Everyone listened carefully and indeed heard the sound of drums and music coming from the street.
"Here it comes! It's finally here!"
"Just in time for the auspicious occasion."
The guests rushed to tell each other, and soon the front door of the Lou family was crowded with people.
When the wedding procession appeared at the street corner, the servants and children couldn't wait to greet them and received a lot of wedding money.
The sedan chair landed, firecrackers rang out, and everyone gathered around, vying to see the bride.
Lou Yunchun dismounted and strode to the front of the bridal sedan chair. He then took the red mat from the servant's hand, spread it on the ground, and welcomed Xu Jiang to get out of the sedan chair.
There are rules for wedding ceremonies. After the bride gets out of the sedan chair and before entering the door, her feet cannot touch the ground, so she must step on the red carpet or red mat to enter the door.
Yin Yin supported Xu Jiang, and Wu Zhi held an umbrella for her. Every time Xu Jiang took a step, Lou Yunchun spread a mat for her, and every time a mat was spread, the guests cheered.
Who had ever seen such a sight? The groom actually turning the mat on the floor for the bride? And this man was Lou Yunchun, the usually inhumane demon?
No wonder they say the wedding night is the most joyful of the three joys in life. When you meet the right one, even the toughest man can become as soft as a thread.
Zhong Lu joked to his friends like Li Tongxue, "This little Lord Lou has nothing in common with Lord Lou, except for this one thing."
Everyone nodded and then burst into laughter.
Lou Jing, who was waiting anxiously in the main hall, felt an itch in his nose and sneezed twice.
Who is talking about him behind his back?
"Auspicious clouds are circling the roof, and joy is welcoming the door." The matchmaker led the newlyweds to the door, and everyone made way for them.
"Across the saddle—"
The two of them stepped over the saddle together, symbolizing peace and safety.
Lou Yunchun slowed down a little, waited for Xu Jiang to catch up, and then walked into the gate with her.
"Please come in, bride, the hall is full of Penglai scenery."
The matchmaker also walked in happily, feeling proud that she had finally brought the man back smoothly, and her thank-you gift was a good deal.
In the garden, a red carpet was laid from the entrance to the main hall door. The two of them held red silk and came to the Xuanhe Hall slowly, accompanied by the matchmaker's auspicious words and the blessings of the guests in the garden.
Xu Jiang was actually very familiar with this road, but at this moment she felt it was a little different. She secretly glanced at Lou Yunchun, but her gaze met his.
Lou Yunchun smiled at her with such a proud look that she couldn't help but smile too.
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
"I'm not afraid." Xu Jiang then whispered, "You're the groom, if you don't accompany me, who will?"
Wu Zhi on the side coughed, and the two looked at each other and then fell silent.
After everyone had returned to their seats, the matchmaker cleared his throat and shouted, "The flowers are in bloom, the phoenixes are singing, the swallows are flying into the hall in pairs, please enter the hall, the newlyweds—"
Wu Zhi closed her umbrella and stepped aside with Yin Yin.
The surroundings became quiet, and Xu Jiang felt his palms sweating and his heart was beating fast.
The matchmaker took over the bride and groom and stood beside her. He understood her mood and whispered to her in a soothing voice, "Go forward boldly, bride, and do as the ceremonial officer tells you. Besides, we have so many eyes watching us, so you can't go wrong."
Xu Jiang nodded slightly.
Lou Yunchun slightly tugged at the red silk in his hand.
Xu Jiang looked at him.
But he said softly with a stern face, "A Jiang, I'm a little nervous."
Xu Jiang was slightly stunned and almost laughed out loud, but fortunately he held it back in time.
Then, she also tugged at the red silk and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."
As soon as the words came out, both hearts settled down and they became closer, as if they were tightly entangled together by the red silk in each other's hands, and could never be separated from then on.
