Chapter 269 The wedding--blocking the door to welcome the bride!
The Qin Mansion is also very lively today, and every place is decorated with festive atmosphere.
Qin Qingyuan was wearing a bright red wedding gown, and the jade belt around his waist was crystal clear, which made him look even more upright like a pine tree.
The wedding procession set out from the Qin Mansion in a grand procession, with drums and music playing.
Wherever the wedding procession passed, people had already scattered copper coins and wedding candies, causing the children to cheer.
As the princess got married, red lanterns were hung in front of the shops on both sides of the street, and the whole capital was immersed in this festive atmosphere.
Today, Qin Qingyuan was accompanied to pick up the bride by Qin Qingyun and Ning Xuan.
Both of them were good-looking, and coupled with Qin Qingyuan's good looks, they earned praise from the onlookers along the way.
When the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, they found that the door was closed. It was obvious that they were going to "block the door" according to etiquette.
Qin Qingyuan dismounted, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the gate of the princess's mansion.
Seeing that it was the Duke himself knocking at the door, the butler brought a group of servants forward to pay their respects.
"Master, if you want to marry my princess, you still need to pass these three levels."
Qin Qingyuan bowed and smiled, "It's up to the steward to tell you."
The butler waved his hand, and several servants brought up a desk with the four treasures of the study placed on it.
The onlookers immediately started talking about it, guessing that the exam was indeed going to test the Tanhua Lang's knowledge.
The princess's cousin was the top scholar, and the prince was the third. This was going to be exciting, and all the onlookers were looking forward to it.
"Master, today's first challenge was personally set by the Young Madam. Please accept the challenge, Master."
"The young lady herself set the questions. Doesn't that mean she's the County Master's biological sister? I'm looking forward to it."
Everyone was now even more excited, waiting for the butler to ask questions.
The result was beyond their expectations. The housekeeper unfolded a roll of red paper and read aloud, "'Please, Lord, praise my princess. You must use four-character idioms, and the meaning cannot be repeated.'"
The onlookers became excited when they heard this. This is good. The compliments are different and the meanings are not the same.
Qin Qingyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote on the spread out red paper.
"Beautiful and intelligent; kind-hearted; gentle and charming; both talented and beautiful."
"Good!" There was a burst of applause from the crowd. It seemed that the Duke was extremely satisfied with the monarch.
The steward took a closer look and nodded: "This first level has been passed."
He waved his hand, and the gate of the palace slowly opened.
"Please come into the mansion, my Lord. The princess is waiting in her boudoir."
Qin Qingyuan bowed in thanks, then took Qin Qingyun and Ning Xuan through the courtyard, walked through the nine-curve corridor, and came to the second door.
Those blocking the door here are the prince, Gu Jinghuai, Gu Yunlang, and Gu Jingshu.
"Brother-in-law, you have to pass this test before you can enter the inner courtyard to see my elder sister." Gu Yunlang said with a smile.
"Brother Yunlang, please teach me."
Qin Qingyuan felt that this problem must be related to his sister.
The prince took out a piece of paper and showed it to Qin Qingyuan for a minute. Then he put the paper away and said with a smile, "Please write down what you just wrote on the paper and read it aloud in public."
"Your Highness, this time is too short. How about letting us watch it again?"
Ning Xuan felt that the time was too short and he hadn't finished memorizing the rest.
"That won't do. It doesn't count if you remember it. The county lord needs to remember it himself."
Gu Jinghuai gave a look and the servants immediately brought him pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Qin Qingyuan calmly wrote down what was on the paper and read it in public while writing.
Three obediences:
You must follow your wife when she goes out, obey her orders, and blindly follow her mistakes.
Four benefits:
Be willing to wait for your wife to get dressed, be willing to spend money, be patient when your wife is angry, and remember your wife's birthday.
The onlookers sighed. These three obediences and four virtues were unheard of, yet the Duke actually recited them as if it was a matter of course.
The prince didn't read the contents of the paper at first, but after Qin Qingyuan finished reading, the prince felt that his cousin-in-law was a good man.
He stepped aside and said, "Please, my cousin has been waiting in the boudoir for a long time."
Gu Jinghuai smiled mysteriously. He asked his uncle to write these three obediences and four requirements into the Gu family's family rules today. He felt that no man in the Gu family would object to it.
"Brother, why don't you test your brother-in-law!" Gu Yunlang felt that his elder brother hadn't made any move.
"Your brother-in-law is your eldest sister-in-law's biological brother. If you delay the auspicious time, do you want your eldest brother to be punished by your eldest sister-in-law to kneel on the washboard at night?"
"Okay, then let's go see what the third level is?"
Now several people are also curious about what the third level designed by Qin Zhizhi is today.
Several people followed Qin Qingyuan through the last door and arrived at Gu Yunfei's yard.
At this moment, the gate was closed, and Qin Qingyuan shouted loudly, "Qingyuan is here to marry the princess!"
As soon as Qin Qingyuan finished speaking, the gate of the yard slowly opened, and starting from the gate, there stood a row of women holding peonies.
The first woman said, "Today is the wedding of my princess. Please accept our test, my lord. If you answer correctly, you will receive a peony flower. If you receive ninety-nine flowers, you can marry the princess."
The people around exclaimed when they heard this, saying that ninety-nine flowers were too many.
"Girl, please start!"
Qin Qingyuan felt that this was not a test. He could do anything for the little girl.
"Those who accompany the bridegroom can obtain the peony for the Duke."
"We can do it too. That's great, Brother Qingyun. Now is the time to use us."
Ning Xuan was eager to help his brother Qingyuan successfully marry the princess. Besides, this game was fun, and he wanted to join in when his sister got married.
Next it is time for Qin Qingyuan to break through.
All the problems were related to him and Gu Yunfei.
For example, when I first met the princess, my heart fluttered, I confessed my feelings, and proposed...
After asking these questions, the whole process of Qin Qingyuan and Gu Yunfei's acquaintance, love, getting along and getting married was recorded.
In the yard, Qin Qingyuan answered exactly as he asked. In the boudoir, Gu Yunfei's face was full of happiness, and her sisters were envious.
After the last question was answered and ninety-nine peonies were obtained, Qin Qingyuan greeted his princess with a happy face.
The sound of jingling jewelry was heard, the door opened, the pearl curtain rolled up, and a graceful figure appeared at the entrance.
Gu Yunfei wore a phoenix crown of pearls and jade, and the tassels hanging down from her forehead swayed gently, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
Qin Qingyuan was mesmerized for a moment. He bowed deeply and said, "Your servant, Qin Qingyuan, respectfully welcomes the princess to marry you."
Gu Yunfei moved her fan slightly away and said, "Thank you for your courtesy, Mr. Tanhua."
Qin Qingyuan took out an amethyst bracelet from the brocade box and put it on Gu Yunfei personally.
When their fingertips accidentally touched her delicate skin, both of their hearts beat faster.
"What's this, Tanhualang?" Gu Yunfei asked curiously.
Qin Qingyuan said softly, "This is a gift from my ancestors. I brought it specially for the princess."
This bracelet was exchanged between Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan and given to the eldest brother in the name of great-grandfather.
When she heard that it was a gift from her ancestors, a hint of surprise flashed in the princess' eyes.
"Thank you, I like this bracelet very much."
The nanny stepped forward and said, "Princess, the auspicious time has arrived, and the newlyweds should go and bid farewell to their parents.
