Chapter 112 King Wen of Zhou's Wedding (Part 2)
"You little bitch, let's see you act all high and mighty!" Zhang Jiao rushed up behind Sheng Lan and stepped on the back of the wedding dress.
Today was the first time Sheng Lan had worn high heels, and she already felt uncomfortable. She just felt her foot slip and she fell to the ground.
"Haha! Serves you right!" Zhang Jiao clapped her hands happily and skipped away.
"What's wrong with Lan Lan?" Wang Wenzhou knelt down on one knee and helped Sheng Lan up.
"I've sprained my ankle." Sheng Lan stood up, feeling a sharp pain in her left foot, making it difficult to stand. She stumbled and almost fell again.
Wang Wenzhou touched Sheng Lan's left foot with heartache; the goddess's small foot was already swollen.
He couldn't walk like that, so Wang Wenzhou picked Sheng Lan up in his arms. Because he was too fat, his protruding belly was pressing against the goddess, making it very uncomfortable to carry him.
Wang Wenzhou thought to himself, "Why don't I just carry the goddess around?"
Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou put the goddess on his shoulders, like a father carrying his daughter, letting the goddess sit on his shoulders.
"Wow..." A burst of exclamations erupted in the stadium.
Lord Wang's actions were truly unexpected.
Lord Wang first knelt on the ground, tenderly examining Miss Sheng's injuries. It's important to understand that kneeling was a form of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, and it wasn't something one could do casually. One could only kneel to Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, parents, and teachers; a husband could kneel to his wife. If this were to become public knowledge, the wife would be drowned in the spittle of the people.
Then Lord Wang simply carried Sheng Lan on his shoulders; such affection would deeply move even a man.
Zhang Jiao was initially very happy, but when she suddenly heard the exclamations of the crowd, she turned around and was completely stunned.
Zhang Jiao suddenly felt something strange inside, a deep unease she'd never felt before. She silently asked herself, "Why is that fatso so nice to that little bitch? Why?"
Sheng Lan sat astride Wang Wenzhou's shoulders, her legs dangling across his chest, her hands held tightly in his large hands, raised to her sides. Tears welled in Sheng Lan's eyes as she suddenly remembered sitting on her father's and brother's shoulders like this when she was a child, their large hands now feeling as warm as her father's.
If it weren't for the wedding dress covering her face, the audience would definitely have seen Sheng Lan's tear-streaked face.
Li Yajing pointed at Wang Wenzhou and said, "That little unexpected incident just now shows how deeply the groom loves the bride. Everyone is so envious! Lord Wang, when will you take another concubine? Remember to consider me!"
"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter. Li Yajing's singing was not good, but the girl was very witty.
Wang Wenzhou carried Sheng Lan to the center of the stage.
"Brother-in-law, you should put my sister down, otherwise how can we have the wedding ceremony?" Li Yajing said with a smile.
Wang Wenzhou carefully put Sheng Lan down, afraid that she might twist her ankle again. He supported Sheng Lan and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine!" Sheng Lan replied sweetly.
“Brother-in-law, next time you take a concubine, please remember that I’ve already signed up!” Li Yajing said, looking at Wang Wenzhou with deep affection.
"Haha..." Everyone laughed, and no one thought there was anything wrong with what they said. In the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for sisters to work together and share a husband, let alone best friends who were like sisters.
Wang Wenzhou felt somewhat awkward. It was a lie to say he didn't want to sleep with his "sister-in-law," but he still felt uneasy and didn't dare to answer.
"Hmph!" Li Yajing snorted and said, "Now let me introduce the two newlyweds. I'm sure everyone knows the groom. King Wen of Zhou, please greet everyone."
"..."
"King Wen of Zhou?" The crowd below the stage was completely bewildered. When did Wang Qingtian change his name? Isn't this just reading Wang Wen Zhou backwards?
Wang Wenzhou was driven to desperation by his mother, who disliked Sheng Lan and refused to let her into the family. She wouldn't even allow her to be a concubine, let alone a principal wife. Wang Wenzhou, deeply in love with his goddess, couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he married Sheng Lan as his principal wife, assuming the identity of "King Wen of Zhou." His mother, wanting to object, couldn't find a pretext.
"Hello everyone! I am King Wen of Zhou. Thank you all for coming to my wedding." King Wen Zhou smiled and waved to the audience.
"Haha!" Many people know that Lord Wang's mother opposes this marriage. Lord Wang is really too eccentric! He actually changed his identity to get married, which is indeed a bit ridiculous.
Wang Chengen learned the reason from those around him, and his brows furrowed. Wang Wenzhou was quite talented, but he was too willful and somewhat rebellious, making him unsuitable for important tasks! This humble servant must remind Your Majesty that Wang Wenzhou can be used, but he still needs some time to hone his skills.
Li Yajing pointed at Sheng Lan and said, "This is the bride, Sheng Lan. Sister Lan, please say hello to everyone."
"Hello everyone!" Sheng Lan bowed deeply to the audience.
"The bride is so beautiful!"
"Wang Qingtian is so lucky!"
May Wang Qingtian have a son soon!
The people of Hanshan were already used to Wang Qingtian's "unconventional ways," and they would not be surprised even if he married a "sow" today.
After the introductions of the newlyweds, it was time for the wedding ceremony. Li Yajing said, "Please welcome the parents of the newlyweds to the stage."
Wang Qiang walked onto the stage with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, carrying a memorial tablet in his arms that read "King Ji of Zhou".
On the other side of the stage, Sheng Lei appeared carrying his parents' memorial tablets.
As the eldest brother, Sheng Lei was like a father to Sheng Lan. With their parents gone, he should sit in their place and act as their elder brother. But Wang Wenzhou wouldn't allow it. Damn it, he thought, "No way I'm going to kneel and kowtow to my brother-in-law!" Sheng Lei didn't dare to act tough in front of Wang Wenzhou, so he had no choice but to obey Wang Wenzhou's arrangement.
The crowd below the stage had all sorts of opinions when they saw the words on the groom's father's memorial tablet.
Cheng Benqing stroked his beard and said, "Lord Wang is being a bit too frivolous. But King Ji of Zhou was indeed the father of King Wen of Zhou and Ji Chang."
Wang Chengen shook his head with a wry smile. The fifth young master of the Xinjian Earl's family was really too bizarre. If his parents found out what he did, they would be furious to death!
"I bow to Heaven and Earth," Li Yajing began.
"Second worship high hall..."
The wedding ceremony ended quickly, and everyone thought it was time to go out and attend the wedding banquet.
Unexpectedly, Li Yajing looked at Wang Wenzhou and asked, "King Wenzhou, do you take Sheng Lan to be your wife? Do you agree to marry her, to love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, and remain faithful to her until the end of your life, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for poorer, for poorer, for richer or ...
“I do!” Wang Wenzhou said clearly and distinctly.
"Wow..." everyone exclaimed. What trick is Wang Qingtian up to now?
How could people in the Ming Dynasty have ever seen modern wedding vows? Well, this is actually a Western wedding vow. Wang Wenzhou is always moved whenever he sees priests speaking on television. So, he specifically copied this vow over.
Sheng Lan was unprepared and had no idea that the adult would say these things in public. She was already in tears, so moved. The adult was so kind to her.
Zhang Jiao stared blankly at Wang Wenzhou on the stage, lost in thought. "You fat bastard! I'm clearly your concubine! Why are you so nice to this little bitch?"
After the wedding ceremony concluded, Li Yajing announced, "Distinguished guests, please go out for the wedding banquet. The food is ready. Please don't rush, and line up to leave."
"Wait!" a loud shout suddenly rang out.
