Spring is warm and fragrant

117 The Big Wedding 2
The welcoming team surrounded Chu Xing and came to the gate of the inner courtyard.

The girl who worked so hard to raise will be snatched away by someone else's family, and the woman's family will naturally make things difficult for the groom. Therefore, Chu Xing has to pass the test of the female relatives after passing the test of the Lu family's men.Xi Niang asked Chu Sui and others to wait outside, and she led the bridegroom in alone.

The first level was tested by Lu Jinyu, who asked Chu Xing what kind of tea his wife likes to drink the most. On the tray held by the little maid next to her was a bowl of Tieguanyin, a bowl of jasmine tea, and a bowl of Huiming tea. If so, you have to drink all three bowls.The test shows that Chu Xing's understanding of the bride is much more elegant than drinking.

The appearance of the little girl bowing her head and talking softly appeared in her mind, Chu Xing smiled, and took a sip of the bowl of Huiming tea directly, with an elegant demeanor.

Lu Jinyu let it go in surprise, but she didn't know the past of the two, so she believed that Chu Xing was deceived.

Lu Huaiyu was in charge of the second round. Three boxes of rouge were placed on the tray held by the little maid next to her, which were sweet-scented osmanthus, rose, and plum blossom. Chu Xing asked Lu Mingyu to pick out the one that Lu Mingyu liked the most. A red dot was poked in the middle of Chu Xing's forehead, which looked like the dot on the forehead of a golden boy and a jade girl in a New Year picture.

Chu Xing looked down at the rouge, recalling the faint scent of roses he smelled when he hugged her, he smelled them separately and picked out the rose rouge accurately.

Lu Huaiyu bit her lip, and whispered to him when she let him go, "You must have secretly hugged Ah Nuan!"

Chu Xing pretended not to hear, and happily followed Xi Niang to the door of the inner room. After passing this pass, he could see the bride.

It stands to reason that this should be caused by the bride's sisters, but the third girl, Lu Yan, is still in filial piety, and it is not convenient to attend the wedding banquet, so the Lu family invited cousin Lu Mingyu, the daughter of the first daughter of Zhuang Wang's mansion, Xiao Xuan, to come.Xiao Xuan was influenced by her mother and concubine Youshi, so she didn't like Lu Mingyu very much, but on the day of great joy, she still knew how to measure, hiding behind the door and writing a question with a smile: "Please use three idioms to praise the beauty of the bride." .”

As soon as the words fell, the female relatives inside and outside the door laughed softly.

Brother Nian, Brother Heng, Brother Chong, and Brother Ying, who were young, had finished watching the excitement in the front yard, and now they ran over to look at the people in the backyard. When they heard the topic, the three older brothers, Heng, looked at each other. Gu winked and smiled, Brother Nian thought about it seriously, and said crisply: "The beauty of the country is heavenly!"

In the morning he heard Xi Niang praise his sister so much.

In the inner room, Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing, but just as the corners of her mouth turned up, she heard a familiar cold voice and followed her younger brother: "The beauty of the country is heavenly."

The immature childish voice made people laugh, and when Chu Xing's deep voice was replaced, Lu Mingyu's face immediately burned up, as if Chu Xing was praising her right next to her ear.

"Brother Nian, shut up!" Xiao Xuan shouted angrily.

Brother Heng covered his brother's mouth to prevent him from making trouble.

Chu Xing glanced at the two brothers-in-law, thought for a while, and continued: "Slim and graceful, pink and jade carved, fairy-like and jade-colored."

Get rid of the reminder of my brother-in-law, and report three in one breath. What's more rare is that each of them has the word "jade" in it. I don't know if I just thought of these by chance, or I added Lu Mingyu's "jade" on purpose.

The female family members in the room were a little stunned, the eldest lady was the first to react, and said happily: "It is said that our fourth uncle is invincible in martial arts, but in fact it should be both civil and military. Look at how much fourth uncle can praise others. , It’s much better than the closed moon and shameful flowers, sinking fish and wild goose that I thought of.”

While boasting, he came to open the door.

The door curtain was opened, revealing the tall and straight figure of the bridegroom official outside. His bright red wedding dress set off his white face as if carved from beautiful jade, which was a little more elegant and gentle than the usual Leng Jun.Xiao Shi and the others have all seen Chu Xing, but today is the first time they saw Chu Xing wearing such a flattering color, they couldn't help but stare blankly for a few moments.

