Gu Taohua was still drowsy when she put on her wedding dress with the help of her two sisters-in-law Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e. After walking out of the bedroom, her sleepiness completely disappeared amidst the praises of everyone.

Liu Yue'e held the mirror in front of Gu Taohua's eyes and said, "Sister, look how beautiful you are today."

A beautiful face appeared in the mirror.

Many female relatives from the guests' families crowded into Gu Taohua's boudoir, looking at her together and admiring her.

Even though Gu Taohua was usually outgoing, she was still a young girl about to get married. She blushed when she heard everyone's praise.

"You know what, Shopkeeper Tong has a good eye. The bridal makeup she did according to her specifications is really beautiful." The bridesmaid said with a smile, "Next time someone's daughter gets married and invites me over, I'll do it the same way."

Gu Honglian said, "That's because peach blossoms are beautiful in their own right."

Gu Taohua looked at Tong Huaqiong and called out "Mom".

Tong Huaqiong walked over and looked at it carefully, then said, "It is indeed very beautiful."

A blush appeared on Gu Taohua's face, and the pearl hairpin on her head hung down, emitting a dazzling light, which made her look even more like a fairy.

"Mom, you're crying."

Gu Taohua felt sad when she saw Tong Huaqiong's eyes wet with tears.

She didn't marry far away. Her house was only two streets away from her parents' home. She could go back to her parents' home at any time.

I didn't feel anything at first, but when I was about to leave, I realized that I was getting married. The reluctance to leave Tong Huaqiong was greater than the joy of marrying my sweetheart, and there seemed to be a void in my heart.

Gu Taohua's eyes turned red instantly.

The lively boudoir was filled with sadness.

Chen Sufen, Lu Zhaozhao and others were all experienced people, and they were sad at this moment. They had been with Gu Taohua for so long, and they were really reluctant to see their sister-in-law get married.

Even Liu Yue'e, who had always been worried that Gu Taohua would not get married, couldn't help but cry.

"Taohua has married well. She doesn't have a mother-in-law to pressure her. She can make her own decisions on everything. She can go out when she wants to and do business when she wants to. Chengmin is also promising. This marriage couldn't be better." Zhao said.

"A daughter will eventually get married, and Taohua is not like us who get married blindly. She can marry Chengmin and live happily with him. If she gives birth to a fat boy in the future, her life will be complete." The second aunt of the Gu family continued.

"Please hold back your tears on this happy day."

"The future will be good."

......

Everyone spoke out to persuade him.

This set of procedures is very familiar. At least everyone here has participated in a girl's wedding. Sadness and grief are almost the common moods of every bride before leaving home.

Tong Huaqiong wiped the corners of Gu Taohua's eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Be happy on this happy day. Have a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach first."

Su Qing brought a bowl of noodles and Gu Taohua ate it while it was hot.

I got up early in the morning to prepare and I was really hungry.

There was a bustling noise outside, Su Chengmin came to pick up the bride.

Everyone in the room rushed out to watch the fun, leaving only Chen Sufen, Lu Zhaozhao, Liu Yue'e and other family members in the room.

Tong Huaqiong took this opportunity to grab Gu Taohua's hand and said, "Taohua, remember, this will always be your home. When you come back, you are not going back to your mother's home, but to your own home."

"In marriage, you need to be understanding and tolerant of each other, but you can't compromise yourself. Don't listen to the nonsense about marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog. You are yourself."

"Don't believe that women who don't give birth to sons are inferior to men, and that men can do whatever they want. Men in our family don't take concubines, and our sons-in-law are not allowed to take concubines either."

"Mom hopes that you and Chengmin will live happily together forever, but she also hopes that you can live according to your own wishes."

Tong Huaqiong said these words many times.

Before Gu Taohua left, Tong Huaqiong reminded her again.

Every time she said something, Gu Taohua agreed solemnly.

"The groom is here."

"My uncle is here."

Maner, Duoer and several other children ran in smiling.

The sound of suona and firecrackers was heard outside.

Su Chengmin appeared in a wedding dress.

There was a commotion outside. Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe were testing Su Chengmin with the children of the Gu family.

Gu Dahan said from the side: "Don't go too far, don't go too far."

Fortunately, Su Chengmin accepted the test.

"My son-in-law looks really handsome after cleaning himself up."

Second Aunt Gu took a glance through the window and was truly amazed by Su Chengmin's imposing appearance.

She only knew that Gu Taohua said she gave it to Lai Fu. After Lai Fu regained his identity as Su Chengmin, he had never seen Gu's second aunt once, so she was shocked when she saw it.

Hearing that Su Chengmin was the son of a minister, the nephew of a mighty general, and now a member of the imperial guard, the second aunt of the Gu family agreed with Gu Taohua's suggestion of a good marriage.

"I received a letter saying that Taohua and the leader of the Imperial Guards got married. My eldest brother and his wife still don't believe it. I think we should let them come and open their eyes." The second aunt of the Gu family said to Tong Huaqiong with a look of regret.

When Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Jingzhe to write a letter to the clan, inviting Gu's second uncle and aunt, as well as the village chief and others to go to Beijing to see Gu Taohua off to get married, she did not suggest that Grandpa Gu and Old Lady Gu come to Beijing together.

The two of them cursed Tong Huaqiong for being unfilial and fabricated faults against Gu Taohua in the village.

Of course, Gu Taohua’s happy event doesn’t need them to add icing on the cake.

The auspicious time has arrived.

Tong Huaqiong put the veil on Gu Taohua's head and said blessings according to custom.

Gu Taohua's face was covered by the veil, and nothing could be seen except her toes.

Tong Huaqiong's gentle and detailed exhortations filled my ears, and I felt so reluctant to let her go that I was about to cry.

"Mom, my daughter has gone out." Gu Taohua choked.

Tong Huaqiong was also reluctant.

At this time, a pair of warm big hands held Gu Taohua.

Gu Taohua's heart calmed down instantly.

Su Chengmin held Gu Taohua's hand and walked step by step from the boudoir to the yard, and then from the yard to the sedan chair.

Laughter, suona, firecrackers... Gu Taohua could only hear these sounds, and all she saw was a sea of ​​red. From the moment she sat in the bridal sedan, she felt that everything was unreal.

From Qinghe Bay to Yanguan Town, she walked step by step to Shengjing, from the second in command of the Tong family business to marrying the most popular commander of the imperial guards in Shengjing.

More importantly, Su Chengmin was her own choice and she liked him.

Gu Taohua's dowry covered half the street, which surprised Shengjing. The dowry Tong Huaqiong gave to Gu Taohua was in no way inferior to that of Lu Zhaozhao.

Tong Huaqiong stood at the door and watched the wedding procession go away before returning home with red eyes.

The son and daughter-in-law went to see the bride off, and Manager He helped to manage the banquet inside and out.

When Shopkeeper Tong married off his daughter, the banquet was of the highest standard.

After the meal started, a row of beggars squatted at the foot of the wall.

According to the custom of Dasheng Wedding, the host family will not drive away beggars who come to ask for leftovers at weddings or funerals.

Instead, they hope that as many beggars as possible will come, which will demonstrate the sumptuousness of the host's banquet and the host's kindness.

The banquet at Tong Huaqiong's house lasted for three days, and many beggars came in the first two days.

Tong Huaqiong was very generous. Apart from not inviting beggars to sit at the table, she also provided plenty of steamed buns, meat and vegetables.

Beggars from all over the city came rushing in, so there were more beggars on the main day than on the previous two days.

One of the younger beggars squatted at the foot of the wall, looking at the wedding procession going away, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
