Chapter 83 The weather is fine for the wedding; it is auspicious for marriage.
Snowflakes drifted down outside the window, landing on the ground without leaving a trace.
A warm stove burned in the room, and the quilt was cozy. Yu Wenxue lazily opened her eyes and yawned.
She turned over and met Gu Yun Shen's gaze, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Gu Yun Shen, dressed in white with his smooth, long hair cascading over his shoulders, still had that handsome face, like a seductive ghost, staring straight at her.
The soft nightgown slipped off Yu Wenxue's shoulders. She shivered and muttered softly, "You woke up so early."
Gu Yun Shen hummed in agreement, his voice slightly hoarse, "The wedding dress is finished. I'm waiting for you to take a look."
"Okay." Yu Wenxue didn't doubt it, lifted the covers, got out of bed, and put on her shoes.
She remembered that he went to bed later than her last night, but she didn't expect him to get up so early today.
However, this person has always been a light sleeper, so it's not surprising.
The wedding attire was sent privately by the Empress Dowager; it was exquisitely designed and magnificent, with a scale comparable to that of a prince marrying his princess.
Knowing that Gu Yun Shen was unwilling to have any entanglements with the royal family, the Empress Dowager gave up the idea of persuading him to acknowledge his ancestors and focused on raising the Third Prince.
However, out of familial affection, the necessary rewards were indispensable, hence the extremely high quality of their wedding attire.
Yu Wenxue stared in disbelief at the dazzling and gorgeous wedding dress, then lifted her chin with her palm and asked, "Do you think it'll make me heavier if I wear this? It's so heavy!"
"If you don't like it, just throw it away."
"..." is unnecessary.
Everyone loves beauty; what girl doesn't like pretty clothes?
Yu Wenxue, carrying the heavy wedding dress, pointed to the screen and said, "Then I'll go change first!"
Gu Yun Shen nodded and followed behind her.
"Hey, I'm going to change my clothes, why are you following me?" Yu Wenxue stopped his arm and raised her chin: "Yours is over there."
Gu Yun Shen's face showed a hint of confusion: "You haven't avoided me for a long time."
"This is different."
"What's different?"
“It’s just…” Yu Wenxue didn’t know how to explain this to him, after all, it was her first time doing it.
The bride stood under the lights and slowly drew back the curtain, while the groom stood behind the curtain, revealing a look of amazement.
That's how it's usually portrayed in TV dramas.
Seeing that she was unwilling, Gu Yunshen did not insist any further and said with a light smile, "Alright."
Yu Wenxue ran away shyly, clutching her wedding dress.
The bronze mirror reflected the girl's beautiful face, which was radiant even without makeup.
There is a small red mark below my collarbone.
Yu Wenxue pretended not to see it and let her hair down to cover it.
Anyway, she made quite a bit, so she didn't lose out.
Gu Yun Shen stood behind the screen, gazing at the slender figure.
Just now, he had a dream, a dream that wasn't pleasant, but felt very real.
In her dream, Yu Wenxue, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, looked at him with teary eyes, while he stretched out his long sword and pressed it against her chest expressionlessly.
The longsword pierced her heart, and the flowing blood stained her clothes red.
He tried desperately to stop them, but was trapped in place and unable to move.
......
Soon, Yu Wenxue emerged from behind the screen.
The Empress Dowager's spies were indeed skilled; the size of the wedding dress fit her waist perfectly, without the slightest tightness or excess.
Gu Yun Shen was dazzled by the red color.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Yu Wenxue twirled in front of him.
The girl's sweet voice lingered in my ears, shattering the illusion.
Gu Yun Shen closed his eyes, then quickly regained his composure. He gazed at her with a fervent infatuation in his eyes, "Beautiful."
"I think it looks good too, and it fits perfectly." Yu Wenxue looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "However, I can't gain weight in the next few days, otherwise it will burst open and be a disaster!"
"If you've gained weight, we'll just make it bigger." Gu Yun Shen smiled, but his hand on the sachet at his waist tightened.
Dreams are always the opposite of reality.
They will definitely be together for a long, long time.
*
November 23rd, sunny, auspicious for weddings.
