PFC Chapter 160 Wedding
Chapter 160 Wedding
One hundred and ninety-two? That's three times the total!
I heard that when Li Chengrui married the Crown Princess, her dowry was only ninety-six loads.
It is conceivable that if she were to get married tomorrow, these 192 sedan chairs carried from the Princess's Mansion to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would attract a lot of attention.
No, no! !
The ten-mile red wedding is grand and prestigious, but it is inappropriate!
The war has just ended and Dayue is not rich to begin with. Now she has prepared a dowry of 192 loads. Isn't this just showing off her wealth and attracting hatred?
Moreover, it would be even more troublesome if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of the situation and created trouble.
only……
Lin Xiangxiang looked at the Lin couple who were kneeling on the ground anxiously. But if she didn't accept it, the Lin family would definitely think that she was blaming them or deliberately distancing herself from them.
She really didn't have that in mind. Although she had no plans to get too close to them at the moment, they were a family in name after all. And the Lin couple didn't seem like the kind of people who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak, or had bad intentions. Since they had no problems and had helped her get registered, she would naturally be polite to them.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "I know your feelings. I will accept this dowry, but..."
"Now that Dayue has just ended the war, it's not appropriate for this princess to be too prominent at the moment, so this dowry will be placed in the princess's mansion for now!"
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Jinde naturally thought of the interests involved. He was immediately annoyed and his face became panicked. He hurriedly explained:
"Princess, I didn't mean that. I was stupid and thoughtless, and I almost put you in an unjust situation. I originally wanted to repay you, but, but..."
But it was not convenient to give the money directly. It happened that the princess was getting married, so he thought of repaying the princess by buying her a dowry.
Mrs. Lin, who was kneeling beside her, nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, Princess, we are grateful to you and will not do anything to hurt you."
If it weren't for the princess, their Lin family wouldn't be as wealthy as it is today. Their original intention today was to thank the princess. If this backfires, they will regret it to death.
Seeing this, Lin Xiangxiang lowered her hand, a gentle smile on her face, "Don't be so nervous, this princess has no intention of blaming you."
"Stand up, don't kneel down all the time. From now on, no matter if there are outsiders around or not, you don't have to kneel in front of this princess."
Even if they were not her nominal parents, they were still distant relatives of the Marquis of Jing'an, Han Ling and Xie Beiheng, so they were naturally her distant relatives. Besides, she didn't like others kneeling to her at every turn.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Princess." Upon hearing this, the couple got up from the ground and sat down on a chair beside them with a little nervousness.
Seeing that they were indeed people who knew their limits and were responsible, Lin Xiangxiang also wanted to get to know them better.
Then he asked, "Are you the only two coming to the capital this time? Where are your other brothers and sisters?"
In ancient times, anyone with a little money would probably have concubines and a number of legitimate and illegitimate children.
As expected, upon hearing this, Lin Jinde said respectfully, "My Lady, I have six children. Madam gave birth to a son and a daughter for me, and the other two sons and two daughters were born to my concubine."
After saying this, he added, "They have never seen the world. I am worried that they might offend the princess if they come here rashly, so I did not bring them with me to the capital this time."
Uh-huh~
After hearing this, Lin Xiangxiang couldn't help but like them even more.
If it were someone else, they would probably take this opportunity to send their children to Beijing to see if they could find a daughter-in-law or son-in-law there. Unexpectedly, this couple was sober-minded.
The three of them chatted in the living room for a while, and then Lin Xiangxiang went back to her room.
Her wedding is tomorrow, and she has to quickly familiarize herself with the procedures!
……
The next day.
The second day of October.
Good luck and a good time to get married.
It was still dark.
Cuihe had been standing beside Lin Xiangxiang's bed for a quarter of an hour, feeling aggrieved.
After repeated attempts to wake her up failed, she could only forcibly pull Lin Xiangxiang out of bed, "Princess, it's really time to get up and take a bath. If you're any later, you'll miss the auspicious time."
