Chapter 244 Entrance

At this time, the British Duke's Mansion was crowded with guests and bustling with people.

Song Yichun stood in the main hall. Although he was unhappy, he still forced himself to greet the relatives and friends who came to watch the ceremony. His face was almost frozen with smiles.

He took the time to whisper to Li Xian, the manager of the social office who was accompanying him, "Is Mr. Tao not back yet?"

How could the fourth daughter of the Dou family suddenly have an extra dowry of banknotes? Without Song Yichun's instructions, Tao Qizhong took the initiative to inquire about the news. However, there was no definite news from yesterday to today. Song Yichun was very uneasy. He always felt that he seemed to have neglected something, but he couldn't figure out where he had neglected it. This made him feel as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and he was very uneasy.

Li Xian said hurriedly: "Mr. Tao has not come back yet. However, I have asked someone to wait for Mr. Tao in his room. As soon as Mr. Tao comes back, I will ask him to come and see you immediately."

Song Yichun nodded slightly and saw Lu Fuli, with white hair and beard, walking towards him.

He readjusted his mood, greeted him with a warm smile, called him "Second Uncle" and bowed.

Although Lu Fuli was the second child, his older brother died at the age of eight, so he was actually the eldest son of the Lu family. Hearing that Song Yichun had married Song Mo with a very wealthy wife, Lu Fuli was not as satisfied as his eldest grandson Lu Zhan thought.

He called Song Yichun to a quiet corridor outside and asked him in a low voice, "What kind of person is the fourth daughter of the Dou family? Have you ever asked about her in person?"

Song Yichun was a little impatient.

This was the third time Lu Fuli asked him this question.

The first time was when the Lu family heard that he was asking for the fourth daughter of the Dou family to be the wife of Song Mo, and they came to inquire about the details; the second time was when he went to deliver the wedding invitations to the Lu family.

"Second uncle," Song Yichun said angrily, "Yan Tang is my son. Would I harm him?"

Lu Fuli frowned upon hearing this and said, "Do you think that I, as your uncle, am too controlling? I see that there is no one in charge of the British mansion, and I am afraid that you may have chosen the wrong person..."

Song Yichun's displeasure was revealed in his eyes and eyebrows.

Lu Fuli couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Song Yichun was also going to marry a daughter-in-law and become a father-in-law, and he couldn't always stare at him like a child, so he swallowed his unfinished words and talked about some of his worries: "Is there no news from the Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Cining Palace?"

In the past, when the crown prince, eldest son, or eldest grandson of the Duke of England married, the palace would give them rewards.

"No!" Song Yichun felt a little uneasy when he said this, and whispered, "I heard that the emperor is not in good health. I'm afraid the palace is not in the mood to care about these things?" But he was guessing in his heart, could it be that the emperor was angry that he suddenly arranged a marriage for Song Mo, and he took this opportunity to show him a warning?

Lu Fuli asked, "Can you guess why?"

"How can I guess the boss' intentions at will?" Song Yichun's words sounded very high-sounding, which made Lu Fuli feel uncomfortable.

By the time the fourth daughter of the Dou family comes home, the Song and Lu families will probably be even further away.

If I had known this earlier, I should have chosen one of my granddaughters to marry into the Song family.

Lu Fuli sighed deeply and returned to the main hall.

However, Song Yichun didn't want to force a smile and greet the guests anymore.

He ordered Li Xian: "Wait until the sedan chair arrives, then go call me." Then he returned to Xixiangyuan.

Who knew that just as he lay down, Song Mo came back with a sedan chair.

He went to the main hall while muttering to himself.

The sedan chair crossed over the basin of money and grain, Song Mo shot the curtain, and the bride got off the sedan chair holding the vase.

Only then did everyone realize that the bride was quite tall.

Women consider obedience as a virtue, so tall women are naturally not as gentle and docile as petite women.

Ma Youming and others couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Shen Qing even whispered to Zhang Xuming: "Will Song Da be frightened when he lifts the veil?"

Making a scene in the bridal chamber is something only people from poor families do.

They could only wait until the bride returned home three days later and then sneak into the Duke of England's mansion under the pretext of being close friends, and only then would they have the chance to see the bride's true face.

Zhang Xuming was not in a hurry, because his wife was the best man and he could ask her when he got home.

Hearing the discussion, Song Yichun smiled without saying anything and felt better.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, the newlyweds, escorted by the best man's wife Wang Qinghuai and the wife of Zhang Xuming, entered the bridal chamber.

At this time, the people from the bride's side who were accompanying the bride had been arranged to rest in other places. Only the bride's happy people followed and, together with the groom's happy people, followed the newlyweds into the bridal chamber.

After tightening their collars, spreading the tent, and lifting the veil, Song Mo and Dou Zhao finally met again.

Song Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When the bride presents the makeup, the groom must thank her. However, the ceremony of thanking her is sometimes held on the day of the makeup, when the groom goes to the bride's house with the makeup promoter, and then kowtows to his father-in-law and mother-in-law to express "thanking the bride and welcoming the makeup". Others are arranged on the day of the wedding, when the wedding sedan enters the house, and the groom, accompanied by the matchmaker, goes straight to the main hall and kowtows to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If you have thanked your parents on the day of the makeup, you don't need to thank them again on the day of the wedding. The two ceremonies cannot be performed at the same time. In the former case, the groom goes to the bride's house with the makeup promoter and brings a lot of gifts. On the day of the wedding, he can just leave with the sedan chair, which looks both decent and straightforward. When marrying a daughter-in-law in Kyoto, most people will adopt the former method. And he chose to go to thank his parents on the wedding day just to see Dou Zhao get into the sedan chair with his own eyes... He didn't want to be self-righteous and make the same mistake that Wei Tingyu had made!

