Chapter 428 Wedding
When Aunt Xu saw the two of them coming, she immediately bowed to Zhao Tingduo without even needing Song Liyun to introduce them: "Old servant Xu, greetings to the young master!"
Zhao Tingduo took two quick steps to Madam Xu's side, raised her hand and supported her arm with a smile: "Madam, please stand up. Thank you for your hard work!"
It is indeed hard for an old maid in the palace to travel thousands of miles.
Nanny Xu stood up and was stunned to see Zhao Tingduo with bright eyes and elegant demeanor, without any airs of superiority.
She had never seen Zhao Tingduo, but she had heard the garrison's wife describe Zhao Tingduo's appearance while she was in garrison.
He knew that this young man from the Di tribe was not only skilled in archery and horsemanship, but also outstanding in talent. He was a young man who was no less capable than the men of the Wu Dynasty.
The sight at this moment was beyond her imagination.
Zhao Tingduo was originally a good-looking person. At this moment, he was wearing a clean royal blue leather robe and a pointed leather hat. A jewel-studded silk ribbon hung from the end of the hat, fluttering in the wind.
Her tall and graceful figure even overshadowed Song Liyun next to her, making it difficult for her not to attract attention.
Aunt Xu couldn't help but say in her heart: "It's a pity that such a talented person was born in such a barren place.
Even if he was born from the womb of the Duke of Anguo's legitimate concubine, he is still a famous young man in the capital."
As an elder in the palace, she naturally knew what to say and what not to say. This thought only flashed through her mind before she regained her composure.
"Young Master, these are the servants that the Duke asked me to send. Please accept them!"
She turned and gestured.
The maids, servants, and nannies all bowed in unison: "This humble servant greets the young master!"
Zhao Tingduo frowned slightly: "Madam Xu, these servants should be given to my mother by my father, right? Let's wait until we meet my mother first!"
Aunt Xu's smile remained unchanged: "This old servant will obey the young master's orders!"
Elder Shan had sent the message to the tribe a few days ago, and now colorful banners have been hung in the Kala Valley.
Even the cattle and sheep were tied with silk ribbons, and the whole valley was filled with joy.
Because other tribes came to attend the wedding, many new tents were added to the valley.
The most eye-catching thing is a brand new snow-white tent with colorful silk tied at the door. It is prepared for the newlyweds.
The arrival of the bridal convoy brought the celebration to a climax.
Song Liyun, who had dressed up like a bride again, did not take a carriage, but rode on the back of a chrysanthemum-green horse with a big red flower on it.
Xiao An, wearing new clothes, held the reins for her.
Next to Juqing's horse, there was an energetic old horse running happily.
This is a pound of salt from the old horse raised in the Wuda tribe.
After a year of recuperation, although his hair is sparse due to old age, he has gained weight.
Mrs. Wu Ya changed her usual behavior and wore a dark blue dress instead of red. She was waiting outside the tent with the beggar lady who was also dressed in a new look.
When they saw the beautiful couple riding side by side, tears flashed in Mrs. Wuya's eyes, and the beggar's wrinkled face was filled with a bright smile.
Behind the two of them, Yuquan's face flushed with excitement and she kept rubbing her hands.
Here, Song Liyun saw Song Dekui as expected.
As an elder from Song Liyun's maternal family, he came all the way from the Mida River Valley, but Song Erlang did not come because he had to stay at the construction site.
The wedding started without any delay.
Roasted whole lamb, milk wine, milk tea, and large chunks of lamb, these were all prepared in advance by the tribe.
Amidst the singing and dancing crowd, Song Liyun felt lost as she looked at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds but showed no signs of snow.
Elder Shan said that a ceremony should be held on the first snow of winter, using his wedding to sacrifice to the dead souls.
So I rushed to Kara Mountain in advance and waited for the heavy snow to come.
But it hasn’t snowed yet, so why are we getting married?
However, everyone was so happy now that even if she wanted to ask, she couldn't bring up this disappointing matter.
The doubts in Song Liyun's heart soon dissipated in this lively atmosphere.
