23 Seeing you again after another lifetime (1/2)

”Get up the palanquin!” When the nanny saw the new bride get on the bridal sedan, she shouted again.

Grand Preceptor An stood inside the gates of the Residence of Tranquil East Tribe and watched as Ah Jin sedan chair gradually disappeared into the distance.

Within the inner chamber of the Residence of Peace, the Aunt Xiu knelt in front of a wooden statue of Guan Yin as she recited a scripture, praying for the Buddha to be merciful and to protect her daughter for the rest of her life.

To the other masters in the Residence of Yu An, An Jin's marriage didn't seem to have anything to do with them. Today, it was no different from before.

In the crowd, the Shizong turned to leave in the opposite direction from the bridal sedan chair. He thought back to that smile he had seen just now from An Jinxiu and lamented the fact that it was rare to find a beauty he had taken a fancy to, but he had never imagined that she would be someone's wife.

Eunuch Xie brought along the guards in disguise to stay by the side of the Emperor. They didn't dare to make a sound and just pretended that they didn't know anything. Today, they were just accompanying the Emperor out of the palace to relax.

Shangguan Yong brought the bridal sedan chair over to the palace gates. Grand Preceptor An ordered a pair of newlyweds to kneel before the gates to kowtow in gratitude.

A eunuch came out of the palace gate and passed on the benevolence of the world.

Shangguan Yong and An Jin naturally kowtowed to show their gratitude before they took the gold and silver brocade that the Master of the World and Empress Xiang had bestowed upon them and left for the Shangguan Mansion.

When he saw his own home from afar, Shangguan Yong let out a breath of relief. When he arrived at the door, he saw his sister and brothers from the military standing outside, looking at him with a smile, and his face heated up.

”Boss Shangguan, don't just stand there!” There was a military official who accompanied Shangguan Yong to the Residence of An to escort the bride. He followed up with Shangguan Yong and laughed loudly, ”Why aren't you picking up sister-in-law up and entering the door?”

Amidst the laughter, Shangguan Yong's face flushed.

An Jin was sitting in the sedan chair, holding a phoenix flower that grew in the courtyard in front of her house. As the wind blew, the flower fell in front of her. When she married in her previous life, the autumn laurel was fragrant. In this life, she married the same man with different moods and seasons. The autumn laurel was still full of green leaves, but the phoenix flower was still blooming like fire.

A large hand stretched out from the palanquin and extended all the way to her face, waiting there without moving.

This life was different from her previous one. An Jinxiu told herself to forget the memories of her previous life and spend this life with this man who held her hand and helped her out of the palanquin. She thought the previous life was just a nightmare she need to forget.

Shangguan Yong used the bright red silk cloth to carefully lead the An Jin to cross the threshold of Shangguan's front door, stepping on the ground of his own house. Only then did Shangguan Yong feel at ease.

”We want to see the bride!” Seeing the bride enter the house, the martial artists who couldn't wait any longer started to stir up a ruckus.

An Jinxiu heard Shangguan Yong, who was walking in front of her, say: ”You're all not allowed to cause trouble!”

”Big Bro, this is Big Sis coming in, so you don't need us brothers?” Someone shouted right after Shangguan Yong's words.

They were all loafers in the military camp, and one of them immediately joined in to cause a ruckus. Fortunately, these people still remembered that An Jin was a young lady from the Grand Preceptor's estate, so they didn't dare to say anything vulgar like they usually did.

Shangguan Yong's forehead was covered in sweat, for the first time he realized that having more brothers in the army was not a good thing.

Just as the crowd was having a good time and Shangguan Yong was about to lose his cool, An Jin pulled on the red silk cloth in his hand.

His bride had red hat and wore bright red wedding dress. Only then did Shangguan Yong realize that it was summer, and his bride was standing right next to him in the yard. Wouldn't it be too hot if he stayed here for too long? Thinking up to here, Shangguan Yong's face fell, he looked around at all the fellows around him who were eager to stir up trouble, ”You all have a day of marriage, remember today's events for me.”

Everyone was stunned, other than Shangguan Yong who had been ferocious and emotionless during the war on horseback, he was usually an honest man. It was harder than ascending to heaven to hear his words, was he showing off his power in front of the bride today?

The nanny was an experienced person. While the group of martial artists were still in a daze, she shouted, ”General is bringing the bride to the wedding hall!”

The wedding hall's layout could not be seen by the veiled An Jinxiu. She was only supported by the nanny, bowing to Shangguan Yong amidst the crowd of joyous cries.

”Send them to the bridal room!” After the couple bowed to each other, the host, the joyous Duke, said loudly.

Shangguan Yong protected her tightly, preventing the crowd from meeting his bride. This man's consideration was something that the previous life's An Jinxiu had never experienced. However, at this time, An Jinxiu was fully aware of it. She smiled and was escorted by Shangguan Yong to a new room in the backyard.

The new room was a set of wedding etiquette again. This time, An Jinxiu seriously responded to the wedding ladies' questions.

… ….

Shangguan Yong grinned, but just as he was about to say something, he heard his brothers outside the bridal room fighting again. Some wanted to have a drink with the bridegroom, while others were anxious to have a bridal ceremony before they even had a drink.

An Jin lowered her head and sat on the edge of the bed. Shangguan Yong had a lot of brothers in the army. In her previous life, she had looked down on these lower ranking military officials, but Bai Chengze had taken them seriously. In the end, the result proved that Bai Chengze, the man who became the emperor, had a sharp eye, and was a loyal person who slaughtered dogs ever since the ancient times.