Especially Mrs. Zhu, she has always thought that her son is the most beautiful man in the capital, and her grandson-in-law can only be ranked second. Change.But at the next moment, Zhu suddenly realized that this grandson-in-law is too mighty, and his body can almost compete with her husband 30 years ago. Thinking of the hardships she suffered that night in the bridal chamber, Zhu immediately broke into a cold sweat for her granddaughter.

This man is strong and has the benefits of being strong, it's just the first night...

Mrs. Zhu looked at her granddaughter lovingly.

Lu Mingyu had already been supported by Xi Niang to stand up, turned around slowly, and immediately felt a scorching gaze.

Not worried about her grandmother, but Chu Xing.

Chu Xing looked at the opposite bride almost greedily. The red hijab covered her cheeks, and the cumbersome and loose wedding dress covered her slim figure. He could only see that she seemed to have grown taller, but then he thought it might be Lu Mingyu's headgear. Because of the phoenix crown, even though he couldn't see anything and knew that she was under the hijab, Chu Xing couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

The last time we met was at Anguo Temple, almost a whole year ago.

The bridegroom was dumbfounded, and the bride who was the best at stirring up the atmosphere immediately laughed and joked: "Master Guo is dumbfounded now? What can we do if we lift the hijab at that moment? Our bride is beautiful and beautiful, pink and jade-carved. Such a beautiful woman, seeing her true face, will the Duke not be able to move his feet and forget to toast the bar?"

She was joking about Chu Xing, but Lu Mingyu was about to burn.

The hijab shook slightly, and Chu Xing seemed to see her shy face under the hijab. In order to see her earlier, Chu Xing returned to his senses in time, bowed to Zhu and the others, and then followed Xi Niang to the bride, holding the big red silk ball in his hand. Give one to Lu Mingyu, and he will lead her to bid farewell to Lu Rong and others.

Zhu and Xiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went one step ahead and waited in the front hall.

Facing his grandson-in-law, Lu Zhan had a sullen face, and said concisely: "The reputation of our Lu family's domineering has spread. Since the Duke still dares to marry Ah Nuan, if he still dares to bully Ah Nuan in the future, don't blame the old man for being rude."

These words were harsh enough, and the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant.

Mrs. Zhu cast a displeased glance at her husband, and said in a soft voice: "Shijin, Ah Nuan is younger than you, and we have been pampering you at home. Today, grandma entrusts Ah Nuan to you. I hope you love her as much as we do." , if she does something badly, since she is young, please be more considerate."

Chu Xing knelt in front of the two elders, and said solemnly: "Grandfather and grandmother, don't worry, Shi Jin will definitely live up to the high hopes of the two elders."

Zhu Shi nodded again and again.

The bride and groom went to bid farewell to Lu Rong and his wife.

The father had already said the harsh words, Lu Rong looked at his son-in-law, and said with deep meaning: "Shijin, you are the god of war and a hero of our Daqi, I believe you will take good care of Ah Nuan, I only hope that your husband and wife will grow old together, A lifetime of success.”

Xiao's eyes were wet, thinking of her daughter's tragic experience in her previous life, her voice choked up, "Shijin, you must protect Ah Nuan and take care of yourself."

Protect her?

Chu Xing's heart sank.Lu Mingyu told his father-in-law and mother-in-law everything about his past life, so the two elders specially wished their husband and wife a safe and healthy old age, instead of saying things like husband and wife love.Chu Xing died in battle in his previous life, but he never knew what happened to Lu Mingyu after his death. His mother-in-law used the word "protection". Could it be that Lu Mingyu died in that life?

Suspicions arose, Chu Xing looked more solemn, and kowtowed: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry, Shijin will stay by Ah Nuan's side in this life, to protect her in everything, and to be happy for the rest of her life." He didn't dare to speak too clearly.

It was what Lu Rong and his wife wanted to hear most.

Lu Rong stepped forward to help him up, squeezed Chu Xing's shoulders hard, then turned around, walked to her daughter and squatted down, ready to carry her into the sedan chair.In a small area under the hijab, suddenly there was the back of his father, Lu Mingyu couldn't hold it back anymore, tears fell down and hit the ground.

