Chapter 133: What Does Getting Married Have to Do with Going to Court?

~7 min read 1,399 words

In the cell.

When Tian Shi heard the words spoken by the armored female soldier before her eyes, and saw the phoenix crown and rosy robes held by the soldiers behind her, her eyes overflowed with surprise and joy.

From the moment Chen Yaozu told her he would have Old Tian fly over from the East to marry her, she had always been anxious and insecure.

Now, it had finally arrived.

She almost couldn't believe it again.

"My husband really came?"

Hu Ying nodded, then opened the cell door: "This cell isn't a place to change clothes; we've prepared a room for you in the side courtyard of the yamen, to serve as the bridal chamber.

Let's go!"

Tian Shi couldn't wait to come out, following these soldiers under the gaze of all the old Mo, leaving lightly and gracefully.

Tian Shi was taken by Hu Ying to a room in the side wing, where red lanterns and red double-happiness characters had been hastily arranged at some point.

Although the bridal chamber wasn't very grand, everything a wedding room should have was prepared.

Two white soldiers put down the tray of wedding clothes in their hands and retreated.

Hu Ying gently stroked the new wedding dress in her hands and said softly to Tian Shi.

"This old wedding dress of yours is probably several hundred years old; a wedding dress cannot serve two purposes.

Put on the new one!

Throw away everything from the past, and start anew! Only then can you stay together happily after marriage!"

This sentence had a double meaning, making Tian Shi feel both ashamed and longing: "Good!"

But soon she asked again: "Can't I go see my husband now?"

Since she was arrested, until now, she hadn't seen Tian Erdai again.

After all, Old Tian was the first person to open her heart with sweet words since she came into this world.

Like a fledgling eagle opening its eyes, the first person it sees.

Also like the white moonlight in many people's hearts.

She had escaped countless times; during the escape process, to become powerful, she used illusions to lure others into boiling blood, then fed on it.

She had never thought of having physical contact with others again.

This showed Old Tian's position in her heart.

What was Tian Erdai doing now?

He had just handed that Criminal Code to Chen Yaozu when someone pressed him to go bathe and change clothes.

To be honest, after he washed off the sweat smell on his body and put on the wedding attire similar to a Ming Dynasty top scholar's robe, looking at himself in the mirror, he still had quite an air of heroic bearing.

Wenzhou Yu and Zhou Jiping and Li Jianguo, leading over a hundred younger brothers, used one morning to arrange the Pacification Commission yamen and the most important side wing courtyard before Tian Erdai arrived.

That is, the new room.

And now.

Wenzhou Yu's knife, originally used for killing, plunged into the fat pig's artery with the swiftness of thunder too fast to cover one's ears, then he shouted boldly: "Catch the basin, don't waste this blood!"

By his side, two were holding down that fat pig, and another younger brother was already holding an iron basin, inside which some salt had been placed waiting there.

The moment he pulled out the knife, he very nimbly caught the iron basin, and the spurting pig blood didn't drop a single drop onto the ground.

Zhou Jiping was plucking feathers from a chicken; yes, Li Jianguo, this old professor, was now using a knife to slit a chicken's throat.

A bunch of younger brothers were helping on the side, and someone was scrubbing abalone, someone was washing wood ear mushrooms and soaking vermicelli.

The entire wide road in front of the Pacification Commission yamen was now filled with stoves made from gasoline barrels, burning firewood.

A Ming Dynasty wedding from several hundred years ago!

Isn't it just a flowing feast, and then...

While Chen Yaozu was receiving Audrey's family, he was also answering a phone call; it was Megan calling. "Zu, you've massively gathered two or three hundred people; what do you want to do? Why didn't you notify me so I could prepare too!"

To be honest.

Megan still thought Chen Yaozu wanted to fight someone again; last time, gunshots rang for two or three hours late at night, that dense gunfire was like a certain Eastern European battlefield, putting her under great pressure.

Supposedly, drones and machine dogs had appeared; all that was missing was dragging out artillery to fire a round.

Last time had already made her extremely anxious; if it weren't for Chen Yaozu having already communicated with her, giving her good reasons and excuses prepared.

She would have exploded long ago! And after the fight, Chen Yaozu's people would clean up all battlefield traces, giving those above no reason to kick up a fuss.

Otherwise, she might have to shift her position under her butt.

This time, Chen Yaozu had again transferred two or three hundred elite members of the gang, making her unable not to be nervous.

"Madam, where are there two or three hundred people? There are only over a hundred people coming to attend a friend's wedding!

Don't be nervous, it's just a wedding!"

Megan confirmed again: "You're sure!"

Chen Yaozu suddenly smiled and put on a translated accent: "Yes, madam, I guarantee this is just an ordinary wedding!

Although, compared to other Easterners, it might be somewhat grand, but it is absolutely a wedding!"

A grand wedding; Megan pondered for a moment, feeling she needed to contact Chen Yaozu more, after all, affection is accumulated through interaction.

And sitting in her position, especially with their family's such special identity, making friends with all those who have special abilities is also a way of survival.

"A grand Eastern wedding, Zu, you've piqued my curiosity; can I come witness the beginning of happiness?"

Chen Yaozu was somewhat speechless; why don't you believe me: "Really, I guarantee it really is a wedding!"

Megan knew at once he had misunderstood, and hurried to explain: "Nonono, Zu, I believe your words! I want to come over, not suspecting you of illegal assembly or illegal gathering, and even less suspecting you plan to parade.

I just want to attend an Eastern wedding, that's all!"

Chen Yaozu found it inexplicable, but since the other party had put it that way, what could he do, so he just made a joke.

"Ms. Megan, in our East, attending someone else's wedding requires giving gifts and gift money! Commonly known as giving a share! You must not come empty-handed!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and went to meet Audrey and her family who were getting off the car.

Seeing him, Audrey eagerly flew into his arms: "Yaozu, you haven't come back to sleep for two days, I couldn't sleep at night either!"

Chen Yaozu caught her, greeted Olivia, but the two little ones had already run over to the ten-odd large pots to watch the novelty.

Watching the Wenzhou fish being divided up at flying speed, eyes unblinking.

After all, Americans, where would they have seen pig slaughter, nor have they seen this kind of stir-frying.

Food made by American locals, to tell the truth, is all extraordinarily bad-tasting!

As dish after dish was stir-fried out of the pots, the whole street in front of the Xuanwei Envoy Office was filled with the aroma of Eastern cuisine.

"Yaozu, are Eastern weddings all this grand?"

Audrey recalled that her own wedding with Chen Yaozu was just in a small church, announced by the pastor, and then it was over.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit sour.

"About the same!"

Chen Yaozu replied casually, then accompanied the equally curious Olivia and Audrey to watch for a while.

Soon, Hu Ying walked over, saluted: "Lord, the hour has come, do you think it is time to begin?"

"The hour has come, then begin!"

Chen Yaozu instructed Audrey and Olivia a couple of sentences, then he himself brought people into the Gongtang.

And Megan's family, who had hurried over, just arrived, got out of the car and heard from within this Eastern imitation ancient architectural complex many people shouting in unison a long chant:

"Court is in session!"
