Chapter 212 1 Worshiping Heaven and Earth
Shen Jiaheng bent his knees steadily and gently put his sister down.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhen and Tuoba Ning came forward, one on the left and one on the right, and helped Shen Jiasui to Jiang Xun's side.
Jiang Xun only saw the fiery red wedding dress moving like flowing clouds, moving towards him step by step, and the jingling of pearls and jade struck his heart again and again.
The two of them knelt together in front of Shen Zhengsheng and Ji Wan.
"bye--"
Jiang Xun touched the ground with his forehead and bowed once, twice, and three times.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I, Jiang Xun, am deeply grateful for your kindness and the opportunity to marry Sui Sui. I will cherish her as my treasure and spend my life with her. I will also respect you as my own parents and enjoy your presence as a token of my gratitude."
His voice trembled slightly, and was extremely pious and earnest. He bowed for the last time and did not stand up for a long time.
Shen Zhengsheng suppressed the bitterness and reluctance in his heart, leaned over to help Jiang Xun up, patted his shoulders heavily, and said, "Okay, okay."
Shen Jiasui knelt beside her, the big red veil blocking her view. She could only see her mother's hands on her knees, her knuckles white from clenching, and a handkerchief tightly clenched in her palm, which was already wet with tears.
Her heart trembled, and she heard a loud voice from the side: "It's a beautiful time, the bride is leaving the house for her new home, the wedding procession is slow, parents, please don't worry, the newlyweds are leaving!"
In an instant, the sound of gongs and drums rang out, and cheers diluted the solemnity and sadness in the hall.
Shen Jiasui was helped out. Ji Wan suddenly stood up and followed him for two steps, then hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief to suppress the sob that was about to burst out of her throat.
When the women nearby saw this scene, they wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs, their eyes full of emotion and feeling.
The guests followed the newlyweds out one after another, and the hall became empty in an instant.
At this time, Shen Zhengsheng stepped forward and gently pulled Ji Wan's hand. The couple looked at each other, tears welling up in their eyes, and they were filled with relief.
As soon as the bride stepped out of the house, the wedding procession played the suona loudly and beat the gongs and drums loudly, as if to inform the world and the four directions.
Shen Jiasui had long lost his sense of direction and was helped into the bridal sedan amidst the increasingly loud shouts of "The time has come, bride, get in!"
The moment the sedan chair curtain fell, the noise was blocked out, but the festive drum music could still be heard clearly.
Swaying and babbling.
Shen Jiasui quietly lifted the veil in front of her, and saw that the walls of the sedan were all carefully wrapped with scarlet silk, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water and lotus flowers, which were lifelike.
There were also a few strings of small golden bells hanging on the top of the sedan chair, which were making crisp and pleasant jingling sounds.
There was a thick brocade mattress under my feet, which was soft to the touch and embroidered with peonies in full bloom.
Every detail is carefully crafted and every detail is exquisitely crafted.
Shen Jiasui's heart gradually warmed up. He stretched out his foot to touch the blooming peony, then reached out to touch the hanging golden bells, and then gently stroked the mandarin ducks playing in the water on the wall of the sedan chair, and suddenly burst out laughing.
She could also embroider mandarin ducks playing in the water, but her mother said that what she embroidered was called wild birds fluttering in the water, which made her laugh so hard that she rolled on the couch.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui's eyes became slightly red again.
After a long time, she bit her lip and secretly used her fingers to hook open a corner of the curtain.
Looking out through the small gap, her eyes were instantly attracted by the tall figure in front of her.
Jiang Xun was riding on a tall horse, wearing a black gauze folded scarf on his head. The brim of his hat bounced up and down with the horse's pace. The afternoon sun shone on his body, and he looked very proud and triumphant.
But he seemed to have realized something at this moment, and turned his head with a smile, which scared Shen Jiasui so much that he slipped away and retracted his fingers.
