Chapter 361 Greeting Monthly Pass)(1/2)
After dinner the next morning, Fang Cuicui began to dress up.
First, you need to open your face, that is, use two cotton threads to twist the hair on your face.
Jiayin and the others looked at it and their faces twitched. They thought it must be painful, so they subconsciously touched their own cheeks and then rubbed them vigorously.
After the face was opened, the eyebrows were trimmed, and Fang Cuicui's slightly thick eyebrows were trimmed into thin and curved shapes.
Her eyebrows are very thick, and she doesn’t even need to draw them after they are trimmed. She can just trim them into shape.
Jiayin and the others discovered that after Fang Cuicui's eyebrows were trimmed, her whole temperament changed.
Before, her eyebrows were very similar to Fang Zhigang's, with slightly upward raised sword eyebrows, but Fang Zhigang's eyebrows were thicker and wider. Among women, she was considered to have thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Now that I have trimmed my eyebrows into a curved shape, they suddenly become much softer, and I feel like I am a completely different person.
After that, the makeup girl applied a thick layer of powder on her face. It was really thick powder, and it looked so white that it was scary.
Jiayin frowned when she saw it. When Sister Cuicui walks, will she leave a puddle of white powder on the ground with every step she takes?
When you enter the bridal chamber at night, you won't scare the groom out, right?
But after a while she didn't think so anymore.
The makeup artist spread the powder on her face evenly and applied rouge and lipstick. Overall, she looked pretty good.
Except for the fact that the powder was a bit thick before, it looked a bit pale, but it was neutralized after applying rouge.
Covering up Fang Cuicui's previously slightly dark complexion, coupled with the fiery red wedding dress on her body, she looked very delicate and beautiful.
Fang Cuicui was being teased by the makeup girl and she didn't dare to move.
After she finished putting on makeup, everyone from the village came to comb her hair.
Quanzuren means that he has parents-in-law, no brothers or sisters died in infancy, the couple is very harmonious, and the family has children.
This Quanjuren is Fang Youfu's wife, and her father-in-law is Fang Yunan, also known as Grandpa Fang San.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were both in good health. Fang Youfu himself had two sons and a daughter. His wife’s parents were also in good health, and they were all found later.
I settled there just over Fengcheng, and I usually exchanged letters.
Because they were from the county town, they ran with the people in the county town and left early, so there were no casualties.
While combing Fang Cuicui's hair, the blessed aunt muttered something: "One comb until you grow old, two combs to raise your eyebrows. Three combs will fill the ground with children and grandchildren. Four combs will meet noble people. Five combs will make you gentle and obedient. Sixth combs will show you respect between husband and wife. Seven combs will bring you love."
Seven immortals come to celebrate together, eight combs wear lotuses and travel on the road. Nine combs and nine sons have everything, and ten combs make a couple grow old."
By the time she finished reciting, Fang Cuicui's hair had been combed neatly and smoothly.
After that, the makeup lady took the comb and tied Fang Cuicui's hair into a bun. She saw her skillful hands going back and forth among the black hair, and in a moment it was tied into a flower-shaped bun, which looked delicate and strong.
Jiayin and others looked at it with envy on their faces. They were so good at combing their hair. They usually just comb it casually, braid a few braids, and finish it off.
Some people find it troublesome, so they just use a piece of beautiful floral cloth to tie up their hair and wrap it directly.
After the makeup girl fixed the bun with a hairpin, she started to put jewelry on it.
I used the set of lotus hairpins given by Jiayin, a relatively wide lotus hairpin in the middle of the front bun, and a half-open lotus hairpin on both sides with tassels hanging from the bottom.
These two hairpins are also called step by step, which means step by step.
There is also a gold comb engraved with parallel lotus patterns, which can be inserted at the back to fix the bun more firmly.
While helping Fang Cuicui comb her hair, the makeup lady praised: "The craftsmanship of this hairpin is really amazing. I have been to many wealthy families in the county to help comb their hair, but I have never seen anything so exquisite.
The lines on the lotus leaves are clearly visible, and dewdrops are carved on the lotus leaves, which shows the craftsmanship of the craftsmen who made this noodle..."
Then he helped put a gold collar around his neck and gold bracelets on his hands, which complemented each other well with his head and face.
These were not gifts from good news, but were prepared by Fang Li and his wife. They only had a daughter like Fang Cuicui, and their life was better now, so they were very willing to pay for the dowry.
Looking at the woman in the bronze mirror, Fang Cuicui was confused for a moment. Is this really her? She looked rich and exquisite, very different from her previous appearance. She looked like the fairy concubine.
She didn't know that this noodle was really worn by the concubines in the harem, but why it was kept in the Banyue King's treasury was not clear.
It's possible that when they were pirates, they stole tribute from other countries.
By the time all this was done, it was already noon, and the relatives and friends had another wedding banquet, and then waited for the groom to come to greet the bride.
The groom's wedding will be held at dusk, and the groom will come to pick him up in the afternoon.
Of course, if you have a long way to go, you will arrive in advance.
