Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

The gate of Liuyuan Mansion was also tightly closed.

This is different from the dealer's gate that was closed just now to prevent entry. This is a deliberate closing of the gate in order to frighten the bride's temper.

Since ancient times, the rules have been like this, so there is nothing strange about it.

After a while, the gate of Liuyuan Mansion opened.

Jia Lian rode a tall horse and led the team behind into Liuyuan Mansion.

The Zhuang family who followed were led by Gao Qi to rest in another part of the courtyard, where a banquet had already been arranged to entertain the bride's natal family.

After a while, it was time to get off the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was carried to the main entrance of the hall by the bearers.

At this time, Jia Lian, who was the bridegroom's official, walked to the sedan chair step by step with his heart beating violently.

It's just a dozen steps, but he feels like the journey of a lifetime.The bride in the sedan chair is about to be his wife, the one he will spend his entire life in this world with!

After coming to this world for several years, he has always felt that he does not belong here, cannot find a sense of belonging in this world, and always feels that he is a passerby.But until now, he suddenly realized that he is already a person of this world, and he will never return to the modern age, and this is where he belongs.

With a distance of more than ten steps, Jia Lian's mood ranged from nervousness, excitement, worry, uneasiness, hesitation, etc., all kinds of emotions rushed to his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

However, when he stopped in front of the sedan chair, his mood inexplicably calmed down, and all the tension and anxiety dissipated at this moment.

According to the rules, Jia Lian, the bridegroom official, should make three bows to the sedan chair, which means to express his love and respect for the bride.

After Jia Lian finished bowing, Mrs. Song Xi opened the sedan door, and then the bridesmaid helped Zhuang Jingrong get off the sedan chair and walked out slowly.

The moment he saw Zhuang Jingrong coming out of the sedan chair, Jia Lian raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a smile that was brighter than today's sunshine.

The people on the side gasped when they saw Jia Lian's beautiful smile.Whether it's a woman or a man, they all blushed slightly.

Zhuang Jingrong, who was wearing a red hijab, couldn't see Jia Lian's charming smile, and suddenly found that the atmosphere had quieted down, and then there was a gasp. He was very puzzled and worried, what happened?

Zhuang Jingrong was holding a porcelain vase in his hand, which contained five grains and four yellow and white rings.The bride's embrace of the porcelain vase was originally intended to ease the homesickness of the princess when she married far away, but later it became a symbol of wealth and became popular among the people.

Holding the treasure vase in his arms, Zhuang Jingrong walked slowly, supported by Mrs. Song Xi and the maid of honor.Because the bride's feet cannot occupy the ground, red carpets are spread around the bride's front and back.However, Jia Lian was already standing in front of the divine case of heaven and earth, holding a bow and arrow in his hand and wanted to shoot three arrows at the bride. Of course, he didn't really shoot the arrow at the bride, but shot three arrows in the direction of the bride. .

Setting three arrows means exorcising evil spirits, and shooting one arrow means taking a step back.

Jia Lian took a bow and arrow and shot three arrows lightly in the direction of Zhuang Jingrong.

After the three arrows are shot, it is the bride's turn to step over the saddle and then over the brazier.It means to burn all unlucky things, and the husband and wife will be more and more prosperous in the future.

After this series of etiquette, Xi Niang will hand over the wedding belt at this time, Jia Lian will lead one end, and Zhuang Jingrong will lead the other end.

At this time, Zhuang Jingrong could no longer let Mrs. Song Xi and the bridesmaids help him walk, but had to be led by Jia Lian.

Jia Lian led Zhuang Jingrong and walked slowly, because Zhuang Jingrong was wearing a red hijab and couldn't see the way when he walked. Jia Lian was afraid that she would fall, so he walked very slowly.

After walking for a while, the two finally came to the main hall.Jia Mu, Jia She, and Mrs. Xing had already sat in the main hall, waiting for them to salute.

Before worshiping heaven and earth, the two newlyweds should first bow to the three elders, kneel down and kowtow three times, which is very solemn.

Jia Mu, Jia She and the others wanted to give red envelopes to Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong. After the three gave the red envelopes, Jia Lian and the others stood up.

At this time, the auspicious time to worship heaven and earth arrived, and the bridesmaid began to chant loudly.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong turned around, faced the door of the hall, and bowed respectfully.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong turned around, faced the three elders sitting in the high hall, and slowly bent down.

"Bye husband and wife!"

Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong turned around and stood facing each other.

Looking at the woman standing opposite, Jia Lian smiled slightly.However, Zhuang Jingrong on the opposite side was wearing a hijab and couldn't see anything, but when she heard the "husband and wife worship", she took Xidai's hand and squeezed hard.

The two turned towards each other, slowly bent down, and bowed towards each other.

This prostration means that they have become husband and wife and will live together for a lifetime in the future.

Zhuang Jingrong, who was dressed up in the morning, has always been calm and calm, but at this moment, her heart suddenly tightened, and nervous emotions rushed into her heart.

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

Hearing this sentence, Jia Lian's face turned red slightly.Under the red hijab, Zhuang Jingrong's face was full of red clouds, and she was extremely shy.It was the first time she was so nervous and shy in such a big age.

Jia Lian led Zhuang Jingrong and walked slowly to the new house.

Many people have never been to Liuyuan Mansion. Even if they have been to Liuyuan Mansion, it is only in the hall or courtyard, and they have never been to the backyard.

At this time, the guests all looked shocked when they saw the backyard.

Before, when Jia Lian won the first prize in the examination, Emperor Longwu rewarded Jia Lian with this mansion and many good things to decorate the new house. He was very curious about how the emperor would decorate the Liuyuan Mansion. He thought it would not be bad, but he did not expect so good.

The courtyard of the new house is called "Qinglian Pavilion", which occupies a large area and has a very beautiful scenery.The whole yard is not luxuriously furnished, but very delicate and elegant.To be precise, the layout of the courtyard is more like gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

Seeing the scenery of the courtyard, everyone had only one feeling in their hearts, that the emperor really doted on Jia Lian.

Jia Lian led Zhuang Jingrong into the bedroom, and the two sat on a red bed.At this time, Mrs. Song Xi knelt down and pressed Jia Lian's left skirt on the right skirt of the bride Zhuang Jingrong, implying that men should overwhelm women.

After Mrs. Sending Xi has finished this action, the next step is to spread the happy fruit in the tent, that is, to spread the tent.

Generally, the sprinkled items include dates, chestnuts, peanuts, etc., and use homonyms to express "Zaolizi" and "Huanzhusheng".

The implication of spreading the tent... Jia Lian's face became more and more red.However, Zhuang Jingrong, who was sitting next to him, blushed enough to bleed.

After spreading the tent, the next step is to lift the hijab.

The maid at the side handed over the wedding title, and Jia Lian stood up and picked up the wedding title.

Before picking up the hijab, Jia Lian's heart beat fast again, and his palms were slightly sweaty.He quietly took a deep breath, calmed his beating heart, and lifted the red hijab little by little.

Zhuang Jingrong under the red hijab had his hands tightly twisted together, and his heart was beating violently.

Lifting the hijab, Zhuang Jingrong lowered his head.Then, Zhuang Jingrong raised his head slightly, revealing a peach blossom face.

That time in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Jia Lian quietly looked at Zhuang Jingrong, but he didn't look at her face carefully, but only took a rough look, thinking that she was quite handsome.Looking at it now, she looks very beautiful.

When the wives in the room saw Zhuang Jingrong's face, they all looked surprised and surprised. They didn't expect Zhuang Jingrong to be so good-looking.In the past, there were rumors in the capital that Zhuang Jingrong was a faceless girl, but looking at it now, no matter what the faceless girl is, she is clearly a delicate beauty.

Zhuang Jingrong raised his face, and the moment he saw Jia Lian standing in front of her, he stared helplessly.With it once, she met Jia Lian three times, but was amazed each time.

Jia Lian smiled gently at Zhuang Jingrong, and she was stunned by the smile. Fortunately, this time, she reacted quickly and came back to her senses quickly. A shy smile appeared on her flushed face, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Jia Lian again. .

Jia Lian's smile just now made her heart stop.

Not only Zhuang Jingrong was instantly killed by Jia Lian's gentle smile, the other people in the room, even the ladies who came to watch were also instantly killed by Jia Lian's smile.

My darling, the groom's smile is so pretty, it almost took their souls away.

After lifting the hijab, it is time to eat the cakes of the descendants, which were brought from the daughter-in-law's house as a gift to the wife.After eating the cakes of descendants, you also have to eat longevity noodles. The longevity noodles are prepared by the groom's official family, which means "children and grandchildren will live forever".

