The girls present felt envious again. Perhaps at first, they felt that Su Wan was very pitiful. They felt that she was going to marry a poor candidate who failed to pass the examination in spring, and that would be the case for the rest of her life.
But later on, they were shocked again and again by what happened one after another.
First, she was granted the title of princess by the emperor and was given the marriage in person. Then, the Li family gave her enough face, whether it was a marriage proposal or a formal betrothal gift, making her so glamorous that the entire imperial city was envious. .
Even now that she is getting married, she has hired such a good embroiderer to embroider her wedding dress. She will definitely get married with great splendor. In the future, few people in this imperial city can compare with her.
Besides, Su Wan's dowry is even more enviable and enviable. When they get married in the future, they will be extremely satisfied if they can get half as much as Su Wan's.
"It is Mrs. Prince Pingyuan."
Su Wan stood up with a smile and went to the door of the house to greet them. He happened to see Mr. Li and Mrs. Pingyuan Hou Shizi entering the door.
Su Wan bowed slightly and saluted: "Mother, Madam Prince."
Ms. Li wore a crimson dress today, with a gold hairpin on her head. She looked glamorous and elegant, with decent makeup and a somewhat festive look on her face.
Tong, the wife of Prince Pingyuan, is only thirty-eight years old this year. She is an aristocratic lady. Today she is wearing a begonia red dress with large sleeves. She is elegant and decent. Her face is slightly round and a little blessed, and she smiles. It makes people feel very close.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite."
After saying that, she reached out and took Su Wan's hand and walked into the room. The girls also greeted Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Li before sitting down and talking.
Mrs. Li said to Mrs. Tong, "Mrs. Shizi, I have a lot to do with you today."
Mrs. Tong smiled and said, "Third Madam, you are very polite. It is my honor to comb the princess's hair."
While several people were talking, a maid filled a copper basin with half a basin of warm water and asked Tong to wash her hands.
Mrs. Tong washed her hands in warm water. There was a maid waiting with a clean towel. After she finished washing her hands, she handed her the towel to wipe her hands. After wiping her hands, she went to the dressing table. While walking, he was going to comb Su Wan's hair.
When she came closer, Xiao Fei handed her a white jade comb tied with red silk and with a word "囍" engraved on it.
At this time, there was a breeze blowing in from the window, and the red silk decorations around the house were gently raised. It looked quite festive, but most of the things Su Wan used to use in the past had been put away, and the house seemed a little empty.
There was nothing in front of the dressing table except a phoenix crown covered with red silk and other items that would be needed later.
Mrs. Tong stood behind Su Wan, looking at the beautiful bride in the bronze mirror, combing her hair with a white jade comb. Ms. Tong held a handful of Su Wan's hair, and while combing her hair, she chanted:
"Comb it all the way to the end.
The girl with two combs has white hair reaching her eyebrows.
The girl with three combs has her children and grandchildren all over the place.
The four combs bring you good luck, and you will meet noble people on your way out.
Five combs and five sons came to accept the contract, and there were five silver bamboo shoots in all kinds.
Six combs of relatives and friends came to help celebrate, and the mirror in the boudoir was dyed rouge.
The Seven Sisters of the Seven Combs came down to earth to marry Dong Yong, and they looked down upon each other on the Magpie Bridge.
The eight combs and eight immortals came to congratulate me on my birthday, and the precious duck traveled on the lotus path.
There are all kinds of nine combs and nine sub-links.
It takes ten combs for a couple to grow old..."
The white jade comb was combed back and forth between Su Wan's satin-like hair, combed again and again, and again.
Su Wan stiffened up, her heart was a little sore, and her eyes were a little sore. Su Luo's eyes were already red, but she didn't dare to cry. She turned around and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.
At this moment, she really felt that her sixth sister was really going to get married and would no longer be able to accompany her every day in the future.
Mrs. Li gently held Su Luo in her arms, her eye circles were also slightly red.
Although Su Wan is her stepdaughter, she has not made things difficult for her in these years. The two of them get along pretty well. Now that Su Wan is getting married, she always feels that there is someone missing in the family, as if something is missing.
"Congratulations to the Princess." Mrs. Tong finished chanting and chanted, and then placed the jade comb on the plum blossom tray that was folded with red silk and was held by Xiao Pei.
"Congratulations, Princess!"
"Congratulations A Wan!"
The girls next to her also expressed their congratulations. At this time, Xiao Sang next to her gave the thank-you gift that she had prepared for Mrs. Tong early.
It was an octagonal fruit food box. Xiao Sang opened the food box and found that it was divided into eight grids and placed one thing in each of the eight grids. These were thank-you gifts for Mrs. Quanfu.
There are two ingots of gold in one grid, two ingots of silver in another grid, treasure hairpins, pastries, fruits, grains, and preserves in the other grids. The last grid only has a piece of red cloth tied with a handkerchief, with embroidery on it. With the word "福".
These gifts include gold, silver and jewelry, symbolizing wealth, grains, symbolizing food and clothing, pastries and fruit preserves, symbolizing the sweetness and beauty of the day, and lastly, the red cloth, which is the blessing and gratitude given by the newlyweds to Mrs. Quanfu. .
Mrs. Tong received the gift and immediately smiled: "Thank you, Princess."
Su Wan said: "It's me who wants to thank Madam."
Mrs. Li invited Mrs. Tong to sit aside, and then asked Xiaobao to comb and tie Su Wan's hair, and put on the jewelry and phoenix crown one by one.
If it were an ordinary family, Mrs. Quanfu would probably be able to help with hair combing, but ladies from high-end mansions may not have this skill. In order to avoid causing trouble, Mrs. Quanfu only had to help with combing hair and saying a congratulatory message. , the rest is left to those who are good at it.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tong sat down next to each other, and the girls gathered around to watch Xiaofeng giving Su Wanwan her hair. Xiaofeng deftly tied Su Wanwan's hair into a bride's bun, and then gave her earrings inlaid with rubies. , Eight Treasures Bracelet, and at the end, the phoenix crown covered with red silk cloth was opened.
The people present looked at it and immediately let out an exclamation.
The phoenix crown Su Wan got married in was entirely golden. Although there was no phoenix on it, a ruby was inlaid in the middle. The sides were delicately decorated with flowers, plants, animals, auspicious clouds, and the sun, moon, and stars.
On both sides of the phoenix crown, there are tassel flowers with golden tassels hanging down, and they sway with the swaying of the phoenix crown.
The shape of the entire phoenix crown is rare, and the furnishings everywhere are exquisite and exquisite. It can be called a treasure of ingenuity.
"It's so beautiful. This phoenix crown is so beautiful!"
"nice!"
"It looks noble and dignified, but it's much prettier than those phoenixes."
"This gem is also so big!"
"Princess, where did you buy this phoenix crown? When I get married in the future, I will be satisfied if I have such a person."
"You think so beautifully!"
Su Wan smiled. Su Xun and Li Lin prepared this phoenix crown for her together. The old craftsman who made the hairpin crown for her was the old craftsman who hired it. The gems were Su Xun's collection.
Su Wan didn't know what the two people had discussed before, but when she saw the phoenix crown, she was stunned for a moment, but the phoenix crown was ready at that time, so she couldn't pull out the gems.
"My father and Mr. Li asked someone to build this together. I don't know the details. I heard that it was an old craftsman who was elusive. My father and Mr. Li searched for a long time before they found him."
The girls nearby felt a pity when they heard this.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard, and someone shouted loudly: "Coming in! Coming in! The Li family is here to welcome the bride!"
"The Li family is here to welcome the bride!!!"
