Chapter 133 The Grand Wedding
Perhaps it was fate that favored this young couple who had weathered many storms and finally become a couple.
On the wedding day, the sun blazed brightly, the sky was a deep blue, and a few pristine white clouds drifted by, their golden hues contrasting beautifully with the autumn colors, making everyone feel wonderful.
Feng Manman said that she had no experience in getting married for the first time and was a little nervous when she saw the wedding party approaching.
Xia Feifei chuckled, "It's not like anyone can do it a second time."
The girl, who was being pressed onto the bed by Bei Tingwan and Lu Zhenyu to straighten her skirt, giggled, "That's not necessarily true. If I get divorced and then remarry, I'll throw a big party."
Bei Tingwan patted her gently, "On such a joyous day, you mustn't say anything unlucky. Quickly spit it out!"
The girl, realizing what had happened, quickly slapped her mouth, making Lu Zhenyu laugh, "You, your mouth is the most stubborn thing about you."
A growing commotion could be heard outside.
Xia Feifei excitedly ran to the door and looked through the peephole. "They're here! They've come upstairs!"
Feng Manman immediately tensed up, but Bei Tingwan patted her hand and said, "It's okay, your older brothers are guarding the door. You can only get to our gate after you get past them."
It was Lu Zhenyu's first time seeing someone else get married, and she was a little curious, so she walked over in her low-heeled brocade shoes.
Today, Siwei is the best man, and with him around, there's bound to be a lot of chatter. Amidst the commotion, the tightly closed door was suddenly flung open without warning.
Lu Zhenyu, caught off guard, stumbled back several steps and was about to fall when Feng Jinzhou, who had squeezed in first, swiftly grabbed her.
As the representative of the wedding party, Shen Jingsi walked at the very back.
The man was wearing a white stand-up collar Zhongshan suit today, with several gold bamboo embroidered on the chest.
He glanced at the girl who had just stepped out of Feng Jinzhou's arms, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
He had possessed Lu Zhenyu's beauty for over twenty years, yet every time he saw her, his heart would still flutter.
The purple-hued, form-fitting cheongsam accentuated her graceful figure, her long hair loosely pinned back with a gold hairpin, revealing her slender, fair neck. A gold clasp adorned her collarbone, and the open round neckline revealed just the right amount of fullness in her figure.
Lu Zhenyu, having regained her balance, met the intense gaze from the doorway and nodded in acknowledgment.
Shen Jingsi responded with gentle eyes, but when she looked at the person behind her, her smile vanished instantly.
Feng Jinzhou, who was standing behind the girl with his arms crossed, raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, "Her brother-in-law is here too."
He looked away, ignoring her, and walked up to Lu Zhenyu with his hands in his pockets. "Have you had breakfast?"
The girl nodded.
He took a piece of chocolate from his exquisitely tailored, elegant, and scholarly Zhongshan suit and placed it in her palm. "Keep this handy. Getting married is quite tiring."
"So experienced." Feng Jinzhou walked up with his arms crossed. "You talk as if Brother Shen has done it before."
Seeing the smile that Little Bitter Gourd had finally managed to put on vanish, Lu Zhenyu chuckled and punched Feng Jinzhou with her fist, "Stop fooling around."
Then, seeing the person staring at her expectantly, she put the chocolate back into his coat pocket. "The cheongsam doesn't have pockets, so keep it for me. I'll come find you if I get hungry."
Shen Jingsi immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
When the groom's party arrives to pick up the bride, there will inevitably be some tests, and the three who were unaware of the situation will soon be called over.
Xia Feifei, who was in the middle of the group, explained, "Here's how it is. There are three rounds in total. In the first round, the bride will select two people from both sides' families and friends to pop the most balloons on the wall. Whoever pops the most balloons wins."
Feng Manman glanced around at the male guests in the groom's party, then pointed at one of them, "Brother-in-law!"
Siwei whistled, "Then I guess you're going to send your brother-in-law as the representative of the bride's party?"
Behind me came a chorus of jeers that could only be understood, not explained.
Feng Manman pouted arrogantly, "Who do you think you are? Would I, this young lady, engage in such low-level business warfare?"
With a flick of his wrist, he shouted, "Zhenzhen, go!"
"..."
Looking at Shen Jingsi and then at Lu Zhenyu, Si Wei's lips twitched. "This psychological warfare tactic of undermining the enemy's foundation is even more vicious, isn't it?"
It's like stabbing my teammate in the heart. With all the emotions from past lives suppressed, how can that henpecked husband possibly perform well?
As it turned out, the Commandant's concerns were correct.
The two walked out from the various teams and stood in front of the balloon wall. Lu Zhenyu took the initiative to extend her hand, saying, "Mr. Shen, please be modest."
His large, cool hand completely enveloped her delicate little hand, and Shen Jingsi's eyes were full of doting affection. "Ms. Lu, please have mercy."
