"It's better to choose a day than to strike a day. Let's just pass through today!" I've already prepared Hua An's wedding gift and other things. Now, all we need to do is to find a wedding dress for Sister Yuan to wear. " Shang Jie was impatient and hurriedly said, "Tang Zhili and the others have entered the palace. If they immediately ask for the imperial edict, Sister Yuan would not have passed. This is bad."
When Tang Zhi Li and Zhou Kuangzheng walked out of the palace, the Grand Princess had already hastily sent someone to inform the Prince Consort that the person who would be coming to the palace to find out about the matter had yet to return. However, she also knew that the Emperor had been trying to strengthen the relationship between the North and the South for the past few years, so this marriage between the two countries was indeed a good idea. If Tang Zhi Li and Zhou Kuangzheng entered the palace, the Emperor would naturally make a decree after hearing that the person he was begging for was only a young lady from the He mansion. He also had to marry He Yuan before the decree was passed down. If he were to simply fix the marriage, it would be impossible for him to defy the decree. She thought about it and agreed to get married soon.
Jiang Hua An muttered to himself, "Tang Zhi Li is a prince of Beichang. He originally came to propose a marriage for the sake of repairing the two kingdoms." If he failed to get a betrothal and left in a fit of anger, then if he went to the palace to ask for an edict and Sister Yuan married into the general's mansion, then the relationship between the two countries might change in anger. He was also afraid that the Emperor would vent his anger on the Residence of He and the Residence of General, and that someone would seize the opportunity to tell him that the Residence of General and the Residence of He intended to destroy their relationship. He still had to rush to welcome Sister Yuan into the general's estate and have someone report back to the palace before the emperor officially passed down his decree, saying that Sister Yuan was already married. When the emperor heard that I welcomed Sister Yuan into his mansion, no matter what, this imperial edict will not be given out. " Then she paused. "Because Northern Cheng's favorite girl is a girl who can embroider by hand, Empress Zhou only got interested when she heard that she was going to choose one of the ten embroidery ladies to be the third prince's consort. It was because Sister Yuan had met with Tang Zhi Li before. As long as someone played it, the emperor would choose one of the dexterous embroidery ladies to marry, and with a softer attitude, he would persuade Tang Zhili and Zhou Quheng so that they would not return empty-handed. Furthermore, as long as Tang Zhi Li chooses an embroidery woman to be his imperial concubine, he would naturally regard the He Residence and the General's Estate as a personal grudge and would not escalate into a grudge between the two countries.
Who would have thought that Jiang Huashan would have such political awareness when he was good at marching and setting up a battle formation? This was truly a rare occurrence. The Grand Princess and the others had a slightly different impression of Jiang Hua An. People like Jiang Hua An naturally had their own ways of handling things. He Yuan Xi and him naturally had their own ways of doing things. For a time, the eunuch replied, "The matter of coming to the palace to persuade me will be left to me. The rest of you, quickly prepare for the wedding and other matters. From time to time, people would report back to me, and once I'm done, I'll persuade the Emperor to choose a different embroidery lady to marry with me. It had to be done flawlessly. Ben was going to give it to Sister Yuan as a gift, so he didn't have the time to worry about it now. "When I leave the palace, I'll go to the general's estate to drink some wedding wine." As she spoke, she told Old Madam He and the rest not to send her off. They only needed to attend to the wedding of He Yuan. She left the residence on her own accord and hurried towards the Imperial Palace.
When He Nian returned to the Residence of He, he found that not only had He Yuan promised someone, he was also planning to marry someone today. When He Nian returned to the Residence of He, he found that not only had He Yuan promised someone, he was also planning to marry someone today.
When Shang Jie heard this, she also agreed. She had already sent someone to bring the betrothal gift back. She also sent someone to bring Jiang Hua-An's wedding dress over to inform her family and friends. While the hall was in a state of chaos, He Yuan had already retreated back to his room. At this moment, he felt his heart pounding. He hadn't expected that he would be married so soon. He was really caught off guard.
"Sister Yuan, congratulations, congratulations. This is the hairpin that I have kept. I'll give it to you to add on your makeup." When He Min and the others heard that He Yuan was going to be married today, they all covered their mouths as they laughed and said how quick it was. Each of them brought their personal belongings to send off. At that moment, the room was packed with people.
Since He Min and He Yi had just promised someone today, everyone had to congratulate He Yuan. As they turned around to congratulate them, He Yuan's bewilderment was diluted by their heated conversation.
When I went to He Yuan's room, I saw the two sisters talking as they rushed the wedding dress. I couldn't help but laugh. It's better to make it smaller and put it on. "Because I saw the red color earlier this year and the good materials, I gave Sister Yuan a happy ending. I thought I would be able to use it in a few years, but who would have known that I would be able to."
He Min and He Yi took the wedding dress from the lady's hands and unfurled it. It was indeed good material, and the embroidery work was also good. Let's take it back to the other room and change it so that Sister Yuan can rest for a while. "
After sending off He Min and He Yi, the elder sister embraced He Yuan and sighed, "He is only eleven years old and is about to marry. How unexpected."
He Yuan hugged his elder sister's waist and buried his head in her stomach. He said in a muffled voice, "Mother, I can't bear to part with you!"
