During this sleep, maybe it was because I was holding my daughter in my arms, or maybe it was because I was being held by my mother in my dream. I slept very well and very deeply, so deeply that I almost didn’t want to wake up.

So, when I opened my eyes, the room was already bright.

I blinked between my messy hair and looked at the bright window. I was confused for a while, and then I suddenly came to my senses - today is the day when Pei Yuanxiu and I will get married!

But looking at it now, at least it’s already past midnight, and no one has come to call me?

I was about to sit up when I felt my body sink. It was Li'er who was still nestled in my arms. I quickly and carefully carried her to the side. The girl mumbled twice and fell asleep again holding the quilt.

I put on my clothes and got out of bed. When I walked to the door and opened it, I saw several maids standing outside. When they saw me, they immediately saluted: "Mrs. Qingying."

"How long have you been here?"

"Go back to Mrs. Qingying, I've been waiting for a while."

"Why didn't you call me? Isn't it too late now?"

"It's not too late. It's the master's order, so that my wife must have a good rest today."

I frowned. Did Pei Yuanxiu give his order? Could it be that the auspicious time he chose was very late? It’s already this time, so why don’t you wake me up in a hurry?

While I was still thinking about it, several maids already said to me: "Madam, please come with us to freshen up."

I was still wondering why I wasn't in my own room to wash myself, but when I turned around and saw Li'er sleeping soundly on the bed, I knew it. Besides, I was going to worship today, and those who were happy were not here with me, so they naturally wanted to go.

Prepare somewhere else. So I nodded and told one of them: "Watch Li'er carefully and take care of her when she wakes up later."

"Mrs. Qingying, please rest assured."

I nodded and followed them.

These maids took me outside a house deep in the garden. Before I opened the door, I smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air. Although it was early spring and there were already flowers blooming in the garden, they had never been so rich.

Aroma.

When I opened the door and walked in, the scent rushed towards me and surrounded me.

In front of me is a huge marble-paved bath, which is full of milky white soup, with petals of various colors floating on it, red, yellow, purple, and white. The colors are particularly beautiful. The soup seems to have been added with medicinal soup, and there is also a faint fragrance of flowers.

The medicinal fragrance.

I stood by the bathtub in shock. Several maids had already closed the door and came forward and said: "Master, please take a bath first and then change clothes."

Since he had already arranged it, I had nothing to say, so I simply spread my hands and helped them. After taking off my clothes, there was still a little coolness in the air, which was soon dissipated by the steaming heat rising in the bath. I took a step

Stepping down from the bathtub, the milky white soup slowly submerged me. The temperature was not too hot, not too cold, and it felt comfortable against my skin.

I felt so comfortable that I couldn't help but sigh softly.

Several maids were not idle either. Some of them gently combed my long hair that was soaked in water like black silk. Some of them trimmed my nails. Some of them gently kneaded my shoulders to make me feel more relaxed in the bath.

Behind the screen, it seems that several figures can be seen busy coming and going, preparing clothes and accessories.

I was originally worried that it was late, but seeing that they were not in a hurry at all, it seemed that Pei Yuanxiu had already arranged it. Since he was not in a hurry, I was even less anxious, and bathing like this was really comfortable, so I just relaxed and had a good time.

Soak thoroughly.

Normally, I would feel sleepy if I soaked in the bath soup like this, but today this bath soup was mixed with unknown medicinal materials. It was not only delicate and soft, but also very refreshing. After soaking for a while, I felt better. There was a sound coming from the bath.

, they used towels to gently dry my hair and skin. When I looked up, I saw several maids outside had come in with clothes in their hands, and carefully put the clothes on for me one by one.<

/p>

My long hair was still wet and hanging around my head. I slowly walked out of the bathroom. Behind the screen was another room with a large dressing table and a huge bronze mirror. As soon as I walked over, I saw

My appearance reflected inside.

Perhaps because I had just taken a shower, there was still a faint blush on my face caused by the heat, which complemented the bright red clothes on my body. It made my skin as white as snow and my eyes as bright as paint. A maid behind me couldn't help but smile and said: "

The lady is so beautiful in her wedding dress that the young master will definitely look at her without batting an eye."

I smiled and said nothing, just looked at myself in the mirror.

This wedding dress is more luxurious than I thought. It is embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes thinly with gold thread, which wraps around my body vividly, and a thin layer of robe wraps everything up like clouds and smoke.

