Chapter 10 Wedding (Part 1)
The short woman refused the bright yellow cloth.
The tall woman pouted and thought to herself, Jia Jia is obviously very fair, why is she afraid of looking darker?
"Jia Jia, you are right. If this is the case, no one will be able to get those women. This is better. The prince is so lucky!"
The voices of the two people were faintly heard in the back hall. Xie Jingyu's eyelids moved slightly. Yes, that was the second son of the Wei family, who was admired by almost everyone in the capital. How dare Sun Yanhong do that? She got the man of her dreams but did not cherish him, and even colluded with others to kill him.
In this life, in order to marry you with a clear conscience, I pretended to be kind and magnanimous, let them meet as father and son, and let them be entangled in a bad fate again. I thought the grudges from the previous life were over, but I still hate it and can't forget it.
After all, they died too easily in the previous life, and they lived too comfortably in this life.
Qingcheng, I hope you won't be afraid of me. Even if you are afraid of me this time, I won't let you leave. Li Yi is right. I should keep you by my side.
These people with ulterior motives can no longer approach you. My Qingcheng just needs to be kind and beautiful forever. I will do everything else for you.
The overwhelming hatred almost made Xie Jingyu lose his mind. It was not until the shop owner brought the bright red cloth that he came back to his senses.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there…

Early in the morning, the front of the Wei Mansion was very lively. Guests came in one after another. Almost all the businessmen in Bianjing came to the banquet.
"Congratulations, Master Wei, Madam Wei!"
"Come in, and take a seat!"
Before the hour had passed, Wei Minghui felt that her face was about to become stiff from smiling. Then she looked at her father and mother who were still handling the situation with ease. It seemed that she needed more practice in such major matters. |
Mother Wei suddenly remembered that there were very few maids in Wei Qingcheng's yard, most of them were servants: "Hui'er, go and see Qingcheng quickly, there are a bunch of rough men in his house, I don't know how he is doing."
"Mother, I'll go right away."
Wei Minghui nodded and hurried into the courtyard. There were sixty tables in the front yard. The round tables were covered with red cloths and on the tables were placed exquisitely crafted plates.
The various fresh fruits and delicate fried cakes on the fruit plate were pleasing to the eye. The servants who served the dishes and poured the wine were in an orderly manner. The guests were all dressed in brocade and silk. The guests took a few bites of the fruits and vegetables with chopsticks. After the servants observed that most of the guests had tasted them, other servants immediately took away the large and small plates.
A burst of fragrance wafted into my nose. This was the main course. A group of servants dressed in the same clothes brought all kinds of delicious food and placed them on the table in plates, forming a circle. Another servant dressed in the same clothes with a small piece of red silk tied on his hat brought a lifelike golden peacock and placed it in the middle.
Ordinary people are not allowed to use patterns such as dragons and phoenixes. Therefore, most people use peacocks and tigers to bring good luck on important occasions.
The body is made of duck meat, the filling is made of chicken, and the tail and crown feathers are carved from a variety of vegetables and fruits. It is truly magnificent. It is then drizzled with a special sauce and cooked together in a roasting pan. The delicious taste of fresh meat is mixed with the aroma of vegetables and fruits. It is fat but not greasy, and the seated guests are full of praise.
Following the red silk in the air, we walked to the courtyards on both sides, where there were twenty tables each.
There was a Chinese character for "happiness" pasted on the hollow lantern under the beam. Looking from the Chinese character to the courtyard, I saw the golden-stamped pearwood table and chairs, where the accountant was sitting.
This is the Wei Mansion's unique way of entertaining guests. When guests arrive, they are first fed and drunk to their heart's content, and then they go to the courtyard to pay their respects.
Turning right in the courtyard, Wei Minghui pushed the door open and saw his younger brother wearing a groom's suit and a silver and gold-painted lily headband on his head. There were red headbands tied with small holes on both sides of the headband, and a pair of teardrop crystals hung at the bottom of the headband.
Such an outfit could not suppress the younger brother's beauty at all, and his pair of charming peach blossom eyes smiled at him.
"Sister, you're here! Please help me check if Ling'er has combed her hair correctly. This girl said she has never been married and doesn't know how to comb her hair neatly!"
Wei Minghui smiled and touched her younger brother's head: "Come here, let me help you comb your hair!
Comb your hair thoroughly, and you will be free from disease and worry;
Comb the two combs to the end, and you will be together forever;
There is a beginning and an end, and we will share wealth and prosperity in this life! ”
Her eyes turned red as she combed her hair. She smoothed the hairband over her waterfall-like black hair and adjusted the pendant. She had never thought that Qingcheng would leave this home.
Wei Minghui took a makeup pencil and drew a flower of the cassia tree between her younger brother's eyebrows. She then picked up a lipstick and placed it on the center of his lips.
“Take a sip”
She picked up the blush and applied it on her younger brother's fair cheeks, and also touched his small nose, making him look even more charming.
"Qingcheng, don't spoil him in the future. You are weak and your personality is not the one you want. You can't just give him what he wants. You have to see if your body is suitable for it.
Well, he seems to treat you well now, but he may not be that way in the future. Most common men have three wives and four concubines, and maybe he will too if he becomes a prince. If he changes his mind and bullies you, you must remember that everyone in the Wei Mansion is backing you up. The worst that can happen is a divorce.
Look, my sister is talking nonsense again, bah, bah, bah, you can’t say these things on such a happy day. But Qingcheng, you must remember, my sister, elder brother, and parents are all here! ”
Wei Qingcheng saw his elder sister's eyes about to burst into tears, and then he realized that he really had to leave the Wei Mansion. Although the relationship between him and Xie Jingyu was just a transaction, they did have this relationship.
Ah, she actually got married! !
"Don't be afraid, sister. He might not be the one to deal with me. I might be the one to deal with him. Don't worry, sister. I'm looking for someone who is loyal to me. If he is not, I will withdraw."
He talked and laughed, making Wei Minghui burst into laughter, but he felt heavy in his heart. He was really going to leave the Wei Mansion, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to see his family in the future.
Before I had time to feel sad, I was disturbed by the noisy voices outside the door.
Some people said, "The prince is coming!"
Some people said: "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
There were also people in the crowd saying, "Your Majesty is so handsome!!"
Wei Qingcheng was amused. Wei Minghui looked over and the servant in the room blocked the door. Xie Jingyu straightened his clothes and someone beside him brought a bunch of small red cloth bags. He grabbed a handful and threw them to the crowd. People started chasing the red bags. He strode to the door, cleared his throat, and knocked.
"Qingcheng, I'm here to pick you up!"
When Wei Qingcheng heard his voice, he touched his face with his fingers and was glad that his sister's makeup helped cover up the embarrassing feeling of his hot face.
He stood up to open the door, and saw the servant standing by the door. Then he realized that he was trying to block the door, so he sat back on the stool.
Wei Minghui shook her head and smiled knowingly. It seemed that he really liked her, that's why he was so flustered.
She shouted to the outside, "The prince wants to take our Qingcheng away, so we must show some support!"
