Chapter 224 Wedding
Chen Tang helped Jiang Ning avoid being plotted against. The Jiang family had two successful candidates in the imperial examinations, all thanks to Chen Tang. Mrs. Jiang treated Chen Tang as her own daughter in her heart.
It was precisely because he felt the love and care from Mrs. Jiang that Shen Tang thought that if Mrs. Jiang were still alive, she would probably be dressed like this.
Mrs. Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes, then used an embroidered handkerchief to wipe away Shen Tang's tears, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't cry on such a happy day."
Jiang Li stood aside, tilting her head and said, "Aren't you going to cry and get married later?"
And the harder you cry, the better.
Mrs. Jiang: "..."
Madam Jiang gave Jiang Li a glare, helped Chen Tang put on her wedding dress, and then said, "The bridal sedan will be here in a while, so it won't be too late to wear the phoenix crown when you go out."
In her previous life, after Chen Tang finished dressing up, she put on the heavy phoenix crown and sat on the bed waiting for the sedan chair to pick her up.
Before she even got into the bridal sedan, her neck was already so sore that it didn't feel like her own. Madam Jiang was an experienced person and knew how hard it was to get married, but she loved Chen Tang from the bottom of her heart, so she naturally tried to make things as difficult as possible.
Mrs. Jiang went to help Mrs. Four entertain the guests. There were far fewer guests today than yesterday, but there were still people coming to watch the ceremony. Jiang Ning and Jiang Li accompanied Chen Tang.
Jiang Li asked in a low voice, "Is cousin nervous?"
Chen Tang shook his head slightly.
She was not marrying anyone else but Xie Guimo, someone she had been married to in her previous life, so why would she be nervous? The Prince of Jingyang's Mansion was not a strange place for her. After experiencing so much, she was more expectant in her heart, hoping that she could spend the rest of her life with Xie Guimo in this life.
As for the Marquis' Mansion, her eldest brother was found, and the second wife with ulterior motives was expelled from the Mansion. As long as the King of Qi could not ascend to that position, the second master would never be able to achieve anything, and she would no longer have to worry about her father being harmed by others.
The only regret is that my second brother was not found.
But in this life, she was already satisfied that her elder brother sent her to a bridal sedan.
Jiang Ning and Jiang Li thought Shen Tang would be nervous, and wanted to comfort her, but they didn’t see any nervousness on Shen Tang’s face, so Jiang Li asked directly, and they were right, their cousin was not nervous.
Jiang Li admired Chen Tang from the bottom of her heart. How could she not be nervous about leaving the place where she grew up and going to live in a strange place? She got nervous just thinking about it.
However, thinking about how Prince Jingyang had saved Chen Tang several times, sent people to secretly protect Chen Tang, and helped Chen Tang do a lot of things, it was normal not to be nervous to have such a husband who cared about her and protected her. I hope they can be as blessed as my cousin.
Chen Tang sat on the bed for a long time, his butt almost stiff, before a maid came to report, "The bridal sedan has arrived at the front street. It will arrive in a quarter of an hour, no, half a quarter of an hour!"
Finally it’s here.
Chen Tang was not in a hurry to get married, but this kind of waiting was too tiring.
She is thirsty.
In this hot weather, is it human nature to not allow people to drink water?
Barely half a quarter of an hour later, the sound of firecrackers and suonas could be heard faintly from the front yard. Ginkgo said happily, "The bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's Palace has arrived!"
However, it was still too early for the bridal sedan to arrive and take Chen Tang away, so the groom would inevitably be embarrassed.
Although Xiao Huan and Xie Guimo had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship, it was impossible for him to marry his sister cheaply, as he had to get approval from his eldest uncle.
In addition to Xiao Huan, there were Jiang Mingxiu, Jiang Mingyuan, and his future uncle, Prince Duan, who was brought here by Xiao Huan.
A group of young men from aristocratic families blocked the gate of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion tightly.
The scene was quite scary.
Xie Guimo rode on his horse and looked at Xiao Xun, Lu Li and the others, "Which side are you on?"
Xiao Xun shrugged, "I can't help it. This is my future brother-in-law."
When Xiao Xun thought that Xie Guimo was his future brother-in-law's future brother-in-law, he wanted to laugh.
Lu Li said, "Do I even need to ask? I'm definitely on the side of my sister-in-law."
Xie Guimo looked around his side and found that except Chen Qi, he had no other helpers.
He had never thought that there would be such a thing as a road-blocking official. After all, last time he didn't come, the bridal sedan almost took Chen Tang back.
But no matter how many people tried to stop him, he wasn't afraid. "Then ask the question."
Although Xiao Huan was standing in the front, the first person to ask the question was Jiang Mingxiu, who asked Xie Guimo to write a poem on the spot to praise Chen Tang.
Is this also called making things difficult?
This is clearly a release.
Xie Guimo composed a poem on the spot, praising Chen Tang to the point that he was the best in the world. Jiang Mingxiu had to give him a thumbs up, "Cousin-in-law, you have good taste!"
Jiang Mingxiu stepped down and Jiang Mingyuan stepped up.
He also asked Xie Guimo to write a poem, but this time he was not praising Chen Tang, but Chen Sui.
