King’s House Kindergarten - Chapter 236
At four quarters of the year, Youxi Niang came outside and knocked on the door, “It’s time for the bride to get up.”
Shen Yueshang was a little confused.
Last night, I thought about going to bed earlier and going to bed earlier. Today I have to get up early. There are many etiquettes on the day of marriage, and I have to last until night.
But actually lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, I don’t know when to count the sheep…
Subconsciously, he remembered that he was going to get up early today, so when Xi Niang knocked on the door, Shen Yueren hadn’t woken up yet, but subconsciously supported her hand and sat up.
After a while, she suddenly realized that Xi Niang just called out “Bride”.
Shen Yue woke up from a big dream.
Today is the day she married Zhuo Yuan.
It’s the sixth day of October.
“Come in.” Shen Yue called as she sat down and put on her shoes.
Shen Yue was surprised when the room was pushed away with a creak.
She originally thought that there were only three or two Xi Niangs who came the day before, but as a result, seven or eight Xi Niang filed in, and Shen Yue was stunned. Earlier… no one told her about so many people.
But Yu Guang glanced outside the house, only to see that there were at least ten Xi Niang outside the house.
Shen Yue paused.
Xi Niang, who was headed by her, stepped forward, “Bride, go take a bath and wash up first, the time will be a little tight later.”
Shen Yue nodded dumbly.
Yesterday, Xi Niang had mentioned that it would take a long time just to put on the bridal makeup and the wedding gown.
After the makeup is done, and the wedding dresses are dressed, the wedding team is about to arrive.
Afterwards, he had to say goodbye to his uncle and aunt at home, and then took the sedan chair to the Pingyuan Palace, where he was carried over the brazier by the groom, and he had to go to the church at the auspicious time to get married.
The etiquette of getting married is really cumbersome, which is why the preparations for the wedding take at least several months.
Especially people like Pingyuan Palace, they can’t be sloppy, and they have to step on auspicious times every step of the way.
There must be a lot of dignitaries who went to the Pingyuan Palace to attend the banquet today, and according to the level of popularity of the Pingyuan Palace in Beijing, the people along the street today must have spontaneously come to watch the ceremony and bless it.
Therefore, no mistakes can be made today.
What Xi Niang said was what she said, and Shen Yue didn’t dare to delay.
At four quarters of Yin Shi, the sky was not yet bright, and there was only a handful of white fish belly in the sky, and Shen Yue was surrounded by happy girls and went to the ear room.
Liang’s house is in the west of the city. In fact, the house is not small, but it is not comparable to someone like Pingyuan Wangfu.
In the houses of ordinary people in Beijing, each main house does not have a separate wing. But the Zhuang family pays attention to the children’s privacy, and each room is equipped with a penthouse. It’s just that the ear room is a little small, and the seven or eight hi-niangs are quite crowded in the ear room.
Today’s big wedding, the bride must have Xi Niang to help in everything here.
Xi Niang’s choice is also mentioned.
They are all people whose parents are alive and whose children are both. Only such people can bring joy and blessings to the bride on such a happy day.
In addition to the living parents and children, Xi Niang herself should also be a person who looks rich and exquisite, and has both blessings.
So Xi Niang is not easy to find.
But the more difficult it is, the more it can reflect the importance the husband’s family attaches to marriage.
Especially the powerful family, they arranged more than ten or twenty brides to help the bride at the wedding ceremony, which is the importance of the bride and her family, so today, many brides came to the Liang mansion, and six or seven brides entered when they were bathing and washing up. Waiting, everything is said.
Shen Yue was in the bathtub, letting the happy girls toss.
Xi Niang can do whatever they want, in fact, they are very curious.
On the wedding day, everything seeks both good fortune and joy, and also takes into account the happiness of the bridal chamber.
You Xi Niang added spices and essential oils to the tub. You Xi Niang told Shen Yue that it was prepared for the candle night in the bridal chamber. Shen Yue was slightly stunned, wondering what was the connection between the two.
It was comfortable to take a bath in the tub, Shen Yue was not used to so many people waiting on one side.
Fortunately, there is only one Xi Niang who stayed.
