Chapter 175 Wedding
"Your Majesty is so shameless! This is my princess's mansion, how can it become your home? You come here every night like this, and the old lady knows that there is no excessive contact before marriage. This is the rule, and now Your Majesty is not following the rules."
Chen Jingyan: "If you don't want to follow it, then don't follow it. It's not a big deal."
He was quite indifferent.
Yun Qiao felt as powerless as if his fist was hitting cotton.
Forget it, just follow him.
Dinner was soon served on the table, and Chen Jingyan accompanied Yun Qiao to eat dinner. Yun Qiao was listless during the day, but she was in good spirits at night. She went to the study to check the account book. Her small business was doing well, getting better day by day, and bringing in good income.
The farm that Chen Jingyan had promised to give her before was now under her name, but Yun Qiao had no plans to keep it for herself. She wanted to wait until her daughter Nian Nian grew up and leave it to the child.
Perhaps because she was very tired during the day, Chen Jingyan did not bother her when he came back today. After Yun Qiao finished with the account books and returned to the room, the two of them lay down and fell asleep.
Yun Qiao thought at night that he must be tired, and she felt relieved when she didn't play with him.
This morning, before I even woke up, my clothes were already being taken off.
"Chen Jingyan, are you sick? It's so early in the morning."
The man hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. "This is not a disease. Men are like this when they wake up in the morning. I just hugged you."
Before Yun Qiao could break free, he succeeded.
"Chen Jingyan, you are shameless, bastard..."
The man laughed muffledly and said, "You can't blame me for that. It's you who couldn't help it."
It's early in the morning, and I have to say, this is quite tiring.
During breakfast, Chen Jingyan told Yun Qiao that everything at the Marquis' Mansion was almost ready.
He thought about not coming three days before the wedding.
In addition, the child should be taken to the Marquis' Mansion so that she won't be too busy getting married on the wedding day to take care of the child.
Look at what he said, she is the child's biological mother, how could she not take care of the child?
However, what Chen Jingyan said is also correct.
She felt relieved to leave the three children to the old lady.
***
Soon, the wedding day arrived.
Several maids came to the palace to help Yunqiao dress up. The wedding dress was also made and sent by the palace, and the head ornaments worn by Yunqiao were also sent along with the dress.
"The wedding dress was personally ordered by the Empress, and the clothes for your return visit were prepared for you by the Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager said that you will return to the Imperial Palace in three days."
Yun Qiao was flattered.
"Huayang thanks Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
The two maids in charge accompanied Yun Qiao with smiles on their faces.
Said some festive and blessing words.
"Give Mammy some money. Thank you for your hard work."
Yun Qiao had put on her wedding dress and had just given the tip when she heard someone outside the door saying that the groom had arrived.
Yun Qiao suddenly felt a little excited.
Chen Jingyan looked quite different today. His clothes were mostly black, blue, and dark blue, but today he wore a red wedding dress, which made him look flamboyant and outgoing. His already outstanding appearance added a bit of elegance.
In Yunqiao's mind, he always thought of himself as an old man, a conservative man.
But now he was grinning like a young man who had just fallen in love. Fortunately, Grandma Xi was there to remind him of the rules, otherwise, according to Chen Jingyan's personality, he might have carried Yunqiao directly into the bridal sedan.
With a shout of "scattering wedding money", copper coins fell from the sky and people were picking up the coins all over the ground.
Yun Qiao had no brothers or family members, so naturally no one would bother to stop the groom. Fortunately, the queen was thoughtful and asked her two sons to come and help, but the two princes arrived a little late.
Emperor Showa's two sons were not very old.
The oldest is only fifteen, and the second prince is only thirteen this year, but these two grew up in the Northeast and are very tall. They are almost as tall as their cousin Chen Jingyan.
The two children have been feeling very suffocated in the palace, and now they want to take advantage of the happy event to make some noise.
They blocked Chen Jingyan who came to welcome the bride, and wanted to compete in archery, pitching pots, and poetry.
Yun Qiao sat upright in the house, listening to the maid reporting the situation outside.
"I'm already exchanging poems with the Marquis."
"The eldest prince is probably reciting the Book of Poetry and testing the marquis on how to recite it."
Xiao Tao laughed as she spoke, and Yun Qiao also curled her lips and smiled.
"I originally wanted to get married quietly, but from what you said, they were making quite a fuss outside."
It is really lively and the people who make noise are really noisy.
After memorizing the poems, you also have to memorize Shilaozi's Book of Songs.
Fortunately, he brought Pang Zheng with him. If he couldn't memorize it, he would be punished by drinking. Pang Zheng had already been punished by drinking eight cups, and Prince Mingyu was also pulled out as a shield.
"First Prince, Second Prince, let's carry them. I'll carry them for you. Please don't delay the Marquis's wedding."
"That won't do. My cousin must promise to teach me martial arts, otherwise I won't let you go..."
Chen Jingyan looked at the Second Prince and said, "You are a little immature if you want to stop me. Remember, from now on, your uncle's status has been upgraded."
After all, Princess Huayang is the emperor's aunt.
That is the great-aunt of these two little princes.
By this calculation, they have to call him son-in-law.
The two princes were obviously stunned by Chen Jingyan's questions.
By the time they reacted, Chen Jingyan had already walked into the house with a hearty smile.
The matchmaker calmly welcomed the groom in.
