10 Wedding Preparation (2/2)
***
Mid-Autumn finally arrived. Today my wedding day. In fact, during this week, several times I intended to run away from Yun manor.
Imagining the unhappy life that I will live with Xiao Junwangye, I want to run away. However, every time I intend to run away, my family's face immediately rings in my mind.
If I run away, my family will receive Bixia's punishment. This time is definitely heavier than the previous punishment.
Today, Ling and my mother helped me wear my wedding clothes. They also helped me make up myself. I wears xunran, which includes a light red underwear and a black outwear. Besides, I has bound the hair up with a 50cm hair band and a 25cm hairpin.
I chose a bright red lipstick to give a bright impression. My wedding clothes are black with red embroidery on the edges. If I'm not wearing the right makeup, I will look gloomy with my clothes.
After wearing my wedding clothes and my face dressing, my mother told Ling to go out from my room.
”Xia He, since you marry Xiao Junwangye, you have to keep your husband's reputation,” my mother advised. I nodded my head. But in my heart, I reject her words. How do I keep someone's reputation bad?
”You have to support his and made his reputation better,” my mother said again. I nod my head. But, in my heart, I doubt her words. How do I make people's reputation good? While I still can't clear my name now.
”Xia He, on your first night maybe it will be difficult for you. You just have to surrender your self to your husband, ”my mother said and her cheeks turned red. I did not understand her words, but I nodded my head.
”Furen, the groom has come,” Ling suddenly entered the room. I could hear loud noises from outside. The sound of firecrackers being burned and the sound of cheerful music mixed in one time.
”The time has come,” my mother said and smiled.
”Xia He, I'm sure you will be happy. When we marry you to someone, you are still a member of this family. If you need help, don't feel embarrassed to ask us, ”my mother asked me. I nod my head.
My mother's words calm me down. I once thought that this marriage would leave me and my family apart.
The old adage says, when married, a woman belongs to her husband and her husband's family.
However, my mother's words calmed me because I knew that my family was on my side.
”This is a hard time for a mother. Marrying a daughter, it feels heavier than marrying a boy. Finally I have to give my beloved daughter to someone else, ”mother said and her tears fell.
I wiped his tears with the handkerchief I held. My mother smiled. She patted my shoulder softly to calm me down.
”Xia He, good luck forever,” my mother said. She hugged me then took a red veil. She covered my face with the red veil. Inside the veil, I secretly cry.
