Chapter 176 Bridal Chamber Flowers and Candles
Inside the hall.

Yang Zhengshan was also wearing wedding clothes and kowtowed to the tablet of the founder of the Tianqing Sword Sect.

Logically speaking, one should kowtow to Yu Qingyi's parents and ancestors, but Yu Qingyi is an orphan and she doesn't even know who her parents are, so she changed it to kowtow to the spirit tablet of the founder of the Tianqing Sword Sect.

Yang Zhengshan was dressed particularly neatly today, with his black hair combed meticulously and his long beard also trimmed neatly.

From the outside, his youth is very deceptive. Looking at his face alone, he doesn't look like a man in his forties, but his long beard makes him look older.

The long beard makes him look old. Before coming here, Yang Zhengshan wanted to shave it off because he felt that standing next to Yu Qingyi, he would look like an old cow enticing young girls.

However, our hair and body are given by our parents, so shaving is impossible and we can only do simple trimming.

Next came the bride-welcoming ceremony. Yu Qingyi came out supported by her maid and said goodbye to the four elders of the Tianqing Sword Sect.

"Uncle Master!"

"Niece thanks the four uncles!"

Yu Qingyi was originally filled with joy, but when she came to the main room and saw Su Kun and the other three, her nose suddenly felt a little sour.

My parents gave me life, and the Tianqing Sword Sect raised me.

Yu Qingyi didn't know who her parents were, but she knew how much the Tianqing Sword Sect had raised, trained, and taught her over the years.

Looking at Su Kun with a head full of silver hair, and recalling the master who always called her "girl", Yu Qingyi couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Although she was covered by a red veil, Hua Jinqiu still noticed her crying voice.

"Silly girl."

Hua Jinqiu stepped forward to comfort her, but her eyes were also red.

After saying goodbye, Yang Zhengshan took Yu Qingyi's hand and walked out of the gate. He felt that this process was very magical.

Just getting married like this?

No, maybe the word should be marriage.

In his previous life, he had never thought about getting married, perhaps because he didn't want to shoulder too much responsibilities, or perhaps because he felt that being alone would give him more freedom. In any case, he had almost no urge to get married.

But now he is married, and it seems to be a good feeling.

Leading the bride out of the courtyard and helping her towards the sedan chair, Yang Zhengshan climbed onto the horse.

Many people on the street came to join in the fun, and music sounded. Yang Zhengshan patted Hongyun, and Hongyun followed the team in front. Yang Zhengshan bowed to the people around him to express his gratitude.

"Is this the garrison commander?"

"Congratulations, Lord Garrison!"

"Congratulations, Lord Garrison!"

"Whose family is the bride from? How could she be so blessed?"

……

The people on both sides of the street were very lively, some were congratulating, some were discussing, and some were envious of Yu Qingyi's good fortune.

Yang Zhengshan was a second wife, which might not be considered a good marriage in the eyes of many official families, but in the eyes of ordinary people it was definitely a wealth.

Being able to marry into the Yang family means being a stepmother, which is something ordinary people dare not even think about.

There were also many martial artists in the crowd who were looking at Yang Zhengshan.

The attitudes of martial artists towards officials are very complicated. Some hate them, some envy them, and some are indifferent and disdainful.

Ji Hai is the kind of person who is indifferent. In terms of status, martial artists are far inferior to officials. But this is not absolute. When a martial artist's cultivation reaches a sufficient level, such as the ninth level of the acquired realm, even officials have to treat him with respect.

Ji Zhen is a martial artist of the ninth level of the acquired realm. In front of him, the prefects and county magistrates can only call themselves juniors.

So Ji Hai is qualified to ignore most officials.

"It turns out to be a little old man. I thought Qingyi had found a good family!"

Ning Qingqing was the type who was disdainful. She seemed to be very disdainful of everyone, be it Yu Qingyi, Yang Qingshan, or anyone else.

Her voice was not loud, and Ji Hai just frowned when he heard it, but suddenly his mind tensed up, as if a ferocious beast was staring at him, making him alert reflexively.

The one who targeted them was none other than Yang Zhengshan.

Ning Qingqing's voice was not loud, especially in such a noisy environment, almost no one could hear it clearly.

But Yang Zhengshan was an exception. His hearing and vision were far superior to others, and Ning Qingqing's words were clearly heard by him.

Little old man!

Little old man!

Little old man!

Yang Zhengshan felt offended!
Damn, sir, I am a little old, but not to the point of being an old man.

I'm just over forty.

Have you ever heard that a man in his forties is still young?

Have you ever seen such a strong old man?
Have you ever seen such a handsome old man?
What the hell!
Yang Zhengshan was so angry!
In fact, he has already accepted his age. After all, he has no choice but to accept it. But today he still feels offended.

If today wasn't his wedding day, he would definitely teach that woman who spoke without thinking a lesson.

With eyes as cold as ice, Yang Zhengshan stared at Ning Qingqing for a long time. He did not look away until the wedding procession passed by.

Ning Qingqing was completely frozen. Even Ji Hai felt the danger, not to mention Ning Qingqing who was the first to be hit.

Although Yang Zhengshan said nothing and did nothing but cast two glances at her, she felt as if she had walked through a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

That feeling is really scary.

