I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"That's fine." Luo Qianhuai laughed, "I was thinking earlier that I wouldn't have my brothers from my natal family to escort me to the sedan chair on my wedding day, so your return is just in time."

"I'm afraid it won't be my turn." Luo Zhao smiled and said, "Sister, don't you know that Brother is here today?"

Luo Xiao is back? Luo Qianhuai really didn't expect this.

"Didn't he go on a study tour with Mr. Duan Quan? Even I haven't received a letter from him in several months."

"I don't know about that. I just saw him and haven't had time to talk to him yet."

While the two were talking, Luer brought in some food. There wasn't much, just five or six small dumplings, the kind you could swallow in one bite, and a small bowl of red bean soup with a little sugar, which you could finish in a few bites.

"Don't blame me, Madam." Lu'er said with a smile, "Madam, you have to sit all day today. If you eat too much, it will be inconvenient, so you have to bear with it a little."

Luo Qianhuai didn't care and ate the food in two or three bites. The makeup girl reapplied lipstick for her. It was almost time, so the matchmaker came forward and helped her to the main room to bid farewell to her parents.

Luo Qianhuai had explained all this to Jingyuan. His daughter finally married into a wealthy family, and although the betrothal gift was much less than he had expected, he would try his best to maintain a good relationship with his daughter, considering that there was still a long time to come.

Not to mention Caiwei, who was counting on Luo Qianhuai to help Aqin find a good marriage in the future, so naturally she wouldn't want to make her unhappy.

Therefore, the only person sitting at the top at this moment was Jingyuan. On the altar in the middle hung a portrait of Wenlan, and there were incense burners and offerings.

Luo Qianhuai entered the main hall and saw her eldest brother Luo Xiao whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He was much taller than her, wearing a bamboo green scholar's robe, with a warm smile on his face.

Luo Zhao was standing beside him, and Ah Qin was tightly grasping Luo Zhao's sleeves. It was obvious that she was very fond of this cheap brother who suddenly appeared.

Seeing Luo Qianhuai coming in, everyone's eyes lit up. She was already extremely beautiful, and with her gorgeous makeup and clothes on, she looked even more dazzling. Although those standing here were all close friends, no one had ever seen her like this, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Luo Qianhuai seemed unaware, and first walked to the table, lit a stick of incense for the mother of this body, and then bowed to Jing Yuan:

"Daughter, say goodbye to my father."

Jing Yuan was in a very good mood today. Both of his sons had returned, and his eldest daughter was about to become the wife of Xianghou. He was very proud of himself, so he began to admonish as usual:

"Be diligent and frugal, serve your husband with respect, and do not violate the rules of your parents-in-law... Oh, by the way, you don't have parents-in-law, so you can skip this rule."

"Then serve your elder brother as if he were your father, and serve your sister-in-law as if she were your mother... ah, I forgot again, Xiang Hou has no brothers, so naturally he has no sister-in-law... OK, that's it, remember to listen to Xiang Hou in everything, and don't act on your own, so as not to offend your husband."

Luo Qianhuai rolled his eyes secretly, replied casually with "yes", and stood up without waiting for Jing Yuan to speak.

The matchmaker stepped forward and covered Luo Qianhuai with a red gauze veil woven with gold thread. As the older brother, Luo Xiao half-knelt down, carried Luo Qianhuai on his back, and walked out.

"The bride is out!"

With a loud shout, the sound of firecrackers outside the door popped out, drowning out the cheers and discussions of the crowd that were gathered outside to watch the fun.

Amid the deafening noise, the world gradually came to a standstill and became somewhat unreal.

So she was really going to get married, and from then on, she had a real intersection with this era that had gone from unfamiliar to familiar. She could no longer deceive herself like before and regard everything here as a dream, a game.

Luo Qianhuai was shaken all the way in the sedan chair until the sound of firecrackers rang out again and the sedan chair landed steadily on the ground. Only then did he wake up from his illusory confusion.

She tightly grasped the vase in her hand and heard the voice of the matchmaker outside: "My Lord, you have great archery skills... Please kick the door of the sedan chair!"

This was a perfectly normal wedding procedure. After Master Mo had done it, she could get out of the sedan chair.

However, Luo Qianhuai did not wait for the foot that was supposed to come in.

Amid the bridesmaid's exclamation, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted up by a slender, jade-like hand.

"My Lord, you can't do that!" The matchmaker's voice rose a lot because of surprise: "You should kick the door of the sedan chair before you can take the bride down, so as to show your majesty and the bride's obedience!"

Young Master Mo had already grabbed Luo Qianhuai's hand and slowly helped her out, saying calmly, "Madam and I are enemies, there is no difference between superior and inferior."

The matchmaker was about to say something, but someone patted her on the shoulder. She turned around in shock and met a pair of extremely sharp eyes. She was sweating all over her body and immediately forgot her insistence. She quickly caught up with Luo Qianhuai and the others and shouted, "The bride is on the saddle, and I will keep you safe for the rest of your life~"

"The bride steps over the fire basin, bringing prosperity and children..."

Luo Qianhuai held the treasure vase and stepped steadily over the saddle and the brazier, entered the Xianghou Mansion in Xuanpingfang, walked past the guests standing on both sides who came to watch the ceremony, and entered the main hall.

Because the veil was made of red gauze, he could vaguely see the outside world without being completely in the dark, so Luo Qianhuai could also vaguely make out the person standing in the hall.

I thought that with Mr. Mo's low-key attitude, the place should be deserted today, but I didn't expect that there were so many guests, including many of noble status.

The man standing at the top, wearing a dark purple robe and looking intimidating without being angry, has a face shape and eyes that are somewhat similar to Huo Yu's. He should be the Grand Marshal and General Huo Xuan.

In addition to him, there were Prime Minister Xin He, Chief Censor Luan He, Minister of Agriculture Lou Zhiping, and many other officials. Luo Xiao's teacher Duan Quan was also among them, and she was smiling at Master Mo who was standing beside her, her face full of satisfaction.

Oh, how could she forget that this person had an old relationship with Duan Quan, and had even written a recommendation letter specifically for Luo Xiao. So it seemed unnecessary to ask why her eldest brother followed Duan Quan back.

As soon as the emcee, who was wearing a red wedding gown, thickly powdered face and a red flower on his head, opened his mouth, Luo Qianhuai immediately recognized that this person was none other than Wei Cang.

"The auspicious time has come, the newlyweds are getting married!"

Mr. Mo's parents have passed away, and they died with the infamy of treason, so the seat at the top is empty.

Luo Qianhuai just followed the commands shouted by Wei Cang and did it in unison with Master Mo. They quickly completed the couple's greetings. Then, holding a corner of the red silk, he was sent into the bridal chamber along with Master Mo.

The Xianghou Mansion in Xuanpingfang has only two entrances, and the bridal chamber is just to the side of the main hall where they had just gotten married, only a few steps away in total.
