C11 (2/2)
Not long after, they arrived at the main hall. The man gently put her down. She finally felt her feet touching the ground, and she actually felt relieved for a moment.
After passing through the brazier, crossing the saddle, and having something stuffed into his hand, Yunqiu lowered his head to look at it. It was a bright red silk cloth, followed by the voice of a wedding lady, ”Congratulations to your nephew for marrying a bride. The phoenix and the bird have blessed your life, and your husband and wife have lived harmoniously for a hundred years.”
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out and Gao Yang's voice rang out: ”The auspicious hour has arrived, greetings to the hall.”
Along with the lively and joyous sounds of bowing, she was sent to the bridal chamber after a ”ceremony”. Her new husband only brought her in and then busied himself with the toasts. She was the only one left in the wedding room. Yu'er had gone somewhere, and it was quiet.
Faintly, Yun Qiu could still hear the bustling sounds of the wedding banquet from the front hall. Occasionally, there would be the shouts of the men.
And so he married.
When she thought of the wedding night she would be facing tonight, the rouge on her cheeks grew even thicker.
Before their marriage, Mama Qiao had specifically told her what would happen during the night. However, she was still an unmarried woman, so she didn't know what would happen next.
Nanny Wang probably knew this, so after Mrs Qiao gave the instructions, she dutifully explained it in detail, to the point where Yun Qiu's face was flushed red and she wished she could find a hole to hide in before she gave up.
Therefore, after Nanny Wang's explanation, she knew too much about what was going to happen on the wedding night that even she didn't dare to face her husband.
So a husband and wife could actually be this intimate. However, even though they were already husband and wife in name, they were still people who had never met before. She found it hard to accept that someone had never done such a thing before.
But even if it was hard to accept, what could he do?
Nanny Wang also said that if she really couldn't accept it, she might as well lie down on the bed with her eyes closed and grit her teeth, letting it go.
Yun Qiu recalled Granny Wang's calm expression as she said this, and could not help but feel joy in his heart, followed by disappointment. Regardless of the good or bad, she was still the Ye Family's daughter-in-law. There was no Nanny Wang who doted on her here, and there was no caring brother. But luckily, there was still Yu'er and Mrs Qiao.
Thinking of this, Yun Qiu remembered that she hadn't seen Yu'er since she entered the bridal room. Could it be that her husband had driven her away? If Yu'er was here, she would definitely have come over to ask about the situation. At the very least, she would have snuck over to stuff some food. After a long day, she was indeed a bit hungry now.
At this moment, Yu'er, whom Yun Qiu had been nagging at, was indeed driven away by the new young master. However, she wasn't driven out of her house, but rather, she had been forced to eat and rest.
Yu'er thought that with her Young Master's tall and mighty appearance, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. For a moment, she didn't dare to be complacent for the Young Miss's warmth and contentment. She was afraid that even being righteous would be useless. After she had eaten her fill, she paced back and forth anxiously in the room that Young Master had arranged for her. The longer she waited, the more anxious Yu'er became, and the faster her steps became before the wedding was over.
”Yu'er, you've been tired all day. Rinse and sleep early. You don't need to attend to the young miss today.” Mrs Qiao sat cross-legged beside the short one. Being disturbed by Yu Er's figure that came and went, she could not calm down and thought about things, so she couldn't help but ask.
Hearing her voice, Yu'er quickly strode to the side of Mrs Qiao who was deep in thought with her eyes closed, ”Mrs Qiao, don't you find it strange?”
