10. Wedding ceremony

……

"It's a good match, but it's ......"

Song Yanran heard the comments of the surrounding guests on Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan, and looked at the two who were sitting on the stage, and couldn't help but feel numb, not knowing how to calm her heart palpitations.

At this time, Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan sat on the stage, but they had completely different mentalities.

Jiang Ruoyan sat on the seat, her posture was quiet and elegant, but the discussions from the banquet still came to her ears from time to time, and she seemed to be calm, but in fact, her heart was already rippling, and she wanted to take a sideways look at Liu Ce's appearance, but the current situation did not allow her to do so, so she could only suppress this restlessness.

Liu Ce, on the other hand, sat on the ground and closed his eyes lightly, unable to see what the expression was on his face, motionless as if an old monk was in a state of flux, and his eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about some problem.

"Liu Ce, don't you want to have a day like today? Why are you looking at Miss Song's eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, why are you still treating me with that courtesy, if Yan doesn't want you to treat me like this, when will you understand Ruoyan's intentions? ”

"Who should be sent to attack the kingdom of Li? Do you want me to do it yourself? But next year, the situation in Jizhou will change greatly, calculate the time, Meng Luo should have returned from the Western Regions, at this time, if I don't personally sit in Jizhou, what will happen is still unknown, it's really irritating. ”

"Liu Ce, my father has already agreed to our marriage, now waiting for you to nod and agree, why can't you be as decisive as on the battlefield, or are you still afraid of something? Ruoyan won't eat you again, Ruoyan owes you too much, and just wants to compensate you well for the rest of your life, what are you afraid of? ”

"What is there to be afraid of! Jizhou will definitely recover the whole territory next year, the thirteen sons of the slave chief are almost dry now, it's time to take it out and play its due value, Meng Luo has been on the expedition for many years, and his vitality will not recover so quickly, and he will not have time to look east for a while, there is still plenty of time, in time, it is better to train the naval army first......

"Liu Ce, if Yan knows that you must care about me in your heart, do you still remember the agreement when you were a child? Do you have to tell you with my own mouth? ”

"It's useless for anyone to persuade now, whether it's the royal family or Jiang Xun, no one can stop me from using troops against Liguo."

"Why can't you open up every time you avoid me?"

"Will this military governor tell you that this expedition to the country of Li is aimed at destroying the country? As for the reason, it is so sufficient that it can even be compiled into a book. ”

Jiang Ruoyan and Liu Ce sat in front of their seats without saying a word, each thinking about their children's affairs and military affairs, and the two completely different artistic conceptions blended together, giving people a sense of elegance and profundity.

"Bang ......"

Suddenly, a salute slid across the sky, sounding inside and outside the main hall, Liu Ce slowly opened his eyes, but heard a long shout from the celebrant officer......

"The auspicious time has come! Let's get started! Greeting~"

"Fun! Greeting~"

"Fun! Greeting~"

"Greeting~"

The sound of waves echoed inside and outside the wedding hall, and then the bells and music played in unison, converging a festive and solemn tune, and the originally noisy seats immediately fell silent.

The next moment, two rows of maids standing side by side slowly stepped into the hall with red lanterns in their hands, and when they walked to the designated position, they stood separately on both sides in order, and then Chu Zijun and Wan'er, the newlyweds, appeared in the eyes of everyone in the hall.

I saw Chu Zijun and Wan'er, one left and one right, holding a red embroidered ribbon into the middle of the hall, and then bowed to the guests present.

Seeing this, Liu Ce threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart, the corners of his mouth flirted with an arc, and he gave heartfelt blessings to the couple in his heart: "Zijun, congratulations......"

After bowing his hand, Chu Zijun took Wan'er to Chu's mother's table and solemnly saluted her.

Mother Chu was so excited that she didn't know how to describe it, looking at her beautiful daughter-in-law like Wan'er, her eyes were a little moist unconsciously.

Fortunately, the maid on the side gently reminded her, and then came back to her senses, and handed the bronze wine glasses for pouring wine to Chu Zijun and Wan'er respectively, and after Chu Zijun and Wan'er finished drinking, they handed over the family heirloom bracelet they had prepared to Wan'er, and gave a few more instructions.

Wan'er held the jade bracelet in her hand and looked at the kind Chu Mu, and a warm current continued to flow in her heart. She has been an orphan since she was a child, and she has never felt what mother's love is, and she is extremely envious of Jiang Ruoyan who often coquettishly behaves in Mrs. Shi's arms.

At this moment, I finally felt the care of my elders, and secretly vowed in my heart that I must serve my mother-in-law well in the future, treat her as my own mother, and fulfill the responsibilities of a wife and daughter.

After meeting Chu's mother, Chu Zijun and Wan'er paid their respects to Jiang Xun and Mrs. Shi again, Jiang Xun and Mrs. Shi were also full of joy, and after giving wine, they also gave gifts to the couple.

