Fragrance Returned

The servants poured the tea and everyone withdrew.

Zhang blushed and stuffed the book under her pillow, "Let's take a look after mother leaves. Don't be afraid. Just listen to your son-in-law tomorrow night."

Xunxiang lowered her head, pretending to be shy.

Mrs. Zhang put Xunxiang into her arms again, "It is said that when a girl becomes an official, your parents can do whatever you want at home, but when you go to your husband's house, you can't be willful. Although your parents-in-law have a good temper, and your son-in-law is your childhood sweetheart, they are your daughter-in-law. Still be gentle.

"The Marquis of Zhenhai is an aristocratic family with many people and many rules. You should be careful when speaking and doing things..."

Mrs. Zhang kept mumbling a lot. I have said these words many times before, and I repeated them again and again today. I am always afraid that I will miss something, and I can't help but burst into tears.

Xunxiang leaned into her arms. When she said something, Xunxiang nodded, "Mom, I understand."

Grandma Wang came over to persuade her, "Mrs. Ding, it's the end of Xu Shi, and the princess needs to rest early today."

Zhang had no choice but to get up.

Xun Xiang wanted to see her off, but Mrs. Zhang shook her head, glanced at the pillow, patted Xun Xiang's hand, and left.

After Xunxiang washed up, she sat on the bed, sent her servants off, and took out the book from under the pillow to read.

The book is full of goblins fighting.

Even though Xunxiang was mentally prepared, she, who had been pure and innocent for two lifetimes, still couldn't bear it, and her heart was pounding.

The person in the painting would call it freehand, it's quite realistic, even everything is painted clearly. To be honest, the body proportions are seriously inconsistent with real people, and there is no sense of beauty...

Xunxiang felt that the people who painted these erotic pictures must be painters with poor painting skills who could not earn a living from other paintings.

Although she was disgusted, Xunxiang still studied from the first page to the last page due to curiosity. We also analyze how to draw more beautifully from a professional perspective.

She imagined that the two goblins were replaced by Sun Yumu and herself, and her face became very hot...

The incense burner was lit with soothing incense. Xun Xiang fell into a deep sleep, and was woken up by Aunt Wei at the beginning of Mao Shichu.

"Princess, get up."

Xunxiang muttered habitually, "Mommy, let me sleep a little longer."

Aunt Wei laughed and said, "Today is a good day for the princess, so you have to get up early and take a bath."

Xun Xiang's eyes suddenly bulged and she sat up.

She is getting married today.

Sister-in-law Tang served Xunxiang and bathed.

Sister-in-law Tang is Ling'er. She and shopkeeper Tang will go to Zhenhaihou Mansion as companions.

The tub was filled with flower petals and rose scented water.

After bathing, I put on my red damask blouse and trousers. The bedroom was already full of joy. The quilt was changed to bright red, colorful damask lanterns were hung from the ceiling, and an extra-large red heart-linking knot was hung on the wall.

Silk'er brought a bowl of glutinous rice balls, only four of them.

Aunt Wei said, "Princess, please bear with me and eat these glutinous rice balls. I will eat two small snacks at noon, and then I will have to wait until dinner."

Fearing that it would be inappropriate to go to the wedding room temporarily, every bride does this.

Xunxiang sat cross-legged on the bed with her hair disheveled, and Mrs. Zhang and Li Qianqian came.

Mrs. Zhang comforted Xunxiang for a few words and then went to the flower hall, where Dongyang and her were entertaining guests today.

Li Qianqian clicked her tongue as she looked at the dowry crowding the yard, "Oh my god, I thought my dowry was too much. Xiangxiang has more than ten times more than me. The actual dowry is even more than what is on the list..."

Grandma Wang has always disliked Li Qianqian's outspokenness, and was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't say again.

He hurriedly interrupted her and said with a smile, "Princess, Feifei, Shuangshuang, and Heiwa are all dressed up and tight, and they are standing on the porch waiting to set off."

