The villagers stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to look, even though they couldn't see anything.
When the wedding procession arrived outside the courtyard, there was another burst of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums. The Qiao family had prepared a large number of firecrackers, and the three Qiao brothers had summoned a hundred of their subordinate soldiers to form a ceremonial team, which lined up on both sides, making a grand and imposing scene.
It was as if the whole world was filled with the sounds of firecrackers and drums, mixed with the clamor of voices, making it almost deafening.
Lingyin felt surrounded by people, and even sensed that the temperature in the area was higher.
He asked in a low voice, "Lian'er, have so many people from the Qiao family come?"
"Yes, a lot of people from other villages have come. They're just having tea outside and not going in. They're probably here to watch the excitement." Qiao Lian'er sat in the bridal sedan chair, talking to Ling Yin the whole way. She was lifting the curtain to look at the situation outside.
Beneath the red veil, Ling Yin smiled and reached out to hold her hand: "I must have come for you too, Lian'er, you are very popular with the people."
After saying that, he felt it was inappropriate; winning the hearts of the people was something he was referring to when speaking to officials and the emperor.
He added, "The villagers like you very much."
Qiao Lian'er's heart was slightly touched.
A red carpet was laid along the main path of the courtyard, and the sedan chair followed the red carpet all the way to the outside of the main hall.
The bride was helped down by her two bridesmaids.
Ling Yin was tall, at least 1.68 meters by modern calculations, and with her graceful figure, she took small steps, the tassels on her wedding robe swaying gently, making her appear elegant and dignified.
The guests were talking about it.
"Da Yong is handsome, and the Ling family's daughter is also quite good-looking; they are a perfect match."
"I've heard that this girl is diligent and kind-hearted, and the Qiao family is easy to get along with. The whole family will live in harmony in the future."
Before the wedding ceremony, the couple serves tea to their elders and listens to their instructions.
Seated in the main hall were not only the elders of the Qiao family, but also the Qiao family elders, General Guan, and General Chu.
After everyone had said their piece and performed their ceremony, the auspicious time was almost here.
Holding a red ribbon, the two bowed to heaven and earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other, under the guidance of matchmaker Zhao Laosi.
After the three bows, the bride was led to the bridal chamber.
At this moment, the sun is gradually sinking behind the western mountains, and the courtyard and rooms are filled with tables and chairs. In another quarter of an hour, the banquet will begin.
Guan Xue and Guan Song were also there. The two of them searched everywhere for Qiao Lian'er and finally found her. They saw Qiao Lian'er busy in the kitchen.
Guan Song pulled her younger sister aside: "Let's not bother our older sister. She can come and play with us when she's not busy."
"Mmm." Guan Xue nodded, then crouched down and ran away to avoid being seen by Qiao Lian'er.
Qiao Lian'er saw the two of them leave quietly and knew what they meant, so she smiled knowingly.
Several captains arrived at the camp, along with their wives, who were chatting with Guan Yuqin under the pavilion.
The slimmer one is Madam Ye, and the more plump one is Madam Xiao.
The two ladies originally wanted to comfort Guan Yuqin, but seeing that Guan Yuqin didn't want to talk about that matter anymore and seemed unaffected, they were relieved.
The daughter of a great general always has a bit more courage and determination.
"What do you Qiao family mean by this? Are you afraid we won't give you a gift? You're really underestimating us."
At the entrance, a man was blocked by soldiers and was shouting indignantly.
Feng was the closest person to the commotion, so he went over to check what was going on.
It turned out that the Song family had arrived, but the soldiers wouldn't let them in.
