The wedding team surrounded Chu Xing and came to the gate of the inner courtyard.
The girl who was raised with great effort was to be taken away by someone else's family, so the woman's family naturally had to make things difficult for the groom. Therefore, after Chu Xing passed the Lu family's men's level, he had to pass the test of the women's family. The mother asked Chu Sui and others to wait outside, and she took the groom in alone.
The first level was Lu Jinyu's test. He asked Chu Xing what tea he liked the most. On the tray the little maid next to him was holding, a bowl of Tieguanyin, a bowl of jasmine tea, and a bowl of Huiming tea. If Chu Xing chose the wrong choice, he had to drink all three bowls. The test was Chu Xing's understanding of the bride, which was much more elegant than drinking.
The little girl looked down and whispered in her mind. Chu Xing smiled slightly, picked up the bowl of Huiming tea and tasted it, and behaved elegantly.
Lu Jinyu let it go in surprise, but she didn't know the past of the two, so she decided that Chu Xing was Meng.
Lu Huaiyu was responsible for the second level. Three boxes of rouge were placed on the tray held by the little maid next to him, namely the fragrance of osmanthus, roses, and plum blossoms. Chu Xing asked Chu Xing to pick out Lu Mingyu's favorite. If you pick the wrong one, you would poke a red dot in the middle of Chu Xing's forehead, just like a little bit of the golden boy and jade girl's forehead in the New Year pictures.
Chu Xing looked down at Yanzhi, recalling the faint fragrance of roses he smelled when he hugged her, he smelled them separately and accurately picked out the roses of Yanzhi.
Lu Huaiyu bit his lip and whispered to him when he let him go, "You must have secretly hugged A Nuan!"
Chu Xing just pretended that he didn't hear it, and he followed his mother to the inner room door happily. After passing this level, he could see the bride.
It is logical that this point should be caused by the bride's sisters, but the third girl Lu Yan is still in filial piety and it is not convenient to attend the wedding banquet. The Lu family invited Lu Mingyu's cousin, Xiao Xuan, the legitimate girl from the Zhuang Prince's Mansion, to come. Influenced by her mother, the prince's concubine, Yu Shi, Xiao Xuan, did not like Lu Mingyu very much, but on the days of her happy days, she still knew how to be sensible. She hid behind the door panel and smiled and asked: "Please use three idioms to praise the bride's beauty."
As soon as the words were finished, the women inside and outside the door chuckled softly.
Brother Nian, Brother Heng, Brother Chong, Brother Ying relied on her young age and finished watching the fun in the front yard. Now she ran over to see the back yard again. When she heard the topic, Brother Heng looked at each other and smiled with a smile. Brother Nian thought about it seriously and said crisply: "The country is beautiful!"
In the morning, he heard his mom praise her sister like this.
In the inner room, Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing, but as soon as the corner of her mouth was raised, she heard a familiar cold voice following her brother: "The country is beautiful."
The tender childish voice made people laugh. If it was Chu Xing's low voice, Lu Mingyu's face suddenly became hot, as if Chu Xing was praising her in her ear.
"Brother Nian, shut up!" Xiao Xuan shouted in anger.
Brother Heng covered his brother's mouth and prevented him from making trouble.
Chu Xing looked at his two brother-in-law, thought for a while, and continued: "High-ceiling, jade-like, jade-like, and fairy-like."
Removed my brother-in-law’s reminder and reported three at once. What’s even more rare is that each of them contains the word “jade”. I don’t know if I happened to think of these, but I deliberately added Lu Mingyu’s “jade”.
The women in the room were a little stunned. The eldest lady reacted first and said happily: "It is said that our fourth aunt is invincible in martial arts. In fact, it should be both civil and military. Look at how good the fourth aunt is to praise people, but it is much better than the ones I think that the moon is ashamed of flowers, and the fish falls and geese falls."
While praising him, he came over to open the door.
