"Miss, lift your feet and step over the brazier." Xi Niang reminded Ruyi in her ear. Ruyi was surrounded in the middle and could not escape. She could only lift her feet and step over the brazier.
The back of Ruyi's wedding dress was too long, and it burned when it touched the brazier.
It took a lot of effort by the ladies to extinguish the small flames that had been lit.
"Hee hee, look, the bride is so stupid! Her clothes were even burned by the fire!" Several children from the husband's relatives were watching the fun at the door. Seeing Ruyi making a fool of himself, they all started laughing and laughing.
Someone looked like an aunt, grabbed two handfuls of candies, threw them on the ground, and said, "Go, go, kids, don't make trouble, go and play."
"Oh! There are candies to eat! Let's see who picks up more!" The children were easy to fool, and they dispersed in a hurry to pick up the candies.
Strange to say, as long as Ruyi did not resist and did not think about telling the truth, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed and the warm sun appeared again.
After crossing the brazier, the eldest bride covered her mouth and let out a cry. The bride was so weird from the beginning that she even forgot to ask the groom to kick the sedan door.
The so-called "kicking the sedan door" means that when the new daughter-in-law arrives in front of her husband's house, the groom kicks it inward, and then the bride kicks it from the inside out. The groom's kick is to establish his authority and remind the bride that he is about to leave.
When you become a woman, you should no longer act like a young lady. You should be filial to your parents-in-law, respect your husband, and kick each other's sedan doors. There is also a saying that "men should not be afraid of their wives, and women should not show weakness."
Xiniang apologized to her husband's aunt and said, "It's all my fault for being negligent, but I forgot about kicking the sedan door. Otherwise... how about we do it again?"
The aunt waved her hands repeatedly and said, "How can that be done? There is no way to send the new daughter-in-law back after getting off the sedan chair. It would be bad if she misses the auspicious time to worship the bride."
Xi Niang took Ru Yi's hand and handed her hand to another person's hand.
Ruyi felt that this person's palm was generous, but it was extremely cold. Even if they held hands, there was no warmth at all.
Could it be that the person holding hands with her at this moment is the groom?
Before Ruyi had time to think too much, her heartbeat suddenly picked up again, and her body was actually shy again.
As soon as her little hand was placed on top of her big hand, the other party couldn't wait to pull her wrist over and clamp it under her arm.
Some people watching the excitement said: "Look at how loving the bride and groom are."
But this is not the case in Ruyi's view.
The groom's hands were very strong, and he almost pulled off a layer of skin on Ruyi's wrist. His movements were simple and rough.
Ruyi vaguely felt that if the groom cared for the bride even a little bit, he would definitely not use such force. The love from his wife that he finally got is not enough, how could he be so ignorant of propriety.
The groom's behavior aroused Ruyi's curiosity. What are the backgrounds of these two families? Who is the bride and who is the groom? What is the story between them?
More importantly, why is he in the bride's body?
How can she escape?
After the wedding team received the bride, Ruyi was being dragged along all the time. The situation was very chaotic. The bride was given a toast and sent to the bridal chamber almost in one go.
By the time Ruyi reacted, she had already been pushed into the new house.
On the wedding night, the bride does not appear in public. After bowing to the guests, she has to wait for her husband in the bridal chamber.
