Chapter 1469: Fireworks!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The people of the surrounding villages had long heard that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were going to get married today. Coupled with the current situation, everyone anticipated to see the bride. Naturally, every household came out to watch the show, which made the scene even more lively.
When they took a detour back to Locust Village from the official road, they had yet to reach their house when the house had already started to set off firecrackers again, indicating that the bridal procession had arrived and that the bride was about to get sent off.
“He’s here! He’s here!”
It was originally fine, but once the firecrackers were set off outside, Li Hehua, Yu Hongyan, and the other people in charge of the bride suddenly became nervous. They quickly let Jiang Yue put on the soft-soled wedding shoes and covered her head with a veil.
Her vision was blocked just like that. Under the veil, the corners of Jiang Yue’s mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
Xue Yan got off his horse and was immediately escorted into the house by everyone. Then, he was escorted to the bride’s room.
Then, Xue Yan also became nervous.
The firecrackers were still playing outside, and the joyous music was still blowing. It was very loud, but not as loud as his heartbeat.
His palms were sweating.
Especially when he saw Jiang Yue, who had a veil over her head and was dressed in wedding clothes that were a pair with his own, the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Fortunately, everyone was busy urging him to hurry up and welcome the bride out of the door. They did not notice that something was wrong with him.
“Take it, take it.” Yu Hongyan quickly handed the other end of the red silk to Xue Yan.
One end was already in Jiang Yue’s hands.
The big red flower hung down in the middle of the red silk as if two hearts were connected. Xue Yan quietly let out a breath, then relying on the red silk in his hand, he held Jiang Yue’s hand and slowly walked out.
According to the custom, when the people of Da Ling married off their daughter, if her parents were not in the world, she would have to pay her respects to her parents’ memorial tablets. Therefore, the memorial tablets of Jiang Yue’s parents were placed in the hall.
Jiang Yue was led by Xue Yan. Then, the two of them knelt and kowtowed to the memorial tablet. It was considered as a new bride bidding farewell to her parents.
Then, Jiang Yue was led out of the central room and out of the courtyard. She got into the sedan chair parked outside.
Xue Yan once again mounted his horse, once again at the very front.
This time, there were many people in the procession. Not only were there bridal escorts, but there were also groom escorts. Some dowries were more than ten miles long. They were carried out of the house one by one.
As the sky was turning dark, a group of people holding sheep-horn lanterns followed them.
Xue Shi and the others took out their phones and took as many pictures as they could.
It was not until the last dowry was sent out that the family began to tidy up the hall. They removed the memorial tablets of Jiang Yue’s parents and placed four chairs.
When the team returned, it was time for the ceremony. Xue Yan not only had his biological parents, former Emperor Hao and Shao Youyue, but also his adoptive parents, Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia. To Xue Yan, Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia were also his biological parents, so when it came to the ceremony, he wanted to pay his respects to the four of them.
Since the bride had already boarded the bridal sedan chair, this trip around the villages was different from the first trip. This time, fireworks were set off on both sides of the road.
Ever since Da Ling started making cannons, someone from the Ministry of Works had figured out fireworks without Jiang Yue’s guidance.
Once the fireworks were lit, they immediately shot into the sky and bloomed. Immediately, the sky was filled with stars. It was beautiful.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan got married under the fireworks.
Whether it was her sitting in the wedding sedan, Xue Yan riding on a horse, the bridal procession, or even the villages within ten miles, everyone saw the bright fireworks.
