Chapter 63 I'll Leave with My Bag
Four days passed quickly, and finally it was Bu Ruo's wedding day.
"Ruo'er, Ruo'er, do you think what I'm wearing today looks good? Is it too fancy? But I'm thinking about carrying you out, so it can't be too plain."
"Ruo'er Ruo'er, please open your eyes and look at me. If you feel something is wrong, I will go back and change it while there is still time. But I definitely can't comb my hair again, otherwise it will be too late."
Bu Ruo sat in front of the dressing table, trying hard to open her eyes a little: "Not bad, not bad, this one is fine, the green color is very festive."
"Green?" Jin Congcong leaned over. "Ruo'er, are you sure the poison has been removed? Mine is clearly blue. I spent a lot of money to have it custom-made at Yanzhilou, and Mo Bao even gave me a discount."
"I didn't have much money to begin with. If I hadn't cheated that old man out of some of it, I wouldn't even have new clothes right now."
Bi'er looked at Bu Ruo who was nodding sleepily and said with a smile: "Miss, please wake up quickly. It's time for us to clean our faces and put on makeup."
"And Mr. Jin, our young ladies had their new clothes made and sent to their respective courtyards long before the spring search. Didn't you see it?"
"All of them were specially selected for us by the young lady. They are all made of the best fabrics and the latest designs. Look at what I am wearing today. Isn't it beautiful?"
Jin Congcong looked at Bi'er for a long time, then turned and ran out: "I was busy making medicinal food those days and didn't notice that new clothes were delivered. They might have put them directly in the closet. I'll go back and see which one is better."
"Wake Ruo'er up first. I'll be back soon and I promise I won't be late."
Bi'er looked at Bu Ruo who was sighing and smiled, "Master Jin and Doctor Du are truly a master and apprentice. I heard from the servants that the two of them barely slept all night, checking on this and preparing that. The courtyard was brightly lit and bustling with activity."
"They even had people fetch water for her bath before the young lady even woke up. They washed her several times, even putting flowers in the water. Her body...was even more fragrant than that of a girl in the boudoir."
Bu Ruo looked at the darkness outside and sighed again as he listened to the busy sounds of the servants moving around.
"Why do we have to get up so early for the wedding? Can't we pick up the bride later? How have we calculated the auspicious time since ancient times? So early... isn't this pure torture?"
Bi'er poured cold water on the handkerchief and handed it to Bu Ruo, saying, "My dear lady, this is the only wedding you will have in your life. You will have to work hard for just one day. Please wake up."
Bu Ruo forced herself to stand up and jump around twice before finally feeling more sober. "Who says there can only be one big wedding? If Xiao Yulan treats me badly, I don't care if he's a prince or not. I'll just pack my bags and leave. I'll marry whoever treats me well."
"Well, you don't really have to get married. It's good to live on your own. At least you don't have so many troubles. Look at the little woman in the kitchen. She's been tortured for only two years. It really makes me sad."
Bi'er quickly covered Buruo's mouth: "My ancestor, you dare not say those unlucky words on your wedding day."
"Ancestors?" Bu Ruo came back to his senses. "Oh, right, do I still need to go to the ancestral hall and tell the ancestors?"
Bi'er nodded helplessly: "Yes, Miss, a girl must bid farewell to her parents before getting married. If... she must go to the ancestral hall to ask for the blessing of the ancestors. This is the custom of the Great Zhou."
Bu Ruo curled her lips: "Ask for the ancestors' blessing? Haha, I'll go right away."
In the ancestral hall, Butler Zhang's eyes turned red as he looked at Bu Ruo kneeling solemnly on the mat.
The little girl who was born that year and was as big as a kitten is getting married today. It's a pity that the general and his wife can't see it...
Butler Zhang was feeling sad when Bu Ruo's voice rang out...
"My dear ancestors of the Bu family, Ruo'er is getting married today. I don't ask for your protection, but I only ask that you take care of yourselves and bless my parents and two brothers."
"Ruo'er, I'm not kidding. After I get married, I may not be able to come back often to chat with you ancestors. But if I calculate that my parents and two brothers have less blessings, don't blame me for turning against you then."
"Okay, that's all for now. When Ruo'er has time, she will definitely come back to see you all. Don't miss me too much."
Zhang Tianben was originally so sad that he almost cried, but now he was in a state of being neither amused nor helpless.
Especially when I heard my young lady come out of the ancestral hall and say she was reluctant to leave, and that she would move all the tablets away when she had the chance, and the incense of the ancestors flickered...
Although he didn't understand, he always felt that the ancestors of the Bu family didn't say anything good.
…
Soon, Bu Ruo finished washing and dressing up, but just as she was about to put on her wedding dress, the sky, which had already turned white, suddenly became covered with dark clouds and there seemed to be thunder.
"Is it... going to rain?"
Bi'er held the wedding dress with a worried look on her face. "Didn't the Imperial Observatory say today couldn't be a better day? What if it rains?"
Bu Ruo's outstretched hand stopped the moment he heard the thunder, and he turned to look out the window.
Is this... retribution? No, this isn't retribution, this is divine punishment!
Just when Bu Ruo was confused, a purple lightning broke through the air and exploded above the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, even shaking the roof a few times.
At the same time, Bu Ruo's soul seemed to have left his body and arrived in another void.
A woman in a wedding dress, barefoot, stood in mid-air with a lotus under her feet, looking at the so-called righteous people in the sky with a frosty face.
"Beauty is fleeting, and kings are ruthless. You are the Holy Spirit of my heaven, and your fate is tied to the lives of all mankind. We must never marry."
"Yes, listen to our advice and come back with us. You are the Holy Spirit, and we will not harm you."
The woman looked at the indignant group of people in mid-air and sneered, "Back then, when cracks appeared in heaven and earth and chaotic energy filled the world, you all ignored the lives of the people and rushed to hide in your own voids."
"If I hadn't awakened and transformed myself, using ten thousand years of cultivation to repair the cracks, this world and all living things would have long since become a purgatory."
"And after seeing that time and space were stable, you all crawled out of your rat holes one by one, talking about morality and justice, trying to completely integrate the weak me into the cracks to maintain peace forever. Now you still keep saying that you won't harm me. Do you have any shame?"
"Do you know why no god has appeared in heaven in these billions of years? Do you know why no matter how hard you try, you can't get the heavens to send down the colorful rays of light for you? Because you are selfish, because you don't deserve it at all."
The faces of the fairies in the air turned red after being scolded by the woman, but they could not refute.
