In April, the weather is warm yet cold.
On the eighteenth day, the rain poured down, the water turned into a pearl curtain, and there was chaos between heaven and earth.
The people of Yanjing City got up in the morning, looked at the wet weather, and sighed: "What a good year."
But some people also said: "Getting married in such weather is not a good marriage after all."
I don’t know if it’s because I have too many emotions or because God is so fickle, but after a night of beautiful spring breeze, when I opened the window the next morning, there was only a clear sky and beautiful weather.
On the 19th day, no one has the leisure to sigh about the spring anymore.
Today is the wedding day of the third young master of the Yongping Marquis's Mansion and the sixth young lady of the Anding Earl's Mansion. This marriage bestowed by the emperor himself is of great significance. There has been a lot of noise since morning, and every place in Yanjing is filled with red and double happiness, and the atmosphere is festive and lively.
The people in the two mansions seemed to be competing with each other. The Yongping Marquis's Mansion distributed wedding candies and gave them to everyone they met, while the Anding Earl's Mansion distributed wedding cakes and everyone passing by could get a share.
After such a lively day, the common people got real benefits. When they were enjoying the cool breeze at night, they couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that this is a perfect match between two well-matched people?"
However, at this moment, Jiang Lingyao, who was sitting in the bridal chamber, was staring at the heavy brocade veil in front of her, her waist straight and her figure graceful and elegant.
"Xingyun, what time is it?"
Jiang Lingyao's voice is gentle and clear, like the gurgling water in summer, refreshing to the ear.
Outside the veil, Xingyun, who was standing by the wedding bed, glanced at the sky outside the window, thought for a moment and said, "Miss, it's already the evening hour."
Jiang Lingyao frowned slightly and spoke softly: "Why is it so late? Go and take a look outside..."
Before she finished her words, she heard a sudden loud noise outside the door.
There seemed to be more than ten people coming, approaching from afar. They seemed to have taken the stairs to the second floor. In a blink of an eye, they were outside the door.
Jiang Lingyao's round ears twitched, and she heard a young man's voice outside: "Third brother, make trouble in the bridal chamber."
Someone immediately followed suit: "Yes, make a scene in the bridal chamber, make a scene in the bridal chamber."
There were both men and women making noises, and from what I could tell they were all young people. It was quite noisy and lively for a while.
Before Jiang Lingyao could react, she heard a low voice: "You want to disturb my bridal chamber? What treasures do you want to give me?"
Jiang Lingyao frowned slightly: "..."
Everyone in the wedding room: "..."
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
"Third brother, you are really a Pixiu. You are making a living by making trouble in the bridal chamber." The young man shouted, but he was not angry.
The deep and pleasant voice continued at a steady pace, "Give it or not?"
The young man had no choice but to admit defeat: "Okay, I'll give it to you. You can pick one of my Ting Bao Zhai's stocks."
As soon as he was generous, everyone clamored to come in, but the tall man stood solemnly outside the door, with moisture in the corners of his peach blossom eyes and his tone was misty and long.
"One? That's not okay. What if you want to make a scene in the bridal chamber and scare my wife? Xiao Si, why don't you give your third sister-in-law a gift as well?"
Before the groom finished speaking, the bride inside the door felt something in her heart, and the crowd outside the door was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Another lively young girl's voice rang out: "Third brother, everyone knows what kind of personality the Sixth Miss of the Yongping Marquis's Mansion has. How could you be scared?"
Amid the noise, the groom's voice could be clearly heard.
Jiang Lingyao's ears twitched slightly, and she heard him continue, "What kind of personality does my wife have? No matter what her personality is, she can't come to my bridal chamber empty-handed."
Such reckless behavior doesn't make people angry, but just funny.
There was more noise outside, and just when Jiang Lingyao thought everyone had left, she heard the servant outside start chanting: "A white porcelain plum vase for the fourth young master Sheng Hui."
"A piece of silk brocade with rhombus pattern woven by Fifth Miss Sheng Hui."
Jiang Lingyao: “…”
This family story is really interesting. On a happy day, one person dares to ask for something, and the other group also dares to give.
Amid the continuous reports, the "gift money" for the bridal chamber had been paid. Jiang Lingyao only heard a "click" and the door of the bridal chamber opened.
The bridal chamber, which had just been quiet, suddenly became bustling as if the night had suddenly dawned.
Amid the chaotic sound of footsteps, Jiang Lingyao could distinguish clear and heavy footsteps coming from the person walking in front.
Step by step, I walked to the bed.
Following the narrow gap under the veil, Jiang Lingyao saw a pair of brocade boots with flowery patterns. The person was standing in front of her and seemed to be looking down at her.
At this time, someone asked: "Third brother, have you drunk too much and lost your mind?"
"Hurry up and lift the veil, so we can see what the famous beauty from Yanjing looks like."
Despite the urging, the man standing in front of Jiang Lingyao did not move at all.
"First, I can drink three thousand cups without getting drunk, so how could I possibly be drunk? Second, you little bastards should behave yourself, because the girl we married is a lady from a rich family."
The little bastards burst into laughter, while the other girls said, "Third brother, why are you protecting her? We are also ladies from a rich family."
