No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 436 Luo Su's wedding!

The hall of the Su family was decorated with lanterns and festoons early today, and it was full of joy. Old Madam Su wore a crimson red gown and sat on the main seat to accept congratulations from everyone.

What shocked all the guests was the brocade-clothed boy sitting next to Grand Tutor Su. Naturally, those who could communicate with the Su family were the dignitaries in Shangyonghuang City, and naturally they would not fail to recognize that the brocade-clothed boy was His Majesty the current emperor.

Although the Prince Regent is now in charge, the little emperor's presence at the Su family's wedding ceremony for his daughter is enough to show that the royal family attaches great importance to the Su family and this marriage.

Because of the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, the people who were originally complaining about Su Rui's marriage shortly after retiring also quickly put their thoughts to the bottom of their hearts, and no matter what they thought in their hearts, they showed a sincere congratulations on the face.

"Chen Luo Jinyan greets His Majesty, grandfather, father-in-law and mother-in-law." The young man in a crimson groom's dress was surrounded by everyone and entered the gate, bowing respectfully to everyone in the lobby.

Although Master Su and Mrs. Su could only sit next to each other, there was no sign of displeasure on their faces.

His Majesty the Emperor's presence in person is a great honor to both the Su family and their daughter.

Xie Cheng was also no stranger to Luo Jinyan, and said with a smile: "General Luo please stand up, congratulations to the general today."

Luo Jinyan just got up after thanking him. Mrs. Su stroked his beard with a smile and looked at the grandson-in-law in the hall, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, we will be a family from now on. There is no need to be polite. A Rui is the granddaughter whom I love the most. Her parents also love her like a treasure, and I hope Jinyan will take care of her more in the future."

Luo Jinyan cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, grandfather and father-in-law, I will definitely not let A Rui suffer any grievances."

"Okay, okay." Taifu Su said hello again and again, looked sideways at his son and daughter-in-law, and signaled that they had something to say to his son-in-law.

Master Su and Mrs. Su also asked Luo Jinyan a few words as usual, and Luo Jinyan answered them all.

These can only be regarded as the scenes of a fixed process, and there is no lack of sincerity in them, but how can the worry and concern for the future of the daughter and son-in-law be finished in a few words?I don't know how much I have said before and after marriage, and how much more I will say.

A beaming voice came from outside the door, "Here comes the bride!"

Luo Jinyan looked towards the door, his originally calm face became tense for a moment.

With the support of Qin Ning and Liang Shufeng, Su Rui walked in from the outside, surrounded by Shen Hongxiu, Song Jue, Xu Xinyu and others.Looking at this luxurious team of girlfriends, some people have mixed feelings.

Because of Su Rui's divorce and engagement before, many girls who had been friends with Su Rui either voluntarily or were forced to cut off contact with her, but now looking at the noble girls around Su Rui, there are also some girls who are close to Su Rui compared to before. More than anything.

Obviously, those things before had no effect on Su Rui. As for what those people who disliked Su Rui and broke up with her thought, only they knew in their hearts.

"The newlyweds bid farewell to their parents." Amidst the sound of ceremony and music, the master of ceremonies sang loudly.

Luo Jinyan walked to Su Rui's side, stretched out his hand to help her walk to the front of the hall, and the two respectfully bid farewell to the elders in the hall.

Mrs. Su couldn't help her eyes turning red when she saw her daughter standing in front of the hall in a red dress.Resisting her reluctance, she asked her daughter a few words, and Su Rui nodded her head one by one.

Elder Su supported his wife and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go out."

Su Rui held back her tears and bid farewell to her parents again, the eldest son of the Su family stepped forward to carry his younger sister on his back and walked outside surrounded by everyone.

Luo Jinyan also bid farewell to several people in the hall one by one, and followed quickly.

Outside the main gate of the Su family, firecrackers and joy were shining, and the onlookers saw the bride come out and booed and shouted one after another.

Girls holding flower baskets in the welcoming team sprinkled all kinds of coins and candies towards the crowd, which drew cheers from the crowd.

The team welcoming the bride was huge, standing at the gate of the Su family's gate and looking at it, the team was almost reaching the end of the street.

