Chapter 162 Wedding

Shen Shixu was worried before whether his father and mother would not be able to adapt to the capital, but seeing that they went out every day to work on their dowry and did not seem to be uncomfortable at all, he felt relieved.

In addition, in order to let Shen Shixu concentrate on preparing for his wedding banquet, 011 decided not to let Shen Shixu know about it for a month so as not to divert his attention.

Without these melons, Shen Shixu was fine, but the officials who attended the court and Emperor Wu'an were very uncomfortable with it, as they could usually eat melons during court sessions.

Although some are big, some are small, they can relieve their mood and make the court less boring and depressing.

As a result, this month the place has returned to its previous lifeless state, which is really hard for them to get used to.

Everyone was looking forward to the day when Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi would get married. They couldn't wait to watch the wedding.

After everyone's anticipation, the day of their wedding finally arrived.

June 28th is a good day for everything.

Both Prince Jing's Mansion and Shen's Mansion were surrounded by the people. The day before, Shen's Mansion sent a dowry to Prince Jing's Mansion, which caused quite a stir in the capital.

It was obvious that the box was specially customized. It was incredibly large and filled to the brim with things. The weight was so heavy that it bent an adult's thigh and made it impossible for an ordinary strong man to lift it.

It was Xiao Jinyi who ordered his soldiers to carry it. It was the first time in history that a group of people in armor delivered the dowry!

Many people came out to watch, and they also knew that the two would get married tomorrow. Seeing how much dowry was prepared, they felt that the Shen family was indeed a wealthy family and was very generous.

They all thought that they must join in the fun tomorrow and ask for some wedding money.

When Xiao Jinyi came to pick up the bride, he asked Mo Yu to scatter copper coins along the way. From Prince Jing's Mansion to Chen's Mansion, he scattered hundreds of taels of silver along the way.

The people who followed along to pick up copper coins were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

Because Shen Shixu was a man, he did not wear a veil or heavy makeup. He simply washed his face and used rouge to deepen the color of his lips. That was it.

Shen's father, Shen's mother, and Shen Zexi had been accompanying him in his room. Seeing him wearing a red dress and a luxurious ruby ​​crown, he really looked very handsome.

Mother Shen put her hands on Shen Shixu's shoulders, looking at Shen Shixu in his blazing red clothes, she felt very proud, but also felt reluctant and sad that he was about to become someone else's family.

"My baby is going to become someone else's today. I can't help but shed tears when I think about it."

Mother Shen quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes. Shen Shixu stood up and stepped forward to support her shoulders and said, "Mom, don't be too sad. Now that you have settled in the capital, you are close. I can come back whenever I want."

"Even so, I still feel sad. I don't want to hand over the child I raised with so much effort to someone else."

Father Shen sighed and stepped forward, holding her hand and said, "Today is our son's big day, so please don't cry. If it gets out, not only will people laugh at you, but it will also be bad for Ah Xu."

When Shen's mother heard that it might be bad for Shen Shixu, she immediately held back her tears.

While Shen's father was comforting Shen's mother, Shen Zexi came over and told Shen Shixu, "Be more careful when you get married, and don't let others bully you. If you are wronged, go home. Your family will always be your strongest support. Don't wrong yourself. You must tell us if there is anything wrong."

Shen Shixu listened to his instructions and looked at everyone's reluctant expressions. His eyes couldn't help but turn red, but he forced himself not to cry and said to them with a smile.

"I know everything. Don't worry, I will be fine."

Just as Shen Shixu comforted them, Xiao Shitou rushed in in a hurry, "Master, Madam, and Young Master, Prince Jing is already outside the mansion, Young Master Jiang Bin and the others are blocking the door, let me call the eldest young master over."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zexi quickly followed Xiao Shitou to the main gate. Jiang Bin, An Chengyu, and Jiang Miaokong, as Shen Shixu's apprentices, were leaning against the door to block it, not allowing Xiao Jinyi to come in easily.

Jiang Bin took advantage of the fact that today was a happy day and hoped that Xiao Jinyi would not beat him, so he kept making trouble.

"Cousin, you don't think it's that easy to marry my master, do you? My master is the top scholar, and his literary talent is unparalleled. As the husband of the top scholar, cousin, you must be able to write poetry!

Cousin, I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you come up with a poem that expresses your current mood, I will let you in immediately. ”

Xiao Jinyi is not good at composing poetry, but he is not the only one coming to welcome the bride today. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are all here. When the Fourth Prince heard what Jiang Bin said, he immediately thought of a poem for Xiao Jinyi.

"They fly like Guanju birds, and their twin petals bloom side by side."

When Xiao Jinyi finished talking about the Fourth Prince helping him think, he asked with a smile, "The poem is finished, can I go in now?"

This time it was not Jiang Bin who spoke up, but An Chengyu, "No way~ The prince is going to be our master soon, shouldn't you show some respect?"

Xiao Jinyi asked Bai He to stuff the red envelope through the crack of the door. An Chengyu immediately squatted down to pick it up. He put it on himself first and would share it with his other brothers after the wedding banquet.

After passing An Chengyu's test, there was still Jiang Miaokong's test, "Your Highness, you have to say ten idioms praising my master before you can enter."

"That's easy!" Xiao Jinyi didn't ask anyone for help this time, he said a lot on his own, so educated that he didn't seem like himself at all.

"Graceful, talented, well-read, knowledgeable, graceful, talented, handsome, outstanding, stunning, and extraordinary..."

Xiao Jinyi also added a few extra idioms.

Several disciples were defeated one after another, but the door was still not opened. As a good friend of Shen Shixu, Ronghua came over to help block the door.

At this time, he played something a little different, "Your Majesty, you must be prepared. My questions are much more pointed than theirs."

"Ahem, please listen to the question. Who is in charge of the money in the family?"

"Of course it's Xu!"

"What if you two have a fight?"

"We won't quarrel. I will listen to Ah Xu."

"If Shixu is wronged, will you stand on his side?"

"That's for sure!"

After Ronghua finished asking, he said to Shen Zexi who was blocking the door next to him, "Hurry up and find someone to write down the questions I just asked and his answers, and then send them to him through the crack of the door and ask him to sign and seal them."

Ronghua's move made Shen Zexi stunned. Ronghua saw that he was stunned and yelled at him, "Hurry up and go. This will be a guarantee of timing from now on."

Shen Zexi quickly asked someone to bring paper and pen, and personally copied what he had just said on the paper, added a few sentences, blew the ink dry, and passed it through the crack of the door.

"Here is the document. Sign it and I'll let you in."
