Xiao Yuan walked and played, Xiao Yang followed her at a distance, Xiao Jun held Xiao Yao's hand, and the two of them laughed and whispered with their heads against each other. The four of them walked towards the front yard where a large number of spectators had gathered.
"What do you think about the thing I asked you to help with?" Xiao Jun whispered in his sister's ear.
"I dare not give you any advice. If my mother catches me, I won't be able to explain myself!" Xiao Yao shook her head desperately. She didn't know if her parents were still mad at her. She should keep a low profile now and avoid doing things that could easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Fifth brother swears I will never give you up. Even if the sky falls, fourth brother and I will hold it up together. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, not even a tael of silver. I promise." Xiao Jun raised his hand and prepared to swear.
"Anyway, I won't need it until tonight, so let me think about it again!" On one side are her parents who hope that she will become a lady, and on the other side are her twin brothers who seldom ask for anything from her. Xiao Yao scratched her hair in confusion, wondering what she should do!
"I asked someone to reserve a seat in the front, where we can see our eldest brother and his wife as soon as they enter the door. When they enter the hall, we will stand next to grandfather. We will definitely not be squeezed." Xiao Jun was careful for once. He thought he had thought of everything he could think of.
When they reached the designated position, Xiao Yao gave the fifth brother a thumbs up. The location was good and the view was great. The newlyweds could see it as soon as they entered the door.
In the reception room, Prince Jing and his son sat opposite each other drinking tea. Mu Fengwu and Yun Can, who came with them, had changed their route halfway to go pick up the bride. Yun Yifan did not come today because he had something to do, so at this moment only Yun Yichen was sitting there steadily.
King Jing was worried about his son. "Today is such a great opportunity, why don't you try to get along with the Xiao family? What are you waiting for?" You say you like the girl, but you don't take the initiative. You say you don't care about her, but you help her find the doctor and send her gifts. Every time the Xiao family needs something, you show up without being urged. My son! What are you thinking? A real man should take action when it's time to act!
"Don't you want to go outside and take a look?" King Jing couldn't help but ask.
"No." Yun Yichen answered calmly. He didn't like to join in the fun, and because of his personality, he couldn't get along with people he didn't know.
"You..." King Jing finally shook his head helplessly. His son was not smart and he could not use his strength. If they were destined to be together, they could become husband and wife even though they were thousands of miles apart. If they were not destined to be together, they could not enter the same house even if they met every day. Let everything be left to fate!
"The bride is here." The loud cheers were followed by the sound of firecrackers. Xiao Lang, straddling the saddle and stepping over the fire basin, always with a smile on his face, welcomed Li Xueyan into the house holding a red silk ribbon.
From now on, this is Li Xueyan's new home. Her whole life depends on the man in front of her. With his respect and love, she will live a happy life. Otherwise... the eldest brother will definitely treat the eldest sister-in-law well. Xiao Yao believes that all men in the Xiao family will treat their wives well.
What kind of life will I live in the future? Will I find someone who is as kind to me as my father is to my mother, or my two uncles are to my aunt?
"What are you thinking about? The wedding ceremony is about to begin, let's go!" Xiao Jun dragged his sister into the hall.
A newlywed couple was preparing to worship heaven and earth. Xiao Yao found a seat near the front and watched the young couple strike their poses carefully, waiting for the celebrant to announce the start of the ceremony.
"Ouch!" Xiao Yuan wanted to squeeze next to his sister, but was bumped by someone. Everyone saw a chubby little body rushing straight towards the bride.
"Ruyi." Xiao Yao shouted and tried to stretch out her arms to stop her sister. In her haste, she completely forgot that her small body could not stop her sister's momentum. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pulled Xiao Yuan to the side. The two of them sat down at Xiao Lang's feet due to the force.
It was now difficult not to attract everyone's attention. People who were familiar with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion quickly recognized who the two children on the ground were.
King Jing secretly glanced at his son and saw that he was both angry and helpless. The little girl's way of appearing every time was so unique and impressive! With her, do you still have to worry about the dull and lonely life at home?
"Brother and sister-in-law, Ruyi and I wish you a long and happy life together." Xiao Yao pulled her sister up with great effort and clasped her fists.
"Yes, congratulations, congratulations; congratulations, congratulations." Xiao Yuan dusted off the dust on his body and imitated his sister to say auspicious words.
"You can say congratulations, but congratulations should be reserved for my eldest brother."
"Have I said too much? I'll take back the rest. Big brother, you go ahead and tell me more!"
Xiao Yao looked up at the sky speechlessly. Her sister's painting skills were really speechless!
"Let's retreat quickly, don't delay Big Brother and Sister-in-law from worshipping Heaven and Earth." Worshiping Heaven and Earth is the highlight! I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and I must not miss the auspicious time. If I miss the opportunity, Xiao Yao turned around and wanted to go back to where I was just now.
"I just touched my sister-in-law's skirt, let me help fix it." Xiao Yuan was in a hurry to pull the hem of Li Xueyan's skirt.