The curtain was opened, revealing the tall and upright figure of the groom outside. The bright red wedding dress made his fair face look like a beautiful jade carved, and it was a little more elegant and gentle than usual cold and handsome. Xiao and others had seen Chu Xing, but today was the first time they saw Chu Xing wearing such a beautiful color, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a few moments.
Especially Zhu, she always thought that her son was the most beautiful man in the capital, and her grandson-in-law could only rank second. But at this moment, she was probably flirting with the old and old, so Zhu couldn't help but want to change the position of her son and grandson-in-law. But the next moment, Zhu suddenly realized that this grandson-in-law was too mighty and could almost compete with her husband thirty years ago. Thinking of her cave, the hardship that night of the room, Zhu immediately sweated coldly for her granddaughter.
This man has the benefits of being strong, but it was only the first night...
Zhu looked at his granddaughter with great affection.
Lu Mingyu was already standing up by her husband, and slowly turned around and immediately felt a burning and hot gaze.
It's not because of her grandmother, but because of Chu Xing.
Chu Xing looked at the bride opposite him almost greedily. The big red veil covered her cheeks, and the cumbersome and loose wedding dress covered her slim figure. He could only see that she seemed to have grown taller. Then he thought that it might be because Lu Mingyu wore a phoenix crown, but even if he couldn't see anything, he knew that she was under the veil, so Chu Xing could not suppress the joy in his heart.
The last time I met, I was in Anguo Temple, which has been almost a whole year.
The groom was stunned and the best at raising the atmosphere. The wedding girl, who was the best at raising the atmosphere, immediately smiled and joked: "The Duke of the Kingdom is stunned now? What should I do if I lift the veil at that time? Our bride is a beautiful woman with fairy figure and jade-cut beauty. When she sees her true face, the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom
She was joking about Chu Xing, but Lu Mingyu was about to get burned.
The veil shook slightly, and Chu Xing seemed to see her shyly under the veil. In order to see her earlier, Chu Xing came back to his senses in time and bowed to Zhu and others. Then he followed the greeting girl to the bride and distributed the big red silk ball in his hand to Lu Mingyu, and he led her to say goodbye to Lu Rong and others.
Zhu and Xiao’s mother-in-law took the lead and went to the hall in front to wait.
Facing his grandson-in-law, Lu Zhan looked calm and said concisely: "The reputation of our Lu family's domineering reputation has been spread. Since the Duke of the State dares to marry A Nuan, if he dares to bully A Nuan in the future, don't blame me for being rude."
This was said ruthlessly, and the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant.
Zhu glanced at her husband in displeasure and said softly: "Shijin, A Nuan is a little bitch, you have been spoiled by us at home. Today, my grandmother gave A Nuan to you. I hope you love her as much as we do. If she has any bad things, you should be more considerate when she is young."
Chu Xing knelt in front of the two elders and said solemnly: "Don't worry, grandfather and grandmother, Shi Jing will definitely live up to the high expectations of the two elders."
Zhu nodded repeatedly.
The bride and groom went to say goodbye to Lu Rong and his wife again.
My father had already said harsh words. Lu Rong looked at his son-in-law and said meaningfully: "Shi Jin, you are the god of war in our Daqi and a hero. I believe you will take good care of A Nuan. I just hope that you and your husband will grow old together and have a smooth life."
Xiao's eyes were wet. Thinking of the tragic experience of her daughter in her previous life, she swallowed even more, "Shijin, you must protect A Nuan and take good care of yourself."
Protect her?
Chu Xing's heart sank. Lu Mingyu told his father-in-law and mother-in-law about everything in his previous life, so the two elders specially wished them peace until old age, rather than words like love between husband and wife. Chu Xing died in battle in his previous life, but he never knew what Lu Mingyu encountered after his death. His mother-in-law used the word "protection". Could it be that Lu Mingyu died in that life?
As he was suspicious, Chu Xing looked more and more serious, and he kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shi Jing will stay by A Nuan's side in this life, protect her everything and be happy for the rest of her life." He did not dare to say it too clearly.
But what Lu Rong and his wife want to hear the most is what they want to hear.
