Chapter 489: More Beautiful Than I Imagined
The sedan chair landed steadily, and the bride lifted the sedan curtain and helped Gu Yunjin get off the sedan chair.
She tidied up the hem cuffs of Gu Yunjin's clothes, straightened the position of the bronze mirror on her chest, let Gu Yunjin take it by hand, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, bride, the little grandfather's riding and archery skills are good." ”
Gu Yunjin took a deep breath and stood up straight.
Before the bride enters the door, the groom will shoot arrows to ward off evil spirits and seek good luck.
However, not all grooms can shoot art, so each family will be different depending on the situation.
Those who can shoot the mirror are superior, and those who take a step back are sitting in the sedan chair by the bride, and the groom official takes an arrow to shoot the sedan curtain.
In his previous life, he married into the Yang family, Yang Xiyu naturally did not have such good skills, and Gu Yunjin did not have the courage to accept Yang Xiyu's arrows.
Although these arrows are all made separately, wrapped in wax and do not pierce people, Gu Yunjin knows that the other party will not be able to shoot accurately, and it will be embarrassing if it is biased.
This life is different, she has great confidence in Jiang Muyuan.
The little grandfather who is both civil and military, this kind of archery is not a problem.
Gu Yunjin stood up, Jiang Muyuan took the longbow from Cheng Jinzhi's hand, and gently plucked the bowstring, knowing the strength to be used.
He took the arrow again, and with the bow in one hand and the string in the other, the arrow was shot before the people on the side could see it.
It seemed to be a casual movement, and he didn't deliberately aim at it, but the arrow hit the bronze mirror, making a crisp hitting sound, and then hit the ground in response.
This gesture is really pleasing to the eye, and there are applause all around.
Jiang Muyuan's smile did not decrease, and he shot two arrows sharply.
Wow, wow!
Crisp and refreshing.
It's not that he deliberately flaunts, but after years of bow drawing practice, his muscles have a memory, and he doesn't need to deliberately aim back and forth, and he can get results.
Jiang Muyuan handed over the longbow, and Gu Yunjin also put down the bronze mirror.
Her heart was beating a little fast, not because she was afraid, but because the three rings in succession, as if they had passed through the bronze mirror and landed on her heart, made her involuntarily want to open her eyes wide to see the archer.
It's a pity that the red hijab obscures her vision, and no matter how hard she tries to distinguish it, there is only a hazy shadow.
Those who came to watch the ceremony, in addition to the Jiang family, there are also many public princes and eunuchs who have a good relationship with the Jiang family, the alley here was quite spacious, but it is also crowded at the moment, and some people who love to watch the excitement also flocked in, looking at it from a distance or two.
Although everyone admired Jiang Muyuan's archery skills, they already knew his ability, and after praising him, they turned their heads and praised the bride.
The faster the bow and arrow are shot, the greater the strength, and Gu Yunjin can take the three arrows without moving, which shows that the lower plate is extremely stable.
"The girl is the girl, and the foundation is good."
"Not really! I just looked at her fingers, and they didn't tremble at all, and they were so bold. ”
"Women don't let me shave my eyebrows!"
The praise on the side one after another, Gu Yunjin could hear it clearly, and she could take it without moving, of course, there were her own reasons, but it was more because Jiang Muyuan, who was archery, had a good grasp of proportion.
She has a few catties and taels, Jiang Muyuan knows in her heart, and the arrows she shot are exactly what she can catch.
This agenda is about mutual trust and cooperation, the control of the groom's officials, and the bride's foothold and don't panic.
And Gu Yunjin, she believes in Jiang Muyuan very much, of course, her feet are not soft and her fingers are not trembling.
Gu Yunjin was helped by the bride to cross the brazier, her hands were stuffed with red silk, and the other end was held in Jiang Muyuan's hands, leading her into the gate of the Ningguo Mansion and all the way to the Xitang.
She was only invited by Shou'an to come to Ningguo Mansion once, and she didn't take this road at that time, and she couldn't tell the difference between left and right.
When they were surrounded by the crowd and entered the happy hall, they could distinguish the southeast and northwest.
Jiang Muyuan only had time to take a good look at the bride next to him at this time.
Gu Yunjin's figure was only up to his chin, and now he was wearing a phoenix crown, and he was suddenly taller, and the top of his red hijab was as tall as him.
The wedding dress is worn on the body, there is no half of bloated, it looks slender and slender, so that people can't take their eyes off it at all.
Jiang Muyuan saw it for a moment, and didn't turn around until the bride pushed it, and in the call of "worship heaven and earth", the two bent down together and bowed to the sky.
Then turn around and bow to the high church.
Jiang Shiyu smiled from ear to ear, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together.
The eldest princess of Anyang was also very happy, and after receiving the gift of the little couple, she couldn't stop chattering with Princess Yong on the side: "It can be regarded as marrying back, look at the appearance of this right!" ”
Princess Yong smiled and quipped: "Before the hijab is lifted, you can see it?" ”
The eldest princess looked at her and said with a smile: "What does Yunjin look like, haven't you seen it, or haven't I seen it?" ”
Hearing this, Princess Yong couldn't straighten up with a smile, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, your daughter-in-law, of course you are right." ”
In the midst of laughter, Gu Yunjin and Jiang Muyuan stood opposite each other, and solemnly saluted with the "husband and wife" of the ceremonial official.
The ceremony was completed, and the sound of congratulations in my ears continued, and it was so lively that it seemed to tear off the roof of the wedding hall.
Laughter can be infectious, not to mention that Gu Yunjin is in a very good mood, covered by a hijab, and can't help laughing at all.
She followed Jiang Muyuan out of the wedding hall, walked through the corridor garden, walked to the new house, and was guided by the bride to sit down on the wedding bed.
As soon as she sat down, she felt a little bumpy, Gu Yunjin thought, her two sisters-in-law are really honest people, they can feel it through the quilt, it can be seen that the peanuts and lotus seeds are sprinkled all over.
Gu Yunjin was thinking about that, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and the red hijab was picked open.
She subconsciously raised her head and met Jiang Muyuan's gaze.
Looking at each other, Gu Yunjin was slightly stunned, and then smiled again.
Jiang Muyuan also looked straight at Gu Yunjin, his bride, with picturesque eyebrows.
Her facial features were originally born well, and her light makeup on weekdays was very pleasing, and now that she is a bride, her rouge is thicker than in the past.
Jiang Muyuan suddenly remembered Su Dongpo's sentence "Heavy makeup and light makeup are always appropriate", Gu Yunjin in front of him, his eyes seemed to be falling into the sky, making him reluctant to blink his eyes.
Xi Niang urged him to sit down on the edge of the bed, brought two glasses of wine, and motioned for the two to take it.
Gu Yunjin picked up one, turned his eyes to look at Jiang Muyuan, and crossed his arms with him, the wine cup was against his lips, and he raised his head.
The two were so close that she even smelled the smell of saltpeter on Jiang Muyuan's body, and thinking of the deafening sound of firecrackers, Gu Yunjin smiled even more.
Jiang Muyuan also smelled the aroma of rouge, lingering between breaths, which was more intoxicating than the aroma of wine.
Before the two separated, and then covered his arms, he moved quickly and whispered in Gu Yunjin's ear: "It's so beautiful, more beautiful than I imagined." ”
