Chapter 918 (1/2)
This night, just after dinner, Nangong Yue went to the Wanqing courtyard to make up Nangong Cheng. This was the last chance for Nangong and her sisters to talk about themselves before they got married.
After sitting down with Nangong Cheng, Nangong Yue took a red sandalwood box from Lily's hand and handed it to her. She said, ”elder sister, you are going to be out of the cabinet tomorrow. This is just a little bit of the younger sister's heart to make up for the big sister.”
Nangong Cheng takes it and opens it. What she sees in the box is a set of ruby face. The jewelry is exquisite in workmanship, and the ruby is as bright as blood and hot as fire. At first glance, it is the first-class ”pigeon blood red”. This set of headdress is afraid to be
Nangong Cheng immediately closed the box, pushed it back, and said, ”the third sister is too expensive I can't take it! ”
According to the Convention, the sisters who haven't been out of the cabinet are usually given some sachets, coils and other things. At most, they are hairpins and bead flowers. If you want to, you can do it. Although Nangong Yue has a lot of good things in her hand, this set of ruby head is nothing to her. I'm afraid that her marriage seems to be a little aggrieved, but it's still too expensive, and she doesn't feel aggrieved
Nangong Cheng's dowry is not small. Although Su's and Zhao's dissatisfaction with this marriage is also reflected in their dowry, even so, Nangong Cheng is after all the legitimate eldest daughter of Nangong family. According to the share rule, Guanggong Zhong needs to pay 10000 Liang silver to buy her dowry. In addition, Nangong Qin and Nangong Sheng secretly subsidized Nangong Cheng in order to make up for Nangong Cheng.
Nangong Yue is the younger sister who lives in a separate room, but Nangong Cheng can't accept such a valuable gift.
Naturally, Nangong Yue saw Nangong Cheng's mind and said with a smile: ”elder sister, I heard the Western shopkeeper there say that Ruby represents a blessing. It has a magical power, which can turn evil into good luck, turn enemies into friends, and help people achieve what they want. This is my sister's blessing to my sister. Take it! ”
Nangong Cheng couldn't help but show her moving color. The value of this gift is not how precious it is, but what it represents.
After pondering for a moment, Nangong takes out a phoenix hairpin made of gold thread. The ruby in the mouth of the Phoenix is shining in the candle light. Nangong Cheng said with a smile, ”three sisters, I'll take your blessing!” It's written down too!
Seeing this, Nangong Yue is no longer reluctant. After all, what Nangong Cheng needs most is not these valuable things
”Big sister, my other gift is also very precious, but you won't refuse it.” She stopped deliberately and said with a smile, ”my grandfather has worked out a set of massage techniques these days after he looked at Pei Shizi last time. My grandfather said that as long as he insisted on it for a long time, it would be effective. A few days later, when I went to visit my elder sister in Jian'an Bo's house, she picked a careful person and I taught him this massage technique. ”
”Third sister, please thank grandfather Lin for me.” Nangong Cheng was so excited that tears flashed in her eyes. Of course, she understood that Nangong Yue wanted to support herself, so that the people in Jian'an mansion could not underestimate themselves, so she was so troubled
Nangong Cheng tried to stabilize her mood and asked with tears in her smile, ”sister three, can you teach me this massage technique?”
Nangong Yue was stunned and nodded with a smile. He patiently taught Nangong Cheng the massage techniques and key points. He said, ”my grandfather added some herbs to the prescription I gave Shizi last time. I made some new ones yesterday.” Then she asked Lily to pass the white porcelain bottle containing the ointment and taught her how to use it.
The night is getting deeper. According to the truth, Nangong Yue should leave, but
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed a touch of complexity, and he wanted to stop talking.
Nangong Cheng naturally saw it and said, ”third sister, you and I sisters, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Nangong Yue finally made up her mind. She took Nangong Cheng's hand and said cautiously, ”big sister, maybe I shouldn't say this at this time, but I want to remind you that maybe my brother-in-law is optimistic now, but the pain will torture one's will. It will be a hard work to get along with people who have been lying in hospital for a long time. You must be psychologically aware Prepare. ”
Nangong Cheng understood that this was Nangong Yue's good intentions. She nodded and said, ”three sisters, I know.”
