Chapter 14
Fengli and Shulan supported Luo Chaoyan on both sides and came to the front hall.
Huo Jin walked up to her, took her slender hand, and led her slowly to the Luo family elders who were seated in the hall.
Yin cried very sadly, and Luo Guanqing's eyes were also red. After all, they only have this one daughter, so it's natural for them to be reluctant to let her go.
Amid the blessings and greetings from the wedding official, the newlyweds followed the steps and bid farewell to each of their elders one by one.
Huo Jin's expression was cold but serious, and he said, "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will do my duty as a husband and respect and love her." After saying this, in their reluctant eyes, he put his arm around her waist, picked her up easily, and walked out.
Luo Chaoyan was feeling drowsy the whole time. Lack of sleep and physical discomfort made her extremely tired. She had managed to keep herself alert when she was saying goodbye to her parents just now, but now that she was being held in someone's arms, her mind began to wander again. When she was about to fall asleep, she could only feel that someone was carrying her and moving forward, and there was a strange and unknown future.
The wedding procession was very lively with the beating of gongs and drums along the way.
The Luo family girl's ten-mile red makeup is even more eye-catching.
Some people say that although the girl from the Luo family is marrying up, not everyone can afford this ten-mile red dowry. At least it looks very good on the surface. I have to say that this girl from the Luo family is lucky.
As the protagonist of these envious gossips, I will no longer have the chance to hear them. She had already fallen asleep when she was getting into the bridal sedan. It was not until the wedding procession arrived at the Huo Mansion from the Luo Mansion that she was awakened by Fengli and Shulan.
When she arrived at the Huo Mansion, she went through a series of tedious wedding ceremonies, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping her parents... After everything was finished, she was dragged exhausted and sent to the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, after a set of customs such as drinking wine from the same cup, tying the hair and performing the ceremony of having a baby soon, etc., the bridesmaid and maids left.
Luo Chaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Huo Jin and said, "Um... Sir, I want to wash up. Can you help me call Fengli and the others in?"
Huo Jin didn't mind her unfamiliarity, nodded, and went out to call someone.
After a while, Fengli and Shulan came in, helped her undress her hair and take off her wedding dress, and helped her into the bathroom.
After she finished washing up, Fengli brought her a bowl of brown sugar water, "Girl, drink this and you won't feel uncomfortable."
Luo Chaoyan nodded and drank a bowl of sugar water. Sure enough, her stomach felt warm and she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
After the two girls tidied up, they left.
When Huo Jin came in, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, yawning constantly, with the indigo on her fair face very obvious.
"It's getting late, let's take a rest."
Luo Chaoyan looked at him somewhat awkwardly, "My dear, um... we may not be able to perform the Zhougong ceremony today." She pointed to her belly, frowned slightly, and looked very uncomfortable.
Huo Jin was stunned at first, then said calmly: "It's okay! I'll sleep on the couch." He walked to the couch beside him.
Seeing him like this, Luo Chaoyan nodded secretly in her heart. Yes, he is indeed a gentleman. She thought he was going to the study. She thought he also knew that having separate rooms for the newlyweds would make people criticize her as the new bride. In order to return the favor, she found a blanket and spread it on the couch for him.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear!"
Huo Jin saw that she was smiling with curved eyebrows and a pair of lively eyes. She looked frank and matter-of-fact, but she did not have the slightest shyness that a newlywed should have.
He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes to look at her for a while, and whispered: "Go to sleep!"
Luo Chaoyan nodded, then walked briskly towards the bed, feeling relieved in her heart. She was actually somewhat thankful for the arrival of her period, otherwise she would have to consummate her marriage with a man she had only met a few times, which would have made her feel awkward even if she was as heartless as she was.
The newlyweds spent their wedding night in peace and harmony.
The next morning
Luo Chaoyan got up early, which was rare. When the maids came in with toiletries, they saw that she had already gotten up.
Shu Lan saw that she looked clear-headed and smiled, "Young Madam looks very energetic. It seems that Young Madam slept well yesterday."
"Not bad!" After all, she had been busy all day yesterday and had the bed all to herself. Thinking of Luo Chaoyan, she looked into the room with a guilty conscience and saw that the bedding on the couch was gone. She thought that Huo Jin had put it away, so she felt relieved.
Fengli came in with some delicious breakfast, her face full of surprise: "Madam, the breakfast made by the chef of the Huo Mansion is delicious."
When Luo Chaoyan smelled the fragrance, she suddenly felt very hungry. Just as she was about to pick up the spoon, she was stopped by Shu Lan.
Shu Lan nodded at her, signaling her to pay attention to the fact that Yue Li, Liu Xu and several other maids from the Huo mansion were standing in the room. These were the maids who served the former madam and were now working here.
"Madam, the master is doing morning exercises outside the courtyard and will be here soon."
She touched her nose awkwardly. According to the rules here, she had to wait for her husband to have meals together. But she swore that she had forgotten her new husband because she was hungry. But Huo Jin is really self-disciplined. He goes for morning exercises early in the morning after his wedding.
"When did you leave, sir?" she asked hurriedly, pretending to be concerned.
Just as Fengli was about to answer, she saw Huo Jin walk in.
He was dressed in dark green clothes, had a handsome and cool face, and his steps exuded a gentlemanly, steady and masculine air. No wonder this Kyoto woman "coveted" him. She glanced at the maids in the room and saw two of them expressing their love for him. This is really "beauty is a disaster"!
She shook her head and said with a smile, "My dear, you are really hardworking."
"Morning exercises can not only strengthen the body but also temper the will. Madam can also try it." Huo Jin said lightly.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and shook her head, quickly changing the subject: "My dear, let's eat first! We have to pay our respects to our elders later, so we can't be late." As she said that, she handed him a bowl of egg porridge in a servile manner. I hope this matter can be cleared up quickly, for I’m afraid this man will really drag her to do morning exercises together every day.
Huo Jin said nothing more and nodded.
The two began their first breakfast on their first day of marriage.
After breakfast, the two of them tidied up and went together to the yard where Old Mrs. Huo lived.
On the way, Huo Jin saw Luo Chaoyan was very polite and behaved like a lady from a wealthy family, which was very different from the way she behaved before. He said, "Grandmother and mother are both close friends. You don't have to be like this. Just be more natural."
Luo Chaoyan smiled and nodded. There was no change in her actions, so she thought she should wait and see how the situation develops. After all, no matter how close you are, it is impossible to be as free as your biological parents.
