"Comb your hair once from the top, wealth will come a lot;

Comb your hair once to the end, you will be nice to your man;
Comb your hair twice to the end, you and your husband will be hand in hand;
Comb your hair three times to the end, you and your husband will love each other forever.
Comb your hair from the top to the end, you will have a lifetime of wealth and honor!"
The ninth day of the third lunar month was an auspicious day that Wei Huan had chosen. The whole Ruiyu Hall looked new after it was decorated with flowers. The servants had been working all night long to put hundreds and thousands of flowers into Xianshuang Court, making the court heaven on earth.
Madam Qian, a lady in the Wei Family who was in love with her h
The Wei Family had been managing in Fengzhou for hundreds of years and was deeply rooted. The clan was marrying out a daughter who was the only lineal granddaughter of the generation and the husband was the next Family Head of the Shen Family in Western Liang so that the celebration was naturally very lively.Wei Huan personally ordered that both inside and outside the city that starting from the day before Wei Changying leaving home, he would set up banquets for ten days. During this period of time, delicacies and good wines would be served one after another. Regardless of the origin of high or low, anyone only needed to come forward and say some lucky words to congratulate, and the people from the Wei Family would greet them with a smile and invite them to the feast. Wei Huan also asked skillful craftsmen to make up countless lanterns with beautiful and harmonious meanings, such as lotus, winged birds, mandarin ducks, and so on to light them up all night over the city
The courtyard was deep and quiet, and the willow branches outside the wall were graceful that they floated with the soft wind. Several Orioles hid in it and made a melodious voice.The afternoon in late spring and early summer was quiet, and it was obvious that the newly painted courtyard was burning with the smell of wood honey that could dispel evil spirits. The Red lacquer pillars could be used as a mirror. Under the pillars, led by two women in charge, six beautiful maidservants in colorful clothes stood with their hands down together, and waited for the orders.They were the servants specially sent by the Shen Family because they were afraid that Wei Changying would not have enough manpower here. In fact, it was also etiquette. There were many people who accompanied with Wei Changying for this marriage. How could she be short of close attendants?After arriving at the Shen Family's courtyard in the capital before noon, Wei Changying saw th
The Great Vi had been in peace for more than 100 years. Although the civil administration had collapsed in recent years, and the state had signs of decay, the capital was still magnificent and spectacular. The present crisis could not be seen at all.The weather on the seventh day of April was very good, with cool breezes and a clear sky. Seen from a distance, the tall and towering city walls had indescribable majesty and gorgeousness. On both sides of the highway leading straight to the city gate, the willow twigs were like clouds of mist. The orioles hiding in the mist of willow twigs were frightened by the drum music, and flew up one after another. The agitating songs of the orioles resounded through the highway, which, however, added a touch of spring and jollification to the bridal procession.At the end of the willow mist and the songs of the orioles, there was a sea of flickering shadows....With just one glance, the sedan curtains were
Mrs. Liu, the eldest sister-in-law, stopped Shen Cangning continuing to tease the new sister-in-law, seeing Wei Changying in great embarrassment. Then she said to the second sister-in-law, Mrs. Duanmu, "The third younger sibling just married into our family, and we know that she is a little shy. But don't say it out, making her too embarrassed to taste the Flos Sophorae cake."Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mrs. Liu gratefully. Mrs. Liu then said seriously, rolling her eyes, "The third younger brother has never paid attention to food. It's the first time that he prepares the food for others. But if the person he cares about is embarrassed to have a taste because of your teasing, won't he be disappointed? You are his sisters or sisters-in-law, but you are inconsiderate and helpless!"After her words finished, the room was filled with laughter.Mrs. Duanmu and Shen Cangning both nodded solemnly and said one after another, "
Shen Cangfeng laughed and said gently with his lips almost touching her ears, "Don't you want to sleep?" As he said, there still seemed to be alcohol in his mouth. A strand of long hair slipped out of the ribbon and fell over Wei Changying's shoulder with some moistness. It turned out that he had hurriedly bathed when he returned.Oops, it seemed that it was impossible to coax him to take a bath.Wei Changying screamed bitterly, tried hard to think an idea, and said aggrieved, "You are such a person! Sleep is all right, but why you touch me... How rude are you!" Suddenly, she pinched hard on his arms, expecting him to loosen his arms because of pain."That will be rude if I don't touch you tonight!" Shen Cangfeng pretended to be unconscious and let her pinch. But his words seemed more teasing. Suddenly he bowed her head and kissed hard on her neck. "Ah!" Wei Changying screamed in a low voice and raised her hands unconsciously to cover her neck.
An early summer night, quiet and peaceful.In the dark blue sky, there was an array of stars.The warm breeze from the south sent the whispers of summer insects through the window but then turned away in shame at the scene beneath the window. Maybe it turned sharply, lifting people’s sleeves.As the candlelight wavered, Wei Changying's lapelled pomegranate red robe, which had been loosely draped, suddenly slipped down to reveal most of her smooth snow-white shoulders, shimmering with the unique light of youth, bright and soft, luminous and lustrous, in the candlelight.Shen Cangfeng still kept his head down as he lingered and kissed her. The hand that was holding her waist gradually moved upwards. Imperceptibly, it snuck in through the bodice, rubbing gently, again with force. Wei Changying subconsciously pressed his hand, but the force was so weak that it felt like coquetry or even more an invitation.The feeling of t
It was the next morning.Mrs. Huang combed Wei Changying’s hair and scolded her in a low voice, “First Miss, you are pretty violent. How did you scratch in-law like that?” Last night, after sex, Shen Cangfeng ordered servants into the inner room to serve him and his wife. Maids saw hickeys all over Wei Changying’s skin but found it reasonable. Qin'ge and Yan'ge helped her wash the body, blushing.On the contrary, servants who served Shen Cangfeng not far from Wei Changying were shocked by scratches and blood on his back and arms. It seemed that Shen had fought with somebody. One of the servants wanted to fetch the ointment for injuries but Shen stopped him. Qin'ge and Yan'ge were not calm any more. They hurried to dry Wei Changying’s body and immediately told Mrs. Huang what had happened. Mrs. Huang was speechless after she knew wounds in detail.Now, when Mrs. Huang served Wei Changying, she naturally told her something, “It is a
Wei Changying first greeted the eldest branch.Mrs. Liu had seen Wei Changying yesterday in the bridal chamber. She was wearing a purple dress today, and her hair was made into a snake-shaped bun, decorated with a gold hair clasp. She looked dignified and elegant. The person on her left was Shen Cangfeng's lineal eldest brother Shen Cangli. He was about 30 years old and had a short beard. He looked similar to Shen Xuan and Shen Cangfeng, but his appearance was rather melancholy than sharp. He was not ebullient either. He only lifted his hands and didn't even smile when Shen Cangfeng and Wei Changying came to visit him.Not until Mrs. Liu encouraged the new couple on behalf of Shen Cangli did the atmosphere become less embarrassed.Seeing this, Wei Changying began to think that Shen Cangli was unsatisfied with Shen Cangfeng because Shen Cangfeng was appointed to be the next Family Head instead of him.... However, he behaved like this even in fro
