Chapter 179 Hairpin (Part 1)
September fifteenth is undoubtedly a grand day.
When A Yao’s birthday and her hairpin were about to be surprised and excited when she received the post from her. Time flies like a flash of time, as if we were drilling a dog hole together in the blink of an eye, and studying in Nanxun Caotang together was something that happened yesterday.
He started preparing A Yao's gift more than a month ago. At first, he learned from A Yao that she decided to make a meal on her birthday, and was quite disappointed. Then A Yao handed him a post. He opened the invitation and glanced at it: "Who else did you invite?"
"Not many, the guests are just a few neighbors, a few people in the foot shop, and Brother Mo." A Yao said: "When the Jiaqu ceremony is over, I will stay for dinner. Master Wangyue will cook."
Pei Shuo asked: "I must have arrived that day. By the way, can I bring Yao Cuishengxiang and Uncle Fu?"
When A Yao heard the familiar name, her eyes lit up and she was surprised: "Is it convenient? That's great!"
So on September 15th, Pei Shuo got up earlier than the chicken. After the third day of the day, he stood up and practiced half an hour of walking, half an hour of leg skills, half an hour of sword skills, and one hour of big guns as usual.
At this time, the sky was clear and the dew condensed on the leaves evaporated with the sun. The servants of the Hou Mansion walked around one after another. The rooster crowed three times, and the middle clothes were wet with sweat, and they clasped against the muscles and showed beautiful lines.
As soon as the time for martial arts practice came, he immediately dropped his gun and rushed to the bath, changed into the straight skirt that he had steamed with agarwood for the whole night yesterday, tidied up his clothes and hats in front of the bronze mirror, inserted a wooden hairpin, and sniffed whether there was any residual smell of sweat on his body. Yao Cui and Sheng Xiang followed the honeysuo and were about to wake Pei Shuo up, but found that he had already cleaned up himself.
"Don't forget the gift and set off for A Yao's house!"
...
A carriage from Nanxun came to A Yao's door early in the morning.
Wangyue and A Yao were waiting outside the door. When they saw that the long-lost lady Yan and Qi Zhiying came out after lifting the curtain. Qi Zhiying jumped out of the carriage. The two girls met for a long time, holding each other firmly, and curled their eyes with a smile.
"Ying Niang!"
"A Yao, long time no see!"
The wife of the mountain captain of Nanxun Caotang looked at A Yao and said happily: "A Yao, people say that you should not look at each other with admiration for three days. Now you are more rounder than when you were in Nanxun."
Looking at the little face, I wanted to pinch it.
A Yao held her chin, and she was melancholy, I was not fat.
"Yingniang, you go and sit in the house first. A Yao, go and invite Yu Niang. She is today's Yousi, and then change the clothes. I and Niang and Yu Niang still have details to discuss." Wangyue instructed, A Yao responded frankly, and Yingniang said she would follow her too. The trip she came here was not only to watch the ceremony, but her mother was the guest of A Yao, and she was the praise helping her mother to deliver the ceremony. She also wanted to see the candidates for Yousi.
Yu Niang accompanied her husband to A Yao's house. The people around her suddenly stopped. She looked at her husband in confusion. After seeing him being surprised, she respectfully greeted A Yao's "mother" and a woman beside her: "Hello, Master's wife."
Wangyue and Niangzi Yan looked at each other. After counting breaths, Niangzi recognized him and undoubtedly called out his name: "So it's Yan Xu, how are you doing recently?"
"If you say that to Master's wife, everything is fine. You are here because..." Yan Xu looked back at Yu Niang, and then looked at Niang Yan standing at A Yao's doorstep, as if he realized it.
"A coincidence, I've been acquainted after a circle." Wangyue's eyes came and went between the two of them, covered her mouth and laughed, bowing to Miss Yan, "There are many peaches all over the world, congratulations to Miss Yan."
"Don't be slutty." Niangzi Yan said angrily.
"Okay, okay, this is A Yao's neighbor Yu Niang. He takes good care of A Yao. This time he specially invited her to be the Yousi." Wangyue introduced Yu Niang to Niang Yan.
Inside the house, A Yao changed into a garment and shoes, Yu Niang poured tea for herself, and looked at the house where she lived.
"A Yao, you live in the capital with great pleasure. I like this fire pit. I don't worry about the cold wind blowing into the house in winter."
"I like it too! Alas, it's really troublesome to have a hairpin." A Yao changed her clothes and turned around in front of Yingniang.
A horse bun is thrown away, leaving long hair on the back of the brain, so that you can comb your hair by opening a gift. The symbol of picking clothes is a boy, and there are two sets of clothes next to the bed. They are for changing clothes when they are worn during the hairpin. Each set of clothes and the hairpin added three times have their own meaning.
Yingniang gave her a blank look: "How many girls want to have a decent wedding ceremony. This is an important turning point in her daughter's family's life. You can see the attitude of the family towards her, and even have financial resources. After the wedding, you can talk about the wedding. You are fine, you think it's troublesome. Speaking of wedding, do you like someone? "
"Ahem..." A Yao was choked: "Ying Madam, you were not like this before! You have become bad!"
"It's normal for a girl to have a spring. A Yao, you tell me quietly, are there anyone you like? Or is it Pei Shuo?"
“Where is it.”
Having said that, A Yao still blushed unyieldingly.
...
Pei Shuo arrived at the auspicious time. There were ten guests watching the ceremony. He brought three of them, including Mo Xingle, several people from Sun Niang's Foot Shop, and bird's nest. Although there were not many people, Wangyue carefully bought the ceremony and invited the music team to play music.
There are three or four square tables and benches in the yard for guests to sit in. The seats of the main seats and the main seats are arranged under the osmanthus tree, and carpets are laid on the screens and hang pictures. A paper screen is also placed in front of the cottage to block it, which also allows A Yao to go around the screen when entering and leaving the house. On the side of the screen, bamboo mats are laid in front of the main seat, which is where A Yao and the hairpin are placed.
As soon as the auspicious time comes, close the door and Wangyue simply thanks the guests for their arrival.
A Yao slowly walked out from behind the screen, bowed to the guests watching the ceremony, and then knelt on the table, Yingniang helped her comb her hair with her hands cleaned.
Yu Niang presented the ropa and ebony hairpin. Niang Yan walked to A Yao and chanted a loud congratulations: "Let the auspicious day of the month be added to the Yuan Dynasty. Abandon your young ambitions, and you will be able to achieve virtue. You will be able to have a long life and have a good life. You will be able to have a good life and be able to bring good fortune."
She picked up A Yao's hair and combed it, and inserted the first ebony hairpin.
The whole process was only the musician's music and the greetings of Mrs. Yan. Li Rou showed her longing and envious affection. Pei Shuo's eyes remained on the ebony hairpin on A Yao's head. Her heart was turbulent, and big beads fell like jade plates. It made ripples, and her heart beat faster.
He wanted to tell Uncle Fu, and to Yao Cuishengxiang, and even wanted to tell A Yao that he had the ebony hairpin on her head. He asked the master who made the jewelry, and personally drew the pattern, polished the wood, polished it, and then found Wangyue to soften the foam and made a vow, so that Wangyue promised to use the hairpin he made at A Yao's and the hairpin.
Yingniang helped A Yao straighten her hairpin in a symbolic manner. Niang Yan sang together. A Yao got up to salute the guests. Pei Shuo also bowed to A Yao, just like two people bowing each other.
