Chapter 655 Getting Married (6)
The sedan bearers, who were composed of bodyguards, put the bride down at the gate tower. Sun Shan opened the curtain of the sedan, and Aunt Sun quickly opened the red umbrella and held it for Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er.
Sun Shan held one end of the red silk and Yun Jieer held the other end.
Sun Shan carefully led Yun Jie'er through the gate building, and then another burst of firecrackers rang out.
Sun Shan walked forward step by step, and Yun Jie'er followed him step by step from behind. Soon they arrived at the Sun family's old house.
When the uncle from the family saw this, he shouted, "The bride and groom are back, prepare the brazier."
After waiting for a long time, fortune teller Yang came out and said, "The auspicious time has arrived."
Then there was another burst of firecrackers, and then Sun Shan followed the crowd, with Yun Jie'er following behind.
Someone called out, "Bride, be careful and step through the gate."
After Sister Yun stepped in, she said a series of auspicious words.
Afterwards, Sister Yun stepped over the fire basin and said a series of auspicious words.
Sun Shan, holding the red silk, led Yun Jie'er to the hall quickly.
Huang, Sun Boming, and Su were already sitting there.
Afterwards, they worshipped heaven and earth, worshipped the court, and the couple worshipped each other.
Afterwards, Sun Shan brought Yun Jie'er into the new house.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er were like puppets, being led by others.
They do whatever others tell them to do.
Of course, Sister Yun had a harder time. After all, she was covered with a red veil throughout the whole process and couldn't see clearly. Not only was she numb, but she was also clumsy.
Now that we have finally entered the bridal chamber, we can take a break.
Soon, Aunt Li, the aunt, came over with a ruyi scale and said with a smile, "Groom, come and lift the veil."
Sun Shan followed the instructions, picked up the pole, and opened Yun Jie'er's red cover.
When I saw it clearly, I was shocked.
Yun Jie'er's face was covered with white powder, as if it was free of charge. They applied it as thickly as possible, making Yun Jie'er look unrecognizable.
If Yun Jie and I hadn’t been childhood sweethearts, I would have been scared away by her.
A group of children were already at the front line, and when they saw the bride, they screamed loudly.
The little kid shouted to play, and then the kids around him started shouting too.
Xiaozi ran forward and asked curiously, "Aunt Yun, why are you dressed like this? I almost don't recognize you."
Then the boy was patted lightly, and his mother, Kong, said unhappily, "Why call her Aunt Yun? Call her Cousin Aunt."
Before the boy wanted to say anything, Kong had already taken him away, fearing that the naughty boy might say something wrong.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw it.
Sister Yun was very nervous when being seen by so many people, but after doing this, she was not nervous anymore.
Sister Yun lowered her head and didn't dare to look around. Although she was not nervous, she was still shy.
After everyone had a clear look at what the bride looked like, Aunt Sun came in and said, "Okay, now that we've seen the bride, everyone can go. The mat is about to be spread."
The child didn't want to go out. He wanted to see clearly what was on the bride's face and why it was so white.
Sun Shan said to Douzi, "Douzai, take your brothers and sisters out to play."
Douzai is the great-eldest grandson of the Sun family. He is old, has greater responsibilities, and understands more.
He nodded and said, "Uncle Shan, I understand. Aunt Shan must be tired, she needs to have a good rest and can't be disturbed."
Sun Shan said approvingly, "Yes, Douzi is right. He is very sensible!"
Soon all the children were taken away by Douzai.
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Sister Yun, take a rest first. I'll go out and get you some food. You must be exhausted, so you need to rest. If you need anything, call Aunt Sun."
Aunt Sun is an acquaintance of both Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er. Coming over to ask and take a look may make Yun Jie'er feel more at ease.
Sister Yun nodded gently and said, "Aunt, I understand."
Aunt Sun said to Sun Shan, "Take care of Yun Jie'er here. I'll have someone prepare meals for you. You must be exhausted on the journey. Eat some food now because you have to go out to entertain the guests later."
Sun Shan quickly agreed.
After everyone left, only Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er were left.
Sun Shan walked forward quietly and pretended to casually hold Yun Jie'er's plump little hand.
Yun Jieer was startled, and then lowered her head even more. As for whether her face was red or not, it was impossible to tell because her face was covered with a thick layer of white powder, so it was impossible to see.
Sun Shan tried to speak gently, "Sister Yun, did you get up very early today? Oh, I was woken up in the middle of the night to dress up. I must be very tired."
Yun Jieer quietly raised her head and asked curiously, "Brother Shan, why do you want to dress up too? Isn't it only girls who need to dress up?"
In fact, Sister Yun wanted to say: Brother Shan, I just saw that you have an extra piece of red satin on your body and two extra flowers on your hat, so there is no need to get up early and dress up.
Sun Shan was just making small talk because it would be awkward otherwise, and he also wanted Yun Jie'er to not be nervous and relax.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Yun Jie'er immediately broke free from Sun Shan's hand and sat upright.
It was Su who came in. When she saw Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er, she immediately said, "Shanzi, Yun Jie'er, come and eat. You must be hungry. You went out to meet the bride early in the morning and came back in the afternoon. Oh, you are so tired.
Su brought in two large bowls of food.
Su placed it on the table and called Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er to come and eat: "You two should eat quickly, you will be busy later. Especially Shanzi, you will have to go out to greet guests later. There are many people coming today. Many people came to eat lunch, and they said they were in a hurry to go home, so come and eat early."
Su kept muttering to herself and didn't talk to Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er at all.
Sun Shan was indeed hungry, and said to Sister Yun, "Sister Yun, let's eat first. Otherwise, we won't have time to eat later."
Yun Jie'er didn't want to eat, even though she was very hungry. But when she saw her mother-in-law bringing food in, she didn't know what to do.
It was already awkward to be alone with Sun Shan, and now that Su came in, I had no idea how to get along.
Yun Jieer saw that the food had been brought in. She felt that if she didn't eat it, it would seem like she was not giving face to her mother-in-law, so she had to bite the bullet, walk to the table, and eat carefully, taking small bites.
When Su saw Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er eating, she was very happy.
He wished he could drive the guests away immediately so that Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er could have their bridal chamber quickly and prepare to have their grandson the next day.
Su whispered, "Shanzi, the county magistrate has also sent someone to give us a gift. How should we respond? Your father and I don't understand, so we'll just accept it and deal with it when you come back."
Su still remembered that Sun Shan had offended Lord Tang. Now Lord Tang actually sent him a gift. She didn't know how to deal with these things, so she had to accept it first.
When Sun Shan got married, he sent wedding invitations to all the people he knew. It would be unreasonable to skip just Magistrate Tang among so many people. At least they had no apparent grudges against each other.
I sent it over out of courtesy, but I didn't expect Lord Tang to send me a gift, and I don't know what he sent.
But we can deal with these things tomorrow. Anyway, Lord Tang is there and we can’t move away or get rid of him.
After dinner, Sun Shan asked his sister and younger sister, a few obedient girls from his family, to come and accompany Yun Jieer.
Sun Bomin had already been outside urging Sun Shan to hurry over to the ancestral hall to greet the guests.
The guests who came to the banquet all asked where the groom was. If he didn't leave, it would be unreasonable.