Amidst the laughter, Su Rui was sent into the wedding sedan chair by the eldest son of the Su family, "Ah Rui, from now on, you have to take care of yourself, and if you suffer any grievances, you should come back and tell the elder brother, the Su family will make decisions for you."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Su Rui raised her hijab and smiled at her elder brother, "Don't worry, elder brother, I will be fine."

Young Master Su looked at his younger sister's red eyes, knew that she had cried in secret, and said with a soft smile: "Even if A Rui gets married, she will still be a girl of the Su family, and your yard will always be kept by you, what? Come back and stay for a few days when you want to come back.”

Su Rui nodded, feeling reluctance and guilt in her heart.

The Su family has a clean and upright style. Both her parents, elders and brothers and sisters are very kind to her. They are sad because of her marriage, but they don't know that she has been planning how to escape from the Su family for so many years.

The curtain of the wedding sedan chair was lowered, and Su Rui finally couldn't hold back her tears.

It was lively outside for a while before I heard the master of ceremonies' voice saying: "The auspicious time has come! The bride is married, get up the sedan chair!"

Qin Ning and Xu Xinyu came in quickly, Qin Ning smiled and said, "Ah Rui, we're leaving."

Su Rui quickly wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Thank you two princesses for accompanying me, Minmin and the others are behind?"

Xu Xinyu smiled and said: "Sister A Rui, don't say that, this is what we should do. Cousin Shufeng and the others are following behind in a car, don't be sad, the Luo family is not far from the Su family."

Su Rui nodded with a smile, Xu Xinyu is still young, she can't fully understand the difference between a woman after she gets married.

In her opinion, even if she got married, she would just live in another place. Wouldn't the distance between the Luo family and the Su family be enough to go home?
Qin Ning naturally understands better than Xu Xinyu, but she has a free and easy temper, and feels that she should be happy when she gets married, so she put her arms around Su Rui and said with a smile: "Xinyu is right, the bride should be happy and beautiful. If you turn around Your eyes are red from crying, others will laugh at you."

With such two cuties sitting in front of her, how could Su Rui feel sad?
The wedding sedan chair shook slightly, and the three immediately felt that the sedan chair was being lifted up.The joy outside also changed, and the sound of firecrackers crackled even more.

"set off!"

Qin Ning carefully lifted a corner of the curtain of the sedan chair, just in time to see Luo Jinyan who was riding beside him.

Luo Jinyan leaned over and said, "Thank you, Princess Anyang, is Miss Su okay?"

Qin Ning immediately smiled and said, "It's very good, Mr. Luo, don't worry." Then she quickly put down the curtain.

"I'm back! I'm back!" In the Luo family's flower hall dedicated to entertaining female relatives, Luo Junyao and Mrs. Su sat beside Mrs. Luo, talking with the female relatives who came to congratulate them.

The voice of the servants of the Luo family came from a distance outside the door, and the female family members who were chatting in low voices immediately stopped talking and looked sideways at the person in the main seat.

Luo Junyao stood up and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law are back, please grandma and mother to lead all distinguished guests to the lobby, I will go out to greet you."

Several female family members who have a good relationship with the Luo family also got up and said that they would go with the concubine to welcome the newcomer, and the others naturally responded repeatedly, watching Luo Junyao and his party go out.

"I heard that Wang Hao and Mrs. Luo have a very good relationship, and it is true after seeing it today." A female family member said with a smile.

Isn't it?Even if she is a sister-in-law, the Princess Regent is the Princess Regent after all, so going out to greet her in person is a great honor to the sister-in-law who just came in.

Another female family member smiled and said, "It's not just because you have a good relationship with Mrs. Luo? I heard that the two Mr. Luo and the concubine are also brothers and sisters. Mrs. Luo is really lucky."

Today is grandson's big day, Mrs. Luo seems to be much more generous than usual.

He was very happy with everyone's praise, and laughed repeatedly: "They are all good boys."

Seeing that today's wedding banquet was very grand and lively, Mrs. Luo felt much less dissatisfaction with the Su family.After all these years, she is more or less self-aware. If she personally organizes her grandson's wedding, it probably won't be so perfect.

