existed in her heart for a while, and it didn't hurt very much, because this time, she left with Miss Pu Yu, and she didn't have the despair she had at the beginning.
