Chapter 158 Sending a Pro
In the bronze mirror, a woman like a puppet was sitting there, letting Xi Po next to her draw on her face. The thick pink paste looked very pale and she couldn't see her original face at all. Then red rouge was added to her face, and the white parted with redness looked even more weird.
Looking at the strange and strange face in the bronze mirror, Yi Niang suddenly wanted to laugh, but as soon as she twitched the corner of her mouth, Xi Po patted her back. The pain made her unable to laugh anymore. Instead, the pink next to her covered her mouth and kept laughing. She probably felt Yi Niang's strange appearance was very funny.
Yi Niang and others were laughing, and most of the others showed a joyful expression, but Yi Niang suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Today was a good day for her to get married, but she could not feel any joy. Instead, she only felt like a doll that could be manipulated by others. The whole marriage seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Although her father Pei Ju had said before that she would marry Li Xiu early, the lady in the Yi Niang was still a little surprised by the upcoming wedding. She was suddenly told yesterday that she would get married today. So as soon as she woke up this morning, she was surrounded by the maid Xi Po who rushed into the room. Then everyone surrounded her, put on auspicious clothes for her, and put on makeup that could not see clearly, which made her look more like a doll now.
"Have you changed your clothes?" At this moment, Lao Fu, who had always been hunched over, walked in and asked expressionlessly. Even on such a festive day, there was no joy on his old face.
"Keepinfu Butler, your clothes have been changed and your makeup has been put on. You can set off at any time!" Xi Po immediately stepped forward to report that to a certain extent, the servants of the Pei family were still more afraid of Lao Fu than Pei Ju, because Lao Fu was the person who was the most directly in charge of their life and death.
"Very good, then get in the car!" Lao Fu nodded coldly, and then ordered.
"Get into the car?" The lady in the air was stunned when she heard this. Because according to the wedding process, after putting on makeup and changing into wedding clothes, she had to wait for the person who married her to come, and then urged makeup outside her boudoir and even recited makeup urge poems. But now she had nothing to get into the car. What is this rule?
Not only did the lady in the clothes not understand, but the others in the boudoir were also stunned and looked at Lao Fu for some unknown reason. However, Lao Fu glared at him: "What are you still standing there? Get the bride into the car quickly!"
Lao Fu had a very high power in the mansion. When he heard him speak again, everyone woke up and immediately started to act. Several maids also stepped forward to help the lady in the air and walked out. At this time, the lady in the air felt a blank mind. She had no idea what situation she was going to face, and even more so, where her destiny was going?
After leaving the boudoir, there was already a carriage with colorful flowers waiting outside. Unable to resist, Yi Niang was stuffed into the car by a group of maids, and then she was pushed into the car as a dowry fan. Then the car came to the front yard. Through the car window, Yi Niang saw that there was a row of carriages parked in the front yard, and the carriage was all her dowry.
In addition, the wardrobe can also see that the man who was called his father was standing in front of the convoy and chatting with an old man in front of him. She seemed to know this old man. If she had not admitted his mistake, the other party should be Pei Ju's younger brother Pei Zhi, but he was not sure. After all, she was rarely seen before, let alone Pei Zhi.
According to the etiquette of getting married, Yi Niang really needs an elder to see him off when she gets married. This person is best if she is her uncle. Although Pei Zhi has no talent, he is the younger brother of Pei Ju, a compatriot. Generally, he will only see him off when his daughter gets married. It seems that Pei Ju really gives Li Xiu face and actually treats Yi Niang as her daughter gets married.
Pei Ju and Pei Zhi chatted for a while. When they saw Yi Niang's carriage coming, they immediately ordered the convoy to set off. Pei Zhi rode a horse and followed Yi Niang's carriage. This was also a ceremony for sending brides. Generally, the people who send brides will not exceed the bride's carriage.
The lady in the carriage looked around for a while, and finally she couldn't help but look desperate in her eyes, because she didn't notice the person who was the wedding, nor did she see Li Xiu, who was the groom, even when she got married, she didn't even show up. What kind of marriage is this?
Just when Mother Yi was desperate and helpless, Mother Yi also got into the carriage. Mother Yi saw her chatting with Lao Fu for a long time, and probably knew the inside story. So Mother Yi forced herself to ask, "Mother Yi, why did she see the bride without seeing the bride? What kind of rules are this?"
"Haha, Miss Pei doesn't know anything. Manager Fu just now told me that he said that the Li family is not in Chang'an and was worried that it would not be auspicious to meet the auspicious time, so he got married according to the custom of sending his wife to the house from afar!" The lady explained with a smile.
The so-called sending a wife to the house to get married from afar mainly means that the two parties who get married are far apart. When encountering this situation, they will definitely not be able to get married according to common sense. Therefore, the woman can only send someone to send the bride to the city where the man is located, and then choose a date to get married. For example, when Princess Pingyang married Chai Shao, she was sent to Chang'an first and then choose a date to get married.
"This...this..." The lady in the air couldn't help but breathe when she heard this. She knew the above customs. Although Li Xiu's family was not in Chang'an, they were just next to Chang'an, and there was no need for this custom of sending the bride to the door. But now her father chose this custom, which is probably because she had ulterior motives.
Although Yi Niang thought of this, she was just a little concubine. In the eyes of her father Pei Zhi, she was probably just a bargaining chip that could be exchanged for benefits, and she was not qualified to express her opinions at all, so she could only be passively manipulated. Thinking of this, Yi Niang couldn't help but show a sad expression in her eyes, probably this was her fate as a daughter of the Pei family.
The Pei family's bride-sending team left the Pei Mansion, which attracted many people's attention along the way. When they saw that there was only a bride's carriage but no groom in the team, and the convoy looked like they were walking far away, many people thought that this was a noble lady who was about to marry far away, but they didn't expect that the person they wanted to marry was next to Chang'an City.
