Chapter 867 Farewell (2)
Shen Miao lay on Shen Qiu's back. Shen Qiu walked very slowly, whispering as he walked, "Sister, you are too thin. If you marry to Daliang and I see you again, if you are even a little thinner than today, I will go to King Rui to settle the score."
Shen Miao: “….”
"Give me a niece soon, or a nephew." Shen Qiu's voice was innocent, not as brave and valiant as he was on the battlefield. He said, "I'll come to see you."
Shen Miao buried her head in Shen Qiu's neck and said to him like she did when she was a child, "You must."
Prince Rui, who was on horseback, watched this scene and his brows twitched violently.
After Shen Qiu carried Shen Miao onto the bridal sedan chair and the curtains were lowered, Madam Mei began to sing.
“There is no greater event in the world than the joy of marriage.
Have you not heard that a sage, with only a bowl of rice and a gourd of water, lives in a humble alley, and even though people cannot bear his worries, he does not change his joy and does not violate benevolence for three months?
Oh! How beautiful! The Fifth Lady of the Shen Family. In the early days of Nuwa, she refined countless stones to mend the sky, cultivating a radiant exterior and transforming a lush interior. Truly a graceful and elegant lady.
Heaven created the common people, and everything has its own rules. Your Excellency is a man of dignified appearance, his manners like a wild goose pagoda, yet even amidst the crowds of people, he remains true to himself. Shen Jia Wu Niang, a native of Dingjing, Ming Qi, was known for her nostalgic tenderness, gentleness, virtuousness, and detachment from the world, a charming and graceful figure. Her appearance was dignified, her manners reserved and measured; even Xi Shi's beauty could not match hers.
Today we are married, and we will become husband and wife, and we will love each other forever.
When the first yang moves, the two surnames are in harmony, three are celebrated, and four are beautiful. The fifth generation will prosper as predicted by the divination of the phoenix.
After the six rituals are completed, the seven sages are gathered, and the eight are gathered. They sing the nine harmonies, and the ten are perfect and without any flaws, which is enviable.
A perfect couple leaves a small shadow, a matchless marriage is forged! "
"Get ready for the wedding!"
Mei's voice was naturally cheerful and clear, and her lyrics were beautiful. When she finished, everyone applauded. The servants outside suddenly threw out handfuls of copper coins covered with gold foil, creating a beautiful sight. The crowd rushed forward, chanting auspicious words and scrambling to grab the money and candy.
It was really lively.
Shen Miao sat in the bridal sedan. Although she could not see what was happening outside, she could hear everything around her clearly. It was so lively and bustling that it made her feel uneasy.
She consoled herself, thinking it wasn't her first time in a bridal sedan, so why should she be nervous? Yet, her hands still trembled uncontrollably. She lowered her head and saw the white jade ring on her finger, gleaming with a lustrous, smooth color. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
The bearers outside began to carry the bridal sedan. The bearers Xie Jingxing had hired were naturally good, and the sedan was carried very steadily, without any shaking.
Prince Rui was riding a tall horse, walking in front. A large flower made of red silk was hung on the horse's body, making him look very majestic. His posture was lazy but elegant. Wherever he went, the people cheered and laughed.
This is actually very valuable, because King Rui is not from Mingqi, and the relationship between Daliang and Mingqi is also very delicate. But even so, the people seem to still respect King Rui. Maybe it is because he is generous, or maybe some people feel comfortable just by looking at him. After all, King Rui's marriage can be regarded as a joy for all the people.
Behind Prince Rui was the bridal sedan carried by the bearers, and on both sides the carriages and horses of Prince Rui's palace kept throwing out wedding money. It was heard that Prince Rui's wedding envoys would travel around the entire Dingjing City today, so throwing out money along the way was really too generous.
Next up was the Shen family's dowry contingent. The Shen family wasn't as extravagant as Prince Rui, so they handled the boxes well. Everyone counted them, and they found a total of fifty boxes, exactly half of the betrothal gift Prince Rui had sent. While this dowry wasn't as large as Prince Rui's, it was definitely not small. Consider that the Crown Prince and Princess's dowry was only forty-two boxes, and the Shen family had eight more. Most importantly, the Shen family wasn't a wealthy merchant family. While they were well-off, they were definitely not lavishly wealthy.