Lu Rong stepped forward to help him up, squeezed Chu Xing's shoulder hard, then turned around and walked to his daughter and squatted down, carrying her daughter into the sedan chair. In the small area under the veil, there was suddenly a father's back. Lu Mingyu could no longer hold it back, and tears fell down and hit the ground.
With the help of her mother, she tried hard to straighten her head, slowly lay on her father's back, and hugged her father's shoulders with both hands. She was the father carrying her back in her previous life, but at that time, her father was thin and had no eyes. She misunderstood that her mother was heartbroken by her father, and she didn't even say a word to her father when she got married.
She once hated God for snatching her mother, but now she is grateful to God and gives her the opportunity to make up for her regrets.
"Dad, I'm leaving. You have to take care of your health and don't stay up late to read. One day your eyes are uncomfortable, tell your daughter, I'll come back and massage the acupoints for your father." She lowered her head, and tears fell on her father's broad back. "Dad, my mother has a bad temper. Don't be angry with her anymore. Mom has to take care of Heng Ge'er and others every day, which is very tired... And grandmother, you go with her more when you have time. Grandmother likes her the most, and she will accompany her aunt..."
The thrust and weak voice floated into Lu Rong's ears without a word.
Lu Rong's eyes were sore, and he calmed down for a moment before he said, "Dad knows that A Nuan doesn't have to worry about her family, it's enough to take good care of herself."
Lu Mingyu swallowed even more, "Yes".
Lu Rong looked at the sedan chair in front of him and let his daughter in the moment he let her go, as if he had given up the pearl in his hand that he had been treasured for fifteen years.
The curtains of the sedan chair fell and the wedding team was about to go back.
Lu Rong stared at the man who snatched his daughter, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes: "Remember what you said today."
"I will never forget you forever." Chu Xing said solemnly, and finally bid farewell to the elders of the Lu family. He walked to his Yechen horse and turned over.
The wedding girl walked to the sedan chair and signaled that she could get the sedan chair. She whispered to remind the bride to sit firmly.
As soon as Lu Mingyu finished wiping the corner of her eyes, she held the sedan chair with one hand. When the sedan chair moved, she immediately raised it and pounded gently. After adapting to the bump, Lu Mingyu let go of her hand and unconsciously stroked the red glaze bottle in her arms. In the first half of the way, she felt reluctance to leave her parents' home, and in the second half, Lu Mingyu began to feel nervous.
In the envy of the people, the sedan chair turned into Huarong Lane, which ordinary people were not allowed to enter, and all the living rooms of nobles were homes.
In front of the Duke's mansion, guests from the Chu family stood, from King Qing, King Rui, the third prince, and from Shenshu Camp, the guards who had not entered the imperial guards all looked at the slowly coming wedding team with smiles. Ten miles behind the sedan chair, the red makeup was the pair of jade Ruyi rewarded by Emperor Minghui, which was even more grand than Xiao's marriage to the Lu family.
As the sedan chair landed, Chu Xing gently kicked the door of the sedan chair and picked up the bride.
When they saw the bride, the guests suddenly became noisy. Lu Mingyu was extremely glad to have a veil on his head, and he was less nervous when he could not see anyone. He slowly followed Chu Xing and the newlyweds went to the hall to worship the world. Because of his rebirth, Lu Mingyu was more awe of God. When she worshiped the world, she was extremely pious. It was the couple's turn to worship each other. When he saw Chu Xing's wedding robe opposite, Lu Mingyu became nervous and sweet again.
After worshiping the world, the groom and the bride moved to the new house.
Lu Mingyu nervously clenched the red silk ball in her hand. This was not the first time she came to the Duke of Chu's Mansion, but it was the first time she came to Dingfeng Hall in Chuxing, which was also a place in the Duke of Chu's Mansion that she had never been to in her two lives.
The red silk was moved by her, and Chu Xing felt it. He looked ahead, but his hand gently pulled the joy silk that was being held by the two of them.
An undetectable vibration came, and Lu Mingyuxin shook. Did he do it on purpose?
