Chapter 272 Wedding
"Ding Ding Dong Dong~"
Raindrops hit the carved window frames, and the sound was as crisp as pearls falling to the ground.
Wei Changtian's mind moved, and he summoned the red winged fish into the air.
"Fish sister, what on earth are you?"
“.”
"Can you understand me?"
“.”
"Are you a living thing or a dead thing?!"
“.”
"Nima!"
“.”
The man and the fish stared at each other. Wei Changtian failed to communicate with them and had no choice but to reluctantly take the luck-winning fish back into his dantian.
If possible, he really needs an "Instruction Manual for Traveling to Another World" now.
But obviously there is no such thing, so everything is just guesswork.
It has been detected that the host has no connection with the "Heavenly Way" of this world and cannot enjoy the luck bonus. From the literal meaning, this sentence should mean that one's luck is not controlled by the "Heavenly Way" of this world.
To put it bluntly, no matter how much luck you plunder, your luck will not get better.
The same is true in reverse, your luck won't be too bad either.
This is actually quite consistent with Wei Changtian's experience after traveling through time.
Whether it was killing Xiao Feng or plundering some of the luck of heaven from Shen Ran and Ning Yongnian, his luck was always neither good nor bad, and maintained at a very average level.
As for the reason, needless to say, it must be because I came from another world.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered the "Road to Heaven" in the Tianluo Sect.
The Tianluo sect disciple who guided him at that time once said that the road to the sky tests "talent" rather than "gift".
Now that I think about it, this "talent" probably refers to "luck value".
And precisely because he was not under the control of the laws of nature in this world at all, he was not affected by the road to heaven at all and walked through the three hundred steps easily.
"Um"
Feeling that his guess was becoming more and more reliable, Wei Changtian nodded with satisfaction, and then thought of another key question.
Is it a bad thing or a good thing to not be affected by the laws of nature? "."
Monk Huian of the Folian Temple once cursed himself that "good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished", and he casually retorted, "Everything depends on human efforts."
At that time, Wei Changtian said this simply because he was unhappy with the old bald man, and he didn't know that his own fate was actually in his own hands.
But I don’t want to control it in my own hands! Wei Changtian wailed in his heart.
If this hadn't happened, I would have been a man of great fortune who could get opportunities even by peeing!
Even if he is not as good as Xiao Feng, he is definitely stronger than Shen Ran, Ning Yongnian and others!
But what about now?
There is no doubt that it is completely impossible to "win in life without doing anything".
Damn! His mood instantly became depressed. Wei Changtian was silent for a while, then he turned his head and looked out the window again.
The rain was everywhere, and everything was white.
In the distance, there were wisps of green smoke rising into the sky. It must be that people were burning incense in the land temple, praying to the land god to show up and stop the flooding.
The next day, the tenth day of April, was Grain Full.
Grain Full, Grain Full, the rivers are gradually filling up.
The proverb, which originally meant "good weather and good harvest", seems to have become a curse for Shuzhou today.
However, to everyone's surprise, just as the sky was getting light, the heavy rain that had been falling for seven days suddenly stopped without any warning.
Soon, dawn broke.
The morning sun instantly enveloped the earth, the blue sky was covered with rolling clouds, and the newly born red sun spared no effort to emit thousands of rays of light, as if the heavy rain a few days ago was fake.
“The rain has stopped!”
"God has finally opened his eyes!"
"Wow, wow, wow, my dear father! Come and see, the sun is out!"
"Fuck, I finally got a few days off from work."
“.”
Noticing that the rain had stopped, the people walked out of their homes, stood on the still wet ground, looked up at the extremely friendly morning sun, and kept thanking all the gods.
At the same time, a huge wedding procession set out from Yongquan Lane in the west of the city, with music and drums, escorting a sedan chair through the streets and alleys towards the south of the city.
If it is "marriage", the groom Wei Changtian should go to the bride's house in person to pick her up.
However, there is no such thing as "taking a concubine". The bride has to come to the wedding house herself, and there is no need for such a grand ceremony.
Of course, Wei Changtian didn’t understand this.
He had only one request for this wedding from the beginning to the end - to make it as grand as possible within the scope of etiquette! That's why Li Suyue and Yuan'er arranged a sedan chair with eight bearers, and also had a singing group, a music group and so on.
Except for the absence of a groom to welcome the bride, the scene was almost no different from a wedding.
"Huh? Whose happy event is this?"
"Don't you know? Today is the day when Master Wei takes in a concubine!"
"Master Wei? Is that the Master Wei who killed Prime Minister Liu? No, the Master Wei who killed the thief Liu?"
"Exactly!"
"Hiss, I wonder whose girl is so unlucky or lucky!"
