Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 41

"Haha, Brother Zhao, congratulations on being a groom today." Xu Qian clasped his hands together and laughed, "Miss Chunxi has already been redeemed by me. She is homeless. Thinking of her fate with you, I suggest your mother take her in." She will be the daughter-in-law. Your mother agreed immediately." He got off his horse as he spoke.

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Mingtang sternly said, "How can a marriage between a man and a woman be such a trifle?" The sedan chair has already taken the bride, so this marriage cannot be withdrawn.What should he do?
"Absurd?" Xu Qian pulled Zhao Mingtang off his horse and dragged him into the Zhao family's yard, saying, "Your parents are the matchmaker. You and your sister-in-law are already husband and wife. Come on, be a happy groom, and let your old lady hug you next year." A fat grandson." Their horses were very tame, and they were taken to the corner shed in the Zhao family courtyard by enthusiastic neighbors.

Zhao Mingtang was speechless, and was pushed and pulled by Xu Qian and a neighbor boy into his own door.

"Mingtang, congratulations."

"Mingtang, Aunt Huang has already seen the bride for you, she is a very juicy girl, you are really lucky."

"Uncle Zhao, my little aunt is very beautiful. My mother said that the future little brothers and sisters must be beautiful too."

With a stiff face, Zhao Mingtang thanked the neighbors who knew him well.

The courtyard of the Zhao family is relatively large. The main house is one bright and two dark. The ancillary rooms on the east are the kitchen, utility room and thatched shed, and on the west there are grape trellises and well platforms.After Zhao's mother came back, she quickly tidied up the Westinghouse where her son lived, and put on clean bedding. After the bride came, she took her to sit in the Westinghouse, and waited for her son to come back to worship and get married.

Seeing her son coming back, Zhao's mother, who was full of excitement, immediately said, "Mingtang, you are back, come, come in quickly. Sister Xia, take the bride out to worship the heaven and the earth."

"Mother, have you asked the girl about this matter?" Zhao Mingtang said in a deep voice.The tables and chairs in the living room of the main house were all put aside, and on the long table in the innermost wall were several plates of auspicious dried fruit pastries, and two red candles were lit.In the middle of the room is a grand teacher's chair, presumably it is the seat of his only surviving elder.

"Wenqing agreed, and she has changed her name to my mother." Aunt Zhao said beamingly, "I have waited for more than 20 years, and finally I am a mother-in-law."

The matchmaker took out a red robe and handed it to Zhao Mingtang and said, "Officer Groom, today I want to wear a red robe and look happy."

"Wen Qing?" Zhao Mingtang asked in surprise.This should be Chunxi's real name.

Seeing that Zhao Mingtang didn't take the groom's robe, Xu Qian took it for him with a shake, and put it on his shoulders.

"My daughter-in-law's surname is Xiao, and her name is Wenqing. You can tell from her name that she is a child from a good family." Aunt Zhao waved to the west, "Look, your wife is here."

Zhao Mingtang turned his face to look, and saw the neighbor, Aunt Fang, walking towards the bride who was walking slowly and faltering a little.By the way, Chun Xi, no, Wen Qing was injured by Mrs. He, and it is difficult for her to walk.

"Get dressed quickly." Xu Qian urged.

"Okay, okay, let the bride and groom start worshiping the heavens and the earth." The matchmaker, part-time bridegroom, took out a red wedding belt with a red silk flower tied in the middle, put one end in the bride's hand, and the other end to the groom.An old man who acted as the master of ceremonies hummed twice, opened his throat and said, "The bride and groom bow to heaven and earth."

To accept or not to accept?Do you really want to marry?

Zhao Mingtang hesitated in his heart.

Seeing this, the matchmaker forced the other end of the Hongxi belt into his hand.Seeing this, Zhao Mingtang had no choice but to reach out for Xu Qian to help him put the groom's robe on the guard's fine attire.

Aunt Fang and the part-time bride's matchmaker supported the bride and knelt down slowly facing the door, Xu Qian pushed Zhao Mingtang who was still hesitant, "Brother Zhao, pray to heaven and earth. Your marriage certificate has already been signed, The government has also filed a record."

Zhao Mingtang frowned deeply, then resolutely walked to the thin bride, turned around and knelt facing the door, kowtowing to the heaven and earth together with the bride.It's a done deal, if he doesn't visit the court, can he return the bride?The bride was helpless in the capital, not even a place to stay for the night.

Seeing that he agreed, and knowing that he, who was completely unaware before, approved the marriage, everyone was relieved.Aunt Zhao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"Second obeisance to the high hall." The voice of the old man acting as the master of ceremonies became louder.Zhao Mingtang was grown up by several of their older generation, because he had a scar the size of a copper coin on his face, and later his face was disfigured, and he was never able to be called a daughter-in-law. They were all worried about him.Today, the bride fell from the sky, Mrs. Zhao was full of praise after seeing people, and they were all happy for the mother and son.

Aunt Fang and the matchmaker helped the bride who was said to have injured her knees to stand up, turned around, and knelt down to kowtow to Aunt Zhao who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair.Zhao Mingtang worshiped Gaotang together with the bride.

"Happy husband and wife."

Zhao Mingtang hesitated slightly, seeing the bride who was facing him knelt down towards him without hesitation, he immediately knelt down and bowed to the other couple.Does the bride now know who she is marrying?Or, as long as someone marries her as a wife, she will marry?Zhao Mingtang was calm on the surface, but the lake in his heart was churning like boiling water.

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber." The old man who acted as the master of ceremonies shouted happily.Zhao Mingtang led Hongxi into his dormitory, and the matchmaker happily followed him into the room with Aunt Fang supporting the bride.

In the temporarily arranged bridal chamber, two flower candles illuminated the surroundings brightly, full of joy.
