Chapter 88: Getting Married (5)

  (Jiang Wanru was helped into the big red sedan chair, listening to the men shouting "Rise". The sedan chair was lifted and swayed as it moved along, for a long time there were all sorts of voices talking outside. The sedan chair stopped, a man's hand reached in and handed her one end of a red silk cord. Jiang Wanru took hold of the cord and got out of the sedan chair with difficulty. She stepped over a tray filled with earth, then stepped over a tray filled with water, finally she forced herself to step over the high threshold. Under the guidance of the red cord, she barely heard the matchmaker's reminders, performing ritual after ritual.)

  When Jiang Wanru heard the sound of "Li Cheng", her stiff body relaxed slightly. At the reminder of the matchmaker, Jixiang came forward to support Jiang Wanru. A woman behind her laughed and said: "Send off the newlyweds to the bridal chamber." As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately shouted with a loud voice: "Wow, congratulations to Master Hua! You are now a family man!" Another person said: "You little scoundrel is envious. After the excitement is over, go tell your parents that you should get married early too."

  Jiang Wanruo felt as if she was walking along a long, long path. From time to time, people would stop on the side of the road and let her pass first. After walking for a while, Jiang Wanruo felt that no matter how far she walked, she couldn't reach the end of this path. A woman approached her and introduced herself, saying: "Young Mistress, Yu Yan and Yu Fang, attendants of the Young Master's wife, have come to welcome you." As soon as the woman retreated, a clear and crisp voice like jade beads rang out in front of her: "Yu Yan (Yu Fang), an attendant of the Young Master's wife, welcomes the Young Mistress back to the courtyard."

  Jiang Wan's soft voice trailed off as she said, "Thank you." Jiang Wan couldn't see from under the red veil, but the two pretty maids who had been listening to her response exchanged a stunned glance before stepping aside. Even the people from the Wang estate were staring at the person under the red veil in surprise. Ji Xian raised an eyebrow and saw the astonishment in everyone's eyes. She smiled and lowered her head. It seemed that their own young mistress was not the rumored foolish and wooden Mistress, but rather something that no one in the entire Wang estate could have anticipated.

  Jiang Wanru finally entered a courtyard, hearing a warm and gentle voice saying: "You all hurry to welcome the young mistress, she's home." At the same time, she heard everyone calling out: "Greetings, Young Master's wife." The woman lightly laughed and said: "Today you all must serve the young mistress well. If anything happens that doesn't meet her expectations, don't blame me for making a scene after the wedding festivities are over." A chorus of 'dare nots' arose. Jiang Wanru was led by a soft and boneless hand, lightly tugging as it said: "I'll escort you to your room."

  Jiang Wanmu followed her into the room. After crossing the living room, she led Jiang Wanmu to a bedroom and sat down on the bed. The woman let go of her hand, and Jiang Wanmu said softly, "Thank you." A warm voice replied, "If you have anything in the future, you can tell me." Jiang Wanmu listened to her from start to finish, without showing too much closeness. She just nodded twice and said, "Thank you." The woman smiled and said, "I have something to attend to outside, you rest for a while inside."

  Jiang Wanru heard many footsteps. She walked out. The room suddenly emptied, and Jixian came over to Jiang Wanru and said: "Miss, are you tired?" Jiang Wanru's hand slightly lifted the red veil, looking around at the empty room with only the makeup woman and the matchmaker, as well as Jixian by her side. The makeup woman hurried over, examining Jiang Wanru's makeup. She pulled out a box from her bag and said: "It's hot, your makeup is smudged. Miss, close your eyes quickly, I'll help you touch it up." Jiang Wanru listened to her words and closed her eyes, letting the woman apply more makeup to her face.

  The matchmaker said, "Miss, there will be more good things to come, don't be afraid, just accept them." Jiang Wanru already knew that the good things were the fruits and flowers that people would throw on the newlyweds' heads, the more they threw, the better their future life would be. After the makeup woman finished, she looked at Jiang Wanru several times, then bowed to her and said, "Miss, congratulations on finding a good husband. I'll take my leave." Jiang Wanru replied to the auspicious words with "Reward".

  She immediately pulled out a golden bean from her sleeve and handed it over, saying in a soft voice: "Miss is gentle and doesn't like to show off. Some things, please keep them secret, auntie." The woman with the makeup took the golden bean and carefully put it into her bosom, whispering: "Don't worry, miss, I've also seen the world, and I hope to establish a good relationship with you." Jiang Wanru looked at her and smiled lightly, saying: "I'm an unloved daughter in my family." The woman with the makeup smiled and nodded, saying: "I'll go get the reward silver that the Jiang family promised later."

  After the woman left, the matchmaker smiled and looked at Jiang Wanru, saying: "I've met Chen's wife several times, she's not a talkative person." Jiang Wanru nodded to Ji Yan with a smile, and Ji Yan also handed her a gold bean. The matchmaker pushed three and blocked four, saying: "I dare not, I have already received the reward, and cannot receive another reward." Jiang Wanru smiled and said: "Yang's wife, you take it. When I entered the palace of King Xian, I was completely in the dark, and didn't know what advice you could give me on this matter." Only after hearing these words did the matchmaker take the gold bean from Ji Yan's hand.

