"This ......"

Zhu Wanting's words made Zhao Xin's heart tremble, since she stepped into the officialdom, Zhu Wanting never thought that she would be a bride one day, which made her a little overwhelmed for a while. Bayi Chinese Network =≠≠.=

"Sister, don't hesitate any longer, otherwise it's too late."

Seeing that Zhao Xin was undecided, Zhu Wanting took her hand and walked out, saying meaningfully as she walked, "Except for you, I'm afraid Young Master Li won't accept someone else to be this bride." ”

Zhao Xin did not resist, and was pulled into a room by Zhu Wanting in a daze, several maids brought by Zhu Wanting were adding hot water to a large wooden bucket in the center of the room, and the bride's wedding dress and phoenix crown and other things were placed on the table on the side.

Although Zhao Xin did not agree to Zhu Wanting, deep down in her heart, she longed to wear the bride's wedding dress, even if she couldn't become Li Hongyu's wife, but at least she had become his bride.

"Quick, wait for the guest of honor to bathe, and then change into the bride's wedding dress." After entering the door, Zhu Wanting asked the maids in a deep voice.

"The servant obeys." Hearing this, several maids immediately greeted Zhao Xin, and untied Zhao Xin's clothes in an orderly manner, they were all people who served beside Zhu Wanting and Zhao Xin, so they naturally knew the identity of Zhao Xin's woman.

"This ...... Isn't that something wrong, I ......"

When only the close-fitting profane clothes were stripped off on her body, Zhao Xin, who had been in a daze, finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly reached out to protect the profane clothes on her chest, and said to Zhu Wanting who was standing aside with a rosy cheek.

"Sister, Young Master Li's wedding today is all up to you, so I'll go down and arrange the rest of the matter."

Seeing Zhao Xin's cramped expression, as if she was worried about pretending to be a bride, Zhu Wanting interrupted her, smiled at her and walked out, anyway, Zhao Xin is now riding a tiger, unless she is willing to see Li Hongyu's wedding messed up.

Zhao Xin's face suddenly showed a helpless look when she heard this, and after a deep groan, she slowly let go of the hand that was protecting her clothes, blushing and letting the maids remove her clothes, and then entered the bathtub to be served by the maids to take a bath, with an inexplicable excitement and excitement in her heart.

"Scholar, you are such a beautiful woman, if I were a man, I would definitely become your minister."

After Zhao Xin finished dressing up, one of the maids at the scene couldn't help but look at Zhao Xin, who was wearing a suit, a phoenix crown, and a xia veil, and praised her, and the rest of the maids nodded one after another.

After putting on the wedding dress, Zhao Xin has changed from a handsome boy to a peerless ******, and her smile is heart-wrenching.

Zhao Xin looked at herself in the bronze mirror, reached out and stroked her extremely delicate cheeks, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she has been busy with official business all these years, and almost forgot that she is a woman, a woman with a world-class appearance.

"Sister, if Young Master Li saw you, he would definitely be surprised."

Not long after, Zhu Wanting walked in quickly, and was slightly stunned when she saw Zhao Xin looking in the mirror there, but she didn't expect Zhao Xin's women's clothes to be so amazing, and then walked forward with a smile and said.

"Young Master Li is coming soon, right?" Zhao Xin's face turned red when she heard this, and then she asked with a shy, she now wanted to see Zhao Hongyu and was afraid to see him, and her mood was quite conflicted.

"The next person just came to report that Young Master Li's team to receive relatives has entered the city gate and will come here soon."

Zhu Wanting took a piece of red from the maid on the side and raised her head to cover Zhao Xin, and said with a sly smile, "Sister, I have already arranged it, and Qin Yue will find an opportunity to change you after you and Young Master Li enter the cave room after worshipping each other." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, and greeted him absentmindedly, this is the only feasible way at present.

With the arrival of Li Hongyu and his entourage, they had already gathered on both sides of the street to watch the excitement, and the people applauded enthusiastically, which can be described as an empty alley, and many shops crackled and set off firecrackers at the door of the welcoming procession.

In order to maintain order at the scene, the prefect of Jiangkou County sent a lot of officers to the streets to ensure that the welcoming team did not encounter accidents.

In fact, no one dared to make trouble when Li Hongyu was happy, otherwise the angry people would definitely beat him to death, and Li Hongyu had a high prestige in the local area.

