Chapter 14: The Chapel (Acknowledgments)
The fireworks in the air are still exploding, one after another, as if endless, under the reflection of the clouds, the wedding procession walking on the street is so gorgeous.
"I thought that when Maoyuan Mountain was buried, it was already the best daytime fireworks, but I didn't expect it to be more beautiful!"
"Is this called blue out of blue and better than blue?"
"It's right to say that famous teachers produce high apprentices."
The streets were crowded, laughing, shouting, and screaming, and the children were held on their shoulders, holding up their fingers and pointing at the fireworks in the sky.
It was not until the end of the road that the fireworks were set off that they saw it.
The guys of the Li family's fireworks were busy, and Li Mao, who was dressed in new robes, looked at the people and horses who came over and bowed.
"Master Lee." In the pick-up procession, someone couldn't help but lean in and ask, "Are these fireworks new from your Li family's shop?" ”
"Yes." Li Mao said.
This kind of fireworks that can be brilliant and colorful in the day has never been seen before, and presumably before the end of the wedding, the Li family's fireworks shop can be squeezed out.
But....
A person suddenly thought of something, and his brow furrowed.
"It can't be the only one and not sold to the public, right?" He blurted out.
Li Mao smiled slightly.
"Yes." He said, "It's a gift for Master's marriage. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who heard them all around let out a lament, and those who did not hear it also heard the lamentation and hurriedly inquired about it, and the lamentation spread out like a wave.
"Again!"
"Sure enough, what kind of master teaches what kind of disciples, how can they get these good things out, but they don't sell them!"
"Arouse people's cravings. But I can't see or touch it. I can only taste it in my dreams! ”
In the noise around him, Li Mao's expression remained unchanged. With a smile and a smile, the sedan chair and the dowry slowly passed, but the fireworks in the sky still did not disperse.
On a small teahouse facing the street, Gao Lingbo retracted his gaze, and his expression was a little complicated under the reflection of fireworks.
"It's a pity." He muttered.
"It's just a pity, it's a pity that it still made her stand out."
Gao Xiaoguan nodded and said on the side, looking downstairs. The crowd had already poured away with the wedding procession, but the people on the street downstairs had not decreased, talking and laughing excitedly.
Seeing such a scene, the senior and junior officials were very angry and snorted.
"Putting on such a big scene and inviting so many people, I don't know if 50,000 is enough."
After speaking, he looked up at his father and saw that his father was also looking at him, but his expression was a little strange.
"Father?" He asked.
It's a pity that it was a step late, if I had seen this lady earlier, maybe it would have been their Gao family who had married today.
Gao Lingbo exhaled. Looking out the window in the direction of the county king's mansion, the team of greeting relatives has already entered the mansion.
That's it. When the dust settles, you can't get out if you go in.
"It's a pity." Gao Lingbo sighed again.
It's a pity that such an amazing talent, if they had met one step earlier and were honest and fair, he believed that this woman would definitely marry into their Gao family.
No, it's not a pity.
One wrong step, but never one wrong step.
It is precisely because she is an amazing talent that she can't be a pity.
"Is it all arranged?" Gao Lingbo asked.
Gao Xiaoguan nodded hurriedly, and Gao Lingbo looked up at the fireworks that were still being set off.
"Fireworks are gorgeous, but they don't last long." He said with a bit of a sigh.
Entering the county king's mansion, the hustle and bustle of the outside world is isolated, but the mansion is also very lively, and everyone is talking about what they saw on the road.
"....It's so lively....it's not the same excitement as it used to be..."
“… At that time, when I saw the people on both sides of the street start to write, I got goosebumps, and somehow remembered that the sage Confucius walked seventy-two disciples..."
“… What nonsense are you talking about, if you want to, you should also think of Lao Tzu riding a bull into the customs..."
"Shhhhh
“… There's no way to pass it in, and we didn't arrange it..."
There was a lot of discussion on all sides, but these words did not have the slightest pride in the ears of the Cheng family, but became more and more irritable.
"What the hell is going on!"
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but be annoyed anymore, and looked at the Quanfu people here and asked in a low voice.
"How can the bride be waiting in the sedan chair?"
Quanfu people naturally knew Mrs. Chen, and they were a little embarrassed when they heard this.
"I don't know, I'll ask again." She whispered, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have taken this errand, but what if she didn't?
Chen Shao can disobey the Queen Mother, she doesn't dare.
Quanfu hurried to the backyard, but was stopped by two guards before he could enter the door.
"I'm tired of asking the chief manager, the princess has arrived... Why don't you visit the church? She had to stand outside the courtyard gate and ask.
The attendants who were in charge outside were suddenly called away, and they only said to wait for a while, and threw a group of people standing in the courtyard stupidly.
It's also a loss to the royal family, if this is left in someone else's house, the husband's family dares to treat it so slowly, and the woman can lift the sedan chair and leave.
However, even if it is a royal family, in doing so, an important minister like Chen Shao dares to immediately lift the sedan chair and leave, and then go to the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation.
