Chapter 13 Red Hijab
(Thank you for the reward for carrying the pot, thank you! Please vote for recommendation!)
Li Xiao didn't like Wan Niang. Although Wan Niang was a little thin, it was not ugly. Moreover, it is said that marrying a wife and being a virtuous person is not to look good. As long as you live in general, it is better. The key is character, personality, and background. Only by taking a concubine can you value beauty. It is also called buying a concubine.
Everyone was still talking about the wedding chamber today, and from time to time someone came to congratulate him.
Li Xiao stood there, keeping a smile on his face, but it was very stiff. He knew that it was just a polite smile, but if he didn't smile at this time, he knew that any expression was inappropriate.
He didn't want that kind of forced relationship. In the past, he didn't like others to introduce him to blind dates. What he liked was the relationship he had found and met.
The person who didn't even want to go on a blind date was now set on the fire. He had to go to a bridal chamber with a girl he had only known for less than a day.
But he couldn't refuse, because the girl had been married to him for three years. He was just a bridal chamber tonight, not a marriage, because the wedding was held three years ago.
This was really an embarrassing situation. He even hoped that there would be a crack on the ground so that he could get in so that he could temporarily avoid this extremely embarrassment.
In fact, there is no way to escape. He can escape into space, and no one can find him, but this is not a way.
Smile.
hehe.
The muscles on his face were very stiff, but he had to continue to smile, so that people could not tell what he was unwilling to do.
Li Zhen brought a set of clothes and opened the bag, which was a red robe and the groom's clothes.
Red men and green women, the newlyweds of the Tang Dynasty got married, the men wore red, and the women wore green.
The groom's dress was a black mattress, a big red round-neck robe, a white mid-suit, and a pair of black boots.
The clothing level of the Tang Dynasty is very strict, and it is strictly forbidden to wear clothes randomly in all classes, especially the rules for color are stricter.
For example, bright yellow is the only one for the royal family. Zi and Fei are the colors of high-ranking officials. Even green and green are the colors of middle and lower-level officials, while small officials and yamen are wearing soap clothes.
As for ordinary people, they are usually white, gray, brown, etc.
Ordinary people like Li Xiao are not qualified to wear red in normal times, but they can wear red robes during weddings.
"Brother, this groom dress was sewn for you by Sister Wanniang three years ago. If you try it, it will definitely fit very well."
Without any refusal, Li Zhen shook her clothes and put them on Li Xiao, asking him to try it on on the spot.
Several women put sleeves on him and tied leather belts.
"Wow, it's so good. Just right, Sister Wan's female red craftsmanship is so good."
The women praised Wanniang for her good needlework skills, but Li Xiao felt that her body was getting stiffer and stiffer.
This is to drive a duck to put it on the shelves.
But he couldn't refuse, and there was no reason to refuse. What reason did he have to refuse? If he said that, he would probably be beaten to death by Old Man Zhao with a cane, and even his sister Li Zhen would help him beat him together.
Looking at the joy of Yang Dayan and Guo Biaozi, they definitely wouldn't stand on his side.
Kidnapping!
Although he does like Wan Niang quite well, this kind of liking is not that kind of liking. It is just appreciation, praise, and not love.
But he had no reason to refuse!
They can only say and push.
Taking the clothes, I went to the other room to take a shower.
I closed the door and placed a brazier in the house. A few firewoods were burning for lighting. This family is too poor. I can't afford to light candles when it gets dark. It's only rich families can use it, and I can't afford to light oil lamps. Headlamp oil is also very expensive these days.
The light is very dark.
There was a wooden barrel in the middle of the house, which was quite large and it looked like it was not a special bathtub.
The basin is already filled with water and the heat is rising.
In the middle of winter, it is not an easy thing to burn so much hot water. It is precisely because water is difficult to boil, so in winter, people rarely take baths.
Take a bath and have to carry water and burn fire, which costs water and firewood. Usually, everyone can’t eat enough, so there are so many things to pay attention to. Even if the weather is so cold, the body is a little dirty, and it can keep the cold warm. If you are not careful and get frozen in a bath, it is a trivial matter. If you don’t get it right, you may get pneumonia, which will cause life worries.
In some places, many people basically do not take a bath in winter. They pay more attention to it. They may take a bath during the Chinese New Year. If they do not pay attention to it, they will not take a bath after the hot next year.
Today is Li Xiao’s wedding night, so no matter how simple the conditions are, everyone should help boil water.
On the night of the bridal chamber, the bride and groom must wash it clean and dress beautifully.
It is actually quite unhygienic to sit in a wooden bucket to take a bath. Although it is quite popular in later generations, people also have another shower, and the wooden bucket bath is actually just a bath.
The water is quite hot, there is only a loofah sack next to it, and there are no toiletries.
These days, the lighting candles and lamp oil in the poor family is not affordable, and there is no toothpaste, soap, shower gel, shampoo in terms of cleaning and hygiene.
Rich families are better, but it is said that only bath beans are used to take a bath, which is a very simple cleaning item. It is sold in major pharmacies, but it is never cheap.
I rubbed the loofah sacks hard, and it also rubbed off a lot of old mud skin, making my skin red.
Wipe the water clean, put on a big red robe, put on black leather boots, wear black hairpins, and tie a leather strap.
Outside, Guo Dabiao and others were already knocking on the door impatiently.
"The groom, it's getting late. Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold at a moment. Why are you still dawning? If you delay, it will be dawn!"
The door opened, and Da Biao, who had not been waiting for a long time, grabbed him with his big hand. Zhang Cong Liu Yuan, Ergou Tiezhu and others rushed up and lifted him up directly.
The emperor is really not anxious about the eunuch. This group of people is even more anxious than him, the groom. It seems that they can enter the bridal chamber tonight.
The group laughed and shouted, carrying Li Xiao directly into the bridal chamber.
In fact, it was the very simple house opposite. In the past, it was Zhao Wan and Li Zhen’s bedroom. After a brief decoration tonight, it became a bridal chamber for a couple.
A piece of red cloth that I took out from somewhere was hung on the door and two cypress branches were broken. The red and green look was very beautiful.
The door slammed behind him, and also locked everyone's laughter behind him.
The room suddenly became quiet.
There were two braziers in the house, and the flames swayed and jumped, vaguely illuminating the house.
On the bed, Zhao Wan had already put on a green wedding dress. She bought it a few years ago. At that time, the Li family had not yet collapsed. The clothes were very good and the colors were very bright.
