Hearing her ask this question, Ah Cai's face instantly turned red. She bit her lip and whispered back:
"I don't know. I just think General Liu is a good man. He stayed away from marriage for more than ten years because of his late wife. This relationship is rare. I admire him from the bottom of my heart."
"Ah Cai, we are just little girls. You can't expect General Liu to look at you seriously, nor can you expect that he will fall in love with you. Please stop thinking so much, okay?"
"I don't have any extravagant expectations. Last night, I saw him looking pitiful when he called his wife. I felt sorry for him. Ah Hong, I know I shouldn't have such thoughts. I know I was wrong. The princess also advised me. Now, please don’t tell others about this, okay?”
Ah Hong looked calm, sighed, and said:
"Princess, you have a lot of people. If this is not the case, you must be punished for this whimsical little girl. General Liu drank too much last night. He probably couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or waking up. Therefore, just pretend that this incident never happened. From now on, you You should also pay attention to the propriety in doing things, and stop thinking too much."
"I see."
A Cai lowered his head and his voice was as light as a mosquito.
…
The past ten days passed very quickly. Luo Lan lived a comfortable and comfortable life in the Duke's Mansion. Leng Yu would come over to accompany her in his spare time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of February. When I woke up early in the morning, the Duke's Mansion was extremely busy. In the front, there were a large number of rewards sent by the emperor to congratulate the Duke Protector on his daughter's marriage. Later, the nobles of the court sent valuable gifts one after another. Liu Dechang decided to send these gifts together with the dowry he prepared for Luo Lan to Prince Yu's Mansion. Therefore, at this time, there were dozens of carriages filled with items outside the Duke's Mansion, waiting to accompany the bride to the wedding.
Luo Lan, wearing a phoenix and Kou Xiapei, sat in front of the bronze mirror. Through the bronze mirror, she watched the two Xi Pos busy on her head and face.
Today's makeup looks particularly rich, her eyebrows are lightly dyed, her lips are rosy, her cheeks are lightly rouged, and her complexion is fair and rosy.
The usually delicate woman became charming and dignified at this moment.
The bright red Feng Kou Xia Pei is even more eye-catching. It has double-layered wide sleeves of gold silk gauze, with auspicious mandarin ducks embroidered on the edges. A bright red embroidered belt is tied around the waist, which perfectly evokes her exquisite and graceful figure.
After some preparations, Xi Po covered her head with a red scarf, caressed her arm and whispered:
"Miss, the groom has arrived. It's time to give the Duke a farewell ceremony and get into the sedan chair."
Luo Lan nodded and slowly stood up with Xipo's support. At this time, Leng Yu was already waiting outside the house in a dark red robe with dragon patterns. When he saw her coming out, he hurriedly greeted her and took her hand. Wearing bright red satin, under the guidance of Xipo, she strode forward with the corners of her mouth raised.
Luo Lan could only see the position of her feet through the hijab, and she could also see Leng Yu's heels.
This man seems to be walking much more briskly today.
They first came to the main hall and kowtowed three times to Liu Dechang in accordance with the regulations of Daning Kingdom. Liu Dechang gave Leng Yu some instructions before they walked towards the gate.
The flaming red sedan waiting at the gate of the Duke's Mansion is particularly eye-catching under the colorful silk decoration. The colorful balls dotted on the four corners, the tassels hanging to the bottom, the auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the sedan... This sedan is full of transparency from top to bottom. Look noble.
The eight bearers in bright red robes looked happy, the girls standing on both sides of the sedan were all smiling, and the drummer was also ready...
The people who came to watch the excitement gathered around in circles.
The dowry prepared by the Duke's Mansion for the eldest daughter's marriage spread all over the street. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as ten miles of red dowry.
Today's bride Luo Lan is so beautiful that it seems that the bustling city has lost its color.
She looked at Leng Yu through the red hijab. He led her to the sedan and smiled gently at her. That smile was warmer and softer than the spring sunshine...
He watched her get on the sedan, then took the reins of the horse handed over by Xiao Lingzi, stepped on it with one foot, turned on the horse, and rode forward, taking his bride and the dowry lined up from the street to the end of the street. Returned to Prince Yu's Mansion in a glorious manner.
When joking before, he had promised her that he would marry her in a sedan chair carried by sixteen people, but as a prince, he could only marry her in a sedan chair carried by eight people. He had known that he would marry her in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Lan, Luo Lan didn't care about this, as long as she could get married to the man she loved, it didn't matter even if it was a sedan carried by four people.
Leng Yu, who was riding on horseback, had a handsome face, and the guards following him were all extraordinary.
The most handsome man in the capital at that time, who was the general of the Kingdom of Daning, married an unparalleled woman who combined talent and beauty with the status of the eldest daughter of the Duke's family.
This wedding ceremony is bound to become a topic of conversation among the dignitaries and ordinary people in the capital.
However, this wedding ceremony lacked the emperor and Chang Guifei, two people who, although not important, should be present. However, although they did not arrive, the congratulatory gifts arrived early, probably because they were afraid of attracting attention!
Leng Yu didn't care about this, and Luo Lan didn't care even more, because seeing them coming would actually affect her mood.
Among the crowd, Shui Youcai watched all this with red eyes. In the early morning, Leng Yu ordered someone to drive him over. This really surprised and pleased him.
Of course, he didn't know that Mrs. Liu, Shui Chunhua and Shui Dabao were controlled by Leng Yu's people. Otherwise, they would have licked their faces and joined in the fun as family members, and maybe they would have caused some trouble. It was a shameless joke, but the most important thing was that Luo Lan didn't want to see them on such an important occasion.
The worship ceremony was complicated and tiring. Luo Lan and Leng Yu completed all the worship ceremonies under the guidance of Xi Po. When Luo Lan was sent to the bridal chamber, Leng Yu continued to stay to greet the guests.
As soon as they entered the bridal chamber, Luo Lan was about to lift the veil on her head, but Ah Hong quickly stopped her and said:
"Princess, Xi Po specifically told me just now that the groom will lift the wedding veil. Please bear with it."
"But I'm too tired."
Luo Lan muttered helplessly, "The prince is still outside greeting the guests. When he comes back and lifts the veil, I will just sit like this. It will be strange if I don't die from exhaustion."
"That won't work either. Just bear with it. Today is your special day. It's unlucky to lift the veil in advance."
All right! Just bear with it, she doesn't want such an unlucky thing to happen.
At this moment, there was the sound of the door opening outside, followed by a burst of brisk and familiar footsteps.
Luo Lan was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that her groom had come to lift her hijab.
At this time, Leng Yu came to Luo Lan under the guidance of Xi Po, raised the weighing beam with the tray in front of him, and said loudly:
"The first one is to raise a case and the eyebrows are in harmony, the second one is that the husband and wife are harmonious, and the third one is that the grandchildren are in the house."
As Xi Po's last voice fell, the Xi scale in Leng Yu's hand lifted the hijab on Luo Lan's head. When he saw the delicate woman under the hijab, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly, and then he couldn't wait to wave to the people around him. road:
"Everyone, stand down."
