Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, the whole city is celebrating. Ming Water City hasn't been this lively in a long time. Today is the wedding of the city lord, and even those who rarely leave their homes are stepping out onto the streets, hoping to get some good luck.
【Sounds of joy and excitement】
The matchmaker shouted, "First bow to the heavens and earth! Second bow to the parents! Then the couple bows to each other!" Accompanied by the matchmaker's loud call, Jiang Duming and Liu Daiyu, both dressed in festive red, performed the traditional ceremony. Although Jiang Duming was the lord of the city, he couldn't break with tradition. Sitting in the hall was Master Liu, with the tablets of the former city lord and his wife brought from the ancestral hall, placed solemnly in the center of the hall.
Liu Dafu looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with reluctance. If it weren't for the reminder from the people around him, he would have shed tears in front of everyone. After blinking and holding back his tears, Liu Dafu calmed down. He thought that as long as his daughter and son-in-law lived a peaceful life in the future, he could rest assured even if he passed away one day.
After the ceremony, Liu Daiyu was supported into the bridal chamber, leaving Jiang Duming to handle his own affairs. With so many guests in the mansion, he had plenty to drink.
After the maidservants and old women left, only Liu Daiyu, with a red veil covering her head, remained by the bedside. Her wedding dress was urgently commissioned by Liu Dafu to more than twenty experienced embroiderers from Jiangnan. They worked day and night, taking turns, and it took them a month to finish it. Liu Daiyu reached out and lightly touched the sleeve, which was embroidered with intertwined double lotus flowers in shades of deep and light red, with added gold and silver threads, giving it a delicate appearance. She ran her fingertips over the lotus flowers, then suddenly clenched her hand, revealing a corner of a smiling mouth from under the veil. This smile was not shy or joyful, but rather a sinister calculation, a suppressed yet trembling sense of satisfaction.
Liu Daiyu (in a sickly tone): "Carrying rain and mist, deep and shallow branches... Hahaha, from now on, there will only be one Liu Daiyu in the world." (She releases her tightly clenched hand)
After three rounds of wine, Jiang Duming finally managed to break away from the crowd and unsteadily made his way to the main room. After closing the door, his eyes instantly cleared, showing no signs of drunkenness. Picking up the scale on the desk, Jiang Duming walked to the bride's side and gently lifted a corner of the red veil with the scale. As he looked at her from the side, he saw a pair of red lips under the veil, seemingly shyly pursed. In an instant, a surge of desire rushed through his heart, and he immediately lifted the red veil, letting it fall to the ground.
Jiang Duming: "Madam?"
Liu Daiyu: (shyly, leaning to the side)
Jiang Duming (sitting on the edge of the bed): "Madam, you don't need to be nervous."
Liu Daiyu: "I... I..."
Jiang Duming: "What does the lady want to say?"
Liu Daiyu (smiling): "I just don't know how to address you."
Jiang Duming (reaching out to turn Liu Daiyu around): "Naturally, you can call me husband in public, but in private, you can call me Duming. I will call you Daiyu. How about that? From now on, we are husband and wife, and you are also the mistress of the Jiang family, the Lady of Ming Water City. As you know, my foundation is still unstable, and there are many busy affairs, so I will rely on you for everything in the house."
Liu Daiyu: " Duming, don't worry, I will take care of the Lord's Manor for you. Since I have married you, I will naturally treat you wholeheartedly. I don't ask for much in this life, only for the health of our parents and to be a good wife and mother."
Jiang Duming: "Rest assured, there will only be you as the lady of the Lord's Manor, I, Jiang Duming, will not deceive you. As for Stepfather, I will also arrange for someone to take care of him. If you miss him, you can have the steward prepare a carriage to take you back. When I have time, I will accompany you to visit. At present, my parents are no longer here, so I will serve Stepfather well."
Liu Daiyu: " Duming..."
Jiang Duming: "With the rain, we haven't even had a toast yet. (Gets up to pour wine, then returns to bed) Come! (They toast and put down their wine glasses, then Liu Daiyu takes Jiang Duming's hand) In the future, I will definitely treat you well."
Jiang Duming embraced his wife, holding her in his arms, and Liu Daiyu leaned her head against her husband's neck. At this moment, if you ignore the satisfaction and shrewdness in the man's expression and the calculation and vigilance in the woman's eyes, it would be a beautiful picture of a newlywed couple. Although both of them have their own calculations, they have gone through the wedding ceremony and become a couple, so they must continue to live their lives.
【The red gauze curtain hangs down, and the red candle flickers with grace】
Liu Daiyu (OS): "Perhaps, he is truly a good man."
Jiang Duming (OS): "Perhaps, she really is a virtuous wife."
Regardless of the future, the pleasures of tonight must not be wasted. That night, joy was turned into waves of passion, and the night was filled with happiness.
