Chapter 212: Bowing to Heaven and Earth
Shen Jiaheng bent his knees steadily and gently put his sister down.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhen and Tuoba Ning came forward, one on the left and one on the right, and helped Shen Jiasui to Jiang Xun's side.
Jiang Xun only saw the flaming red wedding dress moving towards him like flowing clouds, and the jingling of pearls and jade struck his heart again and again.
They both knelt in front of Shen Zhengsheng and Ji Wan.
"bye--"
Jiang Xun touched the ground with his forehead and bowed once, twice, and three times.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I, Jiang Xun, am grateful for your kindness and marrying Sui Sui as my wife. I will treat you like a treasure and spend my life with you. I will also respect you as my own parents and enjoy your company to repay your kindness."
His voice trembled slightly, and was extremely pious and earnest. He bowed for the last time and did not stand up for a long time.
Shen Zhengsheng suppressed the bitterness and reluctance in his heart, leaned over to help Jiang Xun up, patted his shoulders heavily, and said, "Okay, okay."
Shen Jiasui was kneeling beside her, the big red veil blocking her view. She could only see her mother's hands on her knees, her knuckles white from clenching, and a handkerchief tightly clenched in her palm, which had already been wet with tears.
Her heart trembled, but she heard a loud voice from the side: "It's a good time and beautiful scenery. The bride is leaving the house for her new home. The wedding procession should slow down. Don't worry about your parents. The bride is leaving!"
In an instant, the sound of gongs and drums rang out, and cheers diluted the solemnity and sadness in the hall.
Shen Jiasui was helped out. Ji Wan suddenly stood up and followed him for two steps, then hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief to suppress the sob that was about to burst out of her throat.
When the women nearby saw this scene, they wiped the tears from their eyes with handkerchiefs, their eyes full of emotion.
All the guests followed the newlyweds and went out one after another, and the hall became empty in an instant.
At this time, Shen Zhengsheng stepped forward and gently pulled Ji Wan's hand. The couple looked at each other, tears welling up in their eyes, and they were filled with relief.
As soon as the bride steps out of the house, the wedding procession starts playing suona loudly and beating gongs and drums loudly, as if to inform the whole world.
Shen Jiasui had long lost track of directions and was helped into the bridal sedan amidst shouts of "The time has come, get on board, bride!"
The moment the curtain of the sedan chair fell, the noise was blocked out, but the festive sounds of drums and music could still be clearly heard.
Swaying and babbling.
Shen Jiasui quietly lifted the veil in front of him, and saw that the walls of the sedan were all carefully wrapped with scarlet silk, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water and twin lotus flowers, which looked lifelike.
There were also a few strings of small golden bells hanging on the top of the sedan, which were making clear and pleasant jingling sounds.
There was a thick brocade quilt under my feet, which was soft to the touch and had embroidered peonies in full bloom.
Every detail is carefully crafted and every detail is exquisitely crafted.
Shen Jiasui's heart gradually warmed up. He stretched out his foot to touch the blooming peony, then reached out his hand to touch the hanging golden bells, and then gently stroked the mandarin ducks playing in the water on the wall of the sedan chair, and suddenly burst out laughing.
She could also embroider mandarin ducks playing in the water, but her mother said that what she embroidered was called wild birds fluttering in the water, which made her laugh so hard that she rolled on the couch.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui's eyes became red again.
After a long time, she bit her lip and secretly used her fingers to hook open a corner of the curtain.
Looking out through the small gap, her eyes were instantly attracted by the tall figure in front of her.
Jiang Xun was riding on a tall horse, wearing a black gauze turban on his head. The brim of his hat bounced up and down with the horse's pace. The afternoon sun shone on his body, and he looked very proud and elated.
But he seemed to have sensed something at this moment, and turned his head with a smile, which scared Shen Jiasui so much that he retracted his fingers.
In the fiery red sedan, the bride's face turned red with shame. She was so nervous and expectant that she didn't know how long the sedan had been traveling.
At this time, someone shouted: "Here it comes, here it comes! The wedding sedan is coming!"
The surroundings were boiling in an instant.
In front of the Anyang Earl’s Mansion, a group of relatives and friends were looking in, and children were laughing and running around in the crowd.
The wedding sedan finally arrived at the gate of the mansion. The best man stepped forward quickly and shouted:
"Get off the sedan chair——"
The crowd around gathered around at once, cheers and laughter mixed together.
The firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound, and red confetti flew all over the sky, as if it was a festive red snow.
"Please ask the bride to come out of the sedan chair——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jiasui felt that the scene in front of him became much brighter. It turned out that it was Zhao Huaizhen who lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
At this time, the bridesmaid, who had been prepared, immediately handed one end of the red silk to Shen Jiasui and smiled and said:
"Hold tight, bride!"
The red silk is soft in texture, and its color is as rich and bright as flame under the setting sun.
Jiang Xun stood in front of the sedan chair and took the other end of the red silk.
There was a hint of urgency in his movements. His slender fingers tightly grasped the red silk, and then - he gently pulled it.
A subtle traction reached the other end of the red silk. Shen Jiasui's hand moved along with it. His heart was pounding, and he pulled it back slightly. х
Jiang Xun felt as if his heart was gripped, his eyes fell on the person in the sedan, unable to move away even a little bit.
At this time, Shen Jiasui, supported by Zhao Huaizhen, took light steps and followed the red silk to slowly step out of the sedan chair.
Everyone made way for the newlyweds, who entered the mansion and walked towards the main hall. They stepped over the fire basin to ward off evil spirits, stepped on tiles to break bad luck, shot arrows to protect the house, washed their bodies and minds, and went through all kinds of auspicious ceremonies.
As the main worship hall was in sight, the bridegroom beside them took a deep breath. When Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun stepped onto the white jade tiles at the same time, congratulations echoed throughout the courtyard.
"When the Yang starts to move, the two surnames will be harmonious. When three are in abundance, four beauties will be present. In the fifth generation, it will be the first to seek fortune-telling."
"The six rites are complete, the seven sages are assembled, the eight notes are put together, the nine harmonies are sung, and the ten are complete and perfect."
As soon as he finished speaking, the newlyweds walked into the wedding hall.
Shouts were heard everywhere. Through the red veil, Shen Jiasui's vision was blurry and he felt dizzy.
At this time, a gentle and soothing voice came from the hustle and bustle:
"Sui Sui, are you tired? Just wait a little longer and pay your respects to heaven and earth."
Shen Jiasui shook his head slightly, then nodded.
She didn't feel tired, she just...
Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiasui shaking his head and nodding, and he was unsure for a moment. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. Just as he was about to ask again, the voice of the best man came:
"The auspicious time has arrived. The newlyweds step forward, and all the heavens and the earth come to bear witness."
The setting sun shines through the vermilion window frames, and the wedding candles in the room illuminate every corner.
The hall was already full of guests.
In the hall right in front, the Anyang Earl and his wife were sitting upright.
At this moment, Anyang Bo's square face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, his eyes were full of tears, but he was trying hard not to let them fall.
The wife of the Marquis of Anyang also attended the event in her best attire. She rarely wore pearls and jade, but her face was already covered with traces of tears.
In the VIP seats on one side, the little grandson of the emperor, Zhao Yuanye, was wearing a golden crown, his little face full of excitement and excitement, and he was talking to Old Lin beside him.
Elder Lin finally changed out of his plain robe today. While responding to Zhao Yuanye, his eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Xun and Shen Jiasui, with a smile on his face and eyes filled with love and joy.
At this time, the best man's loud voice sounded:
"Once you bow to heaven and earth, heaven and earth will decide your marriage."
"bye--"
