Chapter 510 The Boy with the Lamp
Southern Yunnan Prefecture.
The news that the King of Southern Yunnan was going to marry his granddaughter had spread far and wide, and the entire Southern Yunnan Prefecture was filled with joy.
Ge Xubai's men delivered the betrothal gifts, but the man himself did not come.
When his subordinates told him about what happened in Lingnan, the slight dissatisfaction in Ye Hanyi's heart disappeared.
He is such a person. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to delay time and save the victims first when he went to Beijing to report on his work.
Ye Xianfeng, the father-in-law, had never met his son-in-law. He only knew that his father's impression of him changed drastically after a trip to the capital, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his grandson-in-law.
Ye Xianfeng's rebellious nature was aroused, and he thought, I want to see how good this kid is.
But no one showed up after waiting for a long time, and Ye Xianfeng suddenly felt dissatisfied.
Originally, Ye Hanyi was still advising his father to be patient, but on the night before the wedding, Ge Xubai still hadn't shown up, and Ye Hanyi was speechless.
Could it be that he regretted it and ran away from the marriage?
Ye Hanyi didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up early the next morning, his eyes were dark and he looked very haggard.
The servants in the palace were a little undecided. Would this marriage go through today?
Ye Hanyi's mother, Mrs. Huo, was also very anxious, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
Ye Hanyi's face was calm. Looking at herself in front of the dressing table, she said without hesitation, "Put on my makeup. The wedding will go on as scheduled. He will definitely come."
Ye Hanyi believed that he was not an irresponsible person and could distinguish the important from the irrelevant.
The King of Southern Yunnan also ordered that everything should remain as usual.
If Ge Xubai didn't come, he would promise his granddaughter to someone else, and his granddaughter would have no trouble finding a husband.
Gu Qishan took a leave of absence some time ago and went to southern Yunnan to plan their wedding.
Ge Xubai has no father or mother, and he has no children. As master and apprentice, they are like father and son.
Gu Qishan was just feeling happy that his apprentice was about to settle down for life, but then this incident happened. Gu Qishan was immediately angry and annoyed.
This boy is so tactless. What could be more important than getting married?
Gu Qishan sent people to meet him two days ago. If they met him halfway, they would carry him back even if they had to, but there is still no news.
Today, the palace of the Southern Yunnan King is bustling with joy and happiness. Red silk is wrapped between the vermilion lacquered pillars, lanterns are hung high everywhere, and the gilded characters of happiness are dazzling.
From the hour of Chen, the palace gate was crowded with carriages and horses, the house was filled with guests, and the gifts piled up like a small mountain.
Ye Xianfeng and Mrs. Huo were welcoming the guests in front, and both of them had a forced smile.
If the groom doesn't show up later, the palace will lose face and Han Yi will become a laughing stock.
The King of Southern Yunnan also looked unhappy, but he was always dignified in front of outsiders, so everyone just thought that he was reluctant to let his granddaughter marry far away.
Ye Huaixu went to pick someone up, but he didn't come back for a long time.
The servant reminded, "Your Highness, the auspicious time will arrive in half an hour, but my son-in-law..."
The King of Southern Yunnan angrily said, "Why are you calling me son-in-law when the ceremony hasn't even concluded yet?"
I really misjudged you this time.
The guests outside didn't know what was going on, and the wedding banquet was still full of joy.
In another quarter of an hour it will be the auspicious time.
The King of Southern Yunnan finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to go to the bridal chamber.
He was going to tell Han Yi to find her a new husband.
There was a young man in the army, the son of a deputy general, who had long had feelings for Hanyi. The deputy general had once tried to express his intention to marry him, and the King of Southern Yunnan had also tested him. He was considered both good-looking and of good character, and was worthy of Hanyi.
The most important thing is that it is close to home, so I can have winter clothes after I get married and eat three meals a day at my parents' home.
Much better than that damn Ge Xubai.
As the King of Southern Yunnan took a step, he heard the excited voice of a servant behind him.