Xie Guimo, "..."
The smell of difficulty hits me in the face.
Xie Guimo gritted his teeth and flattered his father-in-law. When the verses of the poem reached Shen Sui's ears, black lines fell down on Shen Sui's forehead. He had seen people flattering, but he had never seen anyone flatter like this. It almost made the person fall down.
The other people in the room were laughing so hard that their shoulders were shaking. Based on these two poems, it can be seen that Prince Jingyang definitely has the potential to be henpecked.
Each person has a topic. After writing a poem, they will compete in couplets and then in archery. The topics vary greatly.
But the most difficult thing, apart from writing poems to flatter his father-in-law, was to ask Xie Guimo to identify the vegetables.
A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, let alone the prince of Jingyang Palace, who doesn’t even know which way his own kitchen door faces. How can he know the names of these dishes that look similar?
Xie Guimo was really stumped, but this didn't bother him.
He doesn't know how to do it, but there are a lot of people watching who know how to do it.
Chen Qi held out a ten-liang silver ingot from his bosom and said, "Whoever helps our young master pass this test will be rewarded with this ingot of silver."
"I!"
"I!"
Shouts rang out one after another.
Lu Li was feeling proud of himself for having given Xie Guimo a difficult question, but he was dumbfounded the moment he was there.
The roadblocker can have a bunch of people, and the groom can also find someone to help.
Just a few dishes. Chen Qi pointed at someone and listed them all in one breath.
At this point, all the officials who were blocking the road were defeated and had to give way to let Xie Guimo enter the mansion.
When Xie Guimo entered the mansion, the maid ran to report to the bridesmaid. The bridesmaid came in and said, "The groom has entered the mansion. It's time for the bride to say goodbye to her parents for raising her."
Mrs. Jiang came in, helped Chen Tang put on the phoenix crown, and then covered her head with a veil.
Xiao Huan comes in and carries Chen Tang on his back.
Chen Tang had never been carried on someone's back before, even though this was her own elder brother. Chen Tang lay on her elder brother's back. Xiao Huan carried Chen Tang on his back and said, "My sister is too light."
She's already very heavy, okay?
Xiao Huan carried Chen Tang to Songhe Hall.
Chen Sui and the old lady were all there. The old lady lifted Chen Tang's veil, and Chen Tang saw that the old lady's eyes were red and full of reluctance to leave her.
This is even more true for Chen Sui, the one who loves her the most in this mansion is Chen Sui.
Chen Tang thought she couldn't cry anymore, but when she got married, she couldn't stop crying.
Chen Tang knelt down to bid farewell, and after forcing herself to wait for Chen Tang to kowtow, Chen Sui helped her up.
Xie Guimo walked in and said, "I will often accompany my wife to visit you in the future."
Xie Guimo is not a man who talks sweetly. If he can say this, he must be able to do it.
The old lady looked relieved.
The bridesmaid said, "It's time to get married."
Chen Sui's eyes also turned red. He reluctantly put the veil on Chen Tang and said slowly, "Take it away."
Xiao Huan came over to carry Chen Tang out, but Xie Guimo said, "I can do it myself."
But he didn't carry Chen Tang on his back, he just picked him up sideways.
Caught off guard, Chen Tang was startled. Fortunately, she was covered with a veil, so no one saw how frightened she was.
This bastard!
Chen Tang was embarrassed and angry, "Before you hug me, at least say hello first."
"squeak."
Chen Tang, "..."
A room full of people, "..."
Shen Sui was just feeling reluctant about marrying off his daughter, and the sudden sound of "squeak" caught him off guard, leaving him at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Xie Guimo carried Chen Tang out, walking at the same speed as usual, but with someone in his arms, it seemed very fast.
Xiao Xun and Lu Li were still at the gate. When they saw Xie Guimo carrying someone out, Lu Li asked, "Brother Guimo, why are you leaving so quickly? Are you afraid that the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion won't let him take the person away?"
Xiao Xun suppressed a laugh and said, "After all, the bridal sedan was carried back empty once before, so it's normal to be worried."
Chen Tang's face was burning with anger, and he was thankful that he had a veil covering it, otherwise he would have been extremely embarrassed.
Xie Guimo carried Chen Tang out and helped her into the bridal sedan. When the curtain was opened, Chen Tang felt a chill in her face.
After entering the bridal sedan, Shen Tang discovered that there was an ice basin inside.
The cool air made her heart feel as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
The bridal sedan was lifted up, followed by the dowry.
The dowry was carried out of the marquis's mansion in loads, one after another.
The steward's gift list included not only the dowry prepared by the Marquis's Mansion, but also -
"Ning Wangfu sent thirty-six loads of additional dowry."
"Princess Jinde's residence sent twenty-four loads of additional dowry."
"The Prince Duan's Mansion sent eighteen loads of additional dowry."
"The Jiang family sent eighteen loads of dowry."
"The Queen sent eight pallets of make-up..."
The bridal sedan had already gone two blocks away, but half of the dowry had still not left the Marquis's mansion.
It was truly a grand wedding with a ten-mile long red wedding dress.
Not to mention that Chen Xian is incomparable, even the princesses and county lords are not as good as her, and no one dares to say that the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion is overstepping its bounds.
