Outside the door, Lady Yun and Yuquan were waiting with a large bucket of water. Behind them, there were two strange women carrying gilded bath buckets.
Seeing Zhao Tingduo's clothes loose, they all lowered their heads.
Zhao Tingduo glanced at the bathtub: "There is no need to take a bath, just prepare something for the young lady to wash her face and comb her hair."
After saying that, he walked back to the bed, rolled up his clothes, and went behind the curtain next to him to get dressed.
So Mrs. Yun carried the bucket and walked into the tent with Yuquan, and the two women had to carry the bucket again and left.
Song Liyun had already put on her clothes and said to Madam Yun who wanted to put away the bedding: "Aunt Yun will comb my hair into a bun, and let Yuquan collect those bedding."
She now wants to style her hair in a woman's style and needs Lady Yun's help.
Yuquan responded, set up the basin and went to tidy up the bedding.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched the corner of her quilt, someone snatched it away from her.
The old woman who was carrying the bathtub just now came back again, smiled and said to Yuquan: "Young lady, you should wait for the young lady to wash your face! Let the slaves do these rough jobs!"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Song Liyun turned around and glanced at the old lady: "Yuquan, who is this nanny?"
Yuquan said hurriedly: "Mama Xu brought her here. She said she couldn't help with the wedding yesterday, so she took a day off. She didn't dare to rest, so she came over to serve the young lady and the young master."
Among the slaves that Nanny Xu brought, in addition to the four palace maids, there were also maids and women.
Song Liyun asked Madam Yun to continue combing her hair, and said lightly: "What do you call this nanny? Who asked you to come here to serve me?"
Although she asked everyone about their skills once on the way, there were so many people there that she couldn't remember so many names.
The woman said respectfully: "My husband's surname is Liao! Madam, you can call me from the old slave Liao Yong's family. Grandma Xu has informed Madam and asked the servants and others to serve the young master and madam."
"Oh!" Song Liyun stopped talking.
She knew that Mrs. Wuya asked these women to serve her instead of the maids, and she just didn't want to cause any trouble for herself.
Liao Yong's family lifted up the quilt and saw that it was clean and tidy, with no trace of filth as expected, and shock suddenly appeared on their faces.
"Liao Yong's family, what are you looking at?"
The mother-in-law raised her head sharply and saw Yuquan looking at her curiously next to her. She hurriedly said: "Girl, don't be ridiculous. I have never seen such a soft velvet blanket. I was stunned at this moment."
Yuquan sneered: "My wife asked us to weave these from the finest cashmere. It took a year to weave this one. Of course you have never seen it."
When the Liao Yong family saw Mrs. Yun and the young lady next to them, their expressions were expressionless, and they didn't even look back.
She also put her thoughts aside and quickly made the bed with Yuquan.
Looking back, she saw Madam Yun pulling Song Liyun's hair back into a bun and struggling to insert a gold hairpin. She hurriedly walked over and said, "Young madam, the most popular hairstyle for the nobles in the capital is better than this...
…This kind of style is more suitable for a young lady.”
Song Liyun turned around and took a closer look at her this time, and saw that the woman had tidied up her hair very neatly, and that the bun on her head also had an ulterior motive.
She wanted to try this mother-in-law's craftsmanship.
"Well, I'm going to serve tea to my grandma later, so pick up the fastest comb!"
Madam Yun is an ordinary woman living in Broken Gold Town. She only knows how to do buns commonly used by peasant women. Naturally, she is not as good as these nuns from Beijing.
As expected, the Liao Yong family had some skills. They made Song Liyun's long black hair look fancy, made it into a flying fairy bun, put on a golden hairpin, and put on powdered makeup.
When Song Liyun put on a pomegranate skirt and brocade jacket embroidered with gold thread, she suddenly became a luxurious woman from the capital.
At this time, Zhao Tingduo also changed his clothes, and the two of them went to Mrs. Wu Ya's tent hand in hand.
