Chapter Thirty-Six: When the Wedding Is in Progress

The eighth day of April is suitable for traveling and getting married.

"What?" Xiao Qinyan had just learned that the marriage between Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er had not been cancelled, and he couldn't help but raised eyebrows: "What on earth did Zhao Pan'er think? He actually wanted to marry Fan'er? No, I don't agree with this marriage.

"

Seeing that Xiao Qinyan was going to ruin the wedding, Xiao Zhong had no choice but to continue reporting: "Ms. sir, my wife rushed to Qiantang overnight last night. I'm afraid she's at the second young master's house now."

He learned that his wife had actually received the news and came over. Based on Xiao Qinyan's understanding of his wife, the marriage could not be ruined.

"In that case, let's go to Fan'er's house and have a cup of tea as a newlywed."

............

Xiao Fan got up before dawn to prepare for today's wedding. He washed and dressed under the service of his servants, and put on a bright red groom's suit.

Just when he was about to see how other things were prepared, he saw an extravagantly dressed woman rushing in: "Fan'er!"

The person who came was none other than his biological mother Qian Wan'er of the Qian family, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and Xiao Qinyan's first wife.

Xiao Fan hurriedly greeted him: "Mom, you're finally here? I was afraid you wouldn't be able to catch up!"

Qian hugged Xiao Fan excitedly: "Fan'er, you don't know how happy I was when I received the news from you. When I knew that you were okay, I felt like I was alive again. A few days ago, your father said that you were in Fu

Chun was attacked by water bandits, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Mom really felt that life was meaningless."

"Mom, I also wanted to inform you earlier, but I suffered from amnesia before and can't remember the past. As soon as I regained my memory a few days ago, I sent a letter to you as soon as possible."

Xiao Fan then briefly told Mr. Qian the story of how he was rescued by Zhao Pan'er after falling into the water, and how he fell in love with her.

"Stop talking about this, didn't your letter say that you are getting married today? My mother asked Prince Qian's Mansion to help prepare a guard of honor for the wedding in advance. It must be more elegant than the guard of honor you had before. If you hadn't been in such a hurry,

Mom will definitely help you make it as beautiful as possible."

"Mom, so you don't object to my marriage?"

"Why should I object? Isn't it just that the other party is just a businesswoman who quit her country and became a good person? And although this marriage is not in line with the rules, as long as you like it, mother will help you make the decision. Isn't your father here too?

Let him sit in the high hall with me later." Mrs. Qian seemed extremely happy about her son's wedding today.

Qian held Xiao Fan as if she had countless things to say, but she didn't stop until Jia Quan ran over to remind him that the time was up and he had to go to the wedding.

"Mom, you wait here, I will pick up your daughter-in-law and serve you tea." Xiao Fan happily said to Qian and took Jia Quan to welcome the bride.

The wedding team prepared by Qian was indeed much more luxurious than the team Xiao Fan had prepared before.

At the front are pairs of cards that read "Welcome to the Marriage" and "Xiao Zhao Marriage" to open the way, followed by a team of nearly 20 people playing gongs, drums and suona.

Xiao Fan, dressed in a bright red groom's uniform, rode on a tall maroon horse, followed closely by an eight-carriage sedan, followed by dozens of maids and servants carrying various betrothal gifts.

At the same time, Zhao Pan'er was telling her parents that their daughter was getting married in front of her parents' memorial tablets in the house, and asked them for their blessings.

"Father and mother, please allow your daughter to show her."

"Now that I'm getting married, I don't dare to be independent."

"Four o'clock and eight festivals, there is constant incense."

"Tell the two elders that I will take pity on you."

"It is natural for a man to marry a woman to marry."

"If there is good luck and happiness, both husband and wife will be happy."

"No disaster, no trouble, forever guaranteed for a hundred years."

"Like fish and water, sweeter than honey."

"Pan'er, it's time to put on makeup." Sun Sanniang came over and supported Zhao Pan'er and said, "The groom will be here soon."

Zhao Pan'er was sitting in front of the dressing table, feeling inexplicably nervous, and said to Xiao Zhao next to her: "Xiao Zhao, go and pour me a glass of wine."

Seeing this, Sun Sanniang joked: "We hope that our children will show their timidity sometimes."

"Sanniang, you are annoying."

"Okay, okay, let's stop laughing at the bride and hurry up and put on her makeup. It seems that not only the groom can't wait, but I think the bride is also impatient."