The wedding was lively all day long and did not stop until nightfall.
Zhao Tingduo sent Song Liyun into the big tent which served as a bridal chamber, and gave some instructions to Yuquan and the maid who were serving her. Then they left and closed the door.
Song Liyun sat on the couch with a red face.
Zhao Tingduo came over with two glasses of water in his hands: "You've been tired all day, so let's not drink alcohol, let's have some tea!"
Song Liyun looked up at him. Wu Chao's wedding night required drinking a cup of wine.
Zhao Tingduo sat down next to her: "After today, we are a couple who will be inseparable in life and death. Only with a clear mind can we get through this soberly."
Song Liyun chuckled: "What do you want to say?"
Zhao Tingduo also smiled, put the teacup in his hand on the cabinet next to him, and touched Song Liyun's red face with the back of his hand: "I can't hide it from you! I saw that your face must be dry after drinking. There is floor heating in this tent, so I prepared some tea to sober up and quench your thirst. There is also a small stove in the tent, so you can drink water anytime."
Song Liyun was toasted by the wives of several tribal leaders today, so she had to drink a few more glasses. Now, she was thirsty and hot because of the heat.
I didn't expect that Zhao Tingduo was busy with socializing all day and even observed the situation on my side.
Song Liyun took the tea with a smile: "Be clear-headed in life and muddle-headed in life. This is also good!"
The warm and refreshing tea, which is a tribute tea, makes your lips and teeth salivate instantly.
Song Liyun felt the heat on her face dissipate, but when she turned around, she saw Zhao Tingduo's handsome face approaching her, and his soft male voice: "Ayun, we are finally married! You should give yourself to me!"
Whenever Zhao Tingduo made such a baby voice, Song Liyun felt as if her bones were all soft, and the heat that had just dissipated rushed to her face again.
We have kissed and touched each other, but the final step must wait until today.
The two of them were not strangers like ordinary couples. It had been more than two years since they met, and they had already said all the sweet words they wanted to say on the way to the wedding.
At this moment, speaking another word would be a waste of time.
The wedding night, which was delayed due to the old emperor's death, finally arrived.
Excited hands ripped open the two people's belts, and the dress accessories scattered all over the floor.
There was floor heating in the big tent, and the red curtains were illuminated by the red candles, making the air seem to be burning.
The time is very long, yet it seems very short.
After a night, Song Liyun stretched her body and felt extremely sore. She was speechless: Men riding horses have really good waist strength!
I am not a delicate young lady.
As soon as she woke up, Zhao Tingduo also woke up. He stretched out his long arms and hugged her in his arms.
Song Liyun pushed her hand away: "It's dawn, we should get up early and pay our respects to Mother!"
Zhao Tingduo buried his face in the crook of her neck, rubbing against her while humming, "Mother doesn't need to pay respects, I am the one who needs..."
Song Liyun couldn't mess around with him anymore.
Because they didn't want to have the embarrassment of asking for hot water in the middle of the night on their wedding night, they immediately took out new bedding from the space and replaced the bed that had been soiled last night.
I changed the sheets twice in the middle of the night and used hot water twice. I was busy all night and basically didn't get any sleep.
There are still bedding sheets piled up in the space.
Song Liyun struggled to push Zhao Tingduo off her, then hurriedly covered her face to block out the nibbling mouth: "Stop it, today is the first time to pay respects, not only Madam Wuya, my uncle Kui and the others, don't forget, there is also Aunt Xu from the palace!"
Speaking of Aunt Xu, Zhao Tingduo regained consciousness. He propped up half of his body and showed off his muscular body without any concealment.
He frowned and was about to say something when there was a light knock on the door and Madam Yun's voice: "Young Master, Young Madam, you need to serve tea to Madam in an hour!"
Song Liyun sat up and hurriedly put on her clothes, complaining to Zhao Tingduo, "It's all your fault. You've been dragging your feet and wasted time."
Zhao Tingduo sighed, knowing that he couldn't get out of it any longer, so he could only pick up a set of undershirts and put them on casually, then walked barefoot on the wool carpet to open the door.
