Chapter 29
In the fifteenth year of Chenghe, on the thirteenth day of the eighth month, the sky is clear and the osmanthus is fragrant. It is suitable for marriage. Almost at dusk, the clouds on the horizon were all dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun, and a group of special guests came to the small courtyard where Ji Xuanbing was.
Jiang Chaosheng had moved to a more spacious new home three days ago, while Ji Xuanbing married in this small yard where he had lived for several months. The people guarding the courtyard outside were all the personal soldiers who obeyed Jiang Chaosheng.
Although he is the only one left in the yard, Ji Xuanbing is not alone. He spends several days in the deep sea. Every day when he thinks about Jiang Chao’s birth, he will ask the turtle to send the love letter he wrote to him. Grace, consoling lovesickness.
In fact, Ji Xuanbing didn’t want to be separated, but he had to abide by human customs, and fiancées were not allowed to meet three days before they got married. August 13th was the auspicious day for them. They went to the yard early in the morning, bathed, changed clothes, put on makeup, and waited for Jiang Chaosheng to come and marry.
Accompanied by the melodious music, the cover of the passage was opened, and more than 20 adult mermaids passed through the underground pipes, holding jewels and gorgeous mermaid wedding dresses to participate in this grand wedding.
The high priest was standing in Ji Xuanbing’s room. She was not using a shark tail at this time, but her straight and slender legs. Adult sharks can maintain their human appearance for a short period of time without touching the sea. Ji Xuanbing, the elder of the high priest, is far more proficient in human skills than the latter.
A house that is spacious enough for ordinary people is a very small space for the mermen living on the seabed. The high priest held a crystal-clear fishbone comb in his hand, and asked again with a serious expression: “Xuan Bing, do you recognize him? I swear in front of the sea **** that I will become a partner with him from now on, and never give up. Never betray.”
When there is no partner identified, the mermaid can have a hot period with anyone, but with a partner of his own, he will never allow betrayal. Betrayers will be punished by the sea god, their souls will be expelled from the ruins, and there will be no afterlife after death.
Ji Xuanbing looked at the face reflected in the mirror, and her tone was extremely firm: “I only need one of him, even if the sky falls today, I have to finish this kiss.”
The matter has reached a critical moment. If Jiang Chaosheng suddenly escapes from marriage like the heartless man mentioned in the book, then he will catch people back to the ends of the earth. But no one would dare to disappoint the merman. The last guy who did this has already been chopped up into eight pieces and became food for sea fish.
“Does he know that once the mermen are married, they will only be widowed, not divorced?” Although the mermen are infatuated, they still give people the opportunity to choose in advance when dealing with foreigners.
Ji Xuanbing nodded: “I said it before, Chaosheng said he would not change his mind.”
For a person like Jiang Chaosheng, once he is with people, even if the love is not as strong as it was at the beginning, and the love turns into family affection, he will continue to stay with people. Originally, this was not an era in which one could easily get divorced. A pair of sweethearts who adore each other, if there is no empathy and separation, it is basically impossible for them to become resentful couples.
Humans always make promises so easily, and the high priest does not doubt the truth of the other party’s love at this time. If the other party changes his mind, the amorous human beings will pay a painful enough price. Her indifferent and cold face was a little gentle, showing a shallow smile, acting as the hairbrush lady of the little merman: “One comb to comb the hair, and the love is so white…”
She combed it smoothly three times in a row, and then handed the comb to Ji Xuanbing: “We won’t eat the banquet of the human race. Everyone has a celebration banquet for you in the sea palace. If he wants, he can bring him with him.”
The high priest gave the only water-repellent bead. Ordinary human beings wear this bead and can dive into the deep sea without fear of sea water. However, human beings are different from mermaids after all. They need sunlight and rain, and it is impossible to stay in darkness all day long Deep sea life without daylight.
