Ning Chen Ling Xiao

Soon it will be the day of make-up on the seventh day of August. Many ladies and ladies from the imperial city came to add make-up to Ling Zhi. Outside Ling Xiao greeted him, and inside Mrs. Shi, Jing Yu and a few acquainted Mrs. .

"Let me see..." Concubine Anyang came with her little daughter happily, took Ling Zhi's hand and looked at it again and again, then turned to Mrs. Shi with a smile, "The old sister is blessed, look at this upbringing The girl who came out... Tsk tsk, I often tell people, it's really rare."

Ling Zhi was wearing a bright red brocade and sitting in the inner room. Several ladies who were close friends with her in the boudoir were chatting and laughing around her. Ling Zhi rarely put on heavy makeup today, and her bright red cheeks were extremely shy and cute. Listening to the ladies The praise was even more embarrassing, bowed his head and twisted the handkerchief without saying a word.

Mrs. Shi smiled, adding a bit of joy to her face. Concubine Anyang took it and the girl behind her took the brocade box and said with a smile: "A little thing, let's add makeup to the girl."

Mrs. Shi saw that there were two sets of Jin Xiangyu heads, and said with a smile: "Is this still a gadget? Haha, let's put it on..."

The brocade box that Madam Li received was put away, and the wives went to look at it. According to the custom, on this day, the bride's family will display the dowry gift from the man and the dowry prepared by herself. Ladies value this most, Mrs. Shi smiled inwardly, because Shi Mingcheng and Ling Xiao spent so much money on it, Ling Zhi's betrothal dowry was very easy to display.

First of all, seeing the betrothal gifts of the Shi family, the young ladies were amazed. They had heard about the rich and wealthy Shi family in the south of the Yangtze River, but they never thought that the Shi family could give such betrothal gifts for the marriage of their second son. Mrs. Xiangguo laughed and said: I heard that the Shi family attached great importance to their marriage with your mansion, and now I see that it is indeed the case... This is also reasonable. I heard that Shi Tanhua directly asked the Holy One to marry him with grace after the palace examination. Since he was so intentional, the dowry Nature is indispensable."

"It's not the same as you were back then, haha..." Mrs. Shi smiled at Mrs. Xiang Guogong, who nodded and smiled, and ordered the girl to bring up the two jade ruyis she brought.

Everyone knew that Mrs. Xiangguogong was also a marriage gift that the young master Xiangguogong himself asked in front of the palace, but they didn't know that Shi Tanhua in Shiming City was also like this. Suddenly, the women in the room were envious. It's rare in the first place, it turns out that someone who loves Gu Lingzhi so much, tsk tsk, it's really rare.

Everyone went inside again to see Ling Zhi's dowry, and they were amazed again, such a generous dowry is really commensurate with Shifu's dowry.

除了笀康侯府里的定例嫁妆和韦庄当年带过来的嫁妆，凌霄又添了揽翠轩全套的头面36套、四季精制衣袍各十二套、绣五彩缎衣袍锦十二匹、云锦十二匹、金线妆缎十二匹、片金36匹、蟒缎36匹、大卷五丝缎66匹……各色药材香料36匣、嵌二等东珠二十颗、嵌五等东珠五十颗、珊瑚两盆、金丝猫眼石一匣、极品红宝石一匣……黄花梨攒海棠花围拔步床一张、酸枝美人榻一张、檀木描金屏风一架、国色天香绣纱屏风一架、拢香牡丹描金炕屏一架、苏绣梨花炕屏一架、黄花梨连三横柜两套、紫檀木缂丝笀富小炕桌两张……

The wives couldn't help praising her when they saw it, and then looked at the red tiles wrapped in red cloth with Chinese characters "囍" and the adobe wrapped in colored paper... I have long heard that Ling Xiaohou loves his sister, but I don't know how to do it For this reason, all the servants were amazed, and many young ladies nodded their heads, wondering if they would have such beauty when they got married.

Ling Yi watched from the side and couldn't help clenching her hands, the bright red nails stuck into the palm of her hand, she felt sorry, she might as well have listened to the persuasion and settled the marriage early, and now her eldest lady's marriage is ranked behind the second lady. Said, it's just two short months later, when these wives come to congratulate her again, won't they laugh at their little betrothal gift and dowry?

Ling Yi doesn't dare to be strong now, she is afraid that if she offends Mrs. Shi, she will lose her dowry, and even Xia Lan has restrained a lot on weekdays, but it's a pity that they don't understand that freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, The filial piety of a few days is too thin compared to Ling Zhi's sincere filial piety for more than ten years. Now Ling Yi only hopes to marry a husband in Yu's mansion who can think of herself as Miss Hou Men's sake. Ling Yi still doesn't know the ups and downs after marriage, of course, that's another story.