Dou Zhao, finally got married to me smoothly!

But before he could settle down, Mrs. Zhao suddenly shouted, "Promotion! Promotion!"

Song Mo was stunned.

He knew that his father-in-law's most trusted steward was called Gao Sheng, but what did his marriage have to do with Gao Sheng?

Song Mo saw Mrs. Zhao quickly snatch the red veil from his hand.

He couldn't help but look at Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao couldn't help laughing and turned away.

Mrs. Zhao asked Song Mo not to sit down...

Song Mo looked confused.

Mrs. Zhao and Grandma Lu saw it and started laughing too.

Grandma Lu walked up to Song Mo and explained quietly: "You have to put the veil under your buttocks!"

"Oh!" Song Mo came back to his senses and reached out to take the lid from Mrs. Zhao's hand, "I didn't know there was such a rule..."

Mrs. Zhao unexpectedly waved her hand, leaving Song Mo empty-handed.

"That won't do!" Mrs. Zhao laughed, "You didn't sit down just now, so you can't sit down now!"

Grandma Lu also laughed and said, "This is just a lucky omen - if the groom sits the veil under his buttocks, he will be better than the bride after the wedding!"

Song Mo couldn't help but laugh: "Well, then don't sit down!"

Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this.

Grandma Lu looked at Dou Zhao, who had long eyebrows, a heroic look, and a dazzling appearance, and couldn't help but sigh.

Even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman!

Uncle Song, such a cold and aloof person, actually said such ridiculous words when he met the bride!

She told Song Mo: "Quickly pick a velvet flower from your sister's head and stick it high up."

However, Song Mo wanted to ask the reason, as if he was afraid that Dou Zhao would suffer a loss.

Dou Zhao was a little dumbfounded.

She never dreamed that Song Mo would be so mean...

Dou Zhao lowered his head, pretending he saw nothing!

Grandma Lu was both angry and amused. She glanced at Dou Zhao and said, "It means that the couple is getting along well and will have a son soon!"

Song Mo then blushed and plucked a velvet flower from Dou Zhao's hair, and asked Grandma Lu, "Where should I put it?"

"You can insert it anywhere!" Grandma Lu learned her lesson and said with a smile, "Insert it above to give birth to a son, insert it below to give birth to a daughter."

Song Mo looked at the white wall with the double happiness characters in silver patterns and couldn't help wondering: What is the top? What is the bottom? If I want to have both sons and daughters, where should I put it?

For a moment I was very hesitant and hesitated to move forward.

Wang Qinghuai's wife noticed something was going on. She whispered to Song Mo, "Why not insert it in the direction of the God of Happiness?"

The direction for placing the God of Happiness has been calculated by a Feng Shui master and is the most auspicious direction for the newlyweds.

Song Mo suddenly realized, gave Madam Wang Shao a grateful look, and inserted the velvet flower in the middle.

Grandma Lu suddenly felt relieved.

If Song Mo keeps procrastinating like this, he might delay the toast.

She hurriedly handed the prepared wedding wine to the two of them.

This time Song Mo did not ask anything. He happily drank the wedding wine with Dou Zhao and ate the "Zisun Dumplings". Then Song Mo went to the main hall in front to toast. Dou Zhao sat cross-legged on the kang facing the God of Joy.

The wedding ceremony is complete.

On behalf of the Song family, Grandma Lu escorted Mrs. Zhao to the flower hall where the Dou family's bridegrooms were resting. Madam Wang and Grandma Zhang San led the maids and wives who were serving in the house to leave.

The new house was quiet. The only sound was the crackling of lights and the faint noise coming from the outer courtyard, which made the new house seem even quieter.

Dou Zhao heard a maid whispering outside: "Miss, you can't go in! The prince has said that if you want to see the bride, you can see her tomorrow when you meet her."

"You are talking nonsense." A little girl shouted sharply, "Third cousin would never say such a thing! If you dare to stop me again, I will tell Second Uncle!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask the prince!" The maid said in a gentle voice, "How dare I lie in front of you?"

The little girl screamed in dissatisfaction, and someone came and pulled the little girl away.

Peace returned to the surroundings.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but think of his wedding in his previous life.

From the moment she got out of the carriage, there were people everywhere. She was panicking and confused. She lifted the veil, not knowing what to do, but then she heard Wei Tingzhen's stern but somewhat picky voice... After Wei Tingyu went to toast, the gossipy women of the Wei family criticized her in front of her before leaving.

She originally thought that this was how marriage was. Although she was unhappy, she didn't take it too seriously.

Later, after seeing it more often, I realized that some families follow ancient customs and the bride has to stay alone in the bridal chamber before the marriage ceremony.

She felt that this kind of wedding was solemn and she felt a little jealous.

Unexpectedly, Song Mo inadvertently gave her such a wedding.

Is this a good start?

I wonder who that little girl is from the Song family?

Dou Zhao was deeply impressed by the maid's calmness.

People like this can be useful in the future!

As she was thinking, she heard the door creak open and Sulan jumped in.
