Chapter 131 The Wedding Banquet Begins
Konjac still had a hidden worry in her heart. Her relationship with Qiao Yishi was going well. Although she didn't want to get married so soon, she was indeed not young anymore.
When she was in the Chen Mansion before, she had never thought about getting married. Now that she has left the Chen family and has her own things to do, she gradually understands that the reason why the girl did not rush to arrange her marriage was because she was afraid that she would be trapped in the Chen Mansion and unable to get out. The girl wanted to take her with her from the beginning to the end.
But now she is getting married. Although the Qiao family lives just across the street, life will never be the same as before after she gets married.
Given the girl's personality, she would definitely not want to bother me with anything after she gets married. Then who would be able to take care of her daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation?
Once people start to think about things, they can't stop. They keep thinking about how it would be great if the girl could find someone else to marry.
If the girl doesn't want to get married, then it would be a good idea to find a son-in-law like Miss Qin.
But no one in Dongping County knew about the girl's past affairs, so she naturally didn't think it was shameful for her to be married. It was only with Qiao Yishi that she realized that Chen Linan was only good-looking on the outside, but was not actually a good match.
But it was this embroidered pillow that tarnished the reputation of her daughter. If there were a family in Dongping County who wanted to marry the girl, would they back off because of what happened before?
Konjac looked at the guests coming and going in the yard and sighed unconsciously.
Cui Qingyi reached out and nodded at her. "It's someone else's wedding day, why are you sighing? If you're anxious to get married, I'll go to the Qiao family to discuss it when I get back today."
Konjac...you have to criticize her for no reason, right?
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers were blasted outside the Qin family's gate, indicating that the wedding procession had returned.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Zhao Yanyan, who had been hiding in the corner and cursing secretly, suddenly became energetic and ran out ahead of everyone else.
The real protagonist of the day, the bride Qin Qiaocai, walked out of the inner courtyard surrounded by the crowd. She was dressed in red and had delicate makeup. Because she was getting married, she did not wear a veil on her face.
Konjac also looked at the bride and shared with Cui Qingyi, "Miss, Miss Qin's makeup today is really beautiful."
Cui Qingyi nodded and said deliberately: "When you get married, I will design you a better-looking one."
Konjac blushed again unexpectedly.
Outside the door, the groom was helped off the horse by the matchmaker hired by the Qin family. Although he had a veil on his head, his movements when getting off the horse were agile. He looked different from the man Cui Qingyi had imagined would be willing to marry into the family.
Under the guidance of the matchmaker, Qin Qiao handed one end of the red silk to the man. From Cui Qingyi's perspective, the man seemed to hesitate for a moment before taking the red silk, but because of the angle, Cui Qingyi did not see the flash in Qin Qiao's eyes when she saw the hand.
Qin Qiao sighed in her heart, "Forget it, it's fate, why should she force it if the other person is unwilling?"
Zhao Yanyan, who was always paying attention to the newlyweds, naturally noticed the groom's actions. A flash of pride flashed across her eyes. Today, she was going to humiliate Qin Qiao and the Qin family in front of the whole city.
Seeing the newlyweds holding the two ends of the red silk and preparing to enter the house, Zhao Yanyan finally couldn't help but speak out: "Qin Qiao, I heard that Mr. Qian didn't want to be your son-in-law, but you and your mother came to your house again and again, and promised a large sum of money to let Qian's stepmother force Mr. Qian to marry you.
I think what you're doing is unkind. It's already hard for Mr. Qian to make a living under his stepmother's care, and now he's finally making progress in his studies. Aren't you ruining his future?"
As soon as Zhao Yanyan finished speaking, a burst of discussion arose among the crowd watching the excitement.
It's not that everyone is willing to cooperate with Zhao Yanyan, it's just that watching the fun is human nature. As long as the fun is not in their own home, who can avoid watching it? What's more, this is the fun of a rich family. People say that rich people's homes are very messy. If they are lucky enough to come across it, they have to take a good look.
Among the people present, apart from Qin's relatives and friends, Cui Qingyi and Kong Ru were probably the only ones who sincerely hoped that nothing unexpected would happen at this wedding banquet. Besides not wanting anyone to deliberately create obstacles for the orphans and widows of the Qin family, Cui's pastries hadn't even had a chance to be served before the banquet even started.
Seeing that she had successfully stirred the emotions of the onlookers, Zhao Yanyan raised a sly smile, as if she was afraid that no one could hear her clearly. She raised her voice again and said to the man in bright red:
"Mr. Qian, we know you were forced by your stepmother and biological father. Since you don't want to marry into the Qin family, with so many people here today testifying for you, even if the Qin family is rich, they can't embarrass you. Why don't you take this opportunity to make things clear to Miss Qin?"
Qin Qiao's face was calm, and she didn't pull the red silk with her hands at all. She was so calm that she didn't seem to be attending her own wedding, and Zhao Yanyan didn't seem to be urging her groom to run away.
The bridesmaid was hired by the Qin family. She was afraid that the groom would really listen to this crazy woman's instigation and do something irrational. She held the groom's hand tightly and said, "The auspicious time is almost here. The newlyweds should quickly step over the fire basin and enter the house."
Hearing this, the groom took a step forward, and Qin Qiao raised her eyebrows and followed suit.
Zhao Yanyan became anxious and walked up to and pulled off the red veil on the groom's head.
A tough and resolute face appeared in front of everyone, and Zhao Yanyan's eyes widened immediately. Who is this person?
Gao Liang was a little annoyed. He was still waiting for his wife to lift up the veil he had snatched. How could such a shameless wild girl come here? He pulled the veil back, but hesitated and looked at Qin Qiao.
Qin Qiao raised her lips, not surprised by Gao Liang's appearance. Her lips, painted with bright red lipstick, opened slightly, "You have nothing to be ashamed of, so if you don't want to cover it up, then don't cover it up."
Then she turned to Zhao Yanyan, who was standing there in a daze, and said, "Since Miss Zhao is so eager to get married, I will definitely tell Mr. Zhao someday to not delay Miss Zhao's marriage because of my heartache."
After saying this, without caring about Zhao Yanyan's reaction, she took the groom over the fire basin and went into the house.
Although Cui Qingyi didn't know the reason behind the change of groom, but when she saw the tall, strong and dark-skinned man following behind Qin Qiao and trying hard to act like a little bird, she felt that it seemed that the Qian family was unwilling, but there were many people who were willing, and willingly so.
Without the troublemakers, the young couple of the Qin family successfully completed the wedding ceremony and entered the bridal chamber, and the wedding banquet officially began.
Cui Qingyi was observing the reactions of everyone present without leaving any trace throughout the whole process. The cakes, melon seeds and candies had been laid out long ago.
Cui Qingyi was not disappointed. As soon as everyone sat down, someone pointed at the cakes in the middle and said, "Which cake shop did the Qin family invite this time? These cakes are really exquisite."
Someone came closer to take a look, pointed at the tray under the cakes and asked, "Cui's Cakes, is it new? I haven't heard much about it."
