Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 222 Wedding!
Time passed quietly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.
At this time, every house in the Shen Mansion was hung with red lanterns and silks, and the place was decorated with lights and colors, filled with a festive atmosphere.
At this time, Shen Luoyan had been left in the room by her mother Han Yue to dress up and was not allowed to meet Li Xuanfeng .
According to custom, on the wedding day, the groom cannot see the bride until the red veil is lifted at night.
In Shen Luoyan's boudoir, Han Yue was dressing her up, drawing her eyebrows, applying blush, and then dyeing her lipstick red. At this time, Shen Luoyan was already extremely beautiful.
Then Han Yue began to comb Shen Luoyan's hair. While combing her hair gently, she murmured the blessings passed down by her ancestors.
"One comb will comb all the way to the end, two combs will comb all the way to the end, three combs will comb all the gray hair to the eyebrows, four combs will comb all the children and grandchildren all over the ground..." While saying this, Han Yue had tears in her eyes and even her voice was a little choked.
Thinking that her daughter was about to marry Li Xuanfeng and would no longer be a child in her eyes, she felt reluctant.
Shen Luoyan's mood was also infected by her mother's emotions, and she felt a strong reluctance in her heart. From today onwards, she would no longer be the little girl spoiled by her parents.
"Mom, I can't bear to leave you." Shen Luoyan shouted with a hint of tears in her voice.
"Silly child, marriage is the most important thing in your life. When you grow up and meet the person you love, you will naturally leave your parents, start a family, and raise children with your husband." Han Yue consoled her earnestly.
"Mom, I was young and ignorant before, and I didn't take good care of you. How about I let Xuanfeng wait for me for a few years before getting married, so that my daughter can take good care of you." Shen Luoyan said suddenly.
"Silly daughter, even though you married Li Xuanfeng, you still live with us, and not much has changed. It's not too late to be filial after you get married."
Han Yue replied with a smile. Only then did she realize that her daughter's few words instantly dissipated most of the sadness in her heart. She felt extremely relieved. She didn't expect that her daughter was so good at comforting people.
After dressing up Shen Luoyan, Han Yue took out the wedding dress made by the tailor and put it on her. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, and her exquisite makeup, coupled with Shen Luoyan's extraordinary appearance, made her whole body seem to radiate a dazzling glow, like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
"My daughter is so beautiful. She is such a good gift to that bad boy Li Xuanfeng." Even the gentle Han Yue couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing her mother's praise, Shen Luoyan felt very happy and couldn't help but look at herself twice more with satisfaction.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was being helped by the servants of the Shen Mansion to wash and dress up, and put on wedding clothes. He was quietly waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.
Until noon, when a bell rang throughout the Shen Mansion, the entire Shen Mansion seemed to be startled.
All of a sudden, the sound of firecrackers was the first to sound, followed by the incessant sounds of gongs, drums, and suona, instantly filling the Shen residence with joy to its peak.
Li Xuanfeng stood up, with anticipation in his eyes, and, led by the servants of the Shen Mansion, walked towards the main hall of the Shen Mansion where the wedding was to be held.
Han Yue took out the red cloth that had been prepared long ago and covered Shen Luoyan's head with it, hiding her beauty that was so beautiful that it could captivate all creatures. Then Han Yue led Shen Luoyan towards the main hall.
At this time, Shen Hua was sitting on a high seat in the main hall with a smile on his face, waiting for the arrival of Li Xuanfeng and the other man.
Soon, Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan met in the main hall, but at this time Shen Luoyan was covered with a red veil, so her face could not be seen.
At this time, there were many figures standing on both sides of the main hall. They were all friends and relatives of the Shen family. Outsiders had no chance to come here to personally witness the wedding of Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan.
At this moment, both of them were covered in bright red wedding dresses. Han Yue pulled Shen Luoyan to Li Xuanfeng's side, and took out a dark red silk with a red flower folded in the middle, and handed the two ends of the silk to the two of them.
After asking Li Xuanfeng to hold Shen Luoyan, Han Yue turned around and sat in another high seat next to Shen Hua.
As for the fact that Li Xuanfeng's parents did not show up, he had already discussed this matter with Shen Hua. Because Taoyuan Village is far away and it takes several months to go back and forth, he decided to take Shen Luoyan back to inform his parents later.
The host of this wedding was the butler Zhou who had been cured of typhoid fever by Li Xuanfeng. At this time, his typhoid fever had mostly recovered, and his whole mental state was completely different from when Li Xuanfeng first met him. After his typhoid fever was mostly cured, he had once again become the butler of the Shen Mansion.
Butler Zhou was extremely grateful to Li Xuanfeng, and was extremely happy when he knew that he was going to marry the young lady. When Shen Hua decided to let him be the host of the wedding, he felt extremely honored and prepared wholeheartedly for a long time to avoid any mistakes.
"I am honored to preside over the wedding of the young lady and Mr. Li. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me." Butler Zhou first clasped his fists and bowed to all the guests.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!" After a brief pause, Butler Zhou shouted loudly and began to preside over the wedding.
After hearing this, Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan bowed deeply towards the heaven and earth outside the main hall, thanking them for nurturing their creation.
"Bow to your parents!" Butler Zhou's voice resounded loudly again, and he used all his strength.
After hearing this, Li Xuanfeng and the other man turned around and bowed deeply to Shen Hua and Han Yue, thanking their parents for giving them life and raising them.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Then Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan turned around, stood facing each other, and bowed.
