Chapter Ninety-One: Marriage
Soon it was the seventh day of the new year, and before dawn in the early morning, someone came to the palace, dressed up in front of Li Jiang for a while, and changed into the bride's clothes.
Li Jiang looked at his beautiful and moving self in the mirror, and he should have been beaming, but Li Jiang had a smile on his face.
Mama just thought that Li Jiang was reluctant to give up on the family because she was about to get married, Mama combed Li Jiang's smooth hair, and said with a beaming face: "Today is a good day for you to get married, you should have more smiles on your face." ”
Li Jiang listened to Mama's words, knowing that today is a big day, it is very abnormal to have no smile on his face, everyone has done so many things for themselves and sacrificed so much, it can't be suspicious at this time.
A faint smile appeared on Li Jiang's face, and then explained to Mama: "I'm just a little reluctant. ”
"Silly girl." Mama didn't doubt it, but comforted: "The person you want to marry is the most heroic general in Daqin, and the man all the girls in the world want to marry the most, he will definitely be very good to you." ”
"I know." Li Jiang looked at himself in the bronze mirror, with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, he just said quietly: "He is the best person in the world." ”
"Now that you are married to General Meng, I am afraid that the hearts of many girls in this Xianyang City will be broken." Mama quipped, and said with some envy and flattery: "If your majesty personally decrees marriage, it can be described as a godsend, and you will definitely love and love for a lifetime." ”
"I lend you good words." Li Jiang listened to Mama's words, and smiled indifferently at Mama in the mirror and said.
"Well, girl, you're beautiful." After Mama combed her hair, she said to Li Jiang.
Li Jiang is the most beautiful today, with a beautiful wedding dress and exquisite makeup, Li Jiang has never dressed up so finely in his life, and he has to admire the craftsmanship of the grandmother in the palace.
"Thank you, Mama." Li Jiang thanked Mama.
"What is polite to the girl, this is the duty of the slave." Mama likes Li Jiang very much, not as difficult to serve as other ladies of the family or the masters of the palace.
"Mama, I want to be by myself for a while." Li Jiang said to Mama.
"Okay, it's good if the girl has something to call the slave and maid in." Mama didn't think much about it, but Li Jiang was about to get married and wanted to calm down by herself.
Mama soon went out, leaving Li Jiang alone in the room, I don't know why, at this moment Li Jiang's heart was unusually calm, without the slightest wave.
After meeting Zhao Gao in Meng Tian's mansion that day, he never heard from Zhao Gao again.
That day, Li Jiang and Zhao Gao both wanted to leave desperately, but after seeing the expressions in each other's eyes, they gave up.
Because they knew that they couldn't do it, they couldn't sacrifice others for their own happiness, Li Jiang saw the loss and sadness in Zhao Gao's eyes at that time.
However, Zhao Gao still understands Li Jiang, if Li Jiang follows him and gives up regardless of all family and friends, then she is not the Li Jiang he loves.
Zhao Gao knew from the beginning that Li Jiang would not leave with him, although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to fight for it.
Meng Tian's welcoming procession soon arrived in Loei, although it was not ten miles of red makeup, but it was also very grand, and the welcoming procession was almost from the street to the end of the street.
All of Meng Tian's friends, henchmen, and generals came, and it can be said that the momentum was huge, and Takagi and others also came to greet the relatives with the welcoming team.
Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, and all the people watching were full of smiles on their faces, sincerely wishing the heroic general in their hearts a happy life.
Meng Tian also had a big smile on his face, his face was beaming, and the aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away on weekdays on his body had also been reduced a lot, as if he was very approachable at the moment.
The gongs and drums outside were jubilant, and Li Jiang in the room naturally heard it, Li Jiang knew that it was Meng Tian's welcoming team that had arrived, and he was about to become someone else's bride.
At this moment, Mama happily pushed open the door and walked in, smiled happily at Li Jiang and said, "Girl, General Meng has arrived, I will cover your head." ”
Li Jiang sat quietly and silently watched as Mama put the red hijab on top of her head, covering her vision.
Meng Tian and the others were stopped at the gate of Loei for a while, and only after multiple tests by the noisy people did they enter the gate of the mansion.
At this moment, Li Lao had already sat on the main seat, Meng Tian bowed respectfully to Li Lao, Li Lao nodded, and Meng Tian went to pick up the bride.
"Knock knock knock ......" Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside Li Jiang's room, and then Meng Tian's voice was heard: "I'm coming to pick you up." ”
"General Meng has arrived." Mama heard Meng Tian's voice coming from outside the door, and immediately said happily: "Girl, the maidservant girl helped you out." ”
Li Jiang was supported by his grandmother and slowly walked out of the room, because he was covered with a red hijab, Li Jiang couldn't see the situation outside, only the inch under his feet.
"General Meng." Mama opened the door and bowed respectfully to Meng Tian.
"Get up." Meng Tian's face was full of smiles at the moment, and there was some irrepressible joy in his voice.
