Chapter 7

The tenth day of the second month in the third year of Ansheng.

Su Yinyin drank the sweet and warm milk in one gulp.

I've had breakfast!

Clean up!

Getting ready for the wedding banquet.

Three-year-old Su Yinyin has basically acquired the ability to take care of herself. She wiped her mouth with a small handkerchief, then ran to the kitchen with her small bowl in her arms.

The elder brother Su Xian is eleven years old this year. He took his sister's small bowl and washed his own bowl as well.

Today, the family of four all changed into decent clothes and prepared to attend the wedding banquet of the Ding and Liu families.

When Su Yinyin was less than a month old, my father's subordinate Ding Pengzheng verbally promised her marriage to the neighbor's sister, and they got engaged at the end of that year.

Now we are finally getting married.

The Su family is also considered a matchmaker, especially Su Yinyin. If it weren't for the need to take care of the children, this marriage between this talented man and beautiful woman would not have taken place.

The wedding cakes that the Ding family gave to the Liu family were made by Madam Su herself. They will be distributed to the guests at today's wedding banquet. His family will definitely go there.

The weather in February was much warmer. Su Yinyin held her brother's hand with one hand and her mother's hand with the other, but left her old father alone.

The old father sighed and had to follow behind with the gift.

The Ding and Liu families had made all the necessary preparations for their wedding. Many wedding characters were posted in Chang'an Lane where the bride lived, and the neighbors all received wedding candies. Firecrackers were set off every half an hour starting in the early morning.

It not only reminds you to put on makeup, but also reminds you of the time.

The Liu family was so busy that they couldn't stop. When they saw the Su family coming, they said quickly, "The flower eaves will be here soon. I feel so empty inside."

Seeing her eyes full of tears, Madam Su hurried forward and said, "If you hadn't kept complaining before, this would have been a big deal. Don't worry, we will all follow and watch it later."

"And me, I'll accompany the bride and will definitely not let anyone bully her!" Su Yinyin volunteered, she could even go into the bridal chamber to accompany her!

Aunt Liu touched Xiao Yinyin's head lovingly and said, "When you get married, I'm afraid I'll cry again."

It’s just Madam Su, Deputy Envoy Su, and brother Su Xian frowned immediately. Their hearts were broken at the thought of that possibility.

As they were talking, the Ding family’s flower eaves arrived.

The one who came forward was the groom, Ding Pengzheng. He was riding a borrowed tall horse, wearing a brand new red groom's suit, embroidered with the bride's handicraft, which was really amazing.

The bridal sedan chair following behind was carried by six people. The four sides of the sedan chair were not covered, only with a veil.

The top of the eaves was filled with fresh flowers, which smelled fresh and fragrant as you walked towards them. It was obvious that the flowers had been carefully arranged, as the man had started arranging them before dawn.

It’s the beginning of spring on the tenth day of February, and these flowers are not easy to come by.

Ding Peng, a subordinate of Deputy Envoy Su, had stiff limbs and almost fell when he got off his horse. When he saw his boss, he didn't say a word and went straight to the door of the girl's house and knocked.

The female guests around him bent over with laughter and insisted that he compose a poem to urge her to get ready.

Su Yinyin was delighted to see the excitement; it was her first time to see an ancient wedding.

I even witnessed the whole process from the time they met to their marriage!

Su Yinyin was short and couldn’t see the scene in front of her, so her father picked her up and put her on his shoulders.

See it this way!

The groom was teased and begged for mercy. With the help of the groom's brothers, he finally managed to see the bride.

Sister Liu was wearing a green dress decorated with gold patterns, holding a fan to cover her face, her face blushing, and was carried steadily by the groom to the eaves.

The music continued, and after the bride sat down, the ceremony and music became even more lively.

"The eaves are up!"

Aunt Liu and her husband took a few steps forward, tears rolling down their cheeks. They only stopped when supported by their son and daughter-in-law.

The groom did not leave immediately. He first comforted the bride who was also in tears, then went back to comfort his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Only after repeated urging did he leave.

As the lively wedding procession went away, Madam Su shook Aunt Liu's hand, feeling unhappy.

If her daughter got married like this, she would probably cry even harder.

This sadness was quickly stopped by the people around.

The neighbors who had not yet dispersed kept saying, "This son-in-law is great, he is very polite and a decent person."

"Aunt Liu, where did you find such a good son-in-law?"

"It's Yin Yin. I heard from the Liu family that her daughter went to take care of Yin Yin, who was not even a month old, and happened to run into Deputy Envoy Su's subordinates."

"Such a good marriage actually came about in this way."

Many people joked, "Xiao Yinyin, please find me a matchmaker too."

"My son hasn't married yet, come and enjoy the good fortune."

Brother Su Xian directly hugged his sister in his arms, who dared to get close? !

Fortunately, the carriage prepared by the man arrived and he quickly invited the female guests to get on the carriage and attend the banquet.

The male elder who was in charge of the reception was still apologizing: "Nephew Ding was too nervous and didn't greet you just now. I will definitely let him come to drink with you later."

Deputy Envoy Su didn't care about this and waved his hand: "It's a happy day, so don't talk about this."

The man's elders breathed a sigh of relief. They had always heard that their nephew's boss was a very nice person. It turned out to be true. Then they thanked Madam Su: "The wedding cakes you made are excellent. When we gave them out, everyone praised them."

After some polite exchanges, Su Xian and Su Yinyin were stuffed with two red envelopes.

Especially Su Yinyin's, which is obviously much thicker.

Who arranged this marriage?

Why?

Why do you all say that?

The carriage took the family of four directly to the garden where the wedding banquet was held.

The Ding family’s wedding banquet was not held at home.

