Riding in a carriage has the advantage of not having to freeze like a dog in the cold wind. Riding on a tall horse is a bit more fashionable. The sun is not out today, and the wind blowing on the face will make the groom's expression freeze.
We went all the way to Li's house, and it was also at Li's house that we went to the church to get married. For two reasons, one was to marry an equal wife, and he also had a legal wife at home, so they clashed when he went home to have a wedding ceremony.
Another reason is that the Li family was having a big banquet, and Zhuang Xun took Li Rusi away. The owner of the banquet was gone, so how could the banquet be held?
It was also a wedding scene, and the Li family's pomp was too great. The carriages stretched for three miles, and the streets were full of people. There were countless vassal princes, princes, civil servants, and generals, all dressed in gorgeous clothes.
This was considered to be the top gathering of the dignitaries of the Cheng Kingdom. No one except the third rank Marquis or below even had the chance to attend. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and the disputes in the court seemed to have subsided at this moment.
"The beloved has arrived." As the master of ceremonies sang.
Zhuang Xun got off the carriage, and his attendants welcomed him to the gate, playing music. After waiting for a moment, the tall beauty, wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red hijab, was slowly walking toward the village, supported by two maids, Zhi Hua and Yun Yin. Inquire.
A big red flower and two pieces of red silk. Zhuang Xun and Li Rusi each grabbed one end, symbolizing that the fate of the two people was connected by the red silk, just like how he and Si Qin Mi felt a little emotional now.
In April and May, I was in a trance, but my memory was still fresh. I still remembered the shock I felt when Si Qinmi came out of the coffin.
Originally, the Great Epoch Dynasty was just regarded as a prehistoric civilization. Now, it has truly become a world of gods and demons, which can reshape the three outlooks even more than time travel.
Without turning his head, he glanced at Li Rusi with his peripheral vision, thinking that he would be the same person for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that the thin layer of paper was finally pierced by Li Rusi's tenacity.
It was too hasty, it had only been a few days, and even a flash marriage was not so fast. Faced with her confession, Zhuang Xun was confused, not only because of his status, but because Li Rusi knew clearly that he loved Si Qin Mi, and she should Those who retreat when faced with difficulties.
He used his gangster's ability to catch people, and she let him catch her again after going to the toilet. This time, holding hands, it was like the red silk, binding the fate of the two together.
There is no point in worrying about the subsequent calculations. She has already been forced into her heart, and now she wants to marry her home.
"Invite the newlyweds to pass through the corridor." the master of ceremonies ordered.
One of the two maids supported Li Rusi, and the other came to support Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun followed their pace and walked slowly through the corridor leading to the lobby.
In the front, the drums and shengs opened the way, and the dancing girls on the left and right presented their postures, floating like feathers. Behind them were the maids who mopped the floor and lifted the skirts for Li Rusi. This kind of magnificence could only be used by the Grand Master's family on such occasions. The ceremonial guard went all the way, Zhuang Xun was also scrutinized by senior officials and nobles.
He was smiling, confident and calm. Even if he looked around, he did not look around. Step by step, he followed the drums and sheng band in front of him until he came to the reception hall.
At this moment, the layout of the lobby has been changed. There is a large wooden frame with a Chinese character in the middle of the lobby. Both sides are filled with nobles and high-ranking officials. They have been seen in the court and some have never been seen before.
But isn't this just like the Longevity Banquet? Zhuang Xun is not nervous at all. After the torture of the last Longevity Banquet, Zhuang Xun feels fearless in the face of everyone's scrutiny. Last time, so many enemies looked at him with eyes that made him want to peel off his skin and twitch. There were also jealous scholars, but he survived, and this time the emperor didn't even send one, only one eunuch.
"The newlyweds receive the emperor's decree." It is also the emperor's decree before worshiping in the church.
A crowd of people knelt down.
"The edict says: I have heard that Li Rusi, the daughter of Grand Master Yong and the Duke of Yong, is gentle and honest, has a good temperament, and has outstanding appearance...Yu Censor Zhuang Xun has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and is tolerant and kind...please ask the immortal to eliminate the demon. , in order to represent the Grand Master, Zhuang Censor Xishui’s merits, and with the four counties of Henan as his capital... the announcement was made, and I thought it would be good forever."
After the emperor's edict was read, most of the people present looked enviously. This is land, real land.
Is there anything more real than land?
If Li Rusi had been given land from four counties as a dowry, she would not have cared whether it was a tigress or not. The real tiger would have been brought home to support her.
But everyone also knows that this is impossible. The royal family does not allow foreign surnames to appear in China. Even if some aristocratic families are like a kingdom within a kingdom locally, this is not allowed in name.
It could only be because Zhuang Xun was a foreigner, so it was transferred to him to make up for Li Pingyuan's lack of title, as compensation for his promotion and demotion and the loss of Li Chengzhi's title.
"Thank you, my emperor, for your kindness." As the thanksgiving ends, the next step is to kneel down and worship your parents.
Li Ping is smiling more than usual today. Well, if he doesn't have a good face in front of outsiders, he has to think about whether he hates his daughter. This pair of Li Rusi, who has a bad reputation, is equivalent to a family. Double abandoned by society, Li Ping, who loved his daughter, would never be so unreasonable.
