Chapter 66: Three Bows to the Mortal World
"Marquis Fu'an, do you know what you are talking about..."
While Zhu Zhiying was still thinking about what to do next, Zhu Wusi's furious voice rang out first.
The angry Zhu Wusi directly called Zhu Chengwu by his title.
This made Zhu Zhiying sigh that he did not save the wrong person.
This Zhu Wusi is really a man who knows how to deal with things.
It's true!
But Zhu Zhiying was overthinking!
Zhu Wusi's anger this time was not because of him.
"Thirteenth brother, do you really have to interrupt my wedding ceremony?"
Zhu Chengwu stared at Zhu Wusi, and for the first time, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
The calmer Zhu Chengwu's words were, the angrier he felt in his heart.
Over and over again...
So what if Zhu Wusi was the world’s most infatuated man, one of the top two masters, and the ultimate boss in the hit TV series in his previous life?
Zhu Chengwu is also a reincarnated person.
In Zhu Chengwu’s previous life, those with the same birth setting as Zhu Chengwu were generally the “protagonists”!
What does Zhu Chengwu have to fear?
And this world is not the world in that hit TV series!
Zhu Chengwu even had a "Jade Book" with him.
Just a Zhu Wusi!
Then let’s see who is stronger and who has a tougher life.
"Marquis Fu'an, without the recognition of the Grand Clan, even if you complete the wedding ceremony, your wife won't even be included in the Zhu family tree!
What is the meaning of such a wedding?
Have you considered your new wife's feelings?"
Zhu Wusi's eyes were blazing with anger, and his eyes were also fixed on Zhu Chengwu.
At this moment, the people in Zhu Wushi's eyes seemed to no longer be Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun.
But, he and Su Xin.
Recognition of the Zhu clan!
Let Su Xin be recognized by the Zhu clan.
How to overcome this difficulty? Even though Zhu Wusi has not confessed to Su Xin, even though Su Xin has not agreed to be with him, Zhu Wusi is already thinking about it!
He really deserves to be the most infatuated man in the world in the hit TV series and film in Zhu Chengwu's previous life.
But Zhu Wushi didn't expect that this difficult situation, which he thought was difficult to overcome, could be overcome safely by Zhu Chengwu as long as he surrendered to Zuo Zong's man Zhu Zhiying, but Zhu Chengwu refused to give in, which made the conflict on the scene even more acute.
Isn't this a mockery of Zhu Wusi, who is trying hard to please the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan and give his beloved Su Xin a legitimate identity?
How could Zhu Wusi not be angry and furious!
After Zhu Wusi finished speaking angrily, he turned his gaze directly to Cui Shuyun who was beside Zhu Chengwu.
The other guests' eyes also followed Zhu Wusi's gaze and turned to look at Cui Shuyun.
Because Zhu Chengwu was granted the title of Xuzhou, many of the guests at the scene were natives of Xuzhou or from several prefectures adjacent to Xuzhou.
Living in a remote corner, they had no idea that the marriage of Zhu's children that was not recognized by the Da Zong Zheng Yuan would have such serious consequences.
In this world where clans are powerful, a bride who cannot enter her husband's family tree will be looked down upon by the world.
People in the world call such a bride a lonely ghost.
A daughter who is married off is like water spilled!
When a daughter gets married, her name will be crossed out from her mother's family tree.
Once you can no longer enter the family tree of your husband's family.
In the eyes of the people in this world, it is like a tree without roots, where the soul cannot find a place to return to after death.
If not a wandering ghost, what else could such a person be?
Cui Shuyun was enjoying the fun!
Unexpectedly, she herself became part of the excitement the next moment.
Even with a red veil covering it.
Cui Shuyun could also feel the various gazes directed at her from the people at the scene.
Hot!
curious!
And jokes!
They are waiting!
Waiting for Cui Shuyun's answer, waiting for Cui Shuyun's statement, waiting for Cui Shuyun's outburst...
After understanding the rules of the royal Zhu family.
Most of them felt that Marquis Fu'an's decision to not allow someone from the Da Zong Zheng Yuan to officiate the wedding was simply treading on the face of Cui and the bride.
And it was the kind of stepping on it over and over again.
Even though Marquis Fu'an had a high status, and even though Cui's legitimate daughter was marrying up, they felt that Cui's legitimate daughter would never be able to tolerate Marquis Fu'an's decision.
Because if they were put in the position of Cui's legitimate daughter, they would not be able to accept it.
Besides, the Cui family is a big family in Jiangnan after all!
It's not that I don't have a background or I don't have any shame!
"Master Hou..."
Chunhua, who was standing beside Zhu Chengwu, ready to support him if he couldn't hold on, looked at him worriedly.
Then he turned his gaze to Cui Shuyun, who was standing opposite Zhu Chengwu and was wearing a red veil.