His family is not from Bian Jing. The whole family came here for Ding Pengzheng's marriage, so they don't have a fixed residence.

Over the past three years, Ding Peng worked many late nights and borrowed some money from his colleagues and superiors to buy a small house not far from Chang'an Lane in Xicheng District to settle down.

But the small house is only big enough for the newlyweds. If there are more people, it will be crowded and it will certainly not be possible to hold a banquet.

When Prince Ning, the commander of West City, heard about this, he ordered one of his gardens in the western suburbs to be vacated and a special area was designated for his subordinates to hold the wedding there.

Prince Ning is happy to help with such an important matter in life.

It was just a small favor for Prince Ning, but it solved a big problem for the Ding family.

The prince’s garden was indeed grand and spacious. Even if only a part of it was allocated, it would be enough to amaze the relatives and friends of both sides.

Su Yinyin was also shocked by the garden in front of her.

Pavilions, waterside terraces, winding corridors, and the faint fragrance of flowers.

Ceremonies and wedding banquets are all held here.

Wow, this place is really beautiful.

It can be used as a special wedding banquet hall.

If it were in modern times, you would probably have to make a reservation a year in advance.

Deputy Envoy Su and his family were invited to the front to watch the ceremony, block the door, scatter beans, step on the green cloth, hold the mirror and ride on the saddle, and finally welcome the bride into the house.

After all the customs, Su Yinyin watched with great interest.

The elders invited by the Ding family from the clan really have their own set of procedures and they arranged the whole process in an orderly manner.

After entering the door, the familiar worship of heaven and earth began. Aunt Liu couldn't stop crying and could only hold Madam Su's hand tightly. After the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, the bride's family had to stop.

Sister Liu was a little flustered, and Su Yinyin immediately followed with her short legs, gently pulling her sister's sleeve.

She is with you!

Don’t be afraid, sister!

The Su family was also guests of the man's family, so it was not impolite for her to accompany them.

The Liu family breathed a sigh of relief, and the Ding family also breathed a sigh of relief.

She is worthy of being called the lucky star who brings together marriages. It’s great to have her around.

Sister Liu held Su Yinyin's soft little hand and walked steadily into the bridal chamber. With someone familiar accompanying them, the following procedures went smoothly.

When the banquet started outside, Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief and held Su Yinyin's hand: "Thanks to you for being here."

Su Yinyin realized that she had done nothing, so she quickly said, "Sister is very capable, it doesn't matter whether I am here or not."

Sister Liu hugged three-year-old Su Yinyin. The little girl was someone she had watched grow up since she was a child, and she was so well-behaved.

It would be amazing if she had a baby like this.

After a while, food was delivered and it was announced that the banquet was about to begin, so we could relax.

Su Yinyin yawned.

She looked tired at the end of the day.

As if infected by Su Yinyin, Sister Liu took her to eat some snacks, and the two of them fell into a deep sleep.

When Su Yinyin woke up in a daze, it was dark outside. Sister Liu was breathing evenly and sleeping more soundly.

Yes, the bride has to get up before dawn, so she must be very tired.

Su Yinyin got up quietly without disturbing Sister Liu, but she happened to see Ding Pengzheng sneaking into the room drunk.

Ding Peng was a little drunk and his face turned red. He didn't expect that there was someone else in the bridal chamber.

Ding Peng was at a loss as to what to do and had no idea how to explain it to the three-year-old kid.

Or no explanation needed?

It's just a little doll.

Su Yinyin, who had just woken up, was also dumbfounded. Did she, did she disturb other people's good things?

Su Yinyin's short legs immediately jumped under the bed and said, "Brother Ding, I'm leaving! You stay with Sister Liu!"

Without waiting for the groom to react, the little short legs ran away as fast as they could.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to take you there." Ding Peng was in a hurry, trying to find someone to escort the little baby from Deputy Envoy Su's family to the banquet hall. He just turned his head and looked at the bride who had just woken up.

Both of them blushed.

Su Yinyin trotted out and shivered when the spring night breeze blew.

Looked around.

What a big garden.

So where is this?

Only one-fifth of the Ning County Prince's garden is set aside, and it can accommodate several hundred guests. The rest of the area is lush and green, with excellent scenery.

Unfortunately, it is a sight to behold during the day, but quite scary at night.

Su Yinyin walked left and right, and finally confirmed that she was lost.

The three-year-old couldn't believe it.

Then she looked at the trees around her that were taller than her, rustling in the wind.

Listen carefully, is there anyone still crying?

Su Yinyin held back her tears.

Is that a human or a ghost?

The crying became louder and louder, and Su Yinyin shook even more violently.

A gust of wind blew by, and the sound of the two people seemed to be there and not there. It was definitely a scene that would appear in a horror movie!!!

Su Yinyin secretly moved her feet. She wanted to find her mother, her father, and her brother.

I took half a step back and bumped into someone's chest. It was hard, as if it was all bone.

All bones?!

It can’t be a skeleton ghost!

Su Yinyin's tears fell down, she covered her eyes and didn't dare to look at all.

The skinny fingers wiped across Su Yinyin's chubby face, and the six-year-old child said, "Don't cry."

After that, he added: "I am a human, not a skeleton ghost."

Eh? Did she just speak out her true feelings?

As the words fell, the crying in the distance stopped and the conversation became clear.

"It's impossible now. My father, he absolutely doesn't want to do this."

"My mother also refused to give in. She said that our two families were enemies for generations and she would never agree."

"Even if we die, we will be together."

"Okay, in the next life, we must be husband and wife."

???

Su Yinyin looked in the direction of the sound in shock, and saw a man and a woman standing on the bridge at night.

Listening to their conversation, are they going to commit suicide for love???
