Chapter 251 Getting married
Chapter 251 Getting married
Gu Jingzhi returned to the city and went directly to Li Xi's house.
When I opened the door, I saw her seriously turning over and drying herbs on the herb rack. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body, making people feel warm just by looking at her.
Gu Jingzhi walked over, hugged her from behind, and buried his head in her shoulder, "Axi."
"Well, what's wrong?" Li Xi noticed that he was in a bad mood.
"Nothing." Gu Jingzhi shook his head, his voice a little low, "Axi, let's get married."
"Okay."
"Don't worry, I promise that I will be loyal to you in the future..." Gu Jingzhi was rarely incoherent.
Suddenly, he reacted, his eyes lit up, "Axi, what did you say?"
Li Xi turned to face him, smiled at his shocked eyes, and said, "Okay."
"Okay?" Gu Jingzhi was still a little stunned when he heard the answer again, as if he suddenly didn't understand the meaning of these two.
"What? Are you not satisfied?" Li Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Jingzhi.
"No, I, I'm just too surprised." Gu Jingzhi smiled and hugged Li Xi's waist, and couldn't help but turn around twice.
Li Xi looked at his silly look with a smile in her eyes, "Look at what you have accomplished."
Ever since Li Xi agreed to marry Gu Jingzhi, Gu Jingzhi has been brimming with happiness and his good mood is visible to everyone.
While having dinner in the evening, Hu Zi keenly sensed the strange atmosphere around him.
He looked at Gu Jingzhi on the left and Li Xi on the right, "Brother Jingzhi, you seem very happy, did something happen?"
Gu Jingzhi did not answer Hu Zi immediately, but looked at Li Xi opposite him. Li Xi paused for a moment while picking up the food with his chopsticks.
She put down her chopsticks and looked at Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, my sister is getting married."
"Ah?" Hu Zi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's good to get married, Brother Jingzhi, you have to treat my sister well, otherwise I won't let you go."
"Don't worry, I will treat your sister well." Gu Jingzhi said seriously.
Hu Zi also looked at him seriously, and his eyes didn't seem fake. "I will keep an eye on you. If you dare to treat my sister badly, I will definitely not let you go."
"Hu Zi, don't worry, sister will protect herself." Hu Zi's words made Li Xi feel warm in her heart.
Hu Zi responded with a smile, and after eating a few bites, he said he was full.
Watching Hu Zi enter the room, Li Xi put down her chopsticks. She could feel that Hu Zi was not as happy as he appeared.
Gu Jingzhi also retracted his gaze, "Hu Zi must be reluctant to leave you."
"Ah."
At first, Li Xi just regarded him as her responsibility, as the responsibility she had to bear for occupying the original body, but people have feelings. They have lived together for such a long time, and she has long regarded him as her own brother.
"Axi, after we get married, I will move in."
Li Xi obviously didn't expect him to say that. After all, they were not marrying into the family.
Gu Jingzhi continued, "The general's mansion is right next door anyway, so we can just open a door in the middle. There's no need to be so particular at the border."
After hearing what he said, Li Xi felt warm and relieved in her heart. She knew that he said this from her perspective and for her own benefit.
Although she agreed to Gu Jingzhi's proposal, she was still worried about Hu Zi.
No matter how stable and mature he appears, he is still just a child after all.
"Okay." Li Xi's eyes were moist.
Gu Jingzhi walked over and sat down, hugged her shoulders and let her lean on him, "Your brother is my brother. Hu Zi is not your responsibility alone."
……
I don’t know how Xiao Ze discussed it with Gu Changfeng, and Gu Jingzhi is not interested in the follow-up of the iron mine incident.
He is now busy preparing for his wedding.
Although Li Xi agreed to his proposal, he was always worried that things would get more complicated, so he wanted to marry her as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Mrs. Feng had been preparing for it. As soon as Li Xi agreed and Gu Jingzhi went back and told her about it, Mrs. Feng immediately asked people to get started.
After the matter was settled, Xiao Ze was about to leave. As the crown prince, he could not stay away for too long. But when he heard that Gu Jingzhi was going to get married, he suddenly was not in a hurry to leave. He sent a letter to the capital saying that he wanted to stay and attend Gu Jingzhi's wedding.
According to Mrs. Feng, she only has one son, Gu Jingzhi, so the wedding will naturally be a grand one.
But neither Gu Jingzhi nor Li Xi wanted the wedding to be too grand. According to Interest's idea, it would be enough to invite relatives and friends of both parties to witness it, and other complicated and grand ceremonies were just formalities.
This was also what Gu Jingzhi meant. He was afraid that Li Xi would go back on her word, so the wedding was prepared in a hurry. Only his colleagues in the Zhenbei Army could attend the wedding. As for the others, even if they posted an invitation, the wedding would probably be over by the time they arrived.
As for the opinions of outsiders, neither Gu Jingzhi nor Li Xi cared much. They just lived their own lives and didn't care what they said.