The three of them will sit in the carriage and go to Zhenhaihou Mansion with the dowry, along with the dowry companion, maid, and mother-in-law.

With Jin'er comforting her and walking at the end, she won't be scared away by the sound of gongs and drums.

The smart Feifei and Heiwa probably knew what was going on, but their eyes were full of confusion. But it does what Feifei does.

At Chen time, the dowry began to be carried out.

The first one is a reward from the emperor, the second one is a reward from the queen...

The dowry is not only rich, but also full of glory.

At the end of the morning, Xi Niang, wearing heavy makeup and bright red, came to Ziyuan. Not long after, Grandma Xun came again accompanied by Mrs. Quanfu.

The woman's wife, Mrs. Quanfu, is Lord Fang's wife. She has two children, her parents-in-law are still alive, and she is very lucky and wealthy.

There were more people in the Purple Courtyard, and the hall, side rooms, and bedrooms were all full of people.

Xun Yibo and Ding Liren stood at the door of the side room with a young man, and motioned others to be silent.

It was the crown prince in casual clothes.

He looked at his niece in red with a smile.

This was the first time he saw a married woman, and he found it very interesting.

Xun Yibo and Ding Liren were also very happy. Originally they couldn't see their sister, but because they had to accompany the prince, they saw it.

Mrs. Fang first "pretended" the bride and sang auspicious words loudly:

One string brings happiness, two strings bring blessing, and the third string brings bride as beautiful as jade...

Colorful threads flew across her face, causing Xun Xiang's tears to well up in her eyes. Others saw her eyes brimming with tears.

Everyone praised the bride for her beauty:

"Ouch, she is beautiful to begin with, but when she opens her face, she looks like a boiled egg with its shell removed..."

After that, it’s time to comb your hair, which must be done from the top of the head to the ends. Mrs. Fang sang:

Once you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about wealth.

If you comb your hair with two combs, you will be free from disease and worry.

If you comb your hair three times, you will have more children and a longer life.

…

We will always be together and we will be rich and noble together in this life.

After Mrs. Fang finished her work, Grandma Xun quickly stuffed a big red envelope into her hand.

Gao Guang saw that it was hard to continue reading here, so he went to the outer courtyard with Xun Yibo and Ding Liren.

After that, Xi Niang put on Xun Xiang’s bridal makeup.

Xun Xiang had asked the bridesmaid to come over a few days ago and teach her how to put on makeup.

The bridesmaid still felt a little guilty and asked again, "Will the old woman put on makeup according to what the princess said?"

She was disassociating herself from the matter. If others felt it was abrupt, it had nothing to do with her.

Xun Xiang said, "Yes."

The makeup added modern elements and blended with the characteristics of this era, and it was still rich and gorgeous.

The eyebrows were very flat, but not like the two black sticks before, and the tails were a little curved. The lips were small, but not like a real cherry before, and the lip line was very beautiful. The blush was not like the two round red balls before, with deep and shallow layers, much more natural...

Once the makeup was done, it was like a gorgeous peony bathed in the morning light.

If others put on makeup like this, many people would not accept it, thinking that bridal makeup was not like this. But this person was the most talented and aesthetically pleasing Princess Xiangxiang. People accepted it first, then appreciated it carefully, and truly saw the beauty of this makeup.

Everyone exclaimed:

"The bride is so beautiful!"

"So beautiful!"

"Let my sister paint like this in the future."

"Mom, my sister will also invite this matchmaker when she gets married."

...

After combing her hair, she put on jewelry and a phoenix crown.

Then she put on the wedding gown and red embroidered shoes, and the bride's makeup was complete.

It was noon, and Grandma Xun invited the guests to the flower hall for a wedding banquet.

The room suddenly became quiet, leaving only Mi Honglan and Ren Zixuan, the two future sisters-in-law, to accompany Xun Xiang. They each ate a bowl of sweet soup and a few snacks.

