"Let's get married! Let's get married!"
The two newlyweds stood in the center of the room. Xu Yi turned his head to look at Fu Man'er. For some reason, he, who was usually so composed, felt a little nervous.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!" The chanting rang out, and the newlyweds turned to bow outside.
"Bowing to our parents for the second time!" When he got up, Xu Yi was worried that Fu Man'er wouldn't be able to see and wouldn't be able to get up properly, so he hurriedly reached out to help her.
The Xu family members, sitting in their chairs, looked on with great satisfaction. Old Xu even joked with his wife, "Once they get married, we can look forward to our great-grandchildren."
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is complete; escort them to the bridal chamber!"
As the final shout rang out, the people inside the room suddenly surrounded the newlyweds.
Fu Man'er suddenly heard the noise of a crowd and the sound of people moving around. Just as she didn't know what to do, a pair of warm hands took hers.
"Don't be afraid, I'm holding your hand," Xu Yi's voice rang in my ears.
Surrounded by everyone, the two were led to the bridal chamber. A group of ignorant young men were still clamoring to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, but Xu Yi glared at them one by one and drove them away.
There were a few bold individuals who wanted to cause trouble, but Xu Yi didn't hesitate to grab them and throw them outside.
"This groom is really good; he's afraid these people will disturb the bride," the matchmaker joked beside Fu Man'er.
A short while later, Xu Yi turned around and went back into the house. The newlyweds were about to have their veils lifted and drink the nuptial wine.
Fu Man'er could feel the bed next to her sink slightly as Xu Yi sat down.
Xi Cheng slowly reached out and gently lifted the veil, revealing Fu Man'er's delicate face little by little.
The two had only been apart for five days, but it felt like they hadn't seen each other for five years.
In addition, Fu Man'er's makeup today was different from usual, making her look more alluring, which stunned Xu Yi.
The matchmaker standing nearby couldn't help but smile happily as she looked at the loving expressions in the eyes of the newlyweds.
"Groom and bride, drink this nuptial wine. From now on, may you two be together forever, happy and fulfilled, and live a long and harmonious life together."
He knew that preventing them from making a ruckus in the bridal chamber was already the limit; if he didn't go out and deal with it, they might actually be waiting at the door.
"You rest well first, and wait for me to come back." Xu Yi lowered his head and kissed Fu Man'er's cheek. It was as light and ticklish as a feather brushing against her cheek, but it was gone in an instant.
The noise at the door gradually faded away, and Fu Man'er sat blankly on the bed, not knowing what to do.
She scratched her head in confusion. What had Madam Ru told her last night about what she was supposed to do on her wedding night?
After thinking for a while without any clue, Fu Man'er simply gave up.
The door was pushed open again, and Shuangxi came in.
"Miss, the young master was worried you might be hungry, so he specially instructed the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes." She was holding a tray in her hands.
Fu Man'er quickly lifted her skirt and stood up from the bed, asking, "What delicious food is this?"
Xu Yi also put some food in the sedan chair, but it was just some simple snacks. Fu Man'er was afraid of ruining her makeup, so she was very careful when eating and didn't eat much.
Right now, the room is full of guests, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, and her little craving has long been whetted.

"Shuangxi, take this phoenix crown off for me, it's so heavy." Fu Man'er held her head with both hands. What was on her head was not a phoenix crown at all, but clearly money.
If it gets bumped or scratched, who knows how much the loss will be.
"Miss, please eat first. I will take off your hair ornaments right away."
Besides the phoenix crown, Fu Man'er's head was adorned with many hairpins and kingfisher feather ornaments. Once these items were removed, Fu Man'er felt much more relaxed in her neck.
"Finally, I can have a comfortable meal." Strictly speaking, this was Fu Man'er's first meal of the day, and she said to Shuangxi as she ate.
"Getting married is such a torment. You have to get up early and you're not allowed to eat. It's so uncomfortable."
As Shuangxi served her food, she replied, "My dear lady, getting married is such a big deal. Please bear with it for today. If you see anything you're missing, just tell me and I'll go find it for you."
Fu Man'er chuckled, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, "That's all, as long as I'm full."
"Oh, right." Fu Man'er's eyes swept around the room, finally landing on the low table in front of the bed.
"Shuangxi, could you bring me that wine so I can have a drink?"