After she got out of the tub, Shen Yue wrapped her bathrobe and sat down on the small couch in front of the bronze mirror. The happy ladies gathered around again. Some wiped her hair, and some rubbed gel cream on her body. There is also Xi Niang said that after wiping the gel, the bride’s skin will be moist and smooth at night.
Shen Yue blushed.
Hi girls don’t tease her anymore.
This process is really cumbersome, and Xi Niang did not exaggerate earlier.
After applying the gel cream, the hair is almost dry.
You Xi Niang stepped forward to put on a wedding robe for her.
The bride’s wedding gown is the most complicated, and it needs to be worn layer by layer.
From the dark blue apron embroidered with ruyi flowers, to the rich and noble blouses, the lotus seed lily tunic, one piece of the upper body, each layer of clothing must be individually buttoned, but also together with the previous one Pull the horns, tie the ropes, so the bride’s clothes are put on slowly and in order.
From the beginning of putting on clothes, Shen Yue’s nervousness began to slowly get angry from the bottom of her heart.
The hi robe stopped when the middle clothes were on.
Wait until the bridal makeup is done before continuing to wear the robe, avoiding the satin folds of the robe.
After the wedding gown was put on, the brides-to-be followed Shen Yue to the mirror and started to apply makeup.
Close your eyes, open your face…
This should be the most solemn makeup look in a woman’s life. It should not only match the rich and bright beauty of the red robe, but also hold the jewels on the phoenix crown.
Shen Yue didn’t dare to look at herself in the mirror opposite.
The Xi Niangs have their own divisions of labor, and they are all busy. Shen Yue tries not to cause any trouble, so she opens her eyes when she opens her eyes, and closes her eyes when she closes her eyes.
And because of cooperation, everything went smoothly.
It’s just that Shen Yue usually wears light makeup, and some are not used to these heavy powders, but the happy girls are more and more pleasantly surprised.
After a while, someone knocked on the door outside.
“Who is it?” Xi Niang asked.
Xi Niang outside the house said, “The bride’s aunt.”
aunt?
Shen Yue was surprised, and then quickly remembered that when she got married today, she invited her family members and elders to comb her hair, which means that after marrying from her parents’ home, the bride will also feel comfortable (comb).
Xi Niang led Mrs Zhuang forward.
The girls are still dressing Shen Yue.
In fact, combing the hair is also a part of the bride’s makeup, so she has already been combing Shen Yue’s hair just now. Now, Mrs. Zhuang only needs to follow the etiquette and gently pull a strand of blue silk for Shen Yue with a special comb.
When Mrs. Zhuang entered, Shen Yue turned her head, “Auntie…”
Tension could be heard in his voice.
Zhuang wanted to be relieved, but when she turned her head, Zhuang was stunned, “Ayue?”
Shen Yue didn’t know why, but Xi Niang stepped forward to help Mrs Zhuang, and said with a smile, “The bride is so beautiful, my aunt is stunned.”
After Xi Niang said, Mrs Zhuang seemed to have reacted, and nodded her head in relief, “Ayue, you today…”
Zhuang seems to be unable to find a better adjective.
Shen Yue then looked into the mirror.
In the past, her mind was seldom on dressing up, and she spent almost all of her time on the kindergarten and the baby in the house, so the clothes, shoes, and jewelry were all simple and simple, but they would not hurt the children. Be lightweight, convenient, and not overwhelming.
In getting along with the children, she is an equal, a person who can talk to her, and a friend, so she doesn’t need to be bright, she must be approachable, and even bring a small purse and a small sachet that are in line with the child’s innocence, the children will also like it.
Even the makeup is light makeup, but it is also bright and moving.
But less than one ten thousandth of the present.
Seeing Shen Yue froze.
Youxi Niang stepped forward and said, “Our bride today is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen among so many brides I have served!”
After one of the Xi Niang finished speaking, several other Xi Niang also agreed.
In addition to Shen Yue’s eyebrows and eyes really slowly opening, the facial features are full of delicacy and charm, and there is a natural gentleness and beauty in it, but she is more beautiful than the brides she has seen before.
Obviously, her appearance is not the best, but Xi Niang can’t tell the reason.
