Not long after Gu Qingyuan closed her eyes, she was called up. The maids waited on her to bathe, change clothes, and dress up. She was played with by everyone like a puppet for a long time.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the auspicious moment was coming, and the groom was still missing.
There was a moderate amount of discussion in her ears, and it came into her ears clearly...
"The auspicious time is approaching, why hasn't the Hou Mansion come to the door yet? There is no sound of blowing or beating at all..."
"Is it possible that the groom escaped from the marriage? Is the eldest girl of the Gu family trying to make a joke?"
"I heard that someone saw Lord Lu leaving the city at the city gate last night..."
"Speaking of which, today's bride is just the adopted daughter of the second wife, and she has a pretty good reputation, tsk tsk..."
…
Gu Qingyuan seemed not to hear anything and closed her eyes.
In the front yard, the guests were also whispering, and everyone had the same surprised look on their faces when Pei Jinting appeared.
His appearance made the entire wedding hall seem to light up.
Although the guests who come to the wedding banquet are well-dressed, they will not choose to wear bright red clothes, so as not to conflict with the clothes of the bride and groom and overwhelm the guests.
This young master is quite good. He is still dressed in flamboyant red clothes, with a stunning face and a flamboyant demeanor. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he was today's groom.
He shook his folding fan, walked lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at the corners of his lips, as if he were in his own house. Every time he passed a table, he signaled everyone to eat and drink well.
Everyone laughed.
The third son of Duke Cheng'en has always acted recklessly and ignored the opinions of others.
There was a table of dandies at the table. One of them, who was usually on good terms with Pei Jinting, was the first to react from his stupor, and his tone was extremely solemn.
"Tsk, Pei San, are you here to snatch and kiss me?"
Pei Jinting calmly put the folding fan in his hand into his waistband and said truthfully,
"If the Gu family girl is snatched away and her reputation is ruined, the saint will not eat my son..."
The dude who asked the question widened his eyes, his face full of secrecy, and stretched out his hand to ask Pei Jinting to listen.
"If you really rob it, maybe the Gu family will thank you. Do you know why the Lu family's sedan chair hasn't come to the door yet?"
"That bitch Lu Wenze is not in the city at all. The poor eldest daughter of the Gu family is going to be laughed at."
Gu Qingyuan is beautiful, and the princes in the capital like her a lot.
It's just that she is too virtuous, and because of her special status, no one dares to talk to her family about the marriage proposal.
It’s actually cheaper than Lu Wenze.
Pei Jinting tapped his fingers on the table and nodded with deep understanding.
"If this young master steals a bride, he will be doing good deeds and accumulating virtue..."
The dandy didn't even notice that there was something wrong in Pei Jinting's words, so he said righteously,
"you're right."
"If you let that bitch Lu Wenze get married, the Lu family will soon have a new child."
Those of them who are not married are not being pushed to death by their families.
What are the benefits of getting married? There are many girls in the flower houses by the river in the suburbs of Beijing.
I don’t know how to care about the east and the west.
Pei Jinting glanced at the indignant dandy across from him, and the smile on his face that was like the spring breeze in April faded a lot, making the man feel even more frightened. Finally, he said in a neutral tone,
"Then let me do something good and meritorious today."
Under the dandy's incredulous gaze, Pei Jinting walked away.
The dandy slapped his companion who was having a drunken meal next to him and said, "Does it hurt? I'm not dreaming. Trouble comes from the mouth. Trouble comes from the mouth. I've kidnapped my bride, I've kidnapped my bride..."
The companion rubbed his head in pain and looked at him like a fool.
After the auspicious time, the wedding sedan disappeared and the groom did not come to the door. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xi Niang kept saying sweet words around Gu Qingyuan, for fear of being left out.
Gu Qingyuan, who understood everything, didn't care.
After waiting for a while, she vaguely heard the sound of playing outside, and Xi Niang shouted happily, "The groom is here, the groom is here."
At the same time, he helped Gu Qingyuan walk outside the house.