It's just that now this Cheng Niangzi...
Although Mrs. Chen is a send-off, she is not surnamed Chen.
Quanfu people were thinking wildly, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in front of them, and when they raised their heads, they couldn't help but look stunned and wide-eyed.
This... This...

"Can't find the rooster?"
Banqin heard a servant woman beside her whisper, she couldn't help frowning, and turned her head to glare at the servant woman.
The king of Jin'an was seriously ill and couldn't get up, so he was replaced by someone to greet his relatives, and the worship hall naturally had to be replaced by someone holding a rooster.
This is not a glorious thing, and Chongxi is a humiliation for the bride.
"We will do whatever they want." She whispered.
The servant girl smiled lowly.
"Why is Sister Banqin so calm all of a sudden?" She quipped under her breath.
Banqin raised her head and stood straight.
"There's nothing to be afraid of." She said.
As the lady said, the days, how do you know whether it is good or bad.
When not going out. I didn't know that there were so many people who came to marry the lady. The worry, the fear, the sadness, the bleak and shabby scene were not at all.
Right now. I haven't visited the church yet, so I don't have to be afraid at all, who knows what will happen in the next moment......
This thought flashed, and there was a commotion in front of him, and Banqin subconsciously looked over and was immediately stunned.
This... This...
The maid was making fun of Banqin, and suddenly saw Banqin, who had been solemn with an unprecedented solemn expression, suddenly changed her face, and stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. Tears suddenly flooded his face again.
What's going on here?
The maid wanted to laugh, but subconsciously looked over with Banqin's gaze, and was suddenly stunned.
This! This!
…………………………………………….
The whispering outside was noisy, Cheng Jianniang in the sedan chair didn't care, sitting was not a difficult thing for her, but a very accustomed thing.
Even if she sits like this for a day, she'll be fine.
But at this time, it was really impossible to let her sit for a day, and there was an exaggerated shout from the bride outside.
"The bride is out of the sedan chair."
The palanquin was slightly pressed down, and a strange woman's hand reached out to support her.
The hijab obscured the view in all directions, but not under the feet. Cheng Jianniang looked at her feet and raised her feet to take a step.
After getting off the sedan chair, the noise around it was much smaller.
The red carpet continues all the way to the sedan chair. The red dress, the evening sun is red, Cheng Jianniang didn't close her eyes, she just looked at it.
A red ribbon was handed over, Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand to catch it, as if waiting for a moment, the ribbon came with a slight touch of the person in front of her, Quanfu people made a reminder, Cheng Jianniang took a steady step, steadily stepped through the saddle, and entered the hall.
The hall was even quieter, if it weren't for the chaotic breathing and the slight sound of the clothes shaking, it would be suspected that there was no one in the hall.
Someone stood beside her, and from this distance she could see the corner of the same red dress.
"Worship heaven and earth..."
The long, high-pitched voice of the master of ceremonies echoed through the hall.
Cheng Jianniang straightened her gaze and bent her head.
I worship heaven and earth.
"Two worship high halls..."
Cheng Jianniang bent down again and bowed her head.
I worship my father and mother.
"Husband and wife worship each other...."
The corners of his clothes slowly retreated.
Xi Niang helped her turn around.
Cheng Jianniang bent down and bowed her head.
I'm a husband.
The red silk in her hand moved slightly again, and with the shout of the master of ceremonies sent into the cave room, Cheng Jianniang raised her feet and walked.
A cacophony of footsteps followed, and it seemed that many people followed.
The new house is not too far away, and it will soon be indoors.
There are more hairpin rings in the room, and the aroma of fat powder is stronger.
Naturally, the women who went into the new house to watch the ceremony.
Sitting down on the bed, Cheng Jianniang could hear the whispers around her, and it was supposed to be time to lift her hijab, but Yiqiē seemed to pause again.
However, since the groom cannot attend the wedding, is it okay to lift the hijab?
Cheng Jianniang's thoughts flashed, and she felt that her eyes suddenly lit up, and her hijab was picked off.
The sun has set, the sky is still bright in the summer, the house is lit up, and there are some light and dark alternating lights in the vision, and it is even a piece of pearl ring jade and jade splendor.
"Oh, the bride is so beautiful."
The ears suddenly became lively, the whispers disappeared, and the warblers and swallows came like a tide.
Cheng Jianniang met the sight of these curious visitors, and gradually adapted to the light in the room, and the people and furnishings in front of her became clear.
Her gaze fell on her side, first at the corner of Shicai's dress, then at the black jade belt, the silver pick in her hand hanging by her side, and then with a familiar and unfamiliar face.
Cheng Jianniang couldn't help but be stunned.
The figure looks thinner, but the posture is straight.
Because he has lost weight, the edges and corners are more distinct, because his face is dark and yellow, and his eyes are deeper.
Seeing her look over, the expression of the King of Jin'an County did not change, he just looked at her.
The sound of conversation in the room seemed to dissipate in an instant between the two of them.
How... Is it all him?
It's him.
