Thirty-six, wedding night with flowers and candles (Part 2)
The moon was blue and white, like mist and mist, and the two double-corridor buildings in the east and west were silent, as if there were sad clouds hanging over them——
Xie Daoyun and Lu Weirui learned that Chen Caozhi sighed and went to the library to rest. Both women felt uneasy. Lu Weirui was so calm that they both felt on pins and needles. They regretted going out of the Nine Links to embarrass Chen Caozhi. She was Mrs. Zuo, so let Chen Lang stay tonight
It was reasonable to go to the West Tower, but she wanted to show her generosity. She never thought that Sister Dao Yun would not accept her affection, which would make Chen Lang unable to climb the West Tower and the East Tower. You know how embarrassing it is!
Lu Weirui frowned and twisted his fingers, his heart knotted with worry, Short Hoe, Hairpin and others looked at each other in astonishment, as silent as cicadas, standing aside and not daring to move——
Xie Daoyun wandered on the corridor of the east building. She rarely regretted doing things, but she regretted it at this time. She felt that her temperament was too arrogant. Arrogance was towards others. Why should she be so arrogant towards her husband? Wei Rui
My sister must have respected her as being one year older and allowed her to have a good relationship with her husband first. This was also well-intentioned. Why should she be so desperate to save face and refuse his good intentions? Now her husband has been hit by obstacles and retreated in dismay. He spent his own money to help others.
He has never suffered such a big setback. How could he have thought that the person he loved was the one who made things difficult for him?
Xie Daoyun was worried, but had nothing to do. She was a new bride, so she couldn't go to the library to accommodate Chen Caozhi. That would be a joke. Send a hoe to invite Chen Caozhi to come back? She didn't know what Chen Caozhi would do.
I won’t be resentful. Alas, I’d better discuss it with sister Wei Rui. It’s never okay to let your husband sleep in the library on the wedding night. You must find a way to solve it properly——
Xie Daoyun was about to go to the west building when he saw a maid from downstairs quickly going upstairs to report: "Madam, Mistress Ding is here——"
When Xie Daoyun heard that Ding Youwei had arrived, his face flushed with embarrassment. This incident alarmed Ding's sister-in-law. She was so embarrassed. She hurried downstairs to meet Ding Youwei, but saw Lu Weirui following behind with her head lowered——
Ding Youwei's expression was not as friendly as before, but rather serious. She pushed aside all the maids and servants around her, and then said to Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun: "Daoyun, Weirui, you two are my young man's wives.
This wedding has attracted much attention, and the congratulators in the front yard have not yet dispersed, but the young man has been driven to the library by the two of you. If this wedding night ends like this, the world will laugh if word spreads!"
Xie Daoyun and Lu Weirui bowed their heads to receive instruction. The Chen family in Xilou now takes Ding Youwei as their eldest son, and their eldest sister-in-law is like their mother. Moreover, Chen Caozhi respects this sister-in-law very much. Naturally, the two daughters Lu and Xie are even more respectful -
Ding Youwei added: "One husband and two wives are not compatible with etiquette. It's just that you and Xiaolang are both in love. After many twists and turns, you have achieved this good thing today. You should respect each other, love each other, and get along with each other in a friendly way. Don't cause quarrels in the house."
Ning, thus following in the footsteps of Jiahou and his wife in the past, and being ridiculed by future generations."
Xie Daoyun and Lu Weirui were both ashamed and wronged. Lu Weirui was about to cry. They were not fighting, they were giving in, but they did not dare to defend themselves at this time——
Ding Youwei slowed down his tone and said softly: "Sister-in-law, of course, I know that you two are very virtuous and not at odds with each other. But when this kind of thing spreads to the ears of outsiders, it is always a fact that your husband spent his wedding night in the library. Of course, outsiders
You think it’s because we, the Chen family, are uneasy at home because of our double marriage, don’t you?”
Xie Daoyun asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, is there any remedy?"
Lu Weirui also looked at her sister-in-law Ding Youwei with tears in her eyes——
Ding You smiled slightly and comforted: "You two, don't be anxious. You know better than your sister-in-law what kind of person Xiaolang is. Xiaolang will not blame you. Of course, you two must go to the library now, Xiaolang
I hit a wall here with you, and you two have to welcome me back."
Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun said in unison: "Yes."
Lu Weirui said again: "Sister-in-law, can you go with me and me? Soothe your cheeks for the two of us——"
Ding You smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law will mediate it for you."
…
The library was deserted. Chen Caozhi turned on the light in the study and read at night. He paid attention to the affairs outside the building and seemed to be waiting. Xiaochan knelt down and waited on the side. She knew that Mr. Caozhi was in the east and west corridors.
