Chapter 225 The ceremony is completed
In her previous life, Shen Tang married Xie Guimo. Because it was a wedding to bring good luck and they were in a hurry, many steps were simplified. Normally, she would have to go around Kyoto, but in her previous life, she was directly carried from Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to Jingyang Prince Mansion.
The time spent in the sedan chair was reduced by more than half, and a lot of suffering was also avoided. In this life, one must follow the rules and regulations and not miss a single step.
There was an ice basin in the sedan chair, so it wasn't that hot, but the phoenix crown pressing on her neck was really sore. Shen Tang tried to take it off, but failed, so she had to give up.
Shen Tang sat in the bridal sedan, feeling the bumps of it. She never knew she could be so patient.
When the wedding procession was halfway there, suddenly, a crackling sound was heard, which scared Shen Tang.
Are we at Prince Jingyang’s Palace already?
Shen Tang lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked, "Are we there yet?"
Ginkgo shook her head. "It's so early. I wonder who is deliberately trying to be naughty by throwing firecrackers into the wedding procession."
Ginkgo was a little worried that if the dowry was dropped, it would be a huge loss.
Shen Tang frowned. There were not many people in Kyoto who had the courage to bring trouble to Prince Jingyang's Mansion. Shen Tang suspected that it was related to Shen Xi. The last time she married Prince Qi, she threw away a lot of her dowry, and the Marquis' Mansion did not give her any compensation.
Xie Guimo rode over and asked, "Are you not frightened?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "I'm fine."
Xie Guimo felt a little relieved. It was okay if the things fell, but he just hoped his wife wouldn't be scared.
Chen Qi has already gone to investigate who is causing the trouble.
The wedding procession continued to move forward. Soon, Chen Qi returned and said, "We've caught a few people who threw firecrackers and have taken them away for questioning. Fortunately, the soldiers carrying the dowry today were not frightened, and the Crown Prince's wife's dowry was not damaged."
Shen Tang's dowry was quite large. It was 30% higher than the dowry prepared for Shen Xi by the public, and there was also the dowry left by Jiang. Shen Tang wanted to give half of it to her eldest brother Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan refused. There was also the dowry given by the Jiang family. It was difficult for the servants in the Marquis' Mansion to deliver all this. They had to be on guard against the situation that if a noble family sent dowry and they couldn't find anyone to carry the dowry, it would be embarrassing.
Shen Sui selected a few hundred soldiers from his command, dressed them in servants' clothes, and no one could tell them apart.
Both sides of the street were filled with people who were watching the excitement. Seeing the firecrackers being thrown down from the roofs, many people broke into a cold sweat for Shen Tang. It was obvious that someone was trying to mess up the wedding procession. Once the chaos started, no one knew how much damage would be incurred.
As a result, the firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound, and the wedding procession was only startled for a moment, but they quickly calmed down and continued walking on the firecrackers as if the firecrackers did not exist.
This scene made everyone admire it very much, and then they started to wonder if it was intentional, just like the sedan chair overturning, which was a deliberate act to show their power.
The only problem that occurred during the wedding reception was that the ice basin that had been prepared melted, and the temperature in the sedan chair became hot. The wedding dress she was wearing was thick and heavy, so it was really hot.
Just when Shen Tang was about to give up, Yin Xing's voice came, "Miss, we will arrive at the Jingyang Palace in another quarter of an hour."
It’s finally here.
If she doesn't, she will become the first bride in Kyoto to suffer from heat stroke.
The wedding date of Princess Roujia and my eldest brother should be set in the next few days. I must remember to remind my eldest brother to change the ice basin for Princess Roujia during the wedding.
After persisting for a while, Ginkgo said, "Miss, we have seen the Jingyang Palace."
The Prince of Jingyang's mansion was magnificent. It took a full half cup of tea for the sedan chair to stop in front of the gate. The sedan chair stopped amid the sound of firecrackers and suona.
After being jolted for so long, even when the sedan stopped, it felt like people were still being jolted.