The half-hidden scenery makes people want to find out more and more.

I was supported by them and slowly sat down in front of the dressing table.

The hair was gently rubbed and dried, smeared with hair oil, tied up strand by strand, and combed into a simple but exquisite bun. It was decorated with gold hairpins and phoenix crowns, and it was time to put on makeup. Usually

I don't like makeup the most, but today I have to do it. I put on a light layer of rouge, my cheeks were as red as if they were stained with haze. I swiped my eyebrows and touched my red lips. A face that was so gorgeous and strange appeared in the mirror.<

/p>

I looked at myself in the mirror, a little dazed.

Several maids already laughed and said: "Madam is so beautiful."

"Yes, it's just a touch of makeup, just like a fairy in a painting."

"My wife usually doesn't put on makeup. It turns out there is a reason. She is afraid of making the young master even more fascinated."

I couldn't help but smile and looked back at them: "You are so sweet, don't forget to collect the reward later."

When they heard this, they hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Thank you, madam!"

Maybe it's because I don't show much force in my life, so they are not afraid of me. Also, today is a happy day. A group of girls have been chirping for a long time, which is a bit noisy. But fortunately, they are so noisy, which makes me lose my energy.

There was no room for random thoughts, so I stood up and turned to look at the unfamiliar man with heavy makeup in the bronze mirror. For some reason, I frowned slightly.

When several maids saw me frowning, they were frightened and asked hurriedly: "Mrs. Qingying, what's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"

Seeing their cautious looks, I smiled and said, "It's okay."

As he spoke, he looked at himself in the mirror again.

A strange self.

I remembered the last time I was in Jixiang Village, the simple wedding dress with almost no decoration, but it was also bright red, setting off my equally bright face. Huang Tianba said, "The bride is very beautiful."

Even the hearty laughter of the man welcoming guests seems to still be in my ears.

At that time, I thought I had achieved my own happiness and could continue to live happily like this, but I never imagined that one day, I would put on a wedding dress again.

This is already my third marriage.

Which woman needs to marry three times in her life but still can’t see the end of her life?

The maids kept surrounding me. Seeing that my face looked a little sad, they hurriedly smiled and said: "Madam is so beautiful, it is so dazzling."

"It's so beautiful!"

……

Listening to those half-true and half-false flatteries, I just smiled faintly, turned away, and didn't look in the mirror again.

I was waiting for them to bring the hijab, but no one among the maids took action. I asked, "Where is the hijab?"

"Mrs. Qingying, the master has ordered me that you don't need to cover your head today."

"Ah? No need to cover your head?" I looked at them doubtfully. If I don't cover my head when I get married, does he want everyone to see me?

"Then, where to worship?"

"Madam, please go this way."

I became more and more confused, but I still followed them out. The house was quiet and there were almost no people. It was strange that when he got married, shouldn't there be a large number of guests? At least all the celebrities from the Jiangnan area should be present. Why?

On the contrary, it's a little more deserted than usual.

As we walked, I felt something was wrong, and we actually arrived at the gate.

Outside the door, a golden car is waiting.

It was an open carriage, shining with golden light. The carriage was filled with colorful flowers, and strips of crimson satin were wrapped around the shaft and armrests, fluttering gently in the wind. The whole carriage was as gorgeous and exquisite as a dream.

Average.

I froze there.

At this time, Susu, who had been standing beside the golden car, came over and saluted me: "Miss."

I was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her. She also put on a new suit of clothes, and even put on a light make-up. The young girl originally had picturesque features, but she became even more charming and charming in this way.

I looked at her and said with some confusion: "Susu, why are you here?"

"Master Pei asked me to come and see you off."

"...Ah? Ah!"

It suddenly occurred to me that there is a custom that when you get married, someone from your mother's family must come to see you off. Naturally, it is impossible for people in my family to come to see me off, but Susu is the girl who follows me and is considered a family member, so naturally she should come to see me off.

I entered the Xitang.

Just——

I asked in confusion: "What's going on with this car? Is Xitang not in the house?"

"I don't know where it is, but -" Su Su glanced at me with a smile and said with a bit of excitement: "Miss, you will know when you go out and take a look."

I was a little puzzled, but she led me out and got on the flower-bedecked carriage.

In addition to the driver, there were two pairs of guards escorting me around, and Susu was also following the carriage. The carriage was not moving very fast, and they could keep up on foot, but I watched the carriage slowly drive out, away from the mansion.
To be continued...