After performing this ceremony, the husband and wife will respect and love each other and live together until old age.
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber!" Butler Zhou shouted the last sentence loudly.
After three bows, the wedding was officially completed. Then Li Xuanfeng took Shen Luoyan into the bridal chamber and sat her down in front of the bed.
"My wife, I will go and toast the guests first. You please wait here patiently." Li Xuanfeng said with a chuckle. At this time, Shen Luoyan had officially become his wife.
This is a wedding custom. After the wedding ceremony, the groom must toast to all the guests to express his gratitude.
"Husband, please don't drink too much." When Shen Luoyan heard Li Xuanfeng's address to her, she was shy but full of joy, and she reminded him softly.
"Okay, I'll follow your orders, madam." Li Xuanfeng agreed with a smile.
Li Xuanfeng then left the bridal chamber, returned to the main hall, and began to toast all the guests.
Shen Hua accompanied him throughout the whole process, because Shen Hua knew that Li Xuanfeng could not drink much, so he blocked many toasts from the guests for him.
It was not until an hour later that Li Xuanfeng finished toasting to all the guests. By then, he was already feeling dizzy. Fortunately, he had the help of Shen Hua, otherwise he would have been drunk and unconscious.
Then Li Xuanfeng sat down and ate some food, which relieved his dizziness. He was thinking about Shen Luoyan who was still waiting in the room.
"Go and keep Xiaoyan company. Don't leave her waiting in the room alone." Seeing that he seemed a little restless at this moment, Shen Hua immediately guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile.
"Then I will take my leave first." Li Xuanfeng was filled with gratitude after hearing this and bowed with his fists clasped.
After seeing Shen Hua nod slightly, Li Xuanfeng immediately turned around and went to the bridal chamber where Shen Luoyan was.
At this time, Shen Luoyan was still sitting in front of the bed, without moving, waiting for Li Xuanfeng to lift the red veil on her head.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." After entering the room, Li Xuanfeng said apologetically.
Then Li Xuanfeng came to Shen Luoyan, gently lifted the red veil on her head, and finally saw her extremely delicate face.
Even Li Xuanfeng, who was very familiar with her, was slightly dazed when he saw Shen Luoyan at this moment, because she was so beautiful that if she stood among the flowers, she would surely make all other flowers pale in comparison.
"My wife is so beautiful, her name suits her, she is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on the flowers." After Li Xuanfeng came to his senses, he gave a heartfelt compliment.
When Shen Luoyan heard Li Xuanfeng's praise, she felt as if a honey pot had been overturned in her heart, and felt sweet to the core.
"My wife, you must be hungry. Eat something first." Li Xuanfeng took the snacks on the table. These were prepared by Han Yue. She had been worried that her daughter would be hungry.
Li Xuanfeng took the snack, broke it into small pieces carefully, and gently fed it to Shen Luoyan's mouth. His every move was full of love for her.
Shen Luoyan had a smile in her eyes as she ate the snacks that Li Xuanfeng fed her in small bites.
Li Xuanfeng suddenly realized that Shen Luoyan was the most quiet person he had ever seen today, as if she was a little restrained after marrying him.
"My lady, you don't have to be so reserved. Let's just continue as we did before." Li Xuanfeng said to Shen Luoyan. If Shen Luoyan remained so quiet in the future, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
"Husband, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm tired after a whole day." Shen Luoyan instantly changed her quiet demeanor after hearing this and said with some complaint.
He immediately snatched the plate of snacks from Li Xuanfeng's hand and started eating them in big mouthfuls. It was obvious that he was very hungry.
Seeing Shen Luoyan's appearance, Li Xuanfeng's heart was a little confused for a moment. He didn't expect that his words would make Shen Luoyan change so quickly.
However, he quickly came to his senses and watched Shen Luoyan's every move with a smile. This that he was familiar with. If she changed drastically after getting married, it would make her live too restrained.
"Why don't we change back to our previous names? I'll call you Luoyan and you call me Xuanfeng." Then Li Xuanfeng turned around and thought about it, then proposed again.
"Okay, we are used to calling each other that. It does feel a bit awkward to call each other husband and wife." Shen Luoyan felt the same way and expressed her agreement.
Li Xuanfeng smiled and nodded. At this moment, he felt that he and Shen Luoyan seemed to have a telepathic connection and had the same ideas.
After finishing the snacks, Li Xuanfeng poured her a cup of tea. It was almost evening and the sky began to darken.
After seeing Shen Luoyan finally stop, Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Luoyan, let's drink to each other's cups."
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, Shen Luoyan's little face instantly blushed. She knew the implication of this matter, but still nodded slightly firmly.
Li Xuanfeng took two , poured them with wine, and handed a glass to Shen Luoyan.
The two men intertwined their arms and drank the entire glass of wine.
This wine is extremely sweet, implying that the future days of the newlyweds will be as sweet as this wine.
After drinking the wedding wine, Li Xuanfeng's face was full of smiles, while Shen Luoyan's face was full of blushes, and she didn't even dare to look up at Li Xuanfeng.
Li Xuanfeng blew out the red candle on the table, and the whole room immediately fell into darkness. Then Li Xuanfeng took Shen Luoyan's hand and walked towards the wedding bed covered with a mandarin duck pillow...
