Chapter 582 Wedding
Before dawn, Shanshan was awakened by a nightmare.
It was so scary.
It was hard to tell whether it was more frightening that she wanted to destroy everything or that she had killed chickens all night.
"Young Master, you woke up really early today. I was just about to wake you up." The maid took out clothes and helped Shanshan get up.
"Today is the second young master's wedding. The mansion has not slept all night to prepare for the wedding."
"Madam ordered you and Miss Chaochao to wear festive clothes." The maid picked him up and carried him out after packing everything up.
"Do you have a toothache? Why do you always cover your cheek?" The maid was puzzled. He covered his face without saying a word, and she just thought he had a toothache.
Shanshan had a toothache, but she didn't dare to say it.
She just shook her head.
Red lanterns were lit everywhere in the mansion, and baskets of steamed buns with the word "happiness" printed on them were carried to the city gate.
Xu Shiyun also prepared several large baskets of copper coins, so that the common people or beggars who came to congratulate could get some.
Lu Chaochao was wearing a festive dress. At the age of five and a half, her hair had grown longer. Yushu had tied her into a delicate bun.
She lay at the door of the backyard and took out a bag of silver from her pocket.
"Well, change it into loose silver and share it with my younger brothers."
"My second brother is very happy, give my younger brothers some wine and food."
The beggar at the door was so happy that his eyes were wide open. He weighed it and thought, wow, it was a generous red envelope.
"Thank you Sang Biao, thank you boss..."
Lu Chaochao narrowed her eyes and waved her hand, then walked into the house.
It was not yet dawn, but the brothers who came to help pick up the bride had already arrived at the Lu Mansion early.
Lu Zhengyue wore a wedding gown and toasted his friends with tea instead of wine: "Today, I will trouble you brothers to pick up the bride."
When picking up the bride, you have to go through five levels and kill six generals, which is the time to compete with your strength.
"General Lu, don't worry. Your elder brother and the third brother are the top scholars. They can handle the literature well."
"We brothers will take care of the martial arts. Don't worry."
"Yes, yes, yes. If you are in trouble, I am still here..." Li Zixi, with a pale face, popped his head out.
When he came, everyone dispersed.
"Li Tanhua, why are you here? Come on, open a separate table for Li Tanhua."
"Li Tanhua, it's not that we dislike you. It's just that your luck..." As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy general closest to him had a pile of white bird droppings on his head.
Li Zixi covered his head and limped back.
"I really want to drink a glass of wedding wine." His face was pitiful, and he was still covering his forehead with a piece of cloth, and it looked like he was bleeding.
"Li Tanhua, didn't you get into trouble again on the way to drink?" asked a certain adult who was picking up the bride.
Li Zixi smiled and nodded while touching his head.
"When I was going out, my old horse stumbled and fell into a ditch, breaking my leg."
"I just climbed up from the ditch and stood under the eaves to clean my wounds. A tile fell from the eaves and smashed my head. Don't worry, it's not fatal... I can still drink this wedding wine, I can drink it." Li Zixi looked serious.
God damn it, just to drink this wedding wine, I deliberately went out before dawn when there were few people! !
Damn it, I still couldn't escape.
Everyone...
"Did you encounter evil spirits when you went to the South? Why is your luck getting worse? Every day when I go to court, it feels like a catastrophe." A colleague couldn't help asking.
I only know that His Majesty sent him to the South. After he went...
The Emperor of the South died.
The old queen mother also died.
The eldest princess died.
His Royal Highness the Grandson also died.
In the entire huge South, only Lu Chaochao, who was lost outside, inherited the throne.
When Emperor Xuanping saw him, his eyelids trembled and he was very flustered.
Li Zixi's cheeks wrinkled: "I didn't do anything..." He was really wronged! !
Lu Chaochao raised his hand to cover his face. Sheng He was stripped of his godhood, and Li Zixi was naturally doomed to bad luck. Even if Sheng He died, Li Zixi would die suddenly.
He was originally a wisp of Sheng He's soul, sharing life and death.
Lu Chaochao thought about it, drew out some of his spiritual power, condensed a small bead and handed it to Li Zixi: "Well, it can temporarily block your bad luck, but it won't last too long." The person who tied the bell must untie it. Only when Sheng He is well can he be well.
Li Zixi stretched out his hand and felt a burst of warmth when he touched the bead.
"Thank you, princess, for the treasure." Li Zixi's eyes sparkled, and he was ready to make it into a pendant and hang it on his chest.
He was in the South Country, and he had seen the princess's great ability.
"The auspicious time has arrived, let's go to pick up the bride." The matchmaker shouted, and everyone went out happily.
At this moment, it was just dawn, and many people had come out to ask for wedding money and say auspicious words.
The attendants on both sides did not drive them away, but smiled and scattered wedding money and cakes, making the place very lively.
"Let's pick up the bride..."
The children followed all the way, shouting happily, and went to the Wen family with gongs and drums.
The Wen family.
Wen Ning lay on his mother's knees with tears on his face. His mother suffered a lot when she was sent out in her early years, and the traces of time could already be seen.
"Zhengyue is a good child. I'm relieved to leave you to Zhengyue."
"Although Lu Yuanze is not a good guy, his children are good shoots from bad bamboo." Lord Wen sighed a little.
"Nowadays, who doesn't want to marry with the Lu family?"
"Whether it's Lu Yanshu, Zhengyue, or Yuanxiao, they are all outstanding people. The whole capital is staring at those children..." Marrying with the Lu family means rising.
The reserved ladies of high families are all staring at the Lu family.
"Our Wen family was originally similar to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, so we can be considered a good match."
"Later, the children of the Lu family became more and more successful, and I thought this marriage might not work out." After all, who doesn't want to have a well-matched in-law who can help each other?
Compared with the Lu family, the Wen family is too low in status.
"Zheng Yue and Madam Xu are not that kind of people." Wen Ning wiped her tears with red eyes and looked at her father with admiration.
Since the rise of the Lu family, Zheng Yue's heart towards her has never changed.
Lord Wen looked at his daughter with a little warmth in his eyes: "Aning is lucky, parents can rest assured. Good, good, good..."
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums was heard from the outer courtyard.
"The son-in-law is here to pick up the bride... He has arrived at the outer gate, Miss, please cover your veil." The maid entered the inner courtyard with a smile to report.
In an instant, the Wen family became lively.
Standing beside Lu Zhengyue were his eldest brother and third brother, and behind him were a group of young talents. The people watching the wedding reception were amazed.
Are all the young talents of Beizhao here?
Many ladies saw this scene, their eyes flickered, and they thought about marrying with the Lu family again.
"Miss Wen is so lucky... a group of daughters from high-ranking families couldn't get a marriage, but she got it." Someone in the crowd said sourly.
"Don't talk nonsense, Madam Xu values Wen Ning and treats her as a half-daughter. Be careful that you can't marry her and become enemies instead." No family wants to be enemies with the current Lu family.
The woman who spoke curled her lips.
Wen Ning's family background is not as good as hers, his appearance is not as good as hers, and his talents in all aspects are not as good as hers. She couldn't understand why the Lu family accepted Wen Ning as dead.
Her family once asked someone to go to the Lu family to mediate, but was politely rejected by the Lu family.
What made people even more envious and jealous was that when Lu Zhengyue came to marry, he actually knelt in front of Wen's parents and swore. (End of this chapter)
