Chapter 475: The eldest brother gets married

The day Yu Yonghuai married Cen Yueyi was a lively one.

The brothers Song Yuanzhou and Song Yuanqiao come from a century-old family of scholars and are eloquent.

Song Yuanzhou was the runner-up in the imperial examination in the seventh year of Jiazheng, and Song Yuanqiao was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Jiazheng. Both of them had achieved great achievements.

However, the two brothers had no ambition to enter officialdom. They both wanted to teach and educate people. That was why they did not enter the court as officials. Instead, they took the honorary title of editor and served as the principal of Suyang Academy.

But the brothers' talents were real. When Yu Yonghuai came to pick up the bride, the brothers stood at the door and asked questions. One of them recited a poem and the other made a couplet, and they required the man to answer before they would let him in.

The two originally wanted to embarrass their nephew-in-law so that he would not look down on the Su Yang and Song families. However, Yu Yonghuai, who was riding on a tall horse and wearing a red groom's suit, shouted directly, "Third brother."

Yu Yongliu, dressed in a brocade robe, stood out from the crowd.

Although the Spring Examination is approaching, and it is difficult to ask for leave from the Imperial College, but as my eldest brother is getting married, I have to ask for leave no matter how difficult it is.

Fortunately, Yu Yongliu was the apple of the eye of the teachers in the Imperial College. It was difficult for others to ask for leave, but when Yu Yongliu asked for leave, the teachers would just give him a few words of advice to take care of his health and would definitely not refuse.

Yu Yongliu answered Song Yuanzhou and Song Yuanqiao's poems and couplets easily. While Song Yuanzhou and Song Yuanqiao were stunned, Yu Yonghuai smiled with great enthusiasm.

You didn’t expect that!

Yu Yonghuai bowed to his two uncles and smiled heartily: "Uncle Eldest, Uncle Second, I'm grateful for your kindness!"

The young general, full of vigor and vitality, dressed in red, looks heroic and valiant.

The brothers Song Yuanzhou and Song Yuanqiao looked at each other, laughed, and opened the door.

Yu Yonghuai dismounted from his horse and walked very fast with big strides like a meteor.

He can finally marry his beloved girl!

The Yu family is currently in a strong position. Yu Yonghuai is highly valued by the current emperor. Even his sister is loved by the empress and was named the Lady of Fusui. The Jiangtai Marquis's mansion is the weaker party. Because the former wife of Jiangtai Marquis and Cen Yuehua were arrested for their crimes, Jiangtai Marquis wanted to act like a father-in-law in front of Yu Yonghuai, his aunt, but he was a little hesitant for a while.

So when Cen Yueyi and Yu Yonghuai, covered with red veils, knelt down to bid farewell to Jiang Taihou, Jiang Taihou grunted for a long time, and finally acted like a kind father, instructing Cen Yueyi to be filial to her parents-in-law, take good care of her uncle and aunt, manage the household chores, and be diligent and respectful after arriving at Yu's house.

Cen Yueyi couldn't see his expression clearly under the veil, she could only hear a respectful response.

Yu Yonghuai showed some disapproval of Jiang Taihou's words. When Cen Yueyi's cousin carried her out of the gate of Jiang Taihou's mansion and presented her with a sedan chair, Yu Yonghuai helped her, lowered his voice, and quickly said to Cen Yueyi: "I didn't marry you to let you do those things. We are a family, and we all take care of each other."

Cen Yueyi replied "OK" with a smile through her tears.

When she left Jiang Taihou Mansion, she did not feel sad at all, nor did she shed a single tear.

She didn't like Jiang Taihou Mansion in the first place, and when she married into the Yu family, she only felt that she was looking forward to the beginning of a new life. Therefore, when her father Jiang Taihou said those words just now, even though she was as dignified as she was, she just listened and responded with a polite response, not taking it to heart at all.

But when Yu Yonghuai said this to her, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Yes, family members are supposed to take care of each other.

