The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

"The bride is coming..." chanting was heard outside the house.

Jiang Nansheng heard it and looked over, and saw the red figure walking slowly towards them.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. He could no longer see anything else and walked towards her with firm steps.

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and looked at the bluestone road under his feet. The small space under the red veil turned a light pink in his sight.

Just as she was about to step over the steps to the main hall, a large white hand with distinct joints and lightly calloused palms appeared in front of her.

"Oh, look how anxious our Fifth Master is!"

Along with the man's teasing, there were bursts of booing from the main hall and outside the courtyard.

Gu Jinchu pursed his lips, feeling that the corners of his lips would still rise involuntarily, and slowly raised his hand and placed it in Jiang Nansheng's palm.

Amidst the voices coming one after another, his words, "Chu Jie'er, I'm here to pick you up," were not missed.

Jiang Nansheng held her hand, and after she stepped over the stairs, he took her to the main hall to offer tea and say goodbye to his mother-in-law.

Zheng Mudan sat alone at the head of the main hall and glanced at her mother who was sitting on the side.

Both mother and daughter saw reluctance in each other's eyes.

After Gu Jinchu stood still, Jiang Nansheng took the teacup from the tray in the maid's hand, bowed in front of Zheng Mudan, and presented it with both hands: "Mother-in-law, please have my son-in-law's new tea."

Zheng Mudan was filled with satisfaction. She took the teacup with a smile and took a sip.

He put the teacup on the coffee table beside him, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with reluctance. "In the days ahead, we will grow old together and have many children. Husbands and wives should respect and love each other, support each other, and weather the storms together."

Her voice choked with sobs as she recited all the admonitions that a father and a mother should give to their children.

Jiang Nansheng bowed again, "Please rest assured, mother-in-law."

Gu Jinchu bowed: "My daughter knows."

He stood there without moving, and when everyone thought he was going to say something, they saw the maid coming over with a tray.

Jiang Nansheng walked up to Zheng Liushi, bowed and handed the teacup to her, "Grandma, please have some new tea from your grandson-in-law."

The people inside and outside the room were stunned for a moment. This was really against the rules.

Zheng Liu has lived here for decades, and even in the 21st century, there was no custom of serving tea to the bride's grandmother at weddings.

But Jiang Nansheng toasted, which not only broke the secular rules, but also made people know how much he valued Chu Jie'er.

She took the tea, tears finally falling from her eyes, "Take good care of Chu Jie'er... Go... Go."

Gu Jinchu grew up with her grandmother for half of her life, and her peach blossom eyes under the red veil were misty.

"The bride is out—"

As the singing outside the house sounded, the sadness of parting spread across the faces of the Zheng family members in the main room.

Gu Jinchu was carried into the bridal sedan by his third cousin Zheng Kaicheng.

The sound of gongs and drums rang out again, and the people outside the Peony Garden knew that the bride was about to come out.

Everyone in Shengjing knew that today Anping County's main wife was going to marry the fifth master of the Jiang family.

From Gu'an to Xianghe, the streets and roadsides that the wedding procession passed by had already been decorated with red silk.

The grand wedding procession was already spectacular when it arrived, and now everyone was even more curious about the grace of Princess Anping and her dowry.

"Here it comes, here it comes, look!"

The crowd waiting outside the peony garden stretched their necks. The bride was covered with a red veil, and they could only see the luxurious and complicated wedding dress, but it did not hinder their excitement and enthusiasm.

"Pressure sedan——"

Jiang Nansheng climbed onto the horse, turned his head and saw the curtain of the sedan chair falling. He looked again before looking away.

"Get up the sedan——"

Gu Jinchu sat in the slowly moving sedan chair and could not see the grand scene outside.

The noisy crowd was talking about the dowry of Princess Anping with great relish.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are ten miles of red makeup.

The eighty betrothal gifts sent by the Jiang family were brought back intact, as well as the dowries given by my mother, grandmother and three uncles, a total of one hundred and eighty sets.

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the wedding procession occasionally threw wedding money to the crowd on the roadside.

The scene was filled with congratulations and praises.

A convoy was blocked at the intersection of the official road. A man in a white Taoist robe riding on a horse watched the lively scene in silence.

"Eldest Prince, today is the day when the fifth master of the Jiang family will marry." Luo Xingzhou explained with his hands clasped.

Zhao Kang looked at the setting sun in the sky, nodded and whispered, "Time flies."
