At dawn, the gate of the Song Mansion was packed with people. These were the people who were woken up by the sound of gongs and drums to welcome the bride to watch the excitement.
In all the years since Zhaoling was founded, I have never seen a young man in such a hurry that he would go out to meet his bride before dawn. Those who didn¡¯t know better thought he was afraid that the bride would run away.
The groom, Gu Yanting, was wearing a bright red wedding dress and was riding on a tall sweaty horse. His skin color was dark, and the wedding dress made him even darker, but he was sitting on the horse and his eyes were bright. He looked down at the onlookers, looking very majestic and not unattractive at all.
He did not come alone. Following him were two handsome figures, one blue and one white. The blue one was He Nanzhou, the Marquis of Yue'an, and the white one was Wei Heng, the prince of Zhenguo. These two figures were in Han Dynasty. There were some handsome young masters in Kyoto, but Gu Yanting was not inferior at all when he stood with them. On the contrary, these two men seemed to be guarding him with both civil and military skills.
??Following the next step were the people sent by the Yue'an Hou Mansion to welcome the bride. The queue to welcome the bride was very long, not because there were many people, but because there were so many betrothal gifts, which contained fifteen large boxes made of mahogany.
The lid of the box is open. Those who are a little more knowledgeable among the people watching know that these betrothal gifts are extremely valuable, at least tens of thousands of taels, which is no less grand than marrying a princess.
When the group arrived at the door of the Song Mansion, Gu Yanting, He Nanzhou and Wei Heng all got off their horses. A young boy who followed them came up and knocked on the door. The door creaked open a crack, and the young boy immediately shouted loudly: : "The young ones have brought the betrothal gift and come with the young master to greet the young lady!"
Everyone craned their necks to go in and watch the fun, but they heard the concierge say loudly: "Master has an order, and the door cannot be opened before the auspicious time."
The boy immediately took out a reward money wrapped in red cloth and gave it to the porter, and said: "The young master has been pleased with the young lady for a long time and cannot wait a moment longer. Please be accommodating and let us in first."
The concierge walked out of the door and said, "You can go in early, but you have to answer the questions correctly first."
The boy did not dare to answer this casually. He looked at Gu Yanting. Gu Yanting came forward with He Nanzhou and Wei Heng and said in a deep voice: "Okay."
Someone in the door quickly sent out test questions. The test questions were in many categories and covered a wide range of contents. Fortunately, Wei Heng was there, so they didn't spend much time answering all the questions.
The concierge kept his promise and welcomed them in respectfully.
After entering the gate, there was a group of guards blocking the road. They were wearing the protective uniforms of the Duke's Mansion and holding long sticks in their hands. Each of them had the aura of one man being the one to guard against ten thousand others. He Nanzhou just thought. After teasing Wei Heng a few words, he saw the guards of Yue'an Hou Mansion walking out with spears.
¡°Well, he should have thought that his mother would do such a thing.
This level involving force was not suitable for Wei Heng to participate in. Wei Heng naturally walked aside to watch the battle while He Nanzhou and Gu Yanting fought together.
The group of people soon arrived at Ningkang Garden. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Wei Yuan and Qing E sitting on a bench, each carrying a stick on his shoulder, like a living bandit leader.
Song Qiuse was standing next to her in a Xiangfei-colored dress. Although her behavior was much more elegant than the two of them, she was obviously not easy to mess with.
Weiyuan spoke first: "If you want to marry a beautiful woman, you have to follow our rules here. Throw away the weapons in your hands first. After a while, we have to do whatever we say, and we are not allowed to use force. Do you understand?"
He Nanzhou bumped Wei Heng with his elbow and said jokingly: "Your sister won't let us pass, so you don't care?"
Wei Heng said in a warm voice: "She is the future crown princess, I can't control her."
He Nanzhou looked at Gu Yanting again. Gu Yanting was more direct and said in a loud voice: "I don't have weapons, I will listen to you."
He Nanzhou: ""
If you have no future, you will have to wait to be tightly controlled from now on.
Weiyuan was very satisfied with Gu Yanting's attitude. He pointed at Gu Yanting with a wooden stick and said: "You retreat to the door first and meet our one request, and we will let you take one step forward." (Remember the website address: www. hlnovel.com
