Chapter 290 The Bride Comes Out of the Dressing Room
As soon as the auspicious time for picking up the bride arrived, firecrackers and gongs and drums began to crackle and clang non-stop.
Song Jinbai turned over swiftly and mounted the horse with a red silk hanging around its neck. The two ministers and four personal guards also followed him and mounted the horses.
The wedding procession set off in a grand procession. Among the onlookers, someone had seen Song Jinbai before and immediately recognized the groom in the lead as the prefect. They led the group in shouting, "The prefect is getting married! What a joyful occasion!"
Song Shiqi was in charge of distributing wedding money. When he heard someone's blessings, he quickly grabbed a handful of copper coins from the basket and stuffed them into the hand of the person who took the lead in congratulating.
When the other people saw this, they thought it would be a bastard not to take advantage of such a good opportunity, and they also became excited and shouted blessings.
"I wish you and your wife a happy and lasting marriage!"
"I wish you a happy marriage!"
"I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage and a son soon!"
……
The previous congratulatory speech was well-organized, and Song Jinbai felt very comfortable listening to it. He asked the digital brothers to distribute wedding money and wedding cakes continuously.
If you say something nice, you can get money. The people who watch the fun become bolder and more excited as they speak, and their words become more and more evil.
"Haha, I wish you two babies a year! And eight chubby babies in three years!"
"Sir Song is the most handsome cow dung in Kaiyun Mansion, and Madam Song is the most beautiful flower in Dongchu. Flowers can only be nourished and flourish when planted in cow dung."
"Mother and daughter are inseparable, and husband and wife are inseparable. Lord Song and his wife are like the broken copper lock in my house, locked together forever!"
……
Regardless of what the crowd was feeling, Song Jinbai was delighted to hear it.
If he was overjoyed and delighted just now, now he was distracted and his mind was elsewhere.
How attractive his Nuan'er must look now. Is she as nervous and expectant as he is?
After today, she will become his wife. They will face each other every day, sleep together every night, and become the closest people in the world.
Song Jinbai's heart was burning with excitement, and he wanted to urge the horse to gallop so that he could see his bride earlier and bring his Nuan'er home earlier.
"The groom is here, the groom is at the door!"
Song Jinbai passed five levels and killed six generals. Finally, he passed the various tests of his uncle, cousin, and more than a dozen brothers-in-law and successfully arrived outside Ji Nuan's room.
Ji Wei saw through the crack in the door that Song Jinbai had led two guests to the door. She shouted excitedly, and then quickly asked Xue Qing to cover Ji Nuan with a red veil.
While Ji Wei was busy giving orders to Xue Qing and wasn't paying attention, Qiu Shi couldn't wait to push Ji Wei aside and squeeze to the door, occupying the best viewing position. He sighed, "This is my first time meeting Lord Song. Wow, he is so handsome, rare in the world. He is also rich and powerful, young and promising. He can be called the number one in Kaiyun Mansion. Only he can barely be worthy of Sister Nuannuan."
"You're so bold, you're even making up stories about Lord Song?" Wang Yunshan pushed Qiu Shizao aside and stared out the crack in the door with wide eyes. "Hehe, what Zao Zao said was right."
Chen Ronger tried to push Wang Yunshan away but failed, so she casually asked, "Which sentence is correct?"
Without even turning her head, Wang Yunshan replied, "Sir Song is incredibly handsome, and Sister Nuannuan is a perfect match for him!"
Song Jinbai, who was outside the door, had excellent hearing and heard the conversation clearly. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
He straightened his robe and accessories, as if the person in his heart could be seen through the door. He bowed deeply to the person inside the door, and his voice was filled with undisguised solemnity and deep affection: "Nuan'er, I'm here to take you home!"
"Groom, if you want to marry the bride, you have to get past us!" Wang Yunshan shouted from inside the door. She didn't care whether Song Jinbai was an official appointed by the court or not. She hadn't remembered her mother's words that she shouldn't make things too difficult for him.
When Pei Jingrang heard this, he immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly took out a red envelope from his sleeve, trying to use it to pave the way.
He deliberately used the red envelope containing the silver ingot to test the crack in the door, then said with a smile: "Look, sister, the red envelope is quite large, it can't be stuffed through this crack at all. Just raise your hand, I have plenty more red envelopes here!"
Chen Rong'er didn't know who to imitate, so she went to the door and shouted, "Who's giving out red envelopes right away? Trying to bribe us? No way! Get your makeup done first!"
"Right, right, right. First, take the urging gift, then write the urging poem!"
"Hurry up and put on your makeup! Hurry up and put on your makeup!"
The relatives and friends who followed all the way from the front hall also started to make a fuss, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
To show her respect and appreciation for the woman, Shen Songhe prepared a wide variety of gifts to urge her to get ready. Song Jinbai had already handed out several gifts by the time he reached Ji Nuan's room.
Shen Chu took an exquisite brocade box from Song Yang's hand very smoothly and handed it to Ji Shan.
Amid the jeers of Ji's family and friends, Song Jinbai loudly recited a poem urging her to get ready: "With a precious bun and a jade hairpin, I meet beneath the flowers, my lotus steps light and graceful. After my makeup is done, I dare not look back often, for fear of being seen by my lover, I hide my face in shame."
In the room, Qiu Shili jokingly asked Ji Nuan, "How is it, are you shy about getting married now?"
"Maybe in the wedding night."
Ji Nuan's voice came from under the veil, and the bride's shyness was not heard at all.
"Shameless!" Qiu Shili scolded and ran to the door to ask for a red envelope.
As more red envelopes were stuffed into the crack of the door, it opened wider and wider. Outside, Shen Chu sang loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, the bride is leaving the dressing room!"
Finally, the door was completely opened.
Song Jinbai suddenly felt nervous. He clenched his slightly trembling hands tightly and walked step by step to Ji Nuan.
"Nuan'er, I've finally waited for this day and am here to take you home!"
Song Jinbai leaned over and picked up Ji Nuan gently but forcefully, taking away the job that originally belonged to the three brothers of the Ji family.
The three brothers of the Ji family: ...Song Jinbai, that bastard!
Not only had this man successfully abducted their precious sister, he was even trying to snatch the opportunity to carry her on his back. Last night, the three of them had been arguing furiously over the chance to carry their sister, with no one willing to give in. Finally, to be fair, they decided to each carry her for a distance. But then, Song Jinbai, a sudden and unexpected Cheng Yaojin, got there first.
"Song Jinbai, remember what you promised us just now!" Ji Chuan solemnly reminded Song Jinbai again when he passed by Ji Nuan holding his arms.
Song Jinbai stopped and looked at Ji Chuan firmly, his tone full of the power of promise: "Don't worry, Third Brother, even without your reminder, I will protect her, love her, and respect her for the rest of my life. Nuan'er is more important to me than my life!"
Ji Nuan was deeply moved. When Song Jinbai carefully placed her in the bridal sedan, she leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Song Jinbai, you are just as important in my heart!"