After Jia Lian and Zhuang Jingrong finished eating their offspring's pastries and longevity noodles, the next step was to drink a cup of wine.Use a red string to tie a wine glass at each end.

After taking the wine glass, Jia Lian put his hand around Zhuang Jingrong's arm.Zhuang Jingrong also raised his hand and wrapped it around Jia Lian's arm.The eyes of the two couldn't help but met, and their hearts were shocked, and a strange numbness rushed to their hearts.

Zhuang Jingrong lowered her eyes in shame, not daring to look at Jia Lian again.

Seeing the woman in front of him, flushed and shy, Jia Lian's heart tightened, and a wave of restlessness spread throughout his body.

His throat rolled down involuntarily, and Jia Lian realized that he had lost his composure, so he couldn't help being embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at Zhuang Jingrong again, and quickly lowered his head to drink.

The two drank half a glass each, then exchanged glasses and drank the wine in the glasses.

After drinking the cup of wine, the etiquette of getting married is basically completed.

The wives who came to see the excitement, Mrs. Song Xi, and the maids all retreated out one after another, leaving time and space for the two newcomers.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Jia Lian was at a loss for a while, sitting on the bed and looking around, but he didn't dare to look at the bride sitting beside him.

Zhuang Jingrong kept his head down, his hands tightly twisted together.Although I couldn't see her expression, I could guess that she was just as nervous as Jia Lian at this time.

Jia Lian felt that he was a man, he couldn't just sit like this all the time, he had to take the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Cough cough cough...that you..." Seeing that Zhuang Jingrong still wore a phoenix crown on his head, he knew it was very heavy at first glance, and he must be very tired when he pressed it on his head. "Let me help you take off the phoenix crown, it looks very heavy." look..."

Zhuang Jingrong responded in a low voice: "En."

Jia Lian stood up, reached out and carefully lifted the phoenix crown from Zhuang Jingrong's head.

The phoenix crown on his head was removed, and Zhuang Jingrong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt that his head was much lighter, and his neck was finally no longer tired.

Jia Lian weighed the phoenix coronet in his hand, and estimated it weighed several kilograms. It must be very tiring to carry this thing all day, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Putting the phoenix crown on the table beside him, Jia Lian looked at Zhuang Jingrong and asked with concern: "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"

Zhuang Jingrong raised his head, looked at Jia Lian with full eyes, and said shyly, "A little bit." He ate some cakes in the morning and noon, and didn't drink much water.It was so late now, and she was hungry and thirsty.

"I'll ask someone to prepare some meals." Jia Lian couldn't stay long, he had to go out to socialize, "Take a rest after you finish eating, I will try to come back early." Ming Wanju and the others told him that they would definitely not tonight Let him go.

"it is good."

Jia Lian went out and told Feng'er and Mother Zhao who were waiting at the door: "You go and get some food to serve the young lady."

"Yes, sir."

Jia Lian took a deep breath, and went out to socialize with pride and ambition.

When the guests saw the bridegroom came out, they started booing.Seeing the situation, Jia Lian knew that he was doomed tonight.

I don't know that these people are revenge Jia Lian for being favored by the emperor. When toasting, they toasted one cup after another.

Jia Lian is the bridegroom's official today, and these toasts cannot be refused, and he can only drink one after another. Fortunately, he took the anti-alcohol medicine in advance today, no matter how they poured him, he will not be drunk for the time being.

Rao drank the anti-alcohol medicine in advance, but after a lap, he was still a little drunk.

Seeing that he was drunk, everyone stopped embarrassing him anymore, after all, the groom had to enter the bridal chamber.

Jia Lian was supported by Xing'er and the others to leave the banquet. Seeing that Jia Lian was dragged back, Mammy Zhao asked Feng'er to bring the hangover medicine that she had prepared earlier.

Zhuang Jingrong had already finished his meal, so he simply washed up and sat obediently by the bed, waiting for Jia Lian to come back.

Xing'er and the others sent Jia Lian to the door and stopped holding him up.

Jia Lian waved his hand to let Xing'er and the others back down.

The maids guarding the door saw Jia Lian who was a little drunk. They seemed to be drunk too, and everyone's face was flushed.

Jia Lian stood at the door, didn't rush to open the door to go in, but shook his head, trying to wake himself up, then straightened his wrinkled clothes, gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Jia Lian's return, Zhuang Jingrong's heart instantly rose into his throat, nervous, restless, and looking forward to it.

