Chapter 175: Chapter 128: Winning the Beauty Home_3
Isn’t such an avowal a good thing? Why was Ruolei so enraged?
Realizing her verbal slip, Liu Ruolei quickly shut her mouth. But her heart was still full of exasperation. Such a fantastic poem, why could it not be for her?
Meanwhile, Qiao’er was excitedly stating, “The poem the new son-in-law wrote was truly wonderful. I’m almost moved to tears.”
At this point, Liu Ruolan had already copied the poem onto paper and read it twice carefully, her face becoming redder with each reading.
She let out a sigh of contempt, evaluating, “It is indeed somewhat frivolous.”
However, despite her words, her eyes were full of shy delight, her cheek flushed, throbbed slightly, and she murmured to herself, “Hand in hand shedding tears, hoping to share the same pillow till the end of time, how brazen!”
It was evident that Wang Shouzhe’s poem had indeed struck a chord in her heart.
Between a husband and wife, being a little frivolous isn’t a big deal.
The conversation was happening inside the room.
From outside a voice called, “Miss-wait, get ready, the new son-in-law is here.”
By then, Liu Ruolan was already dressed in her bright red wedding attire, and several aunts hurriedly placed a red veil over her head and instructed her to sit on the bed.
“The new son-in-law may now enter the bridal chamber.”
Following the directive, Wang Shouzhe stepped into the bridal chamber.
Several middle-aged women curiously looked Wang Shouzhe up and down, praising, “The new son-in-law is indeed handsome and extraordinary, a true gentleman.”
The bride, covered by the red veil, trembled slightly, resisting the urge to peek.
Wang Shouzhe was jubilant as he acknowledged the aunts and presented them red envelopes.
He gave a considerable red envelope, particularly to his fourth aunt, Wang Liuzi.
Four-Aunt Wang Liuzi was extremely delighted and hurriedly uttered, “Shouzhe, aren’t you going to present the ‘Treasure Bag of Ten Thousand Gold Coins’ now?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe quickly unfastened the ‘Treasure Bag’ from his belt, walked briskly to the bride and handed it to Liu Ruolan, softly saying, “Ruolan, the auspicious time has come. Come with me back to the Wang family.”
The ‘Treasure Bag’ contained small trinkets made of gold or jade carved into shapes like grains, fruits, fish, meat, and even a tiny abacus made of pure gold, entrusting his future finance to her.
Liu Ruolan, her head covered with the red veil and clutching the ‘Treasure Bag,’ was filled with shyness and anxiety as she nodded slightly and whispered, “Mm.”
Wang Shouzhe was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Yuanrui, aren’t you going to come in?”
At this point, Liu Yuanrui stepped into the bridal chamber, cheerfully greeting, “Congratulations, brother-in-law, you have finally won the beautiful lady.”
“Thankyou, Yuanrui, for going easy on me. To be able to marry Ruolan, it’s my privilege for three lifetimes.” Saying this, Wang Shouzhe presented a big red envelope, “Yuanrui, the hard work is on you now.”
According to custom, an unmarried younger brother-in-law should lift the bride onto the bridal sedan.
Liu Yuanrui accepted the large red envelope without hesitation, patting his chest and saying, “Alright, leave it to me. Despite my frailty, I have been working out recently.”
Having said this, he carried Liu Ruolan and headed out of the bridal chamber.
He hadn’t taken more than two steps before Liu Yuanrui murmured softly, “Eh, sister seems to have lost weight recently. I suppose it’s out of concern for me, Yuanrui. Last time I practiced carrying….”
He never finished his sentence, but abruptly shouted in pain, quickly apologizing, “Sister, I was wrong.”
Then, carrying his sister, he made a mad dash outside.
Wang Shouzhe let out a cold sweat. This youngster indeed liked to court death. He naturally pretended to hear nothing and dutifully followed.
Afterward, they bid farewell to his father and mother-in-law in the main hall.
It was then Yuanrui carried the bride out of the Liu family’s front door.
After a series of ceremonies, the bride got into the large bridal sedan.
While Wang Shouzhe rode his horse at the front of the procession.
“Lift the sedan.” After Gongsun Qiang’s command, the procession began to move slowly, leaving Shanyin amid cheers from the crowd, heading towards Ping’an City.
The returning procession was more than twice the size it was on the way.
The Liu clan members led the nuptial convoy which was massive. Carriages in the rear of the procession carried the dowry of the Liu family.
The scale of the dowry was indeed indicative of the immense wealth of the Liu family.
Wang Shouzhe, dressed in extravagant wedding robes, riding on Fire-treading White Cloud at the front of the procession, felt high-spirited.
Living for two lifetimes, this was the first time he was marrying a wife.
From today, he would begin his new life.
One of the four greatest joys in life, the wedding night, was slowly revealing itself before his eyes.
Indeed, and with the whimsical spring breeze, the spirit of life must be celebrated to the fullest.
Wedding night, I’m coming!
