Chapter 217 Grand Wedding
Chapter 217 Grand Wedding
The wedding procession meandered forward like a long red dragon, so majestic that there was no end in sight. This huge procession stretched for miles, and was truly a magnificent sight.
The groom in the front is wearing a gorgeous and dazzling red brocade suit, which shines brightly under the sunlight.
He was riding a majestic tall black horse, looking very imposing and majestic. Next to this horse was a chestnut horse. Both horses had a big red flower on their necks and were dressed in festive attire.
Ji Chen's handsome face was filled with a happy smile, which had not faded since he woke up in the morning.
Following closely behind Ji Chen was a group of tall and energetic guards. They were dressed in red clothes and marched in unison, each holding brightly colored flags and exquisite lanterns in their hands.
There were also joyful sounds played along the way, making the whole scene lively and lively.
These guards had all followed Ji Chen to the battlefield. They were well-trained and looked serious and focused, as if they were showing the majesty and glory of General Ji to the world.
The streets were packed with people, and countless people who came to watch the fun had surrounded the place tightly, leaving no gaps.
They all had smiles on their faces, cheered and jumped happily, and gave their most sincere and simple blessings.
General Ji is defending the stability of their country at the border, and Young Master Wen does good deeds for their people every year. Who wouldn't appreciate this?
The blessings for the two of them were floating all over the sky.
The shops along the way also hung up big red lanterns, which fluttered in the wind, looking particularly festive.
They not only add a festive atmosphere to the whole scene, but also seem to convey a silent blessing to the newlyweds: May you be prosperous and long-lasting.
Jiang Ci also wanted to see how spectacular the welcoming scene was, but as soon as he came out, he saw people standing in three layers on both sides of the road. There were even people at the back who were standing on stools to watch. It was impossible for him to squeeze in.
Lin Jingsheng pointed to the window of the private room on the second floor of the restaurant and said, "Let's go up there and take a look."
They requested a private room at a restaurant. It wasn't that they didn't want other rooms, but there was only one luxurious room left.
The others were all kept by young ladies and young men of some status in the capital.
Jiang Ci looked at the spectacular scene below and was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
This was much more spectacular than what he had seen on TV before, not to mention that it was real, which gave him an extra layer of shock.
When they arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the groom dismounted from his horse, walked forward and gently knocked on the door with a big red wedding character on it.
With a slight "creak" sound, the door slowly opened. Two rows of festively dressed servants stood inside the door. Ji Chen entered the Duke's Mansion to welcome the bride.
Wen Yuting was wearing an extremely gorgeous wedding dress, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns. She looked vivid under the sunlight.
His skin was whiter than snow, his eyebrows were as black as distant ink, and his rosy lip rouge made his gorgeous facial features even more beautiful. He was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, as if he had walked out of a painting.
When Ji Chen saw Wen Yu listening, he subconsciously held his breath.
Next, a series of traditional wedding welcoming ceremonies were carried out. After completion, Wen Yuting, wearing an intricate and exquisite wedding dress, nimbly got on another horse.
The people watching the excitement on both sides of the road were all dazzled by Wen Yuting. She was so beautiful, and her neat movements were even more eye-catching.
The wedding procession moves forward.
The entire wedding process was solemn and lively, and every detail demonstrated the respected status and extraordinary momentum of the princes and nobles.
This grand wedding is a rare event since the founding of the country.
The mansion was decorated with lights and red lanterns hung high, like a colorful painting before people's eyes.
The endless red ribbon fluttered in the wind, announcing to the world the grandeur and solemnity of this wedding.
The air was filled with a strong festive atmosphere, which made people immersed in it and feel the happiness and joy. Even those who usually disliked each other in the court and would quarrel at the slightest disagreement, and even the emperor could not do anything about them, stood together in harmony.
When you see someone coming, you can exchange a few words with them.
"Master Zhang is here."
"My rebellious son is ignorant and delayed me a bit. I came a little late."
"Not too late, not too late. The wedding procession hasn't arrived yet."
The whole mansion was filled with laughter and joy, and the guests dressed up and congratulated each other.
The sound of joy is always close, with firecrackers blasting and gongs and drums roaring.
All the people who were originally sitting or standing in the courtyard lobby stood up and looked towards the door.
Ji Chen and Wen Yuting walked into the main hall which was decorated festively and solemnly, holding Hongchou's hand.
Under the gaze of everyone, the newlyweds stood facing each other and bowed deeply three times.
First, bow to heaven and earth to express gratitude for this God-given beautiful marriage; second, bow to parents to thank them for raising them; husband and wife bow to each other, make a promise to stay together for life, and then enter the bridal chamber.
There was thunderous applause and blessings coming from the audience. In fact, the two of them just looked at each other and everything was said without words.
At the banquet, there was a dazzling array of delicacies, the aroma of fine wine and delicious food, and everyone raised their glasses to wish the two a happy marriage.
Dashun did not have too many complicated rules on etiquette.
Unmarried women and men had to sit separately, but young couples like them could sit together.
However, if there is a couple at this table, then the other people at the table are almost all couples as well.
The emperor made an exception and asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange their wedding and host a banquet for all officials in the court. Yue En and Li Guiyun were also fortunate enough to attend such a grand wedding. There was also a similar couple who did not know each other and they sat at the same table together.
The people sitting at these tables were all young people who did not hold any official positions in the capital, and their fathers were not high-ranking officials either.
Therefore, there are no domineering and arrogant people, because there is simply no capital for them in this capital.
Besides, it was the wedding of Ji Chen and Wen Yuting. No matter how big the grudge was, they didn't dare to make a scene here.
Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng, two new faces that looked quite eye-catching, attracted quite a lot of people's attention while sitting here.
Someone whispered to the person next to him, "Who are the young and good-looking couple sitting over there? I don't think I've seen them before, but they must be officials who just came to the capital."
"As for those two, I heard from others that the man is Lin Jingsheng. When he returned from the Northwest battlefield, he was appointed a sixth-rank military officer, but he resigned. The man sitting next to him is naturally his husband."
"Oh! When you mentioned this, I remembered that it was the person who followed General Ji. When he came back this year, many people wanted to get close to him, but they didn't expect that he would just go back to his hometown."
"We have been in the capital for more than ten days, and no one has come forward. To put it bluntly, they are trying to climb the social ladder and have taken a fancy to him to be with General Ji."
These people have nothing to do at home, so they have heard a lot of gossip about the entire capital.
Jiang Ci whispered to Lin Jingsheng beside her, "Why do I always feel like someone is secretly watching us?"
"Are you still afraid to look? Our Ah Ci is so beautiful!"
Jiang Ci followed Lin Jingsheng's words and said, "Who said I was scared? Look openly, I won't refuse anyone."
Lin Jingsheng put a piece of fish meat with the fish bones removed in the Jiang porcelain bowl and said, "Eat it quickly."
How could Lin Jingsheng not notice that some people were looking at them with curious eyes, so Lin Jingsheng didn't care.