"I'm sorry, I was drunk a lot. I'm a little drunk." Jia Lian didn't go to the bed, but sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in a very inconspicuous manner.

"are you OK?"

"Master, here comes the hangover medicine." Zhao Mama came in with the hangover medicine.

Jia Lian picked up the sober medicine, raised his head and drank it.

Feng'er came in with a basin of clear water, and handed Jia Lian a wet handkerchief.

Jia Lian took the towel and wiped his face, because the water was cold, and the cold temperature made him wake up a lot.

Zhao Momo asked: "Master, you haven't eaten all day today, would you like some food?"

Jia Lian nodded slightly: "Okay, prepare to order food." He hasn't eaten anything all day, and now his stomach is full of wine, and his stomach feels a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Mama and the others moved quickly, and brought several hot dishes.Then, they retreated sensibly.

"Would you like some more?"

"I'm full." Zhuang Jingrong stood up and walked to the table, "Let me serve you dinner."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "No need." He wasn't hungry at first, but when he smelled the aroma of the food, his stomach gurgled.

Uh... Jia Lian looked embarrassed.

Hearing the sound of Jia Lian's belly, Zhuang Jingrong's eyes were filled with a smile, and he said softly: "My husband is hungry, so hurry up and eat." After she finished speaking, she picked up a spoon, filled a bowl of soup for Jia Lian, and handed it to Jia Lian. Jia Lian said, "Husband, after drinking so much wine, drink some soup to warm your stomach before eating, it will make you feel better."

Jia Lian reached out to take the bowl of soup that Zhuang Jingrong handed over, and smiled at her: "Thank you."

Zhuang Jingrong was shocked by Jia Lian's smile again, but he soon came back to his senses.

"Would you like a drink?"

Zhuang Jingrong was already full, but she did not refuse Jia Lian's invitation.

"kindness."

She was about to scoop a bowl of soup for herself, but Jia Lian was quicker than her and filled her with a bowl of soup.

"Thank you husband."

"You're welcome."

Zhuang Jingrong drank the soup slowly, as if he was eating with Jia Lian.

After Jia Lian finished his soup, he ate another bowl of rice.

Nanny Zhao and the others came in and removed the food from the table, and made another cup of tea for Jia Lian.

While drinking tea, Jia Lian secretly observed Zhuang Jingrong, his every move was really elegant.

Zhuang Jingrong felt Jia Lian's gaze, and his fair little face was slightly flushed, feeling excited and shy at the same time.

After Jia Lian finished his tea, he put down the cup in his hand and said to Zhuang Jingrong, "I'm going to wash up."

"kindness."

Jia Lian went to the ear room, took a bath, washed away all the fatigue of the day, and recovered her spirit.

Back in the bedroom, seeing that Zhuang Jingrong was already lying on the bed, Jia Lian's heart tightened, and there was a hot feeling under his body.

The light in the bedroom was too bright, so Jia Lian went to cut off the wick of the candle to make the candle light dim.According to the rules, the candles in the new house cannot be extinguished for three days when they get married.

Lying on the bed, facing the inner wall, Zhuang Jingrong felt that the candlelight had suddenly dimmed a lot, and she suddenly became very nervous. Her heart was beating like a drum, beating very loudly, and she felt that the whole room was Afraid Jia Lian would hear her heartbeat, she clutched her left chest tightly.

Jia Lian lifted the quilt and lay down beside Zhuang Jingrong.

Sensing the presence of Jia Lian behind him, Zhuang Jingrong closed his eyes tightly with a nervous expression on his face.

Jia Lian turned her head to look at Zhuang Jingrong who was lying beside her with her back to him. Although she couldn't see her expression, it could be seen from her tense back that she was nervous.

Although he felt awkward, he still wanted to enter the bridal chamber.It's awkward because I think Zhuang Jingrong is too young, only 17 years old.

After building himself up in his heart, Jia Lian began to move. He raised his body and put his hand on Zhuang Jingrong's arm. He clearly felt Zhuang Jingrong's body tremble.

"Mirror appearance." Jia Lian called softly.

Probably because Jia Lian's voice was too gentle, Zhuang Jingrong's stiff body suddenly relaxed, turned sideways, and lay face-on on the bed, looking at Jia Lian timidly.

Jia Lian supported Zhuang Jingrong's body with both hands, lowered her head and looked at her with burning eyes, her voice was a little hoarse: "Don't be afraid, I will be very gentle."
