The 116th wedding (China)

  "Jiujie looks really good today..." said Shijie, sitting on one side, admiring Jiujie who had been dressed up by Quanfu Madame and the maid.

  "Yes, yes, I don't recognize Ninth Sister anymore." Little Eleven also chimed in.

  Unfortunately, it's the truth...

  Looking at the woman in the mirror with a snowy face, bright red lips, deep black eyebrows, and wrapped in a big red wedding dress, Jiuniang felt full of strangeness.

  This really doesn't seem like her, just a ancient newlywed bride in a grand dress, one out of tens of thousands...

  "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up, it's getting light, the wedding procession will be here soon." Jiang pushed forward and pushed away two girls who had squeezed to the front to watch the commotion.

  "Let Ninth Sister eat some more food, otherwise this day is still long." Miao Shi suggested, who had come to help early.

  Jiang nodded immediately after listening and then arranged for Zhou Mama to go to the kitchen.

  Before long, the servant brought in seven or eight bowls of dishes, which were quite sumptuous: various small dishes and snacks, as well as steamed buns and rice porridge.

  There is a custom where the bride does not eat for one day.

  Watching them eat, Jiuniang felt a warm feeling in her heart, as if it was spicy.

  She quickly used some, looking at the lily hoof soup that was simmered quite well, and was about to let Qing An serve it for her.

  "Foolish girl, drink less of this and use your brain more." But it was seen by Xiao Shi who had just entered the door, and Xiao Shi immediately smiled at her.

  She was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood that Xiao's proposal was indeed reasonable.

  Drinking too much soup, at a critical moment thinking of going to the toilet, that's not good.

  She immediately returned a smile to Xiao Shi, then asked Qing Xiang to bring over some of the golden silk rolls for her.

  "Is it all right?" asked Xiao Shi softly as she sat down beside her.

  "Mmm!" She nodded and her eyes fell on Xiao's slightly bulging belly, asking in return, "And sister-in-law?"

  "Hmm!" Xiaoshi also nodded.

  "Don't be too tired, taking care of the baby is important!" Jiuniang finally said in a low voice after glancing silently at Xiaoshi.

  Xiao's eyes widened for a moment, and his gaze met the concern in Jiu's eyes. He nodded again, "Don't worry, Ninth Sister, I've got it under control!"

  The ninth sister didn't say anything and nodded again.

  Her sister-in-law is not easy!

  Due to Li Taikun's poor pregnancy, she let Miao Shi take over the things that Xiao Shi was carrying, originally thinking that she would have a good rest and take care of her fetus.

  But who would have thought that after putting down one burden, he would pick up another, which is to be the study companion of Third Young Master Wen Jingjin.

  Miao's son, Wen Jingjin, was also motivated to study by his wife's sense of responsibility. However, this motivation did not last long, and after a month or so, Wen Jingjin returned to his old ways and could no longer sit still at home.

  At this time, Xiao's virtuous wife thought of two more ways, that is, to study with her husband, researching and discussing during the day, and adding romance at night.

  It's actually a great way to deal with his wife who is getting thinner and thinner due to morning sickness... Ah, of course, it's his beloved wife. Now Wen Jingjin not only no longer despises his slightly pockmarked wife but has even come to treasure her, and those concubines have been left out in the cold.

  The encouragement and support of his beloved wife finally made Wen Jingdi settle down and start working hard, but it was a hardship for Xiao Shi...

  "Following a husband to the end cannot be long-lasting, but not having a new face is also unacceptable, especially when you are newly married!" As she pondered, Xiaoshi suddenly glanced at the noisy crowd on one side, then leaned in close to her ear.

  Uh...

  She was taken aback.

  Xiao's family had already seen her shallow smile, and while smiling, she elegantly brushed off the crystal clear pearl flower on her hair bun.

  Coquettish?!!

  Looking at Xiao Shi like this, a word suddenly popped into her mind.

  At that moment, she suddenly understood. In fact, her brother's wife's weapon to tame her foolish elder brother was not just kindness.

  Although her face was slightly numb, Xiang's figure was good, and with the occasional intentional display of charm, how could her thatched cottage brother escape from the palm of her hand.

  Do I have to be like this too? Using every trick in the book just to curry favor.

  Suddenly thought of Yang Guofeng who was not talkative and smiled little, Jiujie's heart suddenly felt a chill for no reason...

  Just as they were eating, a commotion of children's voices was heard outside. It turned out that Mrs. Feng had brought two kids over. Ninth Sister naturally didn't have time to think about it anymore and started playing with the two kids along with everyone else. The room instantly filled with laughter again.