Shuangxi followed her gaze and saw a red wine pot on the low table, filled with nuptial wine.
"Go quickly." Fu Man'er urged again, and Shuangxi went over and brought over the wine pot, pouring it for her in a small wine cup.
"Miss, can you drink alcohol?" Shuangxi had been by Fuman'er's side for quite a long time, and he could count the number of times he had seen Fuman'er drink alcohol on one hand.
Firstly, Fu Man'er rarely had the opportunity to drink, and secondly, whenever there was a need to drink, Xu Yi would do it for her, as he wouldn't allow Fu Man'er to touch alcohol at all.
Fu Man'er even joked about it, saying, "Hmph, what kind of wine is it that I, this young lady, have to drink it myself?"
"This wine is delicious." Fu Man'er picked up the small wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.
She thought the nuptial wine was delicious when she first drank it; it wasn't spicy at all, but rather sweet. After finishing it, she even smacked her lips twice.
"Miss, please eat and drink first. I will help you make the bed. You can go to bed when the young master returns."
To bring good luck, the bed was covered with longans, peanuts, and other things. As it was getting dark, and the young master might return at any time, she had to hurry.
Right now, Xu Yi is being pulled into drinking in the front yard. He has a good alcohol tolerance, but he can't keep up with these people's relentless drinking sessions, one after another.
Normally he wouldn't agree, but today was a joyous occasion, and Xu Yi was happy, so he indulged them a bit. But this indulgence emboldened these kids to take advantage of him.
Knowing that Fu Man'er was still waiting for him inside, Xu Yi had no choice but to finish quickly, drinking one cup of wine after another until he finally got the group of boys drunk.
He himself was quite drunk, and when he reached the backyard, Shuangxi happened to be carrying a tray out.
"Young Master?" Even though Shuangxi was still two or three steps away from Xu Yi, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Xu Yi.
"Okay," Xu Yi responded. "Have someone carry the water for washing up to the study."
He knew he smelled strongly of alcohol and was afraid of bothering Fu Man'er, so he decided to wash up before going inside.
"Yes." Shuangxi was about to leave when Xu Yi called her back, "Has your young lady finished washing up?"
He originally wanted to quickly deal with those guys outside and come back as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to take so long.
"Replying to Young Master, Miss has finished washing up." After Shuangxi finished speaking, Xu Yi left. In the darkness, he did not see Shuangxi's hesitant expression.
Fu Man'er was more than just finished washing up; she was practically asleep.

As evening fell, the noisy Xu family gradually quieted down, and Madam Ru and Qi Jun were sent back to town by the Xu family's arrangements.
Lady Ru lay on the chair, with the nanny behind her massaging her shoulders. She reached out and opened the drawer next to her, wanting to continue reading the book she hadn't finished yesterday.
When she took the book out, she noticed something underneath it. When she took it out and looked at it, her expression suddenly changed.
"Oh no, I forgot to tell Man'er about this last night."
The old woman leaned closer to take a look, and there were three words written on it: Fire Avoidance Diagram.
This is something every woman should see before her wedding night, but Madam was too busy yesterday and forgot to give this fire-avoidance chart to Fuman'er.
"I wonder how the two children are doing now." Madam Ru looked at the fire avoidance diagram in her hand, a faint sense of sorrow welling up in her heart.
Xu Yi was in a real bind. Who would have thought that the groom, who had been forced to drink on his wedding night, wasn't drunk, but the bride waiting in the room was?
She wasn't completely drunk; Fu Man'er was just a bit tipsy and her head was spinning.
Her whole face was flushed and warm, while Xu Yi's hands were a little cool. She simply took Xu Yi's hands and cupped them over her face.

"So comfortable." The coolness of her hands lowered the temperature on her face. Xu Yi carefully cupped her face, watching with complicated emotions as Fu Man'er rubbed against his hands like a kitten.
After rubbing against him for a while, Fu Man'er became dissatisfied. She pulled Xu Yi's hand away with disgust, saying, "Your hand is too hot. I don't like it."
As she spoke, she began to struggle with her hands and feet, trying to escape from Xu Yi's embrace.
After being tossed around by Fu Man'er, Xu Yi's body was both stiff and hot.
He dared not use force, afraid of hurting Fu Man'er, but Fu Man'er disliked Xu Yi's body being too hot, so she rolled around on the bed and rolled all the way to the inside.
He was muttering something under his breath.
Despite being rejected, Xu Yi followed them, trying to tell Fu Man'er that this was their wedding night and shouldn't be spent like any other day.
However, Fu Man'er looked at him innocently and said, "Huh? We're already married, can't we sleep yet?"
By this time, Xu Yi already knew. He didn't mean anything by it, but he still had to show her through his actions.
What does it mean to get married? What does it mean to have a wedding night?
