Chapter 163 Marriage
The princes and crown princes who came with Xiao Jinyi to welcome the bride were a little scared after seeing the document. How could this be a marriage?
This was basically selling out his entire life, but Xiao Jinyi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and signed without hesitation.
Shen Zexi put the returned receipt close to his body, and seeing that it was almost time, he asked the people blocking the door to move aside and opened the door himself.
When Xiao Jinyi saw the door open, he wanted to take people in, but after seeing clearly that it was Shen Zexi who opened the door, he stopped, saluted respectfully, and called him "big brother".
Although he was called "big brother" before, he had to have a surname in front of it. Now that he is married to Shen Shixu, Shen Shixu's "big brother" is also his real big brother.
Shen Zexi nodded when he heard him call him "big brother", "Today I will hand my brother over to you, you must treat him well."
Xiao Jinyi assured Shen Zexi: "Don't worry, big brother. I will never let Ah Xu down. If one day I let Ah Xu down, I will let you do whatever you want with me."
Shen Zexi still believed in his character, so he made room for him and asked him to take people to welcome Shen Shixu out.
Xiao Jinyi excitedly strode towards Shen Shixu's yard, so fast that Xiao Yuanqi and the others had to jog to follow him.
Shen Shixu finally coaxed Shen's father and mother to sit in the living room, and asked them to wait for him and Xiao Jinyi to come and say goodbye later.
Just after I calmed the two people down, I heard Xiao Shitou say that Xiao Jinyi and his men had arrived and were standing at the door.
Xiao Jinyi couldn't wait to marry Shen Shixu, but when he stood in front of Shen Shixu's yard, he suddenly became nervous and his heart beat so loudly that he couldn't hear the noise around him.
He walked forward, every step very solemnly. Shen Shixu waited for a while and when he didn't see him, he took the initiative to go out to look for him.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw him walking towards me with a serious expression, step by step like a wooden man. I couldn't help laughing at that time.
"Jin Yi, what's wrong with you? Didn't you always want to marry me? Now that you can marry me, why are you hesitating? Do you regret it?"
Xiao Jinyi knew that he was just joking, but after hearing his words, he rushed over and hugged him in his arms.
"Ah Xu, you look so good today!"
With her red clothes, black hair and cold white skin, she looks like a beautiful flower in the world, but this beautiful flower will be plucked from the branch today.
Shen Shixu also replied to him, "You look good too!"
Xiao Jinyi, dressed in red, looked majestic and imposing. His usual fierceness was suppressed, and he looked like a famous sword wrapped in spring water.
When Xiao Yuanqi and the others came over, they saw the two of them hugging each other. "Ahem, I know you two have missed each other after not seeing each other for three days, but you are going to get married soon, so there is no need to rush. You should go and say goodbye to Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen!"
Shen Shixu felt embarrassed to be stared at by everyone, and quickly withdrew from Xiao Jinyi's arms, "Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reminded me."
——
Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu lifted their clothes and knelt down in front of Mr. and Mrs. Shen who were sitting in the hall. After kowtowed three times, they stood up.
Mother Shen held her handkerchief and started crying again, but no one tried to persuade her at this time. She had to cry if she wanted to.
Not to mention that Shen's mother was crying loudly, Shen's father also turned his back and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Shen Zexi's nose was blocked and his eyes were red like a rabbit, but he just held on and didn't cry.
Ronghua stood beside him and felt bad for him when he saw that he clearly wanted to cry but was trying hard to hold it back.
"If you want to cry, just cry out loud. Look at how you're holding it in. I feel like your neck is getting thicker."
Shen Zexi couldn't free his mouth to answer him, he was afraid that he would burst into tears if he opened his mouth.
Shen Shixu felt their reluctance and started crying too. Although they said that he could come back often in the future, he left today and his identity would be different when he came back next time.
Xiao Jinyi took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. Fortunately, Shen Shixu was not wearing any makeup, otherwise her makeup would have been ruined by her tears.
With red eyes and traces of tears, Chen Shixu followed Xiao Jinyi onto the horse. Xiao Jinyi knew that Chen Shixu would definitely not be happy to sit in the sedan chair, so he deleted this part and made the two of them ride on one horse.
The people who were waiting to watch the excitement on the road began to murmur at the sight of Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi riding on the same horse.
"No wonder Prince Jing begged the Emperor to marry Lord Shen. Lord Shen is such a perfect man that ordinary women are not worthy of him."
"That's right. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I finally understand. Lord Shen is talented, handsome, and upright. It's much better than marrying a delicate and difficult young lady."
"Who said it wasn't? Prince Jing really likes Lord Shen. Oh, no, he should be called Lord Gan'an now. Look at how much money he has spent on the way from the Prince's Mansion to the Shen Mansion? The money I picked up alone is enough to cover my expenses for two months."
"You are awesome! I just picked up a few dozen coins. Please share your secrets with me."
——
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi rode their horses to the gate of Prince Jing's mansion. Together, they stepped over the brazier at the gate and walked towards the main hall.
Emperor Wu'an and Empress Lin had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw the two people coming, they looked at them with loving eyes.
Under the gaze of the ceremonial officer and everyone else, the two bowed three times, and Shen Shixu was a man so he skipped the step of escorting her to the bridal chamber.
The two of them went to toast together. When they were together, the ministers did not dare to be too presumptuous. They just toasted them with a glass of wine each and let them go.
Jiang Bin wanted to make a fuss, but Xiao Jinyi glared at him and he became quiet.
An Chengyu saw that he had calmed down and asked him why he stopped making trouble. Jiang Bin said with a bitter face, "My cousin told me with his eyes that if I dare to make trouble, he would not beat me today but let me wait until tomorrow."
An Chengyu patted his shoulder sympathetically and continued to eat the chicken leg happily.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi didn't drink much, so they made an excuse that they were drunk and went back to their room to rest.
As soon as the two people closed the door, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated. Xiao Jinyi excitedly poured two glasses of wedding wine. The two of them held each other's arms and drank it face to face.
Before Shen Shixu put down his wine glass, Xiao Jinyi hugged him. Both of their wine glasses fell to the ground with a thud, and then rolled under the table.
Shen Shixu put his arms around Xiao Jinyi's neck and was carried to the bed by him. He watched Xiao Jinyi put down the gauze curtain, and then let Xiao Jinyi peel off his clothes like peeling an onion.
Until the two of them were honest with each other, Shen Shixu didn't dare to look and closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling because of nervousness.