"My dear, long prayer." The process continues.
Zhuang Xun knelt down in a polite manner, handed the red silk to Yunyin who was standing aside, took the tea from others, and served tea to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. White jade.
"May your hearts be like jade stones, unite as one, be united forever, and grow old together." The mother-in-law looked at Zhuang Xun with satisfaction. After all, she had married off the eldest girl in the family. The smile Zhuang Xun wore was also very kind and generous. , making people feel close.
She thought it was a mistake. Although it was a bit embarrassing that she was not the official wife, Zhuang Xun really liked her. It could be seen from his actions that they were a pair of affectionate little guys, and Zhuang Xun said that he could not marry her. The reason for being the first wife is also the behavior of a gentleman, which makes people feel reassured.
As he said, if he divorced his first wife in order to marry Li Rusi, how would he know whether he would divorce Li Rusi for a better person? In this way, and if Li Rusi was not married to him, he would not marry her. , Zhuang Xun's status is not low, or even vaguely high.
Therefore, the mother-in-law becomes more and more happy when she looks at her son-in-law, her smile is full of her cheeks, her eyes are narrowed to a slit, full of love, and she hopes that the newlyweds can treat each other as guests and grow old together.
Li Pingyuan's smile was lighter. In fact, his good impression of Zhuang Xun outweighed his dislike for him. His daughter was stupid, but Zhuang Xun was not stupid. He always seemed to have a moderate attitude towards advancement and retreat. He had the courage to bear his daughter's faults in the face of difficulties, which was considered a good example. As a responsible husband, sit down and think carefully.
He is not a young girl like He Tan. He can't figure out this or that. He has been an official and a general for many years. Of course, he knows that Zhuang Xun's willingness to marry an equal wife is the best reflection of his character.
Later, he was reminded that the prime minister wanted to harm him, and then think about the immortal's words. The aloof immortal looked down on the support of a country, but was willing to speak for Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun was considered his lucky star.
She was so angry that she ignored all this before. However, after Li Rusi blew herself up, she took another look at Zhuang Xun and said that he was absolutely right when he said he was a good son-in-law.
It's just that he can't keep his face open, and it's the same in front of everyone. Being able to laugh with him is the greatest show of kindness he can make.
"You will guard one side, and I will give you cloud-patterned golden armor to intimidate Xiaoxiao and keep the border safe." A strongman next to him brought up a set of armor.
Just as Zhuang Xun was about to pick it up, Li Pingyuan waved his hand and told the strongman to step back. He was afraid that Zhuang Xun wouldn't be able to lift it up, which would be embarrassing.
"The newlyweds have risen, and the guests wish you well." The master of ceremonies said, and Zhuang Xun and Li Rusi were also helped up by Yun Yin and Zhi Hua, and now they were together.
Set off by red clothes, Zhuang Xun has a fair complexion and is slightly shorter than Li Rusi. Especially because of the phoenix crown and harem, the hair ornament and the hijab make him taller. Therefore, Zhuang Xun was greeted by everyone's slightly pitiful smiles. After all, Li Ru Si's reputation is well known.
Everyone sent blessings, and Zhuang Xun bent down to accept and return the gifts.
The little horse and the big car have already assumed that Zhuang Xun is a weakling. No matter how you look at it, he is the role of being eaten up and wiped out. Think of Li Rusi's so-called design of Zhuang Xun into the boudoir.
I'm afraid this was tied up by force. Rather than being deceived, it was completely forced. You can imagine that Zhuang Xun still needs to be tricked by someone like this? In front of Li Rusi, he would fall down with just one push.
Thanks to Zhuang Xun's kind nature, he was still willing to marry Li Rusi or succumb to Li Pingyuan's power. After all, Zhuang Xun didn't know there were four counties before he came.
But think about it, just surrender to power. Li Pingyuan is not the general of Yu State, and Zhuang Xun is rumored to be the illegitimate son of King Yu.
The only reason for this is that the gentleman was bullied and Li Rusi attacked Zhuang Xun. The poor gentleman Zhuang Xun, out of a responsible attitude, married Li Rusi as his equal wife.
The few people who thought about all this looked at Zhuang Xun with even more sympathy and pity. Although they did not think wrong, Zhuang Xun did have a responsible attitude.
But they didn't expect that perhaps Zhuang Xun liked big cars, liked tall beauties who flattered him, and liked gallant girls on or under him, and felt a strong sense of conquest.
They can only think of themselves and sympathize with Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun only feels that he has made a lot of money. His arsenic is my honey.
Zhuang Xun has feelings for Li Rusi. If it were an ugly girl, it would not be so easy. Li Rusi is already within his liking, what a gorgeous and unparalleled beauty.
His attitude is more traditional, maybe a little selfish. After marrying him, he will not abandon her no matter how beautiful or ugly she is. But before marrying her, he was also a good-looking animal. He loved beautiful women, and he loved beautiful women even more under the same conditions. It was so realistic. .
