There has been no happy event in Uncle Cheng'en's Mansion for more than twenty years. Everything inside and outside the mansion is neatly tidied and decorated with joy.
In this way, even the original atmosphere of decline seems to have been covered up.
No matter how bad the Zheng family is, it is still an Earl's Mansion. There are not many relatives and friends who come to congratulate her noisily, and the courtyard is full of people.
Zheng Wuji was dressed as a bridegroom and rode a tall horse to Xu's house to welcome his bride.
Although he is incompetent, he has a good skin, and when he puts away his usual licentiousness, he actually looks like a human being.
The Zheng family welcomed Xu Chunjun out according to etiquette and worshiped the heaven and earth at the auspicious time.
Xu Chunjun was then sent to the bridal chamber with only two maids and Po Xi accompanying him.
Although it was already past time when Zheng Wuji went to meet his bride, Xu Chunjun got up before dawn to dress up.
Wearing the bride's hair accessories is not as complicated as usual. It takes at least two hours to get everything done.
Traditionally, newlyweds are not allowed to have a full breakfast, for fear of making others laugh if they show off in the middle of the ceremony.
When Xu Chunjun got up early, he only drank half a bowl of noodle soup and ate a few mouthfuls of pasta.
After struggling so far, my stomach is already empty.
But he had to wait until all the guests were sent away and the groom came in to drink Hexin wine before Xu Chunjun could eat something, and he had to stay up in the meantime.
There were a lot of snacks on the table in the new house. Zi Ling picked up a few small and non-stick ones on a small plate, quietly brought them to Xu Chunjun, and said softly: "Girl, eat some! I'll pour you some tea."
."
The phoenix crown on Xu Chunjun's head weighs several kilograms. The wedding dress has four or five layers inside and outside, and the materials are not light.
This outfit was enough for her.
Po Xi also said: "It is a good thing for the bride to eat a few cakes, as she will have good taste and will bring happiness to her house; if she brings in children, she will live a long life."
Xu Chunjun's face was completely covered by a hijab, and he only moved his hands slightly.
Ziling understood immediately, walked up to Xipo with a smile, took out the reward money that had been wrapped in advance, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have worked hard, this is the reward from our girl."
Po Xi took the reward with a smile on her face. She knew it was a lot as soon as she passed it. She couldn't help but thank Xu Chunjun repeatedly and said a lot of auspicious words.
It was getting late, and the guests were gradually leaving.
The house was lit with lanterns, and a line of crimson gauze lanterns under the eaves corresponded with the dragon and phoenix wedding candles in the house.
On the red bed and red quilt, sitting Xu Chunjun dressed in red.
She was so straight that her neck was sore and she no longer felt hungry, but she still sat upright without shaking her head.
Zi Ling walked outside and looked into the yard, but there was no sign of her new uncle.
Which annoying guest still refuses to leave?
Xipo made some witty remarks at first, but then she couldn't help but become a little anxious.
I went to find someone outside and asked him to go to the front to remind me: "If the groom doesn't come and take off his hijab, I'm afraid it will miss the auspicious time. The biggest official in the world has to let the groom take three points. Whoever he is, he should be sent away."
It has to be sent out."
Those who went there only came back after a long time, hesitating and saying nothing pleasant.
After asking again and again, he finally said: "The uncle is drunk and refuses to come over. The first housekeeper and the two housekeepers persuaded the uncle, but the uncle still insisted on going to Aunt Liu's Nanfeng Pavilion."
When Lu Shen heard this, she became anxious and said angrily: "What is this? How can anyone stay in my aunt's house on the night of the wedding?!"
Zi Ling also asked: "Old lady, does the old lady know about this?"
At this time, several ladies in charge of the house also rushed over, and kept apologizing: "The old lady and the madam are not in good health. They have been struggling for days and have already taken medicine and fell asleep. I won't disturb you now."
, I’m afraid it’s not good for our grandma.”
Zi Ling originally thought that although Zheng Wuji was ridiculous, he wouldn't be fooling around when his girl just walked in.
Who would have thought that there would be such a fuss just after the ceremony, and if this matter spreads out, where will the girls’ faces be put?!
"What does Aunt Liu do? How dare she stay when my uncle goes to her place?!" Lvchun's face turned blue.
"It's true that the uncle is too drunk and won't listen to anyone's advice." The housekeeper's wife rambled on, but did not get to the point.
Lvchun was about to have an attack, but Ziling held her down and said, "Let's go and ask the girl what she means first."
What happened today is indeed embarrassing. If they make a fuss, they will probably damage Xu Chunjun's reputation.
If I don't make a fuss, I'm afraid that the people in this house will think me a soft persimmon.
The matter was so important that Zi Ling didn't dare to make her own decision, so she dragged Lv Chun into the house and asked Xu Chunjun what he meant.
"Girl, their family is too bullying!" Green Ulva said angrily, "What the hell is this!"
Ziling also felt sorry for her girl as much as Lvchun, but the most important thing now was to come up with a countermeasure.
"Tell everyone to disperse!" Xu Chunjun said in a normal tone, "Tell the person in charge that I will wait for the uncle for another hour. If he doesn't come after one hour, then I will take off my hijab and go to sleep."
"Isn't this possible?" Lvchun asked worriedly, "What if my uncle really doesn't come?"
It is unlucky to stay alone in an empty room on the night of the wedding.
"It doesn't matter," Xu Chunjun said calmly, "there is no way to bring about blessings and misfortunes, people only bring it to themselves."
Lvchun wanted to say something more, but Ziling winked at her, and Lvchun reluctantly closed her mouth.
Zi Ling went out to deliver the message, then came back and closed the door.
As the night gets deeper, most of the full moon rises to the zenith, and in three days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The dragon and phoenix wedding candles were already half-burned, and it was so quiet in the house that one could even hear the banging of watchmen in the street.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight. Xu Chunjun sighed softly under the hijab and said, "Let Po Xi go down and have a rest!"
Zheng Wuji did not come after all, and Xu Chunjun decided not to wait any longer.
She took off her hijab herself and asked Ziling Lvchun to help her take off the heavy hair accessories and wedding clothes.
"Girl, how about you eat something more?" Zi Ling asked Xu Chunjun cautiously.
She guessed that the girl probably had no appetite. This was not only sad but also humiliating for the girl.
No matter how calm and steady Xu Chunjun is, she is still only an eighteen-year-old girl. How can she not be sad and angry?
It is extremely rare to be able to do so without getting angry or crying.
"Okay," who would have thought that Xu Chunjun actually wanted to eat, "the snacks you gave me before are good, you guys should also eat some, and make a new pot of tea when it's cold."
"Hey, hey, slave, I'll go right away." Zi Ling hurriedly agreed and got ready to go.
It seems that she still underestimated her girl.
In Liu Xixi's room, Zheng Wuji was lying on the bed smelling of alcohol.
Liu Xixi took a warm towel to wipe his hands and face, and said hypocritically: "Uncle, get up quickly! Grandma is waiting for you over there!"
"No!" Zheng Wuji said vaguely and impatiently, "Let her sleep by herself!"
Liu Xixi quietly pursed her lips and smiled, quite relishing in others' misfortune.
However, she was still a little worried, and she and Aunt Hu did not dare to sleep for fear that Xu Chunjun would come to her door.
Then the steward came over and sent a message, saying that if the uncle didn't come over, the aunt would take a rest on her own.
Liu Xixi looked at the drunk Zheng Wuji and felt that he was a little abnormal these days, but she couldn't explain why.
It seems that this grandma is a good-natured person.
