C45

The wedding was set to be held on the eighth day of the second month, so Xie Jingxi had to get up and make preparations before dawn. However, Gu Yun was worried that she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, so he set the auspicious hour so that she could sleep a little longer.

Xie Jingxi's hometown had never had a young lady's presence, so she was not used to being surrounded by a maid. Furthermore, Lady Xu did not put too much thought into it, so when it came to using others, she was really short on money.

Gu Yun had already sent his servant into the Xie Clan since last night, so he had taken care of all of the preparations. He only waited for Xie Jingxi to get up and put on makeup, he had specially invited a servant girl to specially dress up her face, and specifically instructed her to do what she liked. Xie Jingxi naturally did not like things that were too complicated, so the work she had to do was greatly reduced.

When the sky was about to brighten, Xie Jingxi got up and helped her wash her face and rinse her mouth before leaving her to do nothing. She only stayed by Xie Jingxi's side, while the servants in charge of preparing her makeup and hair waited at the side.

"This girl's skin is so good. It's so tender, you don't even need to put too much paste on her."

This caused Xie Jingxi's old face to turn completely red, "Actually, I've never really liked dressing up with clothes on my face. It's fine if you have fewer layers, or if you can't even breathe."

"This is really my first time seeing a lady like this." The maid laughed happily, "Normally, a lady would be happy to put on more layers for fear that her makeup would be too thin and not be able to suppress the value of her clothes. However, Eldest Young Master specifically told me to follow your wishes and to do my best to satisfy you."

Xie Jingxi nodded her head, but no matter how simple the bride's makeup was, it had to be thick, and under the whole set of makeup, even Xie Jingxi would not be able to recognize the person in the mirror.

"Lady, you're so beautiful!"

As a dedicated staff member, Ming Yu was only in charge of judging all sorts of things about Xie Jingxi, "Look at this, I don't know how this big sister could be so skillful, I couldn't tell that she had smeared it with powder, and her face, was both beautiful and unique."

Xie Jingxi giggled, "Then I'll have to trouble this lady to put on some makeup for Ming Yu, and let her dress up for a bit as well."

"Is this young lady for real?!" Ming Yu was so happy that she almost jumped up, "I, I'll be troubling this sister."

Ming Yu was also an idle person, so Xie Jingxi let her be happy before she went to her room to change her clothes. Xie Jingxi obtained a total of three sets of wedding sets. One set was naturally prepared by the Old Madem for her, one set was given to her by Gu Yun, and the other was given to her by Shen Huanzhi.

Xie Jingxi did not know what she was feeling in her heart, but Shen Huanzhi wanted to represent his family and make it special for her. But no matter what, she could not wear it, so she asked her people to put it away properly.

Gu Yun had figured out her preferences, and followed her habits to lighten the weight of his bridal veil as much as possible. But even so, his attire still carried a lot of weight.

It was still early in the morning, so after Xie Jingxi finished dressing up, she went to Old Madem's room. Xie Cen and Xie Jingyu were both there, and both Auntie Xue and Sixth Miss were present.

The one who was the most reluctant was the Old Madem, but the Old Madem did not cry, afraid that it would cause the entire family to cry, he only held Xie Jingxi's hand and said: "On a day of great happiness, let's not talk about any difference, we are not far from each other, you can just come back."

Xie Jingxi, on the other hand, did not manage to hold it in. As tears fell from her eyes, Xie Cen also sighed emotionally, "Girl, since your grandmother is not tearful, then bear with it. As for your mother, you better not blame her.

It was probably because after experiencing so many things, Xie Cen also felt somewhat guilty towards Xie Jingxi. After all, the matter of Lady Xu taking back her dowry had really given Xie Jingxi a lot of face.

In fact, Xie Jingxi did not really care about the dowry in Lady Xu. It was good that Lady Xu had broken the mother and daughter duo's last bit of friendship, so that they would not have to study together in the future. But even though Lady Xu took away the majority of the dowry, as long as she took more, Gu Yun gave her another two. In addition, Xie Cen decided to add a portion of Gu Yun's betrothal gift, so not only did Xie Jingxi's dowry not decrease, it was even more than enough.

Just as the family was discussing, a supervisor outside replied, "Old Madem, master, Prince Jin's Wife has added a few boxes of dowry for the young lady and sent people over, but did not bring anyone in, instead we just followed the young lady."

"The Prince Jin's Wife's dowry?" Xie Cen was extremely shocked, this was not only a matter of adding dowry, it was also giving face to the Xie Clan, so how could a few young misses have such treatment?

The few boxes of dowry that Prince Jin's Wife had were placed outside the gates of the mansion, they looked extremely dignified, and those who saw it couldn't help but be impressed, that the grand ceremony that the was in was really going to suppress the princess.

Speaking of princesses, Third Princess also sent congratulatory gifts to Marquis Anfeng Palace. King Jin and Prince Jin's Wife also personally came out, and when His Majesty heard that Marquis Anfeng Palace had married their first wife, he even sent a congratulatory gift over. After that, an endless stream of people came to deliver gifts, it was not wrong to follow His Majesty to deliver it, the huge family of the Marquis Anfeng Palace, was just short of getting broken from giving gifts.

