Chapter 316 Wedding Ceremony

September 30th, very auspicious.

At the beginning of the year, Gu Nan was pulled up by his aunts to wash and dress, and Chunyi was rushed into the kitchen to help prepare the dishes for the wedding banquet.

Although we get up early, the actual grooming process is very simple. There is no exaggerated makeup in the village. A bun, two hairpins and a bracelet are a good outfit.

In less than an hour, Gu Nan covered his head with the veil and sat on the bed.

The entire process was kept simple. Next, she only needed to walk around the village and worship heaven and earth, and today's task would be completed.

Fearing that she would be bored, the two aunts chatted with her and told her some things to pay attention to on her wedding night.

But Gu Nan was not really going to have a wedding night, so he was a little bit out of spirits.

She is miserable, and Junyi is even more miserable.

Gu Nan has already started looking forward to Chunyi’s expression when she finds out that they can’t have their wedding night together tonight. It’s bound to be exciting.

Gu Nan laughed heartlessly.

The two aunts heard her laughter and joked, "Are you so happy about getting married?"

Gu Nan stroked the pattern on his sleeve and said with a smile, "Yes."

Her aunt noticed her movements and affectionately sat down beside her, took her wrist, and after examining her carefully, she praised, "I've never seen the style of your wedding dress before. The material is generous and the craftsmanship is excellent. Did you embroider it yourself? Can you teach me someday?"

"He embroidered it." Gu Nan looked at the sleeve that was completely pulled open in front of him, and felt vaguely that he had seen the pattern on it somewhere before, but the next second the sleeve was put down, and the spiritual light disappeared.

"I never thought Xiao Gu had such skills." Auntie sighed, patted Gu Nan's hand and said sincerely: "Anan has found a good husband."

Gu Nan smiled, pulled up his sleeves and looked again, but he couldn't see any pattern.

She once asked Chunyi what he was embroidering, but he didn't tell her, so she stopped asking and put the matter behind her. Until she put on the wedding dress, she didn't know what the patterns represented.

Chunyi worked day and night, racing against time, and whenever she had a little free time, she would pick up the needle and thread. She was busy on this wedding dress for more than half a month.

At that time, they had not yet communicated with each other, and the atmosphere between them was even tense. I wonder what kind of mood he was in when he put down the needle and sewed.

Gu Nan realized that he seemed to care less about him than he thought.

The wedding procession was full of music and joy.

Gu Nan was helped to the door and Chunyi carried him to sit on the ox cart tied with red silk cloth.

The weddings in the village are not very elaborate, but they are lively. Almost every household has someone following the procession, eating wedding candies and fruits, and saying auspicious words. There are many joyful laughters at every step, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly warm.

After worshipping heaven and earth, Gu Nan's side became quiet.

She lifted a corner of her veil and looked carefully at the newly decorated bridal chamber.

The bed was a newly made carved canopy bed with red silk flowers hanging on both sides. The quilt was also a newly made wedding quilt, covered with dried fruits and a hundred blessings quilt. A pair of brand new red candles were placed on the table, burning brightly at the moment.

All the furniture in the house are decorated with wedding characters, the colors are bright red, and the light is bright. Even in the quiet place, there is a special kind of liveliness.

Even though she knew it was just a procedure, she still couldn't help but feel a little moved.

She got married.

They called their neighbors and friends, worshipped heaven and earth, and got married in a real way.

From today on, she will have someone close to her and with whom she can connect deeply.

She now has a home in this mortal world that she personally participated in building, and every detail of which is to her liking.

She couldn't explain her mood at the moment, but she knew she was not calm.

Slowly, in the hustle and bustle of a mixture of bustle and silence, tension and uneasiness overwhelmed reason.

She didn't know what the outcome would be between her and Junyi after today, nor did she know how long the joy she felt at this moment would last. She only told herself that she had come this far and should not regret it no matter what.

Both the host and the guests were very happy and the wedding banquet ended.

It was still early and the sky was bright, far from the wedding night, but the villagers were ordinary people. They could not stop Chunyi or force him to drink. They could only watch him carrying the wine jug into the bridal chamber.

As the door closed, there was a loud booing.

The other villagers who helped simply cleaned up the leftover dishes, returned the borrowed tables and chairs to each family, swept the yard briefly, and left happily with the red envelopes.

The voices gradually faded away, and this corner at the end of the village became completely quiet.

The red candle burned quietly, illuminating the firecracker fragments that floated into the room, making it feel lonely and ambiguous.

Junyi stood at the door and looked at Gu Nan who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Today was her wedding day, and she was unusually polite, sitting quietly without saying a word. Only the tassels on her veil swayed slightly, reminding him to take it off quickly.

He walked over and sat down, calming his increasingly violent heartbeat before raising his hand to lift the veil.

The veil was half lifted and was pinned by a hairpin. With a little force, Gu Nan's head was pulled away by him.

In a panic, he stood up suddenly and bumped into the bed frame, knocking the red silk flower hanging in the middle away.

"Don't be anxious, take your time, and don't shake your hands." Gu Nan reminded in a gentle voice.

Junyi looked down and realized that his hands were shaking. His hands were shaking, and Liusu was shaking, almost leaving an afterimage.

Junyi: “…”

He took a deep breath, sat down again, carefully pulled out the thread that was caught by the hairpin, and lifted up the annoying red cloth.

In the bright red light, he met a pair of gentle and clear eyes, maintaining the posture of raising his hands and was stunned for a moment.

When he met Gu Nan for the first time, he saw her wearing a wedding dress. For Jiang Wanying's safety, she looked fierce and violent.

During several subsequent quarrels, she revealed her true form to intimidate him, looking like a cruel and merciless ghost.

But today is different. The wedding dress that was filled with despair and resentment and turned her into a ghost seems to have been completely covered by a new wedding dress.

The intricate patterns he had sewed by hand supported her layer upon layer, like a gentle and charming flower, beautiful and tranquil, gathering strength to bloom again.

At this moment, she was just an ordinary bride.

Chunyi used his eyes to describe Gu Nan's appearance over and over again, and said in a hoarse voice, "I should have let you wear this dress a long time ago."

"I shouldn't have let you wear this dress if I had known." Gu Nan said disdainfully, "It's so ugly."

Junyi's clothes were not tailored at all, they were just a red sack, which wasted his good figure.

Junyi laughed, neither refuting nor defending himself.

He took out their marriage certificate, cut his fingertips, drew a talisman with blood, then pinched his fingers and set it on fire, letting it turn to ashes in his palm.

He bent down and poured two glasses of wine, splitting the ashes in half and placing them into the wine.

Gu Nan: "What is this for?"

"This is the monk's marriage contract."

The marriage certificate was attached with his blood and a wisp of Gu Nan's soul, and a talisman was used to confirm their engagement. From now on, the two of them would be in harmony with each other and share weal and woe.

He offered one cup to Gu Nan and took the other himself.

Gu Nan smiled and said, "Are you finally willing to break your vow and drink?"

Previously, Junyi didn't drink a drop of wine when entertaining guests outside, and was scolded several times for being a drunkard.

Chunyi smiled and replied, "Wedding wine."

The wedding wine comes only once in a lifetime, so you must drink it.

The two men linked arms and drank the wine in one gulp.