Originally, according to the custom, the groom would be "troubled" by the woman's family when he received his relatives, but Li Hongyu was a member of the first rank of the dynasty, so who dared to "make it difficult" for him, which made him come to Zhao Xin's boudoir very smoothly through a series of ceremonies.

However, Li Hongyu was "troubled" here, and Zhu Wanting did not mean to let him enter the door, so the maids arrived at the door of the house.

Since Li Hongyu is a member of the imperial court, the matter of "making things difficult" for Li Hongyu can only be done by Zhu Wanting, the county lord, and others may not have the courage, in that case, wouldn't the wedding be very boring.

Seeing this, Li Hongyu said a red envelope and said good things, and it was not until the auspicious time arrived that Zhu Wanting asked the maid to open the door and let him in.

"Young Master Li, the county lord will hand over the bride to you, you must treat her well in the future." Zhu Wanting put Zhao Xin's hand into Li Hongyu's hand and said with a smile.

"The county lord can rest assured, the lower officials will not disappoint the county lord." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, nodded to Zhu Wanting, and agreed in one bite, he loved Zhao Xin too late, so how could he bully her? .

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the newcomer has set off." At this time, a middle-aged man on the side shouted.

When Li Hongyu heard this, he immediately hugged Zhao Xin in his arms with both hands, and strode away amid the applause and cheers of everyone, and the firecrackers in the courtyard immediately rang out happily.

This made Zhao Xin's heartbeat, which was already nervous, increase suddenly, and if it wasn't for the red hijab to cover it, she could clearly see the seductive flush on her face.

Li Hongyu hugged Zhao Xin, who was curled up in his arms, to the sedan chair of the welcoming team at the door, and several maids helped her into the sedan chair.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has gone back, and I will come back to see my father-in-law another day." Under the gaze of the onlookers, Li Hongyu turned over and said to a middle-aged man with a beard standing in front of the crowd at the gate of the mansion.

"Have a nice trip." The bearded middle-aged man's eyes were a little moist, and he glanced at the sedan chair and said to Li Hongyu.

If Zhao Xin wasn't flustered at this time, then she would definitely hear the identity of this middle-aged man with a beard who spoke, because this middle-aged man with a beard was none other than her father Zhao Deyi, Li Hongyu would definitely not casually pull a stranger over to be his father-in-law.

When Li Hongyu heard this, he bowed his hand to Zhao Deyi again, and then led the team to leave, Zhao Deyi's eyes couldn't help but shed tears of reluctance, after all, the daughter who had been raised for many years has now become someone else's daughter-in-law, and there will naturally be a gap in his heart.

On the way back to Baihe Town, Zhao Xin sat nervously in the sedan chair, for fear that she would show any flaws, in case people knew that she was replacing the bride, it would definitely cause an uproar, who would have thought that the dignified Youchunfang University Scholar would be a graceful and beautiful woman?

However, deep down in her heart, she felt a sense of sweetness and excitement, no matter what, she wore a wedding dress, sat in a sedan chair, and waited to worship Li Hongyu, which can be regarded as a kiss.

It's just that it was not her who spent the candle in the cave with Li Hongyu in the end, but Qin Yue, although this made her feel inexplicably lost, but she was already satisfied with this experience of getting married.

Li Hongyu rode a tall horse to lead the way in front, and from time to time he bowed his hand to the people gathered on both sides of the road to watch the excitement, which made the scene resound with bursts of applause and cheers.

"I wish the scholar and his wife a hundred years of good harmony and an early birth to a noble son!" The congratulatory voices in the crowd came one after another, and the people expressed their congratulations on Li Hongyu's wedding.

This kind of scene can be described as a rare occurrence in a century, and it is rare to get such support from the people, of course, these are the honors that Li Hongyu exchanged for his life on the battlefield, and the war in Liaodong and Liaoxi has made Li Hongyu's reputation among the people reach a new height.

"It's coming, it's coming, let's set off firecrackers!"

When Li Hongyu on a horse appeared in people's sight, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper of the Li family hurriedly ordered the Li family, who had already been waiting on the sidelines, to set off firecrackers.

As soon as the firecrackers at the entrance of the town went off, the people in the town knew that Li Hongyu had come back, so they rushed to the street and stretched their necks to look around with interest, and the guests who came to the wedding banquet also came out of the resting room to greet Li Hongyu, and the whole Baihe Town became extremely noisy.

