Zhao Xiaoyu arrived at the end of the village. The band behind him played even more vigorously, the gongs and drums were deafening, and some people were busy setting off firecrackers.
Amid the sound of cannon fire, Zhao Xiaoyu entered the yard, ready to pick up the bride.
Xiao Lei was in his room.
Not to mention, it's a little strange to switch genders.
She stood outside the door, cleared her throat, and deliberately imitated the rough voices of the men who were welcoming the bride, shouting, "Open the door! I'm here to pick you up!"
The courtyard erupted in laughter. Xiao Lei's voice came through the door, with a hint of helplessness in his smile, "How can you welcome a bride like this?"
The villagers watching the excitement were laughing so hard that they fell over, and someone started to jeer, "Xiao Lei, open the door quickly, don't make Xiao Yu wait anxiously."
The door creaked open. Xiao Lei, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, stood at the doorway, his handsome features gleaming in the sunlight. He wore no red veil, a red flower in his hair, and a smile in his eyes made him look even more energetic.
Zhao Xiaoyu was a little dazed, and only came to her senses when someone pushed her from behind.
She straightened her back and said, "I...I'll come and take you home."
"good!"
Xiao Lei had no elders, and actually he disliked the head of the Xiao family, so they did not have the farewell ceremony with the elders.
"Lift the sedan!" With a shout, the sedan was lifted up and moved forward first. Zhao Xiaoyu sat in the carriage at the back, and behind it was the grand wedding procession.
The journey was even more lively than the way there. The villagers followed the procession and laughed all the way. They had long since accepted Xiao Lei's visit. The Zhao family had invited them to the wedding, so they followed behind to enjoy the feast together.
Everyone tried to dress respectably, knowing that another group of people might come from the county town today.
"The Zhao family girl is amazing, she married a scholar from the Wu family!"
"Xiao Xiucai is not bad either, marrying into the family is so glorious!"
When the procession reached the Zhao family's main gate, the blast of firecrackers rang out. Zhao Dashu and Song Shi were already waiting at the door, their faces beaming with smiles.
People from the county town had also arrived early. They also wanted to join in the fun and see how Xiao Xiucai entered the Zhao family.
These two families are also very strange. One dares to marry and the other dares to marry. It is unprecedented for a scholar to marry into a wife's family.
"The people are here!"
Xiao Lei got out of the sedan chair.
According to the rules, he needed to step over the fire basin to ward off evil and avoid disasters, but the Zhao family skipped this step and went directly into the house to worship heaven and earth.
His dowry had already been carried into the yard. There were dozens of them, which was quite spectacular.
The ceremony took place in the main hall. When the housekeeper shouted, "Bow to Heaven and Earth," Zhao Xiaoyu and Xiao Lei knelt immediately, their foreheads touching. In an instant, she heard Xiao Lei whisper, "We've finally waited for this day."
This guy hooked up with her?!
Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could respond, the housekeeper had already shouted, "Bow to your parents twice."
Zhao Dashu and Song sat at the head of the table, looking at the perfect couple with tears in their eyes. Song, in particular, was overwhelmed with emotion as she thought of the frail young man who had once been a member of her family.
“Husband and wife bow to each other!!!”
Zhao Xiaoyu and Xiao Lei stood face to face and saluted slowly.
After the wedding ceremony, Xiao Lei entered Zhao Xiaoyu's room and sat on her bed, like a pet waiting to be favored.
The onlookers were talking to each other, and everyone was more excited than attending other wedding banquets.
"The young master has entered the bridal chamber!"
"I'm dying of laughter. Look at the Zhao family's daughter greeting guests seriously. Isn't it funny?"
