Chapter 128 Getting Married (Thank you Hey Hey Hey for your monthly ticket~)
The next day, the weather was sunny, the breeze was blowing, and it was a bit cool.
Brother Li did not go on duty today, it was his day off.
What a coincidence this year, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival are Brother Li's rest days.
This is the first time since Brother Li has been on duty at Jinwu Guard for so many years. It would have been nice to have a day off in previous years.
The more festivals it is, the busier the Jinwu Guards are. In addition to patrolling and guarding Chang'an City day and night, they also have to follow and protect the Emperor when he travels. Fortunately, Emperor Wu is quite old, so she usually does not leave the palace except for occasions when she needs to attend. .
According to the gossip in Chang'an City, Emperor Wu encountered too many assassinations when he first ascended the throne. He was tired and a gentleman did not stand under dangerous walls, so he rarely left the palace.
Brother Li got up early and took the four little ones to stretch their muscles in the yard. When Li Sanniang got up, they had already done a round of boxing.
Li Sanniang got up early on purpose today. After all, she was concerned about Shen Qiuniang's happy event, the girl Li Sanniang rescued on the West Market Street.
Because Shen Qiuniang fled to Chang'an with her parents and family, and has no relatives around her anymore, and Tuva is a Turk from the Western Regions, they both discussed with the Li family that the wedding should be kept simple. Good.
There are really many etiquettes in weddings at this time, and even if you are a junior citizen, you still have to follow them all.
For example, when elder brother Li married his wife, he did everything as required, starting from accepting the lottery and asking for her name, to accepting the gift, accepting the levy, and finally asking for a date and welcoming the bride.
Although Li Sanniang has now reconciled with Wang Erlang, she still followed these six etiquettes one by one at the beginning. This would only be rude unless she encounters a seriously ill elder in the family who has to observe filial piety and delay the reproduction of his children. The wedding was held urgently after the ceremony.
However, the previous steps were based on the wishes of Shen Qiuniang and Tuva, and they were just passed briefly. They both had no father, no mother, no relatives around them, and they just wanted to become partners as soon as possible. Live your life well.
This is the first time in a long time that Li Sanniang has breakfast with Brother Li in the morning. It feels very novel.
After having a simple breakfast together, Brother Li hung a wooden sign in the front hall saying that the family had a happy event and would be closed for the day.
Father Li stood nearby, greeting elder brother Li, second brother, second brother and four younger brothers. They hung red silk and put happy words on them.
Mother Li and the others are now gathered in the small room in Li Sanniang's yard. Mother Li is combing Shen Qiuniang's hair, saying auspicious words while combing her hair.
Li Sanniang can neither comb her hair nor help arrange this green wedding dress like Sister Li.
Sister-in-law Li was born in the countryside. Shen Qiuniang wanted to make things simple and festive, so it was not suitable for Sister-in-law Li, who came from a martial arts family in Chang'an City, to have a relatively low family background.
Therefore, Li Ersao whispered to Shen Qiuniang about today's wedding process.
What is Li Sanniang doing?
Li Sanniang was watching with wide eyes along with Lu Zhuer and Xiao Huang.
When I saw Mother Li trying to paint two big red lumps on Shen Qiuniang's face, I couldn't bear it anymore.
Li Sanniang quickly stepped forward to take the rouge from Li's mother's hand, dipped a little rouge with her fingertips, and gently spread it on Shen Qiuniang's cheekbones.
Mother Li looked at the faint blush on Shen Qiuniang's face and said, "This is too light, how can it be done?"
Mother Li snatched the rouge from Li Sanniang's hand and applied it to Shen Qiuniang again. Mother Li took a look at it, but she still felt it wasn't red enough and wanted to add more.
"Auntie, that's enough. It's very festive. That's enough." Li Sanniang showed Shen Qiuniang the polished small bronze mirror.
Seeing Shen Qiuniang nodding shyly, Mother Li put down the rouge in her hand.
Originally, Li Sanniang proposed to free up her and Lu Zhuer's house for Shen Qiuniang to use for their wedding, but Shen Qiuniang did not agree, saying that she had already taken advantage of the Li family, and she and Tu Wa just doesn't have much foundation, so she really shouldn't ask Li Sanniang, a savior, to make room for her.
In addition to the fact that Li Sanniang herself did not want to see anyone hurting her daughter in the street at first, Shen Qiuniang later repaid her kindness and helped the Li family a lot while they were recovering from their injuries. Not to mention helping with housework and drying medicinal materials, Shen Qiuniang helped with the dewdrops. The time is not short.
So, Li Sanniang picked some light but exquisite silver jewelry from the thank-you gifts she received as a supplement and gave them to Shen Qiuniang.
