Wedding
The morning light shines through the hollow carved wooden windows and illuminates the house covered with red silk.
Outside the house, red lanterns were everywhere, and wedding characters were pasted on the windows, with light shining down, as if it was coated with a layer of gold.
Guan Zheng sat in her boudoir, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, applying lip balm. Her hair was combed into a complicated bun, and the phoenix crown on her head made her neck feel a little uncomfortable.
The maids brought the wedding dress and helped her to change into it. The moment her hand emerged from the sleeve, the four-ring ring fit so perfectly on her slender finger.
The gems inlaid on it shine with a light that is unique to it.
That was made by Yan Chan himself.
Guan Zheng caressed the four-ring ring, not wanting it to be damaged in the slightest.
The auspicious time has arrived. Guan Zheng is walking on the ground covered with red brocade carpet, holding a round fan. She smiles shyly, and her skirt blooms like a lotus flower as she walks. The green wedding dress makes her look even whiter, and her pretty face is faintly visible under the round fan.
The entire Guan residence was decorated in a particularly festive manner, even the branches of the big tree in the middle were tied with red ribbons.
The red ribbon hangs quietly when there is no wind, with tender green branches and leaves interspersed among them.
The wedding date is set for May.
It's a rare good day.
Guan Zheng wore a flower ornament on her forehead today, the same red as the shawl.
She looked at Guan's house, her eyes turned red, and finally she smiled and walked out of the house.
The wedding was ten miles long, and the carriages were lined up from the beginning to the end of the street.
Guan Zheng sat in the bright red sedan chair. When she bent down, the hairpins on her head swayed gently, making a pleasant sound.
The moment the sedan chair was lifted, countless petals were thrown into the air, the bells on the sedan chair rang in the wind, countless golden flowers were carved on the top of the sedan chair, and even the hanging pearl curtain was made of small gems.
Yan Chan mounted his horse and walked ahead with a beaming smile on his face.
She looked back at the wedding sedan chair in which Guan Zheng was sitting, and a smile was about to overflow from her eyes.
The distance from Guan's house to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion is not very close.
Big red lanterns lead the way, with music and drums playing all the way, and the sound of suona adds a touch of soul to the scene.
......
Yan Chan stepped on one foot and got off the horse. She was wearing a red robe and kicked the sedan chair.
Guan Zheng raised the corners of her mouth while sitting in the wedding sedan, and her slender hands reached out and landed steadily on Yan Chan's warm palms.
Nanny Xi, who was standing by, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Guan Zheng carefully walk out of the sedan chair.
A red silk thread with a hydrangea hanging in the middle, both ends of which were held firmly in their hands.
After passing the winding corridor and passing through the flower hall, we finally entered the main hall.
Mrs. Qin had already been sitting in the hall waiting for them.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
As the singing continued, the couple knelt down and kowtowed. Mrs. Qin's eyes suddenly turned red. She gracefully picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The smile on his lips never fell.
"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!"
Guan Zheng entered the bridal chamber with the help of Nanny Xi. Nothing went wrong today and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Chan first followed her into the bridal chamber and gave her some careful instructions, then took advantage of the time when Dong Xue went to get food to secretly kiss Guan Zheng.
"Ah, my lip balm!" Guan Zheng subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, and even threw away the round fan beside her.
Yan Chan looked at her with a smile, and stroked the corner of his lips with his fingertips, rubbing off a little red.
The two gold chains on her head dangled in front of her chest as she leaned forward.
"I'm going out to toast. If you're sleepy, you can take a nap first." Yan Chan blinked, hoping Guan Zheng could understand his hidden meaning.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Guan Zheng nodded and agreed obediently, then pushed her out quickly. She straightened her clothes and sat upright on the wedding bed, smiling sweetly at Yan Chan.
Yan Chan strode out quickly and was soon pulled over by Lin Shuo, who had been waiting for a long time, to toast her.
Lin Shuo got married early and now has a boy.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that Yan Chan and Guan Zheng could get together. He even gave Yan Chan a reproachful look for this. After all, Yan Chan had seen through his attempts to court her.
Unexpectedly, it was her who finally married Guan Er girl quietly and home.
Even his good brother was kept in the dark.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuo cleared his throat awkwardly and bowed to Yan Chan to apologize. Although he didn't do anything excessive, he was still worried that he would become estranged from Yan Chan because of this.
"Don't worry tonight, I will block the wine for you and make sure you return to the bridal chamber safely!" As he said that, he hooked his arms around Yan Chan's neck and patted his chest to assure her.
"Okay, then you must hold on." Yan Chan stretched out his fist and bumped it with him.
She still couldn't help laughing. After all, when it comes to drinking capacity, Lin Shuo is far worse than her.
When he got married, I couldn't count how many drinks I blocked for him.
But even so, the drunk guy still went back drunk.
It's really a waste of her efforts.
"Just look at me. My alcohol tolerance has improved a lot recently." He clinked his glass back.
Yan Chan smiled and said nothing more. Was this something worth celebrating? She had heard that Lin's sister-in-law was very dissatisfied with Lin Shuo's drinking.
But today is Yan Chan's wedding day, so I think I won't be scolded by my wife if I drink a few more glasses, Lin Shuo thought as he touched his chin.
As soon as Yan Chan walked from the corridor to the banquet hall, she was surrounded by guests. Glass of wine was handed to her, and she drank it in one gulp before she could take two more steps forward.
"Young Marquis, no, it's Marquis, I toast to you."
