Chapter 148: Rejection
The back street was narrow and the wedding procession was stuck in place.
Mo Qianyu ordered his men to give out wedding cakes and distributed wedding money to the people who blocked the road, and then sent them away.
The servant of the Mo Mansion wiped his sweat and said, "Sir, there are many bad habits in the capital, but in the north, there are not so many rules."
The Mo family has been guarding the border for generations. Even after returning to the capital for some time, the servant still couldn't adapt.
The wedding procession blocked the road and openly demanded money and things. On such a happy day, Mo Qianyu not only could not get angry, but also had to greet them with a smile and serve them.
"These people are sure we can't bear to see bloodshed, but we don't want to miss the auspicious time!"
The servant couldn't help but speak out, so Mo Qianyu calculated the time and said solemnly, "Let's go!"
Last night, when he went to visit Xie's house, he was thrown out by Xie Zhao's men. Mo Qianyu kept making pancakes and doing a lot of boxing all night, but in the end he still couldn't calm down.
When we went to pick up the bride this morning, complications arose.
No one knew his inner anxiety. Mo Qianyu was always in a wandering state, worried about his wedding night.
If Mo Qianyu hadn't eavesdropped on Jiang Yuzhu's lecture last night, he would have known nothing about it, and his parents wouldn't have sent anyone here. They thought too highly of him!
Mo Qianyu was a little conflicted. He was thinking about how to act experienced and didn't want Shen Zhilan to realize that he was a novice.
If I show any shyness in the bridal chamber, I will be laughed at by Shen Zhilan for the rest of my life and I will lose all my dignity.
By the time the sedan chair reached the main street, the funeral procession had disappeared without a trace.
The team playing music was beating and banging, and the bridesmaid was following the sedan chair with a smile on her face, saying auspicious words all the time.
Xie Mansion Guest House.
When the maid was tidying up, she found a dressing box on the dressing table and hurriedly reported to Shen: "Madam, Miss cousin forgot something important in her boudoir!"
The dressing box carved with mandarin ducks was Shen Zhilan's dowry. There was a white handkerchief inside, which represented the woman's virtue and was an indispensable item on the wedding night.
Today, Xie's Mansion and the General Protector's Mansion both had banquets, and Shen was busy welcoming and seeing off guests. When she found out, she complained, "Zhilan is so confused. How could she forget such an important thing?"
Before the wedding ceremony, the dowry must be delivered to the Mo Mansion.
Time was running out, and Shen had to stay at the mansion to take charge. She could only quietly instruct Nanny Shen: "Give the things to Yuzhu secretly, and find a chance to put them into the bridal sedan."
The Shen family doesn't trust outsiders.
Nanny Shen immediately set out to find Jiang Yuzhu and whispered in a low voice, "We need to be secretive. I can only trouble you."
The dowry must be brought into the house together with the bride. Although the Mo family is not a quarrelsome family, they still have to follow the rules.
After Jiang Yuzhu learned about it, she smiled and said, "Madam Shen, thanks to your quick action. When the bridal sedan stops to deliver wedding cakes, I will act accordingly."
"You stay and watch the ceremony. When the things are delivered, you can go back and report to your mother."
At this moment, the sedan chair just came out of the alley, and Jiang Yuzhu and her maid hurriedly followed.
Nanny Shen stayed where she was, feeling warm in her heart.
It was clearly Shen Zhilan's fault, and even Shen couldn't help but complain a few words. After Jiang Yuzhu learned about it, she calmed down the emotions of Shen Ma, a servant.
It is a blessing for the servants in the Xie Mansion to have a mistress like Jiang Yuzhu.
The morning light is dim and the sun is rising.
On the main street in front of the General Protector's Mansion, horse-drawn carriages were lined up from the beginning to the end of the street in an orderly manner.
The bright red carpet had already been laid out, scattered with countless petals.
"Congratulations!"
"General Mo is so proud of himself!"
The Mo family kept a low profile and only sent wedding invitations to people they were familiar with. Guests without wedding invitations could not enter the Mo Mansion, so they gathered in front of the gate to watch the ceremony.
Mo Qianyu dismounted from his horse and clasped his fists to everyone, saying, "Everyone, I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality of the Mo Mansion."
While distributing wedding cakes, Jiang Yuzhu lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan and said, "Cousin, keep the things safe."
Jiang Yuzhu gave a few instructions and handed the dowry box to the new bride.
At the moment of handover, Wei Jing trembled a little, but quickly calmed herself down and nodded with her veil covering her head.
