The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

After completing many pre-marriage regulations, on the seventh day of February, the Ming family was festively decorated and lively.Today is a happy day for the eldest daughter of the mansion to come out of the cabinet, no matter whether it is the master or servants, everyone is busy.

Before dawn, Ming Lai had already gotten up, or she didn't sleep much tonight, Mrs. Song stayed with her all night in Rouranju, rambling on and on, repeating what she had arranged and ordered.Ming Lai was already nervous, but now she didn't sleep all night, Song simply comforted her, few girls could sleep the night before they left the pavilion.

After eating a little something, at dawn, Grandma Quanfu came.Ming Lai's make-up today is extraordinarily complicated, and the dexterous maid combed the fennel bun that is popular in the capital, graceful and flexible, elegant and elegant.Ming Lai is the best friend in the boudoir who accompanied her, and her parents and wives all praise her.

Mrs. Dudu Song looked at the woman's bun made by her daughter for the first time, and couldn't help crying. She was afraid that people would see it, so she took it away in a hurry.

After pulling the hair, the next step is twisting the noodles.Ming Lai looked at the twine wrapped in the old mother's hand, and unconsciously shook her body, it was scary.Seeing her like this, a woman watching from the side smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, women have this experience. Granny Li's craftsmanship is praised by all women, and it doesn't hurt at all. Don't move around." The tone was friendly, with a hint of ridicule, and it was Song's younger sister and Ming Lai's little aunt who spoke.

After Xiao Song finished speaking, the rest of them also persuaded and comforted Ming Lai, not giving Ming Lai a chance to speak.Ming Lai has nothing to say, and this matter is not something that can be escaped with just a few words.

Seeing that they finished talking, the "noodle twister" began to apply powder on Minglai's face, and then took out a twine in his hand, and pulled it back and forth on Minglai's face.

Feeling the movement of the twine on the face, Ming Lai suddenly took a light breath, and it was unbelievable that there was no pain or anything, who knows.Because Mingzhao was not yet at the age of evasion, he also stayed with his sister in the room. Seeing this scene, the child directly covered his eyes with his small hands.

"Mother, my sister is very pretty, can't I just twist the noodles?" Mingzhao took away his hand and asked Song Shi softly. He still remembered not to talk nonsense, so he whispered in Song Shi's ear.

"Bah, bah, kid talking nonsense, who did you listen to?" Song was very angry, knowing that it was the child's childish speech that didn't break out, but she didn't forget to ask him who instigated it. Should not understand these.

"Big brother said, big brother said that girls have to twist their faces with ropes before they get married. It's to look good, and it's what women suffer for beauty." Mingzhao knew that he had said something wrong when he saw Song's reaction, so he hurried After moving the eldest brother out, the sister said that the mother had never been angry with the eldest brother, so she shouldn't care about it, right?

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Song immediately became annoyed and funny, and knew that their men didn't understand these things, so she had to explain to the children: "Your sister smashed noodles, cleaning up her face is just one of them, and it means that she has a new face. happy."

After hearing his mother's explanation, Mingzhao blushed slightly and nodded, thinking to tell his elder brother later, don't tell him to make mistakes again, it's embarrassing.

After saying a few words here, Granny Li stopped her hands and signaled the little maid to fetch water to wash off the powder on Ming Lai's face.Mingzhao went to her sister to look at it, and found that her eyebrows had become thinner, but she didn't notice any changes in the rest, but when she saw her mother, her aunt and aunt nodded, knowing that it should be good.

The next step is to put on makeup, today is a once in a lifetime day, Mrs. Song put in a lot of effort and invited someone else to come.After putting on her make-up, Miss Ming changed from her former gracefulness and freshness, and became bright and delicate, with a stunning beauty, and she even revealed a faint charm.

By this time, the preparations for the wedding day were almost done, and Ming Lai sat down and talked with her friends to relieve her uneasiness.Waiting for news from the front yard.

"Madam, Miss, the uncle sent someone to tell that the new uncle has arrived and has already entered the gate. Ladies and gentlemen, please be ready." The maid outside the door came in to report the news brought by Ming Xu.

"Understood, you step back first." Song Shi nodded, then turned her head and bowed to Granny Quanfu. "It's Mrs. Lau."

The mother-in-law of "all relatives, full of children and grandchildren" waved her hand, picked up the comb on the dressing table and combed Ming Lai's hair along the bun, and said while combing: "One comb to the end, two combs to white hair Eyebrows aligned, comb three times until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor, comb four times until the four silver shoots are all marked." Granny Quan Fu's voice had a steady force, and with her gentle blessings, Ming Lai's heart gradually calmed down down.

Ming Su received the visitors at the front, and when it was about time, he came in and covered his daughter with a red hijab.After receiving the red silk handed over by the maid, seeing the eldest daughter in a fiery red wedding dress, with uneasiness hidden in her eyes, Ming Su felt sour.Gently placing the hijab on top of her daughter's head, Ming Su turned his head away and patted Song's shoulder to conceal his emotions.

Ming Sulue stood for a while, then turned around and left. He couldn't do without people in front of him, so he had to go and greet him.He had only left for a while when there was a noise outside the door, and the groom brought a group of people over.

When the girls heard the sound, they disliked Ming Xu's uselessness, and they only blocked it for a while, while hastily closing the door to block it.