The elder sister stroked He Yuan's head, and then caressed her back for a moment, before saying half-heartedly, "How could we bear to part with you? Besides, you're still young, so there are a lot of things that Mom can't tell you in detail. Now, after Hua An agrees to meet you, he'll let you stay at He Manor for half the month. At that time, mother will tell you a few things that you should pay attention to as his wife. It was a good thing that Madame Jiang and the general's wife were straightforward and that the general's estate didn't mind those formalities. Since they also loved you, they wouldn't feel too sad. "Only, Hua An …" As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "Hua An is already ten years older than you. He is already an adult male. Although he will still hurt you, but …"
Since He Yuan was still young, he couldn't marry her again. She had just told Shang Jie that she would be married off and would have to wait until she reached the age of 15 before she could choose a better marriage. Shang Jie said this was natural, but after getting married for the past three nights, they definitely had to rest in the new room together. She wanted to say something to He Yuan. If she were to lie down with Jiang Hua An, she didn't need to be afraid to say anything. However, she found it difficult to say it at the moment. After a moment of consideration, he whispered a lot of things into He Yuan's ears, causing He Yuan to blush and reply softly, "I know!"
For a while, the woman brought water, and the lady personally sprinkled the herbs, letting He Yuan go in to soak in it. As he said these words of concern by the side of the bucket. Since He Yuan was still young, your elder sister had to restrain herself from saying some things. She thought about telling He Yuan in a few years, so she could only choose to tell her some important things. After soaking in the bath and putting on their clothes, He Yi and He Min changed into their wedding clothes and brought them in. Madam He also came in with a large box. After giving some instructions, she said, "There's a bridal gown and some jewelry. The only problem is that the crystal crown on her head looks a bit large. Let's give it a try first!" As he spoke, he opened the box and took out a crystal crown to put on He Yuan's head. Due to He Yuan's small head, half of his face was covered by the crown. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If you don't wear this, it will look unofficial, and if you wear it, it will look small and childish.
"Madam, Grandmother, the bridal sedan is here. The young general is wearing a wedding dress and is riding on his horse. "There are eight sedan bearers. They are the five young masters of the General's Estate, the young master Jie of the Shang Shu Manor, the young master Yang of the Residence of Marquis An Ping, and the young master Ci of our own Residence." The woman in charge panted as she entered the room and said, "I'm afraid even a princess can't invite so many young masters to carry the palanquin. That's quite the honor. The guests had also come, all of them celebrating with the sound of the wind. The crowded hall was too crowded to sit in. The old ladies and the general's wife are urging the bride to go out quickly and not miss the auspicious time. " As he spoke, he added, "The Grand Princess has sent someone outside to tell me that the palace is in a dispute over which embroidery lady should be married off. It's best to hurry and let the young general meet the bride to prevent any undue problems."
Hearing the message from the Grand Princess, Madam He did not care much and urged her elder sister, "Quickly, let Sister Yuan wear her wedding dress and shoes. Quickly get on the bridal sedan, don't delay any longer. "After the general's estate, we can still pick them up for about half the time every month. We'll talk about it later."
As Madam He spoke, Matriarch He sent someone to urge her, "Everything is ready. I hope that the bride can get out of here as soon as possible."
The elder sister didn't have much to worry about. She hastily helped He Yuan to change into his wedding clothes and put on some rouge. Dressed up happily, she covered her head with a veil before helping the bridal attendants who had just been invited to help her out.
Even until he got on the bridal sedan chair, He Yuan still felt as if he was in a dream. This morning, he had just disembarked from his ship to Northern Cheng State. When He Yuan heard the sounds of joy from outside, along with the sounds of firecrackers and various other voices, He Yuan squeezed his own hand. It hurt so much to pinch, but he still felt a little confused. Just as he was at a loss, he heard the man holding the sedan shouting, "In the end, you're not a proper sedan bearer. I say that you all be more stable, don't push our eldest sister-in-law too far. "
Ah, it was Brother Kuan's voice. He was also one of the sedan bearers today. When He Yuan heard that he was shouting for everyone else to walk in unison so that they wouldn't scowl at him, he couldn't help but laugh. He heard the congratulatory voice shouting, "Everyone follow Big Brother Kuan's steps and stride forward, you won't disturb my sister."
"Pfft!" He Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. These eight amateur sedan bearers normally only sat in sedans, how could they lift a sedan chair? It was hard for them now.
When the sedan arrived at the general's manor, Jiang Hua An dismounted from his horse and stepped on the sedan. He didn't let the wedding lady down, so he lifted her up and said to the eight amateur sedans, "Clear the road ahead!"
The news of the He Residence proposing marriage and quickly getting married had already spread out. The entrance to the manor was filled with people cheering and cheering for the wedding. Hearing Jiang Hua An's shout, Jiang Hua Kuan and the rest hurriedly made way for Jiang Hua An to carry He Yuan through the entrance.
"The wife of the general should be laughing now. The young general is finally willing to get married, and the wife is still the daughter of the He family."
"Cough, even so, the young general is already twenty-one, and this bride is only eleven. How is she going to get married? I still need to wait a few more years, I'm worried on behalf of the young general! "
"Pfft, in a hurry to go home and find your wife, it's useless here."
"Hahaha …"
Hearing the teasing voices of the crowd, He Yuan buried his face in Jiang Hua An's chest, not daring to move. Oh god, it was as if everyone in the capital had come to watch the show! Jiang Huashan lowered his head and said warmly, "Don't be afraid. We'll be entering the residence very soon!"
"En!" He Yuan still didn't dare to move. He felt Jiang Hua An stepping through the doorway, and he carried her across the brazier. In just a few moments, they had arrived at the hall.
