He reached out and grabbed her hand, put it in his palm and squeezed it. It was soft and thin, as if it had no bones.
He looked back at her clear eyes and asked with a smile: "Madam, do you still remember what it was like when we got married?"
Su Wan laughed when she heard this, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, bright and clear, she said: "Of course I remember."
Although she was holding a fan behind her and didn't see much with her own eyes, it was a marriage that she would never forget in her life, and at that time she felt that marrying him was complete and happy.
When she left the court, although she was a little sad, thinking that she was about to leave home and her family, she also felt that marrying him and living with him in the future would be exciting and exciting, and she was willing to go to him.
Li Lin lowered his eyes and then said, "Sometimes I wonder if it's right to force them to get married?"
In fact, neither husband nor wife wanted to get married, and they didn't know how they would live in the future. They would think that life was too tiring and boring.
Li Lin felt a little regretful. After all, he hoped that Jiubian could marry someone he really wanted to marry, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed too difficult to find someone he really wanted to marry.
Su Wan naturally understood his mood, so he advised: "Actually, it's not too bad. For someone like Jiubian who calls himself a romantic young man, if you want him to really settle down, marry a wife and have children, I'm afraid it's... I can’t wait for a lifetime.”
"This life is only for a few decades. You can do whatever makes you happy. It's not easy for us to control him. It's just that he did something wrong after all. It's destiny."
"At least this child is what he expected, so it's not a loss."
Li Lin thought about it, but he was sitting here today, watching Jiubian's resistance to the marriage, and felt a little complicated. It was not as good as getting married without any expectation or joy in his heart. It doesn’t work.
At this time, the yard became lively outside.
"The bride is here!"
"The bride is here!"
Su Wan paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and asked, "What should we do? Should we go and greet him?"
"No, they will come in soon." Li Lin held her hand and called out: "Xiao Sang, come in."
Xiao Sang walked in from outside the house and came to stand next to Su Wan. Then he heard Li Lin say: "You stay with Madam for a while."
Xiao Sang nodded: "Yes."
Within a few words, the bride had already entered the courtyard. There was a burst of crackling firecrackers outside the courtyard, and there were many people booing beside her.
Madam Zhang led a few people through the door, then quickly tidied up the room, straightened the seats, and watched the newlyweds walk across the yard to the main hall. The master of ceremonies invited Li Lin and Su Wan to take their seats.
"Princess, Mr. Li, please take a seat."
In the eyes of the people in the village, Mr. Xu (Jiubian) is a servant of Jingpingyuan. He wants to get married and there are no elders in the family. It is not out of the ordinary to invite the master to come and sit in the high hall, and the master is willing to give this honor. , which is his appreciation and recognition.
However, there are also many people who feel that it is a pity that Jiu Bian is a good student and his status in Jingpingyuan seems to be good. Originally, some people in the village wanted to introduce the girl at home to him, but he was just idle all day long, like a dandy. The young master didn't speak seriously, which made people rest their minds.
But now that I see that he has built such a yard, I guess that his family background is pretty good, and I feel a little regretful. But now that the bride is about to come in, there is no use in regretting it.
Su Wan took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Lin, and when he nodded, she walked forward with him and sat down on the chairs prepared on both sides of the table in the middle.
Su Wan calmed down after taking a few breaths. As she said before, as long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Anyway, that's all it can do now.
The seat she was sitting was facing the door. She looked up and saw a couple dressed in wedding clothes walking from the yard together. Sun Xiang also held a red silk fan embroidered with peonies in his hand, and there was another one on the side. With the maid supporting them, Aunt Shi Liu walked beside them and said a few auspicious words from time to time.
In just a short while, many people entered the house. The originally empty house was crowded with people on several floors. When the newcomers stepped over the steps and entered, even the door was crowded with people.
"congratulations."
"Tie the knot."
"Have a son soon."
The room was lively, and auspicious words came out of the congratulators' mouths as if they were free of charge. Jiubian smiled and thanked him, with a smile on his face, and he felt a bit like a spring breeze.
In this way, he looks a bit like a groom.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the master of ceremonies stood up and presided over the wedding: "The auspicious time is approaching, the newlyweds worship heaven and earth——"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the newlyweds stepped forward and stood still, listening to the emcee's voice and began to salute.
"Worship the heaven and the earth——"
"Two bows to the high hall——"
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
"The ceremony is completed - sent to the bridal chamber -"
The two of them finished their salute smoothly and without any twists and turns, and Su Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that one of the two would suddenly give up the responsibility, and she wouldn't know how it would end.
Because she was worried about this matter, she forgot about the embarrassment of sitting on the high hall. After the incident, she sat there with a calm heart and felt that she could hold on. This was just a small scene. The next time she encounters such a thing , she can sit more steadily in this position.
A group of people brought the newlyweds to their new house in a lively manner, and the dowry that came with them was delivered to the room opposite the new house. Jiubian had given many good things to Sun Xiang these days, and he also gave a lot of betrothal gifts.
Nowadays, these things are sent as dowry, and the house is filled to the brim, which makes people look envious, but it is useless to envy them, after all, they are not theirs.
Because Sun Xiang was married to Jiubian, Li Lin pointed out a vacant yard to him in Licheng, and the family settlement expenses were also allocated to him. The Li family would also send a gift personally, and he and Jiubian and Jiubian, although they are ministers of the Lord, are also friends and cannot be treated unfairly.
Su Wan privately sent a batch of medicinal materials that Sun Xiang wanted, and then selected some jewelry, cloth and other items for her. Quan thought it was just to add makeup to her and did not give anything else.
After the ceremony was completed, the people who came to congratulate were about to leave. Aunt Shi Liu and Madam Zhang gave everyone a return gift. One basket for each family, which contained a roast duck wrapped in oil paper, a pack of wedding candies, a pack of grains, and a pack of pastries. , these things crowded the basket to the brim, and it looked very rich.
The person who received the return gift was extremely satisfied, said a few blessings with a smile, and then left with his things.