With Xi Niang's support, she tried to straighten her head, slowly lay on her father's back, and hugged her father's shoulders with both hands.In her previous life, her father carried her on her back, but at that time her father was thin and his eyes were dull, and because she misunderstood her mother, she was heartbroken by her father and committed suicide, so she didn't even say a word to her father when she got married.

She used to hate God for taking her mother away, but now she is grateful to God for giving her a chance to make up for her regret.

"Daddy, I'm leaving. You have to take good care of your body. Don't stay up late reading. If your eyes feel uncomfortable one day, tell your daughter. I'll come back and massage Daddy's acupoints." She lowered her head, and tears fell on her father's broad back. , "Daddy, mother has a big temper, don't be angry with her anymore, mother has to take care of Brother Heng and the others every day, it's very tiring... and grandma, you can spend more time with her when you have time, grandma likes daddy the most, by the way Accompany aunt..."

Twitching, the thin voice floated into Lu Rong's ears word for word.

Lu Rong's eyes were sour, and he calmed down for a moment before he said, "Daddy knows that Ah Nuan doesn't have to worry about the family, it's enough to take care of himself."

Lu Mingyu choked with sobs and said "um".

Lu Rong looked at the bridal sedan chair in front of her, and the moment she let her daughter in, it was as if she had given up the jewel in her palm that had been treasured for 15 years.

The car curtain fell, and the wedding party was about to go back.

Lu Rong glared at the man who took his daughter away, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes: "Remember what you said today."

"I will never forget." Chu Xing said solemnly, and finally bid farewell to the elders of the Lu family. He walked to his Yechen horse and turned on his back.

Xi Niang walked up to the sedan chair, signaled that it was time to get up, and reminded the bride in a low voice to sit still.

Lu Mingyu had just finished wiping the corners of her eyes, when she heard that she supported the sedan chair with one hand, the sedan chair moved and immediately lifted up, jolting gently, and when she got used to the jolting, Lu Mingyu let go of her hand, unconsciously rubbing the red-glazed vase in her arms with her index finger.In the first half of the journey, all she had in her heart was her reluctance to her natal family, but in the second half, Lu Mingyu began to get nervous.

Amidst the envious voices of the common people, the sedan chair turned into Huarong Lane, where ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

The guests of the Chu family stood in front of the Duke's mansion, from King Qing, King Rui, and the third prince, down to the Shenshu camp, and the guards who had not entered the imperial army. There are ten miles of red makeup behind the sedan chair, and the first one is a pair of child jade Ruyi bestowed by Emperor Huihui of Ming Dynasty. They are even more magnificent than when Xiao Shi married into the Lu family.

When the sedan chair landed, Chu Xing gently kicked the sedan door, and took the bride out.

Seeing the bride, the guests immediately became noisy.Lu Mingyu was extremely fortunate to wear a hijab on her head, so she was less nervous when she couldn't see anyone, and slowly followed Chu Xing, the newlyweds went to the hall to worship heaven and earth.Because of her rebirth, Lu Mingyu was even more in awe of God. When she worshiped the heaven and the earth, she was extremely devout. When it was the husband and wife's turn to worship each other, and seeing Chu Xingxi's robes on the opposite side, Lu Mingyu became nervous and sweet again.

After worshiping heaven and earth, the bride and groom moved to the new house.

Lu Mingyu nervously clenched the red silk ball in her hand.This is not the first time she has come to Duke Chu's mansion, but it is the first time she has come to Chu Xing's Dingfeng Hall, which is also a place in the Duke's mansion that she has never been to in two lifetimes.

The red silk was pulled by her, and Chu Xing felt it. He looked ahead, but gently pulled the wedding silk that was being held by the two separately.

An imperceptible vibration came, and Lu Mingyu's heart trembled. Did he do it on purpose?

But Lu Mingyu was too embarrassed to probe, and continued to move forward honestly.

The more nervous you are, the shorter the distance seems to be. It seems that after a few steps, a group of people came to the new house.

Heartbroken, Lu Mingyu stepped into the main room, turned into the outer room, and came to the inner room. Looking at the new bed covered with dragon and phoenix quilts, Lu Mingyu turned around almost stiffly, and then sat down numbly.Xi Niang smiled and said some auspicious words, and then signaled the servant girl to bring the golden scales over, and she was about to lift the hijab.