Here we have to bid farewell to the bride's parents, and the groom's officer has to go through five stages and kill six generals, and the brothers and friends he brought with him must recite poems to encourage her to make up, and then the bride can be received, so it's almost time for the ceremony to take her back.
.
Not long after, the groom's official arrived, and the musicians' playing sound came from far away, especially the suona. The sound was so loud that it could be heard from a distance.
The children who were waiting outside the village ran in and shouted, "Sister Cuicui, sister Cuicui, the groom Guan'er is here, the groom Guan Guan is here, but Brother Zhigang and the others are blocking the entrance to the village."
"
That's right, these people went directly to the entrance of the village to block the groom and the official.
There was no way, Fangjia Village was not big after all. If they were blocked at the door of their house, the yard built at that time was not very big, and the groom could rush in in a few steps.
The entrance to the village was blocked and it wasn't far away, so Fang Li's yard was in the first row.
There are many people in Fang Zhigang's generation, and they are all educated, so there is no problem in embarrassing the groom and the official.
Fortunately, the groom Guan'er is also a scholar, and has already passed the scholar examination. He also brings several classmates with him, so he is not necessarily embarrassed by them.
Sure enough, just two-quarters of an hour later, a group of children came back and said that the groom had arrived outside the courtyard and was now passing Fang Zhiyuan's level, which was considered the last level.
The groom's classmates read a poem loudly outside to encourage the bride to make up, and they could hear the good news clearly from inside.
However, I don’t know if the groom’s classmate had to recite it all the way, and he recited it loudly, so his voice was a little hoarse.
Thinking about it, it would be difficult for them. After all, the young people from the Fangjia Village clan were trying to block them, which was quite sad.
When other families pick up a bride, they only have to deal with the bride's brothers and cousins. They have to deal with the whole family of Fangjia Village, which is a lot of people.
But there is nothing the groom can say, after all, they are all cousins of the bride.
Fortunately, there are several classmates of the groom's officer helping to deal with it. If there were fewer people, they would probably be almost speechless by now.
The children were outside the door and made things difficult for the groom Guan'er for a while. They asked him to hand out red envelopes twice before letting him in.
Now that the time has come, they have to get to their husband's house in time for Shen Shi, so they can't miss the auspicious time.
Fortunately, Fangjia Village is not too far from the county seat. Even if you walk slowly in a sedan chair, Shen Shi can reach it without any problem.
Fang Zhigang came in and whispered to his sister: "Sister, I will carry you out."
Fang Cuicui's eyes, which had been covered with a red hijab, turned red instantly, but she blinked hard to blink away the tears in her eyes to avoid wearing makeup.
Fang Zhigang picked up Fang Cuicui and went to the main room first, where the groom was already waiting to say goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
There was a layer of blankets spread on the floor. From the moment the bride left her boudoir, her feet could no longer touch the floor until she reached her husband's house.
This is the custom here.
Fang Zhigang put his sister on the blanket, and as soon as Fang Cuicui's feet landed on the ground, she knelt on the futon on the ground.
This is saying goodbye to my parents.
At this time, Fang Cuicui finally couldn't help it anymore, her tears flowed down, and she said with a choked voice: "Daughter... say goodbye to my father and mother, and thank my parents for their kindness in raising me over the past ten years. I can't have my daughter in front of me in the future."
As a filial piety, I hope my parents will take care of themselves..."
Fang Li and his wife had tears in their eyes and were speechless for a moment.
After a while, Fang Licai said: "From now on, you will be someone else's daughter-in-law. You must be filial to your parents-in-law and live a good life with your husband-in-law... If you are wronged, don't hold it in. When you come back, dad will help you teach him a lesson. This will always be your home!"
"
Fang Cuicui burst into tears when she heard this.
Fang Li's wife secretly pinched the soft flesh on her husband's waist. How could she say this on this special day?
You shouldn't have said that last sentence, but your son-in-law was listening.
When Liu Yunchang heard what his father-in-law said, his heart went crazy.
Look at the father-in-law’s fists as big as sandbags and the tall brother-in-law next to him...
He must treat his wife well in the future!
If it goes wrong, he is afraid that he will be beaten to death by his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Without waiting for Fang Cuicui to reply, he quickly said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will treat Cuicui well in the future and will never let her be wronged!"
Fang Li nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, yes, this guy is very good.
Fang Li's daughter-in-law saw her son-in-law's cowardice, and suddenly felt that her husband had done the right thing. Coupled with the son-in-law's assurance, she felt at ease, and she no longer blamed her husband for not considering the timing of his words.
To be honest, it is better to say this kind of quarrel in advance to avoid getting married and the other party not taking their daughter seriously.
She stepped forward and said to her daughter: "Cui Cui should be filial to her parents-in-law and live a good life in the future. If you don't understand anything, just ask. Don't be smart. You must be good in the future. Do you understand?"
Fang Cuicui nodded with tears in her eyes, choked with sobs for a while and then said: "My daughter knows, my parents, my daughter will be fine."
Fang Li and his wife nodded with satisfaction, "Get up and go, so as not to miss the auspicious time."
To be continued...