At this time, it was rumored that Mrs. Jing from General Fenyong's residence had come, Mrs. Shi hurriedly called Jing Yu over, and said with a smile, "Your wife is here, come quickly."

When Jing Yu heard that her natal wife was coming, she quickly greeted her. She was raised by Mrs. Jing since she was a child, and Mrs. Jing loved her very much even though she had no daughters. The two mothers and children are very close. Jing Yu said with a smile: "Morning Just wait for my wife to come, it’s a hot day, so it’s going to be hot all the way?”

"No." Mrs. Jing handed the brocade box ready to add makeup to the girl in the mansion, and said with a smile, "It's already a lot better in August, let alone putting on makeup for your sister-in-law, let alone the sun. Even if there is a knife in the sky, it will come."

Jing Yu also talked to Mrs. Jing about the affairs of the mansion in private. Mrs. Jing also knew that the second lady took good care of her daughter, especially after Jing Yu became pregnant, butler Ling Zhi kept adding things to Jing Yu. Mrs. Jing listened Only those who are grateful for Ling Pheasant.

Mrs. Shi also smiled and greeted her in-laws for a while, then patted Mrs. Jing's hand and laughed softly: "Go in and see my brother if you have nothing to do later." Then she turned her head and whispered to Jing Yu: "Don't stay here, Take some time to accompany your wife to go in and have a look." Xiaoxiao went to greet other people.

Everyone was commenting on Ling Pheasant's dowry. The deacon outside came to pass on the reward from the palace. Mrs. Shi hurriedly sent someone to summon Ling Xiao. In front of him, Ling Xiao had already knelt down to thank the Eastern Palace for the reward, and let the maids carry it in. up.

"The second young master said that it was the crown prince and concubine who added makeup to our young lady." Liao Ting is now married to Lin Mao and has become a wife, and he is more capable and neat in handling things. I want Second Miss to cherish herself, and when the busy period is over, I still have to take Second Miss into the palace, and there will be rewards at that time."

Mrs. Shi quickly picked it up, and saw that there were four strings of pearl bracelets, four strings of aloes, four gold collars, six silver collars, one gold phoenix with pearls and silk, one gold phoenix with emerald green silk, and gold necklaces. One phoenix hairpin, one pair of red gold inlaid long hairpins, one pair of white jade long hairpins, twelve pieces of chiffon tribute satin, twelve pieces of gold embroidered palace satin...

Everyone knew that Ling Zhi was very much loved by the Crown Princess, and they even praised Ling Fei for being blessed. Mrs. Shi also knew that the Crown Princess was doing this to make a face for Ling Zhi, so she smiled and guessed that it was almost time, and said with a smile: "Ladies, sit down and have some fruit for dessert."

Where did the orders come to eat, just to use some tea, there are so many people in the room, but because there are too many ice basins, they don't feel hot, and they also used some things while talking, Mrs. Shi went inside to look at Lingzhi again , smiled and said a few words to her, and after a while, the Shi family's make-up person came, Mrs. Shi rushed out to greet her, and saw a few housekeepers holding the auspicious clothes that Ling Zhi would wear tomorrow, and said with a smile : "My wife is overjoyed."

Mrs. Shi responded with a smile, and hurriedly ordered people to receive the housekeepers. Shi Mingcheng brought eight young talents from the imperial city to make up. They were all entertained by Ling Xiao, and a few of them were also Ling Xiao. After getting acquainted, everyone was overjoyed, and after a while Ling Xiao sent it out happily.

Mrs. Shi ordered someone to send the auspicious phoenix coronet to the inner room. Several orders looked at the finger-sized pearl on the phoenix crown and joked: "This new uncle really doesn't care for others. Such an expensive phoenix crown is not afraid that the second lady will think it too heavy. of."

Mrs. Shi laughed loudly, and was greeted by others, and then she went to talk to the few Gaoming who just came over.

After a busy day, she finally took a break at night. Mrs. Shi went to bed early in order to refresh her mind and cope with tomorrow's bustle. Ling Xiao also had a busy day ahead, took a rest after dinner and went to Shuyuxuan.

"Your sister is tired?" Ling Xiao smiled and took a box and ordered the girls to go down. Ling Zhi poured a cup of tea for Ling Xiao by himself, nodded and said in a low voice: "Brother is really tired, just for me ..." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and Ling Xiao hurriedly comforted him: "What are you talking about? You are my sister, who will I help you if I don't help you? Don't be like this, let's talk about it for a while. talk."

Ling Zhi nodded, took a handkerchief and wiped his eyes: "Today, there are many ladies and ladies in Huazhuang, it's very lively."

Of course it was lively, and without looking at who was marrying the lady, Ling Xiao smiled, handed the box he brought to Ling Zhi, and said in a low voice: "This is the private house that my brother gave you, you don't need to tell others."