Lin Xiangxiang was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Oh my god, she didn't know what happened, she couldn't sleep last night.
She didn't feel that excited at all!
Oh my God, I hope she won’t fall asleep in the sedan chair later!
"Xiao Cuihe, the auspicious time is Youshi. Do we really have to get up now?"
She is really sleepy!
Are you kidding me? The auspicious time is 5pm, so she has to get up at 6am. She thought it was unreasonable when she found out last night, and now she just thinks it's crazy!
Cui He pulled her, "Princess, you really need to get up now, otherwise it will be too late. The nanny has arrived. If you don't get up, she will come in and bathe you herself!"
The nanny is Liu Ma who is beside Li Chenghe. Liu Ma is fifty-four years old this year. Her parents and parents-in-law are still alive, she and her husband are loving and harmonious, she has two sons and one daughter, and many grandchildren. Li Chenghe specially called her to dress and comb Lin Xiangxiang's hair. She is a lucky woman. Not only that, she also helps to take care of all the matters of the Princess's Mansion today.
When she heard that she needed help with bathing, Lin Xiangxiang sat up straight.
She doesn't want anyone else to bathe her!
Cuihe was laughing secretly, she knew this trick would work.
Lin Xiangxiang opened the door and looked around. She saw that the courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere, with red silk, red lanterns and big red wedding characters everywhere.
All the servants in the mansion also changed into new clothes. Although they were busy, everyone's face was filled with smiles, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Lin Xiangxiang couldn't help but smile as well, and her sleepiness gradually dissipated.
Yes, she is going to be a bride, she is going to marry Xie Beiheng!
This is the only time in your life, why are you feeling sleepy? Cheer up!
He held his cheeks with both hands, slapped them twice, then rubbed his face and went to the bathroom.
Wash, bathe, dress and comb your hair.
At this time, Nanny Liu was standing behind Lin Xiangxiang, combing her hair and saying auspicious words with a kind smile.
"Comb all the way to the end."
"Two combs, white hair to eyebrows."
"Comb your hair three times, and you'll have children and grandchildren all over the place..."
Lin Xiangxiang listened to these words and looked at herself in the bronze mirror wearing a red wedding dress, and she felt even happier in her heart.
With white hair reaching their eyebrows and children and grandchildren all around...it's her and Xie Beiheng!
After Aunt Liu finished combing her hair, the makeup lady came in immediately. She was responsible for putting on makeup for Lin Xiangxiang's face.
In ancient times, every woman had to have her face threaded on her wedding day, and this was only done once in her life. Double threads were used to remove the sweat hairs on her face, symbolizing that the little girl had become a young wife.
By the time I finished waiting, the sun was already high in the sky.
But the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, just right, making people feel comfortable and cozy. It was indeed a good day for a wedding.
Then, the makeup artist began to comb Lin Xiangxiang's hair and put on makeup. Her hair was complicated and her makeup was exquisite.
Lin Xiangxiang felt like a century had passed. Just when she was about to give up holding her head high, the makeup artist finally painted an exquisite red plum blossom between her eyebrows, and the job was done!
Finally, put on the golden eight-treasure phoenix crown.
"Wow, Princess, you are so beautiful!" Cui He exclaimed with her eyes full of golden light and her mouth wide open.
It felt like the princess's whole body was bright red and shiny.
Seventeen also smiled and nodded, "You are so beautiful that you can overwhelm the country and are as gorgeous as a peach blossom. The prince will definitely be mesmerized by you tonight and can't take his eyes off you."
Lin Xiangxiang laughed, and before she could look in the mirror, she heard Bai Hanling's surprised exclamation coming from the direction of the door.
"Oh my god, cousin, you are so beautiful!"
Although Lin's parents came, they were not familiar with each other after all, and there were only two of them, so the Marquis of Jing'an also acted as her family and came to see her off.
When Xie Beiheng comes to pick up the bride later, Bai Hanling's elder brother Bai Yanxing will carry her out.
