Chapter 1033 Wanniang gets married
Inside and outside the mansion, there were lights and decorations everywhere. Since the morning, the guests coming and going have never stopped. Li Xiu also came to entertain the guests in person. Today is the day for Wanniang to get married. Although Wanniang's identity is a bit special, for Li Xiu's sake, many close relatives and friends came to congratulate him. Of course, Li Shimin's previous appointment of Wanniang's sisters as the county lord also made many people relieve their concerns.
"Why hasn't the wedding team come yet?" Li Xiu was entertaining guests while looking out the door anxiously. After all, it was getting late, so it was supposed to be here, so why aren't there still no one there?
"Master, don't worry, I've sent someone to inquire, and there should be news soon." As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, a manager next to him replied while wiping the sweat on his forehead. There are too many customers today, and there are many things they need to worry about, so they are not relaxed now, and the whole mansion is also busy with Wan Niang's marriage.
"That's good. Send someone to urge me, don't miss the time!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this, and then couldn't help but turn his head and look outside the door. The anxious expression on his face still did not slow down at all.
In fact, Li Xiu was very confused about the fact that he married a daughter at home, whether it was Qi Niang and Gui Niang before or Wan Niang now. Although they were not their daughters, they were no different from their daughters in terms of love. Now he was watching the "daughter" he raised by one, being taken away by a guy named "son-in-law". He also had to pack the dowry and send it out. No one would feel good if he had no choice.
However, no matter how reluctant the girl in her heart is, she still has to get married when she grows up. Today is Wanniang, and her sisters will grow up day by day, as well as Li Xiu's daughter Su Ya, etc. When she thinks that these children will leave her to start her own family in the future, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.
At this moment, suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and then the sound of playing music came over, which shocked the guests at home, especially the female guests, who were even more energetic. The mansion had already prepared a stick for them and prepared to give the groom a warning.
The wedding team came to Li Xiu's mansion and saw Pei Xingjian, wearing auspicious clothes, jumped off the horse. However, he was covered in powder on his face and a big red flower was tied to his head. Festiveness was festive, but it was awkward no matter how you look at it. But this was normal. Li Xiu thought that when he got married, it seemed that he was dressed in this way.
Pei Xingjian also brought a group of friends to welcome the bride. As soon as they entered the mansion, the women hiding on both sides of the door rushed over with sticks and beat Pei Xingjian and others. Although it was not really a hit, and there was silk tied to the stick, it hurts to hit the body. Even if it didn't hurt, Pei Xingjian and others had to pretend to hurt and beg for mercy, otherwise these women would really be ruthless.
After finally breaking through the front door, he greeted Li Xiu and the guests. Finally, he was led to the yard where Wan Niang lives in the inner house. However, the gate was closed at this time. Inside, Wan Niang's sisters held the door. If they wanted to enter, they had to give red envelopes, and they had to be embarrassed by these young ladies, otherwise they would not want them to open the door.
However, even if these young sisters were asked to open the gate of the courtyard, Pei Xingjian still couldn't see the bride, but instead stood outside Wanniang's boudoir to recite the poems for makeup. Speaking of which, although Pei Xingjian served in the army, he was also a person who participated in the imperial examinations at the time, so it was difficult for him to write poems. He actually recited ten poems for makeup outside. Although these were poems made in advance, it was not easy.
The most important thing for the wedding is liveliness, but no matter how much the noise is, it cannot delay the marriage in the end. Therefore, when the auspicious time comes, Wan Niang, who is dressed in auspicious clothes, was finally carried out by Li Jin from the boudoir. According to the rules of marriage, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, and she must be carried out by her brother when she goes out of the carriage. However, Li Chengdao and the others are all in the Americas, so in the end, she can only let Li Jin, the cousin, do it for her.
At this time, Li Jin did not forget to make trouble. He walked on Wan Niang's back while making trouble, and whispered to complain that Wan Niang was too serious. Wan Niang was unable to get angry and finally had to pinch Li Jin's back. Although Li Jin was not old, he had not been in vain in the military academy this year. His body was extremely strong, and Wan Niang had no choice but to pinch his hands so much that he couldn't help him.
However, just when Li Jin was about to carry Wan Niang on the carriage, she suddenly felt sad, especially thinking that from today on, although she was still a member of this family, she was also someone else's daughter-in-law. When she wanted to meet her uncle and aunt in the future, it would not be as convenient as she is now. This made her, who has always been sentimental, cry and finally wet Li Jin's back, but this finally made Li Jin honest.
Wan Niang finally got on the carriage, but at this time, Princess Pingyang, Yi Niang and others were already crying. Li Xiu also had tears in his eyes and pulled Pei Xingjian to remind him for a long time. Finally, under the urging of the emcee, the bride-welcome team finally set off again. However, this time there were more people who sent brides. However, according to the rules, elders such as Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang could not go, and finally could only stand outside the door and watch the bride-welcome team leave.
Wanniang got married and there was one more person missing in the family. Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang and the others had not recovered for a few days. However, three days later, when Wanniang returned to the door, she saw her happy smile as if she was smiling, which made everyone in the family relieved. Li Xiu also broke the precepts and personally drank a few drinks with Pei Xingjian.
When Su Dingfang left, he specially gave Pei Xingjian a wedding leave. He didn't have to go back until this autumn. He still had half a year to spend with Wanniang, which made Li Xiu very satisfied. After all, the couple had just gotten married, and if they separated now, they would be too cruel to Wanniang.
Wanniang's wedding was over, and Li Xiu also lost a lot of thought. Next, he focused all his energy on the financial management and the printing company, especially the printing company. Because the revision of the Analects of Confucius has been completed, the printing company will do its best to start printing the Analects of Confucius, which will be a major event that affects the entire scholar class.
While busy, Li Xiu has been paying attention to the movements of the aristocratic families, because he is worried that those aristocratic families will do something again, especially now that the library is open and the new Analects of Confucius is about to be printed. This is something that the aristocratic families cannot tolerate.