But Lu Mingyu was embarrassed to test and continued to walk forward honestly.
The more nervous the journey became, the shorter the journey seemed to be. It seemed that after walking a few steps, the group arrived in front of the new house.
Lu Mingyu's heart hit me like a deer, stepped into the main hall, turned into the outer room, and came to the inner room. Looking at the new bed covered with a dragon and phoenix quilt, Lu Mingyu turned around almost stiffly and sat down again. The wedding lady smiled and said some auspicious words, then signaled the maid to bring the golden scale rod over and lift the veil.
The women in the room were all staring at the bride with anticipation.
Lu Mingyu's little hand was hidden in his loose sleeves, and he tightened his tighter. Under the veil, she saw Chu Xing walking over without any rush, stopped, and then a golden scale rod came over. The golden scale rod was very stable and did not shake at all, implying the owner's calmness. Lu Mingyu was confused in an instant. Isn't Chu Xing nervous? Is he as steady as usual during the wedding day? In his previous life, Chu Sui picked up the veil, and the golden scale rod was obviously shaking...
All kinds of thoughts emerged, but before they were left behind, their eyes lit up.
Lu Mingyu instinctively closed her eyes.
As she moved, the golden scale rod that had not left the phoenix crown was stopped after her forehead was lifted.
Chu Xing lowered his head, staring at her without blinking, without even moving his eyelashes.
He hadn't seen her for a year, and when he had been dreaming for a long time, her face was blurred, not like the real ones. So after waking up, he missed her more and more. He didn't feel disappointed in dreaming at night, but he couldn't satisfy him. Today, when he came to the wedding, Chu Xing was fantasizing about the moment he was hiding his veil. He knew that she must be very beautiful, but at this time, the bride sitting in front of him, his bride, was even more beautiful than he thought.
Lu Mingyu's makeup today is not heavy. As my mom said, some people will make their eyebrows more beautiful, and they may even look completely different. However, Lu Mingyu is born with thin eyebrows, red lips, ice skin, and jade bones. Applying her makeup will reduce her luster. Just then, she sat shyly, with her jade-like face floating with peach blossoms because of her shyness. She is naturally beautiful, and is a beauty that no makeup can match.
Perhaps because she felt that the time for her eyes to close was too long, the bride's eyelashes trembled like a butterfly wing, and slowly bloomed like a flash of cereal, lifting up little by little, and plucking up the courage to look at the flower-watcher in front of her. Her eyes looked like peach blossoms, and her eyes were as bright as rain and dew, looking at him timidly, but then she immediately drooped down like the first time she saw a stranger, restraining her most lively beauty, and showing him her cheeks made of petals.
Chu Xing rolled his throat, held the scale rod tightly with his right hand, and then he pressed down the urge to lift her chin with difficulty.
He couldn't see enough and wanted to squat down to look. Princess Qing coughed gently behind him and teased with a smile: "Brother, we have been waiting here for a long time. Do you also show us your sister-in-law?"
"That's right, the Duke can have a good look at it at night. Now let's satisfy our cravings first."
The whole room of women started to joke.
Lu Mingyu's head was lowered, Chu Xing was close, and he saw that the skin at her collar was covered with light pink.
His heart beat faster and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He flexibly raised her veil, and then gave it to one side to show everyone his bride.
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful..." Chu Ying walked to her sister-in-law, her eyes full of surprise.
Lu Mingyu always lowered his eyes and didn't have to pretend. He was already ashamed. Chu Xing alone was enough to make her burn. When drinking Heyan wine, Lu Mingyu didn't dare to look at him, and never wanted to make a joke.
"The Duke's wife raised her arm, and the Duke's wife would almost never reach the wine!"
The voice of the mother was close to her ears, and Lu Mingyu felt panic. She raised her eyes for the first time since Chu Xing sat down. It turned out that because her arms were lowered, Chu Xing's arms were intertwined with her. In order to take care of her, he could only lower his head to drink, but he was too high...
