Chapter 19 Big Wedding
June 6th is suitable for marriage.
Before dawn, the entire Su Wang Mansion was already busy. A group of tall and rough men hung red silk and moved stools to decorate the venue, busy and orderly.
On the side of the Marquis of Yongchang, Shen Mingjiao was called out in a daze. Before she could open her eyes, she was carried by the rough Haitang to the clean room to take a bath. She didn't fully wake up until her hair was half-dried.
In the past, Haitang was the only servant in the Qiangwei Courtyard, but today it was extremely lively, the small courtyard was packed with people, Xi Niang and five or six maids circled around her,
Shen Mingjiao was dizzy, so she simply ordered several people to bring her meals.
Not long after, a few people came back and brought only a large bowl of white porridge and a plate of cold cucumber. "The madam said that the fourth girl is getting married today, so it's not advisable to eat too much."
Shen Mingjiao glanced at the sparsely boiled white porridge. She was afraid that she would have to go to the latrine so many times with this big bowl. Li's thoughts were really speechless.
She didn't say anything, she just picked up chopsticks and ate a few cucumbers.
Several people waited for her to change into her wedding dress.
Haitang came in with an ugly expression, "Girl, the Quanfu people invited by Madam are here, it's just..."
Shen Mingjiao saw Mrs. Xiumei walking in, and instantly realized that the Quanfu person invited by Mrs. Li was Mrs. Jingguo, that is, Pei Ji's mother.
Asking her former fiancé's mother to be her blessing, Shen Mingjiao can only say that in order to scare her off, Mrs. Li really does everything she can!
Shen Mingjiao stood up, and walked forward with a smile: "Aunt Pei."
Mrs. Yasukuni patted her hand, took an emerald bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand: "Good boy, it's my A Ji who is unlucky." She wiped the corners of her eyes.
"It's all right now, Aunt Pei is really happy for you that you can marry King Su."
Shen Mingjiao helped Mrs. Jingguo to sit down, and said with a smile, "Don't think too much about it, let the past go. Now that Mr. Pei and I have our own belongings, this is already the best result."
It was Pei Ji who wanted to divorce at the beginning. As for Mrs. Jingguo, even if she had some small selfishness, it was human nature.
Besides, when the relationship between the two parties is so embarrassing, Shen Mingjiao is still very grateful that she can agree to come and be a blessing for herself.
Li Shi, who was following behind, watched the two talking and laughing, gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that this girl is really deep enough in the city, and she is clearly vomited in her heart, but she pretends to laugh at Yan Yan,
Shen Mingyan, who came with Mrs. Li, tore off a purse from her waist, handed it to Shen Mingjiao, and said with a smile, "This is the purse I embroidered with my own hands. I wish fourth sister a happy wedding."
Shen Mingjiao signaled Haitang to accept it, and replied with a similar smile: "I'm happy with you, I heard that my sister and Young Master Pei's marriage is scheduled for next month. My sister is here to congratulate her for getting her wish."
Facing her insightful gaze, Shen Mingyan looked away in embarrassment, her fingers clenched into fists.
After Mrs. Yasukuni finished combing her hair and twisting her face, Xi Niang stepped forward and wanted to make up for her.
Shen Mingjiao hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "I'll do it myself." She didn't want to be painted as a white-faced steamed bun.
Her facial features are already gorgeous, so she doesn't need too much makeup. She simply painted her eyebrows and eyes, and then applied a little blush and rouge. Glancing at the bronze mirror, he nodded in satisfaction.
Duke Yasukuni put on the phoenix crown for her, and everyone gasped for a moment.
Shen Mingjiao was originally extremely beautiful, but now that she dresses up a bit, her beauty has reached a new height. That red wedding dress seemed to be tailor-made for her, with a bright face like a rouge horse, and the whole person seemed to be shining.
Shen Mingyan looked at Shen Mingjiao like this, her nails were unconsciously embedded in her palms.
Some people are born with good luck, and they can catch everything with just one face.
But, why?
At this time, the sound of firecrackers was heard from far away, and the servant girl came over to report: "His Royal Highness King Su has arrived at the door."
"Quick, put the hijab on."
Outside the gate of Yongchanghou Mansion, His Royal Highness King Su, dressed in red, came on horseback, followed by a group of young men with solemn faces.
When they got close, everyone got off their horses neatly. As they walked, their backs were straight and their steps were in unison, if it weren't for the big red flowers pinned to their chests. At a glance, it doesn't look like they are here to pick up a bride, but it looks like they are in a military parade.
So many teenagers from the branch of the family who were originally in charge of blocking the door unconsciously straightened their backs,
There was even a young man who had joined the army and instinctively knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped. When the others saw him and looked at each other, they unconsciously knelt down and clasped their fists to salute.
