Chapter 8 Wedding 2

Only when the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, Zi Luo was shocked and couldn't help looking out the door. The noisy and laughing sound was getting closer and closer, until he saw a faint red look.

"Everyone let me give in, the bride and groom are going to enter the house." The butler shouted at the top of his voice.

The groom was wearing a red robe, embroidered with golden silk patterns, and a red silk face full of spring breeze. He was holding a piece of red silk. The jade hands at the end were slender and white. He was the bride, who was also wearing a red dress, with a red veil on his head, and a golden lotus step. There were two little maids next to him to support him. They walked to the center of the house and stood still.

"Okay, everyone, calm down, the bride and groom are about to hold a ceremony."

The butler cleared his throat and shouted, "One worships heaven and earth, two worships ancestors, three worships parents, and the couple worships each other."

The two of them bowed to each other in accordance with the voice of the butler. Then the groom pulled the bride and knelt carefully in front of Master Zhao to serve tea.

"Dad, please have tea." The bride's voice was as melodious as a nightingale.

Mr. Zhao nodded, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He took a teacup and took a sip, put it on the table, took out a red paper bag from his arms and handed it to the bride. Because he put the head cover, the groom guided him.

Zi Luo couldn't help but look straight at me. What kind of happiness would it be when he could be a bride again?

The onlookers were excitedly shouting: "Enter the bridal chamber, enter the bridal chamber."

The bride gave tea to the eldest and third ladies again, and then followed the groom out of the main house during the butler's mutual gift.

Time passed without realizing it. After the newcomers left, it was already noon. Everyone came to the yard one after another, and the tables were filled with delicacies.

The man and the man are at the same table, the woman and the woman are at the same table. The third lady's table is all concubines in each mansion. Each of them is young and beautiful, dressed up in a shiny manner, and they are laughing while eating. The table next to them is full of the main rooms, each of whom is dignified and elegant, and she can't laugh. She just chatted a few words before the meal, and she really did not speak.

Naturally, the maids like Ziluo and Lan Yu were unable to eat now. Zhuier and Lan Yu served the wife on both sides to eat. Ziluo and Shuangyue brought a kettle and tea cup, and the other one brought a basin. There was a small towel on the basin and stood behind so that the wife could rinse her mouth after eating.

Zi Luo looked at the delicious food on the table and swallowed her saliva. Fortunately, the sound from the stage not far away distracted her attention and did not stand there and swallow her saliva dumbly.

Looking in the sound, I saw a group of actors wearing heavy makeup standing in the center of the stage, posing and singing.

Zi Luo doesn't like watching operas very much, but I heard that Peony, the top dancer in the Yanyu Tower in Beijing, was invited today. She was unparalleled in beauty and danced beautifully, so she looked at the stage from time to time.

It is said that she is the youngest daughter of Lord Sun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The whole family was exiled because Lord Sun committed corruption two years ago. The youngest daughter was ordered by the Queen Mother to be a geisha as a geisha, selling her arts but not for her.

The whole family was exiled, and the youngest daughter was not exiled. Zi Luo heard the folk rumors that she was going to marry into the palace and marry the emperor, but because the emperor had just ascended the throne, the empress dowager's power was still strong. After Lord Sun's accident, although the emperor tried his best to protect the lady, he was still caught by the empress dowager and sent to Yanyu Tower.

Zi Luo thought about it and shook his head inadvertently, sighing at the tragic ups and downs of Mudan's life experience.

At this time, the groom had already come out to stay at each table to toast. At this time, he was standing at the table of the eldest lady. Zi Luo noticed the appearance of the eldest lady. He had a very similar face to the eldest lady, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure and a dignified appearance.

At the end of the play, the third lady in front of her had already finished her meal. When she heard the music, she couldn't help but look back. She probably wanted to see the famous geisha among the world.

As the melodious music came into his ears, no matter who was standing, they looked up at the stage. A group of graceful women wearing pink gauze skirts twisted their slender waists and appeared in the center of the stage. The women in the center of the group were wearing yellow gauze skirts, half a head higher than the others, with a few hairpins of small daisies on their heads, and jade ball earrings hung on their ears. The light makeup seemed to have a sense of beauty that emanated from the inside out. They were really in the mud and were not stained with dust.

Zi Luo couldn't help but see it in a daze. His limbs were slender and his skin was as white as fat. Because of his small face, his eyes looked very big. His eyelashes cast a shadow on his face. His nose was slender and his rosy lips as cherry-like were not moving, but he seemed to tell a moving story.

Whether it is a master, a young man, an old woman, a handsome girl, they all look at her, either admire, envy, or jealous, or have bad intentions.

Zi Luo accidentally saw Chu Qing near the table. Her eyes wandered between Mudan and the second young master not far away. She was probably the only one who was absent-minded in the audience, so that when she poured water for the eldest lady, she almost spilled it out, even Zi Luo was sweating for her.

After the dance, everyone started to ask Peony to dance for another part. But after Miss Peony bowed down and bowed, she walked off the stage without looking back. Zi Luo was a little impressed by this ignoring the powerful.

"Sanniang, Qingxuan wishes you a cup." The eldest son's voice brought Zi Luo back to reality from his own small world. The third wife raised her head and drank it all. The actor's yin and yang ceased again came from the stage.

"The Queen Mother's decree is here." Suddenly, a sharp voice pierced into his ears, and a skinny eunuch appeared in front of him.

"My minister, Zhao Shi received the order." Mr. Zhao ran to the eunuch and knelt down and said. Everyone also knelt down.

"The Queen Mother's decree is passed on. Today, the Prince of Zhao's Mansion is married. The Ai family sends a gift to wish the newlyweds respect each other and to be old." After reading the Queen Mother's decree, the eunuch looked at the little eunuchs behind him. So the eunuchs came forward with trays, with various colors of jewelry on it, which was very dazzling.

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Mr. Zhao kowtowed and thanked him.

"It's not too late for Eunuch Wang to sit down and have a drink before going back." Mr. Zhao smiled all over his face.

"No need, the Empress Dowager is still waiting to go back and reply to the imperial edict. Congratulations to Lord Zhao, I will go back first."

"I'll go see Eunuch Wang off." The eldest son Zhao Qingxuan said, and then left behind Eunuch Wang.

After Eunuch Wang left, the onlookers began to whisper, "It's really a celebrity around the Empress Dowager", "Even the Empress Dowager comes to send gifts", "I must not offend Lord Zhao."

"Everyone should continue to eat and drink, and don't return until you get drunk." Mr. Zhao shouted excitedly.

The operas on the stage started to play again, and people returned to their seats, feasted, their faces flushed, and the stars were flying all over the sky. Who was bragging and who was listening.

"Shuangyue, Ziluo." Zhu'er turned his head and looked at them. The two immediately realized that it was the third wife who had finished her meal, so they stepped forward to bring the mouthwash and a basin.

Hope everyone likes it!!!