This time, Chunhua's eyes when she looked at Cui Shuyun were less hostile and more complicated.
Although Chunhua has feelings for Zhu Chengwu, even if Chunhua were put in Cui Shuyun's position, she doesn't know whether she can accept Zhu Chengwu's "willfulness"!
Yes, in Chunhua’s opinion, Zhu Chengwu’s behavior this time was willful!
Because of a momentary impulse, he offended the people from the Da Zong Zheng Yuan, resulting in the new bride being unable to enter the Zhu family tree.
Chunhua thinks this is not worth it.
But the servant will not say that the master is wrong!
And there are so many guests here.
Chunhua just can't express her opinion.
Otherwise, Chunhua will definitely make suggestions!
“This is my decision. It’s no use looking at Cui…looking at the bride!
As long as I am here, I will have the final say in Fu'an Marquis Mansion!
And we have reached an agreement before... we have reached an agreement that the bride will not challenge my decision."
Zhu Chengwu looked at the many eyes in front of him that were looking at Cui Shuyun, and said this in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Zhu Chengwu spoke, trying to draw everyone's attention back to himself.
From their previous meeting, Zhu Chengwu admitted that this legitimate daughter of the Cui family was very intelligent.
However, Zhu Chengwu did not understand the character of this legitimate daughter of the Cui family.
Although in the previous communication, Cui's legitimate daughter put forward conditions, such as not restricting her freedom and not forcing her to have children in the bridal chamber... it seems that Cui's legitimate daughter is not completely willing to this marriage.
But demanding freedom does not mean that Cui's legitimate daughter will accept Zhu Chengwu's decision.
In this world, not being able to enter your husband's family tree is indeed a serious matter.
Zhu Chengwu was not sure whether Cui's eldest daughter would care.
If Cui's eldest daughter were to sabotage him, Zhu Chengwu would be able to handle it, but he would feel very uncomfortable.
So Zhu Chengwu didn't want to give Cui's eldest daughter a chance to speak.
At the same time, Zhu Chengwu's words "consensus" also meant to remind Cui's legitimate daughter that in the previous meeting, Zhu Chengwu had already agreed to Cui's legitimate daughter's conditions, so she shouldn't speak carelessly now.
It was time for her to remain silent.
Cui Shuyun understood what Zhu Chengwu meant.
But Zhu Chengwu underestimated the guests' curiosity about Cui Shuyun's reaction.
The guests' eyes never left the new bride, Cui Shuyun.
Cui Shuyun could feel countless curious, passionate and teasing gazes never leaving her body.
Cui Shuyun took a deep breath.
Slowly and firmly pulled open the red veil on her head.
The new bride of Marquis Fu'an revealed her true face in front of so many guests for the first time!
What an exquisite face it is.
Big round eyes, with twinkling thin eyebrows above them, and a cute little mouth like a cherry under the delicate nose bridge.
Even the bright red makeup cannot hide her innocence.
The pure face has a touch of charm because of the heavy makeup.
The beauty that can overwhelm a country and shame the moon and flowers, perhaps it is tailor-made for such women, no, girls!
"No wonder Marquis Fu'an insisted on marrying Cui's daughter!
There are rumors that Marquis Fu'an was attracted by beauty, but I didn't believe it! Now it seems..."
Some guests who were unaware of the inside story of "Fire Lotus" were shocked by Cui Shuyun's beauty and thought so in their hearts.
"Marquis Fu'an, what a blessing!"
There were also guests who cast looks of envy and jealousy at Zhu Chengwu, as if they wanted to replace him.
"What the Marquis meant is what Shuyun meant!
It is Shuyun's honor to have my grandfather preside over my wedding!"
The next moment, Cui Shuyun faced the gazes of many guests and said these words firmly.
Cui Shuyun's speech shocked the guests.
No one expected that such a beautiful Cui Shuyun would say such a thing.
And she said this after she took off her red veil.
From the way Cui Shuyun took off her red veil and from her sonorous and powerful voice, the guests present could hear Cui Shuyun's determination.
"Does she even know what she's talking about?
Does she know what it means to not be able to enter the Zhu family tree?
Or was she afraid of Marquis Fu'an's power and had to... ?
But the Cui family is also a big family, and now all the adults from the Grand Secretariat are here!
Or is it that this legitimate daughter of the Cui family is completely love-brained and is bewitched by the handsome appearance of Marquis Fu'an?
But she is also so beautiful...?"
Countless guests were thinking about the various possibilities behind Cui Shuyun's words.
“Hahahaha~~
it is good!
it is good!
She is indeed my Zhao Yugang's granddaughter-in-law!"
A few laughs interrupted the thoughts in the minds of the guests.