  Zhen's family then brought over several of their own daughters-in-law, and Madame Quanfu had someone help Jiu reapply her lip color. Amidst the bustle, the sky outside had already brightened considerably.

  "The old lady is coming..."

  At this time, someone outside shouted loudly.

  As soon as they heard this, the crowd's faces immediately turned to her with envy, because this honor was only enjoyed by San Jie.

  Soon, Mrs. Li was already entering the house with the support of Fang's mother and Cuiping, and everyone quickly stood up. Jiang arranged for Jiu to give Mrs. Li a solemn bow.

  Mrs. Li then pulled Ninth Sister's hand and said a few words of emotion and a few words of entrustment.

  After a while, the sun had risen outside and the guests arrived one after another. Mrs. Li also returned to Yanshoutang.

  Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Miao, and Mrs. Zhen went out to greet the guests, while Third Sister, Fourth Sister, Sixth Sister, and Eighth Sister also arrived, and it was another lively scene.

  It wasn't long before a maid came to invite all the sisters, as dinner was being served outside.

  Several sisters went out to sit in the seats, and in an instant, only Ninth Sister and a few personal maids were left in the house.

  Looking out of the window at the spring scenery, Jiujie only felt dazed, with a kind of unreal feeling as if she didn't know where she was in this life or the last.

  In a daze, it seemed as if I was still in that city made of steel and concrete, listening to the car horns, shuttling through those familiar streets and alleys...

  Is this just a dream?

  "Miss, why don't you take another rest?"

  But soon, Qing An's voice reminded her that all of this was reality.

  She was taken aback, then came back to herself and lay down on the bed under Qing'an's service, her heart filled with intense disappointment.

  She closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and silently calmed herself down, giving herself strength.

  Facing a completely unknown future, she was indeed a little scared... um, very scared...

  But time didn't stand still just because she was scared, on the contrary, it seemed to pass even faster. She felt like she had only dozed off for a moment when suddenly there were firecrackers popping outside with a loud "bang bang".

  It should be Yang's family welcoming the bride!

  As expected, soon a maid came to report that Prince Weiyuan had arrived and had entered the gate smoothly. He was now in Yanshoutang giving tea to Lady Li.

  Jiuer's heart suddenly rose at this moment, is it still coming...

  "10th sister, you said 2nd brother and 3rd brother were intimidated by Wei Yuan... No, now I should call him 9th sister's husband. How could he let them off so easily with just two words? It's really not interesting."

  "Big brothers were scared... aren't you afraid? Didn't you see those few people following behind Wei Jiu's husband, they don't look like good people to be with, one of them is a general named Rong Yan and he even has scars on his face..."

  At this time, Xiaoshiyi and Shijie were surrounded by several maidservants walking in, talking about the situation outside while they walked.

  The several young girls in the house heard this and naturally became interested, surrounding a few people.

  Xiao Shi-yi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to retell what had just happened to the crowd in the room, "......it was really frustrating, in the end only Liu Ge and Bao Ge managed to grab a few red envelopes..."

  "All right, all right, stop chattering and hurry up to help your Ninth Sister get ready to leave!" Just then, Mrs. Zhen rushed in hastily and scolded her.

  Xiao Shi Yi stopped talking and went with Shi Jie to help Shi Jiu cover her head.

  At the moment when the bright red veil came down, Jiuge felt that the whole world had turned dark.

  "The auspicious hour has arrived!"

  With such a shout, Wen Jingru rushed into the house and carried her onto the sedan chair.

  Finally arrived in the sunlight, but still couldn't see anything clearly, and the red glow around her that was illuminated by the sunlight made her feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

  She made a passive effort to open her eyes wide, trying to catch the faint light from the gap in the curtain, but gradually her eyes became dry and tears finally slid down slowly...

  As the Master of Ceremonies' voice faded away, she sat down in the sedan chair and then the curtains were lowered, plunging her entire person back into darkness.

  At the moment when her vision was blocked, her hearing became exceptionally sharp, so that she could clearly hear a group of short conversations mixed in with the din.

  "Your Highness?" with a hint of inquiry.

  "Hmm!" A low voice, yet full of command.

  Yang Guofeng!!!

  Jiujie couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  But just then, the earth-shaking gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and that sedan chair swayed and was lifted up.

  Do I really have to leave after all?

  Jiujie's tears couldn't help but fall again, after all, she still had to leave, leaving this place where she left countless smiles and tears, leaving the place she carefully planned and managed, leaving the place she worked hard...

  Even though she knew she couldn't see anything, she still turned her head back longingly.

  There is no banquet in the world that doesn't disperse, what awaits her next is...

