Chapter 39 Newlyweds
The bride's big sedan chair was directly carried into the Hou's Mansion from the main entrance, and it stopped a hundred steps away from the wedding hall. After getting off the sedan chair, everyone laughed and surrounded Zheng Jingyan and surrounded the sedan chair, watching Xi Niang cover the bride with a red hijab The bride came out, and although the bride was wearing a large wedding dress, the men could still see her beautiful figure, and couldn't help responding to Yuan Cong's booing, asking the groom to carry the bride on his back into the wedding hall, Zheng Jingyan argued that this was against the rules, and everyone The prince refused, and while laughing and shoving, Xi Niang took out a red ribbon and asked the groom to lead the bride away. Then everyone moved out of the way, and the master of ceremonies and Xi Niang led the bride and groom along the corridor covered with red lichens. Walk into the wedding hall, pay homage to the relatives of heaven and earth, and then send the couple into the bridal chamber amidst the blessings of relatives and friends in the hall.

According to the rules of the wedding ceremony, everything was arranged by the bride, and there were two aunts and other relatives and family members watching. Zheng Jingyan had to sit with the bride on the bed for a while, and then picked up the red silk-wrapped scale to remove the red hair on the bride's head. Covered with scarves, the beautifully dressed bride attracted everyone's admiration and applause. The female relatives crowded forward to watch the bride, but Zheng Jingyan was pushed to the outer circle. He looked around and left the new house.

Walking under the gallery, seeing Du Zhong, the long follower, coming from the front, Zheng Jingyan knew that he was here to invite him to accompany the guests. Almost all the princes of the royal family are here today. Under the leadership of Yuan Cong, he will not let him, the groom, easily .

Is this considered to be a marriage and a groom?Zheng Jingyan was startled, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

Du Zhong walked to the side, leaned over and saluted, seeing that the servants were far away, he took another step closer and said in a low voice: "Master Wang, Qinghe who is in front of Miss Wang sent someone to say that Miss Wang is ill. Terrific!"

Zheng Jingyan had no expression on his face, walked forward, and answered, "Got it!"

Wang Yaozhen's pulse was checked two days ago, and there was nothing abnormal, but today she suddenly became very ill, and she didn't need to investigate carefully to know the reason.

Sister Yaozhen, today's wedding ceremony could have been rejected. I am sure that Miss Xia will take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. It was you who advised me again and again that I must never go against the old lady's wishes, and must marry Miss Xia into the family!

You are sad, and I am also sad!

The worship and marriage under the eyes of the public, the witnesses from many parties, the blessings of relatives and friends, and the tears of the ancestors who shed joy, all of these are fully pressed into my heart, and the same rules are followed, and I dare not be negligent. , Li Cheng was sent to the bridal chamber, and there was a feeling of completing a major event in life!
What is this?It wasn't Wang Yaozhen who married, and the promise was not fulfilled, how could it be easy!

Zheng Jingyan sighed slightly, stopped and said to Du Zhong: "I will go to see her later while sending the princes and princes out. If you come back too late and the old lady finds out, you know what to do!"

"Yes!"

Du Zhong took the order to go.

Marquis Rong Ping got married, the wedding banquet was extravagant and extravagant, extremely grand, Zheng Jingyan was the cousin of the fourth prince, Yuan Zhaoyi, and was accompanied by the fourth prince when he was 12 years old, but he got close to the emperor's uncle Yuan Cong, and the other princes wanted to betray him In order to save face, the dignitaries in the city follow suit, follow the trend and follow the etiquette. On that day, the Hou Mansion was full of guests, and the streets leading to the Rongping Hou Mansion were full of traffic. There were BMW luxury cars coming and going, and they were noisy and lively until night fell.

In Xushi, the aroma of wine at the banquet was still strong, most of the guests had dispersed, and the groom had disappeared.

On the wedding night, naturally the bride should not be neglected, the guests tacitly expressed their understanding.

But the bridegroom was not in the new house. In the dead of night, the dragon and phoenix candles were peeling and burning, and the red light shone all over the room. The bride was sitting alone on the gorgeous wedding bed. There was a big round table outside the carved red sandalwood screen. But the food was cold - the groom didn't come back on time to accompany the bride to have a reunion dinner and drink wine, so the bride and the maidservants were sent away.

"My uncle is outrageous! This wedding night is a major event in life, what could be more important than this?"

Cuixiang came in from the outside with a sullen little face, muttering in her mouth, this is the tenth time she ran to the door to listen to the movement, but she didn't hear anything, seeing her girl sitting there waiting in a regular manner, she immediately felt distressed .

"Girl, why don't I ask them to heat up the dishes, so the girl can eat some first?"

Yiqing looked at the flickering candlelight, blinked and said: "No, you gave me some snacks earlier, and I don't feel hungry now. Ask Huayu to prepare hot water. I'm tired and want to take a bath and rest!"

Cuixiang was stunned: "But it's not good to change the wedding clothes before the reunion dinner and the wedding wine are eaten, isn't it?"

Yiqing smiled slightly: "What did that Eucommia tell you just now?"

Cuixiang curled her lips: "He said that Master Hou has something important to do, and he may be coming back very late, so please take care of the young lady..."

"This means: Master Hou has already changed his wedding clothes and left the mansion! The reunion dinner, wedding wine and so on are irrelevant, let me figure it out! I waited until this point because I thought the old people should have rested ——It’s okay, come, help me take off my wedding dress!”

