Chen Wenyi was a little stunned by his sudden touch, but she still endured it without turning her head. Unexpectedly, seeing her reaction, Leng Ren was not satisfied.
She never thought Leng Ren had such a mischievous side. In a very short time, he had bothered Chen Wenyi several times, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze!
Seeing her biting her lips and looking at him, a faint smile appeared on Leng Ren's face. He looked like a child who had gotten away with mischief! Who knew that a man in his thirties could be so childish!
Granny Xi was closest to them and naturally saw the little interactions between them. She didn't want to disturb such a perfect couple in their affectionate interaction. However, thinking that her work was not yet done, she had to break in despite her reluctance!
"One gourd split in the middle, a red string tying two people, once you drink the bridal cup together, you will be entwined forever. Please, the newlyweds, perform the bridal cup ceremony."
Granny Xi picked up the wine pot and poured some wine into the couple's gourds, drawing their attention back. Leng Ren and Chen Wenyi raised their wine cups. Their hands crossed and were brought to their lips.
"Drink the first cup for marital harmony and happiness."
As soon as Granny Xi finished her auspicious words, Chen Wenyi took a small sip of wine. Leng Ren, perhaps too nervous, drained half the gourd of wine in one go.
Seeing the groom so hearty, everyone clapped and cheered. Only Chen Wenyi felt he looked a bit silly at that moment. She couldn't help but think that this man had many facets.
Su Muqing looked at the couple in their bright red wedding attire, and a sentence suddenly came to her mind.
The couple drank the bridal cup together, joining their hair. The bright moon can be a mirror, this life will not be regretted. Red candles reflect the beauty, her face shows a blush.
How much this scene coincided with the words in her mind!
Thinking of something, Su Muqing looked up at Huo Qiyuan, and coincidentally, the man was also staring at her. Or rather, Huo Qiyuan's gaze had always been on her, not moving away!
As their gazes met, Huo Qiyuan leaned in slightly and whispered ambiguously in her ear, "Don't be too envious now. When we get married, I will definitely try harder to make it better! Making you the object of envy for all women under heaven!"
As the man spoke, his warm breath sprayed all over her earlobe, feeling a little wet and itchy. Su Muqing gently pushed his face away and gave him a reproachful glance. Her face was slightly flushed at this moment, but fortunately, it was covered by a mask.
The groom's wine was finished, and Granny Xi smiled and stepped forward again to refill his gourd.
"Drink the second cup for a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren, and a multitude of offspring!"
Chen Wenyi took a small sip again, Leng Ren downed it in one gulp, and Granny Xi refilled the wine...
"Drink the third cup for healthy parents and a happy family!"
Chen Wenyi still sipped, Leng Ren still gulped, and Granny Xi refilled the wine again...
"Drink the fourth cup for overflowing gold and silver, and no worries about food and clothing!"
Leng Ren continued to gulp, and Granny Xi continued to refill the wine...
"Drink the fifth cup for a successful career and a bright future!"
The same gulp, and she continued to refill the wine...
"Drink the sixth cup for a prosperous business and abundant wealth!"
"Drink the seventh cup for continuous good luck and plentiful benefactors!"
"Drink the eighth cup for family peace and thriving livestock!"
"Drink the ninth cup for everlasting love and growing old together!"
"Drink the tenth cup for perfection in all things and success in all endeavors!"
By the time Granny Xi finished her auspicious words symbolizing perfection, the wine in Chen Wenyi's cup had barely changed, as she only touched it with her lips each time, hardly drinking any of it.
However, Leng Ren had genuinely drunk ten cups of the cross-cupped wine, and each time he finished it completely, not a drop left! Granny Xi even worried that he would get drunk by drinking so much.
On their wedding night, if the groom got drunk and left the bride sober, it would be too inauspicious. Fortunately, although Leng Ren drank a lot, he did not get drunk.
The surrounding people were also very cooperative, and the cheers and heckles did not stop throughout the process. Every time Leng Ren finished a cup in one go, the onlookers would clap and cheer.
After just two cups, Granny Xi's wine pot was not enough to pour, and it was unprecedented for the newlyweds to refill their cross-cupped wine. She quickly had a maid bring another tray of wine pots.
Granny Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
This son-in-law from the Chen family truly has a great capacity! Even though she had been a Granny Xi for so many weddings, she had never seen such a straightforward and hearty groom drinking the cross-cupped wine.
"A millennium of love in the new millennium, a hundred years of companionship in slumber. Talented scholars and beautiful women, a perfect match, envying only the mandarin ducks, not the immortals! The two are united in marriage, sweeter than honey from now on."
"Congratulations to Miss and Master for completing the ceremony. We wish them harmony and happiness, and many children soon." After the ceremony, Granny Xi also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, it was completed! In fact, when Granny Xi took on this job, she was very unsure. This couple was married under unusual circumstances, and the two families did not know each other before the wedding.
Such a wedding, whether in terms of detailed procedures or the tacit understanding between the couple, was almost non-existent. The difficulty of arranging it was relatively greater, and a slight oversight could lead to a big joke.
If that were the case, it would not only be embarrassing for the host family, but also a thorn in the hearts of the couple, and a major blow to their careers.
Fortunately, although this wedding was somewhat hurried, the couple had great tacit understanding. Not only did no accidents occur, but it was also completed beautifully. It seemed that the wedding money would not be small, and Granny Xi was naturally very happy!
After the ceremony, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue. Perhaps it was because Granny Xi was truly eloquent, or perhaps Leng Ren was in a very good mood.
At the most enthusiastic moment, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly to Granny Xi, who was also smiling brightly.
"Well said! A generous reward!"
As Leng Ren finished speaking, Leng Si took out two golden ingots, each weighing ten taels, from his sleeve. He then strode forward and placed them in Granny Xi's hand, before stepping back.
Granny Xi looked at the two heavy golden ingots that suddenly appeared in her hands, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
These, these were all rewards for her? This was two hefty golden ingots! Her wedding gift money was not even this much. This one-time reward alone was enough for her to eat and drink for several years!
The onlookers were also stunned by Leng Ren's extravagance! How rich was this son-in-law of the Chen family? The reward he gave to Granny Xi was so much!