The scene was silent for a moment, and the two people looked at each other silently,
The people who watched the excitement around looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling in their hearts that His Royal Highness King Su is indeed the God of War of the Great Xia Kingdom, and that festive events such as blocking the door with relatives can be done like a military exercise.
Feng Wu coughed lightly, and wanted to open his mouth to brighten the atmosphere, but saw his highness raised his hand, and said lightly: "Everyone back down."
The army boy who took the lead and knelt down respectfully stepped aside when he heard the words, and the others were dazed when they saw this, and also stepped aside.
So His Royal Highness King Su walked in with such strides,
Everyone: "..."
Discussed the plan to block the door all night, the young men who planned to use this to get in touch with King Su: "..."
…
Shen Ji'an smiled happily, although she was quite afraid of Shen Mingjiao after what happened last time, but because she was married to King Su, almost all the dignified figures in the court came.
After saying goodbye to their loved ones, the next step is for the brothers in the family to carry the bride into the sedan chair.
But at this time, a servant girl came to report in a panic: "Madam, it's not good, the young master slipped and hurt his leg when he went down the steps."
Li Shi stood up abruptly: "What's the matter, how could you slip and fall in a good way, is the fall serious?"
After saying that, he stopped bothering everyone in the hall and hurried to the backyard.
Xi Niang hesitated and said: "The auspicious time is coming, Lord Hou, look..."
Everyone also reacted,
That's right, now that the young master has fallen and injured, and the young master of the third bedroom is too young, who would marry a bride on his back?
This is a young man with flirtatious eyebrows and eyes: "Father, since the elder brother's leg is injured, let me carry my sister to the sedan chair!"
A pair of eyes stared straight at Shen Mingjiao's uneven figure wrapped in the wedding dress.
Shen Ji'an nodded indifferently.
Shen Mingjiao felt a malevolent stare staring at her, through the dangling tassels in front of her eyes, she could clearly see that the man was Shen Qiang, the concubine's young master, a flamboyant playboy.
Seeing Shen Qiang walking towards her step by step, she frowned, feeling nauseated.
Unfortunately, with so many people watching, this man can be regarded as her elder brother. It's really difficult for her to do anything under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Shen Qiang walked up to Shen Mingjiao, fixed his eyes on her exposed white chin, and swallowed.
"Sister, come on, brother will carry you onto the sedan chair!" There was a playful joke as soon as he opened his mouth.
After saying that, she raised her hand, as if she wanted to pat her on the shoulder, Shen Mingjiao took a step back.
Shen Qiang sighed and said loudly on purpose: "Sister, I know you have always looked down on concubines, and I have gotten used to it over the years, but today is my sister's wedding day, even though I know my sister hates me, I still want to personally send my sister to the sedan chair, He bowed his head and begged: "Good sister, just give me this chance!"
Shen Mingjiao got goosebumps from being called "good sister" by him,
However, hearing what he said, the guests present felt that Shen Mingjiao was arrogant and condescending, and looked down on her brother-in-law who loved her wholeheartedly.
Shen Mingjiao was in a dilemma. Unexpectedly, Shen Qiang bent down in front of him at this time.
"It's time, sister, come up!" A pair of eyes looked at her beggingly.
...
The corners of Shen Qiang's mouth curled up triumphantly,
Shen Mingjiao gritted her teeth, and scolded the person behind the design a thousand times in her heart.
According to the custom, the bride cannot speak after covering her head.
But she couldn't bear to be carried by such a disgusting thing.
In the end, she only thought for a moment, and decided to go out by herself.
As for being talked about as deviant, defiant, etc...
Forget it, the mouth grows on other people, they can say whatever they like!
Left and right will not lose a piece of meat.
But at this moment, Feng Lisheng, who hadn't seen anyone for a long time, came over, and saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not right. He asked Shen Mingjiao: "What's going on?"
Shen Mingjiao felt that there was never a moment when Feng Lisheng's voice was so beautiful!
So she didn't care about any customs and taboos, pointed at Shen Qiang, and said arrogantly: "I don't want him to recite it, the way he looks at me is disgusting!"
Everyone looked at her speechlessly, feeling that this girl was really arrogant.
Feng Lisheng casually glanced at Shen Qiang, who was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
Feng Lisheng: "The bones are so soft, why are you trying to be strong!"
Shen Mingjiao laughed outright, she almost said that Shen Qiang couldn't do it directly, but she didn't see that Feng Lisheng actually had the property of a poisonous tongue that choked someone to death with a single sentence.
Xi Niang said tremblingly: "Your Highness, if you don't leave, you will miss the auspicious time..."
Feng Lisheng stepped forward.
Shen Mingjiao thought that he was coming to hug her, and stretched out his hand very cooperatively.
But Feng Lisheng leaned slightly in front of her, "Come up."
Shen Mingjiao: "..."
Hahaha! Forgive us, His Royal Highness Su Wang is a straight man with terminal cancer!
