Chapter 269 Wedding (1)
The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month
The entire Kyoto was immersed in a sea of red.
It’s not that the wedding of Yao Jia and Gu Xiyan was so grand that the whole Kyoto was covered in red and colorful decorations, but this day was a rare festive day, and many people chose to hold their wedding today to get a good start.
Yao Jia was surrounded by several husbands and was being dressed up like a rag doll.
Nangong Xiu Lan was responsible for tying her hair, Shuang Hua was responsible for putting on makeup, Bai Hua Hua and Huai Chuan were responsible for changing clothes, and Lang Yue was responsible for putting on shoes.
Before applying lip balm, drink the refreshing tea that Mingjue brought over.
After everything was dressed, Xuanying brought an extremely gorgeous phoenix crown, and Lin Congmo helped Yaojia put it on.
"This phoenix crown was worn by your mother when she welcomed me into the family. You are wearing it to get married today. If your mother is still alive, she can also see this wedding."
Yao Jia suddenly felt that the phoenix crown on her head weighed a thousand pounds.
He felt that his marriage with Gu Xiyan was just a formality, and that it would be a bit blasphemous for me to wear his mother's phoenix crown. But there was no other alternative at the moment, so he could only pray in his heart that his mother would not mind.
Looking at herself in the mirror, the person in the mirror had red lips, white teeth, a face as rosy as a peach, and the tassels of the phoenix corona in her hair swayed gently, but there was no joy at all between her brows.
He took a deep breath and curled up the corners of his lips into a faint smile that was enough to fool everyone.
Nangong Xiulan looked at her with a gentle light in her eyes, "My wife looks so beautiful in her wedding dress..."
Yao Jia turned around and met his gaze, with surprise flashing in her eyes.
The man was wearing a simple red gown with a layer of white gauze on the outside, which made his originally banished immortal temperament look more charming.
She instantly smiled like a flower, "Lanlan looks particularly beautiful in red today."
Thinking carefully, Nangong Xiu Lan seemed to have never worn red. I didn't expect her to look so stunning today. It was a special feeling.
Nangong Xiulan reached out and gently held her hand, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "My lady, after today, you will never again..."
A burst of firecrackers rang out, instantly drowning out his words.
Yao Jia wanted to ask in detail, but the matchmaker started to urge her.
"Master, the auspicious time has arrived, it's time to go pick up the groom!"
The wedding procession sounded cheerful gongs and drums outside the palace.
Yao Jia walked out of the room surrounded by people.
Nangong Xiu Lan and several husbands stood aside and watched her board the float.
Shuanghua turned her head to look at him, "It's best not to let Yaoyao know about the fate. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it."
Nangong Xiulan lowered his eyes, "I understand..."
The wedding procession marched through the streets of Kyoto and arrived in front of the villa where Gu Xiyan lived.
Many common people surrounded the villa in three layers inside and outside, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the beautiful face of the star general when she got married.
Some of them even volunteered to act as 'gate blockers'.
Fortunately, most of the people in today's wedding procession were disciples of Tianxing Pavilion, and they cooperated well with the matchmakers. Auspicious words and blessings poured out like beans, which stunned everyone in front of the door.
Yao Jia scattered a handful of silver melon seeds mixed with wedding candies, and everyone was busy scrambling to grab them. There was no one guarding the door, so everyone took the opportunity to rush forward.
Before he could touch the door, he was blocked by an extremely strong internal force.
Yao Jia was nearly blown away, but fortunately Huaichuan protected her from behind and she was able to stabilize herself.
"Master, are you okay?" Huaichuan asked with concern.
Yao Jia patted his hands to indicate that she was fine.
Three men with a strong gangster vibe walked slowly towards the door.
Seeing this, Grandma Xi immediately stood in front of Yao Jia and said, "My fellow heroes, please don't do this. Today is an auspicious day, and it is not appropriate to use force."
One of the men with a beard laughed and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are the ones who are really blocking the door. Those people just now don't count, hahahaha..."
A man with a whip on his waist agreed, "That's right. Since Pavilion Master Nangong wants to marry our beloved disciple, he must follow our rules and fight a few moves under the hands of our masters."
The matchmaker was speechless. She had seen weddings where people competed in eloquence, but this was the first time she heard of a martial arts contest. She looked at Yao Jia with some embarrassment.
Yao Jia signaled her to be patient, and said to Gu Xiyan's masters with a smile, "How would you like to fight?"
Finally, the man holding the folding fan shook the fan in his hand and smiled gently, "Fight three moves with each of us three people. If you don't lose, you pass."
