Chapter 292 Marriage
The whole northwest knew that General Li was getting married. People were waiting in the streets early to watch the ceremony. A tall white horse, a majestic young general, and a red dress that was carried for dozens of miles were carried all the way from the Lin family. The soldiers maintained an orderly manner. The surging crowd, everyone stretched their heads to watch the wedding, and even talked loudly about the feelings of the two.
"I heard that General Li has been in love with Miss Lin for a long time, and he hurriedly prepared to get married after the war ended."
"That's right. I also heard that General Li only has Miss Lin in his heart. The arrangements for this wedding were personally supervised by General Li."
"Yes, I have a distant cousin who serves under General Li. It is said that General Li and Miss Lin were a perfect match in this battle. General Li fought bravely in the front, while Miss Lin provided food, grass, and herbs for the entire people..."
"I've heard about this too. We have General Li and Miss Lin in the Northwest, and they are a blessing to the people of the Northwest. Thanks to them, we have been able to save the Northwest and avoid being displaced."
"And what about Master Jun and Madam Jun? This time, it was said that it was thanks to Master Jun and Madam Jun that they were able to recapture the city tower."
Li Xiao rode on his horse and bowed to the people on both sides with a smile on his face.
"Thank you very much, thank you all, fellow villagers."
The people on both sides also bowed and congratulated.
"Congratulations, General Li. I wish you and Miss Lin a long and happy life together."
"Congratulations, General Li. May General Li and Miss Lin have a baby soon."
Lin Hanzhi, who was inside, listened to the people's loud blessings, her face full of smiles under the veil.
Following the wedding procession, we arrived at Li's residence.
Witnessed by numerous soldiers from the Northwest and countless members of the Jun family, Li Xiao and Lin Hanzhi each held one end of the red silk and slowly walked towards the hall to pay their respects.
As the emcee shouted.
"The bride enters the house and crosses the fire, and next year there will be more wealth and more children."
Li Xiao carefully led Lin Hanzhi across the fire basin.
Li's mother sat in the main seat, and there was a seat on the table next to her.
When two newcomers came forward.
The emcee shouted again.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, and then husband and wife bow to each other."
Following the master of ceremonies’ loud shouts, the two men bowed to heaven and earth.
Mother Li's face was filled with joy, her eyes reddened, she looked down at Father Li's ranking, and spoke.
"Master, our Xiao'er is getting married. He married the girl you chose."
Following the host's shout.
"The ceremony is over, and we will be escorted to the bridal chamber."
Li Xiao supported Lin Hanzhi and walked towards the bridal chamber.
Lu Zhan and Fang Zhiyi invited General Song and others to attend the banquet and drink wedding wine.
"Come on, brothers, we have finished watching the ceremony. Let's go have a drink. We must have a few more drinks today to share in the good fortune and strive to get those of us who are still unmarried a wife soon."
Song Huaian spoke with a smile.
"Lu Zhan, I'm afraid your son will be here soon."
Arriving at the bridal chamber, Li Xiao looked at Lin Hanzhi in front of him, his heart filled with joy. He reached out his hand and gently lifted her red veil, revealing her beautiful face.
"Zhizhi, I finally married you. From now on, you are my, Li Xiao's, wife."
Lin Hanzhi's beautiful eyes were filled with shyness and timidity.
"Yes, from now on I will be Mrs. Li."
Li Xiao helped her walk to the table.
"Let's drink the wedding wine first. I'll go out to greet the guests later. I'll ask Madam Jun to come and keep you company. I've had someone prepare some delicious side dishes for you. The maid will bring them in later. Don't starve yourself."
As he said this, he handed a glass of wine to Lin Hanzhi.
The two smiled at each other, held hands and drank the wedding wine together.
Lin Hanzhi looked at Li Xiao and spoke softly.
"But isn't it forbidden to eat in the bridal chamber?"
Li Xiao reached out and pinched her cheek.
"I took off your veil early so you could eat. Don't worry about the formalities. Just be yourself in front of your husband. We shouldn't follow the so-called rules in front of ourselves. The people outside are still waiting, so I'll go out first. Please wait for me to come back."
Lin Hanzhi nodded happily after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Soon after Li Xiao left, the little maid brought up the food, being very respectful from beginning to end.
"Hello, Madam. The General specially ordered the kitchen to make this for you."
After setting the table, he bowed and left.
Xia Lan watched the two maids leave.
"Miss, the son-in-law really values you. These two maids look pretty good."
Lin Hanzhi glanced at Xia Lan and spoke angrily.
"You can tell someone is good just by serving them a dish. You tend to see the good in everyone."
But I was filled with joy.
As soon as Su Hanchu came in, he saw Lin Hanzhi with a smile on her face.
"Ah, no wonder Li Xiao looked so smug when he went out just now. Look at our Hanzhi, she is truly a beauty from the northwest, with a dazzling appearance. Who wouldn't be happy and confused when seeing her?"
Lin Hanzhi stood up as soon as she saw Su Hanchu.
"Sister, you're here."
Su Hanchu raised his hand to signal her to sit down, and then he sat down as well.
"Shouldn't I come? Your Li Xiao found me as soon as he left. He said he was worried that you would be bored in the bridal chamber, so he asked me to come and keep you company."
After hearing this, Lin Hanzhi spoke quickly.
"Sister, you haven't had time to eat yet, come and eat with us."
Su Hanchu was not polite and took the chopsticks handed to him by Xia Lan. He had come to have dinner with the bride.
"Okay, I'll eat with you and wait a moment. Well, you'll have more energy and won't have to suffer later..."
Lin Hanchu blushed all over.
"Sister, you really are..."
Xia Lan and Ping'er covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
At the wedding banquet.
Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and spoke to Jun Moye sincerely.
"Sir, I offer my respects to you. I thank you and your wife for arranging this marriage for me. I won't say more. It's all in this glass of wine. I will also prove it with my actions in the future."
There were all kinds of people at the wedding banquet, so of course they couldn't talk about anything casually. Jun Moye and Li Xiao clinked their glasses.
"You and Miss Lin are able to finally get married, which shows that you both have each other in your hearts. In the future, husband and wife should work together to support each other and be tolerant and understanding of each other."
Li Xiao spoke quickly after hearing this.
"Mr. Jun is right. Li Xiao will keep it in mind."
The expression of Marquis Shenwu on the side changed slightly. It seemed that the relationship between Li Xiao and Jun Moye was deeper than he thought. This marriage was arranged by the Jun family, and in just a few days, they actually invited all the soldiers in the northwest to a wedding banquet.
Jun Moye is still a commoner on the surface, but in fact his power cannot be underestimated. If the late emperor were still alive, it would be unknown who the future master of Tianyuan would be. Moreover, Li Xiao always puts Jun Moye first in everything. It seems that Jun Moye will be the dark lord of the northwest in the future.
Li Xiao brought the wine to the front of Shenwu Hou.
"Lord Shenwu Hou, this cup is in your honor. Thank you for coming to the wedding."
