Chapter 521 He has to keep his life to protect her
At dusk, when day and night alternate, the yang energy descends and the yin energy rises, which is the best transformation and fusion of the yin and yang energies. Therefore, holding a wedding at this time symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang and the harmony between husband and wife.
The small courtyard hall was hung with red silk, and a pair of wedding candles with flickering flames were placed on the incense table. All four walls were covered with red double happiness paper-cuts, which sparkled brightly in the candlelight. Thin smoke rose from the incense burner, emitting a faint sweet fragrance. Sanxiu sat alone in the high hall, sitting upright with a rare solemnity, which made the medicine boys unconsciously quiet down when they saw her.
"The auspicious time has come! The auspicious time has come!" Not long after, Xiaolu ran in from outside shouting.
"The auspicious time has arrived, please invite the groom!" Xiuming, who was standing next to Sanxiu, heard the time and immediately shouted outside the door.
Afterwards, Zeng Si strode to the front of the hall in a wedding dress. He had a slender figure and looked a bit like a scholar. His handsome face was fair and rosy, which could not conceal his joy and happiness. Facing the congratulations from everyone, he was no longer nervous and stuttering as usual. Instead, he bowed and thanked everyone one by one in a casual and relaxed manner. The joy and warmth at this moment also made him feel unprecedentedly at ease.
"Please invite the newlyweds to come out, and the newlyweds to come into the hall!" After the hall became quiet, Xiu Ming shouted again.
Huanyu walked out of the west wing with the help of her sisters Honghua and Siyao. She walked lightly and gracefully. Although her delicate red makeup was covered by a veil, it could not hide her beauty.
From the moment Yanyu appeared, Zeng Si's affectionate gaze had been glued to her. As she walked towards him step by step, he had already grinned unconsciously. This infatuated look also made everyone laugh. Honghua took his sister's hand and put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Silly, my sister is in your hands. You must treat her well and protect her in the future. If she gets hurt, I will never let you off easily!"
"Don't worry, sister. Even if it costs Zeng Si his life, he will..." Zeng Si came to his senses, tightly held Yan Yu's hand and turned to Hong Hua to swear. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by everyone.
"On such a happy day, you dare not say anything unlucky!" Sanxiu, who was sitting in the hall, couldn't help but glared at him.
"What a bummer, what a bummer." Zeng Si's face turned redder as he laughed, and he bowed to everyone repeatedly.
"Let's go and pay our respects to the emperor." Xuanyu smiled sweetly under the red veil, and then pulled him over the threshold. With everyone's joyful blessings, they came to Sanxiu, and Xiuming shouted again:
"Bow to heaven and earth, and be grateful for the good fortune bestowed by heaven!"
"Bow to your parents..."
"I am grateful for your kindness in giving Xuanyu a new life!" Xuanyu finished speaking before Xiuming finished speaking. Sanxiu nodded silently with tears in her eyes.
"Husband and wife bow to each other and sign a hundred years of love!"
With the help of her sister, Huan Yu separated from Zeng Si, and then the two of them bowed to each other at the same time in tacit understanding.
"The newlyweds enter the bridal chamber!"
"Congratulations to my third brother for finally getting his beautiful wife. Even if my eldest brother is still alive, he will be happy for me!"
Just as the newlyweds were about to enter the bridal chamber surrounded by the medicine boys, a cold voice suddenly came from outside, and both Xuanyu and Zeng Si's faces changed in shock.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Sanxiu Pharmacy?" Xiaolu jumped out first to block the people outside the yard, and shouted with a frown.
"What? Third brother, you don't welcome second brother to your wedding?" Xue Gen put down the iron rod on his shoulder, ignored the person in front of him, and once again cast a resentful look at Zeng Si who had walked to the door.
"If you are here to give us blessings, we will naturally welcome you. But if you dare to ruin my sister and brother-in-law's good fortune, I will make you regret it!" Without waiting for Zeng Si to speak, Honghua strode forward, sneering and putting one hand into her sleeve.
"Sister, he is Brother Zeng's sworn brother, don't do anything rash!" Xuanyu guessed what her sister was going to do, and hurriedly stopped her. Then, under everyone's gaze, she turned to Xue Gen and said, "Brother Zeng and I are now married, and his second brother is also my second brother. Marriage is a big deal and it's not a joke. Our wedding hasn't been completed yet, and it's not good to miss the auspicious time. Brother, can you wait for a while?"