"I heard that she is a female officer from the Xuanjing Division. She is very pretty and has superb kung fu skills!"
"Kung Fu? What kind of Kung Fu do you mean?"
"Hmm? Brother, I felt something was wrong with you just now!"
“.”
The long wedding procession consisted of nearly a hundred people, and wherever they went there were surrounded by people watching the fun.
The men would whisper a few words about Wei Changtian, while the women mostly stared at the bridal sedan with envy on their faces.
Many children followed the team and scrambled for the wedding money, and occasionally adults would also join in.
After all, unlike the ordinary wedding money from others, Wei Changtian's wedding money was real copper coins, and every time Zhang San waved his hand, he would throw out at least hundreds of coins.
The sounds of suona, congratulations and noise are all pleasant to the ears.
Decorated in red and decorated with colorful ribbons, with music and dance playing, the whole journey was a great success.
Not until Zhang San, who was standing on the carriage, threw out all the copper coins in the sack did the wedding procession finally arrive at the destination in a lively manner. They entered the courtyard through the main gate under the happy gaze of Wei Changtian, who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
The curtain of the sedan chair was drawn open, and Comrade Xiao Xu made a brilliant appearance in the spotlight.
Her dark black hair was combed to the top of her head and tied into a bun like dark clouds and snow. A long hairpin that looked very valuable was neatly inserted across it. The golden tassels would sway slightly with Xu Qingwan's steps, but would not touch the latter's blushing cheeks.
"hiss"
"Concubine" could not cover herself with a red veil, so Xu Qingwan's appearance, which looked like a fairy from heaven, was seen by all the guests in the courtyard.
Those who came to congratulate today were people like Chu Xianping and Chen Bo who had known Wei Changtian for a long time. Naturally, they had also met Comrade Xiao Xu before, and some of them were even very familiar with him.
It’s just that Xu Qingwan had been working in the Xuan Jing Division before, and she always gave outsiders the impression of being very heroic. Where had people ever seen her dressed so femininely?
And now that I have seen it today, I have only one word to say: absolutely amazing!
"Slurp~"
Wei Changtian swallowed his saliva calmly and walked towards Xu Qingwan, while shouting in his heart that the marketing methods of capitalists in his previous life were not all misleading!
At the very least, a woman should look the most beautiful in her life when she wears a wedding dress.
Of course, wearing a wedding dress several times is another matter.
"Wan'er."
Standing opposite Xu Qingwan, Wei Changtian praised sincerely: "You look so good today."
"Um"
Comrade Xiao Xu's cheeks suddenly turned redder. He didn't know what to say, so he just nodded stupidly.
"Hahaha, let's go and worship in the hall."
Wei Changtian burst out laughing and reached out to hold Xu Qingwan's hand.
However, as the latter's little hand shrank back as if it had been electrocuted, he realized that he had been too excited and had forgotten Yuan'er's instructions yesterday -
Young Master, until tomorrow before entering the bridal chamber, you must remember not to touch Miss Xu! Otherwise, others will laugh at you! Even if the bridal chamber ceremony is not over, Xu Qingwan is not your wife yet, so you must abide by the rule of "no physical contact between men and women".
Although Wei Changtian and Comrade Xiao Xu had even kissed each other in private, no one saw it after all, and no one would know unless they said anything.
But now it's a "public place", and so many eyes are watching their every move, so it would be inappropriate to do this.
Even if Wei Changtian didn't care and others didn't dare to say anything, Xu Qingwan was, after all, a girl from a respectable family, and if the news got out, people would probably gossip about her.
"Ahem, there's a weed on your sleeve."
With a dry cough, Wei Changtian patted Xu Qingwan's long sleeve somewhat awkwardly, brushed away the non-existent weed, and wanted to take his hand back.
But at this moment.
"Um?"
A warm, moist, and slightly trembling little hand suddenly entered his palm and immediately tightly grasped Wei Changtian's fingertips.
Warmth is the rise in body temperature caused by shyness.
The dampness is caused by sweaty palms due to nervousness.
Trembling is muscle spasm caused by anxiety.
But no matter how shy, nervous, and uneasy he was, between his own face and Wei Changtian's face, Comrade Xiao Xu chose the latter without hesitation.
“.”
After being stunned for a moment, Wei Changtian suddenly held Xu Qingwan's hand, and then strode towards the main hall decorated with lights and colorful decorations in the "desperate" eyes of Yuan'er and Li Suyue.
"Walk!"
"Go to the hall!"
Similar to the previous life, the wedding ceremony in this world also requires three bows.
One bow, heaven and earth.
Although the "Heaven and Earth" of this world not only did not help Wei Changtian at all, it even sent some Sons of Heaven to cause trouble for him all day long.