He closed the fan with a snap. "Is that possible?"
Huaichuan stepped forward, "Master, let me go..."
Yao Jia knew he was worried about her, so she shook her head, "They specifically asked me to go, not you."
He said to those people: "Of course it's feasible, but..." Yao Jia had a faint smile on her face, "I want you all to come together to save me from wasting time."
"master……"
Huaichuan grabbed her arm worriedly. He just saw that those people had very strong internal strength. Yao Jia would have no chance of winning if she did this.
The three men burst into laughter when they heard this.
"The little girl is quite arrogant."
"But I have conditions." Yao Jia added, "You are not allowed to use internal force!"
The three of them looked at each other, and the bearded man was the first to agree, "Okay, no need to use internal energy, we will fight you with moves. If you can last three moves against the three of us, you win."
Yao Jia nodded and said to Huaichuan: "Just watch from the side."
Huaichuan felt relieved when he saw Yaojia looked confident.
The three of them didn't say anything else. They immediately got ready and attacked Yao Jia.
Yao Jia was agile and dodged left and right, avoiding their moves one by one.
Seeing this, the bearded man shouted loudly and chopped down with the sword in his hand.
Yao Jia paused, tapped the ground with her toes, and leaned back, barely avoiding the blade.
At the same time, my waist felt tighter and I was embraced by someone.
Gu Xiyan was dressed in a gorgeous red dress, standing in front of Yao Jia, swinging the sword in his hand, confronting the bearded man.
He was already handsome, and now in his dignified wedding attire, his already delicate facial features looked even more handsome.
As soon as he appeared, the people watching around him gasped in amazement.
"What are you here for?"
Gu Xiyan turned his head and smiled at her, his deep eyes shimmering with a faint light, "Of course I'm here to help you."
Yao Jia cursed him in her heart for being nosy, but he ran out himself so that she wouldn't have to run in again to answer the call.
Turning around and walking towards the wedding car, "Since the groom has come out, let's go back to the wedding hall."
Everyone:…………
It can still be like this.
Although Xi Po felt that it was unreasonable, she could see that the other party was in a high position and had great power, so she naturally said what he meant.
Besides, having delayed at the door for so long, he was afraid of missing the auspicious time, so he hurriedly asked the ceremonial music team to play music and set off firecrackers.
When everyone saw this, they came forward to make a noise.
"Groom, you are the first one to run out and get on the float by yourself."
"Hahaha, the groom can't wait to meet his wife."
"He must be a man who loves his wife."
……
Everyone laughed, but that smile was not meant to be mocking, but rather to be a blessing.
Gu Xiyan threw away the sword in his hand, and climbed onto the float with Yao Jia amid the laughter of the crowd.
The float started slowly, passed through the busy streets, and drove towards Nangong Mansion.
Those who came to join in the fun all followed the convoy.
The area in front of the villa suddenly became deserted.
"It's so shameful, so shameful!" The bearded man was so angry that he threw the big knife in his hand away.
The whip man agreed and looked at the Gu Castle Master and his wife, "Look at what kind of son you taught!"
The man with the folding fan opened the fan again, waved it, and asked Castle Master Gu.
"Why didn't you respond?"
Fort Gu sighed deeply, "We are used to it as husband and wife."
The brat risked his life for Lord Nangong and almost died on the battlefield. Now he is alive and well, which is better than anything else for the couple.
Mrs. Gu snorted coldly, picked up the basin of water beside her, and splashed it out.
He threw away the basin in his hand, very casually, and waved his hand, "A son who is married off is like water that has been poured out. Let's go back and have a drink."
Inside the car, Gu Xiyan looked at the woman next to him. Her skin was as white as cream and her lips were red as water. With just a little makeup, she was already incredibly beautiful.
The red wedding dress made her look even more charming and beautiful.
His eyes gradually became obsessed, and he couldn't help but move closer to her and reach out to hold her hand.
"Jia Jia, you look so beautiful today..."
Yao Jia despised his lechery in her heart, pulled her hand back, turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Gu Xiyan curled his lips and smiled, continuing to move closer to her.
He moved in, she moved back, and Yao Jia quickly stuck to the car wall.
Gu Xiyan tilted his head to look at her.
"You challenged several masters at the same time just to see me sooner, right?"
"no!"
Those people were all the ones who had been chasing and trying to assassinate her in her previous life. Their martial arts had long been engraved in her mind, so dealing with them was no problem at all.
"Duplicity."
"I just……"
Before she could finish her rebuttal, he suddenly kissed her on the lips.
