After a while, the shopkeeper came to inform: "Madam, can we have a banquet?"
Cui Yourong was silent. Usually, the wedding ceremony would be held first and then the banquet.
But the second child hasn't come back yet, and the bride is so plainly dressed, how can she come down to meet the guests?
After thinking for a while, he responded: "Wait a while."
Seeing the sunset slowly setting in the west, Cui Yourong became more and more anxious: "Why hasn't the second brother come back yet?"
Ye Yui continued: "I think the second brother must want the best for his good brother."
Cui Renren didn't say anything more, he was just afraid that Wen Renling would come back earlier so that he wouldn't end up losing more than he gained and delaying the matter.
At this time, Mr. Song came out and said to Cui Yourong: "Madam, the auspicious time is coming soon, should I invite the bridegroom and the bride to salute?"
Cui Yourong took out a piece of silver and handed it over, and asked, "Can we have a banquet first, and then arrange the marriage ceremony to be held during the banquet."
Mr. Song nodded and said, "Madam, I understand what you mean. I will revise the procedure now."
After Mr. Song left, Cui Yourong called several shopkeepers over so that they could start the banquet and serve the dishes.
Ye Yuiyi was a charming person. Cui Yourong asked her to help greet the guests in the lobby, while she and Mr. Song arranged the reception desk. As for Su Qianqian, she was waiting at the door of the inn for Wen Renling to come back.
In the last rays of sunset, a fast horse galloped over.
He is riding alone, but his hooves are falling like thunder, and dust is flying wherever he passes. The woman on the horse is strong and heroic, the horse is like a swimming dragon, and the person is like a flying phoenix.
Who is it if it's not Wen Renling?
Su Qianqian quickly came to the lobby, came to Cui Yourong's side, and said happily: "The second child is back!"
When Cui Yourong heard this, his brows lit up with joy, he put down what he was doing and hurried to the door.
Wen Renling had already arrived at the door of the inn, reined in his horse, stopped, and jumped off the horse with his things on his back.
The horse was panting, foaming at the mouth, and fell to its knees with its front hooves.
Wen Renling glanced at it with a sad expression on her face. She had loved horses since she was a child and regarded them as her friends. She secretly said thank you in her heart and went to greet Cui Yourong.
Cui Yourong saw that Ren Ling's clothes, face, and hair were covered with a thick layer of dust. Her lips, which were originally moist, were now dry and cracked. She must have been on the road and didn't even bother to drink.
"Boy, thank you for your hard work."
Wen Renling smiled, revealing her white teeth, which was in sharp contrast to her dirty face.
Su Qianqian asked: "Second brother, why did you come back now?"
Wen Renling said proudly: "My brother, of course I want the best. I found Xuandanzhai, the best ready-made clothing store in Yongzhou City."
Su Qianqian said in surprise: "In just over two hours, you ran two hundred miles."
Wen Renling said lightly: "It's three hundred miles." Moreover, the road from here to Yongzhou City is not easy to walk. Half of it is a winding mountain road. If you stumble, your horse will fall and someone will die.
Cui Yourong said, "Okay, have you bought what I asked you to do?"
"Sister, I guarantee your satisfaction!"
The three women walked into the lobby. The banquet had been going on for a while now, so Xie Fu, the groom's official, naturally had to greet the guests.
Wedding banquets are naturally indispensable with wedding wine, with the sound of changing glasses and the exchange of glasses of wine.
The guests entertained by Fuxi Tower are all martial arts practitioners who went to Shenwu Peak together. They all admire Xie Fu and regard him as their benefactor.
Secondly, affected by the lively and festive atmosphere, I toasted to Mr. Xie again and again.
No matter how good Xie Fu is at drinking alone, how can he outshine these gangsters?
Seeing that something was not going well, Ye Yui came to Fu Xie's side and helped to hold back the wine instead of drinking.
"I, as a sister, need to drink this cup."
After that, he drank it all in one gulp without even a drop escaping. Unexpectedly, Ye Yui, who was so charming and charming, actually tasted a bit like a heroine when drinking wine.
Wen Renling searched specifically for Xie Fu and saw that he was radiant and overjoyed. His chapped lips curled up and he smiled.
It's just that Xie Fu didn't notice that his sister Ling was back, but Ye Yueyi, who had eyes and ears in all directions, immediately discovered that Wen Renling was back.
He leaned close to Xie Fu and whispered in his ear: "Drink less. You will have to worship later. Don't be embarrassed then."
The man walked quickly towards the three girls. Seeing that Ren Ling was covered in dirt and dust from head to toe and was dirty, Ye Yuiyi frowned and said, "Second brother, why is it like this? I even doubt that you don't have mysophobia at all."
When the four girls were together, Cui Yourong gave instructions: "Third, take the second to wash your face and change clothes. Fourth, follow me upstairs to dress the bride."
From quiet to noisy, the sounds of moving tables and chairs, the sound of cooking, the sound of firecrackers, the joyful shouts of children, the changing of cups and glasses downstairs...
Sima Yuntai's mood fluctuated as she listened to them one by one. No matter what, she waited dignifiedly, quietly, and patiently.
Time seems to have passed for a long time...
She felt as if she was being left alone and ignored. Did he forget about me?
Light footsteps came at the door, then stopped again.
Sima Yuntai's heart trembled, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, wanting to punch Xie Fu on the face to vent his restless emotions.
Soon she unclenched her fist again, put her hands on her knees demurely, and will deal with you tomorrow.