At this time, in Mrs. Wuya's tent, she was fully dressed and ready to drink her daughter-in-law's tea.
This wedding was an intermarriage between two ethnic groups. In order to take care of Song Liyun, the main banquet was held according to the customs of the Di people, but now it is replaced by the tea ceremony of the Wu Dynasty.
It's just that Mrs. Wu Ya is not very clear about these procedures, so she must ask Aunt Xu in advance.
"Madam, first let someone get the Yuanpa from the Young Master and Young Madam's account for inspection. Then wait for the daughter-in-law to come over and say a few words of admonishment to wives and mothers. When serving tea, you should reward your daughter-in-law with jewelry and objects." Nanny Xu tried her best to give her daughter-in-law jewelry.
These basic rules have been stated again.
Mrs. Wu Ya looked calm: "There is no need to test the Yuanpa you mentioned.
Whether a woman is innocent or not, her husband will naturally know and there is no need for others to comment."
Nanny Xu smiled and said: "Whether a woman is innocent or not is very important to the family!"
Mrs. Wu Ya turned to look at her strangely: "Mother Xu, don't you think this is unreasonable?
Normally, the Wu Dynasty is very strict about etiquette and rules, and women don't even show their faces, but why do such private matters between men and women need to be made public.
Not only does it spread throughout the family, but it is also connected to the rise and fall of family glory?
Is it possible that a man in the family can win with a Yuanpa on his head in a battle? It’s really ridiculous!”
Nanny Xu has never been married in her life. When Mrs. Wu Ya said it so straightforwardly, her face turned red and she was speechless. She could only say awkwardly: "Madam, please forgive me, this old slave is ignorant and talkative!"
Let's just forget about it.
Mrs. Wu Ya sat in the middle of the table, with Aunt Beggar beside her, and several elders from the clan.
Song Dekui and Xiao An sat next to Elder Shan.
As their natal family, they were not supposed to participate, but the Wuda tribe didn't care. They just said that this was a happy event for the two families, and they naturally wanted to enjoy it together.
Aunt Xu also had a seat, but she sat half way behind her head, occupying half of her buttocks.
Several palace maids and maids brought from the capital were standing behind, waiting to watch the ceremony.
As soon as Song Liyun and Zhao Tingduo entered the tent, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
What a beautiful couple!
The woman wears a golden crown and phoenix hairpin, a thin layer of makeup, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are full of spring water, and she is wearing a red pomegranate skirt to set off her delicate and delicate appearance.
Zhao Tingduo is also dressed as a prince of the Wu Dynasty, wearing a jade crown and brocade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and an upright posture. His masculine energy is pleasing to the eye.
This appearance is even more outstanding than when you encounter it on the road.
Seeing how good the two of them were, Mrs. Wu Ya smiled from the corner of her eyes to the eyebrows. She said to the others: "The Wuda tribe has married Ayun into the family. The young lady will still have more red colors in the future. She looks happy!"
She is now going to be a grandmother, so she changed out of her red dress and put on an azure dress. Although her beauty was suppressed, she still had a mature and calm charm.
Aunt Beggar nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the Wuda tribe is blessed by the gods!"
The elders nearby nodded repeatedly: "That's what Aunt Beggar said!"
Everyone laughed with joy and just kept looking at the two of them as if they were looking at some treasure, completely forgetting to drink tea.
It was Nanny Xu who said: "Madam, it's time for the young madam to serve tea to everyone!"
"Yes, tea!" Mrs. Wu Ya's smile did not diminish.
Yuquan brought over the tea that had been prepared earlier, blinked at Song Liyun who was blushing, and whispered: "Young madam, you are so beautiful today, just like the most beautiful Gesang flower on the grassland!"
Song Liyun pursed her lips and smiled, took the tea tray under her heavy headdress, walked to Mrs. Wu Ya and knelt down: "Mom, please drink tea!"
Mrs. Wu Ya didn't care about what Nanny Xu said about drinking tea, she just picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp, smiling so hard that a few wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