Xue Gen said nothing, but just snorted coldly and turned his head away. He had always been annoyed with this woman, especially because her abducted his third brother, for which he had held a grudge against her. However, when he saw the joy on his third brother's face today, he did not hate her so much anymore.
Zeng Si still stood there with a frown on his face. Since he saw his second brother and learned from him that his eldest brother was no longer alive, he was heartbroken by the shocking news. He wanted to run to his second brother and ask him what had happened, but one of his hands was still tightly held by Yan Yu. He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Your second brother is here and no one can hurt him, but our wedding must go on. If you really want to spend your life with me, then let's enter the bridal chamber." Seeing that Zeng Si did not respond for a long time, Yan Yu sighed lightly and then said.
Hearing Yanyu's voice turn cold, Zeng Si didn't dare to hesitate any longer and took her hand to continue walking towards the bridal chamber. Honghua, Sanxiu and others heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
The newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, and everyone was chatting and laughing as they waited for the banquet to begin. Honghua was busy greeting the three disciples and ignored Xue Gen who was in the corner. Xiuming saw that his sworn brother Zeng Si had a bandit-like air, but thinking that anyone who came on a big day was a guest, he also walked up to him, bowed and said with a smile:
"So you are Mr. Zeng's sworn brother. May I ask what your name is?"
"My last name is Xue, you can call me whatever you want." Seeing that the other party was gentle and polite, Xue Gen did not continue to show displeasure, but just bowed and said.
"Mr. Xue, thank you for your courtesy." Xiu Ming bowed again and said with a smile.
Mr. Xue?
Xue Gen had never been addressed in such a fancy way before. He stood there with his mouth half open for a moment. After a moment, he awkwardly bowed in return.
In the bridal chamber, Huanyu and Zeng Si both sat quietly by the bed. Soon, she spoke again:
"Lift the veil. After you lift the veil and drink the wedding wine, go find your second brother."
"Xianyu..." Zeng Si was overjoyed when he heard this. He held her hand and started to speak, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he simply smiled instead, and picked up the wedding scale beside the bed and slowly lifted the red veil.
As the veil was lifted, Huan Yu shyly looked up at the man in front of her who had become her husband. Today, his wedding dress made him look even more charming.
"儇... No, it's my wife." Her face was as rosy as peach blossoms, and her smile was as sweet as the spring breeze. Zeng Si looked at her infatuatedly and called her affectionately.
"Stop looking and go pour the wine quickly. Don't keep your second brother waiting for too long." Xuanyu shyly pushed him aside and said with a smile.
"With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!" Zeng Si happily hugged Xuan Yu in his arms again.
As night falls, the banquet has begun. The courtyard is bustling with laughter and the aroma of wine and food wafts through the air. Honghua is walking among the crowd, laughing and holding a wine jug. In comparison, the lakeside is very quiet.
"Brother, you are so confused. How could you easily believe what the court said? If the court was really so benevolent, the people of Jingsong Kingdom would have lived and worked in peace and contentment long ago, and we would not have been forced to go up the mountain to become bandits!" After learning about the disaster at Yanjiaopo and the cause of death of his eldest brother from his second brother, Zeng Si was both sad and angry. He raised his hand and pounded on the pillar under the pavilion, crying sadly.
"Today is your big day, I shouldn't have come to spoil your fun." Seeing that his third brother still had feelings for Yanjiaopo, Xue Gen's previous resentment gradually dissipated and he regained his composure.
"I'm sorry, brother, and I'm sorry for Yanjiapo. At the beginning..."
"This is a trap set by the court. What does it have to do with you? Even if you were here, you might not be able to save Yanjiapo!" Before Zeng Si could finish blaming himself, Xue Gen interrupted him and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Now that you have a family, I am relieved to see that you are doing well!"
He had come all the way here just to ask his third brother to follow him to avenge Yanjiaopo and his eldest brother, but now he just couldn't bring himself to say it. His third brother had already left Yanjiaopo and lived a normal life of getting married and starting a family, so why should he force him?
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. We need to take a long-term approach to the revenge between eldest brother and Yanjiapo." Zeng Si understood his second brother's temperament, so he also advised nervously.
"Second brother, I understand. Third brother, don't worry. No matter how impulsive I am, I won't be so stupid as to die in vain. You should just live your life peacefully and don't worry about me."
Zeng Si frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He could not forget the tragic deaths of his elder brother and the brothers in Yanjiapo, but he could not let down his newly married wife. What's more, Yingmen had no intention of letting Yanyu go so far, so he had to keep his life to protect her.
