Chapter 171 Getting married
"Mother, I live in Prince An's mansion, not far from you. Why are you so sad? Besides, you have always been worried that I would not be able to get married. Now your worry is gone! Not only am I married, but I am married ahead of schedule! You should be happy!"
Xie Yiyao hugged Gu Yingxue's arm with a smug look on her face. Who was nagging her all day long about how she couldn't get married?
Not only did she get married, she got married early!
Woohoo~, just thinking about it makes me so happy!
Wuuuu~, that bald donkey better not appear in front of her again!
Otherwise, she would beat him till his teeth were all gone!
"I want you to get married, but I don't want you to marry a sickly person."
After hearing this, Gu Yingxue's eyes were filled with tears and her face looked very sad.
She would rather her daughter remain single for her entire life than marry a sickly man!
"Mother, father said he would make the arrangements anyway. So what if I'm a sickly girl? I can stay with you forever after I become a widow!"
Xie Yiyao comforted Gu Yingxue nonchalantly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her consolation, Gu Yingxue cried even harder. Her daughter became a widow at such a young age!
Xie Yiyao knew very well that her mother Yao was determined to marry her off, and her lips twitched:
"Don't cry, mom, don't cry. At worst, I can find you a live-in son-in-law. We will both stay by your side!"
"Really?"
Gu Yingxue stopped crying instantly and looked at Xie Yiyao with joy in her eyes.
The eldest prince: …….
I'm not dead yet!
The mother and daughter were talking when a servant came to report that someone from the Gu family had arrived.
Then Yang rushed in and hugged Xie Yiyao in her arms:
"Let's go, little girl! Let's go with our aunt! We don't want to stay in this damn capital anymore, let's leave the capital!"
Xie Yiyao looked at Yang, whose chest was heaving violently, hair was messy and she was emotional because she walked too fast. She was about to speak, but she saw Yang crying miserably:
"Oh my god! That unlucky prince, he didn't want to marry any of the noble ladies in the capital! He insisted on marrying my sweetheart. Is his eyes blinded by shit? Why did he fall for my sweetheart?"
Xie Yiyao: …….
What does it mean that you only like her when your eyes are covered with shit?
Someone explain it to her!
Forget it! Let my aunt cry!
She didn't want to say a word of comfort!
Xie Tingzhou invited brothers Gu Xiucai and Gu Yulang, and they discussed for a long time.
When Gu Xiucai left, he said to Gu Yingxue with great satisfaction:
"Yingxue, I am really relieved that you are marrying Tingzhou. It is better for Yaoyao and Yichen to have him as their father to take care of them than to follow our Gu family! The Gu family will not hold you back in the future, you just need to live your own life well!"
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Yiyao's wedding day arrived!
Because she had not yet reached the age of marriage, she would have to sleep in separate rooms from Feng Junyi after the marriage. In addition, Feng Junyi was too weak to withstand the stress, so the palace did not hold a grand wedding for them.
But because the emperor wanted to compensate Xie Yiyao, the reward he gave her was extremely generous. In addition, the dowry that the Xie family prepared for her was hasty but not perfunctory at all, and the Gu family also sent a lot of gifts to add to her dowry.
So Xie Yiyao's dowry was actually very generous. Dozens of miles of red dowry stretched from the beginning to the end of the street, with countless flowers laying on the roadside, and the trees and shops along the way were hung with red ribbons by the Xie family.
The most eye-catching thing is the black-armored guards lined up neatly on both sides of the sedan chair, which makes people on both sides of the street shudder!
"Hey, hey, hey, the eldest prince actually came out in person to pick up the bride! Didn't they say that he's in poor health and would fall over if the wind blew?!"
"Look at what you said. Even if you are in poor health, you still don't have to marry a wife!"
"This eldest prince is so handsome, what a pity! Alas!"
A passerby sighed with a look of regret.
Everyone around him knew why he was sighing, but the sighs were soon interrupted by the two assassins behind the dowry team.
"I heard that the Xie family announced that they would give the bride 100 assassins. It seems to be true. Look at the two men holding swords on both sides of the bridal sedan. They are assassins at first glance!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the Xie family is really generous! I heard that the aristocratic families who dote on their daughters will indeed give their daughters assassins as dowry. But they only give one or two. Back then, when the Yangcheng Marquis's Mansion gave 10 assassins when marrying off a girl, it was unprecedented. I didn't expect that the Xie family is even more powerful!"
"Oh, if the assassins didn't usually show up, I would really like to see the spectacular scene of 100 assassins following the sedan chair!"
"I've always heard that the Xie family is the richest family in the capital. Today I see it's true! Look, that's a rosewood carved bed! Tsk tsk tsk ~"
"Tsk tsk tsk, we didn't even know that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was not going to get married! The entire Moyang Street is actually the property of the Xie family! The Xie family actually gave the eldest daughter of Xie an entire street as a dowry! The Xie family is really generous!"
"Why would I be reluctant to give it up? The Xie family even gave this young lady 10 farms as a dowry! My God! If one farm is 100 mu, 10 of them would be mu! If I were prettier, I would want to be Miss Xie's lover!"
A handsome man dressed as a scholar said with regret.
His words caused contempt among the people around him. He didn't even look in the mirror, but still wanted to be Miss Xie's lover!
Besides, even if he were to be the concubine, it wouldn’t be his turn!
There are private rooms near the windows in the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street.
Xie Jinyue's sisters who had wanted to watch Xie Yiyao's embarrassment, as well as some other noble ladies who wanted to watch her make fun of her with ulterior motives, all had stiff faces at this moment.
Looking at the generous dowry team and listening to the conversations of the onlookers, they felt mixed emotions.
They were all carefully trained by aristocratic families according to the standards of mistresses of the house.
Naturally, they understood that the Xie family's move was not only for Xie Yiyao to save face, but also to tell the royal family that Xie Yiyao was protected by someone, so that the royal family would not dare to look down on her.
The Xie family is so attentive to a burden!
"Humph! What are you so proud of? You're still a widow in the end!"
Lin Qingjin looked at Xie Yiyao's dowry team with jealous eyes and couldn't help but whisper.
"You are asking for your life. How can you and I discuss the eldest prince? Be careful not to cause trouble for the family!"
Jiang Wanyan, the eldest daughter of the Hanlin Academy scholar who was beside Lin Qingjin, quickly stopped Lin Qingjin from speaking any further.
She now really regretted that she had agreed to take Lin Qingjin out out of spite of her weakness. Even when the Lin family had suffered such a disaster, she was still so outspoken. She should stay away from them in the future!
Lin Qingjin realized that she had said something out of turn and didn't dare to say anything more, but the look she gave towards Xie Yiyao's bridal sedan was still filled with jealousy and resentment!
Ever since finding out that Xie Yiyao was her father's biological daughter, Lin Qingjin had developed a hostility towards Xie Yiyao for some unknown reason.
Don't think she doesn't know. Now people in the capital are mocking her father, thinking that he was ungrateful and abandoned his wife for the sake of his future. It is because of his bad character that he has ended up like this.
People in the capital also compared Xie Yiyao and Xie Yichen with her and her two younger brothers, making the three of them look worthless!
Lin Qingjin looked at the pale-faced Feng Junyi in the wedding procession, a sneer flashed in her eyes, Xie Yiyao should just be very proud today.
She won't be able to be proud for many days!
She heard that the eldest prince would not live for many days, so the emperor was anxious to get him married. Xie Yiyao could only wait to endure the misery of being a widow for the rest of her life!
