Not to mention the whole set of makeup.
This money was absolutely well spent.
As for the person with perfect fortune, is it necessary to invite someone from outside? Our own grandmother can do it.
When combing her hair, I would only symbolically help my granddaughter a few times.
Then the rest was left to the dressing lady.
There's no such thing as a free lunch; after all that work, Yan Meiru looked incredibly beautiful.
Coupled with her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, she is inexplicably attractive.
Mrs. Yan was quite satisfied with her daughter's makeup.
In addition to the fixed wage, he was given an extra 20 taels of silver.
This delighted the wedding lady who was getting ready, and she showered her with auspicious words one after another.
Mo Jiuzhong arrived just in time to pick up the bride.
Dressed in a bright red wedding gown, riding a tall horse, with a large red silk flower adorning his chest, he looked quite festive.
The chestnut horse he was riding looked even more majestic and imposing.
Please ignore the servant on the ground who was leading Mo Jiuzhong's horse.
Logically speaking, the sons of officials should learn riding and archery skills from a young age, and Mo Jiuzhong should naturally follow suit.
However, when he was learning to ride a horse, he accidentally fell off and had to stay in bed for a full hundred days to recover.
Since then, the kid has developed a psychological aversion to horses.
If the groom hadn't had to ride a horse, this guy would have preferred to go to pick up his bride in a sedan chair.
Thinking that today was a joyous wedding day, it would be too shameful not to ride a horse to pick up his bride, so he agreed to let the servant lead the horse.
The servant who led the horse was chosen after careful consideration; he was the strongest among the guards in the household.
The purpose was that, should the horse go mad along the way, the guard could subdue it immediately and prevent the young master from being run over.
How terrified he must be of the horse! On such a joyous occasion, he's imagined the worst possible scenario.
However, since it was a wedding procession, people on both sides of the road offered their congratulations, which made Mo Jiuzhong happy.
Overwhelmed with excitement, he forgot his fear and repeatedly clasped his hands in thanks to the people on both sides of the street.
Looking at the bride in her wedding dress, Mo Jiuzhong wished he could see her face through the veil.
His face was grinning foolishly.
When bidding farewell to the bride, seeing both the bride and her mother-in-law weeping uncontrollably, Mo Jiuzhong suddenly had a thought and said,
"Mother-in-law, my wife, please don't cry. I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Don't cry. I promise I'll treat you well. I swear, from now on I'll only have you and will never take a concubine. Is that alright?
"Oh dear, why are you crying again? Don't worry, I don't want any maids, I don't want anyone, I only want my wife."
Mother-in-law, bride, guests...
They were all stunned. They'd never seen a groom start cursing and swearing before even lifting the veil.
Those unaware of the inside story might assume the bride and groom had known each other for a long time.
If there were no feelings involved, how could such a solemn vow be made?
It has always been normal for wives and concubines to take on other wives, but this young man from the Mo family only married one wife.
However, considering that he was not the eldest son in the family and had not achieved much, it was a good thing that he took fewer concubines.
Otherwise, if the family separates in the future, it will be a big problem if he can't afford to support his wife.
The group of drinking buddies said that Mo Jiuzhong had gone mad, blinded by lust.
Some of them had seen Yan Meiru's true face, but they hadn't realized just how beautiful she was, or how she could have captivated Mo Jiuzhong so completely.
In the future, after they get married, they will certainly not just live with one wife.
