Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 266 Welcoming the bride
On February 16th, with a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze, the Zhao family was filled with joy and lanterns. Zhao Wangshu was called to dress up early in the morning.

Under the skillful hands of Granny Xi, Zhao Wangshu's bun was meticulously combed, and she wore the phoenix crown sent by the Yun family, which made her look even more dignified and beautiful.

Grandma Xi also drew a beautiful albizia flower on her forehead, which symbolized the newlyweds' eternal love and eternal unity.

Zhao Wangshu put on the wedding dress that the embroiderer had carefully embroidered for her. The red brocade was embroidered with a pattern of a golden phoenix wearing peonies, which was luxurious yet elegant.

The wedding dress was bright and eye-catching, like the rising sun, making Zhao Wangshu's skin whiter and more delicate.

Mrs. Zhao Li walked into the room carrying a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup, and said gently: "Yue'er, come here, drink this bowl of soup."

"Thank you, grandma." Zhao Wangshu took the bowl and drank it in small sips.

Hong Chang brought warm water and helped her rinse her mouth.

The sound of firecrackers came faintly from outside, and the wedding team had arrived.

Lady Qiao quickly handed the fan with embroidered flowers and dancing butterflies under the moon into the hands of Zhao Wangshu.

After a while, Zhao Yin came in and said, "Sister, my eldest brother is sending you off to get married."

"Thank you, brother." Zhao Wangshu lay on his back with the help of the maid.

Zhao Yin carried his sister on his back, walked to the wedding room step by step, and placed Zhao Wangshu on the wedding pier.

In the front, Yun Hao laid a memorial ceremony for the geese, kowtowed to Zhao Cheng and Zhao Li, and entered the wedding room to pick up the bride.

Yun Hao walked into the wedding room and saw Zhao Wangshu sitting on the wedding pier, wearing a wedding dress and a phoenix crown. She was very beautiful. He walked forward and bowed deeply to Zhao Wangshu, "Madam, I'm here to pick you up."

Zhao Wangshu revealed his fan and looked at the more handsome man in the wedding dress in front of him. He raised the corners of his lips and hummed softly.

Hong Chang and Lv Zhi helped Zhao Wangshu up on the left and right, and stepped back half a step to let the bride and groom walk side by side.

When they arrived at the wedding hall, the young couple knelt in front of Zhao Cheng and his wife, saluted and offered tea. Zhao Cheng's eyes were slightly red and he said: "When you marry into the Yun family, you must serve your mother-in-law well. You must not go against the wishes of the elders in the family. You must teach your husband and raise your children well. ”

"My daughter will obey her father's teachings." Zhao Wangshu bowed his head and said.

Zhao Cheng looked at Yun Hao, "My daughter has been pampered since she was a child in her parents' family. She is a little willful. If I do anything wrong, please forgive me."

Yun Hao solemnly said: "Father-in-law, please rest assured that I will treat Wang Shu well all my life and will not let her suffer any injustice."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Cheng nodded happily and handed a jade Ruyi into Zhao Wangshu's hand.

Zhao Wangshu took it and handed it to Lady Qiao.

Hong Chang and Lv Zhi helped her up, knelt down in front of Zhao Li again, and offered tea.
Zhao Li said with a tearful voice: "My son, you will be an adult when you get married, and you can no longer be as willful as before. You must take good care of yourself, and you must take good care of Yun Hao."

"A daughter must obey her mother's teachings."

Mrs. Zhao Li took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Zhao Wangshu's wrist. "My son, jade keeps you safe. I wish you a safe and smooth life."

Zhao Wangshu's eyes were slightly red and he kowtowed again: "Thank you, mother."

Amidst the congratulations from relatives and friends around them, Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu walked out side by side. After leaving the door, Zhao Wangshu got on the sedan chair and Yun Hao got on the horse.

The gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers were blasting, and the procession of welcoming the bride slowly moved forward towards the Yun family.

