In the end, Yun Qiu still wanted to marry into the family of the Marquis. It would be unrealistic for them to marry into the family.
Old Lady Wang's ears listened to Grandma Li's agreement, but the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped. Grandma Li quickly put down the work in her hands and softly comforted her. "Old Aunt, don't worry. Miss will do her best, everything will be fine."
Yes, everything will be fine. The eldest miss is such a good girl, so she shouldn't have to go through too much suffering.
The sounds of firecrackers and joyful voices suddenly sounded together. The auspicious day had arrived, and the bride had gotten married.
Old Madame Li stopped what she was doing and looked at the bustling scene in front of her. After a while, she clasped her hands together and murmured, "Bodhisattva bless you. I hope young lady is lucky enough to meet someone like my husband."
This was all they, the servants, could do. In such a world, even if one had the intention, what use would there be?
"Miss, are you thirsty? Hungry? This servant will find you something to eat, okay? " After helping Yun Qiu into the inn to rest, Yu'er looked at the little miss dressed in the gorgeous gold-red wedding dress, and felt her heart ache for her.
Yun Qiu lifted her aching neck slightly, thinking to herself that it was fortunate that she only wore this phoenix coronet once in her entire life. If she wore it one more time, then her pitiful neck would have definitely been broken.
Listening to Yu'er's rambling, Yun Qiu was both amused and moved. She was going to face a completely new environment in the future. She was initially panicking, but when she thought of the people who truly cared for her, she felt that everything wasn't so bad. No matter how much suffering there was, there would always be a time when everything would be fine, wouldn't it?
The bridal veil covered her entire face, and Yu'er could only see the thin white neck of the young lady, which had lowered her head.
Hm? There was no movement. Did he fall asleep?
Yu'er hesitated for a moment, but just as she was about to say something, a golden red screen suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. When she regained her senses, she saw the young lady lifting her bridal veil without permission. The handkerchief on her head had already fallen onto her shoulder. Yu'er was stunned for a moment before realizing something. She quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Miss, I can't do that. This is a phoenix coronet, and you are currently a new bride.
Yun Qiu stopped what he was doing and looked at Yu'er. His gentle face carried a faint smile, as usual. However, with the addition of the rouge, it instead revealed the delicate charm of a newlywed.
"Oh." She responded faintly, as if she understood the meaning of Yu'er's words.
Yu'er let out a sigh of relief upon hearing the young lady's cooperation. She thought to herself, It's a good thing. However, her breath stopped, and she saw that the young lady was still trying to remove the phoenix crown on her head. Her movements seemed to be very slow, but her speed was quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, the entire phoenix crown was taken off. There wasn't even time for her to stop him.
She walked forward in frustration, and let out three sighs. She was extremely depressed, "Miss, there's still going to be a meeting tomorrow. How are you going to break it down? What should I do?"
"Yu'er, it's fine. You'll have to take it off at night. You can wear it tomorrow." Yun Qiu raised a hand to gently rub his neck, frowning. "Today, my neck is extremely sore. Go ask the waiter for some hot water."
"Yes, miss." Yu'er had no choice but to obey. Since young, Miss has always been a straightforward person. Since she said it was fine, nothing will happen to her.
After so many years of serving by Yun Qiu's side, Yu'er was curious as to why such a gentle and beautiful young lady would always make things less big and make things less complicated. However, her trust and blind faith in her had already been deeply ingrained.
After Yu'er left, Yun Qiu was the only one left in the temporary room. Since it was not a proper bridal chamber, all the decorations were red silk to mark the celebration. There were no lanterns or candles.
Yun Qiu had just taken a look when she heard knocking on the door. "Knock, knock …"
Yu'er had always been a straightforward person. Previously, she was the one who sent her out, so when she came back, she naturally wouldn't knock on the door. In that case, it definitely wouldn't be Yu'er who was outside. Yun Qiu thought about it in her heart and said, "Mrs Qiao, come in."
"Creak —"
Someone pushed open the door and entered. Yunqiu raised her eyes and saw Ma Qiao wearing a plain sandalwood colored jacket and skirt slowly walking in from outside. Mother Qiao had always been simple and unsophisticated, never wearing bright colored clothes. Now that she was dressed like this, it made her seem a lot younger. Mama Qiao had grown up in the Wen Mansion and served Wen Yushi until she married into the Hou Mansion. She had not left until she was almost forty years old, but she had never married.
If Wen Yu Shi had some debt before she died, it was probably because she owed Ma Qiao.
Yun Qiu watched Mrs Qiao walk in quietly. When she got closer, she smiled warmly and said, "Mrs Qiao, you look really good today. You should dress up like this in the future."
She smiled uncomfortably and said, "Miss, the other party is from the Li family. He was alone, and I heard that he settled down there two years ago."
Yun Qiu smiled brightly and nodded. "That's more like it." She tilted her head and thought for a while before asking, "Mrs Qiao, have you found out that person's temper?"
Mrs Qiao nodded: "Although this person has a beard, it is rare for him to be amiable. He has good relations with the neighbors in the Li family recess. Every day, he leaves the city and the sun sets. He seems more like a farmer. As for the details, no one knows. "
"So it's like that …" Yun Qiu slightly frowned, clear almond eyes half closed, the wrinkles between the brows gathered into a river.
[That's easy enough, but it feels weird …]
Seeing that it was unknown where Yun Qiu's mind had gone, Mrs Qiao silently bowed and left.
Yun Qiu couldn't sleep anymore. It was the eve of his wedding.
This season just reached the autumn of the tail, but at night can experience the deep autumn more. Yun Qiu stood up gently and got off the bed after putting on his thin shirt.
It was too late in the night. The surroundings were completely silent. Even the chirping of cicadas could no longer be heard. Yun Qiu knocked on the door four times and said, "The weather is dry. Be careful not to light candles." With four more chimes, it should be the fourth day. The sky would brighten in another two hours.
He lightly opened the wooden window, and the soft moonlight shone through it. In the darkness, the moonlight was like a silver muslin fog, covering the eaves, the stone steps, and the pillars. It was clearly the capital, but to Yun Qiu, it seemed so unfamiliar. It was gorgeous yet unfamiliar.
The night wind blew into the room, adding to the chill of the night. A cool breeze blew by, causing Yun Qiu to shiver slightly. It was only then did he realize that he had been standing here for an unknown amount of time.
