Chapter 529 Yue Ruyan Enters the Door

Time passed quickly, and soon it was January 21st of the second year of Yong'an, the day when Chen Mo took in a concubine.

In fact, taking a concubine is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is just like buying and selling an item.

At that time, Xia Zhiqing and her sister, as well as Xiao Yunxi, Liang Xue and others, had never held a wedding, so Chen Mo simply gave them a status and that was it.

The reason why taking a concubine today is so grand is because Chen Mo had already promised Yue Ruyan eight large sedan chairs.

The cold wave has not yet receded, but the streets in the city are bustling with people, all kinds of stalls filling the roads, and pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream, creating a scene of prosperity.

Xiangyang City is indeed prosperous, because Linzhou is currently the most stable and orderly province in the world, which naturally attracts wealthy businessmen from all over the world to do business and settle down.

As the economy flourished, Xiangyang City naturally had money for construction. Later, as Chen Mo's fame and power grew, it also attracted aristocratic families and literati to come, resulting in more and more houses being built and more and more shops being opened in Xiangyang City.

In just two or three years, the population of Xiangyang city alone exceeded 500,000, and is still increasing.

Today is Chen Mo's wedding, and both businessmen and common people want to have a good start.

Yue family.

This is a house with two entrances, front and back. It is decorated with lights and colorful decorations inside and outside, exuding a festive atmosphere. Neighbors all come out of their houses and stretch their necks.

Mother Yue was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She was standing in her daughter's room, dressed festively, and said with a smile: "Ruyan, you must respect the men when you enter the Chen family. The Chen family is different from our Yue family. It's not women who are in charge, and men care about their reputation."

At this moment, Yue Ruyan was sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a red wedding dress. A young woman with her parents and children were there, removing the hair on Yue Ruyan's face and trimming her forehead and sideburns, which was called "opening the face".

Hearing her mother's words, Yue Ruyan, who was already a little nervous, couldn't help but say angrily: "Mom, Ruyan understands, you have said this more than once."

"Mother knows that you don't like to hear me say it too much, but this is the rule. You are a new married woman, so as a mother, I will explain it to you clearly, so as to avoid being impolite and letting the Chen family say that there is no one in our Yue family to teach us."

Mother Yue came to Yue Ruyan and said with a smile, "In addition to respecting men, you also have to respect the head of the backyard. She is the legitimate daughter of the Wu family in Jiangdong and has support. There is also the one called Han Anniang, who is the sister-in-law of the Duke of Anguo. In addition to these two people, there is also the Princess of Huai, who is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. Apart from these three people, Ruyan, you don't have to give way to the others."

Apart from these three people, in Yue's mother's view, they are all small families. If they are not impoverished and have no one to support them, the Yue family can afford to offend them.

Yue Ruyan nodded slightly.

Mother Yue smiled and said, "From now on, I can be considered as the Duke's mother-in-law. Originally, seeing that you were getting older and older, Ruyan, I didn't think about finding a son-in-law, but now you have to get married, and we have to separate."

She, who was originally chatting and laughing, began to wipe away her tears.

The Yue family is headed by women, so the women of the Yue family do not marry outside the family. Therefore, Yue's mother never thought that Yue Ruyan would marry into another family. Therefore, even though her daughter is older, Yue's mother is not in a hurry for her marriage.

But when the time really came, Yue Mu still couldn't bear to let go.

Yue Ruyan looked at her tearful mother, her eyes flickered, and a trace of sadness arose in her heart.

Just then, a burst of joyful sounds was heard outside the house.

The sound of servants laughing could be heard outside the house, and then a servant came in holding a red handkerchief and said with a smile, "Madam, Master, the sedan chair from the Anguo Mansion is here to pick up the bride."

At this moment, outside Yue's house, there were loud gongs and drums, and endless joy, and the wedding procession was even more grand.

Only some spectators who didn't know the details were talking about it.

"Duke Anguo is taking a concubine, isn't he? Why is he treating it like he's getting married, and sending her in a sedan chair carried by eight people?"

"You don't know this, do you know who the concubine is?"

"Who?"

"The current head of the Longyou Yue clan, whose ancestor was the king of the Nanyue Kingdom, is a top third-rank warrior. Now that she is married to our Duke Anguo, even if she is a concubine, the ceremony will be grand."

"Hiss, no wonder, with this status, even the Duke of Anguo would have to show respect to him."

"No need to show respect, now it is the Yue Clan that is trying to curry favor with our Duke Anguo." "Duke Anguo is really amazing. The princesses and princesses of the current dynasty, even the former princess and queen, are all Duke Anguo's women now. How enviable."

"..."

"She's coming out, she's coming out, the bride is coming out." Just as the people were talking about it, a group of people came out from the gate of Yue's house.

The people were all looking forward to seeing the bride's beauty. Although they knew it was impossible, they still wanted to join in the fun.

Even when the bride got into the sedan chair and drove away, they all watched her go.

On the other side, the Anguo Mansion.

backyard.

Chen Mo didn't need to go to pick up the bride himself, he was just waiting leisurely.

At this moment, Xia Zhining walked in, saying jokingly, "Eleventh Aunt is here."

When Chen Mo heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Indeed, after Yue Ruyan came in, the queue would be eleventh.

"Zhi Ning." Xia Zhiqing glared at her sister and asked her to be serious.

"I'll deal with you later at the party." Chen Mo glared at Xia Zhining, then said to Xia Zhiqing, "You guys wait here, I'm coming over."

Originally, when taking a concubine, one did not need to worship heaven and earth, but only needed to offer tea to the wife.

But the eight-man sedan chair has already left, so this one doesn’t matter.

Come to the front yard hall.

Wu Mi was sitting on the armchair in the hall at this moment, also dressed in formal attire. However, as she was pregnant, even if she sat solemnly, she gave people an approachable feeling.

"People are coming."

Yi Shiyan walked into the hall with a smile.

Wu Mi looked intently and saw a tall maid supporting a bride wearing a red wedding dress and a red veil, walking into the hall.

Wu Mi said, "Go and see if your husband has arrived."

Yi Shiyan was about to call when he heard a familiar voice.

"Mi'er, I'm here."

Chen Mo, dressed in groom's attire, walked over from the side hall.

Yi Shiyan was even more excited than Chen Mo, and hurriedly said, "Husband, go and hold the bride's hand and worship heaven and earth."

Chen Mo nodded, looked at Yue Ruyan who was wearing a red wedding dress, walked over, and took Yue Ruyan's handkerchief from the maid.

At this moment, Chen Mo could clearly feel Yue Ruyan's delicate body tremble.

"Relax, I won't eat you." Chen Mo laughed softly.

After a simple worship of heaven and earth, Wu Mi's personal maid came to Yue Ruyan with a cup of tea.

Under Chen Mo's guidance, Yue Ruyan took the teacup from the maid, held it with both hands, and said to Wu Mi, "Sister Mi, please have some tea."

These words seemed to have used up all of Yue Ruyan's strength.