……
Ten days later, a simple wedding began with the sound of firecrackers.
Although it is simple, it is only relatively simple.
It was still dark outside, but the General's Mansion and the Li family's home were already brightly lit. The big red wedding characters and lanterns looked very festive.
Afraid that the young people might not understand, Nanny Feng arrived at the Li Residence yesterday to help with arrangements.
Hu Zi and A Wei were responsible for stopping people on Li Xi's side. After some trouble, Gu Jingzhi carried Li Xi into the bridal sedan.
"The bride is getting ready!"
Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, Gu Jingzhi jumped on his horse and set off with the bridal sedan and the eighteen dowries he had prepared for Li Xi.
Li Xi's home was only separated from the General's Mansion by a wall, so it was naturally impossible to go straight to the General's Mansion from Li Xi's home. The wedding had to be simple, but not crude.
Gu Jingzhi needed to ride a horse and lead the sedan chair team around Jiayu Pass before entering the general's mansion.
The people living in the border areas have always been very poor, and their weddings and funerals are very simple. They have never seen such a grand wedding ceremony, even though this is already the way they have simplified it again.
As soon as the sedan chair came into the street, it shocked all the people who came to watch the fun.
Wow, it’s worthy of a great general marrying a daughter-in-law. This is really a big deal.
"Look, how many dowries are there?"
"Eighteen. I counted them."
As the wedding procession came in, several maids beside the procession said with a smile, "Let's get rid of the descendants and get naked."
As he spoke, he opened the basket in his hand, revealing the small silver coins inside, and threw them in all directions.
When the people around saw this, their eyes lit up.
Silver, this is silver.
The people came to their senses from their shock and immediately rushed to take it.
The wedding procession circled Jiayu Pass and then returned to the general's mansion.
Gu Jingzhi took Li Xi's hand and pulled her out of the carriage, and walked to the lobby and stood still.
Gu Changfeng and his wife sat at the top, Xiao Ze stood beside them. The three had different expressions in their eyes. Mrs. Feng had tears in her eyes, Gu Changfeng's eyes were filled with joy and relief, and Xiao Ze's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Gu Jingzhi in his groom's suit.
Although the three people had different expressions, their blessings to the newlyweds were the same.
"When the auspicious time comes, we should bow to heaven and earth."
As soon as I stood still, I heard the sound of chanting from the front, worshiping heaven and earth.
Gu Jingzhi took her hand, turned around and bowed to the heaven and earth.
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
"It's done!"
With the final word "The ceremony is over", Li Xi stood up.
Suddenly, she felt dazed. She was getting married.
In this strange world, she has a close partner.
……
Li Xi sat in the bridal chamber with a red veil on her head. When she looked down, she could only see her red wedding dress.
Listening to the noise outside.
She suddenly felt nervous.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a creaking sound from the door.
Li Xi heard footsteps, and a pair of black soap boots appeared in her lowered eyes.
Gu Jingzhi sent the old women and maids away from the room, took the weighing rod beside him and lifted Li Xi's veil.
Seeing her appearance clearly, Gu Jingzhi's eyes were filled with amazement. Li Xi was usually the laziest person and she never knew how to put on makeup or dress up. She just did whatever she felt comfortable with. But today she was different. Her makeup, hairstyle, and jewelry were all exquisite.
The whole person looks like a gorgeous peony flower.
"What? Are you stunned?" Li Xi said teasingly.
Gu Jingzhi came back to his senses, pulled Li Xi to the table and sat down, then took the wine glasses and poured two glasses of wine.
He handed a cup to Li Xi and picked up one for himself.
"Madam, it's time for a drink."
Li Xi took the wine glass and clinked hands with Gu Jingzhi.
After finishing the wine in the cup, Gu Jingzhi put down the cup and said, "Madam, you have been wearing it for a whole day. I will take off the phoenix crown on your head for you."
His proposal was approved by Li Xi. This phoenix crown is really heavy.
The phoenix crown and hairpins were taken off one by one, and Li Xi felt that her neck finally came back to life.
The noisy sounds outside faded away, and Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi sat side by side on the bed.
Gu Jingzhi took the scissors beside him and carefully cut a strand of hair from Li Xi's hair, and then cut a strand of hair from his own hair.
Carefully take the red rope and tie the two strands of hair together, making sure they are not yours or mine.
Li Xi lowered her head and looked at the movements of his hands.
After tying it up, Gu Jingzhi took the exquisite wooden box beside him, put it in, and then carefully closed it and put it away.
After putting it away, he held Li Xi's hand and looked into her eyes, "From now on, we will be husband and wife and love each other without doubt."
Li Xi smiled, "Okay."
She had never expected marriage, but if it was him, she was willing to give it a try.
Deep at night, they embrace each other like mandarin ducks, the brocade quilt flutters, and the red candle sheds tears.
The night is still very long.
The story between them will be slowly written by them in the future.
