Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Wedding Begins
"Yan'er, have you rested?" Cai Mansion, Cai Yong stood in front of Cai Yan's door and asked softly.
"Daddy, I haven't slept yet." Cai Yan opened the door and said to his father.
"Yan'er, you're going to get married tomorrow. Now I think back to the scene when you were a child, and I still remember it vividly, as if it was just yesterday, and before you knew it, you would grow up and be married soon. Cai Yong lovingly stroked his daughter's head.
"Daddy." Cai Yan cried and threw herself into Cai Yong's arms.
"Okay, I'm going to be a bride soon, why are you still crying and crying, be happy." Cai Yong comforted.
"Daddy, my daughter can't bear to be daddy."
"Daddy can't bear his daughter, but his daughter will get married sooner or later when she grows up." Cai Yong was suddenly a little reluctant, and his daughter, who had been dependent on him since childhood, was about to become someone else's family. The scene when her daughter pounced on herself when she was a child seemed to be just yesterday, Cai Yong took her daughter's hand and sat down at the table.
"Tomorrow you will get married, don't be so willful as at home in the future. In everything, you must listen to the words of your elders and honor your parents-in-law, don't play a little temper to make Tang Zheng embarrassed. ”
"Yes, I know Daddy. By the way, Daddy, Brother Zheng plans to take you to Rinshan together after we get married. ”
"Oh, to Rinyama? What am I going to Rinyama for? ”
"Isn't Daddy going?"
"I'm old, I've been in Luoyang all my life, and I've had ups and downs as an official. Now that people are old, they can see it, and now I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay in Luoyang to accompany your mother. If we all leave, leaving your mother alone in Luoyang, I don't worry. ”
"Daddy, you can't bear to leave your daughter alone? Brother Zheng said that if the situation is turbulent today, great changes are imminent, and staying in Luoyang may cause trouble. Please also ask Daddy to follow us to Rinkan. ”
"Tang Zheng really said that? What else did he say? Cai Yong also wanted to know what Tang Zheng said to Cai Yan, so he asked Cai Yan.
"Daddy, Brother Zheng said that if the disaster is everywhere today, the people are all over the place, the people are not happy, and the big tree of Dahan is like an old man who is about to fall. At that time, the entire Luoyang will become the land of the four wars, and the careerists of the world will also flock to Luoyang. It will not be safe for Daddy to stay in Luoyang when he arrives! ”
"Tang Zheng really said that?"
"Yes, yes Daddy. So Brother Zheng asked me to persuade my father to move to Rinshan, and Daddy, you can't bear to watch your daughter go to such a far place alone? ”
"Daddy can't bear you, but Daddy can't bear this homeland when he's old."
"Daddy, you can go to Rinshan with us first, and when the situation stabilizes, we won't be too late to return to Luoyang. Besides, Brother Zheng still has a lot of things to ask his father to help with. ”
"I think your last sentence is Tang Zheng's original intention."
"No, Daddy, I said this last sentence. Brother Zheng didn't say that. ”
"You, you, before you got married, you turned your elbow outward to beat your father's idea. Well, you make me think again. It's not early, you have a rest first, and you're going to be a bride tomorrow. After speaking, Cai Yong was ready to get up and leave.
"Well, Daddy, you should rest early." Cai Yan sent his father out of the door and watched his father leave before closing the door and returning to the bed to lie down. Thinking that he would become Brother Zheng's wife tomorrow, Cai Yan felt a little excited but more shy. Cai Yan lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and he didn't know how he fell asleep.
"Zheng'er, are you up?" Early the next morning, Tang's mother came to Tang Zheng's room and asked inside.
"Mother, I'm already up." After speaking, Tang Zheng opened the door.
"Well, it's not too early, you go and prepare. I'll have to go to Cai's house to pick up Yan'er in a while, I've already asked someone to bring your clothes and change them quickly. After Tang's mother finished speaking, she handed the groom's clothes to Tang Zheng.
"Mother, there's no need to be in such a hurry!"
"Earlier, you don't look at what time it is. Hurry up and change it, and you will have to go with your father to comfort your ancestors and ancestors in a while. "In this era, men had to offer incense to their ancestors before they got married, which meant telling them that they would have to add people to their homes. Pray that the ancestors and the ancestors will bless the prosperity of their descendants.
"Oh, then I'll go and change." Seeing that he couldn't screw his mother, Tang Zheng had no choice but to agree.
Tang Zheng took the clothes and was about to go back to the room to change them, but when he saw his mother's big hand, a group of maids and mothers-in-law flocked to Tang Zheng's room.
"Alright, let's go change your clothes. They're all here to help you get dressed, so don't be stupid and get in. Looking at Tang Zheng who was stunned, Tang Mu said to him.
By the time Tang Zheng was busy with everything, it was not too early, and then Tang Zheng rode towards Cai's house under the urging of everyone.
Today, the street from Tang Zheng's house to Cai's house is crowded with people, all of whom come to see the excitement. No matter whether they know or not, they all congratulated Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng also responded with fists to express his gratitude. From the Tang family to the Cai family, this long street of less than a mile, Tang Zheng walked for more than half an hour.
When she came to the gate of Cai's mansion, the maid guarding the door saw the arrival of the welcoming team from a distance and hurriedly ran towards the house, and shouted as she ran: "Miss, my uncle's welcoming team is here." Suddenly, the entire Cai Mansion was jumping with chickens and dogs.
"Well, Yan'er doesn't cry. Today is your big day, and no matter how bitter it is, it will be unlucky. Cai Yong comforted Cai Yan who was crying.
"Dad, my daughter can't bear to be Dad." Cai Yan threw herself into Cai Yong's arms and cried.
"Silly boy, it's not that far away. Okay, let's go. If it's too late, the auspicious time will be delayed. After speaking, Cai Yong took Cai Yan's hand and went out.
When getting married, the woman usually has her own brother or younger brother to hand over to her future husband. But Cai Yan had no brothers and sisters, so Cai Yong had to hand it over to Tang Zheng in person.
At this time, Tang Zheng had already come to Cai's mansion, watching Cai Yong lead Cai Yan out, Tang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and gave Cai Yong a big salute and said, "My son-in-law has seen Lord Taishan." ”
Cai Yong nodded, handed Cai Yan's hand to Tang Zheng and said, "I am such a daughter, I will hand it over to you in the future." She has been spoiled by me since she was a child at home, and I hope that you as a husband will be more tolerant of what's wrong. I hope you will treat her well in the future. ”
"Lord Taishan, rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely treat Yan'er well and will not let her be wronged a little."
"I hope you remember what you said today, it's not too early, you guys get up quickly. Any later delay will delay the auspicious time. After saying that, Cai Yong stopped paying attention to Tang Zheng and turned around to greet the guests, but no one noticed that Cai Yong secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
The gate of the Tang Mansion was full of people at this time, and Tang Zheng was seen riding back from a distance, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering shout from the crowd: "The groom is back, the bride has arrived." Suddenly, the entire Tang Mansion repeated the scene in the Cai Mansion just now.
