Tidas's Wedding
Tidas and the Shen family had agreed on the time of the betrothal.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the betrothal gifts arrived.
Tidas was wearing a light blue robe with a round neck and a jade-like hair crown. His long black hair was tied up into a ball, and he was as gentle as jade. His lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was elegant.
He rode on a black horse and headed towards the Shen residence. Behind him were carriages carrying boxes of betrothal gifts.
Along the way, he attracted countless gazes.
"What a handsome young master!"
"Whose young master is this? He's so handsome."
...
The young girl in love on the road screamed crazily and shook the handkerchief in her hand at Tidas with a dazed expression.
"Giddyup!"
Tidas whipped his horse and galloped towards the Shen family.
Shen residence.
The betrothal gifts were sent into the residence, and Tidas was welcomed into the hall.
Shen Wansan sat on the throne with a gentle smile on his face.
"Nephew, after meeting you today, you are indeed extraordinary. No wonder my Rong 'er would not marry anyone but you.”
he said with a smile.
Tidas's outstanding appearance made Shen Wansan very satisfied.
Although Tidas's official position was small and his family background was ordinary, his appearance was very compatible with his Rong 'er.
"Hmph, so what if he's handsome? Men aren't prostitutes who need to rely on their looks to make a living.”
A strange voice came from the side.
Shen Jin's face was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Jin 'er!"
Shen Wansan pulled a long face and scolded.
Shen Jin crossed his arms and turned his face away.
"I'm sorry, nephew. I've spoiled my son in the past, that's why he's so rude.”
Shen Wansan looked apologetic.
Tidas saw this scene.
It seemed that his future brother-in-law was a little dissatisfied with his brother-in-law.
He did not care.
After all, he was marrying Shen Rong, not his future brother-in-law.
Moreover, if Shen Jin still did not know what was good for him in the future, Tidas would have plenty of time to deal with him.
Tidas exchanged a few pleasantries with Shen Wansan and left after giving the betrothal gifts.
......
Crack crack crack crack
The festive sound of firecrackers rang out, and white smoke filled the air.
The Ye Residence was in a festive mood.
The bridal procession blew their trumpets and carried the bridal sedan back to the Ye residence, preparing to get married.
The Shen family's group also arrived at Tidas's house.
Tidas was only a fifth-grade official. The area of his residence was relatively small, and the decoration of the residence was relatively simple.
After all, with the salary of a Ming Dynasty official.
It was already very good that Tidas could afford to raise servants. There was no such luxury as decorating the mansion.
Shen Jin sized up the Ye residence with a face full of disdain.
"These furniture are all ordinary wooden furniture. The hall is filled with shabby ordinary calligraphy and paintings. There isn't even a famous scholar's calligraphy and painting.”
"Isn't this Tidas too poor?”
Shen Wansan glanced at his son, who did not hide his disgust, and reminded him softly.
"Today is your sister's big day.”
"Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Jin pursed his lips.
Not even telling the truth?
Tidas was poor and had an ordinary family background. He was just a little handsome. How many handsome men were there in the world? He really did not know how his sister had taken a fancy to Tidas.
In his opinion, Shen Rong's devastatingly beautiful appearance and their Shen family's monstrous wealth were enough for them to climb up the royal family's high branches. However, his father and sister had set their sights on Tidas.
The celebratory sounds of firecrackers rang out continuously.
Officials arrived one after another.
These officials were mostly fifth-grade officials of the same rank as Tidas or colleagues from the Ministry of Rites.
"Brother Ye, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Brother Ye marrying a beautiful wife is really enviable. I heard that the bride is the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, Shen Wansan?
Tsk tsk, Brother Ye's luck with women isn't shallow. Miss Shen is a national beauty, and countless young geniuses want to marry her. I didn't expect Brother Ye to cut off her marriage. I'm afraid that from today onwards, Brother Ye will become the enemy of countless young geniuses.”
"Brother Ye and Young Lady Chen are a perfect match. No, with Brother Ye's handsome appearance, who knows who would benefit who if Brother Ye marries Young Lady Chen.”
"Hahaha, you're right. Brother Ye, you're so happy today, you should have a drink with us.”
"The joy of life can be said to be on the wedding night, when the name is written on the golden list. Brother Ye, you are now valued by the emperor, the emperor even let you personally set the examination questions in the court, and now you have married a beautiful wife, it can be said to be even more joyous.”
Some familiar colleagues from the Ministry of Rites teased Tidas.
Tidas could not help but smile and reply,
"Today is my big day. Everyone, eat and drink well.”
"You guys continue chatting, I'll go receive the other guests.”
Tidas kept walking among the guests who had come to attend the wedding banquet. His face was full of smiles, and the bright red groom's robe on his body also made him look flushed.
Everyone from the Shen family helped Tidas greet the guests.
"Please come in, please come in.”
"Thank you for coming to my daughter and son-in-law's wedding.”
Shen Wansan welcomed the guests with a face full of joy.
He asked the servants to bring the guests in.
Shen Jin's face was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Father, although sister married Tidas and we can be considered in-laws, Tidas actually doesn't have any relatives. He even needs us to do things like entertaining guests.”
"Can't we just get the servants to welcome them?”
He said unhappily when he saw a group of customers enter.
"There are officials of the Imperial Court among the guests. If we let the servants receive them, wouldn't it seem like we're being negligent? Moreover, if the servants are reckless and offend the other party, that wouldn't be appropriate.”
Shen Wansan's face was still filled with joy.
He glanced at Shen Jin, who had an unhappy expression on his face." If you don't want to receive guests at the door, then find a place to stay. Don't cause trouble, do you understand?"”
Shen Wansan reminded Shen Jin, afraid that he would cause trouble in the Ye residence.
Shen Jin pursed his lips, his face full of disdain." This group of people are all insignificant fifth-grade officials. So what if I offend them?
That was true. Tidas was only a fifth-grade official of the Ministry of Rites. The person who could come to congratulate him was probably not a high-ranking official.
Father, did you see the betrothal gift Tidas gave earlier? That betrothal gift was too polite.
The dowry our Chen family gave today can be said to be extremely valuable. Just my sister's dowry alone can be considered the richest in a small county. Why should we give Tidas so many things? It's really a waste of time for Tidas."
Shen Wansan couldn't stand it anymore. His son was getting more and more ridiculous.
He frowned and scolded in a low voice," You've been spouting nonsense today. What medicine did you take wrong? First, she despised the Ye family for being poor, and then she despised your sister for having too much dowry.
So what if the Ye family is poor? They are, after all, a fifth-grade official. We are merchants. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have the lowest status. If others hear you talk like this, they will be beaten!
"Also, that's your sister's dowry. I'm willing to give it to you, and it's what your sister deserves.”
"Get in there. Don't make a fool of yourself here, and don't talk nonsense!”
Shen Jin's face was full of depression, and he was furious.
He did not expect Shen Wansan to scold him for Tidas.
What virtue and ability did Tidas have?
He was just a small official of the fifth rank.
At this moment, the servant outside the door suddenly shouted,"Li Han Gong sent a congratulatory gift."