In the bright red sedan chair, the bride's face turned red with shame. In the midst of anxiety and anticipation, she didn't know how long the sedan chair had been traveling.
At this time, someone shouted: "Here it comes! Here it comes! The wedding sedan is coming!"
The whole place was in an uproar in an instant.
In front of the Anyang Earl's Mansion, a group of relatives and friends were looking in, and children were laughing and running around in the crowd.
The wedding sedan finally arrived at the gate of the mansion. The best man stepped forward quickly and shouted:
"Get off the sedan chair——"
The crowd around them gathered around at once, cheers and laughter mixed together.
The firecrackers exploded with a crackling sound, and red confetti flew all over the sky, as if it was a festive red snow.
"Please ask the bride to come out of the sedan chair——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jiasui felt that the scene in front of him became much brighter. It turned out that it was Zhao Huaizhen who lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
At this time, the bridesmaid, who had been prepared for this, immediately handed one end of the red silk to Shen Jiasui and said with a smile:
"Hold tight, bride!"
The red silk is soft in texture, and its color is as intense and bright as flames under the setting sun.
Jiang Xun stood in front of the sedan chair and took the other end of the red silk.
There was a hint of urgency in his movements. His slender fingers tightly grasped the red silk, and then - he gently pulled it.
A subtle tug reached the other end of the red silk. Shen Jiasui's hand moved along with it, his heart pounding, and he gently pulled back.
Jiang Xun felt his heart tighten, his eyes fixed on the person in the sedan, unable to move away.
At this time, Shen Jiasui, supported by Zhao Huaizhen, took light steps and slowly stepped out of the sedan chair, following the guidance of the red silk.
Everyone made way for the newlyweds, who entered the mansion and walked towards the main hall. They stepped over a fire basin to ward off evil spirits, stepped on tiles to break bad luck, shot arrows to protect their home, washed their bodies and minds, and went through various auspicious ceremonies.
Seeing that the main hall for worship was already in sight, the bridesmaid took a deep breath. When Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun stepped onto the white jade tiles at the same time, congratulations echoed throughout the courtyard.
"When the Yang begins to move, the two surnames will be harmonious. When three are abundant, four are beautiful. The fifth generation will initiate the divination."
"The six rites are complete, the seven sages have assembled, the eight notes are composed, the nine harmonies are sung, and the ten are complete and perfect."
As soon as he finished speaking, the newlyweds walked into the wedding hall.
Shouts were heard everywhere. Through the red veil, Shen Jiasui's eyes were blurry and he felt dizzy.
At this time, a gentle and soothing voice came softly amid the clamor:
"Sui Sui, are you tired? Just a little longer, and you'll be done after you've paid your respects to heaven and earth."
Shen Jiasui shook his head slightly, then nodded.
She didn't feel tired, she just...
Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiasui shaking his head and nodding, and he was unsure for a moment. He couldn't help but think about it. Just as he was about to ask again, the voice of the best man came:
"The auspicious hour has arrived. The newlyweds step forward, and all the heavens and the earth come to bear witness."
The setting sun shines through the vermilion window lattices, and the wedding candles in the room illuminate every corner.
The hall was already full of guests.
In the hall right in front, the Anyang Earl and his wife were sitting upright.
At this moment, Anyang Bo's square face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, his eyes were full of tears, but he was trying hard not to let them fall.
The wife of the Earl of Anyang was also dressed in her best attire. She rarely wore pearls and jade, but her face was already covered with traces of tears.
In the VIP seats on one side, the little grandson of the emperor, Zhao Yuanye, was wearing a golden crown, his little face full of excitement and excitement, and he was talking to Old Lin beside him.
Old Lin finally changed out of his plain robe today. While responding to Zhao Yuanye, his eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Xun and Shen Jiasui, with a smile on his lips and his eyes filled with love and joy.
At this moment, the best man's resounding voice rang out:
"When you bow to heaven and earth, heaven and earth will make your marriage a match."
"bye--"
