October 10th was the day Gu Hui and Peng Ze got married.
Before dawn, Zhang arrived with her maids and the matchmaker. Zhang had a loud voice, and when she saw that the four maids were still fast asleep, she grabbed a feather duster and gave each of them a whack.
It was still a bit chilly on the October morning. After being woken up, Zhang sent her three younger sisters back home.
Then she started giving orders to her subordinates.
Gu Hui was like a puppet, letting people put makeup on her face and dress her in a wedding gown.
By the time of Chenshi (7-9 AM), her makeup was finished, but her hair hadn't been styled yet.
Zhang, holding a comb, stood behind Gu Hui.
She looked at her daughter in the mirror and her eyes lit up: "Oh my, my daughter is so beautiful! I didn't realize until today that my daughter is so pretty, like a fairy from heaven."
Looking at Zhang Shi through the mirror, Gu Hui noticed that her eyes were already wet. She pursed her lips and said, "Mother, it's a good thing I look like my father. If I looked like you, I probably wouldn't be considered a fairy."
The touching atmosphere vanished instantly. Zhang poked Gu Hui's head and said, "Yes, yes, you're just like your father in every way, but the most obvious thing about you is your mouth!"
The matchmaker next to her almost burst out laughing.
Gu Hui rubbed her head and said, "Mom, I'm getting married soon. If you want to scold or hit me now, hurry up. After I get married, if you want to deal with me, you'll have to go to my husband's family."
Zhang was furious: "You brat, you think you're all grown up now? No matter where you marry, you're still my daughter, and I can deal with you whenever I want! You...blah blah blah..."
After a long string of scolding, Zhang's bitterness at marrying off her daughter completely disappeared, and Gu Hui was satisfied.
Zhang took a comb and combed her hair from top to bottom.
Comb through to the end.
I combed my daughter's white hair to her eyebrows twice.
I've combed my hair three times, and now my daughters and grandchildren are everywhere.
May my son-in-law have good luck on the fourth comb.
Five combs bring five sons to pass the imperial examinations, and five silver bamboo shoots bring a hundred different kinds of blessings.
Six combs...
seven……
eight……
Nine……
Ten combs and the couple will grow old together.
In the end, Zhang shed tears.
Gu Hui felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
...
According to Kunzhou custom, the bride is picked up in the afternoon and the wedding ceremony is held at dusk. Therefore, Gu Hui was still in her boudoir all morning.
After the guests had lunch, the wedding procession set off from the Peng family home.
Peng Ze rode a tall horse, wearing red armor, and walked at the forefront with great spirit. Behind him were the neatly dressed and spirited soldiers of the naval camp.
The wedding of the son of a military family was quite grand.
Leaving the Peng residence, we traveled along the east-west avenue and arrived at the Gu residence.
Today, almost everyone in Kunzhou has come to Kuncheng to see the excitement.
When the wedding procession arrived at the government office, a group of women's representatives stood in front of the office.
Gu En, Gu Ren, Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, Huo Junhao, Qian Liangduo, Hu Liang, Meng Meng, Xie Nanfeng, and Bai Er, among others, formed a long line blocking the way.
This is only the first hurdle; the second hurdle is Gu Hui's group of sisters.
The people of Kunzhou felt that this was going to be a huge event.
If you guys come on one team, my girls are just as good!
Those represented by Gu En, Gu Ren, Huo Junhao, and Qian Liangduo will test your talent; those represented by Lu Zheng, Huo Junhao, Qian Liangduo, Meng Meng, and Xie Nanfeng will test your martial prowess.
The Peng family has eight brothers in total. Peng Liulang is recuperating in the capital, so there are now seven left. Therefore, the naval soldiers will take their place.
The scene at the entrance of the government office was absolutely spectacular.
For many people in Kunzhou, this was an unforgettable wedding of their lives. It was so wonderful, from the questions asked by the bride to the responses from the groom.
The same applies to the young men from the capital who come to attend the wedding banquet.
