Chapter 56 Marriage
Wen Yingxue and Aunt Lian chatted until late at night before falling asleep in each other's arms.
It seemed like Wen Yingxue had just fallen asleep when she was woken up. The maids and old women first asked Wen Yingxue to wash and bathe.
After a while, the matchmaker and Madam Quanfu all arrived.
When Wen Yingxue came out, her room was already crowded with people.
Mrs. Quanfu first opened Wen Yingxue's face, twisting the hairs off her face with a red string. Wen Yingxue had fair, delicate skin and was a bit delicate. While Mrs. Quanfu was doing this, Wen Yingxue felt a sharp pain on her face.
After the face is ready, I start combing the hair.
"One comb to the end, two combs to the eyebrows, three combs to the children and grandchildren..."
Mrs. Quanfu was singing and chanting while combing her hair, which made Wen Yingxue feel a little drowsy.
Then they started putting on makeup. When Wen Yingxue was about to fall asleep while sitting, everyone finally stopped.
Wen Yingxue took a look in the bronze mirror and was immediately a little stunned.
Her small face was as smooth as cream, and she had a pair of clear eyes. Her facial features were already delicate, but after applying rouge and powder, her originally immature and young face showed a hint of mature charm under the makeup.
Wearing a phoenix crown and a fiery red dress, Wen Yingxue's perfect figure is highlighted. She looks like a fairy, truly charming and alluring.
Everyone in the room stopped breathing for a few seconds.
"nice!"
"Like a goddess descending from heaven."
Just then, the sound of firecrackers was heard outside, and the wedding procession arrived.
Wen Yingxue still feels a little unreal that she is about to get married.
After putting on the red veil, Wen Yingxue was led to the main room to say goodbye to Old Man Wen.
Father Wen said, "Originally, your mother should have given you the dowry, but she is seriously ill and is still recovering at the farm, so she can't send you off. Let your aunt do it instead."
Then, a woman came forward and gave Wen Yingxue a red jade bracelet, which she put on her left wrist.
Wen Yingxue wore two bracelets on her right wrist, one was a plain silver bracelet given by Nie Chubai, and the other was a mutton-fat jade bracelet given by Aunt Lian.
This was what Wen Yingxue asked Aunt Lian for last night.
Since Aunt Lian could not openly add makeup to Wen Yingxue in her capacity as a mother, Wen Yingxue would wear it secretly.
After the ceremony, the eldest brother Wen Yuanan carried Wen Yingxue on his back and sent her to the bridal sedan.
The sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out again. Wen Yingxue felt the sedan chair shake slightly, and then it moved forward.
Gently lifting the veil, all she saw was a sea of red. Wen Yingxue then realized belatedly that she was really going to get married.
She was feeling very complicated, a little hesitant, at a loss, and also a little worried and scared. But she knew that Nie Chubai was right in front of her, and the thought of this made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Wen Yingxue knew that no matter what happened, he would protect her.
The sedan chair quickly stopped, and a bony hand reached out. Wen Yingxue placed her hand forward.
Unlike the cold touch before, this time Nie Chubai's hand was warm and powerful. He held her tightly, making her feel very safe.
There were no elders in General Nie's mansion, so Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai paid their respects to the heaven, the earth, and the tablet. From now on, she, Wen Yingxue, was the wife of the villain Nie Chubai.
"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!" As the last chant ended, Wen Yingxue was escorted to the bridal chamber.
As soon as she sat down on the wedding bed, Wen Yingxue heard a commotion in the room, as if there were many people there.
Nie Chubai came and sat down beside her, and immediately Aunt Xi shouted, "The groom has taken off his veil!"
A wedding scale was extended under the veil. The next second, Wen Yingxue felt her eyes light up and she looked up to see Nie Chubai.
The eighteen-year-old boy wore a dazzling red wedding dress today, which made Nie Chubai's enchanting face look even more enchanting.
When Nie Chubai saw Wen Yingxue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then his face darkened and he glared unkindly at the people who were joining in the fun in the bridal chamber.
"What a beautiful bride!"
"What a perfect match for the General!"
Nanny Xi was also stunned by Wen Yingxue's appearance. It was only after Nie Chubai glanced at her that she reacted.
A bowl of dumplings was brought to Wen Yingxue.
Wen Yingxue knew what it meant and only took a small bite.
"Are you going to have the baby or not?" asked Aunt Xi.
"Give birth." Wen Yingxue blushed as she uttered the word, and laughter immediately rang out from the bridal chamber.
After that, they drank the wedding wine. After drinking, Nie Chubai stood up and took the people who wanted to make trouble in the bridal chamber away.
Originally, several of his subordinates, including Hao Wanlin, were unwilling to leave, but they were suppressed by Nie Chubai with force and directly dragged out.
As soon as the people left, the bridal chamber fell silent. Wen Yingxue stood up and said to Ai Ye, "Hurry up and get some water. I need to take a shower and change clothes."
Although it was almost September, the weather was still quite hot. Wen Yingxue was wearing layer upon layer of wedding clothes, which made it even hotter.
Ai Ye smiled and said, "The general has already made preparations, Miss, please go quickly."
Wen Yingxue gave Nie Chubai a thumbs up in her heart.
When I came out of the shower, there was already a basin of ice and food in the room.
Wen Yingxue knew that the food served was her favorite just by smelling it.
"Is this also what Nie Chubai asked someone to prepare?" Wen Yingxue asked Ai Ye, and Ai Ye nodded.
Wen Yingxue chewed the osmanthus cake in her mouth and felt that it tasted sweeter than before. As she ate, she wanted to see Nie Chubai right now.
After dinner, Wen Yingxue sat on the bed in a daze. After a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"The general has returned to his room!" someone shouted outside. Wen Yingxue woke up with a start and saw Nie Chubai staggering in.
Wen Yingxue went to help him up: "How much alcohol have you drunk? You reek of alcohol!"
Nie Chubai leaned on Wen Yingxue and almost overwhelmed her. The smell of white wine rushed straight to Wen Yingxue's forehead, making her frown uncomfortably.
Seeing Wen Yingxue's expression, Nie Chubai quickly stood up and said, "I didn't drink much. I just poured half the whole jar of wine on myself. Otherwise, those people outside would never let me come back."
Seeing Nie Chubai's burning gaze, Wen Yingxue said, "It's okay to come back later."
"Yes, I can't wait to see you."
Wen Yingxue shyly pushed Nie Chubai and said, "Hurry up and wash up and change your clothes. You stink."
Nie Chubai kissed Wen Yingxue and turned to wash up.
Wen Yingxue looked at Nie Chubai's back and felt a little nervous, but when she thought of Guan Ziming's words, she calmed down.
However, Wen Yingxue was still tortured badly at night. Although she didn't do her best, it was almost the same.
Since he couldn't consummate his marriage, Nie Chubai had to drink some broth anyway. So he grabbed some broth and drank it vigorously.