But in fact, there are also some reasons in Xi Niang’s heart. Most of the brides who get married are just a few years old, but Shen Yue is over the age of eighteen, almost nineteen. In fact, a girl of this age is more suitable for this age than a woman who has just reached her. A big red wedding gown and thick and gorgeous bridal makeup.
Yes, it is worth it, and it is worth it!
This is what a bride should look like, not in the charming eyes that were forcibly added when Xiao He was just showing her sharp horns, but the icing on the cake when she was the most beautiful and moving.
So, the bride looks great!
And they are the same age, and they complement each other beautifully!
“When the groom reveals Xipa, he must be stunned!” One of Xi Niang began to joke, and the rest also followed suit and covered their sleeves with laughter.
For a while, the room was filled with laughter.
Shen Yue blushed.
Mrs. Zhuang stepped forward to comb her hair. For some reason, she had thought about it earlier. Today was going to be a lively and festive occasion. Mrs. Zhuang’s eyes first silently blushed. Be comfortable, grow old together, and inherit forever…”
Zhuang’s voice was slightly choked up by the last two sentences.
I suddenly remembered how Shen Yue looked when she first saw her when she first came home. She was still so short and small, but her eyes were extraordinarily smart, sensible, and lovable. Later, I got along slowly, and my family became stronger and stronger. I would go shopping with her hand in hand, help her to go to the temple to give incense, and I would tell her that it was delicious in the kitchen…
The Zhuang family has no daughters.
Shen Yue is her daughter.
Zhuang’s heart was full of reluctance.
Mrs Zhuang choked, when Shen Yue looked over, Mrs Zhuang was just lowering her head to wipe her tears, and Shen Yue’s eyes were red, “Aunt…”
Xi Niang hurriedly said, “The bride can’t cry, her eye makeup is going to be spent.”
Shen Yue quickly opened her eyes, and Xi Niang immediately stepped forward to gently wipe the corners of her eyes.
Zhuang squeezed out a smile, “There is still something to do in the side hall, I’ll go first.”
Shen Yue knew that Zhuang was afraid of staying here and she would be sad.
Xi Niang once again instructed that the eye makeup would be spent, and had to do it all over again. She was afraid that it would be too late, so Shen Yue closed the corners of her eyes. Just as my eyes swept out of the window, I happened to see the morning sun falling on the house, and the sky outside the window was already bright…
Time flies too fast, at this hour, Zhuo Yuan should be about to go out to greet his relatives.
Shen Yue suddenly became nervous again.
The palms hidden in the sleeves were clenched tightly, trying not to show them.
Not long after Zhuang went out, the bride’s makeup was almost done.
Xi Niang brought the lunch box and stepped forward.
Today’s big wedding, the etiquette is cumbersome, out of the gate of the mother’s house, and will not eat together until the wedding ceremony, so now, Xi Niang brought a lot of preserved fruit and snacks to her stomach.
“The bride will use some first, and she will go to the bridal chamber later.” Xi Niang helped.
If it is food, it is easy to get dirty clothes, and it is inconvenient.
Right now, Shen Yue used it casually.
Later, Xi Niang brought water again, Shen Yue took two sips, and the lips were stained with rouge.
Putting down the cup, Hexi Niang knocked on the door outside the house, “The official bridegroom has just gone out. It should be there in a while, and the bride needs to hurry up.”
Coming soon?
Shen Yue’s heart thumped, her fingertips clenched again, and she suddenly realized that the Prince Pingyuan’s residence was not far from Liang’s house in the west of the city.
It’s just that Xi Niang outside the house finished speaking, and Xi Niang inside the house was like a formidable enemy.
“Hurry, hurry!” The head of the Xi Niang called out.
It seems that all Xi Niang are nervous.
Even Shen Yue was even more nervous and at a loss.
Earlier, because I had to eat a plate, the lip makeup was not fully applied. Now, Xi Niang hastily completed the lip makeup.
Xi Niang on the side hastily prepared the robes of Xi’s robe and the phoenix crown and robes.