All the female relatives in the room stared at the bride expectantly.

Lu Mingyu's small hands were hidden in loose sleeves, and they were clenched tighter and tighter.Under the hijab, she saw Chu Xing walking over unhurriedly, stopped, and then, a golden scale rod came over.The golden scales are very stable, and they don't even shake, implying the calmness of the master. Lu Mingyu was instantly flustered, isn't Chu Xing nervous?Could it be that he was as steady as usual on the wedding day?In the previous life, Chu Sui picked up the hijab, and Jin Chenggan visibly trembled...

All kinds of thoughts popped up, but before they settled down, his eyes lit up.

Lu Mingyu instinctively closed her eyes.

Following her movements, the golden scales on her head that had just reached the forehead and hadn't left the phoenix crown also froze.

Chu Xing lowered his head, staring at her without blinking his phoenix eyes, without even moving his eyelashes.

He hadn't seen her for a year, and it was so long that her face in his dreams was blurred and unreal, so after waking up from the dream, he missed her more and more, and at night he was disappointed if he couldn't dream, but he couldn't be satisfied when he dreamed of her.Today, on the way to welcome the bride, on the way back and forth, Chu Xing was imagining the moment when he picked up the hijab. He knew that she must be extremely beautiful, but the bride sitting in front of him at this moment, his bride, was tens of millions more beautiful than he imagined. point.

Lu Mingyu's makeup today is not heavy. As Xi Niang said, some people will be more beautiful when they paint their eyebrows and eyes, or even completely change their appearance, but Lu Mingyu is born with thin eyebrows and vermilion lips. of brilliance.Just at this time, she sat there shyly, her jade-like face was flushed like a peach blossom because of her shyness, her natural beauty was unmatched by any makeup.

Probably because she felt that she had closed her eyes for too long, the bride's eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, slowly blooming like epiphyllum, she lifted them up bit by bit, and mustered up her courage to look at the flower appreciator in front of her.Her eyes resembled peach blossoms, her pupils were like rain and dew, she looked at him timidly, and then she immediately lowered her eyes like seeing a stranger for the first time, constricting her most agile beauty, and only showing him how she made petals cheeks.

Chu Xing's throat rolled, and he held the scale beam tightly with his right hand, and then he struggled to suppress the urge to lift her chin.

He couldn't get enough of it, and wished he could squat down to have a look. Princess Qing coughed lightly behind her, and teased with a smile: "Brother, we've been waiting here for a long time, why don't you show us sister-in-law too?"

"That's right, Grandpa Guo still has time to watch it tonight, so let's satisfy our hunger first."

All the family members in the house laughed.

Lu Mingyu lowered his head even lower, and Chu Xing got closer, and saw that the skin around her neckline was covered with a layer of light pink.

His heartbeat quickened, and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He lifted her hijab neatly, and then stepped aside to show his bride to everyone.

"My sister-in-law is so beautiful..." Chu Ying walked to her sister-in-law, her eyes were full of surprise.

Lu Mingyu always lowered her eyes, she didn't need to pretend, she was already ashamed, Chu Xing alone was enough to make her burn.When drinking Hejin wine, Lu Mingyu didn't dare to look at him, and never wanted to make a joke.

"Raise your arms higher, Mrs. Guo, the Duke can barely reach the wine!"

Xi Niang's voice was close to her ears, Lu Mingyu panicked, and raised her eyes for the first time since Chu Xing sat down.It turned out that because her arms were placed low, Chu Xing's arms were interlaced with hers. In order to take care of her, he could only drink with his head down, but he was too tall...

Lu Mingyu looked over in embarrassment, and unexpectedly bumped into his star-bright phoenix eyes, as if he had been looking at her all the time.

Lu Mingyu immediately lowered her head, but raised her arms.

The bride blushed and refused to look at the groom, but the groom couldn't bear to move his eyes away from the bride's face for a moment. No matter how indifferent and rigid the Lord of the Country was, he obviously loved the bride very much.The female relatives watching the ceremony saw it, some wholeheartedly blessed, and some stared at Chu Xing's handsome side face, unavoidably a little envious.