After the pick-up team stopped outside the door of Li's courtyard, a subordinate brought a hydrangea with red silk tied at both ends, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin who got off the sedan chair each held one end of the red silk, and then Li Hongyu led Zhao Xin in with the red silk, and the scene suddenly sounded earth-shattering applause and cheers.

Because Zhao Xin couldn't see the road ahead with a red hijab on her head, she was holding red silk in both hands, and a maid wearing a red dress was on her left and right to support her, so that she wouldn't fall or bump into her.

Zhao Xin was very nervous at this time, the county seat was okay, not many people knew him, but the people in Baihe Town basically knew who she was, and if the red hijab slipped or something, the result would be terrible.

However, things were not as bad as Zhao Xin imagined, and she was successfully led to the hall in the front yard by Li Hongyu.

Zhao smiled and sat on the seat in the hall, looking at Zhao Xin with a red hijab lovingly, feeling that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were really a happy couple, Zhao Xin stepped into officialdom for Li Hongyu to disguise himself as a man, and Li Hongyu gave Zhao Xin a dream wedding that is rare in the world.

"The newcomer salutes and worships heaven and earth!" When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin came to the hall, the master of ceremonies standing on the side shouted loudly.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who were supported by two red-clothed maids, turned to face the sky outside the door when they heard this, and then knelt down solemnly.

It is worth mentioning that the three prostrations of marriage in ancient times contain far-reaching significance:

Worshipping heaven and earth means revering the destiny of heaven and the gods. A husband and wife can come together, to a large extent, it is the old red line, God is destined, I believe that everyone who has come over will have a deep understanding of this;

The second worship of parents means gratitude, thanking parents for many years of nurturing, and also means respecting the status of parents, which also has the meaning of family harmony and stability;

Husband and wife worship is to reflect the mutual respect and love of both parties, mutual respect, a kind of lifelong commitment, the same fate depends on each other, but also intended in the future life, the couple can be harmonious, sweet.

"The newcomers salute, the second bow to the high hall!" After Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin finished kneeling and worshipping heaven and earth, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin then turned to face Zhao, who was sitting in the lobby, knelt down together, and solemnly kowtowed.

"Come!" After the two of them finished saluting, Zhao smiled and waved to Zhao Xin, so the two red-clothed maids helped Zhao Xin over.

"Child, this bracelet is the heirloom of the Li family, my mother-in-law will pass it on to you today, and my mother-in-law will hand over Yu'er to you in the future."

Zhao picked up a jade bracelet with a whole body of turquoise from the tray held by the maid on the side, put it on Zhao Xin's fair-skinned wrist, took her hand and said softly, "Child, you have suffered a lot over the years, and your mother-in-law has kept it in mind, if Yu'er fails you in the future, you will tell your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law will call the shots for you." ”

"Granny Xie."

Zhao Xin didn't expect that the Zhao family would give her the jade bracelet of the Li family's heirloom, and she was suddenly highly nervous in her heart, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only blush her cheeks and endure the excitement in her heart to thank the Zhao family.

As for Zhao's later words, although she felt a little strange, where was the time given to her now, she still had to work hard to complete the next series of etiquette.

"The newlyweds salute, and the husband and wife bow to each other!" After Zhao Xin retreated to the seat standing side by side with Li Hongyu, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin then stood facing each other, and then knelt down together, Zhao Xin's heart was pounding, now she and Li Hongyu are close at hand, but unfortunately they can't see each other, and they can only complete the wedding ceremony through a red hijab, which is really sad.

"After the newcomer finishes the ceremony, he will be sent to the cave room." As Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin got up, the master of ceremonies shouted the last etiquette with a smile, and the scene suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhao Xin's cheeks also turned red with a brush, although she knew that it was Qin Yue who had a cave room with Li Hongyu in the end, but after all, she was a big girl who had not left the pavilion, and she would inevitably feel embarrassed when she heard these words.

In the sound of everyone's blessings, Li Hongyu smiled and led Zhao Xin to the new house, and a group of children followed behind to play and play.

After sending Zhao Xin to the new house, Li Hongyu's duty to the bride came to an end, and he got up and left to greet the guests who came to attend the wedding, so Zhao Xin sat on the edge of the bed with a red hijab and waited nervously.

According to Zhu Wanting's arrangement, she would quietly send Qin Yue in to swap with Zhao Xin, and quietly replace Zhao Xin away.

Therefore, Zhao Xin can only wait for Qin Yue's arrival now, she feels very cramped now, for fear that if she reveals any flaws, she will be seen, and then things will be bad.
