"That……"
Before he finished speaking, Tu Qingyu spoke again: "Then can you carry me on your back?"
Pei Jian looked at her deeply, but she seemed oblivious. She only frowned and said, "What's wrong? I'm not heavy."
He walked down the stairs and squatted slightly, "Come up."
Tu Qingyu immediately jumped on him and put his arms around his neck, "Uncle Pei, you are so kind."
Pei Jian didn't say anything, but each step he took became more steady.
During the four months of wedding preparation, Pei Jian and Tu Qingyu's relationship developed rapidly.
The two of them always meet by chance, from late spring to late summer.
By early autumn, when the wedding banquet was held, the weather was no longer so hot.
Tu Qingyu's wedding dress was embroidered by the Pei and Tu families using the best materials in the world and the best embroiderers.
On the day of her wedding, all the ladies present were shocked by her wedding dress.
The bright red material is layered yet very thin, and the waving of the large sleeves seems to outline the shape of the sun.
The crown on her head, the necklaces on her body, the bracelets and rings in her hands are all treasures in the world.
When Pei Jian came to pick up the bride, the brothers of the Tu family blocked the door like crazy.
Even though they were afraid of him in the past, they were still unhappy when their sister got married today.
Unfortunately, as Pei Jian was the only person in history to pass the imperial examination and get the top six places, poetry, songs, and the six arts of a gentleman seemed to be no problem for him.
He stood there in red, enduring wave after wave of torture.
From the main gate to the second gate, little by little, it seemed that nothing could stop him.
Until someone asked him, "Master Pei, will you obey your wife after marriage?"
This was a joke, and the crowd burst into laughter.
No one thought he would answer, and no one took it seriously.
But Pei Jian stood there, treating this issue more seriously than any previous one.
He nodded seriously, "Of course I'll listen to her."
The laughter in the crowd stopped abruptly, and Brother Tu asked tentatively, "Will you not marry anyone else after marriage?"
Pei Jian became more serious. He spoke with great force, "She is the only one in my life."
Wow——!
Throughout history, no man would promise his wife "only her" at the wedding.
At this time, having only one or two concubines around him was already considered a very good man.
What's more, the person who made this promise was the Duke of Dingguo, who had great power in the court.
How can this not be shocking?
Since people have asked this many questions, naturally no one would ask anything else.
Pei Jian successfully met Tu Qingyu, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress.
At that time, Tu Qingyu had not yet covered her head with a red veil. She was dressed in red, her skin was whiter than snow, and she looked noble and sacred, stunningly beautiful.
When their eyes met, he was speechless for a moment.
Until Aunt Xi beside him called him, "Sir..."
He then extended his hand, took the person, and went to the front hall together to bid farewell to his parents.
Tu Puhe had a stern face at first, but when Tu Qingyu came out in red, his tears immediately came down.
"The unfilial daughter bids farewell to her father and mother."
"Meet my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."
The couple couldn't utter a single word of the official statement they had prepared.
Mother Tu held Tu Qingyu in her arms, saying over and over, "My son...be good, this will always be your home, your parents will always be waiting for you at home, my son, be good, being happy is the most important thing, you have parents, four brothers, and those nephews, no one can bully you..."
Her former dignity and propriety vanished at this moment, and she could not utter any of the respectable words about bearing children and serving her husband.
At this moment, she just wanted to tell her Jiaojiao that home is always home and her parents hope that she will always be happy.
Tu Qingyu hugged her and said, "Mom, I understand."
Mr. Tu was the same. In front of so many guests, he didn't care about the distinction between men and women.
After Tu's mother finished hugging him, he also held Tu Qingyu's hand.
"Son, my dear... Dad, Dad really can't bear to leave you. Your mother is right. You have parents, four brothers, and so many nephews and grandchildren. Don't let yourself be wronged.
You...if you miss your parents, come back more often, okay?"
The old father looked at him with tears in his eyes, and Tu Qingyu couldn't say no.
What's more, she was moved by the deep love for his daughter.
Nanny Xi and the guests nearby were all stunned, because no one had ever said such words at a wedding.
However, seeing Tu's father and mother crying, they finally realized how much the Tu family doted on this youngest child.
After Aunt Xi's repeated urging, Tu's father and mother finally waved their hands and said, "Go, go, it's fine."
Pei Jian bowed again, "Please rest assured, father and mother, leave Qingyu to my son-in-law. I will definitely ensure that she lives a peaceful and happy life for the rest of her life."
Even after seeing it many times, the people present were still not used to seeing the aloof and untainted Lord Pei bowing so humbly.
Mr. Tu is now only concerned about his precious daughter's marriage, so naturally he doesn't take Pei Jian seriously.
He stretched out his big hand and slapped Pei Jian on the shoulder.
"If you don't treat Qingyu well, I won't let you go even if you are the Prime Minister!"
hiss~
These harsh words made everyone present gasp.
Everyone looked at Pei Jian who was patted on the shoulder by Tu Puhe.
Pei Jian also lowered his eyes and looked at his shoulder. He did not wave away the hand, but just reiterated his previous words.
Aunt Xi urged again, "My lords, an auspicious time..."
Mrs. Tu held Tu Puhe and said, "Okay, okay, it's a happy day."
She waved her hand, "Go, Xingzhi, take Qingyu with you."
Only then were the two able to leave the Tu family.
The dowry following the sedan chair had not yet finished traveling around half of the capital.
The first one has entered the Pei family, and the other half are still in the Tu family.
The Pei family had already sent a lot of betrothal gifts, but the Tu family didn't touch any of them and added them all to Tu Qingyu's dowry.
In addition, Tu Qingyu's dowry had been saved since she was born.
Tu's father and the four brothers of the Tu family, these men, whenever they were working outside, would prepare any good things they saw for Tu Qingyu.
Adding what Tu's mother prepared, even without the ones from the Pei family, her dowry would be the largest in the capital.
Now, adding to the one Pei Jian sent, calling it a ten-mile red dowry is an understatement.
Xu Ying was standing in the teahouse where the wedding procession passed by, looking at the dowry that stretched endlessly with no end in sight, and her teeth were about to break.
"Why? Why?"
Why is God so unfair!
Why does Tu Qingyu get all the good things?
She was so angry that she fainted in the teahouse.
"Miss?! Miss?"
Fortunately, Pei Kangsheng had given her a lot of good things recently, so when she went out, she was willing to book a private room.
Otherwise, if Tu Qingyu got married today, she would be so angry that she would faint, and who knows what would be spread in the capital.
