Chapter 159 Mu Yao and Helian Yun’s Wedding
In the following days, what Mu Yao said to Xiao Douxue really came true. She was extremely busy, so busy that she wished she could split herself into eight clones in an instant.
She first made a huge painting "Auspicious Crane Celebrating Birthday" as a birthday gift for Old Master Zhao of Fuguang Pavilion.
On Zhao Qingsong's 80th birthday, she brought Shen Chutang to the banquet, causing a sensation.
From then on, the news that Mrs. Xu Sanshao was Mr. Wu Liu, the "number one painter in Yunqi painting world", spread all over the continent, and this identity made all the men in the world, young and old, crazy about her.
In the days that followed, Mu Yao was busy preparing for her marriage with Helian Yun.
Finally, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Helian Mansion welcomed the long-awaited big day.
Three letters, six engagements, and a sedan chair carried by eight people.
The wedding procession, which was several hundred meters long, set out from Lanling County in an orderly manner and headed to Changdi Street to welcome the bride.
The official trees on both sides of the road were hung with red silk. The breeze blew, and the flames chased each other in the sky, illuminating the whole city with a myriad of rays of light.
The door of the Grand Tutor's mansion was opened early, and a red carpet was laid out, sprinkled with jade mist.
The surging crowd stood shoulder to shoulder on both sides, craning their necks to watch this grand event in the capital.
The restaurants and teahouses on the street were packed with guests, and the elegant rooms by the window were all occupied. Everyone was quietly waiting for the bride to leave the house.
Many people were curious about today's grand ceremony. After learning that her husband was Helian Yun, the eldest son of the Helian family in Lanling County, they all showed an expression of understanding.
In Dayun, usually only the husband's wedding would have such a grand ceremony, which made all the young men's eyes turn red.
Today, Mu Yao got up early before dawn to wash and dress. For this purpose, Li Changan went to the palace to borrow several female officials from Emperor Qingyuan.
Emperor Qingyuan took this opportunity to ask Li Taifu again about Mu Yao's thoughts on Wang Yanzhi, and Li Taifu's hesitant expression fully answered Emperor Qingyuan's question.
Mu Yao was wearing a phoenix crown and a shawl, and was carried into the big red sedan chair under the guidance of several aunts. Although it was not the first time that Li Changan had sent his daughter to marry, he was still filled with deep reluctance.
His daughter was very filial to him. She would bring back good things from time to time, and every time she returned to Beijing, she would bring her son-in-law to stay with her for a while.
After my daughter's wedding is over today, the next step is to arrange her marriage with Shen Chutang. This son-in-law Shen, like the son-in-law Wei, has a free status and can return to Shangjing to live permanently with his daughter as the center.
Thinking of this, Li Changan couldn't help but look forward to the wedding of Mu Yao and son-in-law Shen.
The wedding procession went further and further away.
Helian Yun, dressed in a red robe, led the way in front of the team. His beautiful face was as bright as a jade or a jade in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a god.
His face was filled with a calm and confident smile, and he exuded an innate nobility that made him stand out and shine in the crowd.
Today is undoubtedly the proudest and happiest day of his life.
He seemed unable to believe that he had really married the beautiful woman he had wished for. He turned back every few steps, gazing at the big red sedan chair behind him, hoping to see this moment more clearly and thoroughly, and have it imprinted in his heart forever.
The wedding banquet was extremely lively, and almost all the prominent figures in Lanling County were present.
The old head of Dan Pavilion and his wife were very surprised to receive an invitation from the old master of Helian. Xiao Jingxing's face was full of colorful expressions. After thinking it over again and again, he still took his wife to the banquet generously, while Xiao Douxue was unable to go with them on the grounds of recuperating from an injury.
Old Master Zhao and Zhao Huaian from Fuguang Pavilion were also invited.
When Zhao Huaian received the wedding invitation from Mu Yao, he danced with joy, and once again allowed Zhao Qingsong to witness the deep friendship between him and Mr. Wu Liu.
Zhao Qingsong gave her a string of pearls without hesitation. Dozens of moon beads of different sizes shone with a unique green light under the night light, purifying all the dark forces. This treasure is hard to come by, and its value is inestimable.
Zhao Huaian was not willing to be outdone. Although he was not as magnanimous as the eldest master, he did his best to buy a set of white jade tokens for Mu Yao.
The token is made of twelve pieces of fine white jade, each of which is engraved with a floral pattern representing a solar term.
Put them together to form a flower-shaped jade plate. You can also take them out separately and hang them around your waist as jade pendants, or string them together as waist ornaments.
In order to highlight the preciousness of their gift, Zhao Qingsong and Zhao Huaian went to Mu Yao's house the day before her wedding to present it in advance, which moved Mu Yao so much that her heart was swelled.
Mu Yao specially wore the set of pearl headwear given by Old Master Zhao today, and hung a white jade token given by Zhao Huaian around her waist to show her friendship for Fuguang Pavilion.
The auspicious ceremony was completed and the good marriage was concluded.
Mu Yao was welcomed into the bridal chamber by her aunts, and she sat quietly on the edge of the bed waiting for the groom to arrive.
Helian Yun was kept drinking at the wedding banquet.
He was the last one to get married among Helian Fu's grandchildren. The Helian family had many relatives, and the number of guests present today was countless. After nearly an hour, half of the tables had not been toasted.
Fortunately, Mu Yao had the foresight to give him a hangover pill.
It was not until three quarters past midnight that the guests let Helian Yun go.
When he returned to the bridal chamber, his beloved was already soundly sleeping, leaning against the bedpost.
He carefully laid the person flat on the bed, and after washing up, he couldn't wait to get into the wedding quilt.
The lovely girl was sleeping soundly, her bright eyes were closed, and her face was extremely beautiful.
The wedding candles burned long and the room was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood.
A night of love is worth a thousand gold. It would be a pity if you don’t do something on your wedding night.
After a lot of ideological struggle, Helian Yun finally abandoned his reason and embraced the tenderness of the girl.
Soon, red waves rolled up in the mandarin duck brocade. The vague voice jumped into the orange and red along with the candlelight, running wild.
