Chapter 501: Wedding (Part 2)



Moon-Lan Pavilion.

Qiao Xi and Wen Shuyan were guarding the door, and Lu Yunting and others were stopped outside again.

"Ayan, Miss Jiang and Ziyue have finally reached the stage of getting married. Can you bear to stop them?" Li Yan took the lead in coaxing.

"Yes, yes, just in case..."

“Bang!”

Before Xu An could finish his words, Gu Lan and Li Yan hit him on the back of his head at the same time.

"It's such a happy day, what nonsense are you trying to talk about!" Gu Lan and Li Yan said in unison.

Xu An immediately pursed his lips and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Yunting beside him. He almost said something unlucky just now.

Lu Yunting slowly loosened his clenched fist and gave Xu An a warning look.

Xu An: “…”

If Brother Gu and the others hadn’t fought so quickly just now, Young Master’s fist would have landed as well, right?

Phew!

Gu Ling'er laughed out loud, and everyone looked over instinctively.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Gu Ling'er tried to hold back her laughter, "You guys continue, just pretend I don't exist."

At this time, Qiao Xi clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention away from Gu Ling'er.

"Do you still want to pick up the bride? If you miss the auspicious time, our Yangyang will not marry."

When everyone heard this, they all became serious. Lu Yunting bowed and said, "Miss, please tell me, how can I take Yangyang away?"

Qiao Xi smiled slightly, "It's simple. As long as you can write a poem that Yangyang is satisfied with, she will come out."

Lu Yunting frowned and thought. Although he was proficient in both literature and martial arts, he had never written a poem to urge a girl to get dressed, so he couldn't think of one for a moment.

Li Yan took a step forward confidently and said, "In the past, I played the beautiful strings with my heart, and today I dress up like a banished fairy. I wish to spend the years with my beloved, and share the beauty of the moon and the stars together."

After saying this, Qiao Xi glanced at the tightly closed door. After waiting for a while, seeing no movement inside, he turned back and said, "Although this poem is beautiful, it doesn't seem to move Yangyang."

"Her cloud-like hair and flowery face are reflected in the brocade window, and her red makeup and faint smile are lingering. The auspicious time has come, urging you to get up, and to travel through the fragrant years hand in hand." Li Yan quickly recited another poem urging you to get dressed.

They stared at the door for a while, and nothing happened.

Qiao Xi shook her head, "It still doesn't work."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Lu Yunting, and they placed their hopes on him.

Gu Lan is a doctor, and all the books he read are medical books, and he is not good at poetry. Not to mention Xu An, who has been a poor student since childhood.

As for those in Shadow Pavilion, they are good at wielding swords and guns, but they know nothing about composing poetry.

Lu Yunting took a deep breath and recited softly: "Ask the depth of the eyebrows to the water lily, the candlelight sways the red through the green gauze. Don't say that spring is late at the dressing table, the east wind has already given the crabapple rosy clouds."

Everyone held their breath and waited. Lu Yunting also stared at the closed door nervously. Time seemed to have stopped.

Just when they thought the door would not open, they heard light footsteps and whimpering sounds from inside the door.

Then, Jiang Yueyang's voice came from inside the door, "A Yue, write another one for me."

Lu Yunting was immediately delighted. After a brief thought, he recited with deep affection: "The beautiful girl's makeup is reflected in the rosy clouds, and her smile is even more charming. Today is a good day to urge the phoenix to come, and I will be with you in a thousand dreams."

After a while, the door slowly opened, and GunGun and Yunyue rushed out and pounced directly towards Lu Yunting.

The two little guys were dressed festively and were very cute.

Jiang Yang, wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe and holding a round fan to cover her face, walked out slowly with the help of her maid.

Lu Yunting couldn't hide his joy as he curled the corners of his mouth, strode forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

He tilted his head and stared at the person next to him without blinking, as if the person would disappear if he glanced away.

Even though he was walking, his eyes never moved away.

Seeing this, Gu Lan joked, "Ziyue, there's no need to watch so closely. There are so many people watching over you. Your bride can't run away."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but blush.

Just like that, surrounded by the crowd, the two came to the front hall where the guests gathered.

Minister Jiang and his wife sat on the high hall with red eyes. Jiang Yueyang knelt down to bid farewell to her parents.

"Dad, Mom, don't be sad. Your daughter will be back in two days." There was a cheerful smile in her voice.

Madam Jiang scolded, "You are a child, you are about to get married but you are still not well behaved. How can you come back just after getting married?"

Minister Jiang also said: "My daughter, you will be an adult after you get married. You can no longer let your temper run wild like you do at home. You must think twice before doing anything."

"I know." Jiang Yueyang didn't feel reluctant to get married. "Dad and Mom, don't worry. I will take good care of myself."

Lu Yunting cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will take good care of Yangyang and make her happy as always."

"Her temperament is a bit lawless to begin with, so don't indulge her any more."

"Dad~~" Jiang Yueyang was unhappy, "How can you tell your son-in-law like this? People always ask their son-in-law to pamper their daughter more."

"Isn't he pampering you enough?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang was speechless for a moment, and the guests present all laughed softly.

"Okay, let's go out and don't miss the auspicious time."

"My daughter bids farewell to her parents."

Jiang Yueyang stood up with the help of Lu Yunting and walked out amid the blessings of everyone.

Soon, they reached the gate.

After Jiang Yueyang stepped over the fire basin, Lu Yunting carried her into the bridal sedan in full view of everyone, making others envious.

Lu Yunting bowed to Minister Jiang and mounted his horse.

As the word "departure" was uttered, the wedding procession set off in a grand manner.

The procession was filled with music and joy as they returned to the general's residence.

Lu Yunting carried Jiang Yueyang down from the sedan chair, and the official from the Ministry of Rites handed over a red silk ribbon, with each of them holding one end.

They stepped over the fire basin, over the saddle, and walked all the way to the main hall of the worship hall.

The tablets of the Lu couple were placed on the high hall, with General Zhenguo, Duke Yingguo and others standing on both sides.

The official from the Ministry of Rites said in a loud voice: "Perform the worship ceremony."

"Bow to heaven and earth."

Lu Yunting and Jiang Yueyang turned around and bowed together, their movements neatly and solemnly.

"Bow to your parents."

The two of them turned around and bowed deeply to the tablets of the Lu couple.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

The two men stood facing each other, looked at each other affectionately for a moment through the round fan, and then slowly bowed.

"Perform the wedding ceremony."

As soon as the official from the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, a maidservant immediately served the wedding wine.

After they took a sip of the wedding wine, they exchanged drinks.

"Perform the same prison ceremony."

After the two of them had eaten from the same prison, the official from the Ministry of Rites sang loudly, "Perform the tying of hair ceremony."

They each cut off a lock of hair, tied them with colorful ropes, and put them into a brocade bag.

"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!"

As the Ministry of Rites official's voice fell, everyone cheered.
