Chapter 29
Chapter 29
In the 15th year of Chenghe, August [-]th, the sky is bright and the air is clear, and the osmanthus is fragrant, so it is suitable for marriage.At almost dusk, the clouds in the sky were all dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun, and a group of special guests came to the small courtyard where Ji Xuanbing was.
Jiang Chaosheng moved to a new, more spacious home three days ago, and Ji Xuanbing got married in this small courtyard where he had lived for several months.Those guarding the yard outside are all soldiers under Jiang Chaosheng's orders, standing guard all night to prevent outsiders from trespassing on the house.
Although he was the only one left in the yard, Ji Xuanbing did not live alone. He spent several days in the deep sea. Every day when Jiang Chao was born, he would ask the tortoise to send the love letter he wrote to his family. Grace, comfort lovesickness.
In fact, Ji Xuanbing didn't want to separate either, but he had to abide by human customs, fiancées were not allowed to see each other for three days before they got married.August [-]th was the auspicious day they set for the auspicious day. They went to the yard early in the morning, took a bath, changed clothes, put on makeup, and waited for Jiang Chao to come to marry him.
Accompanied by the sound of melodious music, the cover of the passage was opened, and more than twenty adult mermen came to this grand wedding through the underground pipeline, holding jewels and gorgeous merman wedding dresses.
The high priest was standing in Ji Xuanbing's room, and she was not using a shark tail at this time, but straight and slender legs.An adult merman can maintain a human appearance for a short period of time without touching the sea.The high priest is much older than Ji Xuanbing, and is far more proficient in the skills of transforming people than the latter.
The house is spacious enough for ordinary people, but it is very narrow for the mermaids living under the sea.The high priest held a crystal-clear fishbone comb in his hand, and asked again with a serious expression: "Xuan Bing, did you recognize him? Swear before the Sea God, and we will be partners with him from now on, and never give up. Never betray."
When there is no identified partner, the mermaid can have a climax with anyone, but if he has his own partner and has given affection, he will never allow betrayal.Betrayers will be punished by the sea god, their souls will be expelled from Guixu, and there will be no afterlife after death.
Ji Xuanbing looked at the face reflected in the mirror, and said in an extremely firm tone, "I only want him alone. Even if the sky falls today, I still have to complete this marriage."
The matter has reached a critical moment. If Jiang Chaosheng suddenly escapes marriage like the heartbroken man mentioned in the storybook, he will chase him to the ends of the earth and catch him back.But no one would dare to disappoint the Merman. The last guy who did this had already been chopped into pieces and became food for sea fish.
"Does he know that once the mermaids get married, they will only be widowed, not divorced?" Although the mermaids are infatuated, they still give people a chance to choose in advance when dealing with foreigners.
Ji Xuanbing nodded: "I've said it before, Chao Sheng said he won't change his mind."
A person like Jiang Chaosheng, once he is with others, even if the love in the future is not as strong as it was at the beginning, and the love turns into family affection, he will continue to stay with others.This is not an era where you can reconcile casually. If a couple who love each other do not empathize with each other, it is basically impossible to become a resentful spouse.
Human beings always make promises so easily, and the high priest does not doubt the truth of the other party's love at this time. If the other party changes his mind, the passionate human beings will pay a painful enough price.Her indifferent and cold face was kind of gentle, with a slight smile, she acted as Xiao Yuren's hair-combing lady: "One comb to the hair, so loving to the gray hair..."
She combed it smoothly three times in a row, and then handed the comb to Ji Xuanbing: "We won't eat the banquet of the human race. Everyone has arranged a banquet for you in the Sea Palace. If he wants to, he can bring him along."
The high priest gave the only water-repelling bead. Ordinary humans can wear this bead and dive into the deep sea without fear of sea water. However, human beings are different from mermaids. Deep sea life without skylight.
Ji Xuanbing got up from the chair. He didn't wear a two-piece suit with prosthetic legs today, and there was still a gleaming fishtail under the skirt: "I'll see you off."
Obviously, he was anxious from time to time before, but when the day of marriage came, Ji Xuanbing's heart inexplicably settled down. He was not dreaming, he was really going to marry Engong soon.
After waiting for a long time, the three aunts and six wives shouted outside the door in shrill voices: "The auspicious time has come, the groom has come to pick up the bride."
Normally, when the groom comes to welcome the bride, he has to accept the embarrassment of the woman's relatives and friends, but Jiang Chaosheng is all guarding Ji Xuanbing, so this insignificant atmosphere group link is skipped.
Jiang Chaosheng knocked on the courtyard door outside: "Xuan Bing, I'm here."
It was Jiang Chaosheng's voice, he came to pick me up on time!Ji Xuanbing lifted the hem of her skirt, her beautiful fishtails turned into legs, and happily opened the door to welcome her out.After a few days of training, his walking was no longer as awkward as the first time. When he ran happily, no one with sharp eyes could see the abnormality.
Marriage in this era is not popular for hijab, and there is no such thing as a big sedan chair. The carriage is always used to welcome the bride, and the wedding is also held in the evening. After all, the wedding is a ceremonial ceremony for two people who fell in love. Ceremony for young people.
Jiang Chao gave birth to a carriage, used his knees as a stool, and carried Xiao Yuren into the wedding car. The car was open, with a gorgeous roof and shelves. As soon as it blows, it reveals the faces of the people in the car, which can hardly cover up.
Pulling the cart are four fine horses, two white and two red, with big red flowers tied around their necks.The rope of the carriage was held in the hand of the coachman, and he was slowly leading the carriage away. Soldiers cleared the way in front, followed by a long procession.The trumpets and suonas played festive tunes happily, and boys and girls in pink and red jackets sprinkled flowers and sugar along the road.