Ji Xuanbing got up from the chair. He didn’t wear a two-piece prosthetic leg today, and there was still a glittering fishtail under his skirt: “I’ll send you off.”
Mingming had been anxious from time to time before, but when the day of marriage came, Ji Xuanbing’s heart was inexplicably settled. He was not dreaming, he was really about to marry Engong.
After waiting for a long time, the third aunt and the sixth wife shouted outside the door with a shrill voice: “The auspicious time is here, the groom is here to pick up the bride.”
Usually, when the groom comes to welcome his relatives, he has to accept the embarrassment of the wife’s relatives and friends, but Jiang Chaosheng is all guarding Ji Xuanbing, and this irrelevant atmosphere group link has been skipped.
Jiang Chaosheng knocked on the courtyard door from outside: “Xuan Bing, I’m here.”
It was Jiang Chaosheng’s voice. He came to pick him up on time! Ji Xuanbing held up the hem of her skirt, her beautiful fish tails turned into legs, and happily opened the door and greeted her. After a few days of training, his walking has long been less awkward than the first time, and when Huanxi rushed past, no matter how sharp his eyes were, he could not see the abnormality.
Weddings in this era are not popular with red hijab, and there is no such thing as carrying a large sedan chair. The carriage is used to greet the bride. The wedding is also held in the evening. After all, the wedding is a fainting ceremony. Ceremony for young people.
Jiang Chao gave birth to the carriage, used his knees as a stool, and supported the little merman into the wedding car. The car was open, with a gorgeous roof and a shelf. The surrounding shelter was only some tulle and bead curtains. As soon as it is blown, the face of the person in the car is revealed, and it can hardly cover it.
There were four horses pulling the cart, two white horses and two red horses, with big red flowers tied around their necks. The rope of the carriage was held in the hands of the coachman, and the coachman was slowly leading it away. The soldiers who cleared the way were in front, and the long queue followed. The trumpets and suonas happily played festive tunes, and boys and girls in pink and red jackets sprinkled flowers and sugar along the way.
Almost all the onlookers on both sides of the road had a share of it. There were children riding on their own father’s neck to watch the fun, with round eyes.
When the team of the city lord left, the human feelings gradually dispersed, and the little boy was put down by the father, because it was really uncomfortable to be crowded around, and just as he was about to cry, a candy was stuck in his mouth.
This candy is milk ball candy. It exudes a rich milky fragrance without peeling off the outside candy wrapper. After peeling off the rice candy wrapper, the inside is a white and mellow one, which softens after a while.
After eating the candy, the little boy reluctantly held his fingers for a while, until the smell of candy on it disappeared, and greedily asked his father for it: “Dad, the candy is so sweet, I still want it!”
“How can there be so many, this is only the result of the city owner’s marriage.”
The child said in a milky voice, “It would be great if the city lord married every day.” As soon as these words came out, the people around who had not yet dispersed looked over.
Before I finished speaking, the feeling of being a father felt cold on my back, so I quickly covered the child’s mouth. Anyway, the excitement was over, so I quickly took the ignorant child away. Everyone has been waiting for the princess and the city lord to get married for a long time. If the city lord changes brides every day, the princess will be angry. “What nonsense, people get married once in a lifetime, you will grow up quickly, and you will have the ability in the future. If you want to eat sugar, you can eat enough!”
The newlyweds on the carriage have long gone, and the crowd is too noisy, and no matter how smart they are, it is impossible to hear the words of so many people at the same time.
Ji Xuanbing didn’t listen at all, and he didn’t bother to listen. All his attention was on Jiang Chaosheng, and he stared at the exceptionally handsome husband without blinking. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t see enough.
“Chaosheng, we really got married, right?”
Jiang Chaosheng gave a gentle and patient answer: “Yes.”
The team moved very slowly, and it took at least an hour to walk a few kilometers. However, in the evening, the breeze was cool and the wind was very comfortable on people. It didn’t matter if the time was slow.
