Chapter 210 Wedding
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and inside and outside the Anyang Marquis's mansion was already bustling with people coming and going, and the lights were brightly lit.
In Jingming Courtyard, the soft candlelight shone through the carved window lattices and did not go out all night.
Inside the main house, Jiang Xun was fixing his clothes in front of the mirror.
His inky black hair was tied up with a scarlet ribbon, the end of which fell behind his shoulders, swaying with his movements.
The wedding dress was already on. Although it was the same crimson as the official dress, it was made of the finest red brocade.
Nanfeng stood by, holding a tray with a black gauze hat and folded scarf on it.
Jiang Xun took it with a smile and put it on his head.
The black gauze hat is light yet dignified, with a slightly upturned brim, exuding a sense of agility.
Jiang Xun was born with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but he usually had a stern face. Today, he was very happy, just like a beautiful jade in the autumn moon.
He looked up at the floor-length bronze mirror in front of him, tried to open his arms, and paced back and forth a few times.
Perhaps because I was too nervous, my fingers kept rubbing my cuffs unconsciously, and even my fingertips turned a little white.
Nan Feng had never seen his young master so nervous before, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Young master, why are you so nervous? You are the most handsome man in the world."
Jiang Xun paused when he heard this, raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed lightly, then pretended to be calm and said:
"You must not lose your manners no matter what. You must be careful and cautious."
south wind:"......."
Yes, yes, yes, he just didn't want to expose it.
No matter how capable and calm a person is, when it comes to getting married, he will be so nervous that he can't sleep all night!
In the past, he always felt that the young master was so calm and self-possessed that he was not like an ordinary person. Now the immortal has finally fallen into the mortal world.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng smiled and narrowed his eyes.
How wonderful! The young master is as happy as a silly young boy.
After getting dressed, Jiang Xun quickly went to the main hall.
Along the way, the servants in the mansion were busy shuttling back and forth, each with a happy smile on their face, and when they saw Jiang Xun, they all bowed and congratulated him.
Anyang Bo had been waiting in the main hall early, pacing back and forth. When he saw Jiang Xun arriving, he looked him up and down and immediately smiled.
"Look, he is just as handsome as Dad when he was young."
"Let's go and pay respect to our ancestors. We must not miss the auspicious time."
Jiang Xun agreed with a smile, and the father and son came to the solemn and dignified ancestral hall one after another.
There were flickering candlelight and curling smoke inside.
The ancestral tablet is placed in front, and all kinds of offerings have already been prepared on the high altar.
Anyang Bo immediately stopped smiling, washed his hands carefully, picked up the burning incense beside him, lit it, and bowed deeply three times towards the ancestral tablet.
"Ancestors, I, your unworthy descendant Jiang Ren, will lead my son Jiang Xun to respectfully prepare some wine and delicious food to offer in front of your ancestors' spirits."
Anyang Bo recited the sacrificial words in a low voice, and his voice echoed in the quiet ancestral hall.
"Today is a good time for my son to marry a virtuous wife. It is truly a match made in heaven and a blessing for our family."
"I hope that the spirits of our ancestors in heaven will ensure that my son's journey to marry is smooth and worry-free. From now on, the couple will live in harmony and have children. May our Anyang Earl's Mansion prosper for generations and the incense will be passed down forever."
Jiang Xun stepped forward at this time, and the father and son together inserted the burning incense into the incense burner, and then knelt down and bowed in front of the tablet.
The smoke rose up and then spread out.
This was Jiang Xun's first ancestor worship.
He was full of piety, touched the ground with his forehead, and made a beautiful wish to the ancestors of the Jiang family.
At this moment, he, a wandering alien, seemed to have truly taken root in this world.
When they stood up again, both father and son had tears in their eyes.
After coming out of the ancestral hall, there were suddenly many more people in the main hall. Dongfeng was used to welcoming and seeing off guests, and was entertaining them.
At this moment Jiang Xun arrived, Dong Feng hurried forward to greet him, smiling and saying:
"Sir, several tribute students from the Imperial College have arrived!"
Jiang Xun did not have many friends in the capital, and the best man he invited was his colleague in the Dali Temple.
Firstly, there were few people he interacted with, and secondly, he had a tough battle to fight after marriage, and he had no intention of involving more people.
But I didn't expect...
"Master Jiang, I heard that... you don't have many relatives and friends here, so we dared to send you a visiting card in advance to help you warm up the atmosphere."
"But after I came here, I found out that the post was a reply from my uncle."
"Look at this..."
At this time, a man walked up quickly, and while speaking, he pinched the corner of his clothes a little awkwardly.
They were not well off, so today they had already put on their best clothes.
Anyang Bo immediately came out and said with a smile: "Everyone who comes is a guest, they are all young men, what a lively place!"
Jiang Xun's eyes swept over the seven people in the hall one by one, and then saw Lu Yunsheng standing in the corner.
Lu Yunsheng did not come forward, but looked apologetic and shook his head helplessly at Jiang Xun.
The funding has been consistent over the years. Even if Lord Jiang has not shown up, there are actually many traces to follow.
Especially since those present are all extremely smart people.
Yesterday, he quietly came out from the back door of the Aid School and was immediately surrounded by these people...
It turned out that several of their close friends had long known that all this was done by Lord Jiang, but they had been carefully covering up for Lord Jiang.
Jiang Xun understood what was happening, and looked at the student in front of him and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you are Yan Sijing from Ruxing Hall, right?"
Yan Sijing looked up flattered, "Your Excellency remembers me, your student?"
Jiang Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Not just you, I recognize the others behind you."
At this point, Jiang Xun bowed to them and said gently, "In this case, I'll trouble you all. When I get to the Chen Mansion later, if I encounter anyone blocking the door, I will still rely on you to help me."
As soon as these words came out, several tribute students in the hall felt relieved and responded with greetings:
"In that case, we will ask the adults for a drink."
"Sir, you look so handsome today!"
"Haha, this is the first time I help someone pick up their bride. How strange!"
As everyone was chatting and laughing, the auspicious bell suddenly rang.
Boom——
Bei Feng, the loud voice, came quickly from outside the door, shouting: "Sir, the auspicious time has arrived!"
"Let's go pick up the bride!"
Everyone immediately surrounded Jiang Xun and walked out.
The gate of the Bo's Mansion had already been opened, and the two rows of big red lanterns at the door were extremely eye-catching.
Outside the door, the wedding procession had already lined up in an orderly manner. As soon as the gong and drum players saw the groom step out of the door, they immediately raised the drumsticks in their hands high.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
The sounds of gongs and drums, accompanied by the cheers of people around, interweave to create a noisy and joyful scene.
Jiang Xun tied a big red silk ribbon on his chest and walked towards the tall horse.
A few chubby kids were holding small baskets filled with red dates and longans, running around Jiang Xun and scattering them, cheering:
"Master is so happy! I hope you will have a baby soon!"
Jiang Xun could no longer hide the smile on his face.
He bowed and saluted to everyone along the way, thanking them for their urging and blessings, and then jumped onto the horse nimbly.
At this moment, his hands holding the reins were shaking.
There were crowds of people all around, and the atmosphere of life and human touch were hidden in the music and cheers.
Jiang Xun's heart was filled with the greatest happiness and joy in the world.
Every year, here I come.