When the wedding team arrived at the Yun family, amidst the sound of firecrackers, Grandma Xi helped Zhao Wangshu get out of the sedan chair, "A good daughter from the Zhao family is a virtuous and virtuous woman. If she marries into the Yun family today, she will surely be of the same mind and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."

There was a brazier at the door, and Granny Xi helped her step across the brazier, "The bride stepped onto the brazier to let go of the old and welcome the new. I wish the bride and groom a prosperous married life and a prosperous life."

Then Zhao Wangshu stepped over a saddle, and Grandma Xi continued to read: "It's safe and sound when you cross the saddle. I wish the bride and groom a healthy life, without any disaster or harm."

After completing these ceremonies, Zhao Wangshu was introduced into the Yun family's wedding hall. The hall was decorated with joy, and Mrs. Yun had a smile on her lips, looking at the newlyweds who came in, her eyes full of joy.

"One bows to heaven and earth, the other bows to the high hall, and the husband and wife bow to each other."

"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber."

A group of maids and women gathered around to escort Zhao Wangshu and Yun Hao to the backyard. They wound around and passed through several verandas and four doors before entering the new yard.

Zhao Wangshu sat down on the wedding bed. Grandma Xi smiled and said, "Please ask the groom to recite a fan poem."

Yun Hao coughed lightly, opened his thin lips, and began to recite a poem about fanning: "The spring breeze blows on the face and the peach blossoms smile, and the bright moon shines on people like jade. The two hearts are in harmony with each other, and the mandarin ducks sleep together for a lifetime. The red makeup reflects the love like water. , The green sleeves dance lightly like a dream. From now on, we will grow old together, and our love will last forever. "

The bride must be reserved and the groom must recite three or four poems about fanning before he can put down the fan.

In fact, Zhao Wangshu wanted to put it down. She was a little tired after lifting it for so long, so she might as well put it on her head.

Yun Hao recited three more poems about fanning, and then Zhao Wangshu took away the fan and pursed his lips at him with a smile.

"Groom, please take a seat." Grandma Xi said.

Yun Hao sat down next to Zhao Wangshu, and Grandma Xi tied the corners of their clothes into a knot.

The maid came over with a tray, on which was placed a red jade-carved double-happiness cup. Grandma Xi smiled and said, "Invite the newlyweds to a cup of wine."

The two of them each picked up a glass of wine. Yun Hao stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Zhao Wangshu's wrist, his eyes shining with joy and expectation.

Zhao Wangshu looked at him, his eyes sparkling and tender as water.

Their arms were intertwined, and they drank the wine in the glass with each other's hand. The wine was as sweet and mellow as their mood at the moment, sweet and warm.

"I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and a son soon." Grandma Xi's blessing rang out. ,

The following ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner, and the newlyweds cooperated honestly.

The maid brought the small bowl with dumplings to Yun Hao. Yun Hao took it, scooped out a dumpling with a spoon, and fed it to Zhao Wangshu's mouth.

Zhao Wangshu took a small bite, and she knew it was a raw dumpling.

Grandma Xi smiled and asked, "Bride, are you giving birth?"

"Sheng." Zhao Wangshu said.

Grandma Xi faced the outside and raised her voice: "The bride wants to give birth."

The children waiting outside the house were laughing and running and shouting: "The bride says she is giving birth, the bride is saying she is giving birth."

After that, Yun Hao was about to go out to entertain guests, "Wang Shu, I'll be right back."

"Drink less." Zhao Wangshu said softly.

Yun Hao nodded, gave her a reassuring smile, and strode out of the new house.

Grandma Xi took most of the maids with her and then withdrew, leaving only Hong Chang and Lv Zhi to accompany Zhao Wangshu.

"Hurry and help me get the phoenix crown and change my clothes." Zhao Wangshu said, holding his neck.

After she took off her phoenix crown and put on light clothes, the maid from Yun Mansion came with a food box and said, "Young mistress, these are the fresh meat wontons that the young master asked the kitchen to prepare for you."

Throughout the whole day, Zhao Wangshu drank a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup, and she was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. She finished a large bowl of fresh meat wontons in one go.