With a good family background, good skills, and a look of a god, how many can you find in the capital?
No wonder Chu Xing got married so late. It turned out that he had high vision and wanted to marry the most beautiful girl in the capital.

After the ceremony at the new house, Chu Xing went to the front yard to entertain the guests. Lu Mingyu ate some food at noon accompanied by the female family members of the Chu family, and stayed alone in the new house in the afternoon.It was hot in May, and Lu Mingyu was nervous again. She was sweating all over. She took a bath before taking a break, and when she woke up, she ordered someone to prepare water to take a bath. Then she changed into a bright red homely dress and continued to wait for the groom.

The chatter of people in the front yard made it seem more and more quiet here.

Lu Mingyu sat on the bed, looked at the bright red mandarin duck pillow on the head of the bed, and stroked the dragon and phoenix brocade quilt with her fingers, her face was getting hotter and hotter.

Chu Xing is so stupid, even a kiss hurts her, at night, will it...

Chu Xing's cold face and tall figure came to mind, Lu Mingyu shivered involuntarily, feeling hot and scared.

But no matter how afraid, it is still dark.

Dingfengtang front yard.

Xiao Congjian, Xiao Huan, Lu Jiaping, Lu Jiaan, Xu Chengrui, He Yu, who tried to persuade them to drink, were all overwhelmed by Chu Xing.King Qing was his sister-in-law, so he also poured Chu Xing a few cups because he was close after all, while King Rui only toasted and congratulated him modestly and politely.The Shenshu Camp and the Forbidden Army sent their most drinkable colleagues to pour wine on their behalf, and they were also defeated by Chu Xing.

"Grandpa, have you ever been drunk?" Someone asked wailingly.

Chu Xing smiled but said nothing.In fact, after drinking so much, although he was not so drunk that he couldn't walk, he was still sixty percent drunk, but Chu Xing's face didn't change when he was drunk, and he didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Brother, let me offer you another bowl..." Just when everyone was about to give up and let Chu Xing go to the bridal chamber, someone suddenly stood up unsteadily, poured himself a bowl of wine, and then walked towards Chu Xing with drunken eyes , it was Chu Sui who was the first to get drunk and had already taken a nap.

Usually it is the brothers who help to stop the wine, but tonight Chu Sui kept feeding his elder brother with all his might. The guests were astonished, but they booed accordingly.

Chu Xing looked at his cousin who was standing in front of him, smelling of alcohol, and facing Chu Sui's unwilling and painful eyes, he turned his head and ordered Wei Teng to pour the wine.

Wei Teng thoughtfully only poured half a bowl.

"Full." Chu Xing said calmly.

Wei Teng quickly obeyed.

Chu Xing picked up the big bowl steadily and held it up to his cousin.

Chu Sui looked at his bowl, then at his elder brother, suddenly smiled, raised the wine bowl, and poured it into his mouth.He let go, but he couldn't control his heart. Seeing the woman he likes marrying his elder brother, watching his elder brother doing well among the guests, thinking that his elder brother will be a real couple with her at night, Chu Sui's heart twitched. It's like being hollowed out, empty, only drinking, drinking non-stop, so I don't have to think about her, I can't help thinking about her.

After drinking, Chu Sui staggered and fell down.

Chu Xing threw away the wine bowl and reached out to support him in time.

Chu Sui raised his head with difficulty and tried to open his eyes. When he saw his brother, he suddenly cried, and looked at Chu Xing with a sad and helpless look: "Brother, why is it you? If it wasn't for you, I would definitely marry she……"

The voice of a drunk person is weak and slurred. Even Chu Xing can only recognize it because he knows the inside story.

Looking at his cousin who fell asleep, Chu Xing stood there for a long time before ordering Agui to send his cousin back to his room to rest.Watching his cousin disappear, Chu Xing took a deep breath, exhaling the last trace of guilt towards his cousin, he bowed his hands to the guests, and rarely showed a little smile: "Everyone, take it easy, I'm too drunk, so let's go ahead. "

"Fuck your drinking power!"

One sentence angered everyone, and they rushed over to beat him.

Chu Xing quickly avoided, leaving Wei Teng and Fan Yi to entertain the guests, and he strode towards the new house.

She was there and he couldn't wait.