While the bride was being teased by Sanniang and others, Xiao Fan, the groom, was also blocked by Zhao Pan'er's best friends and neighbors, including the wives of the brothers whom he recognized.

"It's not easy to marry our Pan'er. We have to pass the Xiao Guanren examination to get in!"

When he heard that these people who were blocking the entrance wanted to take the exam for himself, Xiao Fan shouted boldly: "Okay, what do you want to take the exam for?"

"I'll come first, I'll come first," Liu Sandao coaxed, "I heard that Mr. Xiao is both civil and military. There is a two-hundred-jin stone lock here. As long as Mr. Xiao lifts it ten times, you will pass."

"What's so difficult about this?"

The two-hundred-jin stone lock was a piece of cake for Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan stepped forward and lifted the stone lock with one hand to try, then threw the stone lock into the air a foot high. When the stone lock fell, he caught it with one hand.

After repeating it ten times, everyone present was stunned.

"How is it? You passed the test, right?" Xiao Fan said with a proud look on his face.

"Okay, I've passed the martial arts test. I've heard that Officer Xiao is very talented in literature, so why not write a poem to encourage makeup. Once everyone feels it's good, you can go in and pick up the bride." Unexpectedly, Su Jiang'er was so ordinary.

People who seemed so cold actually joined in the fun.

The people on the side also cheered and shouted: "Yes! Make makeup-inducing poems!"

"This makeup poem is not difficult. What is difficult is that you hide my Pan'er and prevent her from going out." Xiao Fan thought for a moment and said, "I will write a poem. You guys listen."

"The golden chariot is afraid of the east wind when it wants to go up, but when it clears out the clouds it sees the moon and the drunken sky."

"I am so shy that I am half vomiting in my fairy posture, and my ice porcelain is white and slightly red."

Xiao Zhao relayed Xiao Fan's makeup-inducing poem to Zhao Pan'er, which caused Zhao Pan'er, who was drinking to relieve tension, to choke and cough, and murmured to himself: "He really understands me!"

"By the way, Sister Pan'er, what do these lines of the master's poem mean? As soon as he finished reading it, Madam Su and the others were cheering." Xiao Zhao was very puzzled.

At this time, Zou Hui, who was accompanying Zhao Pan'er on her make-up, joked: "This is saying that our Pan'er, it's time to get on the sedan. Let Pan'er drink a few more sips of wine to build up his courage. The wine glass is empty, and our courage is gone."

Now that I’m older, my face has turned red, and I’ve even skipped rouge.”

"Look at Xiao Fan, I've really seen you through Pan'er! Stop dawdling and get up quickly. You'll still have to go out if you dawdle anymore." After finishing speaking, Sun Sanniang said to Xiao Zhao: "Xiao Zhao,

Don't stay here anymore, go and help your master and ask the people blocking the door to stop embarrassing him."

As soon as Xiao Zhao arrived at the door, she saw that the defense of the person blocking the door instantly collapsed under Xiao Fan's red envelope offensive, and even she had two red envelopes stuffed into her hand.

Xiao Fan rushed into the main room and saw Sun Sanniang standing there supporting Zhao Pan'er who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and holding a fan to cover her face.

Xiao Fan took Zhao Pan'er to the memorial tablets of her parents in the hall. After serving tea to the memorial tablets of the two elders, he said: "Please rest assured, second elders, I will treat Pan'er well in the future and stay with her till we grow old together."

"Father, mother, my daughter is getting married today, and I have been treated very well by my father. I hope that the spirits of you two in heaven can keep us safe and happy."

After Zhao Pan'er said goodbye to her parents, Xiao Fan held her hand and carried her into the sedan chair amid the sound of drums.

Putting down the sedan curtain, Xiao Fan happily rode on his tall horse and carried Zhao Pan'er in an eight-carat sedan. They circled around the street for a long time before heading back.

Pedestrians on the road looked at such an impressive wedding procession and couldn't help but start talking.

"Whose family is getting married? The battle is so big!"

"I heard that he is the second son of Mr. Xiao's family, and he is married to Mrs. Zhao from Zhao's Tea Shop."

"But didn't I hear that Mrs. Zhao once worked as a singer?"

"I heard..."

Naturally, Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er couldn't hear the comments of passers-by. They were both immersed in the joy of the wedding.
