Chapter 230 Marriage
If I really marry far away, I won't know when I will be able to meet my family again, and I will cry endlessly.
"Sister, I will miss you terribly every day you are not around. I will save all your favorite snacks for you."
Yin Miaoyin was really sad. She was happy and felt warm during the time that Gu Siqing accompanied her. Now that Gu Siqing was getting married, she knew that she could no longer do whatever she wanted to disturb her sister. How could she not be sad?
In the end, it was Hongniang who urged them again and again, saying that they must not miss the auspicious time, and Yin Miaoyin finally let go of Gu Siqing reluctantly.
Although Bai Ziyu's Bai Mansion is not a century-old family with deep roots in Yue State, relying on his reputation as a miracle doctor, many guests came to attend the wedding of his granddaughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Because of the prime minister's residence, many prominent families came to the banquet.
The wedding procession from the Xiang Mansion to the Bai Mansion was so long that it stretched for more than ten miles. Standing in front of the gate and looking back, one could not see the end of the procession at all.
"Daughter, after you marry into the Bai family, I hope you can live in harmony with Divine Doctor Bai, but there is no need to compromise yourself, mother..." Yin Yaoxin's voice choked with sobs before she could finish her words.
Gu Siqing felt sad, but there were many guests watching nearby, so she couldn't speak. She could only hold her mother's hand tightly to comfort her.
"It's time to get on the bridal sedan. Let Hongniang hold Siqing's hand." Zhen, who was standing by, stepped forward and took Yin Yaoxin's hand and reminded her softly.
Yin Yaoxin then wiped away her tears and reluctantly handed her daughter's hand to Hongniang to hold.
Gu Siqing was wearing a red veil and could not see the road ahead, so she was helped by Hongniang to sit in the bridal sedan.
This wedding was far more lively and dignified than when she married into the Marquis's Mansion. Not to mention anything else, the bridal sedan was more than twice as big as the one in the Marquis's Mansion.
Gu Siqing sat in the sedan chair, and only took off the red veil after the sedan chair was lifted. What caught her eyes was red. From the curtains to the cushions, everything in the sedan chair was red, and even the incense burner was tied with red silk.
Outside the bridal sedan, accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers, Hongniang's inaudible congratulatory speech was heard. In front of the bridal sedan, Bai Ziyu was riding a horse and leading the wedding procession.
Because it was late autumn, the curtains of the bridal sedan were made extra thick, so Gu Siqing couldn't see Bai Ziyu. She had never seen him riding a horse before, so she didn't know what his mood was at the moment.
Gu Siqing touched her heart in confusion. Her heart, like the loud sound of gongs and drums outside the sedan chair, was beating fast.
"Am I nervous?" It had been several years since she got married in her previous life, and Gu Siqing had somewhat forgotten how she felt when she got married.
At that time, no one knew what kind of person Tan Zhuoyan was. She sat in the sedan chair, her hands shaking with nervousness.
To be honest, this was clearly her second marriage and she had gone through all the procedures and etiquette. Why was she still so nervous when she sat in the bridal sedan today?
Does it mean that no matter how many times you get married, you will be nervous as long as it is related to this matter?
The wedding procession departed from the Xiangfu and arrived at the Baifu first, and the procession carrying the dowry followed closely from the Xiangfu, which shows how grand this wedding was. The Baifu held a banquet, and the seats were full.
The guests who came to watch the ceremony did not know that in addition to the people from Yue, there were also people from Qi among the guests.
The wedding procession arrived at the gate of Bai's mansion. Bai Ziyu dismounted and came to the bridal sedan. Hongniang lifted the curtain, led out the bride sitting inside, and handed the two ends of a red silk to each of them.
"Please invite the bride and groom into the hall to get married!" Hongniang's voice was clear and loud. Upon hearing the voice, everyone surrounded the newlyweds and walked into the front hall.
Gu Siqing was wearing a red veil and could only lower her head to barely see the ground beneath her feet. Bai Ziyu seemed to notice her caution and deliberately slowed down his pace, following her pace and leading her inside.
When crossing the fire basin, Gu Siqing's dress was a little long, so she tilted her body when crossing the fire basin. When she almost fell, a hand reached out to support her. A gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Gu Siqing's nerves, which had been tense all the way, relaxed when she heard Bai Ziyu's words. Gu Siqing couldn't help but laugh. Yes, why was she so nervous? With him around, what was there to be afraid of?
The two held hands holding red silk and got married in the hall in front of the guests. Bai Ziyu's parents had both passed away, so they were replaced by tablets.
With the help of matchmaker, Gu Siqing and Bai Ziyu followed the master of ceremonies' instructions and got married.
Unlike the fear and trepidation she felt when marrying Tan Zhuoyan in her previous life, when she was getting married to Bai Ziyu, Gu Siqing was particularly sincere and firm every time she kowtowed.
Gu Siqing couldn't describe what kind of strange feeling she had deep in her heart. When she got married, she sincerely hoped to get the protection of Bai Ziyu's parents and live a safe and peaceful life.
After the ceremony, Gu Siqing was sent back to the bridal chamber. After Bai Ziyu performed the wedding ceremony and the funeral rites with her, he went to the front hall to entertain the guests, while Gu Siqing waited for him to come back in the room.
Gu Siqing sat by the couch until nightfall, when she heard footsteps outside the room. She quickly put away the soft pillow in her arms, put on her red veil, and sat upright.
"My lady and I have concluded the formalities. You have also worked hard all day. You may all leave. You can come back to serve me when I am called." The first thing Bai Ziyu did when he returned to the house was to send the servants away.
The servants looked at each other, smiled mockingly at the same time, and retreated silently.
Hearing the servants' footsteps going away, Gu Siqing breathed a sigh of relief. The red veil in front of her was lifted up with a beam scale. Bai Ziyu looked at her gently, "Are you exhausted today?"
Under the candlelight, Bai Ziyu was dressed in a gorgeous and bright red wedding gown. He wore a golden crown on his head, which was different from his usual casual appearance and was unnaturally formal.
If he used to like to wear plain-colored clothes and looked like a banished immortal, today he looked like a demon who wanted to seduce people to give their hearts. Gu Siqing stared at the man in front of her without blinking. She had never seen Bai Ziyu like this before.
So seductive... so beautiful.
"It seems that my wife is very satisfied with my face. I feel relieved." Seeing that she was staring at him intently, Bai Ziyu was very satisfied and helped her take off the red veil.
"Well, I've never seen you wearing a wedding dress, but I think you look very good in it." Gu Siqing praised awkwardly.
Bai Ziyu smiled calmly, but did not tease her anymore. He helped her take off the flower crown on her head: "This thing looks good, but it's too heavy. I'll help you massage your shoulders later."
Gu Siqing sat obediently and let Bai Ziyu let her hair down.
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Ziyu took off the pearl hairpin on her head and carefully put it into the box.
"It's nothing. Let's take a shower, change clothes and rest early." Gu Siqing hesitantly said.
Bai Ziyu lowered his eyes to glance at her, nodded, and told someone to prepare hot water for bathing.
After the two of them bathed, it was already late at night when they turned off the lights and went to bed.