Ming Xu, who was following the few people who came to greet the relatives, was very wronged. It wasn't that he was incompetent, but also that he didn't expect that Xie Shen, who seemed expressionless and had a cold and self-confident face, would be friends with so many people. Seven of the brothers who followed to greet the relatives eight.

Ever since he entered the door, Xie Shen didn't even need to open his mouth. Jin Xinxiu, the son of a senior scholar who had heard about it in the middle of the court, directly blocked all the troubles.In terms of Wu Xieshen beating Mingxu alone, he still saved face for his brother-in-law.This is a wedding, and it's not easy to come to those bastards, Mingxu and Mingxi are outnumbered, let people attack all the way.

Xie Shen and the others were blocked at the door, and shouted to the door: "The groom is here to pick up the bride, and the bride is coming out."

"The bridegroom can't shout like that, hurry up and write a reminder poem, and you can come in when you are done." The girl in the room responded with a coquettish smile.

"I don't know what evening it is, so I urged the balcony to get closer to the mirror stand. Who knows that hibiscus is planted in water? A branch opens in the bronze mirror." Xie Shen chanted, looking at it very relaxed.After he finished reading, the brothers who came with him shouted: "The reminder poem has been written, and the bride is coming out."

"Where did the hibiscus come from in this spring? No, no, let's make another one." The girls deliberately misunderstood it and refused to let anyone go.

"It is rumored that the candle will be lowered to adjust the red powder, so don't look like spring in front of the mirror stand; you don't need to wear makeup all over your face, but keep your eyebrows ready for painting." Xie Shen read another song, and after reading it, he showed his face and smiled, full of energy: "This How are you?"

Ming Lai in the room listened to the details, and it was indeed better than last time, so he nodded.So the girls hid behind the screen and called Xie Shen in.

Xie Shen entered the door, walked straight in front of Ming Lai who was wearing a wedding dress, bent slightly, and said softly: "Madam, please get up."

Ming Lai heard the voice and turned around to look in Song's direction.Song's nose was sore, and on the day of great joy, she tried not to shed tears, went to her daughter's side and patted her hand, pulling her up.Ming Lai got up and was supported by the maid and walked out, and slowly came to the main hall.Ming Su and Song Shi have already sat at the main seats.

Seeing that the time had come, the bridesmaid sang: "The bride bid farewell to her parents." Ming Lai knelt on the futon with the support of the maid and made three big salutes.

Once worshiped, I dare not forget the kindness of my parents for giving birth.Two worships, I wish my mother and father a happy and healthy life in the future.Three worships, my son is leaving home now, and it is difficult to repay the kindness of nurturing.Ming Lai blinked, tears fell on the futon.

Xie Shen was next to Ming Su, and Song bowed: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will take good care of your wife." Ming Su nodded, so after the bridesmaid shouted "The auspicious time has come", Xie Shen Leading Ming Lai to go outside.

After going out, Mingxu stood outside the door, he glanced at Xie Shen, and signaled Xie Shen to walk ahead.He himself came to Ming Lai and squatted down, softly said: "Come on, sister, I will see you off on this journey."

Ming Lai leaned on the back of his grown-up brother as he said, and the emotions he had just put away were messed up by his words, and tears fell again uncontrollably.Mingxu stood up and walked forward, felt the body on his back tremble slightly, guessed that he was crying.While walking, he said: "I watched you grow up, from a little girl to a big girl, no, you are still a little girl now. In my heart, it's like marrying a girl. I can't express the feeling of it."

Ming Lai was feeling sad, and was amused by his words without defense, and suppressed his choked voice: "It's still as unruly as when I was a child, and your wife will make jokes in the future."

"You have become the daughter-in-law of another family, and you have always been the daughter of the Ming family. This is your home, and you can come back anytime." Mingxu solemnly emphasized: "You must remember this sentence, and you must never forget it. This is my home. Promise." A gentleman promises to meet all difficulties.

Ming Lai was so provoked by him that she didn't dare to speak, fearing that she would burst into uncontrollable crying, so she nodded and made her promise, then remembered that her younger brother couldn't see her, so she raised her hand and tapped him on the shoulder twice.

The siblings stopped talking, and just walked outside the door step by step.Mingxu raised his eyes and saw the Chuichuidada wedding party occupying a street, many people gathered to watch the excitement, and there were also children waiting to grab the copper coins that were scattered from time to time.

Ming Xu came to the sedan chair carried by eight people with Ming Lai on his back, and leaned over to let people inside.Xie Shen at the front nodded slightly to Ming Xu, and got on his horse.The firecrackers sounded, and the procession of welcoming the relatives wandered back.

Ming Xu backed away and watched the mighty team go away, until he could no longer see the red sedan chair before turning back to the house.As soon as he turned his head, he saw his parents standing at the door, watching their daughter go away.

"Father, mother, go back, the guests in the mansion are still there." Ming Xu helped Mrs. Song across the threshold.

After seeing off her sister for marriage, Mingxu stayed at home for two days, finishing a painting after studying.He remembered that Daiyu's birthday was Huachao Festival, so in these two days, he simply drew the painting mentioned in Shangyuan Festival as a birthday gift.Ming Xu was making preparations that day after he finished speaking, he cobbled together several similar paints, and prepared to complete his most realistic work in this world so far.