This was the second time Zhao Yugang met Cui Shuyun, but it was the first time Zhao Yugang recognized Cui Shuyun as his granddaughter-in-law. The previous time they met, Zhao Yugang seemed normal on the surface. But in fact, he had some opinions about Cui Shuyun and Cui family.
In Zhao Yuguang's idea, Zhu Chengwu should marry a legitimate daughter of the Zhao family to strengthen the relationship between the family and the Zhao family.
In this way, the Zhao family can maximize their interests by fully helping Zhu Chengwu to ascend to the throne.
For example, Zhao Qingya is very good!
Zhao Qingya is Zhao Yuguang's granddaughter.
She is the most outstanding woman in the Zhao family of Zhao Xinghan's generation.
She is the dream lover of countless Zhao family members.
She is one of the four noble ladies in the capital.
In this world, there is no rule in the Ming Dynasty that blood relatives within three generations of Zhu Chengwu's previous life cannot get married.
In this world, it is very normal for cousins to marry each other. Moreover, this kind of marriage is encouraged by the upper class of the Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, in the end, a Cui family name and a Cui Shuyun emerged.
This disrupted Zhao Yuguang's plan.
Cui's "Fire Lotus" is a resource that Zhu Chengwu must obtain, as it is related to Zhu Chengwu's path to becoming a master.
In the face of such temptation, Zhao Qingya's cousin relationship seems insignificant.
After receiving the secret letter from Zhu Chengwu through Zhao Xinghan, Queen Zhao secretly discussed with Zhao Yuguang. Since Zhao was unable to provide Zhu Chengwu with the same rare treasures from heaven and earth, the two finally decided to temporarily agree to Zhu Chengwu's suggestion and let him marry Cui's legitimate daughter.
After all, Zhu Chengwu made a promise to Queen Zhao in the letter that after obtaining Cui's "Fire Lotus", he was confident that he could become a master within five years.
For Zhao Yuguang and Queen Zhao, the temptation of Zhu Chengwu becoming a master is greater than the temptation of Zhu Chengwu's next generation containing more Zhao blood.
After all, Zhu Chengwu already has half Zhao blood!
Besides, she is just a legal wife. It is not impossible to replace her after Zhu Chengwu gets Cui's "Fire Lotus".
Cui Shuyun's current remarks completely supported Zhu Chengwu and the Zhao family. Moreover, not being included in the Zhu family genealogy also reduced many obstacles for Zhao Yuguang's plan to replace Zhu Chengwu's main wife in the future.
Zhao Yuguang was naturally very happy and didn't mind temporarily accepting Cui Shuyun as his cheap granddaughter-in-law.
Some people laugh at Cui Shuyun for being stupid!
Some people lamented Cui Shuyun's simplicity.
Some people admire Cui Shuyun's "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" and "Take Husband as God"!
Some people are as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The anxious people were Xiaowei and several members of the Cui family who came with the second elder of the Cui family to send off the bride and attend and witness Cui Shuyun's wedding banquet.
It’s a pity that the second elder of the Cui family was seriously injured in the previous attack and has been in a coma ever since, so he did not attend the wedding banquet.
This time, apart from the second elder, there were no other elders of importance from the Cui family attending the wedding. There was simply no elder from the Cui family important enough to stand up and stop Cui Shuyun's foolish act of "acting on her own initiative".
They can only worry in vain!
But no matter how the guests sneered, sighed, admired, or worried... they would never be able to imagine the real reason behind Cui Shuyun being so stupid and so obedient to Zhu Chengwu's opinions?
Cui Shuyun is so easy to talk to because she doesn't care.
Don't care about Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu.
Don't care about this wedding.
She doesn't care about the position of the wife of Marquis Fu'an.
He doesn't even care whether it is included in the Zhu family genealogy.
Because I don't care, I don't mind.
Because I don't care, I am gentle and obedient.
Because I don't care, I am very calm and composed.
……
However, Cui Shuyun's indifference was seen by others as a loving couple, a virtuous woman, and a husband and wife who followed each other's lead...
Just like Zhu Wusi!
"You! You guys!"
Zhu Wusi looked at Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun, who were wearing bright red wedding gowns and standing side by side in front of him. His back teeth were almost broken and he could hardly speak clearly!
He and his beloved Su Xin haven't even started dating yet!
As a result, Zhu Chengwu, whom he hated, performed such a loving scene in front of him.
What is this for?
Killing dogs?
Who can bear such an insult?
“Interesting!
I didn't expect that a madman like you would have such a loving companion!
The last fight ended in a draw!
Next time, let’s compare whose wife is better, gentler, and more virtuous! ”
Just when Zhu Wusi was about to bite his back teeth to pieces, a teasing voice sounded beside him, which immediately broke Zhu Wusi's defense.