I came here after hitting a wall, and I was very worried about the young man. Why did this bridal night end up like this!
There were many people coming to the library. The maid downstairs came up to report that Mistress Ding and Mistress Lu and Xie were here. Chen Caozhi and Xiao Chan hurriedly got up to greet them, but saw that Ding Youwei had already arrived.
They came upstairs, and behind them Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun were half-covering their faces with their fans, but they hadn't done the ritual yet.
Ding Youwei didn't say much to Chen Caozhi, but directly led Lu and Xie's two daughters to the bedroom next to Chen Cao's study. He ordered the maid to light a festive red candle, and asked Lu and Xie to sit on the eaves of the box in front of the bed, and then
He came out and said to Chen Caozhi, who was standing in front of the door: "Young man, the two brides are here, but they are sharing the cups and wedding candles. Don't wrong either of them. My sister-in-law has gone back, so don't give me a gift."
Chen Cao's Weiwei.
Ding You walked past Chen Caozhi with a smile. When he saw Xiaochan standing aside blankly, he waved and said, "Xiaochan, come with me. You don't have to wait here tonight."
Xiaochan responded and followed Ding Youwei downstairs. Downstairs, there were Lu Weirui, Xie Daoyun's personal maid Liuxu, Short Hoe and others, as well as several smart and capable servants who were always ready to take orders from upstairs——
Ding Youwei held Xiaochan's hand and said softly while walking: "Xiaochan, I will make the decision for you when you return to Chenjiawu, so don't be anxious."
Xiaochan blushed and argued: "Madam, why is Xiaochan so anxious!"
Ding You smiled slightly and said: "Xiaochan is already thirty-nine years old this year. It's really difficult for you, but I finally waited for this day. Xiaochan is not a lucky person." When he said this, he sighed quietly for some reason.
…
When Chen Caozhi entered the room, Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun immediately stood up and walked a few steps forward. Yingying fell down and prostrated, saying: "Meet my husband."
Chen Caozhi knelt down and bowed in return, and saw that the fan that had been covering the two women's faces was slowly removed, revealing two beautiful and delicate faces. The two women had gone through the twists to open their faces, their foreheads, temples, and the back of their necks.
The cold hair on her body was all twisted out, and her face was as smooth as jade, delicate and beautiful, and even Chen Caozhi was dumbfounded——
Relatively speechless, I really don’t know what to say at this time. I like catkins, because of the wind, a short hoe, and a hairpin flower. Four maids came in and presented a wine vase and three gourd cups. The newlyweds had to do it again in the tent.
The ceremony of combining the two is called sharing the cup, which means handing over a cup of wine.
Chen Caozhi, Lu Weirui, and Xie Daoyun couldn't help but get on the bed at this time, sit down on their knees, and drink from gourd cups together. Catkins and hairpin flowers removed the wine vessels and gourd cups. Due to the wind, the short hoe knelt behind Xie Daoyun and Lu Weirui respectively.
A lady takes off her hairpin crown and loosens her bun—
At that time, the big bed was like a small room, with curtains on all sides and railings on three sides. Because of the wind, two maids were combing for Xie Daoyun. When Lu Weirui combed her long hair, she recited a congratulatory message: "One comb to the neck, the white hair reaches the eyebrows; two combs to the waist."
, the house is full of descendants; after three combs, everyone is very happy." Then the four maids knelt down together and said: "Please rest early for the newlyweds." They lowered the curtains, exited the bedroom, closed the door, and kept silent.
Chen Caozhi looked at the two lovely wives with long hair and shawls, and his heart was pounding. He didn't drink much wine at the wedding banquet, but the half cup of hot wine just now seemed to be very strong, and he felt that his whole body was getting hot.
, my breathing is a little short——
Both Xie Daoyun and Lu Weirui were blushing and didn't know what to do. Although they didn't raise their eyes, they could still feel their husband's bright eyes, and their hearts were beating faster and faster. Thanks to Xie Daoyun's wisdom, she was at a loss for words at this time——
The two girls remained silent, and Chen Caozhi, who had always been eloquent, didn't know what to say. How could they sit together with such respect as if they were guests? Good nights are short, so Chen Caozhi thought to himself: "I gave money to Tang when I was fifteen, so I am cautious.
Follow the rules and think twice before doing anything. Although he is a famous scholar in metaphysics, he is actually a senior disciple of Confucianism. He has never behaved in the slightest. Let me indulge for once in the bedroom, within the curtains." With this thought in mind, he moved his knees closer to Lu and thanked him.
The second daughter said in a low voice: "If there are any matters between husband and wife that are not worthy of outsiders, please don't be reserved, but let them be at the mercy of your husband."
