After both of them have offered tea, the elder will give gifts, which are always auspicious items in pairs.
After receiving the gift, the newlyweds expressed their gratitude again.
"Thank you, godfather, and thank you, mother."
Master Lin and Xizhi nodded with satisfaction.
"Newcomer training—"
The two knelt on the cushions and listened to the elder's teachings.
Master Lin looked at his two children, his eyes full of love. "From now on, you are married. You should share joys and sorrows, take care of each other, and respect your parents, raise future generations, and shoulder the responsibilities of a wife in the family."
Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun both responded, "We will listen carefully to our foster father's instructions."
Master Lin nodded, "Okay, okay."
The two turned to Xizhi. Xizhi took a deep breath, suppressed her sobs, and smiled at her daughter and new son-in-law. She said, "I just hope you will be safe and sound in the future, for a long time to come."
She had no instructions, she just hoped that her two children would be safe and long-lasting.
Xu Jiang nodded, "Thank you for your blessing, mother."
Lou Yunchun also said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of A Jiang."
"Good boy." Xizhi nodded at him, then looked at Xu Jiang, swallowing back tears and saying, "Go."
Xu Jiang bowed to Master Lin and Xi Zhi and said, "My daughter bids farewell to her adoptive father and mother."
After the greeting, Xun Yan shouted, "Xing."
Wu Zhi stepped forward and helped Xu Jiang up.
Xun Yan: "Thank you for coming."
Master Lin and Xi Zhi stood up and, together with Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun, bowed to the guests to express their gratitude.
"The ceremony is over——"
Xun Yan stepped aside, and the matchmaker connected again, singing with a smile: "Today is a great day for marrying off my daughter. May the marriage be blessed by heaven and last forever. Please invite the bride out——"
Wu Zhi handed the fan to Xu Jiang to cover her face, then took the umbrella handed to her by Song Qiao and helped Xu Jiang walk out.
Xizhi, Master Lin, and many relatives and friends also went out to see them off.
"The bride is going out!" With a shout, the crowd became noisy and congratulations continued.
After receiving Xu Jiang, Lou Yunchun was no longer anxious. He took her hand and walked slowly, responding to the blessings of relatives and friends.
Xu Jiang saw it with his own eyes, heard it with his own ears, and kept it in his heart.
She turned around and looked at Xizhi, who had been staring at her. The mother and daughter looked at each other, tears and smiles in their eyes. They saw relief and longing for the future in each other's eyes.
Under the tree, Liang Mo and Zeng Zhui lit firecrackers. When everyone came out with the newlyweds, Lao Duan and the patrolmen surrounded the bride and groom with wedding money and scattered it to the guests.
The sounds of firecrackers, cheers and congratulations were heard everywhere, but Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun felt each other's inner confidence and peace through the red silk in their hands.
Lou Yunchun turned around to look at Xu Jiang, pulled her closer to him, then paused for a moment and called out in her ear, "A Jiang."
Xu Jiang heard it, moved the fan away, revealing one eye, and smiled at him.
Lou Yunchun kept smiling and called out again, "Madam."
Xu Jiang took a deep breath and was about to reply to him with a hot face, but a red umbrella was opened above her head, pushing Lou Yunchun away.
Wu Zhi supported Xu Jiang and reminded her, "Watch the road."
Xu Jiang coughed and quickly covered her face with the fan.
Lou Yunchun took Xu Jiang to the bridal sedan chair, and under the guidance of the matchmaker, Wu Zhi sent Xu Jiang into the bridal sedan chair.
"The loud gongs and drums celebrate the happy marriage, and the happy smiles congratulate the auspicious day." After the matchmaker finished singing, he waved to the drum and music team, and the sound of celebratory drums and music immediately resounded throughout the streets and alleys.
"If the groom walks around the sedan chair three times, he will have no worries in his future."
Lou Yunchun mounted the horse and walked around the sedan chair three times, and everyone laughed again.
"The wedding sedan is swaying together, no worries about firewood, rice, oil, lift the sedan -"
Xu Jiang had just sat down and was about to lift the curtain to take a look when he suddenly felt something light beneath him, and then the whole sedan began to shake.
The sedan shook three times and then stopped.
She steadied herself, lifted a corner of the sedan chair curtain, and looked towards the bookstore. She saw her mother waving and wiping her tears, as well as Master Lin, Lin Hongchu, Uncle Cao, Aunt Cao, Manager Wang, Qin and other relatives and friends, all crowded under the tree to see them off.
They also stood crowded together in her heart.
Xu Jiang's heart was filled with joy. They were her most precious gains and achievements since she opened a bookstore in the capital.
Yin Yin came over and said childishly, "Don't cry, Sister Xu, we'll be back soon."
Did she cry? Xu Jiang touched her face and felt a damp heat.
"I am crying for joy." Xu Jiang stretched out his hand and pinched Yin Yin's face, thinking: This lovely little girl, the kind and wise couple of the Lou family, and the guide who is walking in front are also indispensable.
“Let’s go—!”
Following a cheerful command, the wedding procession, accompanied by thunderous joy and laughter, poured out of Huailiu Lane together with the gathered guests and headed towards Zhaoxingfang Lou's house.
The wedding sedan went away and most of the guests were gone. Most of them were relatives and friends of both parties. After making fun of one side, they went to make fun of the other side.
Hu Xuhe and Zeng stayed behind to help with the greetings and arrangements.
Xizhi stood under the tree for a long time, refusing to go back inside. Lin Hongchu and Song Qiao stood with her for a long time before finally persuading her to go back inside. She then sat down at a table with Aunt Cao, Qin, and the others, all in a lively atmosphere.
During the meal, Lin Hongchu held Xizhi's hand and comforted her, "Aunt, don't worry, I will be here with you until your sister comes back."
"Good girl." Xizhi caressed her face lovingly, then held her in her arms.
This is also a lovely girl.
————Nervous cat head dividing line————
Outside the gate of the building, everyone was looking forward to it.
"Here she comes! The bride is here!" Ah Shou ran back from the street and announced to everyone, "She's at the corner and will be right over."
