Chapter 13: Refusing Marriage in Public
Du Yunzhi went to the south of the city to find the goldsmith Master Liu mentioned by Shen Ning, but Master Liu did not make her a Hundred-Child Love Lock. Instead, he made her a golden abacus with her nickname engraved on it.
This was given to her by Shen Ning.
It’s not surprising that Shen Ning gave her a gift. Even if it’s a bit expensive, it shows that they have a good relationship.
But why today? Why did she have to come and get it right before she put on her wedding dress and got married?
Something is going to happen.
Even though she knew that Shen Ning wanted to get her out of the way, Du Yunzhi still hurried back.
When she arrived, the bridal sedan had already left.
She was supposed to chase the bridal sedan, but for some reason she went to Shen Ning's residence first.
Everyone went to watch the bride get into the sedan chair, but there was no one inside. She went straight into the house, looked around and found nothing wrong. Just as she turned around to leave, she saw a shoe sticking out from under the curtain...
-----
The wedding procession went to the north of the city with music and drums.
Although the master of the Wei family holds a third-rank official rank, his family background is indeed not as good as that of the Shen family.
The Wei family has only had two generations in official service, and all of them were censors.
You are not good at business and rely on your fixed salary. Besides, the censor is responsible for supervision and impeachment. If the censor's family is wealthy, the emperor will wonder where your money comes from.
Others have money but cannot show it openly, while the Wei family is poor both openly and secretly.
The reason why the Wei family was able to marry into the Shen family was because Censor Wei and Shen Ning's father were from the same school, and Censor Wei Changgeng was considered half a senior brother of Shen's father. Later, Wei Changgeng spoke up for Shen's father several times in the officialdom, and the two families became friends, and only then were the marriages of their children arranged.
Previously, Shen's father was the Minister of Works, a second-rank official. Others said that the Wei family was marrying above their station. But after Shen's father passed away, not only did the Wei family not cancel the engagement, they also waited for Shen Ning to observe three years of mourning before marrying. Who wouldn't say that the Wei family is loyal and righteous?
But which is more important, the relationship with Mr. Shen or the wealth left by the Shen family, only they themselves know.
Although the Wei family was not very wealthy, they had made all the necessary preparations for their only son's wedding, and the banquet was also quite good.
Can't be too rich, nor too poor.
Of course, the biggest reason why Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth and bleed money to hold this wedding was the generous dowry that Shen Ning brought. Besides, everyone knew that her daughter-in-law was a money-making gold treasure.
With a long-term vision, she will naturally be willing to spend money and also gain a good reputation for herself.
Censor Wei was also very happy. He did not hold a high position and being a censor was a job that offended people, so even if he invited many people to his son's wedding, he could not invite many people. But today, in addition to those who he had sent invitations, many people who had not sent invitations also sent gifts, and some even came from the homes of royal relatives.
He knew very well that all this was because of his future daughter-in-law.
I've heard before that Shen Ning is very popular among the ladies and young ladies, and now it seems to be true.
If all these connections favor the Wei family, why would he worry about not having a successful career?
Thinking of the bright future that was about to come, he couldn't help but complain: "I should let Congwen go to pick up Ning girl in person."
How could Mrs. Wei not know? But what could she do?
"I had to talk him into agreeing to get married. He didn't want to do it in the first place. If you force him, it would be more trouble than good if something happened."
Wei Changgeng: "I'm afraid that Ning girl will think too much and think that we don't value her."
Madam Wei flicked her handkerchief and said, "Ms. Ning is a sensible person and won't be petty."
As she spoke, she smiled mysteriously and whispered, "I have asked someone to prepare some good things. Once the wedding night is over, the relationship between the young couple will naturally improve after the rice is cooked."
Wei Changgeng was a stern man. He was too embarrassed to mention what happened in the bedroom of a young man. He could only cough twice and said, "I'll go out and see the guests."
The Wei couple had beautiful thoughts here, but they didn't know that their precious son was holding back a big one for them at the door.
Wei Congwen stood at the door in a bright red wedding suit, and the groom looked more handsome and energetic in a red robe. However, it is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy, but this groom had a sullen face the whole time, with cold eyes and no expression.
If he hadn't been wearing a wedding dress, someone who didn't know would have thought that his family was holding a funeral.
Someone came forward to congratulate him, but when they saw his expression, they felt it was boring and just went in perfunctorily.
Finally, the bridal sedan arrived amid the sound of firecrackers.
"Here comes the bride!"
"Go pick up the bride!"
The sedan stopped in front of the door, and the matchmaker smiled brightly: "Slow down, slow down, the sedan landed, peace and good luck."
"The bride has arrived, the groom is kicking the sedan door, cheer up!"
"it is good!"
Wei Congwen was surrounded by the crowd and kicked the door of the sedan chair reluctantly.
According to etiquette, one should kick from inside, and the bride kicks back, which is called "Kun Gang is established", implying the harmony of heaven and earth and equality between husband and wife.
But everyone held their breath and waited for a while but still heard nothing.
Wei Congwen's expression slightly changed. The bridesmaid was stunned for a moment, and then she said quickly: "Our bride loves the groom very much, and she will definitely be a respectful and gentle wife in the future."
"Now please ask the bride to get out of the sedan chair!"
The matchmaker smiled and went to help the bride, and the bride cooperated and quickly got out of the sedan chair.
The maid who had been waiting for a long time handed over the red silk. One end was given to the bride, who immediately held it, but the end given to the groom did not move.
Everyone's eyes were focused on what the groom wanted to do.
Wei Congwen looked coldly at the woman in her wedding dress in front of him. The disgust and resistance in his heart overwhelmed his reason. He really couldn't accept marrying a woman he didn't love.
He brushed away the red silk handed to him and said resolutely: "I can't marry you."
"Ouch!"
The whole audience was in uproar. What was the groom saying?
The smile on the bride's face froze instantly and shattered into pieces: "What are you talking about?"
Wei Congwen was more resolute than ever before, with an undisguised look of disgust on his face: "I don't want to marry a woman who is only interested in money and money. Today's marriage is over. You can go back to where you came from. You have nothing to do with me from now on."
Everyone was stunned: “…”Brother, what are you talking about?
The bride is already at the door and you are making a fuss?
Even if you don't want to get married, there's no need to bully others like this, right?
Wei Congwen didn’t care what other people thought. He finally said no and felt relieved. The stone that had been weighing on his heart disappeared completely.
"Brother Wei, it's me!"
After hearing a cry with a tearful tone, Wei Congwen's body stiffened and he suddenly turned his head to look.
The bride lifted her veil, revealing a tearful face. Wasn't she the person he had been thinking about day and night?
"Shu'er?"
Everyone: "Ouch!"
Which one is this from?
Wei Congwen, who had just decided not to get married, ran back without a second thought, surprised and happy: "Shu'er, why is it you?"
Shen Shu's eyes were filled with tears: "Brother Wei, don't you want to marry me?"
Wei Congwen nodded excitedly: "Yes, I dream about it."
