Chapter 356: Su Jing's Wedding Part 2
Princess Jiacheng arrived at the Su Mansion just before the wedding procession arrived, and Su Wan had just picked her up.
She was wearing a light blue horse-faced skirt today, which was particularly refreshing. Her hair was also beautifully combed. She seemed to have been carefully dressed up, even more exquisite than the last time I saw her at Prince Xiang's Mansion.
As soon as she arrived, she circled in front of Su Wan.
"Sister Wanwan, do I look good today?"
Su Wan nodded and praised:
"It's nice, very beautiful."
"You are beautiful too, but the bride is the most beautiful today." Jiacheng said mischievously.
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside, and the wedding procession returned.
Sun Ling'er happened to come too, and greeted Su Wan when she saw her.
Su Wan held Sun Ling'er's hand in one hand and Jiacheng's hand in the other and ran to the door to see her sister-in-law.
At the door, many guests who liked to join in the fun also came to see the bride.
The matchmaker helped the bride out of the bridal sedan. Shen Qingli was at least 1.65 meters tall. She wore a floor-length wedding dress with a red base and green as the main color. She held a peacock fan in her hand, which made her figure look even more slender and taller.
She has good manners, and walking side by side with Su Jing, they look a perfect match in every way.
The three girls were very happy because Shen Qingli was so beautiful. Jiacheng said that they were a perfect match and said with an intoxicated look:
"I've heard the story of Sister Shen and Minister Su before, and it moved me to death. One, for the sake of her beloved, didn't hesitate to delay marriage until she was twenty, and the other, for the sake of his beloved girl, worked hard to build the Xuan River embankment, just to return with glory and marry his beloved girl. Oh my God, what a touching love story this is!"
In Kyoto, there have always been only political marriages. Many couples have never even met each other before getting married, so how can they be in love with each other?
Most of the time, it's just a group of two families weighing the pros and cons. There is no affection at all, and the relationship can only be cultivated slowly, so there are many resentful couples in this world.
There are very few people like Su Jing and Shen Qingli who love each other and eventually get married.
The matchmaker kept shouting blessings. After stepping over the fire basin, the two newlyweds walked side by side on the red carpet, which extended all the way to the main hall.
Su's father and mother sat in the main seats, both with tears in their eyes.
Su Jing tilted his head to look at Shen Qingli beside him, his expression gentle, his face slightly flushed, and full of affection.
Shen Qingli also glanced at him secretly with tacit understanding.
Su Wan arranged for the maids in the mansion to hold flower baskets, and Su Jing and Shen Qingli followed them as they walked, scattering flowers all the way. The colorful petals flew all over the sky, which was extremely beautiful.
The magpies were very active today, flying around in groups of two or three in the air, chirping and announcing the good news.
Su's mother asked someone to grab a few handfuls of millet to feed the little guys.
Su Wan, Sun Ling'er and Jiacheng ran into the main hall first, stood beside Su's father and mother, found a perfect viewing point, and rubbed their hands excitedly.
Several brothers of the Su family also followed in and stood beside Su Wan. When Jiacheng saw Su Chen, his face turned red, and he subconsciously adjusted his hair and stood upright.
When Su Chen saw Jiacheng, he nodded and smiled at her politely, and Jiacheng's heart was filled with joy.
Su Wan's attention was all on his elder brother, so he naturally didn't notice Jiacheng's little movements.
Jiang Yu stood silently behind her. From his angle, he could just see Su Wan's small, rosy earlobes and her white neck with a hint of pink. A few strands of hair from her temples were clinging to her ears, which was very cute.
Her neck was flushed pink, simply because she was so excited.
Jiang Yu couldn't help swallowing and looked away awkwardly.
Then, Su Jing and Shen Qingli had already arrived at the main hall. Both sides of the main hall were surrounded by guests who came to watch the ceremony. The eldest brother of the Shen family was given the seat of honor, just below Su's father.
They went straight into the ceremony of worshipping in the hall. The host began to recite the lyrics and the two newlyweds faced the door.
“I bow to the spirit of heaven and earth, there is a cause and effect on the Three Lives Stone, and I bow.
Bow twice to the essence of the sun and the moon, all things that grow have spirits, and bow twice.
Three bows for spring, summer, autumn and winter, good weather and abundant crops. Three bows for good weather and abundant crops.
After completing the process, the two faced their parents again.
"I bow to my parents, the mirror that nourishes me.
I bow twice to thank my parents for their hard work and education.
Bow again for peace and harmony, and let the yellow earth turn into gold. Bow three times."
Finally, the couple bows to each other, standing facing each other:
"We bow together, sharing happiness and hardships.
I bow again, wishing you a loving couple and a baby soon.
Three bows, grow old together, be together forever, the ceremony is complete!"
As the process was completed, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene, congratulating the newlyweds on being a perfect match.
Su Wan was so excited that she shed tears of emotion.
It’s not easy, it’s not easy. It’s really not easy for you to get to where you are today.
Finally, they were sent to the bridal chamber. The eldest brother stayed in the front hall to entertain guests, while the eldest sister-in-law was sent back to the bridal chamber.
In a while, Su Wan and Sun Ling'er will accompany her to prevent her from being bored in the room alone.
Her two elder sisters were married and could not come to accompany her, so only her sister-in-law Su Wan could come.
When she was about to follow him to the new house, she turned around and found Jiang Yu standing behind him, and bumped into his chest.
Jiang Yu held her shoulders and helped her stand steadily. Sun Ling'er was standing beside her, with an expression as if she had been hurt.
Only Jiacheng blinked his eyes, looking confused.
Why is the Duke of Jiang here? He seems to be very familiar with Sister Wanwan.
Su Wan blushed and said angrily:
"Why are you standing behind me without even saying hello?"
Jiang Yu's expression under the mask was unclear, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly:
"You were so engrossed in watching it that you didn't notice it."
Indeed, Jiang Yu had been watching her from behind just now, but she didn't notice it at all. When he saw Su Jing and Shen Qingli's wedding, he was also filled with emotion.
He was looking forward to marrying Su Wan in the future. He wanted to give her a more grand and memorable wedding.
He is now looking forward to that day very much, and the corners of his mouth can't help but rise just thinking about it.
Su Wan was indeed so engrossed in watching just now that he didn't notice it.
At this time, Su Yun and Su Yi came over, and they each held Jiang Yu and pulled him out.
"I'm telling you, don't even think about running away today. Big brother asked you to stop the drinking." Su Yun said righteously.
Jiang Yu smiled helplessly. He had never thought of running away. He had agreed with Su Chen in the morning that he would help Su Jing block the alcohol and would not return until he was drunk.
Su Wan looked at his helpless expression and laughed unkindly. It seemed like the fourth and fifth brothers were doing it on purpose. It was too obvious. He couldn't stand seeing the two of them being together for too long.
Before leaving, Su Yi did not forget to tell Su Wan:
"Wanwan, my brother told me to tell you to prepare some food for my sister-in-law. She got up early today and is hungry."
The eldest brother is so thoughtful. He always thinks about his lovely wife, Su Wan, Sun Ling'er and Jiacheng, and they are given a lot of food again.