In addition, she has also learned a lot these days, and at this time she did not refuse the hand extended by Mrs. Su, she kindly supported Mrs. Su's hand to get up and went to the hall to watch the ceremony with everyone.

Everyone was also a little surprised. Mrs. Luo and the others had heard of it even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. Now it seems that it is not the same as the rumors.

Mrs. Su supported Mrs. Luo, and invited everyone to the lobby to watch the ceremony with a smile.

In the lobby of the Luo family, Mrs. Luo was sitting in the center of the main seat. Her old face, which had always looked a little mean in the past, was full of smiles, and she actually felt a little more kind.

Luo Yun and Mrs. Su sat on the left and right sides of Mrs. Luo respectively, both smiling and waiting for the newcomer to come in.

Xie Yan took the first seat on the lower side. After all, the regent is the son-in-law of the Luo family even though he is of high status. It is reasonable to call the newcomer "Big Brother and Sister-in-law", so naturally he cannot sit in the high hall and receive worship from the newcomer.

The sound of laughter came from a distance and gradually approached.

Everyone looked back, and a couple of newlyweds walked in from the outside surrounded by everyone, and the regent princess was among the people following the new couples.

"The newcomer has arrived! The auspicious time has come, the newcomer salutes!"

With the voice of the master of ceremonies, the music played, and the bride and groom slowly entered the hall with the support of the two princesses.

Luo Junyao had already entered the door first and ran to Xie Yan's side. Xie Yan pulled her to sit down on the empty seat beside her, and said softly, "Yaoyao worked hard today."

Luo Junyao was indeed a little tired from the busy schedule today, but he was in a particularly good mood, "It's not hard, I'm very happy to see my eldest brother and sister A Rui getting married."

Xie Yan smiled, picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to her.

Luo Junyao took it, took a sip and then put it down, leaned closer and whispered: "Why do I feel that many people look at Big Brother in a wrong way?" Before she sat down, she realized that many people looked at Big Brother in a different way. Looking at the groom officer.

It can't be said to be malicious, but it is always a bit complicated.

Xie Yan said: "Probably because they know that Jinyan is leaving Shangyong, so they are reluctant."

"..." It is enough to say the first half of the sentence, but the second half is pure nonsense, right?

Everyone here looked at Luo Jinyan with complicated expressions. After Wei Changting, there was another high-ranking official who was only 25 years old. Even Luo Jinyan, the governor of Huaining, was more conspicuous than Wei Changting, the secretary of the household department.

The Minister of the Household Department is a Beijing official, so he is naturally a fat vacant, and seems to be more noble than the released Governor Huaining.But after all, they still have to go to the yamen every day to order and go to the palace for early court just like them.

The governor of Huaining alone controls the military and political power of Huaining and Ningzhou. He is a veritable local emperor. He is much more proud than many vassal kings. If he is placed in troubled times, he will be a prince.

The loss of such a promising son-in-law has made many families with girls of the right age grieve.

I only regret that I was not more diligent in marriage back then. If I got such a son-in-law, it would not be shameful even if I lowered my stature.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Following the high-pitched voice of the master of ceremonies, Luo Jinyan and Su Rui each held one end of the red silk and bowed respectfully.

"bye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Three salutes! Get up—"

"Second obeisance to the high hall! Obeisance!"

"Goodbye!"

"Three salutes! Get up—"

Su Rui was supported by Qin Ning and Xu Xinyu, turned around and stood opposite Luo Jinyan beside her.

"Bye husband and wife!"

"bye!"

The red hijab blocked her view, and Su Rui could only see the red in front of her eyes and the ground covered with a red gold-woven carpet.

As she bowed slowly, her heart couldn't help beating a few beats faster.She couldn't help but clenched the red silk tightly in her hand, the other end of the red silk was held by another person, and this person was her husband in the eyes of the world from then on.

Su Rui suddenly felt that she didn't really realize until this moment, what shocking thing she did.

"Three salutes! Get up—"

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber!" Su Rui was dazed, and found that her hand was being held by a slender and slightly warm hand.

The two were once again surrounded by the crowd, and Qin Ning laughed and booed beside her, "Send it to the bridal chamber!"

"Ari, don't be nervous." Luo Jinyan's gentle and soft voice rang in his ears.

