Chapter 76 Wedding
The material of the wedding dress is smooth and delicate, and the style is novel. It is definitely not made in a hurry.
Zhao Wanrong's eyes are eager: "It looks like the craftsmanship of Jin Xi Pavilion... When I went to the shop with my sisters to buy satin last month, I heard that their wedding dresses are particularly difficult to order. You have to notify them several months in advance. I think they spent a lot of effort to order this wedding dress." "
Really?"
Su He stared at the wedding dress and was stunned. He suddenly remembered the scene when Lu Huaihe was choosing fabrics in Jin Xi Pavilion. Others were accompanied by their wives to choose, but he, a grown man, didn't think it was cumbersome.
"Second Miss Su doesn't know that the eldest princess was angry today and slapped Madam Lu several times, and she ended up going home in disgrace." Qingyun said truthfully.
Su He was surprised: "What happened?"
"Madam Lu spoke rudely in front of the eldest princess regardless of the occasion, which made her angry. She also refused to let Madam Lu attend the wedding banquet." Liu
's mouth was full of swear words, so it was a good thing that she didn't come.
However, once it got out, it would cause a lot of gossip.
The wedding dress was delivered, Qingyun's mission was completed, and Pei Xia sent him away.
Before leaving, he leaned over and whispered something in Su He's ear.
"The master said that we will see each other on the wedding night."
It was conveyed on behalf of Lu Huaihe.
Su He's ears turned red. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She just wanted Qing Yun to leave first.
Zhao Wanrong saw her shy look like a little girl, and her face was full of a smile of watching a play. She joked: "In my opinion, Lord Lu is really a good match! Look how happy you are!"
"Sister-in-law, you are joking again."
Su He touched the pearls and jade on the phoenix crown, and her heart softened. After
a few days of rest, Lu Zhili was able to get out of bed.
It happened that Lu Yanxiu came back from outside, and the three met in the hall. Lu Zhili immediately asked: "What did the second prince say?"
Lu Yanxiu was half sad and half happy: "He agreed to help me, but there was a request. He asked me to find an opportunity to bury this thing in the Su Mansion."
He held a brocade bag in his hand, which contained some incomprehensible characters, like the characters of another country.
Lu Zhili took out the contents of the brocade bag and looked at it. He thought about it and said calmly: "Since you are making a deal with the second prince, you must put this thing in the Su Mansion."
"Why?"
Lu Zhili stared at him seriously, and said in a flat tone: "Following the second prince, do you think you can do any good things?"
It is nothing more than framing court officials, removing the prince's party, and clearing the way for the second prince to seize power.
Even a discerning person could see the disputes in the court. Lu Yanxiu was a person who pursued orthodoxy, but what rank was he? The prince ignored him. Even if he did, he would not be able to help. It
just so happened that Lu Zhili had the honor of meeting the second prince, which undoubtedly built a bridge for him.
"But I..."
The Su family was indebted to the Lu family after all, and Lu Zhili was able to enter the Imperial College because of Su Ronghai's connections behind the scenes. Now he had to obey the orders of the second prince and frame them. Isn't it repaying kindness with enmity?
Seeing Lu Yanxiu's hesitation, Lu Zhili advised: "No risk, no gain. As long as we get rid of the prince's followers and there are only our people left in the court, why should the second prince worry about not being able to ascend the throne? The struggle for the throne has always been bloody, and now the emperor is so old, who knows when he will die? As long as the edict of succession has not been issued, the second prince still has a chance, and we, too, still have a chance!"
When he spoke of the urgency, the corners of his eyes turned red, and he wished he could immediately assist the second prince to ascend the throne, and the Lu family would be protected and hold the first rank, and from then on, become the superior people!
Lu Yanxiu was also moved by what he said.
The current situation in the court was not good for them.
The fact that Lu Zhili cheated in the exam further damaged the image of the Lu family. It was hopeless to make the Lu family prosperous by following the rules.
Lu Zhili grabbed Lu Yanxiu's wrist and said in a cold voice: "Brother, Su He framed me, how can the Su family be easy? Am I going to take those 100 sticks in vain?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yanxiu denied it hastily, but he was still choosing between his future and morality. After all, Su He had nothing to do with him anymore. How important was it that the Su family lived or died?
If the Lu family could be revived from this, it would be a stepping stone.
"I'll think about this carefully."
Lu Yanxiu clenched the golden bag in his hand.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Su family hung lanterns and decorated the house, celebrating continuously.
Laughter was heard everywhere inside and outside the mansion.
Nanny Tang came to the small courtyard to watch over Su He as a matchmaker. She was wearing a wedding dress with dark gold embroidery, pearls and jade in her bun, and a golden crabapple flower crown on her head, which made her look very noble.
Nanny Tang was amazed to be able to see the beauty of the bride before the groom. She praised Su He and Lu Huaihe, saying that they were a match made in heaven and that they were made for each other. She used all the auspicious idioms, and even Su He felt a little embarrassed.
In the bronze mirror, she looked very charming, and the flower ornaments on her forehead made her look particularly luxurious. Her beautiful eyes moved, and her heart moved.
She wondered when Lu Huaihe would come? And how would he dress?
As if she had seen through Su He's thoughts, Nanny Tang chuckled and replied, "When the auspicious time comes, the master will come to marry the young lady!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Nanny."
Nanny Tang was the person in front of the eldest princess. Su He had not yet figured out the eldest princess's temperament, so people facing her naturally had to be more polite.
Pei Xia, who went to the front yard to inquire about the news, ran in happily and took out the silver in her arms to show off, "Master Lu is really generous! Even I got ten taels of silver!"
Nanny Tang smiled and said, "Marrying is a big deal, my master attaches great importance to it!"
Listening to the lively voices in front, Su He knew that the welcoming team had arrived at the Su family. In order to marry her smoothly, Lu Huaihe needed to pass the barrier.
With Su Ronghai and Su Ling in charge, as well as some brothers from the Su family's side branches, Lu Huaihe must have spent more money to bribe them.
I don't know how long it took.
The noisy sounds gradually approached, and Nanny Tang hurriedly asked Su He to put on the red veil on her head.
Through the bright red cloth, Su He could only see the situation under his feet.
"Young Madam, let's go."
"Okay."
Under the guidance of Nanny Tang, Su He stepped over the threshold and walked out of the guest room.
Lu Huaihe, also wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a jade crown embedded in her hair, her eyes moving, her spirit bright and clear, was standing in front of the courtyard gate waiting for Su He.
Until Nanny Tang let go of Su He's hand, he walked over and gently held the slightly flustered hand.
"It's me."
Su He was stunned.
At this moment, the laughter and blessings beside her turned into a buzzing sound, and only Lu Huaihe's clear and pleasant voice could be heard in her ears.
She lowered her head to look at the road, and walked past the familiar bluestone road and forest path one by one, and finally arrived in front of the hall.
Su Ronghai and Wang sat upright in the hall, looking at the young couple with satisfaction.
Lu Huaihe bowed to Su Ronghai and performed the ceremony of being a son-in-law. Su Ronghai was so scared that he quickly stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed: "I leave my daughter to you. I hope we can work together and love each other in the future."
"I will remember it."
Wang looked at the two newlyweds' tightly held hands, tears in her eyes, and smiled and waved her hands: "Go, don't miss the auspicious time to enter the mansion."
Nanny Tang immediately called out loudly: "The bride is leaving the mansion and getting on the sedan chair!"
