Chapter 220 You Can Return Slowly

The big ship docked smoothly. Chen Shiyi had already been covered with a veil by the bridesmaid and helped into the sedan chair that had been prepared on the big ship. Eight people lifted him up and swayed him off the ship.

Chen Shiyi sat in the sedan chair, which was covered with a red cloth. He could only hear the noise of people outside, which was extremely lively.

Occasionally I heard the voices of Lan Qinghe and Cui Yongan. Are they coming from the northwest?

Chen Shiyi's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

These are all her relatives.

"Eleven, I'm here."

When she heard Pei Luoshu's voice, the tension and discomfort in her heart immediately disappeared.

"good."

The entire Jiangzhou city knew that the prefect was getting married today. The streets were packed with people, all waiting to grab the wedding candies and cakes to share in the joyous atmosphere.

The road from the pier to the prefect's residence was covered with red carpets, and all the shops on both sides were hung with festive red lanterns.

Pei Luo's sparse black hair was tied up and fixed with a gilded hair crown. He was wearing a bright red straight wedding dress. His back was straight. The good mood of getting married made his face look even more beautiful. He looked handsome and noble and calm.

He clasped his fists in return to all those who came to congratulate him, and then turned to look at the sedan chair behind him. In that eight-person sedan chair sat his young love, the love of his life now and for the rest of his life. It was the belief that he had finally gotten what he wanted despite having failed to get her several times but sticking to his original aspiration.

His wishes came true, with candles lit in the bridal chamber, his life was complete on this day.

A few young men in the lead, holding baskets, distributed wedding candies and cakes to passers-by everywhere, leading the way. Behind them, there was a huge dragon, slowly walking along the street they had cleared.

Wedding signs, carriages, gold plates, dressing tables, shoulder poles, maids... slowly poured into the gate of the mansion that Pei Luoshu had carefully prepared.

Chen Shiyi swayed in the sedan chair for a long time, and finally stopped at some point.

The sedan chair tilted, and she put her hand on it. The palm of his broad hand was wet, and he held her tightly, fearing that she would fall.

Her mind was a little confused today. She did whatever others told her to do and knelt down when asked to do so, even though she didn't know to whom she was kneeling.

After worshipping heaven and earth, she was escorted to the bridal chamber. Chen Shiyi held the red ribbon in both hands, but was pulled inside by a large, wet hand.

He sat her down on the soft wedding bed. In Jiangzhou there was a custom of spreading the quilt, and under the quilt were spread auspicious things such as peanuts, dates, longans, and lotus seeds.

Chen Shiyi was wearing a veil and could hear Pei Luoshu's clear voice sound a little hoarse.

"Eleven, please sit down. I'm going to go outside to entertain the guests. Wait for me to come back and drink the wedding wine."

"good."

The bridesmaid had been saying auspicious words for such a long time without repeating a word. She hadn't said enough and Chen Shiyi was almost fainting from listening to her.

Bailing was watching over Chen Shiyi and wanted to secretly give him some snacks, but was discovered by the matchmaker.

"You can't eat it. You have to wait for the groom to feed the bride. The food given by the bride's parents belongs to the bride's parents. Once you are married, you should eat the food of your husband's family."

Bailing followed Chen Shiyi around everywhere and no longer cared about those old rules.

However, she attached great importance to her elder sister's marriage and could not make any mistakes. Even though Chen Shiyi whispered that he wanted to eat something, Bailing refused to give it to him.

But not long after, Pei Luoshu returned to the bridal chamber.

He used a weighing rod to lift the lid off Chen Shiyi's clothes.

Chen Shiyi, whose vision had been blocked for a long time, was extremely surprised when he saw Pei Luoshu in front of him as the veil was opened.

After not seeing him for two years, he looked more handsome, his eyes were black and bright, with a faint red at the corners of his eyes, making him look even more charming. His black hair and golden crown were tied with a red ribbon, and he wore a bright red straight wedding gown. His fingers were long and white, and he looked gentle and noble.

"A Luo, you are so beautiful."

Before, there were so many people in the room, but now, no one is left, leaving only the dragon and phoenix candles that fill the room, swaying brightly.

Pei Luoshu held Chen Shiyi's hand, trembling slightly, and his moist eyes were fixed on the expression on Chen Shiyi's face.

"Eleven, you are finally my wife."

Chen Shiyi smiled and nodded.

"Husband, I am so hungry. I only ate one piece of cake from morning till night."

The word "husband" made Pei Luoshu smile happily.

He took off the gold-weight hair crown on Chen Shiyi's head and pulled her to sit on the dining table that had been prepared long ago.

The table is filled with a wide variety of dishes, which whets your appetite.

"Fortunately there is no fish, otherwise I would not be able to finish this meal."

Pei Luoshu took the soup spoon and filled a bowl of soup for her.

"This is a soup made from three-year-old ducks. It's very delicious. Try it and see if you like it."

Chen Shiyi took a sip, his eyes sparkling. Hmm, it's stewed very tasty.

“It’s really delicious.”

Pei Luoshu's eyes sparkled, and he was very happy.

"I started stewing it last night. It took me a whole day and night to stew it."

Chen Shiyi was very surprised.

"You have to prepare our wedding banquet and make soup yourself. Where do you find so much time?"

Pei Luoshu smiled and filled another bowl for her.

"There will always be time and squeeze."

He picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Chen Shiyi.

"My lady, let's drink the wedding wine."

Pei Luoshu raised his hand, put it around Chen Shiyi's arm, and drank with her.

This wine has a hint of spiciness and a hint of mellowness, and tastes smooth.

Chen Shiyi seldom drinks when outside. With her alcohol tolerance, she can't drink even a little. But tonight is her big day, so she can have a few more drinks, it's okay.

"Anything else?"

Pei Luoshu blinked and smiled.

"Silly, you can't drink too much of this."

Chen Shiyi put down his wine glass and asked while eating.

"I heard the voices of Brother Lan and Brother Cui. Did you invite them?"

Pei Luoshu nodded.

"Yes."

"Have you been ready for this?"

"We have been preparing for a while. We started preparing the wedding dresses two years ago. I had people transplant the crabapple trees by the river not long after I took office..."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? At least I have something to prepare for. At least I can make my skin whiter, eat less every day, and take better care of my body. This way, I will be more perfect."

Pei Luoshu leaned his elbows on the table, supported his chin, and watched Chen Shiyi eat quietly.

"You look beautiful no matter how you look in my eyes."

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"You are the one who speaks sweetly."

"It's true."

Pei Luoshu waited for her to finish eating, washed her hands, rinsed her mouth, and then ran some hot water to wipe the sweat from her face and nose.

Chen Shiyi asked with a smile.

"You are now the governor of Jiangzhou. Do you have to do all these things yourself? Why don't you use the token I gave you before? You are busy with official duties. Take a good rest in your spare time and don't be too tired."

Pei Luoshu said with a smile.

"My requirements are not high. I don't need that many things. Fufeng and I can do it. We just need to hire a few servants to clean the yard and find a few guards. Besides, I like to do these things for you. If you are uncomfortable, just tell me and I will pay more attention next time."
