Chapter 379 Wei Wanshan’s wedding!
Both Wei Wanshan and Su Baoyuan had no hope for this marriage, but their wedding was held as scheduled.
The wedding of the Wei and Su families caused a sensation in the entire capital. The scene was no less than the prince's wedding. All the civil and military officials and dignitaries in the capital were alarmed and rushed to the Su and Wei families to congratulate, drink wedding wine and give gifts.
Crown Princess Shen Ruyi brought her children back to her parents' home for the wedding banquet. The children were very happy and especially liked the atmosphere of the banquet.
Soon the bride was brought back by the groom. Shen Ruyi felt that as a pregnant woman, she should not attend such occasions, so she sat in the backyard with her children waiting for the banquet.
Shen originally didn't want to go to the front and wanted to stay in the backyard to accompany her daughter and grandchildren. However, Wei Wanshan specifically looked for Shen in the morning and told her that he hoped that when they paid respects to their parents today, Shen could be with her father and accept the respects from him and his wife!
He said that when his eldest brother got married, he worshipped his own mother. This time, he wanted Shen to sit there, and he would bring his newly-married wife to the ancestral hall tomorrow morning to burn incense for his own mother!
Shen was moved, and temporarily changed into the skirt that Shen Ruyi arranged for her, and went to the front with a little nervousness!
The wedding process went smoothly. Shen was indeed a generous and decent mistress of the house. She and her husband sat there and accepted the two greetings from her son and daughter-in-law. She was so moved that she burst into tears.
Wei Zhendong was really happy. He knew that his sons all accepted their stepmother. This was what he wanted to see most. It wasn't that he didn't miss his original wife, but he felt that his young wife, Shen, had indeed sacrificed a lot for this family and her sons over the years.
When the second son Wanshan got married this time, Shen took out a lot of money and food. After two years of war, every family was not well off. If Shen didn't pay for the second son's marriage this time, the Duke's Mansion would really be stretched.
Although a lot of share money will be collected, but you still have to spend money first to prepare the banquet to welcome and see off guests, right?
Wei Zhendong felt that his young wife was generous. She and Shen Ruyi had never calculated the money with the family. When spending money on his original wife's sons, Shen never even frowned.
The wedding banquet at the Duke's Mansion was a buffet. It lasted from noon to dusk, and people were still coming and going in an endless stream!
When Shen Ruyi wanted to go home, her sister-in-law Fu Wanying and Lu Mei found her. They planned to go to the bridal chamber to give the bride a bowl of wedding noodles!
So, Fu Wanying, as the eldest sister-in-law, held a tray with a bowl of wedding noodles in it. Shen Ruyi and Lu Mei followed behind with smiles on their faces. The three of them were as close as little sisters. They came to the bridal chamber and saw Su Baoyuan sitting on the quilt and enjoying the blessing!
When she saw three people coming, she greeted them happily. Shen Ruyi did not come closer because she felt that she was pregnant. She had heard someone say that pregnant women should not sit on the bride's bed as it would affect the bride's offspring.
The bride Su Baoyuan was very happy. She chatted with Fu Wanying, Shen Ruyi and Lu Mei for a while, and ate a small bowl of noodles shyly. In that era, brides had to sit in a ceremony and could not move, so they had to sit there and could not eat.
In this era, if there are sisters-in-law or sisters-in-law who are on good terms with the bride, they will come and give some wedding gifts to the bride.
After the bride Su Baoyuan ate a bowl of noodles, her complexion looked much better, because she was also hungry. When she left home in the morning, she could only eat one noodle. This meant something, as it indicated a lifelong commitment!
But anyone who only eats one noodle a day will definitely feel hungry. Now that she had a bowl of noodles, she did feel a little better. Several girls of similar age gathered together and started chatting.
Fu Wanying smiled and said, "Baoyuan, come to me tomorrow if you have nothing to do. I will take you to get familiar with the Duke's Mansion, and then take you to play in Grandmother's yard. We have to go to Grandmother's house often. She likes lively places when she is old. She is very happy when we go there.
