Chapter 51 The Gift

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and Mrs. Quan shouted outside the wedding room: "The groom is here to welcome the bride!"

Jiang Changning looked through the fan and saw the man walking in.

If it is the most beautiful day for a woman to be a bride, then it is the most handsome day for a man to be a groom.

He is already a handsome man, and he looks even more dazzling when he wears auspicious clothes.

"The groom bows." Mrs. Quan said in a loud voice.

"He Lianyu has met the lady, she is polite." The king of Jin bowed.

He got his wish and saw Jiang Changning in his wedding dress, and he was really amazed.

Jiang Changning smiled slightly behind the fan. At this time in her life, a woman can receive a great gift from her husband, the only great gift.

"Princess, please get up." Mrs. Xi, who came from the palace, stepped forward to help Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning took a step forward, and Mrs. Xi said: "With one step, you don't have to worry about glory and wealth."

Taking another step, Mrs. Xi said: "Take two steps, and we will fly together and grow old together."

"If you walk three steps, your children and grandchildren will be around your knees."

With the support of Mrs. Quan and Mrs. Xi, Jiang Changning walked to Prince Jin step by step.

King Jin took her out to the wedding hall, where the newly built Duke and the eldest princess of Jiashan would act as the woman's elders today.

The newlyweds knelt down to listen to the lesson. The new county official said with a straight face: "We are married as husband and wife, and we have made a promise of white hair. I hope that you two will respect and love each other and stay with each other."

The eldest princess of Jiashan said very directly: "Chun'an is a good girl, Yu'er, you should treat her well. Chun'an, if Yu'er dares to bully you, just come and tell me, and I will make the decision for you."

"Your Majesty is a gentleman and will not bully Changning." Jiang Changning said softly.

King Jin glanced sideways at Jiang Changning, she was very lovable.

The eldest princess of Jiashan did not get along with her for long before she was included in her protection.

But this was something he was happy to see come to fruition, and it was also his purpose in making the eldest princess of Jiashan her Quanfu wife.

The eldest princess of Jiashan took the red hijab and covered Jiang Changning's head, "The bride is leaving."

When the orchestra started playing, it was all festive and joyful music.

Walking to the door, King Jin smiled and said: "Princess, please get on the sedan chair."

Mrs. Quan and Mrs. Xi helped Jiang Changning onto the sedan chair. As soon as the curtains embroidered with phoenix and peonies were opened, the light inside the sedan chair dimmed.

"Get up the sedan." the master of ceremonies shouted.

King Jin got on his horse with a proud look on his face.

The sedan chair walked around the main road in the capital. The bearer carried it very steadily and did not sway to embarrass the bride in the sedan chair.

The scenery of swaggering through the city was beautiful, but it took a little long. It was almost two hours, and Jiang Changning was so hungry that she felt weak. She even doubted whether she could hold on to complete the wedding.

Amidst the sounds of congratulations, the team welcoming the bride finally arrived outside the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Listening to the crackling firecrackers outside the sedan, Jiang Changning felt that his ears were going deaf.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, I heard the master of ceremonies shout again: "Get off the sedan!"

Then the sedan curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Quan's voice sounded, "Princess, please get off the sedan."

Jiang Changning stretched out his hand and put it on Mrs. Quan's hand.

With the support of two women, she got out of the sedan.

A red silk hand was stuffed into her hand, "Princess, we are entering."

After entering the palace gate, I walked through one door after another and walked through one corridor after another amid auspicious words.

Finally, when we arrived at the wedding hall where the ceremony was held, Princess Jin was already sitting high in the hall, with a smile on her face, but it was not as deep as her eyes.

Sitting on the chair next to her was a seven or eight-year-old little girl, Princess Kangren, the niece of King Jin.

Mrs. Qiao is a widow, so she has to avoid such a big day.

After the chamberlain sent by the Queen Mother read out the reward decree, the worship of heaven and earth officially began.

Bow to heaven and earth once, kneel down, and kowtow three times.

The second time is to bow to the high hall, kneel down, and the third time to kowtow.

The husband and wife bow to each other, kneel and kowtow three times.

"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber." the master of ceremonies said loudly.

Jiang Changning was helped into the new house, sat on the wedding bed, and waited for the King of Jin to unveil his head.

"The bridegroom received the wedding scale, and he was happy with the scale." Mrs. Quan presented the mahogany scale to the King of Jin with both hands.

Mrs. Xi continued: "Please choose a hijab for the bridegroom. The couple will be harmonious for a hundred years."

King Jin took the scale and took off the hijab on Jiang Changning's head.

The bright light made Jiang Changning squint his eyes slightly.

Prince Jin sat down next to Jiang Changning, and the two women began to go through the process in the bridal chamber.

First, tie the corners of their clothes together, then cut out a strand of their hair and tie them together, which is called a hair knot.

Jiang Changning's eyes flashed slightly, this was a ritual only for the first wife.

King Jin is marrying her according to the ceremony of his first wife.

When it comes to acting, you don’t need to act like this, right?

The mother-in-law brought a red jade carved Double Happiness Cup, "The newlyweds drink a cup of wine."

When drinking Hexin wine, Jiang Changning paid attention to the man's clean and delicate jaw.

What King Jin paid attention to was Jiang Changning's fair and slender hands. The ruby ​​cups highlighted the fingers, which made her skin as white as snow.

Both of them were satisfied with what they saw.

Eating raw dumplings, Jiang Changning pretended to be shy and lowered his head as the wife said, "The bride talks about rawness."

Jiang Changning couldn't control such a difficult thing like making his face turn red.

Then came the tent spreading. While throwing red dates, peanuts, longan and other things on the two people, they chanted the lyrics of the tent spreading, "Throwing the tent east and spreading the tent east, the bridegroom is like a flower-gathering bee... Today is a double success at night, but the chicken in the cage announces the dawn."

... My dear guests, go and have a drink, and we made a marriage promise five hundred years ago."

After the process was completed, King Jin was about to go out for a toast, and said softly: "Princess, I'll be back as soon as I go."

Jiang Changning lowered his head and responded softly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will accompany the Princess." A middle-aged woman smiled.

When King Jin went out, the woman said: "Princess, by the way, you should call me cousin. I am the concubine's eldest nephew-in-law. My maiden name is Chen."

"Cousin," Jiang Changning called politely.

Mrs. Gu Chen introduced three other women to her, all of whom were from the natal family of the Dowager Princess of Jin.

After chatting for a while, Fang Ju led the maid in with a food box, "The prince was afraid that the girl would be hungry, so he specially asked the cook to prepare some easy-to-digest meals for the girl to eat."

The Gu and Chen family immediately praised King Jin, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful about things."

"The prince is so kind to the princess. He was afraid that the princess would be hungry, so he specially asked the cook to prepare food."

Jiang Changning wanted to eat, so several women and two mothers-in-law left, leaving only Jiang Changning's master and servant in the room.

"Help me take off this crown first." Jiang Changning said, holding his neck.

Take off the Zhai crown weighing more than ten kilograms, take off the heavy dragon and phoenix bracelet on your wrist, and take off the heavy wedding dress.

Take off your makeup, wash your face and hands, sit down at the table and eat freshly.

Jiang Changning, who was overly hungry, did not notice that one of the maids Fang Ju brought in was missing.

Xiulan noticed it, but it was not a good time to ask questions at this time.

After finishing a bowl of stomach-warming porridge that strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, Jiang Changning felt like he was alive again and did not become the first bride to starve to death on her wedding night.