“Chaosheng, you look so good in red.” Ji Xuanbing announced that from today onwards, his favorite color is bright red, beaming red.
“You look good too.” Jiang Chaosheng asked him, “Are you hungry?”
The little shark always eats a lot on weekdays, but today he is wearing very slim clothes, and his belly looks flat, it really doesn’t look like he has eaten. Ji Xuanbing shook his head slightly, the very gorgeous phoenix hairpin on his head was not messed up: “No, I didn’t eat anything.”
Jiang Chaosheng knew this was going to happen. He immediately took out a purse from his sleeve. Compared with the purse he usually wears, the stitches of this purse were really bad. It will feel that these are two little ducks, this is the first purse Ji Xuanbing woven for him.
“Chaosheng, why did you bring this purse with you?” Ji Xuanbing looked at the extremely delicate embroidery on her wedding dress, and then looked at the two water ducks, whose shape was barely discernible, her cheeks couldn’t help but turn red. hot.
With heavy makeup and a grand ceremony, he put on a thick layer of powder today. Originally, he looked too white, but because his face was red, there was powder in the white, and it looked like a ripe peach.
Jiang Chaosheng was quite calm: “This purse is festive, and it is just right for today. No matter how beautiful it is, it was not embroidered by Xuan Bing himself.”
Although Ji Xuanbing is also a merman, he is not good at spinning merch. He used to be good at fighting. After making the ugly purse for the first time, because many small holes were poked in his hand by needles, Jiang Chaosheng diverted his attention. Say nothing to let him do this kind of needlework.
Ji Xuanbing originally thought that the purse had been thrown away long ago, but he did not expect it to be well preserved by Jiang Chaosheng, and he was still carrying it on such an important day.
Jiang Chaosheng pulled open the beige ribbon of the purse and poured out a round candy. This batch of candy was made by him according to the taste in his memory. For this marriage, he specially asked the cooks to work overtime to make a lot of candies. .
Although Ji Xuanbing didn’t draw his face as exaggerated as a monkey, he also put a thin layer of mouth grease on his red lips, so he couldn’t eat casually after putting on makeup. With the cover of his sleeve, Jiang Chaosheng smuggled a piece of candy into Ji Xuanbing’s mouth, and the merman’s left cheek bulged slightly.
“One more.” This time, the little merman’s cheeks were puffed up on both sides, looking like a little squirrel hiding pine nuts. When he got off the carriage, Ji Xuanbing’s cheeks were flattened, and with these two belly-pads, he wouldn’t be so hungry.
The wedding was as good as today’s weather, and the first half of the journey went smoothly. When we arrived at the new house, it was to worship the heavens and the earth. There were a full 188 tables for the banquet, from the door to the door.
“First worship the heaven and earth, second worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other…” The person who sang the lyrics pushed the immortal-looking young couple and said loudly, “Send it to the bridal chamber!”
According to custom, Ji Xuanbing went into the bedroom to rest first, and Jiang Chaosheng also toasted. There were many guests coming to the banquet, and there were naturally many guests toasting, but a bunch of tall men on the groom’s side reached out and drank the toasted wine for Jiang Chaosheng.
Lou Zhan took a sip: “Today is a good day for the lord, and no one can do anything wrong.”
Even if there is no one to drink for him, in fact, no one dares to get Jiang Chaosheng drunk. After all, this is a good day for others, unless they are really here to make revenge, they will dare to make trouble at the wedding.
What’s more, the beautiful girl’s eyes are like silk and tangled, and the “princess” who has just been pushed forward has eyes like a knife. Qing Lingling’s eyes clearly read: Whoever dares to **** my husband, don’t think about it. live.
After only a circle of respect, Jiang Chaosheng hurried into the quiet inner house. He took a deep breath and opened the door of the wedding room. He just closed the door behind his back, and a fragrant wind came over. The little merman jumped into his arms, and his two long thin and white legs were wrapped around him. .
