Marriage procession

  Welcome bride

  The dragon boat of the emperor and those escorting boats gradually disappeared in the distance of the Luo River, the guards on the shore also began to disperse, and the people on the riverbank also returned to the city one after another.

  Zhen Ming was deeply immersed in the excitement of welcoming Zhang Shi, walking on the road, with a gentle breeze and birds singing happily.

  He went to a new house located in the south of the city, which was built overnight with rush work. The house was already completed, and this era lacked everything except space. The house was surrounded by a two-meter-high wall, and the courtyard inside was not small, where he could grow some vegetables and fruit trees. He also reserved a small piece of land to dig a small pond, raise some fish, and plant some ornamental aquatic plants like lotus flowers. In the summer, they would open the door of the balcony, sit together with Zhang on the outdoor balcony, appreciate the moonlight on the pond, watch the fish swim, and do things that they both loved to do, how comfortable it was.

  In the yard was planted a fig tree, under the fig tree was dug a well, and equipped with a manual water-lifting device, after which Zhang no longer had to laboriously fetch water.

  Although sparrow is small, five organs are all complete. In his mind, a beautiful picture of Zhang's two people loving each other and having many children has been constructed.

  On the third day, someone came to inform him that his new house was completed. Zhen Ming didn't even go for his morning exercise and instead went to various furniture stores in Luoyang, taking over a hundred photos of furniture with his mobile phone, printing them out, and having someone deliver them to Zhang's family home, letting her choose the furniture she liked.

  Madam Zhang only sent back a note with the words: "If you like me, I'll like you."

  Her fate was bitter, her body and mind were both intoxicated.

  The furniture was bought, the wedding room was arranged, and on a good day, the sedan chair bearers and the welcoming team who blew, beat, plucked and sang were invited to eat and drink at home. By dusk, the group set off towards Zhang's residence with blowing, beating, and excitement.

  ……

  When they arrived at the Zhang's family gate, Xing Er was already waiting in the courtyard, with the gate tightly closed.

  According to custom, if neither of them gives in and opens the door, they will not open the door.

  "Zhang sister won't marry!" Xing'er rarely had the opportunity to be difficult, and it wasn't easy for her to open the door and let him in.

  "Not enough red envelopes, the bride ran away!"

  "Here are two more, as a tribute to the Old Man of the Moon."

  "Give three more, and the bridal chamber will be quiet."

  "Four more, husband and wife have good feelings."

  "Give me five more, and I'll have grandchildren running all over the place."

  "Ten more, the bride and groom are perfect and beautiful, happy and contented, till old age!"

  Nor did she know where Xing'er learned these greedy phrases, until all the profits on her body were searched and taken away, only then was the gate of the courtyard reluctantly opened.

  Sun Langzhong leaned against the door and wrote, blocking Zhang's room door. Zhen Ming had to come forward and make a bow, giving Sun Langzhong a kowtow, performing the ritual of a son-in-law. He also took out a modern medical masterpiece that had been printed in advance and presented it to Sun Langzhong with great respect. Sun Langzhong flipped through it and smiled satisfactorily, letting him pass.

  The room was decorated with large red wedding decorations, and Zhang sat at the head of the bed, wearing a specially made noble bride's dress from Long Sun Clothing Store. She wore a phoenix coronet and a veil on her face, and her feet were clad in a pair of bright red embroidered shoes with auspicious patterns, tucked together demurely and quietly. Her two white hands, as delicate as jade, were clasped together on her knees, her head bowed low, waiting silently.

  Zhen Ming suppressed his excitement and walked to Zhang's side, kneeling down on one knee, holding her two delicate small hands.

  "Goose, goose, I've gone through five passes and beheaded six generals for you, experiencing hardships, but finally arrived by your side. Will you follow me? My dear husband will love and cherish you all his life."

  Zhang didn't make a sound, he just nodded slightly and imperceptibly.

  "Call out to Master and listen, Master will take you wherever you want to go."

  "Hubby." Zhang's gentle voice was as sweet as sugar and honey.

  The matchmaker's bitter efforts all melted away as she shouted: "The bride is getting into the sedan chair!"

  Zhang's back was lifted up, and he went out the door with her on his back. He put her in a sedan chair, personally lifting one end of it, and with firecrackers popping loudly, they set off towards their new home.

  Pedestrians on the road stopped one after another to watch, pointing and discussing.

  "Which one is the groom?"

  "Isn't that the sedan chair?"

  "Haha, this groom is really shameless. No matter how happy he is, it's not worth debasing himself like this. Whose daughter is he marrying? He looks like he's picked up a gold treasure."

  "Hum, it's not just picking up a golden ingot, but also picking up a heavenly fairy who fell from the sky. Have you heard of Tofu West's Zhang Shi? Now she is the boss of Zhang Shi Dim Sum House, whether it's her character or appearance, that's top-notch, let alone carrying a sedan chair for her, even if it means being ridden like a horse, there isn't a man who wouldn't be willing?"

  The person speaking looked surprised: "Is it her? I heard she's a widow, could it be that she's remarried?"

  "No way, although it's a second marriage, it's still like a beautiful flower inserted into cow dung. Look at the groom, how can he match up to such a delicate and lovely woman?"

  "It is often said that a fine horse is usually ridden by a fool, and a clever woman is often married to a clumsy husband. The ancients were indeed not deceiving me."

  ……

  The wedding procession blew and beat, earning enough eyeballs from passersby, and entered the new house in southern city that Zhenming had prepared for the couple.

  Zhenming bitterly held onto Zhang Shi and got off the sedan, carrying her into a room on the second floor, letting Xing'er and Huan'er accompany Zhang Shi, while he himself went downstairs to entertain the guests.

  The wine table is ready, guests enter the seats, cups and chopsticks are crossed, wine fragrance and hot dishes, Zhenming bitter one table after another toasting.

  Many poor families who had received kindness from Sun's clinic heard that Sun was marrying off his daughter and came to offer their congratulations, bringing chickens, ducks and geese with them.

  At the height of intoxication and excitement, a loud shout suddenly came from the entrance: "Zhen Ming is in trouble! Get out!"

  A horse's neigh sounded at the door, and immediately a figure rushed in from the doorway, kicking over one of the wine tables in the room.

  Wine, water, rice and dishes were spilled all over the house. For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent, staring at the troublemaker.

  The troublemaker was a teenager in his teens, with a face as white as jade, extremely handsome, but with a furious expression, holding a sharp sword.

  When he found Zhen Mingshu drunk, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and with a loud shout, he drew out a three-foot-long sharp sword, pointing it at Zhen Mingshu.

  "It's a bitter fate, I was so trusting of you, never thought you'd be saying one thing and doing another. I've only been away from Luoyang for two months, and you dare to secretly deceive me, bringing Zhang sister into our household without my knowledge! Luckily, Frost sister sent someone to inform me, or else I would still be in the dark! If you don't give me a clear explanation today, I'll take your life!"

  Zhen Ming bitterly pushed through the crowd, looking at Yang Zhuang's handsome face which was red with anger and had a murderous aura. He smiled and said: "It's Yang Zhuang, I knew why I couldn't find you all along. Don't worry, even if she marries me, she'll still be your Zhang sister, this won't change."

  "Spare me the nonsense! I'm not a child! You know perfectly well that I want to marry Zhang sister as my wife! But you took advantage of my being underage and unable to make decisions for myself, and made your move first. You're despicable! Draw your sword, I'll fight you to the death!"
