Chapter 67 Getting married
A wedding is an ancient ceremony that publicly declares the love between two people and legally binds them together, ensuring they will never be separated.
The wedding day has arrived.
The wedding dress that Xia Muning sent was adorned with gemstones and pearls, making it exceptionally beautiful. Zhong Tian's face was meticulously painted with rouge and powder, and when she appeared in the glass mirror, she couldn't even recognize herself.
Is that beautiful, tall person inside her?
Feeling somewhat dizzy, she was helped onto a horse and taken to the Xia residence.
Someone inside blocked the door, cheerfully asking her for red envelopes. Zhongtian took out the red envelopes from her pocket and handed them out one by one.
Poetry contest! Pitch-pot!
Although the Xia family has few male heirs, it has many servants, especially many who grew up with Xia Muning and have a close relationship with her. For today's lively occasion, the master has given an order that they may enjoy themselves as long as they do not go too far.
Zhongtian racked his brains, became a plagiarist, and sought outside help before he barely managed to get through the ordeal.
Someone suggested that since the newlyweds were very strong, if they could lift the cauldron in front of the door, they could enter the house to welcome their husbands.
The tripod in front of the gate weighs three hundred catties.
Shi Shu wanted to step forward to stop him, but Zhong Tian glanced at her, walked over, tied the cumbersome wedding dress around his waist, gritted his teeth, and with a burst of strength, the cauldron slowly rose from the ground and was gradually lifted above his head.
When it was placed on the ground, dust rose up and a huge crater appeared.
After a brief moment of surprise, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Xia Qingshi and her mother stood to the side, watching the commotion.
Although Xia Qingshi was somewhat listless, she still mustered her spirits on this joyous day and looked at her mother, saying, "Elder sister, your daughter-in-law is no ordinary person."
Xia's mother chuckled, clearly very satisfied: "Mu Ning has excellent taste!"
The liveliness in the front yard had clearly spread to the Chaolu Pavilion in the back yard, but unlike the liveliness in the front yard, it was extremely deserted.
This is the room where Ding Yucheng lives.
This time it was different from the past. The room was decorated with exquisite decorations everywhere, with famous paintings and antiques everywhere. Even the jade vase on the table was enough for an ordinary family to spend for half a year.
The second property is now under Ding Yucheng's control, and he is very good at business, so he has accumulated a lot of wealth.
Like a greedy dragon, he gathered all the treasures around himself, living a life guarding these jewels and not allowing anyone to covet them.
The room was quiet. Ding Yucheng was reading Buddhist scriptures when he heard the commotion outside and looked up.
Today is the day Zhongtian is to marry Xia Muning. He knew this a long time ago, but he could only stay in the backyard and couldn't go out.
Because the couple was newly married, and he had just lost his wife, he was afraid of offending the newlyweds.
Liang Yun said cautiously, "Master, the kitchen has sent over some new food. It's the same as the previous meal, and they've even made a few extra dishes."
"let it go."
Ding Yucheng didn't say much. He ate a little and then knelt on the prayer mat, chanting Buddhist scriptures. The bright lamplight illuminated Ding Yucheng's somewhat gloomy face.
After going through countless hardships, Zhongtian finally met Xia Muning.
Xia Muning, dressed in a red robe, with his handsome and refined face radiant in the flowing light, smiled openly at her in the lamplight.
Zhong Tian was stunned, and Xia Muning was clearly very satisfied with Zhong Tian's reaction.
She walked up to Zhongtian with a smile and waved, "Zhongniang, snap out of it!"
Zhong Tian smiled somewhat shyly: "Mu Ning, you are so beautiful!"
"I know I'm beautiful!" Xia Muning raised her head slightly: "But now I'm yours!"
"Let's go!" Xia Muning grasped Zhong Tian's hand, their fingers intertwined. "Everyone is waiting to watch the ceremony! Let's not keep them waiting."
The radiant and charming Xia Muning, having lost her listlessness and dishevelment, has once again become the most handsome young master in Yangcheng.
When Zhongtian brought Xia Muning out, everyone briefly stopped talking. Looking at the couple, the woman was beautiful and the man was handsome, a perfect match made in heaven.
The ceremony begins!
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Husband and wife bow to each other and enter the bridal chamber!"
The two people who had just stood up together met each other's eyes, and both of them blushed slightly.
According to custom, Xia Muning should go into the bridal chamber to wait, while Zhong Tian should accompany the guests for drinks and socializing in the front yard.
Xia Muning was a little worried and whispered to Shishu, "Keep an eye on Zhongniang and make sure she doesn't drink too much and miss the time to go to the bridal chamber."
Today is a joyous occasion, and Shi Shu spoke less cautiously, saying somewhat narrow-mindedly, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, young master, I understand."
Xia Muning blushed and glared at Shishu: "You brat!"
Shi Shu followed Zhong Tian closely, and if anyone dared to force Zhong Tian to drink, he would glare at them fiercely from behind. Before long, his eyes became a little sore.
He had no choice but to look into the distance and rest his eyes.
Just then, they saw Liang Yun running over in a panic not far away. His steps were hurried, his expression was flustered, and his voice trembled noticeably.
"The Asaru Pavilion is on fire!"
The fire broke out, and the crowd immediately surged into Chaolu Pavilion.
At this moment, Chaolu Pavilion was shrouded in smoke, and half of the house had already burned down. The servants had all come out, but Ding Yucheng was nowhere to be seen.
Liang Yun knelt on the ground, crying miserably: "Madam Zhong, please save my master! My master didn't escape!"
Ding Yucheng!
Zhongtian was shocked.
He immediately wet his clothes, covered himself up, and rushed into the fire.
Liang Yun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and watched Zhong Tian rush towards the fire in a great hurry.
He remembered asking his master, "Master, what if Lady Zhong doesn't come in to save you?"
Ding Yucheng shook his head: "Zhongtian is a good person. Even if she doesn't like me, she will still save me. She can't just stand by and watch me die!"
As Nakata rushed into the fire, he felt his whole body burning hot. The fire on his skin caused a fine layer of sweat to seep from his forehead.
She searched and searched in the fire and finally saw Ding Yucheng. She fainted and clutched Xia Fang's wooden plaque tightly in her arms.
Zhongtian immediately walked up to Ding Yucheng.
He pinched Ding Yucheng's philtrum to wake him up.
Ding Yucheng slowly woke up and saw Zhong Tian. His eyes lit up with surprise and joy: "Madam Zhong, you've come."
Zhongtian looked coldly at Ding Yucheng and helped him out without saying a word.
The fresh air outside made Ding Yucheng cough violently.
Nakata drank large gulps of water to relieve the dryness in his body, then turned and left.
Liang Yun glanced at Ding Yucheng and immediately said, "Madam Zhong, our master has been frightened. Please stay here and keep him company!"
Zhong Tian's piercing gaze was directed at Ding Yucheng. She coldly said, "Have you forgotten that today is my wedding night? Do you want me to leave him alone in the bridal chamber like Xia Fang did?"