"Here he comes, here he comes, my lord. The groom is here to pick up the bride."
The King of Southern Yunnan blurted out, "Which groom?"
A man strode over and said with a smile, "Grandfather, you are right. The groom is naturally Ge Xubai, whom you personally selected."
It was Ye Huaixu who went to pick up the person. He lived up to everyone's expectations and found the person.
The tense expression of the King of Southern Yunnan relaxed slightly, and he felt completely relieved.
But he was still angry in his heart, so he naturally couldn't put on a good expression.
"Humph, he still knows how to come!"
Ye Huaixu smiled and tried to persuade him, "Grandfather, there's a hidden story behind this. Please listen to me. My brother-in-law was incredibly resourceful. When he was in Wuyang, he set up a trap to lure the Crown Princess out of her lair. He successfully rescued the Crown Princess's younger siblings, and the traffickers were brought to justice."
"Then he wanted to rush to Diannan Prefecture as fast as he could, but the young master and young lady of the Lu family were frightened and didn't want to trust anyone else. They only trusted me, their brother-in-law. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law was able to bring them along, so he went a little slower on the way. But fortunately, he finally caught up, which is a double blessing."
Naturally, Ge Xubai asked his uncle to help explain these words. Ye Huaixu was also angry, but Ge Xubai was too good at dealing with people. He directly gave him a sword, and Ye Huaixu quickly changed sides.
In addition to the King of Southern Yunnan, Ye Xianfeng and the Huo family also sent people to explain and try their best to restore their image.
Upon hearing this, the King of Southern Yunnan's expression eased slightly.
If this is the reason, it is understandable.
After all, the child was found, which is a good thing.
Ye Hanyi also received the news, and her tense heartstrings were completely relaxed.
Only then did she realize that her hands had been clenched tightly, and finger marks had already appeared on her palms.
On the other side, Ge Xubai changed into a brand new groom's suit and rode on his horse with high spirits.
——This is what everyone sees.
In fact, he was calculating the time with his heart in his throat.
Now we are racing against time and dare not delay for a moment.
Even the wedding dress he was wearing was hastily prepared for him by his subordinates in advance, and he put it on hastily.
He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his face.
There is probably no groom in the world who is more embarrassed than him.
Although it was rushed, fortunately I managed to make it.
The auspicious time arrived, and the groom's wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Southern Yunnan Palace. Ye Hanyi's vision was blocked, and she only heard the loud noise of gongs and drums outside, which was extremely lively.
Ge Xubai overcame numerous obstacles and finally got his bride.
Ge Xubai whispered, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ye Hanyi did not answer, but just walked out supported by the bridesmaid. Every step he took was extremely steady and full of peace of mind.
Gu Qishan prepared a house for Ge Xubai as a temporary wedding home. Ge Xubai received the bride, bid farewell to his parents, and the wedding procession went to the house.
Ge Xubai's eyes fell on the two little men standing at the front of the wedding procession.
They had also tidied themselves up and changed into festive clothes. Although Lu Yanxiu had a wound on his face, he recovered quickly and it was not serious. Lu Xingchen was even more adorable, with a clean face that looked particularly pleasing.
The two of them held gilded palace lanterns and lotus lanterns in their hands, with the patterns of "Two Immortals of Harmony and Unity" and "Qilin Delivering a Child" painted on the lamp surfaces.
The brother and sister have become lantern-carrying boys.
The boy holding the lantern must lead the way at the front of the wedding procession, and the lantern flame must be kept burning, to symbolize the early birth of a son.
Lu Yanxiu and Lu Xingchen are both good-looking siblings, and being lantern boys symbolizes having both a son and a daughter, which is simply perfect.
This matter was proposed by Lu Yanxiu. They, the brother and sister, were saved by General Ge, so they had to do something to repay him.
Ge Xubai was stunned when he saw the brother and sister.
He was just a warrior, so naturally he didn't expect this.
When he understood, his face couldn't help but soften.
The bridesmaid shouted with a smile, "Get the sedan chair ready, the bride is getting married."
