Three Hundred and Forty-Three: 10 Miles of Red Makeup (16)
Now she is just a little concubine. If she goes against the Liu Mansion, her future husband Wu Majun, who is a little more powerful, may not treat her well... Thinking of Huijun, who has a beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and the fragrant fragrance lingering around her, her noble and charming temperament, even if she is a woman, she can't help but be moved when she thinks of it, let alone her future husband.
Thinking of Jiang Pengji's comment that Wu Majun "would rather not eat meat for three days than be without a woman for a day", she felt sad and jealous.
"Hmph, let's wait and see!"
The concubine endured the grievance and returned to her yard. She saw her mother with a silent face at a glance and was immediately furious.
"Get lost! You useless thing!"
The concubine kicked away the "birth mother" who was cleaning the dowry. She was not young, but she was very strong. She kicked her in the heart and killed her. The maids around dared not speak, and lowered their heads, fearing that they would anger this concubine with a sinister and unpredictable temperament.
The Liu family was very strict in family management, and the servants in the backyard did not dare to abuse the husband and wife, but the concubine felt that she was neglected and was very disgusted with the maids serving around her. Since the decree that she would marry into the royal family came down, her neck had stretched several times.
The kicked woman stood up, holding her chest, and looked at this nominal "daughter" with an inexplicable look.
"If you didn't fight for favor, my position in the mansion wouldn't be so embarrassing."
Even if she was going to marry into the royal family, her brother who was usually high and mighty was still indifferent to her, like a stranger.
The woman coughed and left with her head down.
She didn't want to face this "daughter" anymore.
As expected of a bastard, even though he had lived in the Liu Mansion for many years, he still had the lowliness in his blood.
The "birth mother"'s disregard for people's reactions further angered the concubine's hatred.
She broke her nails, slowly put away the viciousness on her face, and sat in front of the dressing mirror as if nothing had happened.
Today was the first day of the wedding, and as a new bride, she couldn't get angry frequently.
She carefully combed her makeup and put on the most beautiful makeup, and her young face was piled up with some charm.
She asked the maid to imitate Huijun's makeup, and it was really amazing.
However,
her personal maid was puzzled.
Why did her second lady look vaguely similar to the dowry lady Huijun?
Especially after putting on the same heavy makeup, at first glance, it seemed like two models, one big and one small.
However, Huijun's appearance, temperament, body odor, temper, means... all of these completely crush the second lady. When these two are put together, one seems to be a perfect product that is ingenious and has exhausted all the Creator's favorites, while the other is a poor imitation.
If Huijun's age was not wrong, and she had been with the second lady for many years, she would probably have suspected that the bride was replaced by someone else. While thinking, he put on makeup for the concubine's daughter, and then helped her put on a brand new and luxurious bright red dress.
The style of the dress is similar to the wedding dress, which is considered as the daily dress in the wedding.
You have to know that Hejian County and Shangjing are not a short distance away, and the bride can't always wear the same wedding dress without changing.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the wedding team is ready to go.
Jiang Pengji, dressed in festive brocade and gorgeous clothes, carried the concubine's sister out of the mansion as a legitimate brother and sent her into the gorgeous wedding car.
He looked up at the sky and the time was just right.
She immediately stepped on Dabai's horse, walked at the front of the team, and shouted, "The auspicious time has come, let's set off!"
Jiang Pengji led the way in front, and the newly decorated, festive and majestic Dabai walked with its head held high, and the other horses and old cows fell silent.
In the corner, Xu Ke couldn't help but nag at Xunmei until the team set off.
"My husband, just follow me. I will take care of everything at home." Xunmei saw that time was running out, so she quickly interrupted Xu Ke's words. While the crowd was not paying attention, she held his face and said to her, "Take care."
Xu Ke was confused, and finally forgot how he got on the carriage.
Mo Mo raised his hand to stroke his cheek, thinking that his newlywed wife was so bold in public, he couldn't help but spit with a red face.
"It's really nonsense!"
I feel like I married a fake virtuous wife. Where is the shyness and embarrassment I promised?
The wedding procession was a luxurious one. In addition to the guards assigned by the Liu Mansion, there were also 5,000 armored and majestic guards.
The guards were naturally assigned by the court to ensure the safety of the future consort of the fourth prince.
According to custom, the bride who married far away had to ride in the wedding car around the inner city, and at the same time, she had to show the strong strength of her family.
When the wedding procession just went around the inner city and walked out of the city gate, the porter at the end of the team just picked up the dowry.
Although there was no festive music, the atmosphere on the scene was not silent. The people on both sides of the street were shoulder to shoulder, and they wanted to stretch their heads to see the ten miles of red makeup. When they saw the dowry drying, they had a better understanding of the Liu Mansion.
"This dowry... Could it be that the warehouse of the second room of the Liu Mansion was emptied?"
A citizen asked curiously, and someone beside him immediately answered.
"Empty it... I don't think so. Don't you know that bamboo paper, which is more valuable than gold, is produced by the workshop under the name of the second branch of the Liu Mansion? Although the annual output is scarce, this alone is enough for the second branch of the Liu Mansion to live off their wealth."
"Pah!" A fat and strong woman spitted heavily, "Who in Hejian doesn't know about the paper mill? It's the property of the former wife of the second branch of Liu's house? She is a concubine who climbed up the ladder, and she wants to covet the property of the original wife?"
Everyone was speechless after hearing this.
"This, this... If the second branch of Liu's house didn't touch the former wife's property, how could they get so much dowry?"
When this question came out, many people were silent.
"I heard from my own women that the life of the first branch of Liu's house is not bad, but the other branches are all stingy... Liuzhou Mu is so rich, but he doesn't think about helping his family, but gives a concubine so much face, which is incredible..."
"After all, she is a daughter who married into the royal family. Even if she is a concubine, she is her own flesh and blood. She must be treated preferentially..."
The crowd was talking, and these trivial discussions occasionally drifted into the ears of the concubine, and her expression froze.
Even if she is a concubine?
What's wrong with a concubine's daughter?
Is a concubine's daughter not the daughter of her father?
Why do legitimate sons and daughters have so many privileges, but she, a concubine's daughter, should be looked down upon by everyone?
She couldn't help biting her lower lip, with complex malice flashing in her eyes.
No, she must be the first to monopolize her husband's favor before Huijun.
Only by giving birth to a royal grandson can she truly gain a firm foothold, and no one can look down on him!
Elsewhere, the carriage that the dowry lady sat in was much simpler.
Huijun wore a simple water-red dress, with a half-smile on her face. That posture seemed to be not sitting in a simple carriage, but in a magnificent palace. No one knew that her hand in her sleeve was holding a small bottle, which contained a golden pill.
Yiyan Pill.
This thing was not given to her by her husband, but was used to send the second lady of the Liu Mansion to "rise straight to the sky". Fried mushrooms said that she didn't know what medicine the doctor prescribed, it was so bitter, and she still felt uncomfortable now...