Although Meng Tian knew that Li Jiang didn't really want to marry him, the moment he saw Li Jiang walking out of the room in a happy dress, Meng Tian was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Tian and Li Jiang came to Li Lao together, goodbye to Li Lao, Li Lao only has such a daughter as Li Jiang, and now he is going to get married like this, Li Lao knows the feelings in his daughter's heart, although he knows that Meng Tian is a reliable and good man, but he still feels sorry for Li Jiang from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Meng Tian and Li Jiang say goodbye to him, Li Lao looked moved, but in the end he could only say: "General Meng, I only have such a daughter, and now I will entrust her to you." ”
"Uncle Yue, don't worry, I will definitely protect Jiang'er." Meng Tian knew the meaning of Li Lao's words, and assured with a serious face.
"Good, good." When Li Lao heard Meng Tian's assurance, he was also relieved a lot, showed a smile, and then turned his head and said reluctantly: "The auspicious time has come, you should hurry up and set off, don't miss the time." ”
Meng Tian and Li Jiang listened to Li Lao's words, saluted Li Lao respectfully again, and then turned to leave.
Li Lao looked at the back of them leaving, and suddenly stood up, still reluctant in his heart, Li Lao slowly followed behind them, watching Li Jiang get on the sedan chair and gradually go away.
With the departure of the sedan chair, the people who watched the excitement gradually left, and only Li Lao and the small cloth accompanying him were left at the door of the house, and the house at the moment seemed even more lonely.
Li Lao looked at Xiaobu who was accompanying him, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around and went back to the house.
Xiao Bu looked at the direction of the sedan chair, and finally went back without saying anything, although Xiao Bu didn't like to get along with others and didn't like to talk, but he had a little secret in his heart, and no one knew his secret.
The General's Mansion is now full of people, officials large and small, their faces are full of smiles, boasting to each other, touting each other, and some sincerely want to participate in the wedding, blessings to the newlyweds, they are standing outside the door one by one and looking forward to it.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard the sound of gongs and drums, and I don't know who shouted loudly: "They are coming." ”
So everyone crowded to the door, wanting to see the arrival of the sedan chair, Gongzi Fusu stood at the front, he was sincerely happy for Meng Tian.
Meng Tian rode a horse and walked at the forefront, and although the procession to greet the relatives was very slow, it was very neat.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Meng Tian dismounted and walked in front of the sedan chair.
Because Li Jiang did not have a maidservant, the grandmother sent by the palace accompanied Li Jiang from Li Mansion to the General's Mansion, and the Xi Niang on the side saw that the time had arrived.
He shouted loudly with a happy face: "Arrive immediately, please kick the sedan chair to welcome the bride into the door." ”
Meng Tian listened to Xi Niang's words, a smile appeared on his face, raised his foot and kicked the sedan door, and then leaned over to open the curtain of the sedan chair, and Li Jiang sat quietly inside.
Meng Tian put his hand in it, handed it to Li Jiang, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "We're here, let's come down." ”
Hearing Meng Tian's words, Li Jiang was shocked in his heart, but he still put his hand into Meng Tian's palm, Li Jiang felt for the first time that Meng Tian's hand was very big, very warm, and very rough.
Meng Tian carefully led Li Jiang out of the sedan chair, everyone saw this scene, they were very happy, the bride had already put a brazier at the door.
Seeing that Meng Tian led Li Jiang out of the sedan chair, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Please cross the brazier, and be happy from now on, loving and loving for a lifetime." ”
Meng Tian led Li Jiang across the brazier, and everyone made a way for them to be very interesting, so that they could walk to the happy hall without hindrance.
Because, Meng Tian has no father and no mother, his parents have been dead for many years, and there are no relatives on the throne, although Qin Shi Huang personally gave the marriage, but he did not come to the general's mansion to preside over the wedding.
Therefore, when Meng Tian and Jiang Er worshiped heaven and earth, there were only the spirit cards of their parents on the main seat, and Li Jiang was quickly helped into the happy room by the bride after worshipping heaven and earth.
Meng Tian was immediately surrounded by officials of all sizes, and everyone kept saying hello and toasting to Meng Tian, and the atmosphere could be described as joyful and lively.
Meng Tian was worried that Li Jiang had not eaten for a day and was hungry, so when everyone was not paying attention, he found Xiaobao, and Meng Tian knew that only Xiaobao could make Li Jiang happy.
Meng Tian had already prepared a snack, and Meng Tian asked Xiaobao to take it and give Li Jiang a cushion first, so that Li Jiang would not be hungry.
Xiaobao nodded very sensibly, took the snack handed over by Meng Tian, and turned around to send it to Li Jiang.
Meng Tian looked at Xiaobao's back, and was soon dragged to drink again, Meng Tian knew that if he didn't drink enough with them today, he was afraid that he would be inseparable.
When the General's Mansion was full of joy and joy, Zhao Gao sat alone by the well, looking at the sky, his whole body was full of desolation.
Zhao Gao laughed at himself silently in his heart, his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, Zhao Gao looked at the time, at this time they were afraid that they had already done it.