Cuixiang helped her to the dressing table, and said: "It's because our young lady doesn't care about my son-in-law, and even hides it from the old lady for him. If it's someone else, I'm afraid the whole house will know about it." !"

Yiqing smiled and didn't answer her words, she just told her: "Remember, today you can call me aunt or young lady, but tomorrow, you have to change your words unanimously, just like the people in this house, call them Hou Ye and Young Madam!"

Cuixiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Understood, Young Madam!"

The wedding rituals of this dynasty can be quite tossing. Yiqing was tired all day, so she took a comfortable hot bath and asked Cuixiang to help dry her hair, so she sent her down to rest and climbed up to the spacious Marriage bed, fell asleep as soon as the head touched the pillow.

She won't wait until dawn, and she won't worry about whether Zheng Jingyan, the Marquis of Rongping, will come back. From the very beginning, she vaguely understands that she is the passive one in this marriage, and she just needs to obey the arrangements, and the rest will be fine. Don't worry too much!

At this time, Zheng Jingyan was sitting in Wang Yaozhen's boudoir in the backyard of the Wang family. The two sat around a table. On the small square table were three or four light dishes and two porridge bowls. said:

"Brother Jing ate two bowls, and I ate one bowl. It can be seen that when two people are together, everything tastes delicious! First, I was alone, and I felt that the fresh fish porridge was bitter. I couldn't swallow it. Brother Jing came. This white rice porridge tastes so sweet too!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled, he was already hungry, and the wine was toasted at the banquet, so he couldn't eat a bite of food at all, so he just used this as an excuse to pull Wang Yaozhen up to accompany him to have some porridge, and at least coaxed her to eat half a bowl of porridge.

"Sister Yaozhen, you can't do this again in the future. If you don't eat, you will suffer yourself if your body breaks down."

Wang Yaozhen lowered her eyelids to hide the sadness in her eyes, tilted her eyes slightly and raised her eyes with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to what Brother Jing said! It's nothing at first, I'll just lie down, and I'll be fine tomorrow, it's all about this girl Qinghe's meddling Brother Jing, when I was playing under the plum tree a few days ago, I had a feeling. I composed a new song. How about the two of us playing it together? It will also allow me to detect the shortcomings in it!"

Zheng Jingyan nodded in agreement, without any hesitation, Yaozhen's haggard face and desperate expression made his heart ache, and if being with her tonight could relieve her even the slightest bit of sadness, he would also be willing to do it.

Wang Yaozhen tuned the yaoqin and played first, and Zheng Jingyan played the flute after the first piece. Both of them were proficient in music theory. They played together not once or twice, but they had a tacit understanding, and they came to each other three times before stopping.

Wang Yaozhen was very interested, and asked with a smile: "Brother Jing, how about the new song?"

Zheng Jingyan nodded and smiled: "Very good, just a little sad. In this cold season, playing the piano and composing music requires mental strength. If you are not in good health, you may not be able to bear it. You should let it go for a while, and come back to enjoy it when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming next year!"

Wang Yaozhen sighed: "But I have no strengths other than writing lyrics and composing music. I am still in the filial age, so I can't make joyful sounds... Brother Jing can't come to accompany me often after getting married. If even Yaoqin leaves If you are by your side, you really have nothing to accompany you, and you will never have any joy in your life!"

Zheng Jingyan took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the purple bamboo flute, walked slowly to Wang Yaozhen and sat down, looked at her and said, "Sister, just take care of your body, don't think too much about it, as long as I'm in the capital, I'll come here often!"

Wang Yaozhen fluttered her thick black eyelashes, and did not hide the joy in her eyes: "Brother Jing, what about the new lady? Will she be angry?"

Zheng Jingyan pursed his lips, and a cold smile crossed his handsome face: "She was married by an old lady, so I should be very happy to be with her!"

Wang Yaozhen took Zheng Jingyan's hand and tilted her head to look at him: "Brother Jing, is the girl from the Xia family beautiful? How is she better than me?"

Zheng Jingyan sighed and laughed, thinking of the concubines whom the fourth prince Yuan Zhao coaxed him for no reason, they always said the same sentence: "You are more beautiful than her! You are ten times and a hundred times better than her!"

He was thankful that he didn't need to say such goosebump-inducing words like Yuan Zhao did, but he never expected that someone would take the initiative to ask him, and this person was sister Yaozhen!

It turns out that women are all the same, and sister Yaozhen is not immune.

But because he is Yaozhen's sister, he can't be perfunctory, so he can only reply gently: "You are Yaozhen, your beauty is unique, no one can match it!"

Wang Yaozhen's eyes were as bright as water, her smile bloomed, she hugged Zheng Jingyan's arm tightly, buried her face on his shoulder, and said softly, "Brother Jing, you said that you don't want other women to have children for you, in the future we... I will bear you many, many children!"

Zheng Jingyan nodded: "Okay! Sister Yaozhen, it's getting late, I have to go back, the couple will get up early tomorrow morning, the old lady will send someone over to check..."

Wang Yaozhen didn't move, and she put more force on her hands, her laughter turned into sobs, Zheng Jingyan patted her lightly a few times, and said softly:

"I will come to see you again... Tomorrow you have a good meal, and I will send you some fresh cakes at night, which are newly made in the house, including your favorite mung bean cake, chestnut cake and sweet-scented osmanthus. I left in a hurry tonight superior!"

Wang Yaozhen sniffled, then slowly let go of him, choked up and said, "Brother Jing, I can't bear you...you must come!"

"Wait, I'll be here tomorrow night!"
