After the newlyweds have taken back the red string, they need to hold hands and exchange a love lock, which means the newlyweds will work together in the future.
After holding hands, the newlyweds will tie their hair together in a knot called "Heji" (a knot of hair tied together) to show their devotion to each other.
Jiang Hai lost himself in the eulogist's witty remarks. While this was supposed to be a traditional wedding, it was incredibly complex and tedious. Jiang Hai completely gave up, letting himself be manipulated.
Fortunately, after getting married, before he collapsed, Jiang Hai finally heard what he had longed for, "being sent to the bridal chamber."
His eyes lit up, and he cheered up again, thinking that it had finally come to this.
Jiang Xiuyuan and Siqin were greeting the guests outside, while a group of people who were close to Jiang Hai went to the bridal chamber to make trouble.
After entering the bridal chamber, the newlyweds sat down on the edge of the bed. At this time, Jiang Xin came in with a plate of dried fruits, including dates, longans, etc. This was the beginning of the "spreading the bed" phase. Dates and longans were auspicious signs for an early birth of a baby boy.
The corner of Jiang Hai's mouth twitched.
"Oh my sister, isn't this over yet?"
"It's almost done, hehe, don't worry, brother." Jiang Xin gave Jiang Hai a crooked smile.
According to etiquette, they should sprinkle it on Yuchi Ziling's body and the bed, but Jiang Xin was quite tactful. She walked over and picked out some dates and longans for Yuchi Ziling, handed them to her and said,
"Sister-in-law, may you have a baby soon."
Then she scattered the dried fruits on the bed and called it a day. Jiang Xin turned around and went out to entertain the guests with her parents.
At this time, the people who came to the bridal chamber to make trouble were a little impatient. Wang Lue was usually the most lively, so he urged them,
"Master, hurry up, the candlelight is already burning."
Oh, it's time to write poems again, which isn't difficult. Jiang Hai scratched his head, wondering which poem to copy.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Hai could speak, Yuchi Ziling closed her fan. Seeing that Jiang Hai was also confused by the complicated etiquette today, she didn't want to embarrass him anymore. She handed the fan to Jiang Hai and turned to the crowd and said,
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Wow, the young lady had just one sentence to stop the people who came to disturb the bridal chamber. Usually, when other people get married, the bride is always shy, but I didn't expect the young lady to be so aggressive.
Jiang Hai was also happy to see this. He had nothing to do below. The bride was in trouble. However, he also said,
"You can make a fuss, but don't overdo it."
"Of course," Wang Lue patted his chest, "or else we can come up with something literary."
"Oh my, Wang Lue, you can also write. I can't tell, I really can't tell." Wen Zhi said contemptuously.
Everyone started to mock Wang Lue. However, Wang Lue remained calm and said,
"Haha, then please ask the bride to compliment the groom ten times, no more than once, and the groom must nod in approval."
After saying that, Wang Lue spread his hands and asked everyone: "Look, is this literary enough? Who said I don't know how to be literary?"
Everyone stopped mocking him and said, "Okay, okay, this is good."
Wang Lue raised his eyebrows at Jiang Hai, and his meaning was very clear: Young Master, do you think my work is okay?
Jiang Hai raised his thumb, and the meaning was very clear. If we talk about cunning people, it has to be you, Wang Lue. This is a great move, and it touches the heart of me, the young master.
When Yuchi Ziling heard this, she felt that the request was not excessive, but it seemed a bit difficult.
Everyone was laughing and urging the bride to hurry up. Yuchi Ziling thought about it and suddenly remembered what Jiang Hai boasted about himself in the teahouse yesterday. She said something casually,
"Handsome. Is that possible?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Hai.
"Okay. Count it as one." Jiang Hai was very happy. This was really fun.
Everyone cheered, and then Yuchi Ziling crashed and couldn't figure it out.
It wasn't long before everyone started urging him again.
Yuchi Ziling was a little confused. What should I do? Just tell her what I want to do. Thinking of Jiang Hai's careless spending, she said something.
"Extravagant." Then he smiled an unusual smile and asked through gritted teeth, "Is it feasible?"
Jiang Hai was stunned on the spot. Could this be considered a compliment? He wanted to refute, but after looking at Yuchi Ziling's expression, he swallowed and replied,
"OK."
"Slippery mouth." Yuchi Ziling continued to ask through gritted teeth, "Is it feasible?"
"Okay." Jiang Hai wiped the sweat off his face.
When everyone saw this, they all laughed so hard that they fell over. It seemed that there was someone who could deal with the young master.
Yuchi Ziling thought about the day she went to Furong Chamber of Commerce, and she gritted her teeth even harder.
"I'm tempted by your beauty."
"Okay." Jiang Hai trembled.
…
After ten sentences, except for the first one, none of them sound like a compliment.
Jiang Hai said in great confusion,
"Well, it seems that this young master has nothing good in him except his handsome appearance. Alas."
Everybody burst into laughter. This was beyond their expectations. They had no idea it would be such a compliment.
Yuchi Ziling also blinked, feeling equally puzzled, and thought to herself, Hey, why did I marry such a person? He seems to have flaws all over his body.
The bridal chamber prank didn't last long. Everyone just came to share in the joyous atmosphere, and after a while they all went out to enjoy the feast and drink the wedding wine.
Jiang Hai also had to go to toast, and before leaving he did not forget to tease his wife,
"My dear, please study the secrets of spearmanship first. I will be right back."
"Go away, you're just being poor," Yuchi Ziling got up in a bad mood and urged him to go to the social event, and then warned him, "Don't drink too much."
Jiang Hai said yes and left the room to entertain the guests outside.
Yuchi Ziling closed the door and stayed alone in the room. After the noise, the room seemed even quieter.
Looking around, the windows were all covered with wedding paper-cuts, and the red candles made the new house look dreamy and warm.
She walked back to the bed, turned around and sat down, lowered her head and touched her wedding dress embroidered with mandarin ducks, flowers and birds, and smiled faintly.
Then, the scene changed, and she took out a small notebook from her pocket. Yes, that's right, this was given to her by her mother on the day she got married. It taught her some things about daily life for couples.
Yuchi Ziling blushed and opened the book, and began to read. As she read, she felt that it was not as realistic as the paintings in Lao Jia's secret book.
She then took out the manual that Lao Jia had sold her and looked at it. After comparing them, she felt that her motherly care had been thrown aside. She thought to herself, it seems that Young Master Jiang had made a good point in asking her to study the gunmanship manual. It seemed that the five taels of silver had been well spent.
Yuchi Ziling read very seriously, her face flushed as she slowly turned the pages, and just when she was engrossed.
She heard footsteps outside, but she didn't pay much attention. The person wearing cloth shoes at that time didn't make much noise. It wasn't until the footsteps got closer that she noticed them and frantically tried to hide the book.
With a creak, the door opened and Cai'er came in with some food.
"Miss, please eat something. You haven't eaten for half a day."
Nonsense, they clearly ate meat when they were paying their respects. Cai'er is really too considerate, Yuchi Ziling complained in her heart.