Yan Chan had just reached the age of coming of age when the imperial decree came down from the palace, successfully inheriting the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Now he can finally be called Marquis, and Madam Qin is also honored as Madam Dowager.
Yan Chan drank the cup and walked towards his father-in-law with a smile on his face.
Today she saw that her father-in-law was so happy that he had lost his mind and drank several glasses of wine. No one could persuade him to do so. If someone didn't know, they would think he was getting married.
Yan Chan shook his head and smiled, feeling somewhat helpless.
At the same time, Guan Zheng was sitting in the bridal chamber, and she reached behind her curiously, and something just hit her.
She lifted a corner of the quilt and took out some food: peanuts, longans, lotus seeds, red dates...
Seeing this, her eyes suddenly lit up as she had been starving for a long time. She was also a little curious as to why Dongxue had not come back yet. She touched her hungry stomach and stared at the door expectantly.
The door was finally pushed open with a creak, and Guan Zheng's eyes were filled with tears.
She placed the round fan she was playing with on the mattress, lifted her heavy and complicated skirt, stood up and walked away.
"Miss, I brought back a lot of food. The variety of food in this mansion is much greater than ours."
Hearing the word "various tricks", Guan Zheng couldn't help but think... Isn't it true that the people in this marquis' mansion... know a lot of tricks? Suddenly, her face turned red.
"Oh, girl, why did your lip balm get smudged?!" Dongxue exclaimed, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the smudged area for her.
"Could it be that... this Marquis is too impatient..."
However, the whole room was shrouded in red, so her slightly red face could not be seen.
"Hey, there's honey osmanthus in the mansion?" Guan Zheng picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth.
"Ah, my girl, the Marquis sent someone to buy these cakes from the shop."
She muttered again, how did the marquis know that the girl liked the honey osmanthus from this shop? It was really strange.
Guan Zheng tasted it and it was indeed the taste of that shop.
She ate some other food, and then she remembered to ask Dongxue to help her take off the hairpins and phoenix crown on her head, which was very heavy.
Guan Zheng washed and dressed herself up again, and sat relaxedly in the middle of the bed, wearing only a thin and transparent outer shirt, without even any underwear.
She wanted to wear it, but Dongxue wouldn't let her and even stuffed a booklet into her hand.
Guan Zheng knew what was drawn in the book without even thinking about it. She was a little sleepy and really didn't want to look through it.
"Miss, you'd better take a look..." Dongxue advised earnestly.
"......" The person who should study carefully seems to be Yan Chan.
How can I use it?
Thinking of this, she threw the booklet aside and lay down. As soon as she lay down, Guan Zheng jumped up immediately.
That’s too bad. I forgot there were a lot of fruits underneath, and they hit her again.
Only after calling Dongxue to clear everything off the bed could Guan Zheng comfortably crawl into the quilt and close her eyes.
Dongxue really had no idea what to do. She looked at the sleeping girl and really didn't know what to do.
The girl is not marrying into an ordinary family. This is a marquis's mansion. What if the marquis comes in and sees the girl sleeping and gets angry?
In the blink of an eye, Yan Chan stepped into the room. In order to come back early, he drank a lot of wine and pretended to be drunk, so he was able to escape.
Now reeking of alcohol, she waved her hand to let Dongxue leave, and went inside to take a shower to dilute the smell of alcohol before sitting on the bed.
She wanted to wake Guan Zheng up, but her attention was attracted by the booklet that Guan Zheng had thrown aside. Yan Chan casually picked it up and flipped through a page.
There are actually some tricks she hasn't seen before?
For this, she repeatedly praised that it could be done like this...
Yan Chan took out a small wooden box from the drawer and placed it on the table, then gently shook Guan Zheng to wake her up from her sleep.
"Well, why are you back so soon?" Guan Zheng rubbed her eyes, feeling like she hadn't slept for long.
"Of course I miss you." Yan Chan also lay down, resting his head next to Guan Zheng, smiling sideways, and put his hand on Guan Zheng's face, gently rubbing it with his fingertips.
"You're so smooth-talking." Guan Zheng moved closer to her and skillfully wrapped her arms around Yan Chan's neck.
"You're not wearing that?" She reached in and squeezed it.
Guan Zheng hummed softly, "Dongxue won't let me wear it."
"You really think about me." Yan Chan chuckled, lifted the quilt and threw it into the corner.
He put his arms around Guan Zheng's soft waist and helped her sit up.
"I have really benefited a lot today. I would like to trouble you to accompany me to try it." Yan Chan pulled Guan Zheng into his arms and let her wrap her legs around his waist.
Guan Zheng noticed how conspicuous the open booklet on the bedside table was, and she regretted not taking a look at it. Yan Chan looked as if she had learned a lot from it...
I don't know how long I can hold out tonight...
Yan Chan held her waist and pressed her against him, and tasted the flavor of honey again. The sweetness lingered between them, as if they were drinking honey water.
Guan Zheng tasted the wine in it. She didn't know much about wine, so she could only drink a little. Her cheeks were already flushed.
This time, Yan Chan chose to attack the city directly. He rubbed his fingers at the door for a while, then rushed in.
Guan Zheng paused in her kissing and shifted all her attention downwards, a place that could not be ignored at all.
She seemed a little drunk. Guan Zheng buried her head in Yan Chan's shoulders and neck, and put her arms through her armpits to hug her tightly.
Yan Chan's movements were a little fast, and she almost couldn't hold back.
The thin outer shirt was rubbed open a little, revealing the white shoulders.
