Chapter 461: Chapter 301: Grand Wedding · Bridal Makeup Poem

Ran Yan was busy with her wedding preparations. Just the wedding dress alone took her seven to eight days, and then she had to learn various wedding rituals, the big clan’s rules, and even found time to study treatment plans for respiratory diseases. Her days were filled, and before she knew it, the season of peach blossoms in March had arrived.

In comparison, Xiao Song was much more pitiable. Because of his upcoming wedding, his residence was undergoing non-stop renovations day and night, forcing the Assistant Minister to temporarily move to his elder brother’s residence, living a life of dependence. The house took over a month to renovate but needed to sit for two more months, leaving Xiao Song unable to return home. Furthermore, just after the New Year, all the documents needing review had been processed before the holiday, and compared to the busyness of the Xiao Family, Zheng Family, and Ran Yan, the Assistant Minister found himself particularly idle, so much so that he felt time dragged by slow as years, and he almost couldn’t resist the urge to scale the walls of the Zheng residence.

Finally, on March 18, the peach blossoms of Chang’an City bloomed profusely, resembling mist and rosy clouds, with occasional willows swaying in the breeze. From Pingkang Square to Anxing Square, stretches of colorful silk hung, filled with joy.

The Clan of Ran had also arrived half a month earlier.

Shortly after noon, the entrance of the Zheng residence was already surrounded by a sea of people, eagerly stretching their necks as the auspicious time for the procession approached. They were not particularly interested in Gui Jianchou’s menacing appearance; instead, they were curious about the bride, and whether this bride would end up like the previous ones, dying suddenly on the way to her new home or inside her bridal chamber, even though such thoughts were somewhat inauspicious... but curiosity was indeed overwhelming!

"Here they come! The wedding procession is coming!" Someone shouted from afar, and the crowd immediately began to stir.

As the jubilant music grew closer, the wedding procession gradually came into view, but the next moment, everyone was stunned. On a white horse at the front of the procession was a gentleman in a deep scarlet round-necked official robe, with gold and silver floral designs embroidered along the sleeves, wearing a black belt with a white jade, and a black cap, looking majestic and distinguished. However, what surprised the crowd was not his handsomeness but the radiant smile on his face...

His features were stunning; when he usually did not smile, he carried an almost imperceptible menacing air, his eyebrows sharp as swords, his gaze piercing. Even his gentle smile carried an intimidating air, and ordinary folks rarely dared to look him directly in the eye. But at this moment, his dark eyes sparkled, and the smile that spread from the corners of his eyes softened his entire demeanor, radiant like sunlight, his handsome face eliciting quiet praise — so this was what the striking and noble Assistant Minister Xiao looked like!

At that moment, who knows how many hearts he charmed.

It was not simply that Xiao Song’s charm was irresistible, but that a man who typically arrested and executed others, suddenly showing a gentle and approachable side, was truly stunning.

The Zheng family’s luxurious bridal carriage was already stationed at the front gate, just waiting for the bride to emerge.

The gate of the Zheng residence was wide open, yet Zheng clansmen stood at the entrance wielding sticks and rods, blocking the gate, a so-called "blocking ceremony."

"Ho, what a beating, kudos to you brothers of the Zheng Family!" Liu Qingsong mischievously bowed to the Zheng clansmen and turned back to Xiao Song, waving his fist, "Do your best, Jiulang, I suddenly feel a bit of urgency, I must take my leave, it’s not that I’m not brotherly."

Xiao Song waved his hand impatiently; he didn’t really have any expectations for Liu Qingsong anyway, only thinking that when this stinky kid married Ran Yun, he would definitely find a hundred or so strong men to completely block the gate.

"Brother Chengmin, I’m here to marry Seventeenth Miss! Please allow me this favor." Even a worldly and smooth person like Xiao Song did not know quite what to say at that moment, so he spoke frankly.

Zheng Chengmin, the second son of Zheng Rentai, was not close to Ran Yan, but still, the blocking ceremony was a must, and it provided a perfect opportunity to "tease" Xiao Song, a chance that came once in a hundred years! So he gathered friends and relatives, ready to seriously play his part.

Leading the group, Zheng Chengmin, waving a large stick, laughed heartily, "My cousin has just married into her maternal family; we, her cousins, can’t bear to let her marry so soon. We must keep her for a few more days; come back next year!"

"After I marry her, I’ll make sure to visit often with her." Xiao Song said earnestly.

Before Zheng Chengmin could respond, the others shouted, "No way, no way!" One of them shouted, "A short visit won’t do. Unless, three days after your cousin comes home, you send her back to stay at the Zheng residence for half a year, under the broad daylight and the clear heavens, with all these fellow villagers as witnesses, you swear to heaven, then we brothers will let you in!"
