As a court official, Zhao's father was very popular. When a son of the Zhao family got married, there would be a big deal. Dongfang Qingcang, as Zhao Yichen's first friend since coming to Lucheng in so long, naturally wanted to help organize the wedding.
Meng'an thought that a wealthy family like the Zhao family, which values well-matched families, would look down on her. To her surprise, the Zhao family was very open-minded and did not pay attention to the so-called well-matched families. They only cared about Zhao Yichen's happiness, especially Zhao Yichen's.
Mother, I like Meng'an very much.
The wedding was held as scheduled, and all the prestigious officials from Lucheng came. Zhao's father was an important official in the court and was favored by the emperor. On the day of Zhao Yichen's wedding, although the emperor was busy with everything, the gift arrived. The emperor gave him a gift.
The royal sword and a jade dragon coral bead made other officials envious.
The hall is brilliant and lively. Everyone gathers in the auditorium, waiting for the auspicious time to come.
"An auspicious day brings you a good match. Today is the day when Mr. Zhao will marry Miss Meng'an. We will hold a banquet and invite all relatives and friends to gather together to congratulate the couple on their perfect match!"
"The auspicious time has come! Invite the groom!"
Zhao Yichen came to the main hall surrounded by his attendants
"Please ask the groom to bow to all relatives and friends!"
Zhao Yichen obediently saluted everyone
"The auspicious time has arrived! Please invite the groom to welcome the bride!"
Zhao Yichen turned around and came to the door. Meng'an handed out the red silk in her hand, and Zhao Yichen took the other end.
"A thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thin thread, and a single piece of red silk seals three lives. Invite the bride and groom into the auditorium!"
In the middle of the auditorium, there is a saddle
"A piece of sandalwood is carved into a jade saddle. Please ask the bride to step on the saddle to ensure safety every step of the way."
Meng'an crossed the saddle amidst applause
"The bride and groom are happily married. The two families have become a good couple of Qin and Jin. Please invite them to the wedding hall."
"Please face your relatives and friends."
"I bow to heaven and earth, thank you for your marriage, and bow!"
"Second bow to Gaotang. I am grateful for Gaotang's upbringing. I respect Gaotang and take care of him until he is old. Thank you!"
"Husband and wife pay homage to each other. After a hundred years of cultivation, they can cross the same boat. After a thousand years of cultivation, they can sleep together on the same pillow. Mandarin ducks fly together and the husband and wife are of the same mind. When the husband sings and the wife follows him, he will have a son soon. Thank you!"
"The ceremony is over! Please read the gift list!"
"Prime Minister Zhang, a pair of red gold longevity locks and a pair of gilt jade bracelets!"
"Master Li of the Li Mansion, a glass cup and a carved Yunxia porcelain!"
"My lord, the magistrate of Lucheng, I have two jade handles and twenty horses!"
"Young Master of Dali Temple, I have a black bamboo flute and a set of enamel plates with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious shapes!"
"Outside of Dongfang Mansion, I have one Nanhai Night Pearl, ten thousand taels of silver, twenty pieces of jade, two gold and silver tea cans each, an emerald hairpin, and some silks and satins!"
…
"Young Dongfang Yuanwai is so generous"
"Yes, he is handsome and young and promising. The wife of a member of the Communist Party of China will be very lucky in the future!"
"What are you talking about? The member is already married."
"How could it be possible? Dongfang Yuan doesn't look like he's getting married."
…
Dongfang Qingcang walked towards Xiaolanhua who was chatting with Meng'an amidst everyone's discussion.
"Why are you here? Aren't you waiting over there for a toast?" Xiao Lanhua glanced at Dongfang Qingcang
"Drinking is harmful to your health. Madam, it's better to drink less." After saying this, she took the wine glass in Xiao Lanhua's hand and drank the wine in one gulp.
Looking at Dongfang Qingcang and Xiao Lanhua, everyone sighed that the relationship between the officer and his wife was better.
At nightfall, all the guests dispersed, and Dongfang Qingcang and his party also returned to the house. Xiaolanhua looked at the fate poem and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhao Yichen's life is really miserable. He has not lived these happy days for a few days."
"After all, I am the King of Heaven. It is always good to experience more."
