Seeing the prince-in-law coming, Qiuyue stood up quickly.
He stuttered a bit when he spoke: "Prince-in-law... Prince-in-law, you... you... are you here?"
Ma Dayuan smiled gently: "Don't be nervous, what's your name?"
"My name is Qiuyue. She is the princess's personal maid. I am with the princess right now. The other maids and nuns are still on the way."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ma Dayuan then said with a smile: "Miss Qiuyue, could you please bring the things over?"
"Oh, okay." Qiuyue reacted and hurriedly brought the tray over. .
There is something called a "weighing rod" in the tray, which is used to lift the bride's red hijab.
There are two "卺" cups on the plate, commonly known as combined 卺, which is made by breaking a 卺 into two halves, each containing wine, and the bride and groom each drink one 卺.
The melon is divided into two, which symbolizes that the couple was originally two bodies, and the thread connecting the handle symbolizes that the two people are connected into one by the wedding, so when they are divided, they become two, and when they are combined, they become one. .
Ma Dayuan held the weighing beam in his right hand and slowly lifted Princess Qingcheng's red hijab.
Princess Qingcheng's flowery face slowly appeared before her eyes.
Seeing this face up close makes people feel even more stunning. Even though Ma Dayuan has seen many beauties, he is still fascinated by the beauty in front of him.
Zhao Qingcheng was as beautiful as a peach blossom when he looked at her, and couldn't help but remind her softly: "Consort...consort."
"Well!" Ma Dayuan came back to his senses, picked up two cups from the plate, handed one over and said, "Princess, let's drink this cup together?"
Zhao Qingcheng had heard someone say in the palace that before the wedding ceremony, couples should drink Henan wine together.
He stood up and stretched out his delicate hand to take the wine glass.
The two stood facing each other, holding cups in their right hands and holding each other's left hands. They touched the cups lightly, crossed their arms, looked at each other with their eyes, and drank.
"Princess, can my slave help you remove your makeup?"
Ma Dayuan waved his hand: "Miss Qiuyue, you have worked hard too. You can go down and rest. Leave the princess to me!"
"this....."
Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then when she saw the princess nodding, she bent her knees and bowed: "That slave has resigned."
Zhao Qingcheng looked at the man who took off his headgear from the bronze mirror. The man looked attentive and careful.
As if he regarded himself as a rare treasure, Zhao Qingcheng's face became increasingly red...
"Princess...it's getting late, let's take a rest?"
Zhao Qingcheng nodded shyly, lowered his head and said softly: "Consort, there is no princess here, only Qingcheng."
Ma Dayuan smiled, feeling even more satisfied with this princess. She didn't have any airs of a princess at all... She was so approachable and so gentle and beautiful. She really found a treasure.
As the red curtain fell, the red bed shook, and a suppressed gasp gradually came from inside.
"Aha........"
The sound sounds like pain...like joy, like tenderness...like charm...
As the red wedding candle was about to end, Ma Dayuan called for water and washed the sleeping princess.
When the little girl Qiuyue saw her princess looking like this, she burst into tears of distress, and she mustered up the courage to say:
"Husband-in-law, the princess's body is delicate, please don't torment her anymore."
Ma Dayuan smiled bitterly, knowing that the little girl pitied her master and didn't want her to worry, so he said:
"Don't worry, this consort also knows how to show mercy to women." After saying that, Ma Dayuan hugged the princess and went to bed.
Qiuyue walked to the door and took a worried look before closing the door.
.............
The news of Ma Dayuan's marriage spread quickly throughout the world, even the entire Song Dynasty, as if it had wings! No matter whether they are people in the world or in the court, they all envy him!
A hundred miles away from Gusu City, the fat government servant vented his anger on Kang Min.
Before leaving, the man touched Kang Min's pretty face and sighed:
"You are a very beautiful woman. We brothers are so beautiful. I wonder who is more charming than you or the wives of the owner of the horse farm?"
Kang Min's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "Mazhuangzhu". He suppressed his physical discomfort, pulled the fat yamen servant and said coquettishly:
"Brother Yamen, you are so awesome. You almost spoiled me, but I like you so much. Do you want to take a break? I will help you rub your shoulders."
"You woman, you are really a born bitch. Well, come here and rub my uncle's shoulders." After the man finished speaking, he squeezed Kang Min's softness hard.
Kang Min was so painful that he almost shed tears. While squeezing his shoulders, he forced a smile and said, "Brother Yamen, who is the owner of the horse farm you just mentioned?"
The yamen servant saw that it was getting late and he was the last person, so he was not in a hurry. While enjoying Kang Min's service, he said:
"The owner of the horse farm that the uncle just mentioned is an extraordinary person. Some time ago, the owner of the horse farm had a big wedding and wanted to marry five beautiful ladies at once."
Kang Min's hand paused, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
The fat man was dissatisfied: "Why did you stop? Give me another squeeze. In the evening, I will find a way to add a piece of meat to you."
Kang Min endured the huge disappointment in his heart and asked while serving the man: "Did the owner of the horse farm really marry five wives?"
The fat yamen servant licked his plump lips and said enviously:
"The owner of the horse farm not only married five wives, but on the day of his wedding, he also received an imperial edict from the emperor to marry him to a princess.
That princess is called Princess Qingcheng and is known as the most beautiful woman in the world. She is really enviable by others. "
Kang Min felt his eyes go dark, and he fell heavily to the ground with a plop. . . . . .
。。。。。。
At the back of the village, Ma Dayuan, Yu Linglong, Yu Qingping, and Yu Butterfly looked at the neat houses in front of them.
"Husband, thank you for everything you have done for Yulingmen." Yu Qingping said excitedly.
"I also want to thank you. Not only did you avenge us, but you also found a good way out for our Yuling Sect."
Ma Dayuan smiled nonchalantly: "Senior Yu, you betrothed your two beloved disciples to this junior. In the eyes of this junior, what you have done for them... is insignificant."
The two women looked at their husbands affectionately, and Yu Linglong rolled her eyes and said:
"The business the Yuling Sect did before gave the sect a bad reputation. With my husband's current status, it is better to establish a new sect.
Husband, Master, Qingping, what do you think of Linglong’s proposal? "
Jade Butterfly nodded: "Linglong is right. With Dayuan's current status, it should be easy to establish a sect."
Ma Dayuan originally had this intention, and of course he readily agreed.
On that day, everyone discussed it in the meeting hall of Shenhe Village and everyone decided unanimously.
With Ma Dayuan as the sect leader, Xiao Feng as the deputy sect leader, Xiao Yuanshan, Yu Butterfly, and Wang Jianhua formed the elder group.
Just the name of this sect, everyone thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a result.
Xiao Yuanshan thought for a while, then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, he stood up and said:
"The name of our place is Shenhe Village. Why don't we choose the homophonic pronunciation of it? Let's call our sect the "Shanhe Sect". It means swallowing up the mountains and rivers. What do you think?"
"Shanhe Sect..."
After hearing this, everyone thought the name was acceptable. Everyone looked at the leader, Ma Dayuan, waiting for his decision.
"Okay, this is the name. From now on, this place will be... Shanhe Sect." Ma Dayuan made the final decision.
