Chapter 149 New Home
The room finally fell silent.
Jiang Yixi said, "Take off the phoenix crown quickly, my neck is about to be broken. I need to drink herbal tea, I'm thirsty. I need a bath, it's warm."
I haven't spoken or drank water for a day, and my voice is a little hoarse.
Shuixiang quickly came over to help her take off the phoenix crown. Shuiling served her a cup of herbal tea that had been prepared earlier, and took out a big cattail fan to fan her.
There are four basins of ice in the room, which are replaced every once in a while, and the partition windows are also wide open. It is windy today, but it still feels stuffy. Fortunately, the rouge and gouache used are good, and the makeup is not stained by sweat.
Two unfamiliar girls went to the cleaning room to prepare.
Aunt Wu also came to the bridal chamber and reported with a smile, "We were afraid that Huahua and Jiujiu would disturb the guests, so we kept them in the backyard. The dowry has been drying in the yard and was just put into the backyard room..."
Jiang Yixi twisted her sore neck, drank the cup of tea, and finally felt comfortable.
Only then did she have the energy to look around the room. Familiar furniture, red curtains, red quilts, red silk flowers, palace lanterns with red fringes hanging down, big red wedding candles, light red curtains, the chirping of birds outside, and just now
The excitement...
Everything is so joyful.
A girl came over and knelt down and said, "Grandma, slave Linxiang, the bathing water is ready."
Another girl also knelt down and said, "Grandma, I'm your servant Linmei."
Meng Cimo had already told Jiang Yixi that Linxiang was his eldest girl, sixteen years old. Linmei was the second-class girl, thirteen years old. She had been serving him in the study in the outer courtyard and was trustworthy. The girl Fu got over,
They were all sent away because he found the wrong place.
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "I will work hard from now on."
After hearing this, Linxiang and Linmei knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes, follow Grandma's instructions."
Shuixiang handed over two purses containing four silver coins.
Shuixiang and Shuiling took Jiang Yixi to the clean room and took a bath. It was hot, so they took a bath together with their hair.
Jiang Yixi put on a bright red silk dress, which made her feel much cooler. Her hair was half-dried and rolled into a curl at the top of her head. Because she was so excited, even though she didn't put on makeup, her cheeks were still as gorgeous as red clouds.
The food has been placed on the Kang table in the east room.
Although Jiang Yixi was very hungry, she still visited the new home first.
The room on the east side is the living room, with the south window facing the Kang, and food has been placed on the table made of foreign paint and gold.
The hall is very large, with light blue curtains and a nine-leaf Suzhou embroidered double-sided embroidered screen dividing the space into two areas. The larger side has a high table, the Eight Immortals table, two rows of Taishi chairs, etc. The other side is a round table and several brocade stools.
, a row of Duobao pavilions, with green smoke rising from the three-legged filigree enamel incense burner.
The west side of the room is a small living room, and there is a guqin next to the beauty's couch. She has not played the guqin for more than a year after her rebirth, so she reached out and fiddled with the strings a few times, making a few sounds of running water.
The west room is the study room, with bookshelves on both walls...
Except for the bedrooms, every room is covered with large pile carpets from Persia, and the furniture is also made of huanghuali and carved with jade, which is indescribable wealth.
Another feature here is that the partition windows are opened lower and wider than in ordinary houses. Sitting in the house, you can see the scenery of the courtyard. There is a pond in the middle, surrounded by flowers, with east and west wing rooms on both sides, and Jiamu Cui on the side.
bamboo……
The last rays of sunset gave everything a golden light, and the lanterns on the trees under the corridor also lit up.
Meng Gaoshan supervised the work here, but the money and labor still had to come from Fu.
I heard from Meng Cimo that when Fushengju was engaged in such a big battle, the old lady specially praised Mrs. Fu and said that she had a "righteous heart".
In terms of face, Mrs. Fu has always been such a good person. When she met Gaotang today, Mrs. Fu's words were very nice. She actually shed tears of excitement because Meng Cimo finally married a daughter-in-law, who was more dear to her than her own mother.
Whether Fu was doing it to gain fame or to show off the poverty of the Jiang family, Jiang Yixi didn't care. She had long looked down on the superficial glitz and glamor.
Wealthy or ordinary, as long as it is hers and his home, she likes it. She believes Meng Cimo thinks so too.
She also wanted to take a look in the yard, but was stopped by Grandma Wu.
"Grandma just got married and will go out tomorrow."
Jiang Yixi sat cross-legged on the kang and just picked up the chopsticks when Nanny Wu persuaded her in a low voice, "Grandma, you are a bride today and it is not good for you to eat alone. Eat two snacks first and wait for the prince to come back."
eat together."
Seeing the chicken, duck and fish on the table, Jiang Yixi felt so hungry that her stomach ached. Thinking of the misery in her previous life, this life was already too happy.
She put down her chopsticks and only took two pieces of snacks to eat.
Not long after, I heard a girl's voice outside, "The prince is back."
Then came the familiar sound of footsteps.
Jiang Yixi's eyebrows were filled with joy. As soon as she walked to the living room, Meng Cimo had already strode in.
He supported Jiang Yixi, who was bowing to him, with a smile in his eyes, "Are you hungry?"
Jiang Yixi answered honestly, "Yeah."
Meng Cimo led her to sit on the kang, "Let's eat first."
He took off his hat and handed it to Linmei, then took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Yixi said, "Brother Meng, go take a bath first."
It was previously agreed that after getting married, Jiang Yixi would call him "Brother Meng" in private.
Meng Cimo smiled and said, "Let's go after dinner."
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and put the vegetables into Jiang Yixi's bowl instead of his own bowl.
"Eat quickly, I haven't eaten for a day and I'm starving."
Aunt Wu smiled so hard that she could see that her uncle was afraid that his girl would be hungry.
Jiang Yixi was very familiar with Meng Cimo, and she didn't want to be shy, so she picked up the bowl and started eating.
Meng Cimo was not hungry, and only ate a little occasionally, watching Jiang Yixi eat. He was afraid that Jiang Yixi would be shy, so he looked at her and looked away, then looked at her again.
Jiang Yixi felt that she could still eat another bowl of rice. From the corner of her eye, she saw Aunt Wu winking at her. Knowing that she was reminding the bride not to eat too much, she had no choice but to put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Meng Cimo took the clothes from Linxiang's hand and went to the clean room to take a bath.
When he came out with his dark hair and red silk clothes, Jiang Yixi entered the clean room again.
The scent of water served her and she rinsed her mouth with water dripping with perfume, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth. She scrubbed briefly and did not wash her hair. She just scattered and combed her hair. The scent of the water prompted Grandma Wu to tell her to sprinkle it on Jiang Yixi.
Jasmine dew, bellyband and pants are tied loosely.
Jiang Yixi walked into the bedroom. The ice in the room had been replaced again. The windows were closed only a crack. The palace lanterns hanging from the roof had been extinguished. Only two wedding candles were burning. The flames danced, making the room more warm.
Korea.
Meng Cimo's hair had been dried and he was sitting on the bedside waiting for her.
Seeing her coming out and smiling at her, the passion in her eyes was like honey that cannot be melted away.
Jiang Yixi's face turned red, and Shuixiang opened a corner of the quilt, and she lay down inside. After Meng Cimo put her legs on the bed, Shuixiang blushed and bowed and said, "I wish your eldest son and grandma a good moon and a happy baby."
These words were taught to her by Grandma Wu.
She put down the tent and quietly retreated.
