Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao finished their worship and were then sent to the bridal chamber.
But according to the rules, Cheng Jingzhou had to go out for a toast again, and he could only take off the hijab when he came back.
In addition to Wang Zizhen and Chen Xia who stayed with her, Xie Rongzhao also brought two other dowry maids here, and there were also two maids arranged by Mrs. Cheng.
Wang Zizhen took a glance and saw that the two maids arranged by Mrs. Cheng were both young and ordinary in appearance. It seemed that they had no other thoughts.
Cheng Jingzhou was drunk a lot of wine. Even if most of his wine was water, he would inevitably drink more because he had to sit across the table for a toast.
When he came back, Cheng Jingzhou was safely helped to the entrance of the courtyard, and then helped in by two girls from the Cheng family.
There was a series of cheers outside. I wanted to have a wedding, but I didn't have the guts to break in.
As soon as he entered the room, Cheng Jingzhou left the two girls alone and stood up visibly straighter.
Lifting the red hijab and looking at the little baby he had been thinking about for more than ten years, Cheng Jingzhou felt that his heartbeat suddenly became uncontrollable.
"My dear, we are married. We are truly husband and wife."
Xie Rongzhao nodded with a blushing face. Wang Zizhen brought two glasses of wine over and the necessary procedures still had to be completed.
Finally, two more Xi Pos came in and made some fuss about the mattress, mumbling a lot, which made Xie Rongzhao's neck turn red.
After Wang Zizhen sent the two Xi Pos away, and then ordered someone to prepare hot water, they all went down.
Cheng Jingzhou helped Xie Rongzhao take off the heavy phoenix crown: "Are you exhausted? Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I ate before going out, but my neck is a little sore."
This phoenix crown is indeed a bit heavy.
The wedding dress Xie Rongzhao wore was embroidered by herself, but the phoenix crown was specially made by Cheng Jingzhou, and it was indeed very expensive.
"I didn't think carefully. If I had known you were working so hard, I should have made it lighter and used less materials."
Xie Rongzhao snorted: "If that's really the case, people will laugh at you for being stingy."
Cheng Jingzhou was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that this was also the case.
Forget it, they are all married anyway, so I will not wear this phoenix crown again in the future.
"Come, come and sit. I have to put away the things on the bed, otherwise we won't be able to sleep."
Cheng Jingzhou had listened to his mother's instructions. The bed was now covered with things like peanuts, red dates and longans. It was suffocating to sit on, let alone lie down on it.
After collecting all the things on the outside, Cheng Jingzhou opened two more layers of mattresses and found these things underneath. He packed them up again and then put the two mattresses on them.
After all this tossing, Cheng Jingzhou really felt a little hot.
"The hot water is ready in the ear room. You go and wash up first. After I clean up here, I will go to the west ear room to take a bath."
Xie Rongzhao's cheeks were red. How could he not be shy when he thought that he was going to sleep in the same bed with him?
Xie Rongzhao's bedroom was directly connected to the penthouse. Chen Xia had been waiting outside the penthouse for a long time after being ordered to come in from the outside when the young lady called her.
"Miss, you are getting married tonight, and the pajamas you will change into later must be red. I will go and get them for you right away."
Most of the dowry was delivered to the main courtyard today.
Chen Xia and Wang Zizhen basically take care of some ladies' personal belongings, so they can find things very quickly.
Not only the clothes to change tonight, but also the clothes to wear tomorrow morning were also delivered to the cabinet.
That night, Cheng Jingzhou got what he wanted, and Xie Rongzhao cried twice before he was able to coax him to sleep.
When Cheng Jingzhou got married, the Holy Emperor gave him a special half-month leave. This was a great favor. Ordinary people would only get seven days off when they got married. However, Emperor Jingwen considered that Cheng Jingzhou was young and not from the capital city. As a professional, there must be a lot to prepare for, so I was granted half a month's leave.
Cheng Jingzhou only started to rest two days before his wedding.
In fact, he wanted to wait until the day of the wedding to rest, but Mrs. Cheng refused. When the wedding day was coming, health was the most important thing. It would be bad luck if he got sick again on the day of the wedding.
Xie Rongzhao presented gifts to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and received a red envelope from each of them. This was equivalent to her officially becoming the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, and she was also a daughter-in-law recognized by the Cheng family.
"After you come back, the master and I will go back to Gaoyang County. You and your wife are living your own lives in the capital. If you don't understand anything, you should go back and ask the elders of the Xie family. If Jingzhou has to go out on business , My dear, you can go back to your parents' house directly. Our family doesn't have so many rules, so you can follow your own temper."
"Yes, mother. Thank you, mother."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Mrs. Cheng said this or not, because they will leave Beijing soon. Even if she doesn't say these words, they will have nothing to do if Xie Rongzhao runs to her parents' house every day.
It's better to be more generous.
This looks decent.
Xie Rongzhao prepared clothes, shoes and socks made by himself for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Normally, a new daughter-in-law would prepare such a gift when she enters the house.
"Father, mother, there are several nieces and nephews at home, some of the daughters-in-law have seen each other, some have not, but it has been so long and I don't know how tall and strong they are now, so I prepared other ones together. It’s a gift, but I have to trouble you both to go back and deliver it to the next generation.”
"Okay, actually you don't have to be so polite. They are just kids, so don't take it too seriously."
"My mother is generous, but my daughter-in-law must not be ignorant of etiquette. I want them not to dislike her."
Xie Rongzhao always prepares inkstones for his nephew. Each person has one hand, and the value is basically the same.
The ones she prepared for her nieces were even simpler. They were all uniform silver bracelets, one pair for each of them. Since they were all children, the gold bracelets looked good, but in fact they were not too heavy.
After returning home on the third day, Xie Xiuwen looked at Cheng Jingzhou as his son-in-law, and the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him. God knows, he had not been able to eat well or sleep well in the past few days, because he was afraid that someone would bully his little sweetheart again.
The brothers of the Xie family were also very angry. Cheng Jingzhou didn't have the guts to avoid drinking. Less than half an hour after they sat down to drink together, Cheng Jingzhou was so drunk that he passed out.
Xie Rongzhao was chatting with his mother and sister-in-law in the backyard. When he learned that Cheng Jingzhou was drunk, he was stunned.
"No, it's only been a while. Are your brothers too cruel?"
Chen Jiaojiao snickered: "Are you feeling distressed now? You just drank some wine, and you didn't beat him or scold him. Look, you're so anxious!"
Xie Rongzhao blushed, "Sister-in-law, you are still making sarcastic remarks here! Humph, you didn't have this attitude when my eldest brother was drunk by the Chen family brothers!" (End of Chapter)
