August 15th.
When the sky turned white, Su Xian had already gotten up.
After bathing, washing, and eating breakfast, he went to the newly built ancestral hall in the mansion, worshiped the ancestral tablet, and informed that he would marry his wife today.
There are only two tablets in the ancestral hall of Nuo University, which are Su Xian's father and mother.
The ancestors of the Su family are not included in this list, which shows that Su Xian has completely drawn a clear line with the Su family, the divine capital, and they have nothing to do with each other.
In fact, Liu Huixiang is not the official wife. There is no need to pray to the ancestors and she can just be carried home in a sedan chair. However, Su Xian's family management philosophy is "Although there are differences between positive and negative, we should always treat everyone equally," so he still comes here to worship his parents.
After the ancestor worship, the sky was already bright.
At this time, Lin Chuan's father, Lin Youcai, arrived. As Su Xian's elder, Lin Youcai would assist Su Xian in welcoming and sending off guests, arranging banquets and guests, and other chores.
Everyone in the mansion began to get busy. Some were arranging tables and chairs, some were serving tea, some were preparing banquets, and some were playing gongs and drums. There were hurried figures everywhere.

Lin Youcai had a big belly. After arranging everything, he said to Su Xian with a smile: "Nephew Su Xian, the first batch of guests should be arriving soon. Let's go outside the house to greet them."
Su Xian was wearing a bright red wedding robe and a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head. His face was like a crown of jade, his figure was tall and energetic, and he nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, please!"
The two arrived at the door of the house, and after waiting for a while, the first batch of guests arrived together. They were neighbors from Dongcheng Street, acquaintances from Jiaolou Street, etc.
Su Xian and Lin Youcai treat guests warmly...
He accidentally discovered that shopkeeper Luo from Jiaolou Street and several neighbors who became pale after hearing Liu Huixiang's name had arrived. What did this mean?
This shows that Liu Huixiang's reputation as a "kefu" has been self-defeating.
She would be very happy to know this.
After settling in this group of guests, before they had time to take a breath, the next wave of guests came again. They were officials from Leshou County and the neighboring counties, such as Hejian County, Boye County, and Raoyang County. County and so on.
Immediately afterwards, officials of all sizes from Yingzhou Prefectural Government also came one after another...
Su Xian kept bowing, his waist almost broke, and his voice was so hoarse that it was almost smoking.
But it wasn’t over yet, distinguished guests from the marching camp in the north of the city also arrived one after another, such as Wang Sima, Zhou Jishi and other officials of the princess’s palace, as well as generals, lieutenants, captains, etc. from the army...
During this period, Qianmianhu and Lin Chuan, the "dog friends", also came together.
When Lin Youcai first saw Lin Chuan, he really wanted to give him a slap in the face. He already knew that Su Xian was trapped in Pinyu Pavilion last night, and he almost got angry to death.
However, with Thousand Faced Fox and Su Xian present, Lin Youcai did not dare to mess around. He just stared at Lin Chuan with a pair of eyes, meaning: "I will settle the score with you later, you bastard!"
Lin Chuan trembled with fright and stood silently behind Qian-faced Fox. He decided to invite Qian-faced Fox to his home as a guest for a few days...
The Thousand Faced Fox laughed loudly, took out a small wooden box and handed it to Su Xian, saying, "Brother Su, I'm giving you a small gift. You're welcome. I believe Brother Su will like it."
Su Xian glanced at him sideways and said, "I can't bear the gift of the second arrester."
"Brother Su, this is the 'Golden Gun' that I got from the Kingdom of Shu. One pill is worth a thousand pieces of gold. It has a price but no market... Since Brother Su doesn't want it, then..."
Before he finished speaking, the hand that Thousand-faced Fox handed over began to retract.
Su Xian snatched the small wooden box and quickly put it in his pocket. He smiled and said: "There is no reason to take back the gift I gave you. Thank you very much!"
The Thousand-faced Fox was speechless, and finally patted Su Xian on the shoulder and laughed...
As it rises day by day.
The guests have almost arrived.
The auspicious time for the wedding has finally arrived.
when!
After a deafening sound of gongs, the procession for welcoming the bride slowly set off, carrying eight large sedans, heading west along Dongcheng Street and heading straight to the Yingzhou Prefectural Government Office.
Walking in the front were two big men. The gong they carried together was as big as a bathtub. When struck lightly, the sound could be heard throughout half of Yingzhou City.
Behind the gongs was a luxurious band of percussionists, with gongs, drums, and suonas all playing together. The festive music was so deafening that the surrounding neighbors were blown away.
After the playing team, there is a team of princess palace guards. They are strong and sharp, with bright armor, showing a kind of majesty in the celebration. This kind of wedding team can be said to be unique.
Behind the personal guards is the groom's official Su Xian.
He was dressed in a festive red robe, sitting on a tall horse with a red silk flower on his chest. Even the horse was decorated in red.
Not surprisingly, he is the most handsome guy on the street.
After Su Xianma, the two best men Lin Chuan and Yan Dashan followed closely.
Behind the best man is a luxurious big red sedan with eight carriages. It is empty now and will carry Liu Huixiang home later.
Behind the sedan chair were a large group of servants and maids, holding flower baskets in their hands. The flower baskets contained brand-new copper coins, which were scattered along the way.
At the end of the wedding reception team was also a team of princess palace guards...
when!
The huge gong was struck from time to time to clear the way.
The festive music of playing and beating attracted countless passers-by, who stopped and watched on the street.
Coupled with the people picking up wedding coins all over the ground, wherever the bride-to-be team walks, the place becomes very lively, comparable to the Lantern Festival.
…
Yingzhou Yamen, Houzhai, Tang family.
Time goes back to the rising sun.
Liu Huixiang got up early, took a shower and changed clothes. Then, Tang Shuwan took her maid Minglan to dress her up in person.
In fact, on the wedding day, the bride also pays attention to a lot of things in dressing up, such as facial opening, reciting dressing poems, etc.
But firstly, several states in the south were suffering from floods, and secondly, Liu Huixiang was not the official wife, so everything was kept simple and many steps were omitted.
Mrs. Chen personally cooked a bowl of glutinous rice balls for Liu Huixiang's breakfast early in the morning. Tangyuan means sweetness and perfection...
For the next time, Liu Huixiang waited in the boudoir.
Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen were so busy that they did their best.
when!
Suddenly, Liu Huixiang heard the sound of gongs and drums.
It came from the street outside the house, faintly, getting closer and closer.
"The auspicious time is finally coming!"
She sat upright on the edge of the bed, holding the green bridal robe tightly with both hands. Her heart was inexplicably throbbing and nervous, her red lips parted slightly, and her breathing became faster.
Her mood at the moment was very complicated.
There was both excitement and apprehension.
Excitement is inevitable. Her experiences since growing up were replayed in front of her eyes. She once thought that she would never get married and was doomed to live alone...
As she thought about it, her eyes began to moisten, and a big tear rolled down... She suddenly realized that she was about to get on the sedan chair, but she couldn't let her tears ruin her makeup.
Uneasiness is inevitable.
The previous failed marriages were still before her eyes. Although the neighbors on Jiaolou Street said that she had become a prosperous husband, she was still afraid... what if...
Don't think too much!
Don't think too much!
Today is a big day, you must be happy.
Liu Huixiang wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, forced away the bad memories, and a bright smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth, waiting for the moment she boarded the sedan chair.