Xie Guimo dismounted from his horse, and the master of ceremonies shouted, "Groom, shoot the bridal sedan chair, and welcome the bride down from it!"
The servant came over with arrows, Xie Guimo picked them up and grabbed three more arrows.
Three arrows fired in unison.
Shoot steadily on the bridal sedan.
Xie Guimo threw the bow to the servant and went over to lift the curtain of the sedan chair without even waiting for the matchmaker to ask.
Shen Tang was sitting upright in the bridal sedan when she saw a bony hand reaching out. She blushed and held her hand out.
The hand with slightly heavy calluses held her soft wrist and led her out.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she was picked up horizontally.
The poor matchmaker was about to hand over the red silk, but she handed it over in vain. The matchmaker had to handle at least a hundred weddings a year, but she had never seen a groom who loved his bride so much that he didn't even want the bride to take another step.
The emcee was also a little confused, but fortunately he reacted quickly and was able to adapt to the situation, saying auspicious words one after another.
Across the brazier.
Saddle up.
Shen Tang should deal with these things on his own.
Xie Guimo carried her and stepped over, his brocade robe suppressing the flames.
Seeing this, Yun Yi turned to look at Chu Yi who was watching the ceremony with her. Chu Yi looked a little innocent, "We weren't familiar with each other at that time. Even if I had the intention, I wouldn't have the courage..."
Yun Yi's face flushed red. Seeing her elder brother, Young Master Yun, looking at her, Yun Yi quickly took the maid to move to another place.
Seeing Xiao Xun, Lu Li and the others looking at him, Chu Yi's face was burning with anger. He wanted to run away, but Lu Li stopped him. "If you hadn't gone to Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion to block the way, I would have thought you wouldn't come to Jingyang Prince's Mansion to attend Brother Gui Mo's wedding."
What happened that day was too embarrassing. Chu Yi has been too embarrassed to go out these days. If today was not Xie Guimo's wedding day and he had to come, he really didn't know when he would hide.
Thinking about it makes me want to crawl into the ground.
I have never done such a shameful thing in my entire life.
Lu Li laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just embarrassing. You'll get used to it."
Chu Yi, “…”
If you don't know how to comfort others, you don't have to comfort them.
Chu Yi looked straight ahead as he watched Xie Guimo put Shen Tang down and took the wedding silk handed to him by the matchmaker.
A worship of heaven and earth.
Two worship the high hall.
Husband and wife bow to each other.
"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber——"
The newlyweds were escorted out of the wedding hall and into their new home by everyone's support.
After they left, Lu Li patted Chu Yi's shoulder and asked him, "What does it feel like to get married?"
What is it like to be married?
Chu Yi thought about it.
It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Chu Yi looked around and whispered, "Don't say I didn't remind you. It feels so good to be married. I regret not getting married sooner."
Xiao Xun patted Chu Yi's other shoulder and said, "You have to be clear about this. Is it better to marry Miss Yun, or just any girl?"
Young Master Yun was also there and looked over immediately.
Seeing the look from his brother-in-law, Chu Yi immediately said, "Is there any need to ask? Of course, it's the wife I chose myself."
Young Master Yun looked away.
Chu Yi pretended to strangle Xiao Xun's neck, "I am your brother and I are close friends, yet you deliberately deceived me."
Xiao Xun asked, "Is getting married really that interesting?"
Chu Yi said, "Anyway, I've warned you. If you don't believe it, you'll be the ones who regret it."
These words made Xiao Xun eager to make a move.
They are of similar age. Chu Yi and Xie Guimo are both married, and Xiao Huan will be married soon. He and Lu Li haven't even gotten engaged yet, so it's time for him to pay more attention.
Lu Li said, "Let's go, ask Brother Gui Mo to come over for a drink. It will be too late if we go, and we won't be in the bridal chamber."
Chu Yi didn't want to take it personally, but he really wanted to hit someone.
I feel that if I don't silence the truth, it will sooner or later become known to everyone.
