How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Bai Wuxia nudged Mo Qingmei, pointed at Xia Chu, and smiled teasingly with her hands covering her lips. Mo Qingmei patted her lightly and laughed too.

Li Yun leaned gently against Lin Lang, and they both laughed.

Xia Chu spun around several times. Dong Xiaohuan, who was originally a little sad, was amused and angry at her. She had thought Xia Chu was getting more upset, after all, she had never seen her so nervous before.

Unfortunately, Jia Qingwu couldn't see this. Thinking of this, her smile faded a little. She felt that this couldn't happen. If she missed such a big day, Sister Qingwu would probably regret it for the rest of her life. She had already missed so much, how could she add to her regrets because of such a small thing?

She clenched her fists and pulled Xia Chu to a corner. "Xiao Chu, do you know why your mother Qing Wu is not here?"

"Ah?" Xia Chu's anxiety was interrupted, and her eyes fixed, "What's the reason?"

"Hey," Dong Xiaohuan brushed back the fringe on her head, "She feels unhappy in her marriage and is afraid of affecting you, so she doesn't dare to come in."

Xia Chu frowned, "What impact does this have? It's not her fault, and I don't care about it."

"I told her the same thing, but as a parent, she wouldn't dare take the gamble even if there was even the slightest possibility." Dong Xiaohuan felt that if it were her, she probably wouldn't dare take the gamble either. "But she missed your growth, and now is your wedding day. If she doesn't see your bridal makeup and can't see you off here, she will definitely regret it in the future."

The wedding procession had already passed the second gate and heard that they were about to arrive. She said anxiously: "Mom! Go and tell Zhao Huazhang to come slower." As she spoke, she whispered to the Jia sisters.

Zhao Huazhang heard this and immediately stopped his brothers. He said with a smile, "My mother-in-law said everyone has been busy all day and prepared some food. Brothers, fill your stomachs and continue to challenge the level."

Of course, none of his brothers were stupid. They knew immediately that something might be wrong with the bride. They all smiled and agreed, saying they were hungry.

Jia Qingwu watched from the next room, unsure of what was going on. Normally, people would eat after picking up the bride, then head to the groom's house. But they hadn't even picked up the bride yet, and they were already eating. Just as she was about to go out and ask, she saw Jia Wanlin and her sister come in. Without a word, they each grabbed her hand and led her back to Xia Chu's room.

"Where are you going?" Before Jia Qingwu could react, she had already reached Xia Chu's door. Any further tug-of-war would have been a joke. With tears in her eyes, she obeyed and went in, only to see her daughter beaming with joy.

She rarely wore makeup, but her features were already beautiful, and makeup enhanced them even more, making her look even more gorgeous than usual. Add to that the exquisite jewelry and bright wedding dress, and she looked incredibly bright and stunning.

"Mom, do I look good?" Xia Chuping raised his arms and slowly turned around.

"It looks good, it looks good..." Jia Qingwu covered her mouth and tears fell.

"A girl who is getting married is still looking for her mother to act like a spoiled child."

"Mrs. Jia, it's too early for you to cry. The wedding procession hasn't even arrived yet."

"Beautiful, beautiful! Aren't you the most beautiful bride in Lin'an today?"

"I've been a full-fledged wife and have seen so many brides, but the Wang family's wife is one of the best looking."

The people in the room didn't know what was going on and just smiled, joked and praised.

After Zhao Huazhang and his group finished their meal, they gathered outside the bride's boudoir again.

Bai Wuxia stood at the doorway, holding a wooden sword, and said with a smile, "I've heard that Master Zhao is an unparalleled martial artist. My martial arts skills are average, so I shouldn't show off my prowess before an expert. But today is my sister's wedding, and I can't let you go easily. I dare to ask Master Zhao, do you dare let me use my two hands to dodge twenty of my moves?"

The bridesmaids immediately started to jeer, saying this was unfair. Zhao Huazhang raised his hand to silence their noise, and put his hands behind his back, "Please."

Bai Wuxia smiled brightly and rushed forward with a knife in hand. Zhao Huazhang kept his hands behind his back and dodged easily.

"Alright!" Bai Wuxia threw away the wooden sword and said sternly, "I admire your martial arts skills, young master. I hope you can use them to protect my Xia Chu in the future. If there are any conflicts, please remember to put your hands behind your back and talk things over."

Zhao Huazhang's face turned serious, and he said with a stern hand, "Of course."

After Bai Wuxia passed this test, Li Yun helped to write a few poems to express her 'difficulty'. They all knew that the young master of the Zhao family loved martial arts and not literature, so his poems were simple and common.

As each level passes, it reminds the groom to treat the bride well.

Zhao Huazhang didn't show any impatience at all and listened attentively.

Jia Qingwu personally put a red veil on Xia Chu's head. "After you get married, you are adults. Suspicion and distrust are the worst thing a couple can do. No matter what the matter is, you should clarify it on the same day if you can. Don't keep it in your heart. When you get to the Zhao family, you must be filial to your parents-in-law, respect the elders, and love the younger ones. From now on, the elders at home can no longer accompany you, so you must live a good life on your own."

"My daughter understands." Xia Chu knelt down and bowed, her eyes filled with tears.

Zhao Huazhang was finally let in, and the elders in the room said some words to support Xia Chu.

At this time, the other members of the Wang family stood at the door, including Wang Yong.

The matchmaker said he knelt down to thank his parents for raising him. Zhao Huazhang pushed away the mat in front of him and knelt down respectfully.

Dong Xiaohuan covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her face. Wang Yong's eyes also turned red, and he hugged his wife's shoulders.

Jia Qingwu leaned against her sister-in-law and cried silently.

Guan Xu walked out silently and squatted in front of Xia Chu, "Xiao Chu, brother will take you out."

Xia Chu lay on Guan Xu's back. She obviously didn't want to cry, but her tears fell uncontrollably on her third brother's shoulders.

Only when she got on the sedan chair did she wipe away her tears and put her hands on the curtains, but she couldn't lift them.

She heard the suppressed cries of Dong Xiaohuan and Jia Qingwu, as well as Wang Qiuyu crying and shouting that he didn't want his sister to get married, and Da An and Xiao An barking beside the sedan chair. The tears she had just held back burst out again.

Even after the sedan chair was lifted up and walked a long way, the cries of An and An could still be heard.

They had been locked up in the donkey shed early in the morning, and no one knew who had let them out. They seemed to have caught the Wang family's attention and ran after the wedding procession for a long distance before being pulled back by Guan Xu and Wang Yong.

With music and dancing all the way, they finally arrived at Zhao's house.

The matchmaker yelled at the groom to kick the sedan door, but Zhao Huazhang ignored her and tapped lightly with his hand. Xia Chu, remembering the routine, responded by kicking the sedan door. Little did she know, Zhao Huazhang didn't kick. The meaning of these two actions was that the man wasn't afraid of his wife, and the woman wasn't showing weakness.

Next, the groom has to knock on the top of the sedan chair three times with a fan and then kick the sedan door three times, representing the groom's majesty.

Zhao Huazhang was unwilling and signaled Madam Quanfu to take Xia Chu out of the sedan chair.

"This, this is against the rules." The matchmaker whispered.

"The groom is henpecked before the bride even enters the house?" someone joked.

"Yes, I am henpecked." Zhao Huazhang said frankly.

He was so frank that everyone else was stunned and couldn't make fun of him anymore.
