"Hey...you kid."
The women were caught off guard by Chen Kan's actions.
"What's going on? Is this the makeup these aunts gave you just this morning?"
Mrs. Zheng slapped Chen Kan on the head and saw that the makeup on his face was completely stained.
An anxious look suddenly appeared on his face.
"You kid is about to get married, why can't you come in time now?"
After she finished speaking, she pulled Chen Kan to sit in front of the bronze mirror and called to the women: "Hurry, hurry, help, put on makeup again!"
Chen Kan rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Master's wife, mother, I'm begging you, wouldn't it be nice if I just went to pick her up like this?"
Chen Kan looked at himself in the bronze mirror. His nose was straight, his face was handsome, and his fair skin made him look like a yandere male protagonist.
With this face, when he went to the Qinhuai River, all the sisters would not praise him as a handsome man.
Why do these aunts have to turn into monkey butts for him?
As soon as Chen Kan said this, he immediately aroused criticism from the women.
"How can this work? Such a beautiful makeup is ruined like this."
"You kid, it's true. Why are you dissatisfied? Tell us, why are you burying your face in the water?"
"Sit down quickly and we'll re-transform you. Don't miss the right moment."
"..."
Seeing that the women were about to torture him with various tools, Chen Kan quickly ran out of the new house with his head in his hands.
He suddenly felt that it would be nice to be married or not.
At worst, we'll be in love for the rest of our lives.
The official responsible for serving as the praise officer was sent by the Ministry of Rites, and he was guarding the door of Chen Kan's room.
As soon as Chen Kan goes out, he will start leading Chen Kan through a series of procedures.
However, as soon as he blinked, he saw something red running past him.
"Groom officer?"
The praise officer was shocked and hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "Sir, Master Chen, wait a minute, wait for me."
Running into the yard, Chen Kan seemed to hear someone calling him.
When he looked back, he saw a green-robed official chasing him until he was out of breath.
Could it be that he is the master's lackey?
"Hey, Dog Officer, stop!"
Chen Kan shouted loudly, and the official was stunned and stopped obediently.
"Sir, I..."
"What are you doing? I will never give in."
The official gasped and said, "Sir, I am Zan. Without me, you are destined not to be able to hold this wedding today."
"Praise?"
Chen Kan thought for a while and found that this was really the case.
"Oh, that's it. Are you tired from running?"
Facing Chen Kan's hypocritical greeting, the praise officer said with a gloomy look: "Sir, please come with me. If you miss the right time, it will be too late."
Various ceremonial guards for welcoming the bride had been prepared outside the door. Chen Kan walked out of the door with hesitant words of praise and saw that Fang Zhongxian and Fang Zhongyu were already waiting.
As soon as Chen Kan appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on his face.
The praise officer was afraid that Chen Kan would make another mistake, so he shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come~"
The long tail note immediately attracted the attention of the guests in the living room.
Fang Xiaoru took the lead, and a large number of nobles poured out of the living room, looking at Chen Kan who was standing at the gate at a loss with a smile.
Fang Xiaoru had told him the wedding process many times, but at this moment, Chen Kan found that his mind was completely confused.
"The auspicious time has arrived, let's set off and welcome the bride!"
Seeing that everyone noticed the movement in front of the door, the praise officer shouted again.
Chen Kan subconsciously looked at Fang Xiaoru and saw a hint of encouragement on his face. After nodding heavily, he turned over and climbed onto the tall horse.
There are still guests coming to Chen's house continuously. The Fang brothers will act as his best grooms today. They and Chen Kan left, and the task of welcoming the guests fell to Yuncheng.
Fortunately, the Chen Mansion was formerly the Hou Mansion and was relatively large, otherwise it might not be able to accommodate so many guests.
Chen Kan didn't know why he suddenly had so many old relatives and friends, but he expected that the fact that so many people came to the Chen residence this time had something to do with Fang Xiaoru.
Many people probably came here for his face.
Especially those people dressed in green shirts and dressed as Confucian scholars, Chen Kan had never seen them before.
The grand elegant music sounded, and the wedding team of hundreds of people left the Chen Mansion and headed towards the Princess Mansion at the end of Wuyi Lane.
If we follow the normal process, the people in the Chen Mansion only need to send Chen Kan to the Princess Mansion. After all, he is the consort.
But Chen Kan made up his mind to get married in the Chen Mansion, and the last of the six rites, the personal welcome, had to be followed according to the procedure.
Wedding, also called evening ceremony.
It means a ceremony held at dusk.
The wedding team from the Chen Mansion set off from the Chen Mansion at noon and would take the bride back to the mansion at dusk.
Although the distance between Chen Mansion and Princess Mansion is less than ten miles, the time is still very tight.
Because she was a royal bride, almost all the people in the city poured into Wuyi Alley, resulting in a huge crowd in the originally wide Wuyi Alley. Half an hour after Chen's wedding team came out, they had not even gone a mile away.
In the cold and windy weather of winter, it was rare for the praise officer to break out in sweat.
With so many people stuck on the road, if he couldn't take the princess back to the Chen Mansion before dusk, it would be a major mistake in his wedding ceremony career.
Not to mention that if you miss the auspicious time, your Majesty will definitely punish you.
Punishing a crime is a small matter, but ruining your reputation is a big deal.
"Everyone, today is the princess's happy day. Please make way for the welcoming team to pass."
The hoarse roar of praise seemed so insignificant in the crowd.
Because the Chen family's servants sprinkled handfuls of wedding money from time to time, attracting people to rush for it.
Li Zan said anxiously: "Sir, you can't give away any more money."
Chen Kan was riding on his horse, feeling disgusted as he looked at a group of people who were even more excited than him, the bridegroom official.
I don't know how excited they are, and it's not like they are getting married.
"Fang Xu."
"My subordinate is here."
"Evacuate the people."
"yes!"
Chen Kan gave an order, and Fang Xu led the captains of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, like wolves entering a flock of sheep, clearing a path in the alley with three strokes, five divided by two.
Chen Kan rode on his horse, raised his hands to the people on both sides of the road and said, "Fellow folks, I appreciate your blessings.
Today, the Princess Mansion and the Chen Mansion will hold a large banquet outside the palace gate. I hope all the fellow villagers will appreciate it. Now, please step aside and let me take the bride home first. "
After saying that, Chen Kan took the lead and rode off.
Seeing that there was no money to pick up, the people consciously made way for the team to pick up the bride.