All the onlookers on both sides of the main road almost saw it. There was a child riding on his own father's neck to watch the excitement, with round eyes.
When the city lord's team left, the favor gradually dissipated, and the little boy was let down by his father, because it was really uncomfortable to be crowded around, and just about to cry, a candy was stuffed into his mouth.
This candy is a milk ball candy. It exudes a rich milky fragrance without peeling off the outer candy wrapper. After peeling off the rice candy wrapper, there is a snow-white and round candy inside, which softens after a while in the mouth.
After eating the candy, the little boy reluctantly sucked his fingers for a while, until there was no smell of candy on it, and greedily asked his father, "Daddy, the candy is so sweet, I still want it!"
"How can there be so many, this is only because the city lord is married."
The child said in a childlike voice, "It would be great if the city lord got married every day." As soon as he said this, the people around him who hadn't left all looked over one after another.
Before I finished speaking, the father felt a chill on his back, and quickly covered the child's mouth. Anyway, the excitement was over, so he hurriedly took the ignorant child away.Everyone has been looking forward to the marriage of the princess and the city lord for a long time. If the city lord changes brides every day, the princess will die of anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? You get married once in a lifetime. You'll grow up soon, and you'll be capable in the future. If you want to eat sweets, I'll make sure you eat enough!"
The newlyweds on the carriage had long since left, the crowd was too noisy, no matter how sharp the ears and eyes were, it was impossible to hear so many people's words clearly at the same time.
Ji Xuanbing didn't listen at all, and didn't bother to listen. All his attention was on Jiang Chaosheng, and he looked at the extraordinarily handsome husband without blinking. He couldn't get enough of it.
"Chaosheng, we're really married, aren't we?"
Jiang Chaosheng gave an affirmative answer gently and patiently: "Yes."
The team moved very slowly, and it took at least an hour to walk for a few kilometers. However, the cool breeze in the evening, the wind blowing on people is very comfortable, so it doesn't matter if the time is slow.
"Chaosheng, you look so good in red." Ji Xuanbing announced that from today onwards, his favorite color is bright red, a beaming red.
"You look good too." Jiang Chaosheng asked him, "Are you hungry?"
Little Merman always eats a lot on weekdays, but today he is wearing very slim-fitting clothes, and his lower abdomen looks flat, it really doesn't look like he has eaten.Sure enough, Ji Xuanbing shook his head slightly, the gorgeous phoenix hairpin on his head was intact: "No, I didn't eat anything."
Jiang Chaosheng knew this would happen, and he immediately took out a purse from his sleeve. Compared with the purse he usually wears, the stitching of this purse is really bad. He would feel that these were two ducklings, and that this was the first purse Ji Xuanbing wove for him.
"Chaosheng, why did you bring this purse with you?" Ji Xuanbing looked at the extremely delicate embroidery patterns on her wedding dress, and then at the two teal ducks whose shapes could barely be seen, her cheeks turned red and her hair couldn't help hot.
With heavy makeup and a grand ceremony, he put on thick powder today, which originally looked too white, but because of his blushing, his whiteness was actually powdery, looking like a perfectly ripe peach.
Jiang Chaosheng was quite calm: "This purse is festive, and it is just right for today. No matter how beautiful the other things are, it is not embroidered by Xuan Bing himself."
Although Ji Xuanbing is also a mermaid, he is not good at weaving mermaid. In the past, he was only good at fighting. After making the ugly purse for the first time, Jiang Chaosheng diverted his attention because many small holes were poked in his hand. Say nothing to let him do this kind of sewing.
Ji Xuanbing originally thought that the purse had been thrown away a long time ago, but Jiang Chaosheng kept it well and brought it with him on such an important day.
Jiang Chaosheng opened the beige ribbon of the purse, and poured out a round candy from it. This batch of candy was made by him according to the taste in his memory. For this wedding, the cooks specially asked the cooks to work overtime to make a lot .
Although Ji Xuanbing didn't paint his face exaggeratedly like a monkey, but a thin layer of lip balm was applied on his red lips, so he couldn't eat freely after putting on makeup.Using the cover of his sleeves, Jiang Chaosheng smuggled a piece of candy into Ji Xuanbing's mouth, and the left cheek of the shark bulged slightly.
"One more." Now the little shark's cheeks were puffed up, looking like a little squirrel hiding a pine nut.When he got off the carriage, Ji Xuanbing's cheeks were already flattened, and with these two candies, his stomach wouldn't growl from hunger.
The wedding was as good as today's weather, and the first half of the journey went smoothly. When we arrived at the new house, we worshiped heaven and earth. There were a total of 180 tables for the banquet, which were placed from the door to the inside.
"One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, husband and wife bow to each other..." The lyricist pushed the fairy-looking young couple and said loudly, "Send it to the bridal chamber!"
According to the custom, Ji Xuanbing went to the bedroom to rest first, and Jiang Chaosheng made a toast.There were many guests who came to the banquet, so naturally there were many guests to toast, but a group of tall and burly men on the groom's side stretched out their hands to drink a glass of toasted wine for Jiang Chaosheng.
Lou Zhan took a sip: "Today is a great day for the prince, no one can do anything wrong."
Even if there is no one to drink for him, no one would dare to get Jiang Chaosheng drunk. After all, this is a happy day for him, and only if he is really here to make an enemy, would he dare to make trouble at the wedding.
What's more, the beautiful girl has charming eyes like silk, and the fairy "princess" who has just been pushed has eyes like knives. The clear and lingling eyes clearly read: Whoever dares to tease my husband, don't even think about it. alive.
After only paying respects, Jiang Chaosheng hurried into the much quieter inner house.Taking a deep breath, he opened the door of the wedding room. He just turned around to close the door, and a gust of fragrant wind blew over. The little shark jumped into his arms, with two long, thin and white legs entwined. .