After the lip makeup was repaired, and then Xi Niang modified the bride’s entire makeup, Shen Yue was lifted up, and Xi Niang, who was responsible for serving and changing clothes, put on the bride’s wedding robe layer by layer.
Xi robe is the most responsible for wearing the outer robe. There are four Xi Niang who only serve and dress. Some focus on collars and backs, some are sleeves, some are waist, and some are skirts. Because of the tediousness, when the wedding gown is put on, it completely matches the bride’s makeup.
The bride’s jewelry is not the best.
Shen Yue’s bridal makeup was matched with generous and decent jewelry, which complemented the bright red wedding gown.
In the end, Xi Niang put the phoenix crown on her.
Shen Yue slowly opened her eyes, and the whole room was completely quiet…
If Xi Niang thought that today’s brides are rarely good-looking, but now, when the phoenix crowns and the robes are all dressed up, the wedding robe and makeup are complete, then she will feel the soul-stirring.
Just when she opened her eyes just now, her feathered eyelashes flickered lightly, and some light frowns and smiles that were not used to the weight on her head were all filled with indescribable gentleness and surprise…
This kind of beauty is completely different from that of a newly married bride.
A little more poised and gentle.
It’s beautiful, it’s really beautiful, it’s touching…
In a trance, the sound of footsteps hurriedly came from outside the garden, “The welcoming team is coming, and there is a market entrance.”
As soon as the words fell, all the people in the room came back to their senses.
The groom is coming!
“Hurry up, hurry up!” Xi Niang, who was the leader, ordered, and everyone continued their work.
Xi Niang took Shen Yue back to the bed and sat down in the room, and Xi Niang reconfirmed whether the makeup should be adjusted and whether the clothes and shoes were in place.
In the end, only Xi Niang covered her with a Xipa.
From the moment she put on the Xipa, she was really about to get married…
The wedding robe in front of him was put down, leaving only a faint red light.
The rest is that in the space left by the phoenix crown, she can look down and see the pair of wedding shoes embroidered with golden mandarin ducks playing in the water on her feet…
Looking at the mandarin duck pattern with gold threads on the wedding shoes, Shen Yue took a deep breath, her heart was like a spring swallow passing over the lake, and it was difficult to calm down.
“The groom is here!” There was another voice outside the garden.
Shen Yuecai took a deep breath, and now, her fingertips clenched again.
Indistinctly, the sound of firecrackers and suona could be heard from outside the gate.
The groom comes to welcome the bride and walk through the front door.
Firecrackers will be set off at the front entrance.
This is already in the door.
Shen Yue had never been so nervous before, as if her breathing was a little short.
Xi Niang has served many brides, and they all know that the brides at the moment are all nervous, so they also said warmly, “Don’t worry, bride, we will always accompany the bride, if you have something to do later, you can call us. But Remember, from now on until the wedding ceremony, the bride cannot speak to the groom.”
Shen Yue nodded, indicating she understood.
The sound of the suona outside the door approached.
Suona and blowing Sheng have always followed the groom, that is, the groom has met the elders on the bride’s side, and after obtaining consent, he went to the bride’s side to welcome the bride.
Shen Yue bit her lower lip lightly, and suddenly, she remembered what Xi Niang had reminded, no, the lip makeup will fade.
“Bride, this is Xi silk. Please take it. Later, the groom will take Xi silk and take the bride to bid farewell to uncle and aunt.” After Xi Niang finished speaking, Shen Yue nodded again.
As soon as it was clenched tightly, it seemed that the noise, the sound of firecrackers and the sound of joy went outside the house.
The house fell silent in an instant.
“It’s the groom’s official here.” Xi Niang on the side said happily.
Shen Yue only felt that a heart seemed to reach her throat.
Suddenly, the voices outside the house also quieted down, and You Xi Niang said, “The groom is here to pick up the bride.”
Shen Yue held her breath.
The door of the boudoir was pushed open with a creak, and surrounded by Xi Niang, Zhuo Yuan in a wedding robe entered.
The girls in the house were dumbfounded.
This……
Today’s groomsmen and brides are…
Shen Yue naturally couldn’t see it, only in the heartbeat of “bang bang bang bang”, she lowered her eyes and saw a pair of boots walking towards her.
