Jiang Youzhi gazed at Yun Jiao and softly recited a poem about a wedding fan. Yun Jiao’s cheeks turned crimson and she removed the round fan from her face.
The room suddenly fell silent, and all the young ladies and wives held their breath.
Beautiful, so beautiful, it was the kind of stunning beauty that captivated the soul.
Jiang Youzhi was also entranced as he watched Yun Jiao.
Two blushes flew across her cheeks, the flawless red and white was more delicate than peach blossoms. She lowered her eyes, her thick lashes gently trembling, her usually pale pink lips were now a tempting red, like cherries enticing to be picked.
Jiang Youzhi’s eyes were glued to her face, unable to look away.
As everyone was dazed by the scene, suddenly a childish voice rang out, "Mom, I want this pretty bride."
This comnt made everyone in the room laugh.
The wedding maid smilingly handed over the wedding wine, the two cups tied with a red string. After Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi drank it, the wedding maid carefully plucked a strand of hair from each of them, then cut it, and soon braided it into a love knot, putting it into a red satin pouch.
Just as the wedding maid was about to place the pouch under the pillow, Jiang Youzhi took the pouch and tucked it into his bosom instead.
The won in the room all laughed.
After laughing, they felt a bit empty inside.
It seed that the Young Master loved the bride dearly, which was why he kept their love knot close to him.
Ling Wei stood in the crowd of won, biting her lower lip hard.
She rembered the pouch from her own wedding with Jiang Han, when the wedding maid tucked it under the pillow. Later, she hadn’t bothered with it. Perhaps the maids kept it.
Yun Jiao didn’t know the room was laughing about the pouch; she only knew they were laughing at her and Jiang Youzhi.
Her face turned even redder with embarrassnt.
At this mont, one of Jiang Youzhi’s aunts clapped her hands, "Alright, alright, everyone has seen the bride. Let’s head out for the feast!"
The crowd giggled and moved outside, Mrs. Chen lingered at the back, smilingly wished Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao, "May you two bind your hearts together and have a long and happy union."
Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi both stood up to bow, "Thank you, Ma’am."
Mrs. Chen smiled and left.
The bridal chamber beca completely quiet.
Seeing everyone had left, Yun Jiao quickly moved her neck around, and Jiang Youzhi got up, "Is the phoenix crown pressing your neck?" He said while carefully taking the phoenix crown off her.
As the phoenix crown was removed, Yun Jiao felt her head suddenly lighten.
Jiang Youzhi placed the phoenix crown safely, "I’ll go show my face, and I’ll be back soon to eat with you."
Yun Jiao said amusingly, "Don’t you have to toast to the guests?"
Jiang Youzhi glanced at the door, and suddenly pecked Yun Jiao’s lips, chuckling, "No need, I’ve already arranged with Father to handle the toasting."
Yun Jiao touched her lips, slightly shy, and said, "Go on, call Hui Xiang and Cai Ping in, I want to wash my face."
The hairdressing lady used lead powder on her, leaving her face snow-white, which surely was harmful to health. For Jiang Youzhi’s health, she thought it better to wash it off later.
Jiang Youzhi left.
Hui Xiang and Cai Ping ca in quickly, and soon they brought hot water. Yun Jiao washed her face and removed all the jewelry from her head.
Before long, two matrons outside ca in carrying food boxes, Hui Xiang and Cai Ping helped set up the al, and Jiang Youzhi ca in.
He was dressed in red, with a slight blush on his cheeks, seeming like he had just drunk wine.
Upon entering, he waved the maids off. When the door closed, Jiang Youzhi sat at the table and pulled Yun Jiao into his arms with one motion.
