Chapter 30: Marriage Day
When the light of the "Jade Horse Whip" gradually dimmed, Zhao Yan thought about it and put it into the storage magic weapon.
Gu Xu smiled faintly at this time and stretched out his hand towards her.
Zhao Yan knew that this was his invitation to her, and seemed to be silently saying to her, "Come with me".
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, took his hand, and then, under his guidance, boarded the carriage with him.
If it is said that the recognition of the "Jade Horse Whip" after many years means that the Youzhou Zhao family is submissive to Emperor Ziwei at the political level, then the actions of the two at this time are announcing their marriage to the public.
The two nests of thieves really became a family.
Although many people have speculated about it.
But when this matter was actually announced, they still couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
However, Zhao Yan didn't care about the eyes of others.
When the carriage door closed, the slightly dimly lit space inside the carriage seemed to be a small world separate from the void.
Zhao Yan sat down next to Gu Xu, put her head on his shoulder, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist, leaned into his ear and said to him: "My Gu Lang, have you ever thought about me in your heart these days of separation?" ”
Gu Xu sniffed the faint fragrance in her hair, feeling the warmth and softness of her body.
Once again, he deeply realized that both his body and his soul were covetous, enjoyed, and remembered the feeling of being with her.
"I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it." He nodded and said seriously.
Zhao Yan's eyes showed a brighter smile.
"What the Master has done recently is really beyond the expectations of the disciples," she said frequently, as she had done the last time they met, changing her name to him frequently, and seemed to take pleasure in it, "without a single soldier, she broke through the northwest border of the Great Qi Dynasty...... I thought I was going to fight a tough battle. Bai made the disciples worry every night. ”
"You have to believe in your master's ability."
"What's next for the Emperor?" Zhao Yan's fingertips swept lightly across Gu Xu's back, as if sketching the outline of a map, "With Liangzhou and Yumen, shouldn't it be the turn of Longzhou, Fengxiang, and Yu......lin next?"
"No," Gu Xu shook his head, "Next, I have something far more important than expanding the territory. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Marry you."
…………
The seventh day of the eighth month of the twenty-fourth year of Tianxing is an auspicious day for marriage, alliance and heirship.
On this day, the city of Liangzhou was full of lights and hustle and bustle, and the atmosphere was comparable to the New Year.
Banners with dragon patterns on black backgrounds were hung on the towering city walls, bonfires were lit in the city squares, and the streets were crowded with artists beating gongs and drums. Armoured soldiers patrol the streets with weapons in hand to maintain order.
Ordinary people closed their homes and shops early in the morning and joined the onlookers in celebration. The shouts, laughter, and the footsteps of thousands of people poured down like a waterfall, converging into a sea of hustle and bustle.
This grand ceremony with the participation of the whole city is undoubtedly to celebrate the wedding of Gu Xu and Zhao Yan.
Gu Xu is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei, and Zhao Yan was also the king of a country, and the two of them tied the knot, and the scene was naturally not small.
However, because Gu Xu has not yet declared the founding of the country, nor has he really ascended the throne as the emperor, and the two have special identities, they have not paid attention to the order and red tape of the emperor's wedding, but have more of the liveliness of civilian weddings.
Zhao Yan, who is far away from her hometown, recently temporarily lived in a spacious and comfortable mansion in the eastern suburbs of Liangzhou.
She walked outside the house in the bright sunshine, held three sticks of incense, bowed three times to the northeast, and told her late mother the news of her upcoming marriage.
Zhao Yan used to think that she was a heroine who did not let her eyebrows, and felt that marriage was a big deal, but it was not the only important thing in life. She won't cry and twist like an ordinary little woman on her wedding day.
However, when she silently finished what she had to say in her heart, her nose was slightly sore, and tears could not help but roll in her eyes—not because of sadness, but because of joy.
The man she had been waiting for for thousands of years in reincarnation would finally truly belong to her.
Later, the maidservants led by Qiu Yan embraced her into the house and trimmed her sideburns, grease and powder, and painted her eyebrows.
Zhao Yan, who is naturally beautiful, rarely dresses up on weekdays, but she is already unparalleled and charming.
And today, after a whole hour of meticulous carving, she is even more reborn and faded away, like a demon fairy coming to the world, which makes people dare not look at it.
Then the maidservants dressed her in a fiery red wedding dress, a golden crown, and delicate embroidered shoes. The dark cloud-like black hair is pulled up high, embellished with heavy green clouds, pearl peonies, golden wisps and other ornaments, which are dazzling and dizzying.
Qiu Yan stood aside, looking at her master's jeweled and colorful appearance, her heart was full of envy and a little reluctant.
Generally speaking, the personal maid of the rich lady of the Great Wilderness often marries with the hostess.
But with Zhao Yan's persistent possessiveness towards Gu Xu, she can accept Shi Xiaohan's existence, which is already a great concession - after all, she knows very well that Shi Xiaohan has an important position in Gu Xu's heart, and he will never abandon Shi Xiaohan, the old lover who once accompanied Wei Mo, for her.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Yan to stuff a girl who has a room next to Gu Xu.
Therefore, Zhao Yan's wedding day became the day of Qiu Yan's freedom-
Zhao Yan handed over the deed to Qiu Yan, allowing her to be free and no longer have to serve the Zhao family in the future; At the same time, he also promised that if Qiu Yan chooses a good son-in-law, he will give her a rich dowry and let her marry in style.
After Zhao Yan finished dressing up, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside the house.
The maidservants poked their heads out of the window and saw Gu Xu, who was wearing a crown, wearing a red wedding dress, riding a tall horse, and carrying many retinues and gifts, along the wide street, beating gongs and drums all the way, walking in the direction of the mansion.
"The bridegroom is here!" They said with a grin.
Zhao Yan didn't stretch out her head to look.
But in her mind, she could imagine Gu Xu, who didn't know anything about riding, trying to control the horses with spells, pretending to be calm and calm.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my lips slightly, and a bright smile appeared in my eyes.
…………
At the same time, after the firecrackers went off, Gu Xu and his welcoming party were blocked out of the hidden gate.
This is the "sedan door" in the great wilderness wedding customs.
Gu Xu had to take out a lot of red envelopes and candy prepared in advance, and answered a lot of difficult questions raised by the woman's relatives, before he successfully entered the courtyard with the sedan chair. (End of chapter)