Xun Xiang only ate two small snacks.

Xun Xiang was not convinced, "How can this be, the groom can eat whatever he wants, but the bride can't?"

Thinking of the previous life, the bride and the groom sat at the table together, eating meat with big mouthfuls, holding wine glasses and toasting all over the place...

Mi Honglan laughed, "It's so embarrassing to be respectful in front of everyone."

Xun Xiang pouted, "Isn't the groom afraid of going to the respectful room?"

The two little girls giggled and didn't know how to respond.

Ren Zixuan smiled and said, "Xiangxiang, bear with it, the day will pass quickly." She looked at Xun Xiang's makeup and said, "This makeup is so beautiful, Miss Mi, do it this time."

Mi Honglan blushed, "You're talking about me, you too."

After the wedding banquet, the elders and guests came to Ziyuan.

On the left side of the upper seat sat Princess Dongyang and Xun's husband, and on the right side of the upper seat sat Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Zhang.

Not only did the royal family and clan relatives come, but almost half of the heads and wives of the noble families also came.

The other half went to the Zhenhai Marquis' Mansion.

Eunuch Qin and Eunuch An also came. They were sent by the emperor and the queen to watch the ceremony.

There were not enough seats in the main room, so some people were arranged to sit in the east and west wings.

Xun Xiang vaguely heard someone comforting Grandpa Ding Zhuang.

Dong Youcheng ran in and said, "Aunt, the old ancestor really cried, his eyes are red."

Mi Honglan said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

Dong Youcheng pouted and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm going to the front yard to grab the red envelope."

He ran away.

It's not good for the brother to make things too difficult for the groom. Xun Yizhi, Gao Ping, Qian Ge'er and other cousins ​​and nephews stayed in the outer courtyard, preparing to ask the groom for red envelopes.

At noon, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums came from the front yard.

Many people shouted "the groom is coming" and ran to the yard to watch the excitement.

The bride smiled and put the red veil on Xun Xiang's head.

Xun Xiang's eyes immediately turned red.

After living for two lifetimes, today she is finally going to marry herself, and she is marrying the only man she wants to marry.

The exquisite faces of Sun Yumu appeared in the red light, and Xun Xiang's heart was filled with sweetness.

But when she thought of the relatives of the Ding family, she was very reluctant to leave.

Ancient times were not like modern times. In ancient times, when a girl got married, she belonged to another family...

The sound of gongs and drums and stringed instruments approached.

People shouted, "Here he comes, the groom is here."

Sun Yumu, dressed in red, came to the bedroom accompanied by Sun Yuhao and General Yang.

The groom, with a red coat and red hat, was even more handsome and beautiful.

Many people were thinking, no wonder those princesses, county ladies and many girls fought over him, such a talent could only be compared to Xun Fuma twenty years ago.

Unexpectedly, Xun Xiang, who grew up in the countryside, got him.

The people in the room made way, and Sun Yumu slowly walked to Xun Xiang.

Xun Xiang wore a gold-embroidered wedding dress with phoenix and peony patterns, covered with a red veil, and her head was lowered, and Sun Yumu smiled even more.

After thinking about it for so many years, today he finally got to marry her home.

"Xiangxiang, I'm here to pick you up."

The voice was drowned in the teasing and blessings.

The bridesmaid helped Xun Xiang up and followed Sun Yumu to the hall.

The two knelt on the futon and kowtowed to Dongyang, Xun Fu Ma, Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Zhang in turn.

Xun Fu Ma looked at Ding Zhuang, whose nose and eyes were red, and said, "Old uncle, please say a few words."

Ding Zhuang pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, and shook his head.

Xun Fu Ma looked at Xun Xiang and said, "My daughter, we haven't raised her enough, and she is going to marry again. Son-in-law, Xiangxiang is the treasure of our two families, you can't let her suffer."

His voice was not cold at all, but full of affection.