No one could have imagined that what was initially a highly regarded marriage turned out to be a grand occasion in the capital. Even the commoners rushed to the streets to take a look at this grand wedding procession.

Gu Yun had arrived at the Xie Clan Residence just before the auspicious time, and Xie Yun had intentionally dressed up. Not only was he not sick, he sat on the horse with a very handsome and upright posture, which was extremely pleasing to the eyes. When Xie Jingxi carried Xie Jingxi out, everyone saw how the new bride dressed up, and couldn't help but praise her. This pair of sickly bumpkins standing together caused everyone to stare in shock. A perfect match couldn't even be described as good.

Xie Jingxi had been nervous since the moment she felt Gu Yun standing by her side, and her originally cold hands seemed to have a temperature. The instant she held her hand, her heart began to heat up. She had always thought that she wouldn't be nervous, but even at this point, she really couldn't control herself.

As if feeling her nervousness, Gu Yun shook her hand with all his might and scratched the naughty guy's palm before finally giving her the palanquin. If not for the palanquin, Xie Jingxi would have laughed out loud, thinking that Gu Yun was really too noisy, and would not have laughed out loud or even lost face.

If not for someone opening the path ahead of time, they would not have been able to reach the Marquis Anfeng Residence even if it was night time. Some people even followed the entire way to the Marquis Anfeng Residence just to take a look at this unprecedented joyous event.

The wedding procession took a detour around the established route, and finally landed outside the main entrance of Marquis Anfeng Palace for everyone to see. When the new wife alighted from the palanquin, she originally wanted to be carried by the bride, as this was something that had long been arranged. Gu Wan had long been waiting outside the door, preparing to bring Xie Jingxi in with the bride.

Gu Wan waited at the door for a long time before finally seeing her big brother riding on a big horse in front of her. She excitedly waved her hand, "Big brother, I'm here!"

How could Gu Yun not see through her, he pursed his lips into a smile, then dismounted outside the house, "You look so good today, can I not see you?"

"I'm just afraid that you'll only have someone in your eyes and can't even see me. Big Brother, just go in and wait. I'll personally put that person in your hands for you."

Gu Yun guaranteed his chest as he patted his chest. Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, his daughter-in-law asking others to pick him up did not seem to be his style, thus the Young Master Gu gave a mysterious smile and personally went to the door of the palanquin to instruct the Xi Niang. The Xi Niang was surprised, "Eldest Young Master, this is not according to the rules, how can you …"

"Gu Wan, give the wedding lady a red packet."

"This, this young master, how embarrassing, haha …"

Gu Wan followed behind Gu Yun and clucked his tongue, "Big brother, it's really hard to get a wife from you, be careful of your old waist."

When Xie Jingxi's palanquin finally stopped, she did not know that the person waiting outside of the palanquin was Gu Yun. As usual, she extended her hand out, but unexpectedly, the familiar feeling caused her hand to unconsciously shrink, and was pinched by that bone like hand. Xie Jingxi did not know what tricks Gu Yun was playing, and could only follow his movements.

Gu Wan opened the sedan chair's curtain for them, and then pulled them out, and directly carried them across. Xie Jingxi lost her balance, and had no choice but to hold tightly onto his neck, causing everyone who watched to turn pale in shock, as they had never seen someone walk in like this before.

carried her continuously through the brazier and doorsteps before putting her down. His Marquis Mansion had already been spread out and he led her all the way to their courtyard. When Xie Jingxi previously said that she wanted to make big bro and girls as flower boys, she didn't go back on her word.

The Gu Family's ancestral hall was not far from Gu Yun's courtyard. Gu Yun brought the new married woman to the ancestral hall first, which was actually different from the arrangement. Although Xie Jingxi could not see it, she could still feel the sudden change in the atmosphere surrounding them. A little girl quickly ran over to report to Marquis who was waiting in the courtyard. Marquis frowned but didn't say anything, only sighing deeply.

On the other hand, the wives standing next to Lady Zeng all had strange expressions on their faces. It was unknown who whispered that it was not in accordance with the rules, but since Madame Xing, who had left the room, hurriedly pulled her arm and gave her a look, the wives all shut their mouths unwillingly, the corners of their mouths still hanging in disdain.

From a emotional point of view, this was understandable, but in terms of etiquette, a lot of people did feel embarrassed, the first one being embarrassed was the Lady Zeng. Gu Yun's existence, did not stop reminding everyone that she was just the Marquis Mansion's successor. However, her relationship with her stepson wasn't as harmonious as it seemed on the surface. Just from seeing her act before they went to worship her, it was clear that she had lost face.

Gu Yun led Xie Jingxi to stop in front of a small tablet. He personally lit the incense and knelt down together with Xie Jingxi to kowtow three times.

"Mother, this is your wife. Today is our wedding day, I brought her to meet you."

So it was to pay respects to Gu Yun's mother first, when Xie Jingxi heard his, she also called out to her mother in a low voice. Gu Yun held her hand and shook it hard, at this moment, his heart was filled with satisfaction, it was the moment that his mother left him, and from the bottom of his heart, he was the happiest.