Mother Li also felt that Shen Qiuniang's first half of life was not easy, and she got involved with her family by chance, so there was nothing wrong with treating her as a relative of her own.
Therefore, Mother Li not only agreed to let Shen Qiuniang marry from the Li family, but also prepared a dowry for Shen Qiuniang according to the custom of marrying a girl in a common family. Mother Li got a lot of the money that Tuva had given her as a gift. Bring them all back to Shen Qiuniang. Mother Li and Sister-in-law Li also went to the fabric shop in person and bought new fabrics to make several quilts.
The furniture that Tuwa bought for the yard in the three outer cities was also bought by Brother Li from Chen Yalang in the shop, who helped match them and bought a lot of high-quality and low-priced items.
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li jointly paid for Shen Qiuniang's wedding dress with a red and green interior, and gave it to Shen Qiuniang as a gift. They also gave Shen Qiuniang some small items to add to her makeup.
The wedding at this time will not start until dusk, but this does not mean that there is nothing to do before dusk.
On the contrary, there are really a lot of things to do during the day today.
In addition to arranging the red silk "Happy" characters, Li's mother specially invited Wang Zhangshao, who was familiar with her, to entertain the guests at noon.
Although Shen Qiuniang no longer has any blood-related relatives in Chang'an City, Li's mother's decision to let her marry from the Li family is equivalent to recognizing her as a relative. I sent a post and told about the happy event that was going to be held at home today.
In other words, they were delivered to the familiar families in the alley, as well as Sister-in-law Li’s natal family and Uncle Li’s place.
As for Tuva, there will be acquaintances from his trick group in the West City who will come to help with the wedding.
When the sun was so busy and the sun was shining, the first family who came to add makeup came, it was Mrs. Qiu who had taken over the work of Li Sanniang's surgical gown in the alley.
Probably for the sake of the Li family, this makeup gift is a piece of red fabric that looks quite delicate, and it looks like it can be used to make a whole set of clothes.
At ten o'clock at noon, the Li family set up three tables in the yard to entertain the neighbors and relatives who came to add makeup.
Afterwards, Li Sanniang went to Shen Qiuniang alone to tell her about some of the couple's major affairs, and told her to stay and take good care of herself before going to have a child.
Shen Qiuniang was not married for the first time, but she still listened to Li Sanniang with a blushing face and suppressed her shame.
"Qiu Niang, although I haven't checked Tuva's pulse, it looks like he is a healthy man.
As a newlywed, you should take some time off.
Although you two are not young, you are not that old either. Especially you, if you take good care of yourself and have a healthy body, you can give birth to healthy children. ”
During her contact with Tuva, Shen Qiuniang had never been intimate. Suddenly she heard Li Sanniang say that Tuva was a healthy man. She felt extremely ashamed, but she still nodded and expressed her gratitude. She listened.
Shen Qiuniang also understood that Li Sanniang told her this because her ex-husband Xu couldn't do it.
"Sanniang has done me a great favor, and I will never do it in this life." In return, whenever the lady needs anything from now on, no matter what she says, Qiuniang will answer her request. ”
Shen Qiuniang grabbed Li Sanniang’s hand and said sincerely, Shen Qiuniang was both sad and happy when she thought about the life she lived in the past, the life she is living now, and the beautiful life she can live in the future. Hold back the red eyes.
Li Sanniang took the corner of the handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Shen Qiuniang's eyes, "Okay, you don't want to cry on your big day. You can't spend this makeup. You will have a good life in the future, which is the best repayment for me, let me I didn't save you in vain, that's enough."
Shen Qiuniang knew that apart from Li Sanniang, the rest of the Li family were also full of goodwill towards her.
Keeping her gratitude deep in her heart, Shen Qiuniang decided to repay Li Sanniang and the Li family well in the future.
Second Sister-in-law Li came in with some snacks, leaving Shen Qiuniang and Second Sister-in-law Li chatting. Li Sanniang walked out of the house and walked to the main courtyard, where she saw four little ones meeting each other under the jujube tree and whispering.
Before Li Sanniang came closer, Li Dalang heard her footsteps. He called his sister-in-law, and the others stood up one by one to say hello to her.
"What are you talking about?"
"Sister-in-law, we are discussing how to embarrass Tuva later?"
As soon as she heard this, Li Sanniang understood that this was the time When welcoming the bride, the woman embarrasses the man, letting him know that this wife has gone through many difficulties to get her home, and she must be treated well.
Li Sanniang immediately found it interesting, so she joined the ranks of the four little ones, and gave them ideas on how to make things difficult, so that it would be interesting without hurting their feelings.
