Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan
Chapter 65 The Substitute Bride (Bonus Chapter 2)
Youth is in its prime tonight, the Weaver Girl in the heavens marries the Cowherd.
With skillful makeup, she is delicate and charming in her red dress.
Half pleased and half angry, she couldn't utter a sound; her delicate face was heavily covered by a white silk fan.
Heaven rewards the beautiful woman, allowing her to marry a talented and virtuous husband.
Although the wedding was to be held privately by the Guo family, without any banquet or public procession, Guo Likai was unwilling to make his wife feel uncomfortable.
Can't we host a banquet for guests?
It's alright, all our own servants are here as guests today.
Can't they go out to greet their bride in the street?
It's alright, our own backyard is the bride's home, we'll fetch the bride from the west wing to the east wing ourselves.
A lively wedding should be held even if there are no outsiders present.
I can't let my wife suffer!
Since the wedding is being held at home, the groom doesn't have to suffer at the main gate at the beginning. He can directly jump from the main gate and the main hall, which are usually difficult to navigate, to the second gate.
Although they skipped the main gate and the main hall, the maids guarding the second gate were already itching to torment the groom.
"Father, is there a need to be so serious?" Guo Likai looked at the group of maids led by his father guarding the door of the second room, and couldn't help but swallow hard at their posture.
To be honest, isn't the person standing at the very front, guarding the door of the second house, his own father?
Why would his own father lead a team to block the entrance? Why would his own father make things difficult for his son getting married?
"Of course we take important matters of life seriously," Guo's father replied confidently.
It was as if this Guo father wasn't surnamed Guo but Dong, and his iron-fisted, impartial attitude—where he wouldn't give face to anyone and demanded strict adherence to the rules—made Guo Likai's teeth ache.
I never expected that the biggest obstacle to getting married would be my own father, because he loved his daughter-in-law like his own daughter.
Guo Likai felt that he was rather superfluous in this family.
Guo Likai cried out, on the verge of tears, "No, Father, my own father! The one getting married is your own son! Have you got your identity wrong?"
Instead of answering Guo Likai's question, Guo's father struck the bottom of the table hard with the wooden stick he was holding.
The sound sent chills down Guo Likai's spine, even though he had been to the battlefield.
Guo's father was now as annoyed as if a pig was trying to steal his cabbage: "It's late at night, what do you want?"
Guo Likai glanced silently at the wooden stick in his father's hand, his lips twitching as he replied, "Having heard your eloquent words, I have come to seek your company. A beautiful and virtuous lady is the object of a gentleman's affections."
Father Guo nodded and said to the maids behind him who were holding wooden sticks, "My son-in-law is a dog of the woman's family, beat him to death without question!"
"No, Father, I'm your own son, not your son-in-law!"
Father Guo banged on a wooden stick and roared at the maids and servants, "Hurry up and beat them! Kill them all without question!"
The maids and servants swarmed forward, laughing and beating Guo Likai mercilessly.
Guo Likai could only dodge left and right, and beg for mercy with a forced smile.
"A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affection. Unable to obtain her, he longs for her day and night, tossing and turning in his bed in longing."
Seeing that the commotion was almost over, Guo's father waved his hand and picked up a wine cup, saying, "This wine is Shaoxing wine. I hope you will enjoy it and drink it, so that you may live a long and healthy life."
Thinking that his father wouldn't harm his son, Guo Likai readily accepted the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The second gate finally opened, and Guo Likai happily went inside, then quickly ran to the west wing.
But the bride is still getting her makeup done in the house!
Looking at the closed door, Guo Likai sighed helplessly. Getting married is such a hassle.
"What are you standing there for?" At this moment, Guo's father walked up behind Guo Likai, patted Guo Likai's shoulder and urged, "Hurry up and recite the poem to urge the bride out!"
"Huh? Dad, you're my dad again? Not my father-in-law this time?"
Mr. Guo glared at Guo Likai, annoyed. He couldn't scold him on such a joyous occasion, so he simply urged, "Hurry up! Can't you?"
"Oh, oh, oh, no." Guo Likai quickly shook his head.
Father, your identity changed so quickly that I didn't react in time.
"Beautiful flowers naturally bloom in the spring sunshine, without needing to be adorned with red makeup to mar their beauty. Peach blossoms naturally have their own lotus-like beauty, without needing to tarnish their appearance with cosmetics."
Guo's mother's voice came from behind the door again: "Not enough, not enough."
Guo Likai was speechless. His own parents were there, along with his parents-in-law. Who has ever experienced something like this?
Okay, okay! I'll spoil my own parents and my own wife.
"The jade water clock drips gently, the Milky Way is clear, the Magpie Bridge is newly built. May I ask if the bride is finished dressing? The eastern sky is about to be adorned with the glow of dawn."
As soon as he finished reading, Guo Likai leaned close to his father and whispered, "Dad, if my wife doesn't come out soon, we're counting on you."
Guo's father glared at Guo Likai, annoyed. "You good-for-nothing! You, you, you, you, you! Hurry up and help the young master!"
As soon as the master spoke, the group of servants who had been following Guo Likai immediately came out and shouted.
"New bride, hurry up and come out! New bride, hurry up and come out!"
Seeing that the commotion had been over, Guo's mother had the maid in the room help Dong Ping out of the room.
That concludes the ordeal at her "parents' home".
Since the bride was simply being transported from the west wing to the east wing, a wedding car was naturally unnecessary.
But the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, so what should be done?
Of course, there are countless methods, but Guo's father suggested that the groom carry the bride across.
Well, now he's the father-in-law again!
Dad, don't you feel any remorse for putting your son through all this trouble to get married?!
Although he was happy to carry his wife back to the new house, seeing his father's smug look, Guo Likai had some reservations...
Ah, no, he doesn't want anything.
Guo Likai banished his rebellious thoughts and carried Dong Ping into the new house.
Guo Likai had just sat Dong Ping down on the bedside when an older maid from the mansion led a group of maids in.
As the older maid directed the maids around her to spread out the curtains, she sang: "Tonight is an auspicious night, the daughter of the Dong family and the son of the Guo family are to be married. May the marriage last for a thousand years and bring them good fortune."
"Five sons and two daughters, with servants in tow. May all the sons become high-ranking officials, and all the daughters be betrothed to princes and dukes. From this day forward, may our lives be extended!"
After drinking the nuptial wine, the older maid tied the ends of Guo Likai and Dong Ping's hair together: "The knot comes from the heart, and a true knot is a true knot. Skillfully tied from the heart, it is given to the one who tied the heart."
Seeing that the maids and servants had finally all left, Guo Likai breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.
But when he saw that Guo's parents were still standing in the new house and hadn't left, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on when he thought about how they had tormented him today.
"Father, Mother, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"The bride hasn't removed her fan yet, has she? Son, quickly recite the poem about removing the fan, so we can see what the bride looks like!"
"..."
Is this really his biological father?!
By the way, don't you know what your daughter-in-law is like after seven or eight years?!
Is anyone sure their son is really their biological child, tormenting him like this on his wedding night?!
Don't you know that a moment of blissful intimacy is worth a thousand pieces of gold?!