Yu Wenxue didn't sleep well that night.
Last night, the system's notification sounds kept reminding her that Gu Yun Shen's death was not far off.
And she will soon be leaving this world.
The courtyard was bustling with noise, and a deep, powerful voice directed the servants to make arrangements.
It was obvious that Gu Rongting had arrived.
"Wenxue, it's time to get up," Atao said, knocking on the door.
Yu Wenxue carefully put the note into the amulet around her neck and replied, "Coming!"
Lin Qingwan waited outside for a long time with her suitcase in hand, her palms sweating profusely.
She had never styled her hair in a wedding updo before, so she was a little nervous, afraid of making a mistake. But when she thought that this was the most important day of Wen Xue's life, she didn't want to miss the opportunity.
Atao had a rosy complexion and looked to be in good health. She sat to the side, helping to hand things over.
Occasionally, the sound of suona horns could be heard, and although the wedding was simple, quite a few people still came to join in the fun.
For example, the carefree and irresponsible Fan Zhuo.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Guan Nan stopped them at the gate: "Sorry, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."
"Who are you?! I'm the bride's friend, and I'm going to find Xiaohua!"
Guan Nan maintained her smile and pushed him out without changing her expression: "You can't come in."
"You..."
"Let him in." Gu Rongting walked in gracefully, glancing at him casually.
Although he didn't like this person, he couldn't very well turn him away since the person had come all this way.
Moreover, one more person means one more blessing.
Fan Zhuo rolled his eyes, ordered his men to bring in two large boxes, and said smugly, "These are my wedding gifts for Xiao Hua."
“That guy surnamed Wei is also preparing for his wedding, so it's inconvenient for him to attend. He asked me to deliver his share as well.”
As he said this, Fan Zhuo’s gaze seemed to fall on Gu Rongting, as if to say: What did you give me this time?
Gu Rongting's eyelids twitched; he saw a flash of silver light inside the box.
This young master Fan is truly wealthy and powerful.
Out of male pride, he was very unconvinced and casually mentioned to Yan Liang beside him, "Last time I brought over the land deed for the new house, Wen Xue refused to take it no matter what, but in the end, she only reluctantly accepted it after seeing her name on the deed..."
Fan Zhuo snorted coldly: "People don't lack houses, what's more practical than hard-earned silver!"
Yan Liang was an honest man, and seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, he had no choice but to smooth things over. "Today is a joyous occasion, and we're just sitting around anyway, so why don't we go see if there's anywhere else we can help with?"
"How could I be left out of helping out!" Fang Zixuan, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, squeezed past the servants who were in the way and walked straight to the center of the courtyard.
As she approached Gu Rongting, she glared at him and then shouted into the house, "I couldn't hire a horse-drawn carriage in the countryside, so I had to come by donkey cart. Luckily, I made it in time."
She put down the bamboo basket, and everyone's expectant eyes focused on it. Then, two large roosters tied with red ribbons flew out of the basket.
Chicken feathers were flying everywhere in the newly decorated yard. Guan Nan sighed and went to catch chickens again.
The two had no parents, and Gu Rongting was the only elder in their family.
Although Gu Yun Shen tried his best to refuse, Gu Rong Ting was shameless and insisted on sitting there.
Gu Yunshen's lips twitched, and he agreed.
There was no wedding procession, no complicated procedures, just the newlyweds completing the ceremony with the blessings of their best friends.
Yu Wenxue's face was covered by a veil, so she couldn't see the road ahead. It wasn't until she noticed a familiar hand out of the corner of her eye that her tense heart calmed down.
Gu Yun Shen took her hand and led her to the main hall, which was covered with red silk.
Surrounded by a joyous atmosphere, Yu Wenxue heard a whisper in her ear: "We've finally waited for this day."
She smiled and lowered her voice: "I've been waiting for a long time too."
Gu Rongting had tears in his eyes. He was moved, but the other reason was that he had been punched by Gu Yunshen last night for offering to sit in the elder's seat, and his back was still a little sore.
But he had no regrets. He looked at the couple with a gratified expression, adopting the attitude of a patriarch, and gave the newlyweds his blessings.