”But don't be too pessimistic.” Nangong Yue then changed his tone, and his expression became clear. ”My grandfather also said that it is not impossible for the son of God to stand up again. Although he has only 30% hope, he may not be able to open the clouds and sunrise! My grandfather once said that the patient's mentality is extremely important. If he even gave up, even the immortal Dara could not save him. ”
”Third sister, I will never give up!” Nangong Cheng said firmly, her eyes fell on the ruby Phoenix hairpin that Nangong Yue gave her. In the future, she will use the hairpin as a reminder to remind her not to forget her original intention!
In this life, she will go down with PEI Yuanchen.
Nangong Yue laughed, and some words could be reached, so she did not say any more and got up to leave.
This night was Nangong Cheng's last night in Nangong mansion. She thought she would be sleepless, but she didn't want to sleep peacefully.Before dawn, the fragrance of books and ink wakes her up and serves her to wash.
After a while, Lin and Liu Qingqing accompanied Mrs. Wang of Quanfu to come in, and Shuxiang gave Mrs. Wang a red envelope.
Mrs. Wang simply congratulated her, but did not dare to say more. Everyone knows that the Nangong girl's son Jian'an, who is going to marry, is paralyzed. The bride means all kinds of unwillingness in her heart. If she talks too much in celebration and touches the bride's sadness, she will not be able to do well!
Nangong Cheng sits quietly in front of the dressing table. Mrs. Wang helps her with her hair and hair, hairpin, scholarly and ink fragrance. Nangong Cheng changes into a big Hongxia, and Mrs. Wang goes forward to paint Nangong's eyebrows and eyes.
In a moment, she turned her makeup. Nangong Cheng was already beautiful. At the moment, under the bright and dazzling Phoenix canopy, she became more and more beautiful and moving. Mrs. Wang secretly felt sorry for her.
At this time, nangongyue, Nangong Yan and other sisters came to see Nangong Cheng in the Qingyuan and sent her to marry her.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing and praising: ”big sister is really beautiful today!”
Nangong Yan also followed with a praise, only Nangong Lin turned her lips and said in her heart: how beautiful it is, it's not married a paralytic. The future of her big sister is over!
After a few sisters chatted with each other with sincerity or falsehood or perfunctorily, a servant girl came and said, ”it's time for dinner.”
Lin took them to the banquet, leaving Nangong Cheng and her maid.
From time to time, Nangong Cheng looks out, hoping that the familiar figure will appear But when the banquet outside was over, the other party still didn't come.
The auspicious time was coming, and soon a little servant girl ran in a hurry and said that the wedding procession would arrive at Nangong mansion one street away.
Outside, ”crackling” to the sound of firecrackers, Liu Qingqing also anxiously came to see Nangong Cheng how prepared.
”The sedan chair is almost at the gate!” Another servant girl came to report the good news.
Nangong Cheng looked out of the house, looked a little gloomy, and asked, ”my mother, she still hasn't come?”
The auspicious time arrived, and she was going to get on the sedan chair. Unexpectedly, Zhao refused to come to see her
Nangong Cheng stood up and said, ”although she won't come, how can I say goodbye to her as a daughter?”
”No problem.” Liu Qingqing sighed in his heart, but accompanied Nangong Cheng to the Little Buddha Hall in Jinhua courtyard.
As soon as the woman outside the Buddhist temple sees Nangong Cheng, she goes forward to salute.
”The eldest girl wants to see the eldest lady.” The scholar came forward and gave a red envelope, ”please go in and pass it on.”
The woman bowed her head and bowed and accepted the red envelope. She said, ”I'm going to go now. Please wait a moment.”
The woman stepped into the small Buddha Hall, where the incense was lingering and the smoke was rising. Zhao was kneeling in front of a Buddha statue, twisting the beads in her hands and murmuring the Buddha in her mouth.
”Madame, I'd like to see you.” She said carefully.
”Let her go.” Zhao's even eyelids do not move a bit, the tone is cold and indifferent, ”say I don't have this daughter.” As long as Nangong Cheng insists on marrying Pei Yuanchen, Zhao is not angry. She broke her heart for this pair of children, even fell to the present situation, but no one led her feelings.
She did not dare to persuade her, so she went out and gently conveyed Zhao's idea that she did not want to see Nangong.
Mother is still blaming herself Nangong Cheng's body shook twice and her eyes were dim.
”Girl...” Shuxiang looks at Nangong Cheng anxiously.