"This man, this man is so murderous!"

Yang Zhengshan's figure had disappeared on the street before Ning Qingqing spoke haltingly.

Ji Hai narrowed his eyes and said, "It's better not to provoke such a general who has just walked out of the battlefield! Qingqing, trouble comes from the mouth!" Ning Qingqing lowered her head and her face was pale. She didn't dare to say a word.

She really felt fear in her heart.

By this time, Yang Zhengshan's mood had recovered. Although he was very unhappy with the three words "old man", today was his wedding day after all, and he couldn't let such a wonderful time be ruined by an offensive word.

The wedding procession made a big circle in Anyuan City before arriving at the gate of Yang's house. Yang Zhengshan certainly could not get married through the main gate of the official hall, so he had to go through the gate in the backyard of the official hall.

"Master, slow down, don't step on the ground!"

Yu Qingyi only felt the sedan chair sink, and then he heard Qingxia's reminder.

Outside the sedan, Wu Hai hurriedly asked several servants to spread cotton bags on the ground. This ceremony is called "passing the mat", which means that the bride's feet cannot touch the ground before entering the bridal chamber.

The servants were fumbling cotton bags back and forth, while Yang Zhengshan, holding a big red flower, led Yu Qingyi into the mansion.

The two of them came to the main hall, where the Yang family's ancestral tablets had been placed. Yang Minghui stood aside as the master of ceremonies and shouted, "Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Happy husband and wife!"

Logically speaking, Yang Zhengxiang should be the master of ceremonies. Although he is not Yang Zhengshan's elder, he is older than Yang Zhengshan and is also the patriarch of the Yang family.

But Yang Zhengxiang didn't come, so Yang Minghui had to take his place.

"The ceremony is over!"

"Uncle, you can lift the veil now!"

Yang Minghui quickly took out a weighing rod and handed it to Yang Zhengshan.

Here, many men can only see the bride's appearance for the first time until this time, the so-called blind marriage, now is the time to open the blind box.

However, Yang Zhengshan had seen Yu Qingyi before, so he didn't feel like he was opening a blind box. He just had a sense of anticipation in his heart.

The veil was lifted, revealing a bright face. Yang Zhengshan was stunned for a moment.

But his silly look made Yu Qingyi lower her head in shame.

"It's what I want!"

Everyone around praised in unison, and then the music started again. The lively atmosphere almost blew the roof off.

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

"Ahhh, entering the bridal chamber!"

A noisy sound was heard, and Yang Zhengshan took Yu Qingyi into the bridal chamber.

A wedding is a wedding ceremony. It is already past dusk and red candles are flickering in the bridal chamber.

However, entering the bridal chamber does not mean the end of the wedding. The two were guided to offer millet, sorghum, and lungs in front of the table. Three sacrifices and three meals are called "eating from the same pot."

Next comes the "Heqin Ceremony", which is to split the gourd into two halves, and the husband and wife each hold one half and drink from it.

Finally, Yang Zhengshan untied the red rope on Yu Qingyi's head. The two old women took scissors and cut a strand of hair from each of them, tied them with red ropes and put them into the brocade bag.

From then on, the two were considered husband and wife.

Only now did the wedding come to an end. All the strangers left the bridal chamber, and Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi finally relaxed.

There were many ceremonies in a wedding, and after the day, Yang Zhengshan felt a little tired.

"Are you hungry?" Yang Zhengshan said to Yu Qingyi while looking at the food on the table.

"Hmm!" Yu Qingyi was still shy, her blushing face was very pretty.

"My great leader is actually shy!" Yang Zhengshan said teasingly.

Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes at Yang Zhengshan, but her rolling eyes seemed so charming that Yang Zhengshan was distracted and almost lost control.

"My dear husband, please have your meal!" Yu Qingyi served a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan reached out and pulled her to sit down. "I have never liked these messy rules. Husband and wife are one body. There is no need to treat each other with respect. Just be casual!"

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice to fill their stomachs, Yang Zhengshan poured wine for the two of them.

"A couple of drinks to cheer you up?"

"Add to the fun! What fun do you want to add to it!" Yu Qingyi obviously didn't understand what Yang Zhengshan meant.

Yang Zhengshan's lips curled up slightly, "You'll know soon!"

Yu Qingyi blinked her confused eyes and drank a few cups with Yang Zhengshan.

After a few drinks, Yang Zhengshan didn't know whether it helped or not. He just felt hot all over, as if he was on fire.

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

"Madam, are you willing to spend the night with me?"

Yang Zhengshan stood up and looked at Yu Qingyi with burning eyes.

Yu Qingyi's cheeks turned red and she hummed softly.

"Haha~~" Yang Zhengshan laughed and picked up Yu Qingyi.

"Slower!"

"oops!"

"Wait a minute, don't touch me!"

There were rustling and creaking sounds coming from the bridal chamber. The two little girls Hongyun and Qingxia outside the door blushed when they heard them.

The smoke from the jade stove rises as we drink. The bridal chamber is quiet. In the brocade tent, the whispers are thick, under the silver candle, everything is beautiful. That person, last night, was clear, and promised to grow old together.