Outside, everything was covered in silver, while inside, young men and women wore matching red wedding gowns, their flames blazing like fire.
Atao brought out a tray with two love knots that she had made herself.
Lin Qingwan's eyes reddened as she stepped forward to take it.
The love knot symbolizes growing old together and being forever united in heart; it is the highest blessing and hope for the newlyweds.
A small jade bead was embedded in the tassel, engraved with their names.
Lin Qingwan carefully and meticulously tied the love knot for them.
For the first time in front of outsiders, Lu Qingsheng removed his mask and solemnly declared, "I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
As Lu Qingsheng spoke, Yu Wenxue and Gu Yunshen turned around together, the jade beads on their heart knot rubbing together and making a crisp sound.
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
The two bowed to Gu Rongting.
Gu Rongting was so excited that he suddenly stood up, but the movement aggravated the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain and sit down awkwardly.
It hurts, but it's worth it!
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Yu Wenxue faced Gu Yunshen and bowed solemnly.
Legend has it that whoever bends their back lower will be overshadowed after marriage. Gu Yun Shen took a step back and bowed at a 90-degree angle.
Yu Wenxue's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes, hidden under the red veil, reddened slightly.
"The ceremony is complete!"
Guan Nan carried Wen Yu, who was adorned with a large red flower, out and showered the two of them with flowers.
Petals fell to the ground, and the seemingly simple wedding received its most beautiful highlight at this moment.
A figure in bright yellow peeked out from behind the hem of a garment, then quietly disappeared.
Once the guests have left, everything returns to normal.
The fat fish candles inside the house were replaced with dragon and phoenix candles, which burned until dawn.
Yu Wenxue looked at the erotic pictures in her hand with a headache.
It was the book she had drawn before.
So this is... the boomerang of fate?
But she still didn't refuse, after all, it wouldn't be right to be honest with Lin Qingwan about how much experience she had with Gu Yunshen was than she had imagined.
Of course, it wasn't that varied; there were still many positions they hadn't tried.
So Yu Wenxue opened the erotic picture book again, not for any other reason than to admire her own superb drawing skills.
How can you paint so vividly?
As expected of her.
After indulging in self-admiration for a while, the bathroom door was pushed open.
She casually tucked the book under her pillow and sat obediently on the bed.
According to custom, they should now drink the nuptial wine.
Gu Yunshen's hair was still dripping wet. He didn't dry it completely before striding to the bedside and handing Ge Bu to Yu Wenxue.
Yu Wenxue naturally accepted it.
On their wedding night, time was precious, and she felt something was off about him drying her hair.
Isn't it said that the spring night is too short?
The stove in the room was burning warmly, and the heat reached Yu Wenxue's cheeks. Tonight, she did not wear the nightgown she had sewn herself, but obediently changed into the formal attire befitting a newlywed.
Strangely, even though there was more fabric, she inexplicably felt a little uneasy.
She was so lost in thought that she even became distracted while wiping herself.
Gu Yun Shen grasped her wrist, his burning body temperature searing her skin, spreading little by little.
Yu Wenxue said dryly, "Isn't it time to drink the nuptial wine?"
"Hmm." Gu Yun Shen walked to the table and poured two glasses of sweet wine.
The candlelight was dim, and he noticed it, so he added some sugar.
Yu Wenxue couldn't help but wonder: "Why sprinkle sugar?"
Gu Yunshen said in a low voice, "This will make the candle burn longer."
As they spoke, the two linked arms and drank the nuptial wine.
The rich aroma of the sweet wine, mixed with the fragrance of fruit, made the two of them slightly dazed.
Yu Wenxue licked her lips as she looked at that face, leaving a trail of alluring moisture.
Gu Yun Shen looked at her tongue as it moved, and gently kissed it.
He said, "It is said that when newlyweds get married, the dragon and phoenix candles should burn until dawn so that the wedding can last a long time."
He chuckled softly, leaned close to Yu Wenxue's ear, and said in a seductive voice, "Can't doing other things until dawn also last a long time?"
Yu Wenxue stood with her legs together, convinced that there was more to his words than met the eye.
