Queen of flowers - Chapter 53

The veil was drawn down, covering Yong Ruo’s sight, leaving only a red color in her sight.
She couldn’t see the way forward. She panicked in her heart, and couldn’t help thinking that the veil worn by brides in ancient times was similar to the black head cover worn by Western prisoners who were about to get hanged. Their role was to make people blindly go to another world-perhaps heaven or hell. In probability, the latter was much more likely.
Yong Ruo held a sachet in her hand and was carried by Xi Niang to Xi Jiao.
In the vigorous and enthusiastic sound of joy, in the crackling firecrackers, Xijiao set off, and walked out of the Yong family yard, carrying a sedan that also wobbled Yong Ruo, to the Xingjun Wangfu.
Xingjun Wangfu also hosted a banquet.
Those who came to enjoy the wedding were Feng Liao’s close friends, peers, and Heng County Wangfu officials. On this occasion, the elders would not be present.
The sedan chair was lifted into Xingjun Wangfu from the east corner gate and slowly entered the door.
Xi Niang said auspicious words and helped Yong Ruo out of the sedan. Together with another person, Xi Niang, supported Yong Ruo and slowly went to the front hall.
After entering the front hall, Xi Niang helped Yong Ruo to a worship mat. On the other side of the mat, Feng Liao, in a robe, was sitting with a smile.
Along with the sound of joy outside the hall, a loud voice praised loudly, “The new beauty meets the county king!”
Yong Ruo knelt on the worship mat and politely bowed to Feng Liao three times.
Yes! The custom was not that the bride and the “groom” worship heaven and earth, worship parents, and each other, but the husband sits in the upper position, and the bride worships the husband in public in order to show that there was a difference that it was impossible to cross — —This was the essential difference between marrying a wife and concubine etiquette.
The loud voice praised again, “The new beauty salutes the county king!”
Yong Ruo put the sachet in her hands. This sachet was made by herself this morning. A pink plum blossom was embroidered on the pink pouch. The sachet contained the plum blossoms picked from the plum tree in her yard.
The sachet in her hand was picked up by Feng Liao, and their finger touched each other, and Yong Ruo felt the warmth on his finger.
“The County King gives a gift to the new beauty!”
Feng Liao’s warm hand took her hand and slowly put a pair of slightly cold bracelets on her two wrists.
An exclamation sounded around.
“Well … that’s Hetian Red Jade?!” Said a man.
Feng Liao’s smiling voice sounded, “It is Hetian Jade. It was given to me by my queen mother when I was fifteen years old.”
The man said, “This Hetian Jade is more precious than sheep fat jade, and it is rare in the palace. This pair of bracelets has a beautiful color and flawless shape, which is already the best in red jade! You gave this pair to the new beauty … It seems that the third brother is very fond of the new beauty! “
Feng Liao laughed, “That’s obvious!” Holding Yong Ruo’s arm a little harder, he helped her wear them.
Yong Ruo slightly bowed her head, looked through the gap under the veil, and saw the pair of red ​​bracelets on her wrist, they were really beautiful!
She suddenly wanted to ask if it was safe for rent? Wait in line! Urgent use!
Subsequently, Feng Liao stayed outside to entertain the guests, and Yong Ruo was sent to the new house alone.
Concubine marriage didn’t have the consummation ceremony. After Xi Niang sent Yong Ruo to the room, she said a few more auspicious words, then bowed and went. Hua Rou and other girls accompanied Yong Ruo and Feng Liao.
Before waiting long, Feng Liao came in, and he didn’t have much wine smell.
He waved the girls off, and quickly walked to stand in front of Yong Ruo. He took a deep breath, and exhaled quickly. Then he stretched out his hands and slowly, little by little, uncovered the veil on her head.
Yong Ruo felt that her eyes were slightly brighter, and the feeling of sullenness that covered her head quickly disappeared.
She lifted her eyes and saw Feng Jun’s body first, and then she saw the familiar V-shaped face. The face was slightly red from the neck to the ears, and there were traces of smile that could be detected from his eyebrows and on the corners of his cheeks.
She smiled slightly at him, “Wang Ye came back fast!” She broke the silence first.
“No one else is here, call me Rong Shen!” Feng Liao held the veil in one hand, put his other hand behind his back, leaned a little, and faced her face to face.
She went with the flow, “Rong Shen!”
Feng Liao tilted her head and looked at her dissatisfied, “Call again!”
Yong Ruo didn’t do so this time, and smiled, “The girl’s mouth is dry. Would Wang Ye allow me to drink tea before doing this parrot job?”
Feng Liao smiled and continued to correct her, “It was wrong again!” He turned around and walked to the table in front of the bed, kept the veil on the table, poured half a cup of tea, and brought it to her mouth.
“Your husband is serving you to drink tea. How about calling after drinking?”
Yong Ruo was not accustomed to such an intimate move, so she stretched out her hand to pick it up.
Feng Liao shrank his hand, avoided her hand, and smiled, “I said that your husband is serving you!”