Su Rui nodded slightly, "Yes."

The lobby was noisy and festive, everyone congratulated Luo Yun one after another, Luo Yun also laughed heartily and thanked them one by one, and invited all the distinguished guests to the banquet.

The laughter of the girls in the new house was so lively, Su Rui had already taken off her hijab and was sitting at the table eating the delicate snacks prepared by Luo's family.

Luo Mingxiang sat beside her, propped his chin and looked at her with a smile, which made Su Rui feel a little embarrassed.

"Isn't it to my sister-in-law's appetite? Big Brother personally asked us to prepare this, just in case you won't be able to eat all day and you will be hungry." Luo Mingxiang laughed softly.

Su Rui glared at her, and said in a low voice, "Eat something before going out." Although it is said that the newlyweds don't eat well, they are not so strict in private, and naturally they still take the body of their own girl as the main consideration. .

The whole day of the wedding is hard work, so what if you are still hungry?

Luo Mingxiang picked up a cup of soup next to him, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please drink it to moisten your throat."

"You two sisters-in-law are very close." Liang Shufeng next to him smiled and said, "You used to have a good relationship, so it can be seen that you are born to be a family."

Luo Mingxiang smiled generously: "That's right, A Rui is so outstanding, except for my elder brother, I really can't think of anyone who can match her."

Everyone couldn't help thinking about their brothers, and they all said that Miss Luo was right.

Mr. Luo is a rare and wishful gentleman in Shangyong.

"Why are you so happy?" Luo Junyao also asked with a smile when he came in from the outside.

Qin Ning leaned against Xu Xinyu and said with a smile, "Is Yao Yao coming to visit sister-in-law too?"

Luo Junyao narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon smiled and said generously: "Yes, I'm here to see my sister-in-law. But Ah Ning, my name is Sister-in-law A Rui, what should your name be A Rui?"

"..." Qin Ning froze instantly. Ever since Yao Yao married her uncle, her seniority has been lowered a lot.

Seeing her languid appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

Su Rui was a bit shy at first, but seeing the cheerful and bright girls in the room, she couldn't help laughing.

After all, it was the eldest son's wedding, so the Luo family naturally arranged it in a big way, and the scene was very lively and grand.

Not only the mansion hosted almost all the dignitaries and celebrities in Shangyong, but also held a running water banquet in the whole street outside the mansion, so that ordinary people in Shangyong could also participate in the grand event.

The Luo family also gave alms in the city in the name of Su Rui, sending money and food to the poor people.

Those who received the money and food were naturally grateful to Su Rui, the eldest daughter of the Su family, and now the young wife of the Luo family. They all praised the benevolence of Mrs. Luo, and congratulated Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo on their century-old hand in hand.

The way the Luo family behaved naturally showed everyone that they were satisfied with and valued Su Rui, the daughter-in-law.

The Luo family did not discuss with the Su family in advance, and the people of the Su family who were sad that their daughter had left the cabinet felt much more at ease when they heard the news from the servants from outside.

The Luo family valued their daughter more than anything else.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and then gradually quieted down.

At the wedding banquet, Luo Yun and Xie Yan were in charge, and Luo Jinxing's younger brother, Wei Changting, Gu Jue, and a group of young generals under Ding Guojun stood in the way. No one dared to embarrass the groom. Luo Jinyan escaped smoothly and went back to the backyard.

It's just that Mr. Luo didn't expect that when he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he encountered a threshold, which was set by his own sister.

"Princess, Princess Anyang, you guys are..." Luo Yi looked at the girls standing in the yard, couldn't help but twitched his lips and secretly turned to look at his young master.

Qin Ning raised her chin and said, "We helped Mr. Luo deal with those annoying people outside. We don't want to make trouble in the bridal chamber, but... our A Rui can't marry Mr. Luo so easily. If you want to enter the door, you have to call first." Let's talk!"

"..." Miss Su... No, the young lady has already entered the door, okay?
"Sir?"

Luo Jinyan signaled him to back away, and took a meaningful look at Luo Junyao who was hiding under the eaves.

Luo Jun shook his lips and snickered, and blinked at his elder brother.