Ling Zhi opened it and saw: a box full of bank notes!

"Brother!" Ling Zhi was speechless in shock. Ling Xiao took her hand and said softly: "You know the Lancuixuan in the city? There is also Jinfenbuzhuang, those are my shops A few years ago, I bought these for the convenience of things in the future, and it can be regarded as a backup for myself. I originally thought that I would hand over these shops to you when you grow up, but now I think it’s more practical to give you money. .”

Ling Zhi was already very grateful and uneasy because Ling Xiao spent a lot of money on buying her a dowry, but now seeing that his brother actually gave him his savings for many years... Ling Zhi couldn't hold back his face, and big tears rolled down instantly .

"Okay, it's all big girls, why are you crying?" Ling Xiao took a handkerchief and wiped away Ling Zhi's tears. Ling Xiao looked at the grown-up younger sister, who is now becoming more and more generous, and now she is going to marry a woman. There was also some emotion, and he coaxed softly, "What's the matter, everyone says that elder brother is like father, I shouldn't do what I should do for you, huh?" Ling Xiao calmed down and coaxed Ling Zhi for a while, seeing her stop After weeping and exhorting some things, he finally said seriously: "Don't always be so kind and honest, don't be afraid of anything, tell brother if you have something to say, the Mansion of Marquis Kangkang is here, and you will never be wronged. Don't worry, Shi Mingcheng I can trust this person, he will treat you well, my sister is a blessed person..."

Talking about Shi Mingcheng, Ling Zhi blushed again, and bowed his head in silence. Ling Xiao stayed with her for a while and told her to go to bed early.

The next day, the eighth day of the eighth day of the eighth month, was a sunny day, and the people from the Shi Mansion came early. Although Shi Mingcheng was not as good-looking as Ling Xiao, he was still handsome, and now he was very handsome in a red auspicious suit. After getting off the horse at the gate of the mansion, he first bowed to Lord Ling and Ling Ruxue, and then it was only reasonable to bow to Ling Xiao, but Shi Mingcheng hit the ground, Ling Xiao knew it in his heart, and quickly helped Shi Mingcheng up , smiled and said: "From now on, we will be close relatives, so there is no need to be like this."

Shi Mingcheng nodded with a smile, Ling Xiao went inside to have a look, Ling Zhi had already dressed up, the thousand gold phoenix crown and gold silk embroidered red auspicious clothes made Ling Zhi a little more expensive, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Mr. Already here."

Mrs. Shi smiled and took a white jade bottle and handed it to Ling Zhi, and said a few words about marriage and harmony, etc. Ling Zhi lost his mother in his early years, so he was fed by Jing Yu for the sedan chair meal, Jing Yu also gave some instructions , smiled and said: "It's done."

Ling Xiao nodded, turned around and picked up Ling Pheasant on his back. As soon as he walked out of Shu Yuxuan, he felt a heat in his neck. Even though Ling Xiao was cold-tempered, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry, Pheasant..."

Ling Zhi couldn't speak, nodded and wiped away the teardrops, the love of each other for more than ten years was completely in the hearts of the two of them.

Ling Xiao carried Ling Pheasant outside and carried it directly into the sedan chair. Shi Mingcheng got on the horse after all the etiquette, and a group of people went to Shi Mansion, followed by a mighty dowry. Those who are less than this number will be accompanied by 64 lifts, which are called half lifts.Ling Zhi's dowry was not too much due to the restrictions of the Hou Mansion, so it was full of two full dowries, a total of 32 eight.

There are thousands of acres of fertile land and ten miles of red makeup, but that's all.

The members of the Ling family came back at noon, and Ling Zhi sat alone in the bridal chamber after finishing the etiquette. First, he was grateful for the benefits of his natal family for a long time, especially his brother, who gave him such a decent wedding, and then he was a little nervous. I don't know how long it took Shi Mingcheng to enter the room.

Xi Niang also completed the last few etiquettes, bowed and retreated, leaving only a couple.

Shi Mingcheng and Ling Zhi had met each other long ago, but they couldn't help being shocked when they provoked Xipa just now. Looking at the beautiful and beautiful wife, Rao Tanhualang, who was in a state of chaos in the Golden Palace, was also a little nervous, Shi Mingcheng hesitated He took off his messy robe for Ling Zhi, brought another cup of herbal tea, and said softly: "Take a sip of tea first, it's been a hard day for you today."

Seeing that her husband didn't mention anything else but first comforting herself for her hard work, Ling Zhi felt sweet in his heart, nodded and drank the tea and put it aside, Shi Mingcheng smiled and took Ling Zhi's white and slender hand, and said in a low voice: "Pheaser... I will Good to you, good to you forever."

Ling Zhi blushed, bowed his head and remained silent...

Candles flicker in the wedding room...