Xiao Yao was afraid that her impulsive sister would make another fool of herself, so she hurried over to help, carefully smoothing the bride's long dress. She also took the opportunity to tilt her head to peek at the bride, trying to get a glimpse of her from under the veil. Xiao Yuan quickly realized that this was a good opportunity to peek at the bride and also moved forward.
"Sister, have you seen the new sister-in-law's face? Isn't she pretty?"
"Not yet. Let me take a look first, and then you can look. It's too dark and I can't see clearly!" It was really like that in ancient times. Why did they choose to hold a wedding in the evening? The light was too dim and they couldn't even see what the new sister-in-law looked like.
"What should I do?" Xiao Yuan was very anxious. She really wanted to see the bride right now.
"It's a bargain for big brother. We can only wait until we are sent to the bridal chamber. After big brother lifts the veil, he will take a look first, and then we can take a look." Xiao Yao straightened her back with regret.
You two think other people's ears are just for show and can't hear these words, right? What do you mean by "Big Brother got a bargain"? That's someone else's bride, okay? They should have seen her first. These two naughty kids are being ignored, and the Xiao family hasn't said anything. Are we just going to watch them like this?
"Let's leave here quickly! It would be bad if we miss the auspicious time." Xiao Yao wanted to pull Xiao Yuan away.
"No! Let me take a look, just one look." Xiao Yuan said reluctantly.
"Come here, you two." Having seen enough of the excitement and being reminded that the auspicious time had arrived and that there was really no time to delay, Old Marquis Xiao called his two granddaughters softly, as if a slightly louder voice would scare them.
After a small accident, the most solemn ceremony officially began. With the ups and downs of the chanter's voice, the newlyweds began to worship heaven and earth.
"Bow to heaven and earth."
"Bow to your parents."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
Before the celebrant could finish his next words, he heard the Xiao family, starting with Xiao Rui, and several other children standing together and shouting loudly, "Send them to the bridal chamber."
"Haha, haha..." Happy laughter broke out in the hall. Perhaps such a scene could only be seen in the Xiao family: a little girl dressed as a man who wanted to peek at the bride; a few brothers who were making trouble together, and of course there were two pretending to be boys.
Xiao Lang looked at his younger brothers and sisters helplessly before he took up the red silk and walked towards the new house.
"Let's support our sister-in-law." Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan pushed aside the maids and servants beside Li Xueyan. The two of them supported the bride, who couldn't see the road clearly, on the left and right, and slowly walked forward.
After entering the bridal chamber, the bride was helped to sit on the edge of the bed. God knows how afraid Xiao Lang was of something going on along the way. Having two naughty sisters at home is really a headache!
The veil was lifted, and the wedding wine was drunk... until someone outside urged the groom to toast. Only then did Xiao Lang pat the hand of his cousin, now his new bride, in a comforting manner. He turned around and looked for someone he could trust, but after looking around, he felt that no one was reliable.
It’s good enough that the two younger sisters don’t scare my cousin, and Fourth Aunt is even more untrustworthy. Who can I rely on?
"Miss, the snacks are here." Xiaohui walked in with the fragrant snacks. A few days ago, Xiao Yao specially asked the kitchen to make a few heart-shaped snack molds, and also carved a few wooden seals with words such as "good luck", "promotion", "happiness and satisfaction" printed on them. These wooden seals were specially used to decorate the noodles and snacks for today's banquet.
The dessert in front of Xiao Lang and Li Xueyan was specially printed with the words "A Happy Marriage for a Hundred Years" (百百幸福婚). Xiao Yao wanted to add the words "Have a Baby Soon" (早生宝贝兒) but was stopped by Tong Mingyu.
Is it appropriate to ask a newly married bride to have a baby soon? Xiao Yao quickly gave up the idea and only kept the first four words.
"Sister-in-law, eat something first and then take a rest. Let's go out first!" Xiao Yao handed over the snack considerately and asked her eldest brother Xiao Lang to have a piece as well.
Li Xueyan washed her hands, shyly handed a piece to Xiao Lang, and then took the other piece and took a small bite.
You are so familiar with each other, but you are still so shy. What will you do if you marry someone else?
"Is it delicious? It looks delicious." Xiao Yuan swallowed his saliva and said with his finger to his lips. The second young lady is also hungry. I wonder if she can share a piece?
"Let's go eat outside and let sister-in-law have a rest." Xiao Yao held her sister with one hand and held the princess's fourth aunt who wanted to continue watching the sweet interaction between the couple with the other hand.
"You two should all be more considerate. Big brother is about to toast, and the young couple should have a few intimate words! My sister is just a child and can't see the situation, which is understandable. But as a married woman, the princess's fourth aunt didn't know how to avoid it. This is unacceptable."
After reaching the door, Xiao Yuan asked where he could get some snacks and then left in a hurry. Xiao Yao saw that only she and her fourth aunt were left, so she prepared to slip away. She took advantage of the moment when Princess Xiyue was still looking back at the new house reluctantly and quietly left.
Xiao Yao touched her stomach and felt a little hungry. No wonder Ruyi went out to find something to eat. She was starving, let alone her.
The most important thing in the world is eating. Xiao Yao also walked towards the place where the women's banquet was held.