Yun Qiao had no parents, and since the Empress Dowager didn't come, she asked an old maid to come. Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan symbolically offered her a cup of tea.
When Yun Qiao got married, she was supposed to be carried to the bridal sedan by her family members, but she didn't have any family members to see her off.
Nor can she let the prince carry her on his back.
Chen Jingyan carried the bride sideways into the bridal sedan.
Yun Qiao was suddenly picked up by him and flew into the air. Her heart tightened and her arms around Chen Jingyan's neck also tightened.
Chen Jingyan whispered softly, "You better be careful. You only have this one husband. If you strangle him to death, he won't love you that much anymore."
"cheeky."
She spoke softly, and no one could see the faint smile on her face under the veil.
"Chen Jingyan, thank you."
"You are my wife, why bother saying thank you or not."
He walked quickly, followed by two servants who were responsible for scattering money.
After Yunqiao got on the bridal sedan, Chen Jingyan climbed onto the horse. The gong and drum team welcomed the bride with gongs and drums, and set off from the princess's mansion to the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion.
It takes two hours to drive from the Princess's Mansion to the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion.
Nowadays, when getting married, a sedan chair is carried by eight people, all relying on a pair of legs. Naturally, it moves slower and has to go around in a circle to show the festive mood.
If you come across a river ditch or land temple along the way, you should set off firecrackers, throw wedding buns or scatter money.
Arriving at the Marquis' Mansion at the auspicious time was just perfect.
This was Yun Qiao's first time riding in a bridal sedan. She rarely rode in sedans normally, and they were bumpy and not as fast as a carriage.
But today she felt that this swaying journey was so much like her entire life.
Before they knew it, they were outside the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers getting louder and louder, Yun Qiao knew that they had arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.
She couldn't help but lift up the red veil, quietly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and looked out.
Before he could even take a look at it, the matchmaker immediately pulled it off.
"Princess, don't worry. We'll be there soon. The Marquis' Mansion has arranged fireworks, which are being set off in front. Let's wait a moment before heading over."
"Oh, there's a gong and drum team ahead, coming this way."
The matchmaker was someone the old lady had sent to find, and she was someone who had seen the world.
At this moment, she was only focused on watching the fun, but the hand that held the curtain of the sedan chair tightly closed made it impossible for her to see even if she wanted to.
The fireworks were beautiful, but she couldn't see them.
She couldn't see the lively scene.
Look at this marriage, she is the protagonist, but the excitement is just for others to watch.
Soon the sedan started moving again. Yun Qiao knew that this time it would be taken to the lobby.
When they arrived at the gate of the marquis's mansion, Chen Jingyan came to greet her and walked with her, listening to the festive words shouted by the matchmaker.
The queen is here today, but the most honorable person in this family is still the old lady.
The Queen also has to call the old lady Grandmother.
First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, and then enter the bridal chamber.
Just as Chen Jingyan was about to help Yun Qiao into the bridal chamber, a group of friends rushed in from outside and invited them to go for a drink.
Chen Jingyan held Yun Qiao's hand and did not let go.
Yun Qiao whispered, "You go take care of yourself, I'll go back to the house first. I want to see where the children are."
"Mother Chang in front of Grandmother is watching over her son, the maid in front of the Empress is holding Nian Nian, and I've asked Wuying to keep an eye on her in the dark, don't worry."
He arranged it well.
"I'll go out and take a look. I'll come back to find you later."
Yun Qiao really didn't want him to come at this time. After all, there were so many guests in the marquis' mansion who needed someone to entertain them.
"You are busy, don't worry about me."
After having the maid and the old woman escort Yun Qiao to the bridal chamber, Chen Jingyan went to toast with his friends and colleagues.
Gu Heng and Li Yuan were also very busy. They had to prepare the meals, drinks and beverages for entertaining guests in the Marquis' Mansion, and they had to serve them in a timely manner. In addition to male guests, there were also female guests, and the female guests had to be taken special care of. Their food and drink expenses had to be very impressive.
This is what our ancestors said.
The wedding of the Marquis of Zhenbei must not lose face.
Li Yuan looked at the fish in the kitchen and felt nauseous, but he forced himself to hold it back.
"Keep an eye on everything, don't let anything go wrong."
"Have you finished serving the cold dishes? If you have, then we'll start serving the hot dishes. Don't let them get interrupted. Keep a close eye on them."
Li Yuan ran out of the kitchen with a handkerchief covering his mouth. He retched a few times but couldn't vomit.
"Auntie, are you okay? Are you too tired?"
Li Yuan looked up and saw it was Chen Yuan.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go to the West Courtyard and learn the rules from Doctor Zhang?"
Zhang Rou was sent by Yun Qiao to take care of the old lady.
Seeing that she was efficient, the old lady let her stay in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion was busy at the moment, so the old lady asked Zhang Rou to help entertain the female members of the family.
Chen Yuan is registered under Yun Qiao's name. The old lady now favors Yun Qiao, so she naturally values Chen Yuan as well, so she lets her follow Zhang Rou to learn the rules. Li Yuan also knows this. If she doesn't follow Zhang Rou, why would she come to the kitchen?
Chen Yuan said softly, "I think mother must be hungry at this hour, so I'll go to the kitchen and bring her some food."
"You're thoughtful, but the Marquis has already mentioned the meal delivery errand. I've sent someone to deliver the food. Don't worry about it. Go to the West Courtyard quickly. How can you not tell what to do and what not to do at this time?"