He thought of many things to say, but at this time he only wanted to say these two sentences.

Xun Xiang choked up and said, "Daddy..."

Dong Yang said again, "Son-in-law, you have seen how good my Xiangxiang is. You must treat her well and cherish her."

"Mom..."

Ding Zhaoxian wanted to say a few more sentimental words, but after the previous two words, he was afraid that if he said more, people would think Xiangxiang was spoiled, which would be bad for Xiangxiang.

I had to change my words temporarily, "When you go to your husband's house, you must observe etiquette, serve your husband, respect your parents-in-law, and be a good daughter-in-law."

"Yes, my daughter remembers it."

Mrs. Zhang was speechless with tears in her eyes.

Sun Yumu kowtowed and said, "My son-in-law will remember the instructions of my father-in-law and mother-in-law and will cherish Xiangxiang and make her happy."

Just as Xi Niang was about to help Xun Xiang up, Ding Zhuang's voice rang out, "Granddaughter, you have to be well in the Sun family. I am thinking about you... Grandson-in-law, we have given Xiang Xiang to you. How dare you let her be wronged? I, Ding Hong Nose, won’t agree.”

After talking about it, I sniffed my red nose and shed tears.

Xun Xiang held back her tears and said, "Grandpa."

Sun Yumu kowtowed again and said, "Grandpa, please rest assured that I will always cherish Xiangxiang and cherish it."

The two kowtowed to their elders again and stood up.

Ding Lichun came over and said, "Sister, my eldest brother will carry you to the sedan chair."

Xunxiang lay on his back.

The sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo is getting farther and farther away.

Ding Zhuang covered his face with his sleeves and cried. Ding Zhao, Prince Consort Xun, and Mrs. Zhang all felt uncomfortable when he was like this.

Dongyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and advised, "Marrying a daughter is a happy event, every girl has this day..."

The people present were secretly amused. Ding Zhuang was different from ordinary people, so he also brought these people into the ditch.

A married woman is a daughter crying for marriage, and the elders of this family are crying for marriage...

Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "We have finished observing the ceremony. Let's go back and report to Your Majesty and the Queen."

Eunuch An smiled and consoled him again, "Don't be sad, old man. General Sun is Mr. Yu, and he will definitely treat the princess well..."

If he dares to do anything wrong, the emperor and queen will not agree.

I didn't dare to say the last sentence.

Gaoguang goes with them.

Xun Yibo and Ding Liren personally sent the three people to the front yard.

Xunxiang sat in a sedan chair, holding an apple in her hand, and played and played all the way to the Zhenhai Hou Mansion.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Xunxiang was helped out of the sedan by Xi Niang, stepped over the saddle and brazier, and was led to the hall by Sun Yumu holding the red silk.

After worshiping heaven and earth, Sun Yumu took Xunxiang to Zixia Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xunxiang heard a familiar voice, "The bride is here."

This is Qiu Yuhan. Several members of the Qiu family came to Zhenhai Hou Mansion for a wedding banquet today.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Quanfu, the bride and groom completed a series of procedures such as uncovering their heads, spreading tents, drinking Hexin wine, eating raw dumplings, and bunking their buns.

People say auspicious words:

"Ouch, what a pair of beauties."

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

"The most compatible men and women in the Li Dynasty are this pair."

…

Xun Xiang knew many people in the room, and he actually saw Sun Linfeng's wife Zhao, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Xunxiang was a little nervous, and because there were so many people in the room, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

The rich powder aroma is mixed with a distinctive fragrance, which can be smelled by everyone who is close to Xunxiang.

Is this the body fragrance of the legendary Princess Xiangxiang? It really smells better than honey balm, agarwood, and ambergris...

The aroma also intoxicated Sun Yumu.

Sun Yuhao reminded Sun Yumu, who was still sitting next to Xunxiang, "Are you so happy? It's time to go out and entertain the guests."
