Chapter 271: Pretend to be big!
The young girls all knew that Ma Lian'er was very picky and was very fussy about her marriage. How could she possibly sit comfortably in a bridal sedan and become the second wife of Qian San, whose wife had died?
While everyone was discussing this, the He family's bridal sedan had already been carried to the couple's new home at the west end of the village.
Lu Adong went to see Old Master He off last night and had no idea what had happened at home. He only heard about it from his mother after he came back, but nothing could affect him.
Lu Adong, wearing a bright red wedding gown, was riding on a donkey that was also decorated with red silk flowers, with a simple and honest smile on his face.
Sitting in the wedding sedan behind him was the girl he dreamed of marrying. He felt that he was the happiest man in the world at that moment.
Inside the bridal sedan, the bright red veil reflected on He Qingqing's face, making her look even more charming and beautiful.
The Lu family's wedding procession never stopped banging and banging along the way, and a group of young girls who were seeing off the bride scattered copper coins wrapped in red paper along the way.
The children in the village were laughing and playing around the bridal sedan. The villagers who were watching the fun were not affected by what happened yesterday at all. While saying this, they followed the bridal sedan towards the bridal chamber where the banquet was being held.
The parents of both families sat together and talked about the future of the young couple. Old Master He, who was sitting at the top, was wearing a dark red robe and had a kind smile on his face.
"Nobita, when will Qingqing and the others arrive?"
When He Fanxiong heard his nickname, he turned his head away, took a deep breath, and answered in a relaxed manner.
"Dad, it's almost time. I can hear the sound of gongs and drums."
Old Master He raised his head slightly and said something incomprehensible.
"How can I be worthy of being called a father by you..."
He Fanxiong, who was standing next to him, was shocked and his eyes turned red.
The elderly relatives and friends of the Zhang and Lu families were all sitting below, and they couldn't help but shook their heads when they heard this.
"Ah, what nonsense is this old man talking about..."
"It's good to be awake. I must be having some trouble remembering things right now."
No one took this remark seriously, because the sounds of knocking were getting closer, and the villagers who were drinking tea and chatting in the new house also got up and walked out.
Ran Qingxuan really wanted to see how people in ancient times married, so he was very excited as he took Gu Yanchen along the way.
Gu Yanchen has always had a thorn in her heart regarding her wedding with Ran Qingxuan. She felt that she was treated unfairly by not even being allowed to get married in the hall alone.
However, there were people around him and Gu Yanchen didn't want to mention this matter at this moment. He just looked at Ran Qingxuan's curious expression and couldn't help but swear secretly in his heart.
The sedan chair followed the groom and stopped at the door of the bridal chamber. A large circle of villagers gathered around to watch the fun.
In order to create an atmosphere, the little girl who had been scattering red paper coins along the way threw the remaining dozens of coins in her hand into the crowd, which immediately caused the children to scramble for them.
"The groom can come down and kick the door of the sedan chair now. Why are you still sitting on the donkey and laughing like an idiot?"
The matchmaker who followed the bridal sedan was from the same village. She smiled and shouted to Lu Adong who was reluctant to get off, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding villagers.
When Lu Adong reacted, he was so anxious that he almost stumbled when he got off the donkey.
Now the people around laughed even louder, but all of them meant well, and some even made jokes.
"It seems that the groom is anxious to see the bride!"
“Hahahahaha…”
"Don't be in such a hurry to enter the bridal chamber that you can't even walk."
The crowd burst into laughter. Lu Adong stood firm with a red face, then scratched his head with a silly grin.
Lu Tao was both angry and amused when looking at his silly son. How could their Lu family be so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like Qingqing who was sensible and well-behaved?
The matchmaker smiled to ease the atmosphere and gestured to Lu Adong.
"Don't just stand there, groom. Kick the door of the sedan chair and bring the bride out."
Ran Qingxuan stood with the little girl from the village and watched all this with a smile.
Kicking the sedan door is something every married person will experience. Its purpose is to set rules for the new bride and let her know who is the head of the family.
The little boy He Qingtuo stood beside his parents, frowning, and seemed to dislike such a custom.
Lu Adong walked forward excitedly amid the jeers of his good brothers, but he did not kick the door of the sedan open as expected.
When everyone was surprised, they saw Lu Adong stretched out his hand and opened the door of the sedan directly...
This scene made Ran Qingxuan a little confused. Didn’t he kick away all the TV dramas he watched in his previous life?
Unexpectedly, when I turned around to look around, I saw Dao Aduo and Fangcao looking at He Qingqing who was being helped out with envy.
The He family and He Zishi and his wife couldn't help but shed tears when they saw that Lu Adong cared so much about his daughter Qingqing.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan's curious face, Aduo explained: "Adong doesn't want to set rules for Qingqing and let her be wronged before she even enters the door. Now we sisters must be envious of her."
Love is mutual, but some people in ancient times viewed love as a woman's dependence on a man, and believed that any married woman had to depend on a man to live.
There are many people who regard women as accessories, but men like Lu Adong were indeed rare in ancient times.
On the wedding day, in front of so many people, Lu Adong did not consider the issue of a man's face, but was only thinking about not letting He Qingqing suffer any grievances.
While giving the woman face, anyone who sees it will have to praise her!
The young couple held each other's red silk flowers, and under the veil, He Qingqing's eyes were already red.
The matchmaker helped lift up the hem of He Qingqing's skirt and helped her step over the fire basin. Then the people waiting outside immediately lit firecrackers. After a burst of crackling sounds, the yard was immediately surrounded by villagers.
Ran Qingxuan was pulling Gu Yanchen to watch the fun, and Lu Tao and He Zishi came forward together and invited the two to the first seat.
Ran Qingxuan almost forgot that he and his wife were witnesses for a newlywed couple. Facing the gazes of the villagers and two relatives, he spoke with a smile.
"I am not much different from the young people in age, so I am not qualified to be a witness."
"But fate is so wonderful that my husband and I met each other from two families, and I am fortunate to witness a couple getting married together."
"I am glad that today's auspicious ceremony has been completed and a good marriage has been established.
The poems sing of Guanju, and the elegant songs sing of the unicorn's feet.
The auspicious business will prosper for five generations, and will bring prosperity to the two southern regions.
We are of one mind and one heart, and we are a harmonious family.
Treat each other with respect as guests and enjoy the joy of life together forever.
Help each other sincerely and make a pledge like mandarin ducks. ”
She had pretended to be something big without realizing it. As soon as Ran Qingxuan finished speaking, the courtyard was silent and everyone looked at her in a daze.
Gu Yanchen smiled and looked at Ran Qingxuan with eyes filled with deep affection.
He Fanxiong was the first to react. He stood up and bowed to Ran Qingxuan.
"I originally only knew that Miss Ran was elegant and noble, but I didn't expect that she was both talented and beautiful. It really opened our eyes!"
"Mr. He, you are so kind."
Ran Qingxuan's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was it perfunctory. It could be said that she showed this group of people what the upbringing of a lady from a noble family looks like.
While worshiping heaven and earth, Ran Qingxuan thought to herself that she had married without having a clear mind and had never experienced an ancient wedding, which was a bit regrettable.
