God's plan to save

Chapter 60

The most important day in a woman's life should be grandly and meticulously arranged, but Yan Xiaoqi couldn't even kneel and do her makeup. She really didn't have the confidence to survive the cumbersome ceremony.

Zhao Wen caused such a scandal before the ceremony. Although the old lady tried her best to restrain the servants, it was still spread out.Ladies and ladies from all the prefectures of her family were unwilling to come, and those with few guests could only do things hastily, so when they arrived at Yan Xiaoqi's place, Xu's preparations were very careless.

My daughter has been grounded so far, so why should a girl born to a concubine be looked down upon?Mrs. Xu was so willful that she didn't even invite the praisers and the directors. If the old lady didn't worry about Mr. Xu's arrangements and asked about the details, it would really make a joke on that day.

No one knows how many liters of old blood in the old lady's heart want to vomit, but everything has a cause and effect. If she hadn't indulged Mrs. Xu back then, she didn't want to control or talk about everything, and now she doesn't need to work hard to help Mrs. Xu aftermath.

After the first snowfall, it was a bit colder. Yan Xiaoqi was wrapped in silver fur and stood by the window. Although she was just a concubine in this life, she had clothes for the cold weather, medicine for illness, and regular and delicate meals for her three meals a day. Already very contented.

It's just that the master who was picked up for nothing, apart from giving her a brand new identity, didn't give her any other help. In the end of many things, she can rely on herself.

Thinking about the Jiji ceremony in a few days, Yan Xiaoqi closed the window and sat down beside the desk. The poetry collection written by her predecessor was almost destroyed by her, and her memory became mixed. If she hadn't looked at these familiar lines, she would have Don't forget how many days she has lived.

"Miss, the lunch has been set, you can eat with your hands clean." Xiang Ling knocked on the door and came in with a slightly round smiling face.

Yan Xiaoqi put down the book in his hand, swept the snow outside the window again, got up with a smile and followed Xiangling to the next room.

It is always difficult to recover from body cold, especially her body seems to be always sensitive to the cold. Sitting in the room, the cold wind brought in and out by Xiangling and Luping would make her shiver uncontrollably.

But even so, she still actively cooperated with the treatment. She didn't want to live a year this time, and she wanted to experience the gift of time and space.

Under the old lady's personal inquiry and arrangement, the day of Jili finally arrived, and the cloudy sky began to clear up after several consecutive days. Yan Xiaoqi, wrapped in a silver fur cloak and wearing snowproof leather boots, followed behind several servant girls Walk towards the main courtyard.

The weather is already good, and her body will definitely recover, and an unprecedented confidence suddenly rose in her heart.Here, after all, is not the Qushui village where you can't even eat.

However, thinking of that cheap master, she still has deep regrets in her heart. She sent so many posts to the temple, but she didn't receive a single reply.

On the last day of her daughter's family, she hopes to get a little response from the other party on this day when she swears that she will officially grow up. Even a slight smile can satisfy her.

The few gowns that need to be changed on the day of the ceremony are made by the old lady who has invited some of the best embroiderers in the city to the mansion to make them for her. Ladies and ladies introduced Yan Xiaoqi.

"Oh, Miss Seven, you're here. If you don't come again, I can't help but go to Taoyuan to invite you in person." Yunzhu, the big maid next to the old lady, finally let go when she saw Yan Xiaoqi and his party. Carrying his heart, he quickly welcomed the person in.

If it were another season, it would be most appropriate to hold this ceremony in the garden in front of the ancestral hall. The singing of birds and flowers, the sound of cicadas, and the beautifully dressed lady sitting at the side is already the most pleasing scene.

But in this harsh winter, especially the snow that just fell a few days ago, the braziers in the east hall are not warm enough. The smokeless silk charcoal burns bright red in the braziers, and there are special women guarding each brazier. There was just a hint of warmth in the hall.

It was still early, and the invited ladies hadn't arrived yet. The old lady and the reluctant Xu family were already waiting here, but Zhao Wen, who was grounded, still didn't show up. I don't know if it was for show, or if she really made up her mind To take her temper back.

"Xiaoqi, come, let grandma see how you look today?" The old lady still looks hale and hearty, with light gray oriental beads the size of a thumbnail embedded on her dark red forehead, festive And expensive.

"It's good, Grandma Lao is worried." Along the way, Yan Xiaoqi was already a little out of breath, but this was his own good day after all, so it's not good to bring bad luck to himself.

"You girl, take a break first, it's still early, wait for the guests to arrive later, and you will be busy when the ceremony officially begins." The old lady took Yan Xiaoqi's hand and looked up and down. Although her face turned pale, she was still in good spirits. good.

At the end of the hour, all the guests watching the ceremony had already taken their seats. With the support of Luping, Yan Xiaoqi, wearing a child's clothes and combing a double-ring bun, walked slowly into the hall step by step from the front door.

"This is the seventh girl who was accepted by the temple master as an apprentice? She looks very upright."

"It's not just Zhou Zheng, this is a rare beauty, charming but not vulgar, really good-looking."

"It's a pity that she is a concubine..."

As Yan Xiaoqi walked to the small table step by step, the whispers in the crowd gradually disappeared, but Mrs. Xu, who was sitting on the master's seat, felt like a light was on her back, and she always felt that everyone in the hall was watching. her jokes.

With Luping's support, Yan Xiaoqi carefully knelt down in front of the table. I don't know if it was a coincidence that the guest of honor invited by the old lady was Mrs. Anping Hou Shizi, and the guest of praise was An Yu who had just reached her age in summer.

The ceremony went smoothly one by one, but every time he knelt on the plush blanket and waited for a long time to make up, Yan Xiaoqi's complexion became paler and paler.On such a critical and formal occasion, she did not allow herself to make mistakes, but her physical condition could no longer support her changing into the last dress.

"Miss, how are you doing? Do you want to wait a little longer?" Lu Ping brought a plate of Yan Xiaoqi's favorite plum blossom crisps, and a bowl of sweet soup.

Yan Xiaoqi waved her hand, not only was she dizzy and her limbs were weak, but her stomach was also churning. She was already trying hard to restrain herself from vomiting, so how could she dare to eat at this time.

The last one is hibiscus powder, which is unparalleled in beauty.The cheeks that had been covered with rouge were no longer as pale as before. Yan Xiaoqi suppressed the oppression in his chest, and continued to walk out from the side hall. Just as he walked to the table, he heard a voice from outside the door: The imperial decree has arrived.

Everyone in the hall was in shock, but the old lady who knew the inside story showed a relieved smile. She had been waiting for these three words since the morning.

Anxiety flashed through Yan Xiaoqi's heart, supported by two maidservants, he followed the crowd to the courtyard, where the nimble servant had already set up the incense table.
