Chapter 121 The ceremony is completed
The door knocked under his hand, "I am Ouyang Li, and I have come to marry the eldest daughter of the Xia family, Xia Yutong."
These are the rules of Dayan’s wedding reception, including blocking the door and disturbing the groom.
There is a time limit for blocking the door, and it is impossible to block it forever.
The first person to speak was not Xia Zixuan, but Jiang Ce.
Then came Shan Ning and An Xiaoxiao.
The three of them got quite a few red envelopes. Shanning was a bit naughty and opened the first one she got.
After seeing the banknotes inside, he was so happy that he immediately asked Jiang Ce for more.
Xia Zixuan couldn't stand it anymore. This money belonged to his eldest sister and he couldn't spend it like that.
So, while they were concentrating on getting the red envelopes, he secretly opened the door.
Wen Li quickly pushed the door open and saw Xia Zixuan standing beside him. He took a big red envelope from Dayi.
There wasn't much money in it, just ten thousand taels of silver.
After the greetings, Wen Li presented gifts, all of which were festive in nature.
The bride was carried out on Xia Zixuan's back.
After being sent into the bridal sedan, he was very reluctant to let go of his elder sister's hand, and his eyes were red.
Jiang Ce and others stood aside and quickly pulled Xia Zixuan's hand away.
The matchmaker then stepped forward and said, "The auspicious time has arrived, move the sedan."
In this way, Xia Yutong married out of the Xia family.
The way back was through another street in the imperial city.
There is also a sense of compromise here, which means "not going back."
The journey was very smooth. The people knew that today was the eldest prince's wedding day, and many people gathered to watch.
Some bold people even made trouble in the wedding sedan.
Asking for wedding cakes and other things.
Some generous grooms will also give out wedding money, which is copper coins of course, but it is money nonetheless.
Wen Li originally wanted to give her the best, and he prepared enough wedding money.
The freshmen and sophomores each held a basket of copper coins and walked on both sides of the horse.
When Wen Li saw someone trying to please others, he immediately bent down and distributed money, which was very generous.
After the commotion, the wedding party arrived at the eldest prince's palace smoothly.
When the sedan chair and ceremonial guards arrived at the gate of the mansion, the eldest prince's door was wide open, which was somewhat against the rules and etiquette.
You know, when the groom comes to pick up the bride, the door of the bride's house is closed to give the groom a warning.
Agreed, when the bride comes back, the door of the man’s house must be closed tightly, as it is said to calm the bride’s temper.
How could Wen Li let her suffer such injustice? Of course, he would not close the door.
Uncle Feng was already standing at the door with an arm full of smiles to greet him.
The sedan chair was carried directly into the courtyard.
After they stopped, Nanny Quanfu came forward and scattered grains, beans, grass and other things to ward off evil spirits.
After the ceremony was completed, the bridesmaid immediately stepped forward, said auspicious words, and helped the newlyweds out of the sedan chair.
There is a brazier in front of the sedan chair. "Avoid evil and seek good fortune, turn misfortune into blessing, stay away from inauspiciousness, and prosper." The matchmaker's auspicious words come one after another as if they are free.
Finally, he handed the bride's hand to the groom who was waiting at the other end of the brazier, and said loudly, "The ceremony is over."
The groom personally helped the bride into the main hall.
Then comes the wedding ceremony.
I don’t know why, but on such a happy day, the emperor didn’t show up.
When the ministers who came to the wedding banquet saw this, they all understood.
As expected, the eldest prince is not favored by His Majesty.
But none of this matters, Wen Li doesn't care about any of this.
The bridesmaid was also very capable. After seeing that the newlyweds were ready, she asked them to get married in the hall.
The people watching below were also laughing, congratulating and joking around.
"Bow to heaven and earth."
"Bow to your parents twice."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
"It's a ceremony."
"Send her to the bridal chamber."
…
Shan Ning then became the man's guest again.
Not only was she there, but the eldest princess was also there.
However, she could not become a parent and could only watch from the side. She was very dissatisfied with her brother Emperor Yi.
Wen Li took Xia Yutong into the bridal chamber under the gaze of the crowd.
This is not over yet.
You also have to drink the wedding wine.
Xia Yutong sat in the middle of the bed, Wen Li hadn't left yet. She took the scale from the matchmaker's hand and lifted her veil.
The matchmaker laughed and shouted, "I wish the newlyweds all the best."
The scene before her eyes finally became clear, and Xia Yutong could see the people around her clearly.
When she saw the familiar eldest princess, she smiled sweetly.
Maybe she doesn't know how beautiful she is now.
After seeing this, many guests and ministers took a deep breath.
After coming to his senses, he was extremely envious of the eldest prince.
"Congratulations to the eldest princess on her wedding."
In order to hide their embarrassment, everyone smiled and congratulated.
At this time, the eldest princess came over.
As the elder, it was natural for her to personally preside over the wedding ceremony between the two.
"Okay, the newcomer is thin-skinned, so don't scare him." The eldest princess spoke, and the noble ladies also congratulated him together.
Some of them knew Xia Yutong, and Yuyan and the others had been there often.
"The princess is right, don't scare the beauty." A lady who was familiar with the princess stood up and said.
"Okay, okay, okay, you are the only ones who feel sorry for the beauty, we don't." Several familiar ladies approached the new bed.
"In that case, let's get started."
So, under the auspices of the eldest princess, the two drank the love wine.
As soon as the wine was brought to Xia Yutong's lips, she discovered something was wrong.
She glanced at Wen Li and saw that he drank it without saying a word. She didn't say anything more and could only drink it with him.
The wine was drugged, and she didn't know what was going on, so she could only drink it first.
Given her condition, these medicines have little effect on her.
"The ceremony is over."
Then he picked up a bowl of dumplings and asked the groom to feed it to the bride with his own hands.
Xia Yutong spit it out halfway through eating, then looked up at Wen Li: "Raw."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around her burst into laughter.
"Birth, birth, birth,"
Wen Li also smiled at her.
Xia Yutong was confused for a long time, but she couldn't eat the raw dumplings.
Wen Li fed her again.
She chewed it again and spat it out again. "It's still raw."
"Yes, I still have to give birth."
Seeing everyone joking, Xia Yutong finally understood what this meant.
His face flushed red and he glared at Wen Li.
Wen Li realized his mistake and stopped feeding her.
After putting it down, he sat next to her.
The eldest princess walked up to the two of them.
Using the scissors handed over by the matchmaker, she cut off a lock of hair from both of them.
Putting them together also means tying the knot.
Put it in a purse.
Xia Yutong was very familiar with this purse. It was embroidered by her as a novice and it was also her only embroidery work.
She originally wanted to embroider mandarin ducks, but ended up embroidering a cartoon bird.
Now that it has been taken out by the eldest princess, she is embarrassed.
The eldest princess placed the purse in Xia Yutong's hands and said, "From now on, you will be husband and wife. Your aunt wishes you a happy and harmonious life with many children and grandchildren."
"Thank you, aunt." The two stood up and thanked her.
After so many ceremonies, when the guests left, the two began their wedding night.
Since there are no elders in the house, there is no need to pay too much attention to some things.
Both of them can go to bed early or late.
