New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies
Chapter 384 I'll bring you all back to my parents' home
In the magnificent Prince Yu's mansion, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, just because Qing'er was going to get married today. The whole mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, bright red silk fluttered in the wind, and large and small wedding characters were posted everywhere, especially the exquisite red lanterns, which illuminated the whole mansion as bright as day.
At this moment, Hongzhan was sitting in the main hall, quietly waiting for his daughter to come and say goodbye to him. The constant noise coming from the yard made his mood more complicated. On the one hand, he was looking forward to seeing his daughter wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and looking radiant; on the other hand, deep in his heart, he really didn't want to see his precious daughter, whom he had raised with great difficulty for many years, being "kidnapped" by others so easily.
This conflicting emotion intertwined, making Hongzhan feel mixed emotions, but also helpless. He turned to look at his wife who was sitting next to him, and saw that she also had a sad face, and her eyes were full of deep attachment and reluctance to her daughter who was about to leave home. So, Hongzhan couldn't help but reach out his hand and hold his wife's hand tightly, trying to give her a little comfort. After all, compared to himself, his wife must be more reluctant to let her daughter get married.
Yun Qingwan felt the warmth from her husband's palm and slowly turned around. After carefully dressing up, her naturally beautiful face looked even more charming and beautiful.
Under those curved willow-leaf eyebrows, there was a pair of big, watery eyes as clear as autumn water. However, at this moment, these beautiful eyes were slightly red, and crystal tears kept spinning in their eye sockets, as if they could roll down at any time.
Although she was also filled with reluctance, Yun Qingwan felt a little relieved when she thought that the Xiao Mansion where her son-in-law Xiao Feng lived was not far from her home, and the courtyard they purchased was also adjacent to Prince Yu's Mansion. In this way, even after her daughter got married, she would be able to visit her parents' home often.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the door. People were talking happily, and there were bursts of shouting from time to time. The noisy sound came from far away and soon, Xiao Feng walked into the main hall with beautiful Qing'er in his arms. He carefully put Qing'er on the ground, and then the two stood side by side in the center of the main hall.
Xiao Feng gently supported his beloved wife beside him, his eyes firm and full of love. Then, they both knelt on the ground, their movements in unison. Xiao Feng lifted the hem of his robe without hesitation, and together with Qing'er, they respectfully knelt and bowed to the two old men sitting above to bid farewell to the elders.
Qing'er felt mixed emotions at this moment, because she knew very well that the people sitting in front of her were her father and mother who had loved her for many years. As long as she thought that today was the day she was getting married, and from now on returning here would only be considered returning to her parents' home rather than returning home, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.
There is a saying among the people: "A daughter who is married off is like water that has been poured out." Although Qing'er did not believe this saying, when this moment really came, she couldn't avoid feeling a little lost and uneasy deep in her heart.
She knelt quietly on the cold ground, the delicate red veil covering her face tightly, and also hiding her tears. She held back her tears and tried to keep her voice steady, but in the end, all she said was a simple sentence: "Father, mother..."
The slightly choked voice was like an electric current that struck the hearts of Hongzhan and Yun Qingwan, who were sitting in the upper seat, and made them feel a sharp pain in their hearts. Their eyes were red and tears were rolling in their eyes. They responded in unison: "Father, mother is here, here!"
Xiao Feng, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but tremble when he heard his wife's tearful words. He knew very well how reluctant his wife was at the moment, so he stretched out his big, warm hand without hesitation, gently wrapped his wife's hand, which was trembling slightly due to nervousness, and tried to give her some comfort and strength.
Then, Xiao Feng took a deep breath, straightened his body, looked straight ahead firmly, and then respectfully promised the elders sitting above: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please accept my greetings!
Xiao Feng is fortunate to marry Qing'er today. This is a good marriage bestowed by God. From now on, I will treat Qing'er wholeheartedly and never let her suffer the slightest grievance, let alone let her down in the slightest! If Qing'er is homesick in the future and wants to return home to live for a while, I will fully support her. Moreover, I might even shamelessly follow her and eat and live with her for a while. I just hope that my father and mother will not dislike Feng'er!"
After saying this, Xiao Feng shyly raised his head and looked at the two elders sitting in the seats. However, it was these simple yet heartfelt words that were like a spring breeze that blew away the sadness of parting that permeated the moment, and instantly turned the originally solemn and sad atmosphere into a sea of laughter. The guests present were all moved by Xiao Feng's frankness and couldn't help but burst into good-natured laughter.
Qing'er's face, which was full of sorrow just now, now bloomed into a smile as brilliant as a spring flower, and it was obvious that she couldn't help laughing at what she said. However, Hongzhan and another person who were sitting in the upper seat keenly grasped the deep meaning of these words.
It turns out that these words were meant to comfort Qing'er, but in fact, the message they conveyed was: as long as Qing'er wanted, she could return to her parents' home as she pleased. Moreover, they not only did not mind it, but also would never gossip or spread rumors behind her back. Without a doubt, this was a solid guarantee for Qing'er.
You know, in this era, once a woman gets married and moves into her husband's family, she rarely returns to her parents' home. The reason is that if she returns home too often, not only her husband may be dissatisfied, but even her in-laws may complain. This phenomenon has become a customary practice, so many brides can only silently endure the pain of separation from their loved ones even if they miss their hometown very much.
At this time, Xiaoyanzi, a lively and smart girl, as Qing'er's sister-in-law, had just witnessed Qing'er crying because she was reluctant to leave home. After a little thought, she couldn't hold back her inner impulse and agreed, "That's right! My brother is right! As long as our Qing'er wants to come back, she can come back anytime and anywhere! Our Xiao family doesn't have so many red tapes and old rules! If someone dares to talk nonsense behind her back, I, Huanzhu Gege, will never let him off easily!"
As soon as Xiaoyanzi finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter at her frank and lovely words. Yes, even Xiaoyanzi, the beloved Huanzhu Princess, expressed her support for Qing'er, so who else would dare to say anything bad about Qing'er?
Qing'er couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard what everyone said. The clear and pleasant laughter was like a spring breeze blowing through people's hearts. The reluctance that had been tightly entangled in her heart disappeared without a trace like smoke at this moment. She only laughed coquettishly, and then said with her red lips: "Okay, if I can really go home, I must take all of you with me. Humph, let's see if those gossipers dare to gossip about me again!"
