He San Niang calmed down amidst everyone's praise and began to imagine Meng Meng's expression after he lifted the veil.
Hmph, clothes make the man. She knew she would look absolutely stunning if she dressed up properly. Aunt Gu said the bride would be the most beautiful on her wedding day.
Meng Meng, just wait until I'm so happy I'll make you die!
...
The first day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day for weddings.
Meng Meng rode a tall horse, followed by handsome and mighty generals such as Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and Xie Nanfeng, and behind them were all men from the army. This wedding procession was quite impressive.
There were quite a few people in Yunzhou Prefecture watching the spectacle, even though it was already snowing lightly in Yunzhou Prefecture.
Upon arriving at the temporary residence of Prince Kang, all the necessary wedding procedures were completed. Meng Meng successfully found his bride, and the two bid farewell to Prince Kang and Princess Kang. Then, Prince Kang's heir carried He San Niang out together.
Prince Kang and his wife were very generous people. Since they had already adopted He San Niang as their goddaughter, they prepared 128 loads of dowry for her. This was less than Princess Jinghe's, but much more than most noble ladies from prominent families.
Looking at the piles of dowry, Meng Meng thought to himself that he was still lacking in money. Did he have to dig up the wealth of an enemy country to match his wife's dowry?
Among these dowries were additions from the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress, which was considered an honor.
A lively wedding procession brought the bride back to the Meng family mansion.
At the Meng residence, Second Aunt and Third Aunt had already made all the necessary preparations.
Gu Xin and Gu Si went to talk to Meng Yan as soon as they arrived at the Meng family.
Meng Meng's younger sister is about the same age as Gu Xin and Gu Si. Back in the village, they were quite familiar with each other. However, they did different things later, and Gu Xin got into trouble, so they didn't have much contact anymore.
But Meng Yan is just like her brother; even if you don't see her for a long time, she won't make you feel like a stranger, and you'll quickly become familiar with her again.
As the bridesmaids had predicted, when the veil was lifted after they were led into the bridal chamber, Meng Meng was terrified.
Meng Meng looked at He San Niang sitting upright and thought, "Goodness, whose silly wife is this? Did she run to the wrong place?"
He San Niang looked up at Meng Meng and chuckled. Sure enough, her girlfriends were all clever; they had even guessed Meng Meng's expression.
Hearing the noise, Meng Meng took a step back in fright: "You, you are Third Sister?"
"Hahahaha..." He Sanniang laughed so hard she bent over. She stood up, walked closer to Meng Meng, and then shoved him. "What? Don't you recognize your own wife? You idiot!"
Meng Meng blinked his big eyes: "You, when did you become so beautiful? My goodness, I, Old Meng, can actually marry a fairy maiden!"
He San Niang was so amused by his expression that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Finally, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Meng Meng, what do you mean? Do you mean I used to be ugly?"
Meng Meng quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, honey, that's not what I meant! I just think you weren't that obviously beautiful before! Now you're too beautiful! I don't even dare let you go out in public, what if someone kidnaps you!"
He San Niang reached out to grab Meng Meng's ear, but he grabbed her, picked her up, and spun her around: "Oh my, my old Meng's wife is so beautiful! Our Meng family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke! Ancestors, look at our old Meng family's wife, how beautiful you are! Thank you for your blessings..."
