The Duke's Mansion was shrouded in red, with red lanterns and red ribbons hung on the trees and in front of the door, and even the attendants were hung with red sashes.
I'm afraid that others don't know that today is the happy day for Mr. Gu to marry his first wife.
The carriages lined up from the street to the end of the street, and they were all Gu family members, relatives, friends, and colleagues who came to congratulate him.
Gu Yu wore a red wedding dress and rode a tall horse to pick up Ji Miaoxian from the village.
Ten miles of red makeup, eight carriages of a large sedan chair, making others envious.
Because there were attendants from the Gu family scattering money and candies along the way, people onlookers kept saying good luck.
After finally arriving in front of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, Gu Yu got off his horse and forced himself to smile in front of everyone.
The ceremony officer came in with a tray. Gu Yu picked up a bow and arrow and started shooting according to the ceremony officer's lyrics.
"If you shoot into the sky, God will give you a good match."
"Two shots of earth, earth with double."
"Three shots to the sky and the earth will last forever."
Gu Yu's archery skills were well-known in Kyoto. At the Peony Banquet, he shot arrows on horseback with King Xiaoyao and became a blockbuster. I don't know how many noble ladies fell in love with him.
But in this great event of life, Gu Yu didn't know what to think, and in the end, the arrow shot from the top of the sedan almost hit the door of the sedan, and shot the bride right through.
Even though it was crooked, it didn't cause any serious disaster.
Xiao Xingzhi smoothed things over by saying, "The groom has seen the bride, and his hands are shaking with excitement."
As soon as he said this, the guests around him burst into laughter with good intentions.
Gu Yu curled his lips and put the bow and arrow back into the tray.
Then the bearers lowered the door of the sedan chair, and Gu Yu stepped forward and carried the sleepy Ji Miaoxian on his back.
Ji Miaoxian muttered on her back: "Your back is full of bones, which makes my internal organs hurt."
Gu Yu smiled slightly and said, "We're almost there."
Ji Miaoxian said: "Your food is so delicious, why don't you eat more to gain weight?"
Gu Yudao: "As long as you think it tastes good, come to my house and take care of it."
Ji Miaoxian chuckled lightly.
After crossing the threshold, Gu Yu put Ji Miaoxian down.
He led Ji Miaoxian across the brazier and walked into the main hall.
The bride's outfit in the Dayu Dynasty was not a red hijab covering her face, but a curtain of tassels hanging from the phoenix crown.
Everyone has heard about the stunning beauty of Miss Ji Jiabiao, and now they can finally get a glimpse of it through the looming tassel.
She is really beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy.
Standing together with Mr. Gu from Yushu Linfeng, he is truly a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
There are no men in the Gu family, so the old lady and Aunt Su sit on the left and right in the upper hall.
The ceremonial officer shouted:
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two bows to the high hall."
When it was time for the "husband and wife worship", a delicate voice came from outside:
"Wait a moment."
Everyone looked towards the door and saw Princess Songyang walking in aggressively from outside, holding a box in her hand.
Gu Yuze noticed Junze following him, his hand holding the red ribbon suddenly tightened, and his expression changed.
All the guests became nervous. Princess Songyang was obsessed with Young Master Gu. With such an angry expression on her face, she was afraid that the visitor was unkind.
The old lady winked at the ceremony officer, who hurriedly came up to greet her and said: "Princess, please sit down here and watch the ceremony."
Princess Songyang said: "Don't worry, this princess is not here to cause trouble, but to send gifts."
Everyone murmured in their hearts, who would send a congratulatory gift when the couple is paying homage to each other?
Songyang was used to being willful, and ignored the whispers of others, walked up to Gu Yu and Ji Miaoxian, and handed over the box in his hand.
The ceremony officer took it in time, and Songyang said: "Open it and let the newlyweds see the gift carefully prepared by the princess. Let's see if the couple likes it."
The courtesy officer opened the box, and there was a pair of shining scissors lying inside.
When the ceremony officer saw it, he almost threw the box out.
Songyang looked coldly at the ceremony officer and said, "Why didn't you tell me the name of the gift? Is it because you don't appreciate the gift from this princess?"
The ceremony officer looked at Gu Yu as if asking for help, and Gu Yu nodded.
The ceremony officer said in a low voice: "Princess Songyang congratulates you, a pair of precious scissors inlaid with gold and jade..."
All the guests were whispering to each other and talking about it.
Is there anyone who gives scissors as a wedding gift?
Scissors mean cutting in two, which is a taboo for newlyweds.
Even if it is inlaid with gold and jade, it won't work.
Princess Songyang is really fierce.
Why didn't her cousin Xiaoyao Wang stop him?
Princess Songyang is ignorant, and he is also ignorant.
Songyang raised his chin and said arrogantly: "How do you think of the gift from this princess? Does Young Master Gu like it?"
She hates Ji Miaoxian because she made fun of her when they first met.
Now I hate Gu Yu even more, because even though Gu Yu knew that her cousin had given everything for her, she still feared the world, tried to pretend that nothing had happened, and was hypocritical and cowardly.
She couldn't stop the wedding, but venting her anger on her cousin was okay.
Even her cousin acquiesced in her behavior.
All the guests wiped their sweat one after another. It was a sin to give scissors to the newlyweds and ask them if they liked it.
Gu Yu pursed her lips. She knew why Songyang made such a fuss. It would be great if Junze and Songyang could be allowed to vent their anger.
Unexpectedly, Ji Miaoxian, who was standing by, stepped forward, took out the scissors from the box, and under everyone's gaze, took out a lock of hair from the phoenix crown.
Then she took out a strand of Gu Yu's high ponytail and cut it off. She intertwined their hair and put it in the box.
Ji Miaoxian said, neither humble nor arrogant: "We are married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about our love. Princess Songyang gave us this precious scissors with profound intentions. My husband and I would like to express our gratitude here."
The guests secretly thought it was beautiful.
With only a few words and a few words, Mr. Gu, the principal wife, resolved this difficult situation. It was truly amazing.
Songyang's face was twisted with anger. This Ji Miaoxian was extremely hateful. He insulted her in public, but she didn't know what to say to get back the fight.
Songyang looked up at Junze and said aggrievedly: "Cousin."
Her cousin is a sharp talker and will surely disparage this Ji Miaoxian to shame.
Unfortunately, Songyang's expectations were destined to be dashed.
Junze laughed sarcastically. He looked at Gu Yu, who was dressed in wedding clothes. The crimson color made her eyebrows look like ink paintings and her face resembled a crown of jade.
It was completely different from her usual cold demeanor, and there was no trace of the tears streaming down her face that night.
On the way here, he heard so many good things about talented men and beautiful women that his ears hurt. Now that he saw her standing with Ji Miaoxian, it was really dazzling.
He looked at Gu Yu with cool eyes and said: "We are married as husband and wife, and our love is unquestionable. Young Master Gu, is this what you want?"
Gu Yu bent her back under Jun Ze's gaze, cupped her hands and said, "I would like to thank the prince for coming to congratulate me."
Junze handed out the small box in his hand and said, "This is a congratulatory gift from me."
Gu Yu caught the box and guessed what was inside. The joints of the hand holding the box turned white.
Junze said calmly: "Don't you want to see what it is?"
