Chapter 194 Jiang Yunyi's Wedding
On the morning of July 28, Shen Yuan and the other two went to Jiang's house. When they arrived, she was combing her hair. Jiang's mother took a comb and combed her daughter's hair herself, each stroke with reluctance.
Seeing the three of them coming, Jiang's mother put down her comb and said to them, "It's just right, you girls can chat with our Yun'er. I have to go outside to take a look."
After saying this, she told the maid to go to the kitchen and get some more snacks for them.
Jiang Yunyi held her mother's hand and advised, "Mom, you should take a break too. You haven't had a break in the past few days."
In recent days, her mother has been very busy. She has to personally check her wedding dress, her dowry box, and even the red flowers hanging at the door before she can feel at ease. Jiang Yunyi is afraid that she will get married and tire her mother out again.
"Don't worry about me. I can't sit still. I won't feel at ease unless I take a look."
After Jiang's mother left, Jiang Yunyi sighed, "My family seems unhappy about my marriage, even though they were very happy when we got engaged."
Last night, Jiang Yunyi saw her father wiping tears at the gate of her yard.
"They just can't bear to part with you."
"I know. I can't bear to leave home either."
Yan Siyu thought for a moment and said, "The He family is not far from the Jiang family. You go home every day to have dinner and then go back. It's not dark yet. I think it's good to get married. My mother is not around, and no one will take care of me."
Lu Shuyan smiled and said, "How can a married woman go home for dinner every day? When you have a mother-in-law, you will know how good your mother is."
"My mother can control me because she gave birth to me. What right does my mother-in-law have? I don't care. My legs are on my own body. I can go back whenever I want."
Shen Yuan nodded, "I think what Siyu said makes sense. Why can't you go back to your own home after you get married? You can't marry far away, but if you live nearby, you can go back every day without causing any trouble."
Shen Yuan felt that after getting married, he would definitely not be able to help but go home every few days, otherwise the marriage would not be successful.
Jiang Yunyi frowned and said, "I heard that some families set rules for their daughter-in-law after marrying her home. When the family eats, others sit down, but the daughter-in-law has to stand."
Seeing Jiang Yunyi's frown, Lu Shuyan hurriedly comforted her, "What you heard about are only a few families. The He family has married several wives, but they have never heard of such a thing. Don't worry."
"That's right, I heard from my father that Master He is a kind person, so I guess there won't be too many rules in his family."
"Yes, and your parents must have found out all these things about the marriage they arranged for you. If there was really something wrong, why would they agree to the engagement?"
The three of them talked at the same time to comfort Jiang Yunyi, and what they said was true. Which prominent family in the capital city would dare to bully their daughter-in-law? If people knew about it, not only would her family not let it go easily, but other younger generations in their family would also have to forget about being left out when they got married. After all, who would dare to marry their daughter into such a family?
"Well, I'm fine. I'm just a little scared of the thought of getting married. Please sit down and have something to eat. All these snacks are prepared for you."
"Let's eat it together."
Yan Siyu was too busy to sit still. While eating, she looked at the hair crown on the dressing table and said, "This hair crown is so beautiful!"
"It looks good, but it's too heavy. My mother asked me to put it on after lunch. My neck is about to bend after wearing it all the time."
The groom came to pick up the bride in the afternoon, and the formal wedding ceremony was in the evening, so she could still have lunch at home.
Yan Siyu originally wanted to pick it up to test how heavy it was, but when she saw its delicate appearance, she didn't dare to reach out casually, so she gave up.
For lunch, the three of them also had lunch at Jiang's house, but not with Jiang Yunyi. At this time, the three of them decided not to disturb Jiang Yunyi from having lunch with their family members.
There are six siblings in the Jiang family, four brothers and two sisters. Jiang Yunyi's father is the second child. After the old man of the Jiang family passed away, the brothers of the Jiang family separated. However, this time when Jiang Yunyi got married, even the third child of the Jiang family who was not in the capital, and the two married daughters all came back to the capital. The whole family had lunch together.
"Second brother and second sister-in-law, today is Yunyi's good day. Why are you still frowning? Yunyi is much better off than me. She married close to me. Can't she come home anytime she wants?"
The person who was speaking was Jiang Yunyi's younger sister-in-law. She was born to the eldest and second sons of the Jiang family from the same mother. The other three were born to Old Master Jiang's concubine.
The eldest brother of the Jiang family snorted at his sister, "How dare you say that? Who was the one who cried and begged to marry so far away? Who in the family agreed?"
"Why are you involving me in Yunyi's marriage?"
"Dad and Mom, what my aunt said is right. Our home is not far from the He family. I miss home so I come back to see you. I can take a carriage home to have dinner, and then go back to the He family. It's still light outside."
Jiang Yunyi didn't want to see her parents looking sad, so she used the words Yan Siyu had given her in the morning to comfort them.
Jiang Yunyi's brother also said to his parents, "That's right. If you miss Ah Yi, I can go pick her up, or Dad can go to He's house to bring Ah Yi back when he's off duty. If you two are like this, people who don't know would think your sister has married in Yunzhou."
Jiang's mother said angrily, "It's not as simple as you say. There are several daughters of married families in Beijing who still go back to their parents' home every day. How can they be seen by others?"
She said this, but she had already made up her mind that even if the girl couldn't go home every day in the future, it would be fine for her to go home once every three to five days. Thinking of this, she felt better.
After lunch, Jiang Yunyi returned to her room to put on makeup again, put on her wedding dress, combed her hair, and put on a hair crown. Many female relatives came to the room to see the bride.
"Firecrackers are set off, the groom is coming!"
He Huaiyi came to pick up the bride, but it was not so easy for him to take the bride back. When he arrived outside Jiang Yunyi's yard, he was stopped by Jiang Yunyi's brothers.
It was not enough to write seven or eight makeup poems in one breath, he was also asked to shoot arrows, climb trees to get red silk, and drink. Jiang Yunyi had already covered his head with the veil and could only hear the sounds outside.
He Huaiyi was annoyed enough, but was finally let go because they were afraid of delaying the auspicious time. Then, the young couple had to go and pay their respects to their parents.
The last time Shen Yuan saw He Huaiyi was during a Cuju match. He was far away at the time and couldn't see clearly. This time when he met him, he thought that this Mr. He was still good-looking and a good match for Jiang Yunyi. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was happy or shy, his face flushed.
When it was time to serve tea, He Huaiyi said earnestly, "Don't worry, father and mother, Huaiyi will definitely treat Ayi well."
Father Jiang wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't hold back his tears as soon as he opened his mouth. It's no exaggeration to say that his tears were flowing freely. This time Jiang Yunyi couldn't hold back his tears either.
There were several children in the hall, Jiang Yunyi's nephews and nieces. When they saw the adults crying, they also started crying. The whole family cried together. He Huaiyi was at a loss, feeling like he was here to steal the bride.