Lu Mei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I live across the street. If you feel bored, just ask someone to come find me. I don't have much to do at home except taking care of grandma!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Hahaha! From now on you will be a trio. I am your sister-in-law, and you all have to love me!"
Everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't stop laughing. Fu Wanying smiled and said, "By the way, our Crown Princess's sister-in-law is the eldest sister-in-law, and there is also a younger sister-in-law. The younger sister-in-law is too young, so we have to treat her like a child!
In our daily life, in addition to taking care of our grandmother, we also have to help our mother-in-law, the county lady, take care of a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
The county lady is busy with the farm and the shop, so we have to help take care of the younger brothers and sisters. Our fourth brother Wanqian is a sensible child. He is already in his teens, so we don’t have to worry about him. But the twin brothers and sisters are still young, so we have to help them when we have time!"
Lu Mei wanted to pull Shen Ruyi over to sit, but Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Three sisters-in-law, I won't sit anymore. I will go home with His Highness soon. If the children sleep here, they will make a scene when we go back."
When Su Baoyuan heard the word "Your Highness", her face changed. Shen Ruyi didn't see it. She turned to look at Su Baoyuan and said, "Second sister-in-law, our bride is the most beautiful today. You must be happy! My second brother is a very good person. I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon!"
Su Baoyuan smiled, but it was a bit forced. "Thank you, Princess!" Shen Ruyi was very sensitive and looked at Su Baoyuan's smile. She felt it was a bit strange and thought that the bride didn't like her very much!
In fact, Shen Ruyi also understood roughly in her heart. She nodded calmly: "You three can play, I will go back first, the children will probably look for me!"
Shen Ruyi turned around and walked out of the bridal chamber. Seeing Shen Ruyi leaving, Su Baoyuan's eyes became a little cold. She glanced at her and no longer looked at the direction Shen Ruyi was going. Fu Wanying and Lu Mei both saw that the bride didn't like the look of the Crown Princess.
The two women were not stupid. Seeing that the bride looked unhappy, they quickly said they would go out to help take care of their younger brothers and sisters.
When the two people came out of the bridal chamber, they saw the groom Wei Wanshan being helped back by a group of people. He must have drunk too much.
The groom Wei Wanshan reeked of alcohol. When he saw Shen Ruyi standing there talking to her, his tongue became a little stiff.
"Ruyi, why haven't you gone home yet? Hurry up and take the children home. They should be sleeping here soon..."
Shen Ruyi blocked her nose and said, "Why did these bad guys let you drink so much?
"Groom, you've been drinking so much, be careful that the bride will dislike you, hurry up... find someone to make some hangover soup, and give it to my second brother, what the hell! Look how proud you are of getting married!"
Shen Ruyi yelled angrily, and soon the people in the yard became busy. Fu Wanying and Lu Mei couldn't help laughing. Shen Ruyi left after finishing the arrangements. Fu Wanying and Lu Mei started to help and prepare the sobering soup!
Half an hour later, Wei Wanshan was sitting in the side room. His third brother and eldest brother gave him two bowls of sobering soup, and he finally felt better!
Wei Wanlin frowned and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much tonight? I told you not to drink, but you drank yourself to death!"
Wei Wanchong also had a look of deep sorrow on his face. "Brother, we asked so many people to stop you from drinking. Everyone was drinking so much that they were about to vomit, but you actually sat there drinking by yourself!"
Wei Wanshan smiled bitterly, "I drank so much, why am I not drunk?
Okay, you guys go do whatever you need to do, I'm going back to my bridal chamber!"
Wei Wanshan stumbled into the bridal chamber and saw Su Baoyuan sitting on the bed. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Your husband drank too much tonight!"
Su Baoyuan sat there and nodded, "Husband, we haven't drunk the wedding wine yet..."
A young couple stood together and drank the wedding wine. Su Baoyuan looked at Wei Wanshan, who was dressed handsomely today, and Wei Wanshan also looked at Su Baoyuan, who was beautiful and generous today. Finally, the two nodded in tacit understanding, and then they went to bed and lay down, and began to sleep...