"Fairy Sima."
What came was a female voice. Sima Yuntai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and asked: "Who?"
"I am Xie Fu's sister."
Sima Yuntai knew who it was. She thanked Fu's four sisters who said "good brother" on the left and "good brother" on the right. Suddenly she became a little jealous and asked coldly: "Where are the others?"
The two women outside the door heard Sima Yuntai's cold tone and looked at each other. They didn't know the extent of the relationship between Xie Fu and this Fairy Sima, but they were willing to sit inside honestly, so it should be good.
Cui Yourong responded: "Thank you, Fu is greeting the guests downstairs. Can I come in?"
Sima Yuntai still looked cold and indifferent: "If you have anything to say, let him tell me."
"Well...it's like this. According to etiquette, Mr. Xie can't meet you now. I'm here now to change your clothes, put on the phoenix crown, and take you down to the church to get married."
The words "go to the church to get married" fell into Sima Yuntai's ears, and his mind suddenly buzzed and went blank. His heartbeat was like a drum, thumping, thumping, thumping, one after another.
He didn't tell me anything, didn't discuss anything with me, and for a moment I felt like a puppet at the mercy of others.
She was angry, anxious, and scared, so scared that she wanted to run out of the window and escape immediately.
But when she thought of him crying with snot and tears for herself, she was suddenly surrounded by a wave of happiness.
Are you risking your life at all costs? He murmured unconsciously: "We are going to marry you..." This time, I am your real wife. It is not a formality, not a child's play, not to make her happy.
This was different from what Sima Yuntai thought. It was far beyond what she could accept. She just wanted to be an underground lady and love him secretly in a dark place where no one was around.
Her identity can never be upright, she can't face Wanzhi, and she doesn't want to ruin his future.
"Yes, let's go to the church to get married."
Cui Yourong said as he opened the door and walked in.
Sima Yuntai, who was still hesitating, was suddenly startled and screamed.
Cui Yourong said with a soft voice and a smile: "Fairy Sima, there is no need to be nervous. Of course, it is understandable to be a little nervous about this kind of thing."
Sima Yuntai was in a state of emotion and said proudly: "I'm not nervous, let him get up right away."
Ye Yuiyi frowned, but he knew how powerful this Fairy Sima was and held back his words.
In terms of seniority, he is the fifth master, and the bride is a good brother, so she can only serve him as an ancestor.
Cui Yourong smiled: "Fu Xie was eager to come up to see you as soon as he arrived. I stopped him from coming up, saying it was unlucky, so he couldn't bear to come up." No matter what, let's explain and appease him first.
Sima Yuntai secretly thought after hearing this, I see, you are more serious than me when I asked you why you left me here and ignored me.
Cui Yourong saw that Sima Yuntai was silent and knew that these words had some effect. He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The guests are waiting downstairs, and the auspicious time is coming soon. Let the two of us put on new clothes and a phoenix crown for you, so that you can go downstairs to worship and get married."
When he heard about the wedding ceremony again, Sima Yuntai couldn't help but trembled, and said softly: "He didn't tell me anything, nor did he discuss it with me."
Cui Yourong smiled: "I have been here before. I know that any woman would feel a little uneasy at this moment, but I want to ask Fairy Sima, besides marrying him, who else do you want to marry?"
Cui Yourong asked this question very skillfully, which could make people strengthen their confidence even when they were wavering.
Sima Yuntai secretly thought, besides marrying him, who else could I marry?
Ye Yui added fuel to the fire: "Oh, if we don't hurry up, we'll miss the right moment and the marriage won't work out."
Cui Yourong saw that the head of the mist covered by the red cloth seemed to be slightly lowered, and raised his hand to peel off the red cloth.
Sima Yuntai was suddenly startled, looked at Cui Yourong coldly, and said with murderous intent: "How dare you take off my red hijab!"
Cui Yourong felt a chill down his spine, and then his whole body became cold. After all, he was from a famous family and had a big heart. He thought to himself that the fact that she was so nervous meant that she cared very much.
He smiled and said: "It doesn't count now, it will count after wearing this phoenix crown."
Sima Yunxue looked at the phoenix crown held by Ye Yuiyi in both hands.
I saw that this phoenix crown was extremely beautiful. There were three phoenixes on the top of the crown, making a flying posture.
The middle is constructed with gold wire, made into shapes such as wishful thinking and auspicious clouds, and is inlaid with densely packed pearls and jade.
Tassel jewelry hangs on both sides, the workmanship is extremely fine, and it is both solemn and noble.
As a royal wife, Sima Yuntai couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it. This phoenix crown had placed her in a dignified and noble position.
This phoenix crown is the treasure of Xuandanzhai in Yongzhou City. It is not for sale and is used to demonstrate the treasure-making craftsmanship of Xuandanzhai.
But when Wen Renling wanted to buy it, no one could stop her. She exchanged another shocking treasure for this phoenix crown.
Sima Yuntai's beautiful eyes lowered slightly: "You two, move quickly."
Cui Yourong smiled and was about to take off the cloth that covered Sima Yuntai's face, but Sima Yuntai raised his hand and held Cui Yourong's wrist. Cui Yourong frowned slightly in pain and heard Sima Yuntai say coldly: "You are not allowed to take off this cloth!"
Sima Yuntai didn't want people to see her face. If people knew that Xie Fu married her mother-in-law, he would be ruined. She also planned Xie Fu's grand plan of making a king and a marquis.
