"I'll teach you a few moves. I guarantee you'll be able to subdue Lan Xun within three moves in the future."
Feng Linyuan said as he glanced at Mo Li. Mo Li quickly stepped forward in response. Sure enough, he only needed two moves to make Lan Xun beg for mercy again and again.
After the incident of attending to the sick last time, Bai Nianjin was most annoyed by his inability to protect his family. Therefore, in recent days, besides accompanying his elder sister who was about to get married, he secretly practiced martial arts.
Feng Linyuan knew that since he was going to marry Bai Zheng today, he had to first overcome the difficulties set by the brothers of the Bai family.
The Marquis of Dingyuan, who never fought unprepared battles, had thoroughly studied the preferences and weaknesses of the brothers from the Bai and Lin mansions before he came.
Now facing Bai Nianjin, he was naturally confident: "Give your brother - in - law some face today. Starting tomorrow, your brother - in - law will let Mo Li secretly teach you a few moves."
Bai Nianjin looked at Mo Li with admiration. Mo Li didn't even breathe heavily after defeating Lan Xun. This offer was really tempting for him.
"Do you mean what you say?" Bai Nianjin held out his palm.
"My word is as good as gold." Feng Linyuan slapped his palm in return.
"Slap!"
The two happily struck a deal.
Soon, with Feng Linyuan's efforts to break through one by one, the brothers from the Bai and Lin mansions quickly changed sides. They stepped aside and stood in two rows, almost enthusiastically welcoming Feng Linyuan into the mansion.
Feng Linyuan stood upright at the front of the wedding - welcoming procession.
The Prince Yi, who came with him to welcome the bride, and Song Yiqing, who had returned to his position, stood behind him. The brothers of the Bai family stood on both sides of the steps.
The groom had passed the difficult test, and everyone was quietly waiting for the wedding official to sing out.
"Open the door to welcome the bride!"
Under everyone's eager gazes, the great door of the Bai mansion finally slowly opened.
Bai Zheng appeared in front of everyone in a gorgeous phoenix - patterned wedding dress. Feng Linyuan stepped in with the silk cloth in his hand and stood quietly in the courtyard, his eyes full of that slender and magnificent figure.
Bai Zheng was supported by her two cousins and walked gracefully towards him. The clear ringing of the bells around her waist accompanied her steps.
It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.
It was also the sound that would make his heart fill with sweetness whenever he recalled it in the future.
"Take leave of one's parents!" the wedding official sang again.
Seeing Bai Yinan and his wife sitting in the seats of honor, but not seeing the figure of the old lady He of the Bai family, everyone realized something and began to whisper to each other.
"Why are only the relatives from the maternal grandfather's family outside Ningcheng here for the third young lady's wedding? No one from the General's Mansion came?"
"The great general has mobility problems, but couldn't the eldest young master come? It seems that the rumor is true. The two brothers of the Bai family have completely fallen out?"
"Even if the two brothers of the Bai family have fallen out, it's okay for the people from the General's Mansion not to come. But the old lady is the biological mother of the Minister Bai and the biological grandmother of the third young lady. If the grandmother doesn't come, isn't it slapping the face of the Bai mansion in public?"
The whispering voices grew louder and louder. Through the thick red veil, they reached Bai Zheng's ears.
Bai Zheng lowered her head. No one could see her expression through the veil, nor could they see her slightly furrowed eyebrows.
Of course, she didn't frown because He didn't come to see her off, but because -
"Zheng'er will always be big brother's sister... When Zheng'er gets married, I'll have to trouble big brother to come and see me off!"
The words she had said to Bai Nianyin still echoed in her ears. But now, Bai Nianyin didn't come?
Bai Zheng was a little confused.
He should have found out the truth about Bai Sheng's matter, and the misunderstanding towards her should have been completely cleared up. So, why didn't he, as her elder brother, come on her wedding day?
"Hurry up and take leave of your parents. Don't miss the auspicious time."
The smiling voice of the Prince Yi, Feng Linhuai, came over, drowning out everyone's whispers.
The wedding maid then came to her senses. She quickly ran to the bride's side and supported her to pay respects to Bai Yinan and his wife.
Bai Yinan was already heart - broken by what the General's Mansion and his mother had done today. He had sent people to invite them several times, but no one came.
Now hearing the comments from outside, Bai Yinan was even more upset.
On the contrary, Mrs. Lin was only concerned about her daughter. Seeing her daughter pay respects and take leave of her, her eyes immediately turned red. She stepped forward and patted Bai Zheng's back of the hand, and then admonished her again.
"After you go to the Marquis's Mansion in the future, it's not like being at home. You must restrain your temper and be gentle and generous. As a wife, you should take good care of the marquis. Bear with things when you can and regard your husband as the master."
Under other circumstances, hearing these words, Bai Zheng would surely argue with Mrs. Lin and express some ideas about gender equality.
However, now hearing Mrs. Lin's voice with a sob, Bai Zheng had completely lost the heart to argue. She just sighed and obediently nodded.
"Go out!"
The wedding official shouted loudly.
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly exploded. Bai Zheng no longer had anyone to support her, and for a moment, she didn't know where to go.
Her vision was completely red, and she couldn't see anything. She only heard continuous laughter from outside, and then a red silk cloth was placed in front of her.
"Zheng'er, don't be afraid. Just follow me."
The familiar and gentle voice came. It was a voice that she hadn't heard for a few days, and somehow, she had missed it very much.
Bai Zheng's heart suddenly calmed down.
Yes, with him around, she didn't need to be afraid of anything.
Bai Zheng followed Feng Linyuan step by step. Feng Linyuan walked slowly. Before stepping over the steps or small bumps, he would carefully remind her in a low voice.
Bai Zheng sat in the sedan chair with a smile on her face.
"The marquis really knows how to care for others. We don't need to worry anymore."
The old lady Lin stood in front of the door, looking at Bai Zheng's wedding sedan chair with tears in her eyes. She placed her hand on Mrs. Lin's back, whose emotions were becoming more and more unstable, and comforted her in a low voice.
Bai Yinan watched his beloved daughter for most of his life about to get married and leave home. He didn't even care about the messy things in the General's Mansion.
At this moment, he felt as if his precious treasure that he had cherished for many years had been snatched away. He only felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Zheng'er..." he said hoarsely.
The sound of gongs and drums was too loud. Bai Zheng sitting in the sedan chair didn't hear anything.
But Feng Linyuan, who was about to mount his horse, heard the voice. He stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked deeply at Bai Yinan and his wife.
"Father, Mother."
He naturally changed his address.
"Don't worry. I will treat Zheng'er well."
Bai Yinan slowly and solemnly nodded.
"The auspicious time has come. Let's go!"
The wedding official shouted. The eight - carried sedan chair left the ground.
The wedding - welcoming procession moved forward, and the bride's dowry was carried out of the mansion one by one and followed behind.
This was the most anticipated and lively part of the whole wedding banquet for those onlookers who couldn't attend the feast or see the bride's true face on the way - showing off the dowry.
It was seen that the people from the Bai mansion in red clothes carrying the dowry formed a long line, following the procession to see the bride off.
Everyone stared intently at the first load of dowry that had just been carried out.
