Chapter 337
The second miss’s sentence was full of hidden meanings but her hints was very obvious, the third young miss didn’t give Old Madam a face and wanted to use Cui momo to tell Old Madam Qin the second miss’s grievances.
“Third young miss said that she will come to pay respect to Old Madam in a few days, so I won’t bother second miss anymore.”
Cui momo put on a fake smile and continued, “Second Miss should wipe your tears, Old Madam said that it’s not good to cry on this happy day, it’s unlucky.”
With that said, Cui momo casually gives her blessing before she left without looking at Qin Xin.
Even a lowly servant dares to humiliate her! Qin Xin tightly clenched her handkerchief; her face was very ugly.
“Miss,” Shuxiang hurriedly came in from outside and said, “Momo said that the auspicious time is coming.”
Qin Xin sat blankly at the deserted boudoir, with no bridesmaid, no phoenix crown cape, not to mention the red veil. And the second prince would not come to welcome her, his bride, what was waiting for her was only a small sedan chair that would be quietly carried into the second prince’s mansion.
This was very different from the grand wedding she had imagined.
The two zongrenfu* sent by the imperial family had eyes almost growing on top of her head. She had originally intended to have Qin Jiu give her face and suppress the two zongrenfu’s arrogance but she didn’t expect Qin Jiu to be this disrespectful!
(*someone who manages the affairs of the royal family)
The more Qin Xin thought about it, the angrier she became, making the white handkerchief in her hand twist into a ball.
“Miss, you’d better change into your clothes first.” Shuxiang looked at her carefully and advised.
Being a concubine, certainly, there was no such thing as a red wedding dress, instead placed on the hanger was a set of pink dress embroidered with large peony flowers.
Originally, Qin Xin prepared a set of silver-red wedding dresses for herself, the material was from the Baoxiu Shop in the south of Jiangnan, this was rare as there were no more than a hundred pieces per year produced, and worth more than one hundred taels of silver. She made this wedding dress with her own two hands, she was the one who also embroidered it, stitch by stitch, and when she tried it on, it was beautiful and dazzling.
However, after seeing it, one of the zongrenfu immediately said that it was not possible, saying that silver red was too close to red wedding dresses. Qin Xin, as a concubine, couldn’t wear it and had no choice but to change it.
Of course, she refused to agree but who would have thought that after the two zongrenfu said ‘no’ they wanted to leave just like that. So, without saying a word, Madam Su cut her silver-red dress and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and found a pink dress. Only then did the two zongrenfu were satisfied.
Qin Xin was now looking at this outdated pink dress, and wishes to tear it apart.
But no matter what, Qin Xin did not want to miss the auspicious time, so she reluctantly changed into this pink dress with the help of her maidservants, and then let them do her makeup.
With her skin like snow, lips like vermilion, and her dress more beautiful than usual, Qin Xin looked stunning but her eyes were dull like a flower that has just bloomed and was about to wither in advance.
She then sat into a small pink sedan chair that would carry her out from the back of the Marquis mansion, on the way, no gongs and drums were beaten, and was just carried to the Second Prince’s Mansion in such a deserted manner and entered through the back door.
According to Daqi’s rules, marry a wife during the day and get a concubine at night.
At this moment, the sky had already darkened as layers of dark and gloomy clouds were piled up. The gray sky seemed to indicate something, emitting an ominous aura.
“Rumble, Rumble…”
The ear-splitting sound of thunder was far and near.
In a short while, bean-sized raindrops crackled down and poured like a curtain.
Meanwhile, in the Qin Mansion, Qin Jiu who was sitting by the window, stared blankly at the heavy rain outside, her eyes flickering.
She remembers in the novel; it took a whole chapter of ten thousand words to describe the marriage of the hero and the heroine. The second prince came to the Marquis’s Mansion to welcome his bride personally, playing gongs and drums, and the common people walked in the street celebrating with them. It could be said that it was the grandest wedding of the Qi Dynasty in nearly a hundred years.
But now, who could have imagined that the heroine was dreary carried into the second prince’s mansion.
Qin Jiu casually tapped the ruler on her palm as the corner of her mouth curled up. En, she was happy when Qin Xin was unhappy!
At this time, on the other side, Qin Zeyu was standing in front of the table writing big characters with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.
He finally finished writing a piece and was about to play tricks on his sister when he heard a loud sound from a ruler that entered his ears, and couldn’t help but shivered.
He was afraid that the ruler would hit him, so he hurriedly stood with his head up and continued to struggle with the pen in his hand, not daring to slacken off again.
Ai, he would rather stand two hours of horse stance, than to write ah!
Unfortunately for him, his sister was too fierce and would just beat him wantonly, especially after third brother Gu left, no one would definitely come to help him.
Qin Zeyu missed Gu Zezhi very much and wondered if he would write a letter to ask him when he would return back to the capital.
But the more he thought about it, the less optimistic he felt. The journey to Minzhou was long and it would take a lot of time to travel back and forth, which also means he would not be back until at least on the sixth or seventh month of the year. Ai, his hard days were going to be long!
