A layer of white powder, like white flour, and the red dots on the lips, perhaps to highlight the cherry-like mouth or something. Apart from the eyebrows, which are somewhat nice, the rest is unbearable to look at.
Of course, perhaps aesthetics differ across eras. It's not that her makeup is ugly, but rather that she lacks the ability to appreciate it.
After a long day of work, we finally got my aunt all made up beautifully, helped her put on her red wedding dress, jewelry, and a red veil, and now we're just waiting for the groom to come and pick her up.
Zhong Qingyi, dressed in bright red with a large red flower tied to her chest, rode a tall horse, followed by a band playing gongs and drums to welcome the bride.
The firecrackers crackled and popped incessantly, attracting a crowd of people from the surrounding area to watch the spectacle.
Ye Moxun was also in the wedding procession. Today he was wearing a dark red silk dress, his hair was combed up high, and he was wearing a jade crown, which made him look even more handsome and noble.
Zhong Qingyi was tall and imposing, completely blocking the young men who were coming to greet the bride. He couldn't help but smile broadly, his eyes gently watching as the bride was helped out of the gate by Song Tantan.
Watching her aunt get into the bridal sedan chair, Song Tantan felt she should say something. "Auntie, don't be nervous. I will always be your strong support. If Uncle dares to bully you, just tell me, and I will teach him a lesson for you."
"Okay, I understand," Song Zhuiyan replied softly.
What she was really thinking was, "I don't need you. Zhong Qingyi wouldn't dare to bully me. If he did, I'd drag him into my spatial dimension, pin him down, and beat him until he's scared."
While others are heartbroken and reluctant to part when they get married, Song Zhuiyan doesn't feel that way. She's not a real ancient person; marriage should be a joyous occasion. She's finally married off, so why should she cry?
Song Tantan was also very emotional, her aunt had finally found her happiness, and she hoped that she would always be happy in the future.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, then they are led to the bridal chamber." After the wedding ceremony, the marriage is considered complete.
Song Tantan didn't know what it was like for other people to get married, but she came to Zhong Qingyi's house with her aunt and went into the new room with her, talking and eating with her.
Otherwise, it would be so boring. It's so uncomfortable to just sit there like that. Modern women are much freer. The bride can go out with the groom to toast the guests.
In ancient times, brides could only wait in their rooms all day until the groom was completely drunk and returned to the bridal chamber in the middle of the night. Whether they could even consummate the marriage was uncertain, and he might even vomit all over the bed, leaving the bride to take care of him.
"What are you thinking? How stupid would you be to drink yourself into a stupor like that? Besides, only rich people can afford to drink like that. Poor people don't have that much money to buy alcohol." Song Zhuiyan tapped her niece's forehead, amused and annoyed.
This girl is becoming increasingly unruly; there's nothing she wouldn't dare say in front of her.
In the late afternoon, Zhong Qingyi came over with some food and drinks. She exchanged a few unimportant words with Song Tantan, gazing at Song Zhuiyan affectionately for a while before leaving.
Later, Ye Moxun knocked on the door and brought over a lot of food, but he left without saying much, as it wasn't appropriate for a grown man to stay there for too long.
Song Tantan found it novel. There was no shortage of food in the supermarket, so why would Ye Moxun send food over? It was one thing for his aunt's husband to send food, but it was normal for him to sneak over to say a few words and take a few glances while thinking about his bride.
Could it be that Ye Moxun wanted to come see her? But today isn't their wedding day, and besides, they've already met before.
She was right. Ye Moxun had come to see her. He thought that Song Tantan only had this one relative in the world, and she was getting married today. He was sure she would be sad, and he wondered if she was hiding in the bridal chamber crying with her aunt.
However, he was clearly overthinking it. Song Tantan not only didn't cry, but she was also happily eating in the new house. You could hear her chattering away from the doorway.
They really are heartless.
Song Tantan went out to eat with guests for dinner and did not return to the bridal chamber afterwards. The wedding night was too short for her to disturb them, and since she and Ye Moxun were sitting far away outside the bridal chamber, no one dared to come and make a ruckus.
The custom of "teasing the newlyweds" is not found in every place. Song Tantan is from the south, where there is no such custom, and she doesn't have a good impression of this activity.
Perhaps I read too many news articles online in my past life, all about wedding night pranks going too far, with the best man tearing the bridesmaid's dress and all sorts of impolite behavior.
Even more outrageous are the practices of tying the groom to a tree and beating the bride and groom. I don't know if the reports are true or not, but this kind of vulgarity is not encouraged and is disgusting.
The guests had all left, and everyone else had obediently gone back to their rooms to sleep. The candlelight in the bridal chamber had dimmed a bit, and Song Tantan yawned and stretched.
"I'm going back to sleep. You should go to sleep early too." After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room.
The next day, the newlyweds got up a little late. Song Tantan and Ye Moxun ate breakfast first. Before they could get there, Azhu, Chunsheng, Xiaotao and their group had already returned to their original residence.
This is Zhong Qingyi's private residence. From now on, she and her husband will live here, as will Song Tantan and Ye Moxun. They used to live with the other residents of Songlin Village, but they won't anymore.
Before her marriage, Song Zhuiyan always dressed in men's clothing and wore her hair in a bun. From the day she decided to get married, she learned how to comb hair, focusing on how to comb women's sideburns.
Unless there are special circumstances, she will never dress as a man again. She's married now, what would people think of her if she dressed like a man?
She didn't care, but she couldn't ignore her husband's feelings. She would be heartbroken if Zhong Qingyi became a laughing stock.
After getting married, Zhong Qingyi was radiant and full of energy every day. He and Song Zhuiyan were inseparable and he wished he could stick to his wife's side every day and never go out. Of course, this was unrealistic. No matter how reluctant he was, he still had to go out to take care of business.
However, the task of going to the capital to help Liu Chengyu was handed over to Bai Pingfeng. Bai Pingfeng was young and ambitious and wanted to make a name for himself. Although he was eighteen years old this year, he was not in a hurry to get married.
He decided to wait until the barbarians were driven away and the world was at peace before discussing his personal marriage. He would never get married until the Great Jin Dynasty was restored to peace.
However, his younger sister got engaged before the new year to the younger brother of one of his lieutenants. The lieutenant's brother is a scholar who is nineteen years old this year and is very handsome.
If it weren't for years of war and poverty, we wouldn't have been delayed until now. Now we only hope that the world will be at peace soon and that the imperial court can resume the imperial examinations as soon as possible.
Ye Moxun figured that Liu Chengyu could hold out for a while longer, so he didn't let Bai Pingfeng set off too quickly. Instead, he waited until Liu Chengyu was so anxious that he got blisters on his lips and sent three letters in a row to urge him to leave before he finally let Bai Pingfeng lead 50,000 troops to the capital.
Before leaving, Bai Pingfeng brought a few people to see Zhong Qingyi and Ye Moxun. Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan were also present. When Song Tantan saw the people who came, she thought, "What a load of rubbish! This is so damn ridiculous!"
Unexpectedly, the group of people performing that day turned out to be the relatives that Bai Pingfeng had been searching for for several years. The old man was his great-uncle, the two little girls were his cousins, and the two boys were his cousins.
They're still within the fifth degree of kinship, so they're quite close.
