Chapter 436 Getting married
[Attention treasures, if you feel that the connection is not connected, read the first two chapters first. In response to the strong suggestions of treasures, we decided to postpone the reincarnation plot and finish it first. 】
After sending Mr. Wen and Wen Hengyin away, Yingbao lay down at home as expected.
She and Wei Zhan missed their wedding date, and since they could not marry in the Five Poison Months, the Wei family and the Jiang family agreed to simply set the wedding date in June.
In June, not only Ying Bao will get married, but Jiang Jie will also marry Luo Zhao on the same day.
In this way, others will only take one of the gifts, and the Jiang family and the Wei family will be able to save their face.
A few days later, the emperor named his son, who had been a few months old, as King of Chu, and granted him a general amnesty. At the same time, he named the King of Chu's mother, Concubine Lu Xian, as a noble concubine.
Now, all the officials in the capital went to the Lu family to congratulate them, and the Jiang family was no exception.
Ying Bao didn't care about these things and left them all to his younger brother Jiang Jie.
At home, she packed the large gourd Wudingzhi that she had given to her father in exquisite and small jade boxes.
It's said to be a jade box, but it's just a palm-sized box made of white marble, and it's very cheap.
Put Wuding Zhi inside and it will keep it from drying out for a long time.
While Yingbao was dealing with Wudingzhi, Xuanwu sneaked out, pretended to look around, and then quietly slipped a handful of Wudingzhi into its turtle shell.
Ying Bao didn't pay attention and continued to do her own thing. When she looked up, she saw her second cousin had arrived at some time and was talking to Mei Xiang outside. She also secretly stuffed something into Mei Xiang.
Mei Xiang took the things, her face turned red, and she turned back to the house.
Ying Bao saw her second cousin looking at Mei Xiang for a long time, then turned around and left.
The next day, Ying Bao saw a green jade hairpin inserted into Mei Xiang's bun.
Ying Bao frowned and called her second cousin the next day. "Second brother, are you planning to marry Mei Xiang?"
Jiang Quan was stunned by what his little cousin said, but he immediately realized it and nodded quickly: "Yes, I, I do want to marry her."
"Then does she also like you?"
Jiang Quan scratched his head: "Probably so."
"In that case, why don't you propose to marry me directly?" Yingbao looked at her second cousin: "You are already the eldest, what are you waiting for?"
Jiang Quan felt coy: "That's because Mei Xiang is your maid, and I'm a little embarrassed."
Wouldn't it be shameful if someone knew that he coveted the girl in his cousin's room?
Ying Bao: "Although Mei Xiang is a palace maid, she is also a daughter of a good family. Her grandfather was also a scholar. It would be good for you to marry her."
Moreover, Mei Xiang is literate and stable, so she is a perfect match for her second cousin.
Jiang Quan grinned and said sheepishly: "Yingbao, if I marry her, you won't be short of someone by your side."
Ying Bao said angrily: "According to your wishes, all the maids around me should be old maids."
Jiang Quan scratched his head: "Okay, I, I will go and ask Mei Xiang now if she is willing to marry me."
The answer is obvious, Mei Xiang also likes Jiang Quan very much.
So Jiang Quan went to the official media, chose a good day, and got engaged to Mei Xiang.
After this incident, several older maids around Ying Bao suddenly found someone they liked.
Wei Xiuxiu married her younger brother Jiang Jie's official slave.
He Xiang and Qiu Xiang also became friends with the two guards of the County Lord's Mansion.
There are only three orchids and wood dans and apricot flowers, but no one I like.
Ying Bao simply asked them all to set a date and prepare to get married.
She also gave each person a sum of money to help them buy their wedding items.
Five months later, Ying Bao got married again.
This time it was relatively smooth and there were no surprises along the way.
First, Jiang Jie carried his sister on the sedan chair, and then, together with his younger brother Jiang Wu and Hu Zi, sent the Ying Bao to the Wei family.
The door of Wei's house was open, and a red carpet was spread from outside to inside.
Wei Zhan dismounted, and immediately a young boy wearing a red belt came over to take the reins.
He walked to the eight-carriage wedding sedan, took the bow and arrow from the matchmaker, and shot the sedan door with a headless feather arrow.
The sedan door opened, and the accompanying maid stepped forward to help him.
The bride is wearing a green brocade robe with three golden-winged phoenixes embroidered on it.