As they kept making noises like this, the eldest young lady's wife who was following behind couldn't stand it anymore. She coughed lightly and said, "The auspicious time is about to pass. Stop making noises or you'll be blamed by the old ancestor."
The eldest sister-in-law spoke, and everyone calmed down a little.
Jiang Lingyao heard the bridal chamber suddenly go quiet for a moment, and then heard the groom's voice: "My wife, your husband is about to lift the veil, don't be afraid."
Jiang Lingyao clasped her hands tightly on her knees and hummed inaudibly. Her delicate voice was like an ant, leaving a trace on people's hearts.
Following her consent, a wedding scale was extended from under the veil, and then slowly, the candlelight in the room was reflected into Jiang Lingyao's bright eyes.
The bride, in her bright red wedding gown, had a slender and graceful figure, quite like a bamboo orchid.
Her eyes were slightly drooping, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and the curve of her cheeks was soft and winding, following her red ears and disappearing into the slender tip of her chin.
As soon as the veil was lifted, everyone exclaimed in amazement, and exclaimed with two words - how beautiful!
The beauty under the lamp is charming, affectionate and swaying.
The beauty seemed to be very nervous as she was being watched by so many people. She raised her head slightly and her eyes moved to the groom's face.
Their eyes met, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Duan Nanqi, the third master of the Duan family and today's groom, has a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His eyebrows are long and straight, his nose is prominent, and especially his pair of peach blossom eyes that are as bright as the stars. There is a smile on his face, and the stars in his eyes are flowing.
What a handsome and suave man.
The bridal chamber was as bustling as a morning vegetable market just now, but now it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was shocked by this perfect couple and was stunned for a while.
Duan Nanqi looked at his beautiful bride and was stunned for just a moment. He quickly came to his senses, smiled at her, and then sat down beside her swiftly.
And his bride also smiled with her hands covering her face, they really looked like a perfect match.
The two of them sitting together were as beautiful as a painting from heaven, making people linger.
The eldest young lady looked at the pair of beautiful people. If she didn't know their background, they would be a perfect match made in heaven. But when she thought of her third brother's personality and his wife, she really...
The eldest young lady sighed in her heart. She glanced at the bridesmaid, who put her worries aside and stepped forward and said, "The auspicious time has come. It's time to have the wedding ceremony!"
The bridesmaid's voice brought everyone back to their senses.
The young masters and young ladies looked at each other, and came forward one after another, saying in unison: "Third sister-in-law, you are so beautiful, but why do those young ladies always say bad things about you?"
The one who was speaking was the fifth daughter of the Bo family. Jiang Lingyao saw that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her eyes were full of resentment, but she was not angry. She just smiled and said, "Maybe she is jealous of my beauty."
"Oh and, Fifth Sister, thank you for the brocade diamond-shaped satin," Jiang Lingyao smiled, "I'm sorry for the expense."
Her voice was soft and delicate, but these one sentence completely shattered everyone's beautiful illusion of the golden boy and jade girl.
This newlywed couple is the best example of what it means to have a beautiful exterior and rotten interior.
Duan Nanqi seemed very pleased. He looked at Jiang Lingyao and said sincerely, "I am indeed jealous, my lady."
This was a very considerate sentence. Jiang Lingyao looked at him, her face slightly flushed and her smile as beautiful as a flower.
"My husband is right."
From this perspective, the two of them seem quite friendly.
The eldest young lady breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that they would demolish Xinghuang Garden if they had a disagreement. Rebuilding it would also cost money.
The bridesmaid received the order and came forward again, saying with a smile, "The auspicious time has come."
Duan Nanqi then stood up and said to Jiang Lingyao, "Madam, please."
He gave a look and the brothers and sisters who had come into the bridal chamber to make trouble made way for the two newlyweds.
Duan Nanqi seemed to have drunk too much. He took two steps forward and his body was a little shaky. He waved his hands without anyone's support and turned his head to look at his beautiful bride.
At this moment, the fourth young master Duan Nanzhu somehow stretched out his foot and placed it right under Duan Nanzhu's foot.
With a cry of "ouch", the fourth young master Duan Nanlue bent down with a look of pain on his face, while Duan Nanqi, who had tripped his foot, staggered and fell towards Jiang Lingyao.
It all happened so fast that Jiang Lingyao seemed to be so frightened that she stood there in a daze, with no time to react.
The little girls nearby were so scared that they closed their eyes and dared not look any further.
But in a flash, Duan Nanzhuo turned around and hit his sixth brother.
The Sixth Young Master, whose shoulder was hurt by the blow, said: "..."
Duan Nanqi's blow actually woke him up. He lowered his eyes, cupped his hands and pushed Jiang Lingyao, "Madam, I'm sorry to have scared you."
He saw it clearly just now. Jiang Lingyao was not scared silly. There was even a smile in her bright phoenix eyes, as if she was sure that he would not fall on her.
Jiang Lingyao, who was apologized to in public by her new husband, also lowered her head shyly and bowed softly: "My husband is so polite."
There was no trace of coquettishness in Jiang Lingyao's eyes. She had just seen clearly that Duan Nanqi had obviously dodged his leg on purpose, but his footing was solid, and even if Jiang Lingyao didn't dodge, he would not have fallen to the ground.
The two of them bowed and when they looked up, there were smiles in their eyes as they looked at each other.
This is really interesting.
