Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 265: Husband and Wife

Next day.

Finally it was the big day and everyone was up very early.

Lin Xuan Qi had a quick bite, washed up and changed into his groom’s red wedding robe, the first thing in the morning.

His headdress was a black Futou, ornate with some gold embroidery.

Never before in the Da Qian Dynasty had he been dressed so formally.

Madam Sai knocked on his doors and said, "Master Lin, are you ready, it’s the auspicious time soon.

"Master Sima Ye, Sima Long and Mistress Zhang Jie are already here with the other guests."

He was glad when he heard that they’d arrived.

And especially at the good news that Zhang Jie was healthy enough to attend the wedding.

The pills from Lu Ting must have helped a lot with her healing.

Lin Xuan Qi turned towards the doors and replied, "I’m done and ready."

When the doors opened wide, Madam Sai scanned him from head to toe and covered her mouth with her handkerchief.

"You look great today, Master Lin." She shook her head and said, "If only I was born thirty years later..."

Lin Xuan Qi could only give her an awkward smile.

But it was no time to dwell on it.

They hurriedly got out of the wooden gates of the mansion to be in time for the auspicious time.

Outside, not too far away from the mansion, at the end of the street, the horse carriage was now decorated with the red auspicious cuttings of the characters double happiness.

Standing in two lines behind the horse carriage were servants who carried the items that Lin Xuan Qi had purchased yesterday.

He got onto the horse carriage, with Madam Sai standing outside of the horse carriage.

She tilted her head with her ears held higher, and waited for the signal.

And after a few moments, she heard what she wanted.

Gong!

It was the gong from the watchman, signaling to her that it was the auspicious time.

She waved her handkerchief in the air and shouted, "It’s time to fetch the brides!"

Whip.

The coachman cracked his whip and the horses began to move slowly towards the gates of the mansion.

When the horse carriage arrived, Madam Sai started to shout, "Open the door for the groom.

"Open the door to welcome wealth and prosperity, and may you be blessed with a noble child early."

The servants who were ready at the wooden gates opened it and Lin Xuan Qi got out from the horse carriage.

He could see Sima Ye, Sima Long, Zhang Jie and others like Hun Xiong Kun standing by the side of the wooden gates waiting for him with huge smiles on their faces.

After giving them a nod, the servants behind the horse carriage brought the wooden chests with the items into the mansion.

Lin Xuan Qi followed them into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Xue Cong’s parents, Old Shao and Mei Jiao were dressed in their best looking clothes and sat in two chairs in the middle.

Ah Di stood by the side of them looking on at what was happening.

The servants carrying the wooden chests placed them onto the ground of the main hall to the side of them and opened the wooden chests.

"Gifts from the groom for the bride’s parents." Madam Sai waved her handkerchief and shouted.

"May you be blessed and be willing to let the groom be with the bride."

Old Shao glanced at Mei Jiao and Mei Jiao’s eyes welled up with tears.

She couldn’t believe that this was it and her daughter would be someone’s wife soon.

They nodded their heads at each other and Madam Sai gave out a huge smile, and said, "Time for the groom to see the bride!"

...

Xue Cong who was inside her room was anxious the whole morning.

But she sat on the bed and dared not move very much.

Afraid that she would mess up the wedding dress.

"Mistress Xue Cong, it’s time for you to be at the main hall."

When she heard her trusted servant girl Xiu’s voice, she quickly draped the silk head scarf over her head and over her shoulders.

Xiu opened the doors of her room and helped her up from the bed.

They walked towards the main hall with Xue Cong’s heart beating faster and faster as they approached.

When she arrived, Madam Sai shouted, "The bride has arrived and it’s time to offer prayers for the heavens and offer respect to the elders."

Xue Cong stood beside Lin Xuan Qi and both of them were passed three sticks of incense that were lit up.

They turned around facing the entrance of the main hall and they bowed three times with the incense in their hands to the heavens.

After that, they put the incense into an incense urn that was at the middle of the main hall with offerings like fruits and poultry in the front.

Then, they knelt and offered tea to the parents of Xue Cong.

They happily accepted the tea and took a sip from the teacup symbolically.

"Here, a little token of appreciation." Old Shao took out a carving he had made with his own hands that was a peach with a young child around it and surrounded by silver and gold.

It was an auspicious symbol for having many children.

"Thanks, father." Lin Xuan Qi said and kept the gift from his father-in-law.

Old Shao and Mei Jiao smiled happily at him and they got up to let Sima Ye take over.

Sima Ye sat in one of the seats in the capacity of the elder for Lin Xuan Qi.

Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi offered him tea and he nodded his head with a huge smile.

He also reached into his sleeve pocket and took out two jade pendants.

"It’s nothing much, it can protect you from harm when you are in danger."

Lin Xuan Qi figured that it must be some form of Artifact that didn’t require Spirit Qi to be activated.

"Thanks so much." He quickly thanked Sima Ye and kept the jade pendants.

Sima Ye who had just come back from the Qing Feng Sect was happy and gave out a burst of laughter.

He was grateful for what Lin Xuan Qi did for Sima Long and Zhang Jie when he was away and two jade pendants that offered protection were worthy of Lin Xuan Qi’s help.

"I declare you husband and wife!" Madam Sai proclaimed loudly and everyone gave out a loud cheer.