She wears a crown of jade beads on her head, with four golden phoenix beads on both sides of her bun. A curtain of pearls hangs from her forehead, just below her nose.
Even the gold and jade necklace she wore on her chest was valuable.
Mu Dan and Lan Xiang supported Ying Bao, and there were two little girls behind them protecting their master's long dress to prevent it from getting scratched.
The newlyweds step over the brazier and enter the main hall.
In the flower hall, candles are brightly lit on the incense table, and sandalwood is curling up. There are also whole grains, longans, red dates, etc. on it. Every utensil has a red double happiness sticker on it.
Just listen to the master of ceremonies chant auspicious words loudly:
"Auspicious and auspicious days are full of joy. Congratulations to the newlyweds as they enter the main hall. The next week's public ceremony is performed in front of the hall. Three chapters of singing and dancing are performed in front of the steps. A pair of beaded photos are paired. The newlyweds are in pairs. Good flowers are blooming in the same tree. Good people are cultivating in the house. The groom The romance is so suave, the bride is beautiful, virtuous and dignified. I don’t envy gods or immortals, but I envy the good mandarin ducks in the world.”
Wei Zhan turned to look at Ying Bao beside him, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
Then, the emcee started singing again:
"I pray to heaven and earth for marriage."
Under the guidance of Xipo, the two of them knelt down and worshiped the sacred tablet on the incense table.
"The second time I pay my respects to my parents in the high hall"
Wei Zhan and Yingbao came to the head of the Wei family and Mrs. Wang and knelt down to worship.
"The couple bows to each other and becomes a couple"
Wei Zhan and Ying Bao faced each other and worshiped each other.
"The ceremony is completed! Congratulations to the newlyweds on entering the bridal chamber."
As the master of ceremonies sang the report, Xi Po brought a red silk, handed one end to Wei Zhan, and stuffed the other end into Ying Bao's hand.
Wei Zhan held the red silk and walked back to the new house step by step.
When they arrived at the new house, Xi Po asked the newlyweds to sit cross-legged facing each other on the wedding bed.
Then Grandma Quanfu brought the red scale beam and handed it to Wei Zhan, asking him to remove the red silk ribbon from the bride's head.
Xi Po was singing and reciting Datong's congratulations:
"The little weighing pole is black and oily. Come and pick a hijab for the bride. Thousands of yarns will be removed from the hijab. I will be a daughter-in-law first and then the head of the family. It is more virtuous to be a daughter-in-law first and then a mother-in-law. I will have many children and grandchildren. When the weighing pole falls, I will buy land. The whole house is full of children and grandchildren when the weighing pole is placed against the wall. .”
Next, the newlyweds drank Hexin wine and ate dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
After all the rituals were completed, Grandma Xi and Grandma Quanfu pulled the maids out of the new house and closed the door.
"Are you tired? Let me help you take off the crown."
When Wei Zhan saw Ying Bao nodding, he reached out and carefully took off the crown on her head, and also took off the long step.
Then, he looked at her and smiled stupidly.
Ying Bao's face turned red when he looked at her, and her mind suddenly recalled the fire avoidance plan given by her mother-in-law.
"I-I'll get you some water."
Wei Zhan was also embarrassed and quickly got out of bed to pour water.
Seeing that there were still snacks on the table, he took a piece of each and said, "Here, this is made fresh by grandma. You put it on the table first, and I will ask for a bowl of noodles later."
"No need." Ying Bao took the snack, held it in one hand and put it in his mouth with the other.
Wei Zhan was afraid that his wife would choke, so he picked up a teacup and fed her some water.
Yingbao ate two pieces of snacks, thought about it, pinched another piece and stuffed it into Wei Zhan's mouth, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Wei Zhan blushed, shook his head repeatedly, and nodded quickly. "I'll just have some snacks too."
"Don't you even have to go out to toast?" Ying Bao asked curiously.
She remembered that the first cousin always sent the bride into the bridal chamber first, and then went to toast her with a round of wine.
Wei Zhan: "No, my parents are taking care of me outside. I, I just stay with you."
Yingbao looked out the window and saw that it was not dark yet, so she said, "How about we play some games first."
Wei Zhan almost dropped the teacup in his hand and stammered: "It's still early now, wait a moment. Wait until all the guests outside have left." (End of Chapter)