Wei Jing and Shen Zhilan had similar figures, and she hid herself so well that even Shen Zhilan's personal maid Xia'er didn't notice.
As long as he gets married to Mo Qianyu, the Mo family will recognize him whether they like it or not!
In order to replace Shen Zhilan this time, Wei Jing put a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to ensure that no news leaked out beforehand. If the Queen Mother blames her, the Mo family will resist.
Wei Jing behaved in a relaxed manner, which aroused Jiang Yuzhu's suspicion.
Jiang Yuzhu did not leave, but sneered and said: "Chen Zhilan, you never thought that you would compete with me for Yuanhe, but you still lost in the end."
Wei Jing said nothing, and snorted in her heart: What's there to be proud of Jiang Yuzhu's victory over Shen Zhilan? The days of crying are still to come.
After a brief pause, Jiang Yuzhu lowered the curtain of the sedan chair. Thinking of the conflict between red and white, a look of understanding flashed across her eyes.
The bride in the sedan chair is not Shen Zhilan!
Inadvertently discovering the truth, Jiang Yuzhu suppressed her fear and asked, "Hongjin, who else is getting married in the inner city today?"
"I just found out that Wei Jing married Feng Qing."
The Wei family was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's arranged marriage but did not have the courage to disobey the order, so they hastily arranged the marriage with the Feng family and have already held the wedding ceremony.
Hong Jin has a sharp intuition and senses that something bad has happened.
Jiang Yuzhu did not hide it: "I suspect the person sitting in the sedan chair is Wei Jing."
Wei Jing doesn't want to marry the scumbag Feng Qing, so she impersonates him.
If Shen Zhilan had not been careless and forgotten the important dowry, Wei Jing's plan would have come true.
It’s too late now, how can we stop the wedding?
Jiang Yuzhu looked at the silly and happy Mo Qianyu, and finally set her sights on Mo Yan: "Yan'er, come here!"
In order to prevent Wei Jing from having any more tricks up her sleeve, they had to replace the person without anyone noticing.
At this moment, I will just make it short.
"Go and inform your uncle and aunt to get a rooster to marry the bride, and say that you received guidance from the high monk of Huguo Temple..."
Mo Yan squinted her eyes and said in understanding: "Sister Yuzhu, are we going to give Chen Zhilan a warning?"
Mo Yan was very tempted, but the Mo family has always acted in an upright manner, so his parents might not agree.
Jiang Yuzhu raised the corners of her lips lightly and said, "Silly girl, I can't explain it clearly for the time being, but what is certain is that the bride was replaced, not Shen Zhilan."
Because of learning skills from Liu Jinshou, Shen Zhilan had a thin layer of calluses on her hands. The person in the bridal sedan was obviously a lady from a wealthy family who had never been involved in sex, with soft and fair hands.
Jiang Yuzhu said those words to test that if the bride was Shen Zhilan, she would definitely respond.
Mo Yan followed Jiang Yuzhu's advice and realized the seriousness of the problem. He ran to the mansion as fast as he could, saying, "Sister Yuzhu, I'll go tell my parents not to count on my eldest brother. He's just a fool!"
There were sounds of firecrackers in front of the mansion.
Wei Jing was helped down from the bridal sedan by the bridesmaid.
At the main entrance of the Mo Mansion, there is not a brazier but a fire jar placed at the door.
"The bride steps over the fire jar, red and prosperous!"
The fire tank was half a person's height and was placed across the middle of the road.
At this point, all the onlookers were dumbfounded.
I heard that the Mo family is not satisfied with this marriage. Look, the bride was beaten in various ways before she even entered the house!
Xia Er's face darkened as she scolded, "General Mo, what do you mean by this?"
If we just obey him submissively, the Mo family will get a taste of the sweetness and who knows how they will bully us in the future.
Xia'er refused to compromise, which made Wei Jing very anxious.
Wei Jing's goal is to get married. No matter what the Mo family plans, as long as she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Mo family and has the support of her natal family behind her, she doesn't have to consider Mo Qianyu's face at all.
Wei Jing only cares about the status and doesn't care about the process.
The bride was about to step over the fire basin, but she insisted on going around it!
Wei Jing made up her mind and took two steps forward, and then a plump old woman ran out of the mansion.
The old woman held up the rooster with its claws tied and rudely stuffed it into the bride's hands: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you. My wife asked a senior monk from the Huguo Temple to tell us your fortune. Your zodiac sign is most compatible with the rooster. The rooster will come to the wedding on behalf of my son."