Everyone congratulated the newlyweds on their marriage, and the etiquette was over. Next, Zhuang Xun took Li Rusi home, but this could only be an ideal situation, because they still had to attend the banquet, and again, they were today's main character.
Zhuang Xun and the others sat together, sitting on the lower left side of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, still holding hands tightly in red silk, watching the song and dance performance.
Zhuang Xun was okay, his eyes could see. He looked at the red-turbaned Li Rusi worriedly, worried that she was bored.
However, Li Rusi was very quiet throughout the whole process, and Zhuang Xun's worries were obviously unnecessary.
His eyes noticed the Prime Minister and King Qinghe. Both of them were normal, with no expression except a faint smile.
Could it be that today, as he said, he was trying to scare the snake away and the snake gave up the attack?
After thinking about it this way, he was in a much better mood, no longer as tense as before. The person who felt the most obvious change in him was Li Rusi. Li Rusi thought Zhuang Xun liked dancers and was thinking about asking his father to put the dancer team at home. I also went with him as a dowry.
After watching several sets of performances, everyone praised Li Pingyuan's achievements and then praised Zhuang Xun. Anyway, they just wanted to make the grand master happy. In the end, the guests had a great time. Zhuang Xun and Li Rusi were helped up by two maids in red clothes. , grabbing the red silk and looking out, it is already dusk.
Yunyin took the red silk from Zhuang Xun's hand and put the bride and the bride into the carriage behind. Zhuang Xun returned to the carriage in front.
Dozens of carriages belonging to the Li family followed the wedding procession, which seemed to be the dowry.
Only then did Zhuang Xun realize what kind of rich woman he had married. These dozens of carriages were worth a lot of money, even if they were made of silk.
Opening the corner of the curtain, there were far fewer merchants on the road than at noon, and it was no longer lively. After all, it was approaching evening.
Back at the mansion, he also led Li Rusi into the wedding room with a red silk hand in hand. There were no guests here, so Zhuang Xun just greeted the wedding team, invited them to dinner, and gave them some reward money. Si Qinmi took care of these things. .
Looking at the two pretty maids and the beauty with a red hijab, Zhuang Xun felt mixed emotions, including excitement and not knowing what to do.
Taking the jade Ruyi from Yunyin, she looked at the beauty sitting upright, with gorgeous wedding clothes and graceful figure.
Slowly lifting the hijab, her red lips and pink face are more delicate than flowers, her almond-shaped eyes are full of affection, her phoenix crown and rosy plume show her nobility, and her handsome appearance looks like a yandere.
"Husband..." The last word was long and the words were lingering. Half of the bones in Zhuang Xun's body were weak and he sat down on the edge of the bed.
Looking at the newly married wife, she is charming and affectionate. Her beauty makeup has the simple beauty that Zhuang Xun loves. She is lightly applied with pink and white, showing her dimples, right and graceful appearance. Her phoenix crown and harem are the most set off for a woman's nobility, jewels and beauty. Zhuang Xun, who was like Hongyuncaixia, already liked her, but seeing her so beautiful, his heart beat faster.
His direct gaze made Li Rusi's pink cheeks blush. She slightly turned her gaze away from Zhuang Xun, but his retreat only encouraged Zhuang Xun's arrogance. I've seen it before.
"Please have a glass of wine, Madam." Zhi Hua brought a glass of wine to relieve Li Rusi's shyness.
"I want to call you second lady. The eldest lady is your husband's first wife." Li Rusi reprimanded Zhi Hua, and she escaped from Zhuang Xun's increasingly possessive look.
"Zhi Hua understands." Zhi Hua knelt down and raised the glass of wine in his hand.
"I feel strange today, my husband is looking at her like this." Li Rusi said with a hint of pride as she picked up a glass of wine. Today's dress boldly abandoned the traditional red dress, and the effect far exceeded expectations.
"Extraordinarily beautiful." Zhuang Xun praised, putting his arm through Li Rusi's jade arm, and felt embarrassed to stare directly at Li Rusi again.
A glass of sake, drank in one gulp.
Zhuang Xun put down his wine glass and took Li Rusi's hand: "Beautiful lady, you can be considered as marrying me home."
"I have been waiting for my husband for a long time." She smiled. Li Rusi was obviously more excited than Zhuang Xun and got her wish.
"You guys go down, I want to go to bed with my wife." The more he looked at the beauty, the happier he became, and the more Zhuang Xun thought about it, and he was not very healthy.
"They are all maids from the same house. What are you going to do? Husband, if you are tired of concubines, you can change your taste. They have grown up with me since childhood. They are regarded as sisters and I can trust them the most." As soon as Li Rusi spoke, Zhuang Xun was stunned. .
The word "maid" is both sinful and beautiful. At least for him, the scene at this moment is mostly beautiful.
Looking at the two maids who were as beautiful as flowers, he had not yet decided whether to refuse or accept, although his mind and body allowed him to accept. After practicing the mysterious skills given by the Taoist nun, he became confident.
"Lang Jun, the inner guards went to the Li family to arrest someone and started fighting with the Li family's guards." There was no chance to hesitate. The news brought by Si Qin Mi shattered the joy of the marriage.