Luo Jinyan lowered his head and said, "Girls, please enlighten me."

Qin Ning's eyes lit up, and she waved her small hand and said aggressively, "Girls! Come on! Down with Mr. Luo!"

"..." For Luo Jinyan, the only one who can really fight is Qin Ning.

Shen Hongxiu Liang Shufeng and Song Yu also have some skills, but compared with people like Luo Jinyan, they are really flamboyant.As for Zhao Sisi and Xu Hui, they really could only cheer from the sidelines, they couldn't even get involved.

But after ten moves, the three girls withdrew from the battle, but Qin Ning's face was full of excitement, and the whip in his hand was dancing vigorously.

Luo Jinyan couldn't hurt her, so naturally he had to leave a lot of room for his shots, and Qin Ning didn't immediately fall down.

"Princess Anyang is so powerful?" Luo Mingxiang asked in surprise while supporting the pillar.

Luo Jun rolled his eyes and said: "Brother let her, I know they are useless, why not let Qin Yao'er and Ling Lan come." It would be better if Leng Shuang is still there.

Luo Mingxiang laughed softly and said: "Linglan may not dare to fight with elder brother, as for Miss Qin..." The girl must not be careful and really put elder brother down, it would be funny.

"Ah Ning's whip is good. She said she would teach me earlier, but unfortunately I probably don't have time to learn it." Su Rui appeared at the door at some point, and smiled softly.

They were not surprised to see Su Rui standing at the door when they turned their heads. Luo Junyao pulled Su Rui to his side and said with a smile, "I just said it's boring to sit inside, so come and watch the fun together."

Su Rui looked at Luo Jinyan who was fighting with Qin Ning with a smile, and said with a smile: "Ah Ning seems to be losing."

Luo Jun shook his head and saw that Qin Ning's whip was already in Luo Jinyan's hands. Given the strength gap between the two, Luo Jinyan could get away with just a little force on Qin Ning's whip.

Luo Junyao sighed, "It's still my girl's job." Before she finished speaking, she jumped towards the two people in the yard in a blink of an eye.

Just as Qin Ning let go of the whip, she was pushed out of the battle circle by a gentle force.

Shen Hongxiu next to her reached out to help her stand still, and when she looked up again, she saw the faint blue light of the knife in Luo Junyao's hand waving towards Luo Jinyan.

"Shaking?" Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and leaned back to avoid the oncoming sharp knife light.

Luo Jun shook his smile and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm on the bride's side today. I can only see the bride if I win!"

Luo Jinyan was helpless, sighed softly and called out: "Luo Yi."

Luo Yi, who stood watching the battle, understood, raised his hand and threw the sword in his hand to Luo Jinyan.

One of the brothers and sisters held a sword and the other held a knife. The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword intersected, making everyone dazzled.

This match is much more interesting than the fight with Qin Ning just now. Luo Junyao's current real strength is still slightly lower than that of Luo Jinyan, and both of them have extremely rich practical experience. If they really fight, the outcome is unpredictable.

But at this time, the two are not facing each other for life and death. It is just that those who are watching from the exchange of moves will only think that the moves of the two are wonderful, which makes people unbearable to look sideways.

In the blink of an eye, four or five hundred moves were still tied, Luo Junyao watched his elder brother's eyes roll, and suddenly flew back to the eaves.

Luo Jinyan didn't chase her either, he just stood there and threw the long sword to Luo Yi, and asked helplessly, "Is it all right?"

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "You can barely pass the test. Big brother must treat sister-in-law well in the future. Otherwise...we will all stand by sister-in-law's side!"

"That's right! We are all A Rui's backers! Mr. Luo, don't bully A Rui, otherwise we won't let you go!" Qin Ning said.

Luo Jinyan glanced at the group of girls in the yard, and his eyes fell on Su Rui who was standing with Luo Mingxiang by the pillar under the eaves.

Su Rui raised her head and just met his gaze, she couldn't help being startled, she quickly turned around and went into the room with Luo Mingxiang.

A faint smile flashed across Luo Jinyan's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said to everyone, "I'll write it down."

Only then were the people satisfied, and laughed in unison: "Then we wish Mr. Luo and A Rui a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Luo Jinyan nodded with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