In the end, Chu Zijun and Wan'er came to Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan, who were holding the red line for themselves, and bowed down together to thank them.

Jiang Ruoyan and Liu Ce raised their glasses together, and their movements were as neat as if they had been rehearsed, and then handed the wine glasses to them.

"Thank you, Lord Governor, Miss Xie."

After taking the wine glass, Chu Zijun and Wan'er also drank it all after thanking them.

Liu Ce looked at the two, sighed with relief, and then said to them: "Zijun, Wan'er, may you be together for a hundred years and be happy......

Jiang Ruoyan's beautiful eyes flickered, glanced at Wan'er, and then said to Chu Zijun: "Young Master Chu, I hope you must treat Wan'er well in the future, don't treat her badly, Ruoyan wishes you to grow old together and never abandon ......"

Chu Zijun and Wan'er bowed again: "Thank you, Lord Governor, thank you Miss Jiang, ......" After that, the two slowly retreated and continued the next etiquette process.

"Heh......"

"Giggle......"

Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan let out a chuckle at the same time as they looked at the departing figure, and then the two of them were stunned and glanced at each other at the same time.

The four eyes met for a moment, Liu Ce's eyes were slightly chuffled, and he quickly changed to a calm and breezy expression, and then nodded to her lightly and retreated to his seat and sat down.

Seeing his posture, Jiang Ruoyan covered his face with his sleeves and chuckled and returned to his position.

"The old man can't stand it, this Liu Ce, hateful, seducing my granddaughter in front of the public, it's really unreasonable......"

Jiang Yan, who had been paying attention to Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan throughout the whole process, was so angry that he almost flipped the table when he saw the two of them with such a look, but fortunately he was persuaded by Jiang Tong on the side.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Isn't that great? Then Liu Ce is polite and has not done any wrongdoing so far? ”

"He must have cast some demon spell on Yan'er, otherwise how could Yan'er look like this? Does he Liu Ce know what his identity is? Don't think that if you become a former military governor, you can match Yan'er? Pipe dream! As long as the old man is alive for a day, he can't even think about it! ”

When Jiang Tong heard this, his head hurt a little, he really didn't understand where this Liu Ce was so good that he provoked his father, did he still have the demeanor of being the prime minister of the dynasty? Seeing that Jiang Yan had no other actions for the time being, he calmed down a little.

Next, Chu Zijun and Wan'er came to the basin held by the two maids, and began to wash the ceremony, after they took their hands out of the basin, Chu Zijun took a clean towel and soaked it in the water, wrung it out, and gently wiped his face, and then the two of them put their hands on the incense burner brought by another maid and baked it for a while.

After that, under the guidance of the celebrant officer, the two came to a low table full of things and sat down with their eyebrows, and the maid on the side put the small pieces of venison that had been cut in the lunch box on the table and put them in the wooden bowl in front of the couple with silver chopsticks.

When the venison had finished, the maid filled two bowls of wine for them, and tied them together with a red ribbon of gourd, which had been opened in half. After Chu Zijun and Wan'er drank the wine in the gourd, soon a maid tied the two gourds together with the red ribbon. This ritual is called the "Harmony Ceremony" and means that both parties have become a family, united with each other and never separated.

After the ceremony, Chu Zijun got up and came behind Wan'er, gently removed the red tassel on her head, took the comb on the side and carefully combed her hair, and then took the scissors handed by the maid to cut off the hair hanging between his sideburns, and tied a corner with the red tassel. Then, after Wan'er also got up to comb Chu Zijun's hair, she also took scissors to cut off a strand of her own hair and tied it to the red tassel, and finally under the maid's entanglement, the two strands of hair were entangled together. This step is called untying the hair, which means that the husband and wife will grow old together.

In the end, Chu Zijun and Wan'er sat on the ground opposite the case, and under the congratulations of the celebrant officer, they performed the ceremony of husband and wife, and officially became a husband and wife who could sit with their eyebrows together, and the solemn and sacred wedding ceremony also came to an end.

After the ceremony, Chu Zijun and Wan'er gave another big bow to the guests present, and Wan'er walked slowly to the temporarily prepared cave room accompanied by the maid, while Chu Zijun had to continue to stay to accompany the guests.

Next, under the instructions of the celebrant, the wedding banquet officially began, and a cheerful and festive atmosphere soon spread out inside and outside the hall with the accompaniment of music......

After Liu Ce silently watched the wedding ceremony, he picked up the wine glass in front of the desk with a chuckle, glanced at it, and was about to drink it, but Lu Yu quietly leaned into his ear and said a few words.

Jiang Ruoyan, who wanted to get up and say a few words to Liu Ce, was stunned when she saw this scene, and carefully observed the changes in Liu Ce's face, for fear that he would suddenly get up and leave, after all, it was not easy to see him......
