Chapter 995 A Marriage Mishaps
Speaking of this matter, Lin Yuesha has to explain that Madam Xu's persecution of Xu Da had nothing to do with the face mask.
Xu Da developed a rash on his face, but it was just an isolated incident; he was unfortunately allergic to seaweed.
"Xu Da is already in such a state, and they still want to punish him. It's truly tragic."
Qi Heng offered a fair assessment, noting that this was the first time he had shown such kindness.
After all, the wedding night is one of the four great joys in life. Although it should be unforgettable, it shouldn't be sad.
After washing up, Lin Yuesha went to draw Wuya's eyebrows. It was clear that Wuya's face was slightly flushed, revealing her anxiety and joy at becoming a bride.
"Your makeup is too heavy. Let me apply some pearl powder to it."
Lin Yuesha brought over a small packet of the pearl powder that Xu Da hadn't used. She applied it to Wu Ya's face, leaving a thin layer that shimmered with pearly light, making it look very delicate and glossy.
A teenage girl is at the peak of her beauty, and Uya is so beautiful that she doesn't need heavy makeup to enhance her looks.
Lin Yuesha gave Wuya a natural makeup look, clear and radiant, with subtle details that revealed her cleverness.
"Sister Yue Sha, I don't know how to express my admiration for you."
After praising Lin Yuesha, Wuya added, "I think I heard Xu Da's voice this morning, but I couldn't hear it clearly."
Wuya's courtyard was some distance from Xu Da's, while Lin Yuesha and Qi Heng's residences were not far from Xu Da's.
Uya was a little uneasy. In fact, she hadn't slept well last night, constantly worried that Xu Da would escape. The shouts this morning actually reassured her a bit.
"My cousin is getting married, he's so excited."
Xu Da was concerned about his image, so Lin Yuesha quickly covered for him.
"He didn't refuse, did he?"
Uya lowered her head. Once the two were married, Xu Da would never be able to get rid of her.
"Of course not, he wouldn't dare to disagree, he wouldn't have the nerve!"
Lin Yuesha put her hands on her hips, completely siding with Wuya, and said quickly, "Sister-in-law, you should listen to what Aunt Xu said, and stop being so humble."
An equal relationship between husband and wife is a prerequisite. Uya is such a straightforward woman; if she always puts herself at Xu Da's disadvantage, she'll be bullied to death by him in the future. That won't do!
Speaking of which, Wuya is very lucky to have met a mother-in-law like Madam Xu, and of course, a cousin like Lin Yuesha who can distinguish right from wrong.
"I think General Qi spoils you rotten, and you're just bragging about it."
Uya was amused by Lin Yuesha, which eased her tension considerably.
Madam Xu, the mother-in-law, said that after she married into the Xu family, she was in charge of the household. Whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter, Madam Xu would not force it. As long as there was a child of the Xu family, Madam Xu would be satisfied.
Childbirth is a life-threatening ordeal for women, and Madam Xu did not want Wuya to have more children; taking good care of her own health was the priority.
Lin Yuesha lowered her eyes, thinking of what Qi Heng had said. If only her mother-in-law were here, there would be one more person in the world who would love her!
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Lin Yuesha is content with the status quo.
The auspicious time has arrived. Xu Da goes to fetch the bride. Wu Ya is helped out of the house by Lin Yuesha. She is being careful of the high threshold.
Outside the gate, shipyard craftsmen and workshop workers all came, forming three concentric circles, with hundreds of people gathered to watch the ceremony.
The crowd banged drums and gongs, creating a deafening cacophony, and firecrackers crackled and popped, making it a truly festive occasion.
On the way to the wedding ceremony, the main event began.
Madam Xu stood on the road waiting, carrying a large rooster.
"Come on, kill the chicken."
Madam Xu held the knife in her other hand and glanced at Xu Da.
"Mother, isn't it wrong to kill on such a joyous occasion?"
Whether in the north, the capital, or the northwest, Xu Da had never heard of a bride being forced to kill a chicken on her wedding journey; it was far too bloody.
"Which of the chicken, duck, fish, and meat dishes on the table weren't obtained through the killing of animals?"
Uya killed the rooster to make it feel more ceremonial.
Madam Xu then specifically emphasized that a rooster should be killed.
The rooster trembled with fear upon learning of its impending slaughter. If it hadn't been for the wretched Xu Da, it might have lived a few more days.
"Rooster, blame Xu Da if you must."
Madam Xu handed the knife to Wuya, gently stroked the chicken's head, and whispered.
Xu Da couldn't help but shudder; it seemed as if his mother was giving him a message.
On such a joyous occasion, killing a chicken, especially a rooster, must have something to do with him.
"Come on, Uya, let's make an example of them."
Madam Xu sent someone to put a blouse on Wuya. Wuya swiftly swung her knife, and the chicken's head fell to the ground in an instant.
Look closely, the chicken's eyes are wide open, it died with its eyes wide open.
Xu Da almost burst into tears. Sure enough, his mother had pulled this stunt against him. He was the monkey!
If Xu Da does anything wrong after marriage, he will suffer a miserable fate, just like a rooster being slaughtered.
To put it bluntly, Xu Da is burdened with the fate of another rooster; the rooster died for him.
"A prosperous and thriving business, a good omen!"
Lin Yuesha smiled at Qi Heng; this was the part that Madam Xu had prepared for the wedding.
The chicken slaughtering took a little while; just moments ago, the sky was blue with white clouds overhead, but suddenly it turned gloomy.
It often rains at the beach, but it's just a shower brought by the clouds. You might take a step and the sky will clear up.
Without warning, huge raindrops began to pour down, growing heavier and heavier. The group had no time to dodge and could only hurry forward.
Qi Heng pulled Lin Yuesha into his arms and used his body to shield her from the rain.
Fortunately, although the rain was heavy, it stopped quickly.
As soon as you emerge from a dark cloud, the sky ahead immediately brightens.
However, the previously lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuesha caught up with the crowd and noticed that everyone's eyes were on Xu Da, who was standing there dumbfounded with a red flower dripping from his chest.
The worst thing ever happened: the ashes on Xu Da's face were washed off, revealing a face covered in tiny red spots!
Everyone seemed to be deep in thought, realizing that Xu Da himself was actually quite ugly.
"Hahaha!"
The Prince of Luo covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Who on earth is so treacherous? How did Xu Da end up like this?!
"Lin girl, what's going on? Xu Da, he... hahaha!"
Luo Wang laughed until his stomach hurt. It wasn't that he wanted to see Xu Da make a fool of himself; as a brother, he hoped the ceremony would proceed smoothly.
However, this was not the most embarrassing situation.
Not far ahead, just as they were about to reach Xiyuan, a seabird suddenly flew by and, by sheer coincidence, left a steaming pile of bird droppings on Xu Da's head.
"This auspicious time cannot be missed, let's get married!"
A series of unexpected events occurred, which Madam Xu had not anticipated. She had no choice but to take charge of the overall situation and first have Xu Da establish his official status.
Let's complete the wedding ceremony first, otherwise, once Wuya lifts the veil, she might very well call off the engagement.
In their predicament, Xu Da and Wu Ya finally got married. After sending Wu Ya to the bridal chamber, Xu Da quickly disappeared without a trace.
"My husband, it's all so interconnected, I even suspect that I deliberately designed it all."
Lin Yuesha was both amused and exasperated. Honestly, she hadn't tricked Xu Da and really didn't know her cousin was allergic to seaweed.
