The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

People around joined in the fun and joking, especially Kang Ge'er, who brought a group of good friends, all wearing colorful clothes and singing and dancing.

This is the custom here, and the song is sung in Dongyang local slang, which basically means blessing the newlyweds.

The excitement dispelled the sadness. Ding Meishu was protected by Duan Jing'an as she watched this scene, her heart full of expectations for the future.

"Tonight is an auspicious night for the marriage of the daughter of the Ding family and the son of the Duan family. I wish them a long and prosperous marriage."

After the ceremony, Duan Jing'an was dragged out of the door. Everyone was determined to get the groom drunk.

When Duan Jing'an was being pulled away, he lowered his eyes and met Ding Meishu's gaze. There was a look in his eyes that reassured her. Ding Meishu shyly turned her eyes away and covered her face with her wedding fan.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the bride is shy, everyone, take the groom out!"

After all the commotion, only Ding Meishu and the maid who came with her as a dowry were left in the bridal chamber.

Suddenly it became quiet, and Ding Meishu felt empty inside.

Ignoring the discomfort in her heart, she looked around.

Thinking that this was the house where her future husband used to live, she felt her face getting very hot. She covered half of her face with a fan and looked around.

"Miss, everyone has left, you can take off your hairpins and crown. I will give you a lighter hairstyle, and the wedding gown is ready."

Ding Meishu moved over and took off the hair accessories after struggling for a long time.

When she came out again, her hair was tied up in a bun, fixed with two gold-threaded pearl flowers. The remaining half of her hair hung in front like clouds, making her look gentle as water.

She changed into a looser and simpler outfit, a dark green wide-sleeved shirt embroidered with gold thread, and underneath it was a red strapless long skirt embroidered with cloud patterns representing good luck.

"Miss, I'll go outside and get some food. Please eat a little. It may take a while for my uncle to come back."

After hearing Yiqin's words, Ding Meishu's face, which had just faded away, was quietly flushed with a hint of redness again.

She hadn't eaten anything all day, and her mother had secretly let her have a snack before she left, so her stomach was already empty.

But after thinking about it, I shook my head

"never mind"

As he was speaking, he heard a slight noise outside.

Yi Mo, who was standing at the door, leaned out to take a look and happened to meet two pairs of eyes.

Just as Sister Wei and Brother Xuan were about to go in, they saw the maid coming out of the room.

I guess this is my aunt's maid.

Yimo was Ding Meishu's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She had long remembered everyone in Duan Bo's mansion by heart. When she saw the age of these boys and girls, she guessed that they must be the children of the deceased third aunt who lived in the mansion.

"But Miss and Master?"

Yi Mo bowed respectfully and invited the person in.

Ding Meishu heard a noise in the house, and when she got up, she saw two siblings who looked like fairy children.

Ding Meishu had seen the two children at a banquet before, and she often made purses and other things to give to them.

"Sister Wei and Brother Xuan, why are you here?"

Ding Meishu was a little surprised. Logically, the two children should be playing at the banquet at this time.

When the two little guys entered the room, they handed the food boxes in their hands to Yi Mo. At this time, Xuan Ge'er felt a little shy and hid behind Wei Jie'er and watched.

Sister Wei saluted Ding Meishu generously.

"Aunt, my little brother and I have been asked by our grandmother to bring some food to you while we're having a feast outside."

Yi and Yiqun had already opened the food box and laid out the contents, which were all small bowls for one person.

"Why isn't there a servant with you?"

Seeing that there was no one behind the two of them, Ding Meishu asked with some concern.

"Grandma said she was worried that my aunt would feel uncomfortable with so many people around, so she sent the two of us here."

Ding Meishu was touched by the care and consideration she received.

"I'm sorry for all the trouble, mother. Thank you, Sister Wei and Brother Xuan."

Sister Wei pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, then pulled Brother Xuan and prepared to leave.

"The food has been delivered. Auntie, please have something to eat. My younger brother and I will be leaving first."

Ding Meishu asked them to stay and have something to eat together.

Sister Wei shook her head and refused, saying that they were waiting outside.

Ding Meishu sent the two children to the door and watched them leave before returning.

The food neatly arranged on the table is easy to digest and not too strong in flavor. If you are hungry all day, a couple of bites will make you feel better.

"Miss, the old lady is really considerate, not as the rumors say..."

The rumors about Duan Bo's Mansion in the capital recently were not very good. Yiqin finally breathed a sigh of relief after arriving at the mansion. The old lady was kind, the mistress was generous and steady, and the young masters were also well-behaved and smart.

"Stop talking too much. How can you trust what outsiders say? Don't say such things in the future."

Ding Meishu wiped the corner of her lips and reprimanded in a harsh tone.

Yiqun quickly apologized and Ding Meishu pulled her up.

"Alright, I know you're all doing this for my own good. But we're not at home now. Even though Mother and Sister-in-law are kind people, you still have to be careful with your words and actions and not be arrogant. If I find out that any of you don't know the importance of things, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship we grew up with."

Yiqin and Yimo expressed their loyalty, and Ding Meishu gave each of them an icy blue jade bracelet.

In the front yard, Duan Jing'an was being fed cup after cup of wine. Duan Jingzong watched helplessly from the side. He took a sip and his face turned red.

Knowing his health condition, everyone tried to persuade him not to drink alcohol.

"Nothing, my youngest brother is getting married today, I'm happy, so it's okay to have a little taste. I just hope you guys will forgive me for the poor hospitality. My youngest brother is still young, and today is an important day, so please forgive him."

Duan Jingzong blushed and bowed to everyone while panting slightly.

In front of this uncle, many people did not dare to act rashly. They agreed on the surface, but in fact they became even more accustomed to his behavior.

Just as some people had accumulated new and old grudges over the past few months, they had already taken their own hints and were determined to get the groom drunk today.

Kang Ge'er is already ten years old. Together with him are the young men from various mansions, and they are playing drinking games.

After one glass of wine, Kang Ge'er got drunk immediately. His face turned as red as a boiled shrimp and his eyes became round and bulging.

Those guys seemed to have discovered a new world and they all poured him wine.

They had already made it known beforehand that there was a wedding in their family today and no matter what, they should not be troubled. Kang Ge'er agreed.

Although there was fruit wine on my buddy's table, it would be intoxicating if you drank too much. The other guys couldn't drink much either, so they just went up and took turns drinking. If one was not enough, two would come up to make up for it.

Kang Ge'er looked like he couldn't hold his liquor, but he knew that he was actually sober, and even drank the wine like water.

He took the time to exchange a look with his fourth uncle who was also being forced to drink.

We are both fallen people from the end of the world.

"I'm not drunk, come again!"

The other brothers saw Kang Ge'er's dazed look and covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

A drunk person will claim that he is not drunk.