Su Xin!
His pure heart!
He remembered that his Su Xin is now the fiancée of his "good brother" Gu Santong!
However, Gu Santong did not notice the change in Zhu Wusi's expression!
He just thought of something fun!
When it comes to martial arts, Gu Santong has surpassed him a lot!
This is Gu Santong’s first time with his wife!
It must be fun.
“Brother Santong is interested!
Zhu Chengwu will accompany you!"
Zhu Chengwu thought for a moment and agreed to Gu Santong's suggestion.
If the relationship between Gu Santong, Zhu Wushi and Su Xin in this world is the same as in the hit TV series in Zhu Chengwu's previous life.
The wife that Gu Santong mentioned should be Zhu Wusi’s white moonlight - Su Xin!
Zhu Wusi dared to act as Zhu Zhiying's pawn and cause trouble for Zhu Chengwu.
Zhu Chengwu naturally wanted to get it back from Zhu Wusi, and now was a good opportunity to collect some interest first.
Attacking the heart is good!
If Gu Santong and Su Xin were completely locked up, Zhu Chengwu believed that Zhu Wusi's expression would be very good.
But when it comes to Su Xin, we have to sigh at Zhu Wusi's infatuation.
If Zhu Chengwu remembered correctly, in that hit TV series, Su Xin's character setting was ordinary in appearance but unique in temperament. It was just this unique temperament that just struck Gu Santong and Zhu Wusi, and became their common white moonlight.
Judging from the fact that the naughty boy Gu Santong just now only dared to be gentle and virtuous, the Su Xin in this world is probably the same.
Otherwise, with Gu Santong's mischievous character, he would not have failed to mention appearance.
This must be the case that in the eyes of Gu Santong, the "lover", Su Xin's appearance cannot compare to Cui Shuyun.
Therefore, Gu Santong was only gentle and virtuous.
As for "good", it's too big!
There is no specific criterion for judgment and no basis for comparison.
It's just a decoration there.
The focus of the competition is still on being gentle and virtuous!
Su Xin has an ordinary appearance.
Zhu Wusi was born a prince and had been a frequent visitor to brothels since childhood. He lost his virginity at the age of 14.
A playboy and dandy like Zhu Wusi fell in love at first sight when he met Su Xin, and thus turned over a new leaf, came up with a variety of clever schemes, and schemed against hundreds of masters from famous sects and his "brother" Gu Santong, and ascended to the throne of the world's number one master and became one of the most powerful people in the world.
After becoming the best martial artist in the world and one of the most powerful men in the world, Zhu Wusi still remained true to his original aspiration and waited for Su Xin for twenty years. During these twenty years, he did not get close to women and did not get married or have children.
In the end, he even accepted the fact that Su Xin already had a son!
Such a person is definitely worthy of being called a lovesick person.
For such a person, making him watch his white moonlight being with someone else is definitely the cruelest revenge on him.
"Please ask grandpa to be the witness!"
After accepting Gu Santong's invitation to compete, Zhu Chengwu spoke again.
After dealing with Zhu Zhiying, Zhu Wusi, Gu Santong and other "uninvited guests", the wedding was finally able to continue.
It has been delayed for so long that the auspicious time is almost past.
Cui Shuyun stopped others from helping her and silently put the red veil back on her head.
As Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun were ready, Zhao Xinghan also took the seat of witness.
This time, the emcee was finally able to finish shouting out the words that had been interrupted several times.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
"It's done!"
……
Witnessed by Zhao Xinghan, with the blessings of many guests, and with the gloomy faces of Zhu Zhiying and Zhu Wusi, the wedding came to a successful conclusion.
Through the bright red headscarf, Cui Shuyun looked at the blurry figures of the guests around her, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Because the looks they gave Cui Shuyun were filled with many emotions that Cui Shuyun could only vaguely understand.
There is curiosity, pity, respect, admiration, and even possession...
They might feel that their gazes were very obscure, but Cui Shuyun, who had a strong and sensitive soul, could still feel the emotions in their eyes.
“Is this real society?
It’s really complicated and unpredictable!”
Cui Shuyun always heard her father and elder brother say that society is complicated.
But Cui Shuyun, who was waiting to be married, had never really felt it.
Today, Cui Shuyun has truly seen the tip of the iceberg of a complex society.
In Cui Shuyun’s opinion, the three bows at this wedding were more like three bows to complete the wedding ceremony.
It would be better to say that it was Cui Shuyun's third farewell to the big dye vat of society.
“Can I stick to my original intention?
Can I achieve my dream?
Can I get the freedom I want in Fu'an Marquis Mansion?"
Through the bright red headscarf, Cui Shuyun looked at the smiling guests at the wedding banquet, as if she saw the endless red world of mortals, and thought secretly in her heart.