  The bride herself came out of the door, and Jiang Wan heard her say to someone outside: "Ladies, can you give me a cup of water?" There was a burst of giggles from outside, and someone said: "This woman is so interesting. Here, drink." The bride came in after a while, approached Jiang Wan's side, and whispered: "Miss, I can only say what I've heard. In the Lian King's mansion, you can't walk around randomly. The maids in the courtyard are obedient, and the legitimate wife is at ease. If they're not obedient, the legitimate wife must be on guard to be safe."

  Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes to look at the expression of the matchmaker, and at this time, she heard a series of greetings from the courtyard: "Good day, Fourth Master, Shang Master..." The matchmaker immediately pulled Jiang Wanmu's red veil down and quickly put it over her head. In a soft voice, she said: "This master is said to like showy people." A flurry of footsteps rushed into the room, and a pair of large feet wearing dark red shoes approached Jiang Wanmu. The matchmaker immediately said: "Young woman, congratulations on your new marriage."

  Jiang Wanru didn't have time to react, and suddenly something was poured on her head, one grain after another. As she held back her voice, a bright light flashed before her eyes, and a pair of flying, unruly eyes directly met hers. Jiang Wanru's first reaction was "what a lively gaze." The man saw a pair of clear yet bewildered eyes, as quiet as a calm sea. Various fruits continued to pour down on their heads, accompanied by the laughter of people around them. The two silently looked at each other for a moment before shifting their gazes away.

  The bride smiled and recited, "Long long joy and again long long joy." Until the fruit rain and flower rain stopped, everyone laughed and looked at the new bride. Jiang Wanru swept her eyes across the people in the room, seeing many men wearing brocade clothes. She lowered her head, just as her face was flushed with red makeup, hiding her shyness from being noticed by everyone. There were bold ones in the room who laughed and said, "The bride looks delicate, but she can't match the beauty of Brother Hao." As soon as this was said, a wave of laughter erupted in the room. Jiang Wanru pursed her lips and looked up at the man in red clothes.

  His bright red clothes set off his face, as white as jade, with distinct and handsome features. Such a handsome man, Jiang Wan thought to herself that her own ordinary appearance was no match for him, it's no wonder he would say such things, indeed it would be a waste for this man. She feared that in the world, there were few women with good looks who could match up to him, and even fewer who could bring out his bright and cheerful personality. Jiang Wan lowered her eyes, following the crowd's teasing laughter. A while later, someone outside announced: "Everyone, dinner is ready, please come."

  After the crowd of people left, a woman immediately came in with food and looked at Jiang Wanru sitting on the bed. She smiled and said: "Young Madam, the young master's wife has instructed me to bring some things for you to use." Jiang Wanru slowly got up and said: "Thank you." Ji Yan glanced at the table and saw that there were three dishes of meat and three dishes of vegetables, all served in exquisite bowls. She looked at Jiang Wanru with a smile and quietly slipped a red bean into the woman's hand, smiling and saying: "Thank you, Auntie, for bringing food to Miss. Auntie, my name is Ji Yan, I am by Miss' side, what should I call you?"

  The woman took it and quickly scanned the contents of her hand. Immediately, she smiled and said: "Good words, everyone in the mansion calls me Chen's family." Good words immediately called out: "Auntie Chen, I was young and ignorant, please take care of me more in the future." Jiang Wanru pulled the relationship with good words, and soon after the woman bid farewell, she said: "Good words, you go serve the young lady for dinner. Later, I will have someone send food to you." After she left, Jiang Wanru gave a thumbs up to Good Words and whispered: "Well done."

  After finishing her meal, two young maidservants came in. They greeted Jiang Wan and the slightly plump one smiled and said: "Young Mistress, I am Shu Xiang. I have been serving Young Master for five years, taking care of his clothes." Jiang Wan nodded at her. The other maid followed and said: "Young Mistress, I am Shu Yu. I have been serving Young Master for six years, taking care of miscellaneous tasks." Jiang Wan listened to this and carefully looked her up and down before speaking calmly: "Alright, you two will continue to do your work as usual."

  The two maids nodded obediently and quickly cleaned up the table. As they were about to leave, they said to Ji Yan: "Sister, we'll have to trouble you again in the future." Ji Yan looked at them in surprise as they left, then turned to Jiang Wanru and asked: "Miss, are these two here to scout out the place?" Jiang Wanru smiled lightly and walked closer to Ji Yan, whispering: "The maid who serves Master's clothes came in to clean up. The one who said she was doing miscellaneous tasks is probably Master's trusted person."

  Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanru with a face full of admiration and said, "Miss, you understand so many things." Jiang Wanru stretched out her hand to gently pat Ji Yan's head and said, "Have someone bring in some clean water for me, I want to wash my face. Remember, only when I am in the room, use only you." Ji Yan immediately nodded obediently and said, "I understand, when Master is in the room, I won't come to peek, nor will I go with others to fight for that credit."

  A tall tree is sure to be blown down by the wind. Jiang Wanru wouldn't go with them to grab that credit, nor did she want to innocently provoke a bunch of right and wrong. The night was deep, and Xi Niang came in again, bowed to Jiang Wanru and said: "Miss, the Wang Fu has arranged for the wedding woman. I bid farewell to the miss." As soon as Jiang Wanru heard Xi Niang's words, she immediately understood that even the Wang Fu wanted to make this marriage a reality. She sighed silently and stood up, saying to Xi Niang: "You've worked hard today." Xi Niang smiled and left.