But Wei Changtian did not do anything fancy like "What the hell is the sky? I don't worship it!" He just bowed towards the east honestly.
Second bow, parents.
Compared to "worshiping heaven and earth", Wei Changtian was willing to "worship his parents".
However, because Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen were still in the capital to deal with the "remnants" of the Liu family, Qin Zhengqiu had to sit in the upper seat and accept the greetings from Wei Changtian and Xu Qingwan.
Three bows, husband and wife.
Wei Changtian had also gone through this step when he married Lu Jingyao before, but they were both very perfunctory at the time. Those who knew about it thought it was the couple bowing to each other, while those who didn't think it was just the two nodding and saying hello.
But Wei Changtian certainly couldn't be so perfunctory towards Xu Qingwan.
He put his hands to his chest and bowed seriously, but when he looked up, his foreheads bumped into each other accidentally.
“.”
Looking at the shy Comrade Xu, Wei Changtian felt that what he had just done was not perfect, so he asked in a low voice: "How about... bowing again?"
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan was stunned and nodded weakly: "Yeah, yeah"
Without waiting for the master of ceremonies Chu Xianping to speak, the two men bowed to each other again, leaving everyone around them stunned.
Only Qin Zhengqiu, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly in praise:
"Changtian is so demanding!"
"good!"
After the wedding ceremony, the next activity is dinner.
Although in the previous life the newlyweds had to toast each table, according to true etiquette, the bride was not allowed to show up during the banquet, but had to go to the "bridal chamber" to wait for her husband.
Xu Qingwan soon went to the newly decorated house accompanied by Yuan'er.
Then the dozens of banquet tables in the courtyard officially began.
As the "King of Shuzhou" in name only, Wei Changtian only set up dozens of banquet tables for his concubine, which made the scene look a bit shabby.
But in fact, anyone who can come and have a sip of wine today are all famous figures in Shuzhou.
And these people naturally cannot come empty-handed.
A long list of gifts was sent to Chu Xianping, who then selected dozens of "lucky ones" based on the value of the gifts to have the "honor" of having a drink with Wei Changtian.
Of course, Wei Changtian is a cultivator, so if he really drinks, it would be no problem for him to toast everyone present ten times.
But you still have to take the necessary shelves.
According to Chu Xianping, this is called "the art of controlling subordinates". Wei Changtian was too lazy to think about it. He drank with dozens of people according to the list provided by the former, and then returned to the main table to start drinking with Qin Zhengqiu and others.
The sun gradually sank to the west and then fell completely into the sky.
Dozens of big red lanterns were hung high, and the banquet started at the third hour and ended at the end of the eighth hour.
There were no remnants of the Liu family who suddenly attacked, no Son of Heaven who came to steal the bride, and not even any guests who made a scene after drinking. The banquet ended in a festive and harmonious atmosphere.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Yang Liushi urged Wei Changtian to write a poem, and the latter waved his hand and recited four lines casually:
Last night's stars, last night's wind, the painted building is to the west and the osmanthus hall is to the east.
Although we don’t have the wings of a phoenix, our hearts are connected with each other.
The most famous love poem by Li Shangyin, a professional in writing love poems, is naturally of a very high standard.
As for the reactions of the crowd , there is no doubt that everyone was shocked.
At the beginning of the hour of Hai, the moon rises above the starry sky.
When Wei Changtian walked into the bridal chamber drunk, Xu Qingwan was wearing her wedding gown and bending over the table, writing a letter seriously. She quickly put down her pen when she heard the noise.
"Have you finished your drink?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian walked over and asked casually with a smile: "Who are you writing to? Your parents?"
"No."
Xu Qingwan answered honestly: "It's Zhou Cheng."
"What? Zhou Cheng???"
No, what kind of operation is it to write a letter to another man on the wedding night? Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something and asked tentatively in disbelief:
"You wrote to Zhou Cheng, weren't you just writing for the twenty taels?"
"Um"
Comrade Xiao Xu nodded embarrassedly, and the tassels of the golden hairpin on his head swayed twice.
"If, now that you have married me, then the twenty taels of silver I bet on will be a win."
"I, I want Zhou Cheng to send it to me as soon as possible."
“.”
Sure enough! I knew it! Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, and asked suspiciously: "The reason you married me is not just for these twenty taels of silver!"
This was actually said in a joking manner, but Comrade Xiao Xu became anxious after hearing it.
“No, it’s not!”
She waved her hands hurriedly, and at the same time, she fumbled out a stack of still warm silver bills from her chest and held them in front of Wei Changtian in panic.
"This, this is all the money I saved!"
"All, all for you!"