A servant dressed in festive attire brought over darts, and the two began to play.
Seeing that both sides were making roughly the same progress, Siwei teased, "Hey, Third Brother, you're Jin Chuan's own brother. This is the only girl our son has ever wanted in his life. Whether he can marry her today depends on you."
Xia Feifei chimed in, "Sister Zhenzhen, keep it up! Our brides' group can't lose to them!"
While everyone was chattering and making a fuss, there were still three balloons left on the wall, so it was a tie.
Two more snaps, and there's one left.
The jeers grew louder and louder.
The two looked at each other quietly.
Lu Zhenyu smiled and said, "Her brother-in-law, do you want to come along? To be fair, whoever gets pricked will be the one who gets hurt."
The smile in Shen Jingsi's eyes deepened. "Okay."
Xia Feifei immediately rushed over, "Then I'll count to three, two, one! Listen up, brother-in-law, be careful you might win the game but lose your wife."
The threat couldn't be clearer.
Siwei frantically tried to rouse the man from behind with the last vestiges of brotherly affection, hoping to awaken someone who was already completely bewitched.
As a result, his mouth closed with a "snap".
One dart hit the target while the other missed. Xia Feifei, who was the first to see the result, excitedly hugged Lu Zhenyu, "Sister Zhenzhen, you're amazing!"
As the person who had "gloriously" lost the game turned around, the groomsmen, including Shen Jinchuan, collectively rolled their eyes and let out a disdainful "Tch~~"
Shen Jingsi didn't care at all; seeing the girl happy made him quite proud.
But his smile quickly faded.
"In the second round, it's a test of stamina. Each team sends out one of their strongest athletes to do weighted push-ups. The team that does the most push-ups wins."
The grooms looked at each other, and then the chief clerk pushed her brother-in-law out.
The bride's party naturally sent out Major General Feng, who was highly skilled.
Xia Feifei pulled Lu Zhenyu to the two men and said, "Zhenzhen, you choose first, the rest is mine."
"What do you mean?" Siwei rushed out immediately. "Are you going to kidnap him?"
Xia Feifei couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I already said weighted push-ups. Are you stuffing donkey hair in your ears?"
After exchanging glances with the two people staring at her from the left and right, and under Shen Jingsi's silent, breathless gaze, Lu Zhenyu walked straight to Feng Jinzhou's side and said, "I choose him."
Her beautiful eyes narrowed for a moment.
The joyous bridal chamber fell silent.
It seems like everyone has received some kind of message.
Siwei walked over and pulled his brother apart, rolling up his sleeves, "Who knew we'd have to carry such heavy loads? The third brother has a leg injury, I'll do it."
He grinned mischievously at Feng Jinzhou again, "Let's see how your brother completely defeats you today."
It was a complete defeat, a total failure.
Five minutes later, as Xia Feifei, who was sitting cross-legged on his back, counted to three hundred and twenty-five, Si Wei collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"No, no, I give up. I'm too damn tired. Fourth brother, you can't take this wife anymore. Maybe you can get married again in a couple of days. I can't take it anymore."
He was already out of breath, while Feng Jinzhou, who was carrying Lu Zhenyu, who looked much bigger than Xia Feifei who was 1.6 meters tall, hadn't even broken a sweat yet.
Lu Zhenyu, who was sitting comfortably with her arms crossed, was already drowsy. When she heard the game was over, she slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as I got off his back, I looked up and met a pair of deep, fixed eyes from behind the crowd.
Before she could even freeze in shock, Feng Jinzhou stood up and blocked her view.
Today's wedding is Chinese-style, and everyone is wearing the same themed clothing.
Feng Jinzhou took off his clothes, casually placed them on Lu Zhenyu's arm, and followed Siwei to get some water.
As he left, Lu Zhenyu looked up again, only to find that Shen Jingsi, who had been standing there, was no longer there.
After the final step of finding the wedding shoes, the bride was carried by the groom and married in a grand and glorious ceremony amidst cheering ribbons.
The wedding adopted the ceremony of a Ming Dynasty princess marrying an emperor, and the venue was decorated in an extremely elegant and magnificent manner.
When Lu Zhenyu saw someone off to their wedding, the bride, dressed in a beautiful phoenix coronet and wedding gown, was already crying her eyes out in front of her bridesmaids before the groom even arrived to fetch her.
Lu Zhenyu was also a little envious, but on this joyous day, she didn't want to shed tears and spoil the celebration, so she personally handed her daughter's hand to the groom.
"Jin Chuan, for the rest of your life, take good care of her."
Shen Jinchuan, his eyes red, nodded. "Don't worry, sister. I'll protect her with my life."
I protected him with all my might.
I'll protect you even if it costs me my life.
The newlyweds left, but Lu Zhenyu remained motionless at the doorway.
As the innocent child's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, the light in his fox eyes became even more ethereal.