  ……

  From the Wen family to the Yang family, although they had to cross several streets, the distance was not far, so it didn't take long for the sedan chair to stop. Then there were even louder gongs and drums mixed with firecrackers ringing out.

  The sedan curtain was lifted, and the matchmaker helped Jiuniang down from the sedan chair. They stopped at a certain place, and the voice of the master of ceremonies rang out again: "First bow to heaven and earth... Second bow to parents... Third husband and wife bow to each other... Send them into the bridal chamber!"

  Bridal chamber...

  Upon hearing these two words, Jiu Jie's heart, which had slowly calmed down from the bumpy ride, was once again stirred up... so much so that when she saw a certain threshold, she almost tripped and fell, luckily being caught by a pair of strong hands just in time.

  "Be careful!" Then a voice was in her ear, as low and clear as just now, making people feel no temperature.

  The ninth sister suddenly calmed down.

  What's there to be anxious about?

  Didn't Fourth Sister tell her that long ago? The imperial edict of the Great Yu Dynasty also doesn't have any regulations prohibiting divorce...

  The girl in front of him, with her slender and delicate figure, suddenly stood up straight, leaving Yang Guofeng stunned for a moment. He turned his gaze to her face, but only saw a bright red flush.

  He couldn't help but furrow his brow, then grasped the red caltrop tightly in his hand once more and strode forward.

  When she sat on the nuptial bed in her new home, Jiuge was already very calm.

  Someone was laughing and urging Yang Guofeng to lift the veil, Yang Guofeng didn't say a word, the silver scale rod moved slightly, and the veil fell silently.

  Jiujier's face appeared.

  Innumerable pairs of eyes immediately fell on her face.

  "The bride is really beautiful!"

  "Really? Really?..."

  Applause erupted.

  In this chorus of praise, Jiuniang naturally lowered her eyebrows and eyelids in a show of shyness, fully embodying the demeanor that a new bride should have.

  It has to be this way, because in this brand new place, she will have to face not just the paralyzed king, but also her mother-in-law, sister-in-laws, concubines... among these people, there are already many who have been rubbing their fists and wiping their palms before her arrival.

  Uh, is she also suffering from delusions of persecution...

  She was lost in her own thoughts, while Yang Guofeng on the other end couldn't help but keep sizing her up.

  Appearing delicate and shy, but actually thinking of something unpredictable, this girl... no, now it's better to say his little wife... is not as simple and gentle as she seems on the surface.

  "Your Highness, Rong Zongbing and the others said... they asked me to invite you..." Just then, a young servant who had just finished combing his hair rushed in and timidly spoke to Yang Guofeng.

  Yang Guofeng was taken aback and furrowed his brow.

  Jiuer's gaze also fell on the man's face along with everyone else, and she couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain.

  She found that this person often frowned, big or small things, as long as they were not satisfied, would be like this... But thinking of this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, could it be... Could it be that asking him out would also make him dissatisfied?

  Ah...

  She suddenly understood the reason for the young man's timidity, as well as the implication of everyone's gaze. This man really shouldn't be here at this moment.

  But why did he stay here, is he interested in her?

  She couldn't help but look at Yang Guofeng again, but Yang Guofeng didn't give her a chance to examine him, turned around and handed over two sentences to a woman wearing a crimson red velvet jacket with silver embroidery, and then left.

  That woman she knew was none other than Mrs. Yang San, the paternal cousin of Jiang's wife, Xiao Yan Shi.

  "Fourth Uncle has gone out to greet the guests, don't be formal, siblings!" said the young Mrs. Yan, who had been entrusted by Yang Guofeng, with a smile.

  She nodded hastily and then lowered her head again.

  That young lady seemed quite pleased with her own behavior, and the smile on her face seemed to have a few more degrees of warmth as she led the crowd in the house.

  Several aunts and sisters-in-law, plus a few others. Since there were too many people, she didn't dare to look at them openly, so after listening for half a day, she couldn't remember several of them.

  But with these people talking, she was indeed relieved of a lot of embarrassment, and her mood slowly relaxed.

  However, it wasn't long before someone came to call out "Little Yan's here", and Little Yan went out to entertain the guests. The crowd chatted for a while longer before slowly dispersing, as the sky gradually darkened and the lanterns were lit.

  The house became quiet, with only Quanfu's wife and two bridesmaids serving her and Yang Guofeng drinking cross-cupped wine, as well as her maid and Yang Guofeng's maid.

  Cui Qiao was a clever person, she secretly handed over the red envelope to the two bridesmaids, and the two bridesmaids thanked her profusely before retreating.

  Just as the Ninth Sister felt tired and sleepy, a maid named Qiaolan said, "The prince is back..."