With her future husband being like this, Cen Yueyi is looking forward to married life even more.

One hundred and eight loads of dowry were carried into the Zhenxi General's Mansion like flowing water.

The wedding procession from the Zhenxi General's Mansion had gongs and drums leading the way, with candies scattered everywhere, attracting many children to follow them, and the surrounding people were even more willing to come and add to the fun.

After all, General Zhenxi is a great hero who defends his country in the hearts of the people. When the great hero gets married, they naturally want to come and show their support!

In addition, Yu Yonghuai was wearing a brand new red groom's suit, riding on a tall horse, looking very heroic, not to mention how eye-catching! Such a groom is also a great hero, it's a pity to look at him more!

When Yu Yonghuai led Cen Yueyi, who was wearing a red wedding dress and a red veil on her head, into the Zhenxi General's Mansion, the people who were watching the excitement all cheered.

The servants of the Zhenxi General's Mansion brought in two large baskets full of lottery money. The baskets were tied with red ribbons, which looked festive.

The servants threw copper plates joyfully:

"The host is celebrating, let's all come and share in the joy!"

In the main hall of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu sat in the upper chairs, while Yu Daniu and Li Chunhua sat on the other side.

The rest of the Yu family stood on both sides, all with smiling faces.

Yu Yonghuai led Cen Yueyi, who was wearing a red veil, into the main hall. They bowed to heaven and earth, their parents, and each other, and officially became husband and wife.

The matchmaker, with a smile on her face, sent the bride to the bridal chamber.

Yu Yonghuai's new house was a courtyard near the Qingpu Courtyard of the eldest house. When naming it, Yu Yonghuai even climbed up to Cen Yueyi's window in the middle of the night and asked her what name she liked.

Finally, the two of them decided on Yingque Courtyard, which means the moon waxes and wanes, and the various encounters in life.

Yingqueyuan is a newly opened courtyard. All the supplies are the best ones selected by Wei Pozi and Li Chunhua from the warehouse. They look elegant and rich, and there is a touch of scholarly air in their wealth.

Cen Yueyi entered the new house wearing a veil.

The youngest child, Xuger, was led by Xingxing and climbed onto the new bed very consciously, becoming the boy who rolled on the bed.

Xu Ge'er rolled over and over again - the matchmaker laughed and shouted:

"One roll brings good luck, two rolls bring happiness. Three rolls bring dragons and phoenixes, four rolls bring the God of Wealth, five rolls bring good luck to the whole family, six rolls bring prosperity to everything!"

After reading this, Xu Ge'er, with a slightly confused look on his face, climbed down from the bed using both his hands and feet.

Xu Ge'er covered his little butt and nervously whispered to Xing Xing: "Sister, the maid didn't make this bed properly! It's very uncomfortable! Ask the maid to make it again!"

Xing Xing tried not to laugh.

This morning she saw with her own eyes Mrs. Wei spreading a thick layer of walnuts, red dates and other things under the Longfeng quilt. Wasn't it really uncomfortable?

"It's okay, it's okay." Xing Xing patted Xu Ge'er's little butt, "It's just for the sake of happiness and good luck."

Xu Ge'er didn't quite understand, but he always listened to Xingxing and believed in what Xingxing said.

Xu Ge'er put down his hands that were covering his buttocks, nodded pretending to understand, and said seriously: "So that's how it is!"

Xingxing almost laughed out loud.

Next, Yu Yonghuai followed the custom of his hometown and used a weighing rod to pick up the bride's red veil.

Under the veil, a face as delicate and gorgeous as a lotus with rouge painted on was revealed.

Starting from Bangger, the younger ones all shouted in support, "Sister-in-law is so pretty!"

"Fairy!"

"Wow, big brother is stunned!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere was very warm.

Cen Yueyi lowered her head shyly.

After drinking the wedding wine, Yu Yonghuai followed etiquette and went outside to entertain his comrades.

Yu Yonghuai left reluctantly.
