Chapter 266: Imperfect Appearance
The auspicious time has come and the bride goes out.
Xi Po, who sang the ceremony, was full of joy and walked in front of Xie Fengyue to lead the way.
Xie Fengyue was wearing a wedding dress, as gorgeous as the morning glow rising in the sky.
The wedding fan gently covered her face, but it could not hide her beautiful face. Her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is high and straight, her lips are painted with vermilion, everything is just right.
She is like a green bamboo standing in the wind, graceful and graceful. As she walked slowly, her waist was as thin as a willow stick. As she swayed gently, it was as if she could hear the wind whispering through the willow leaves, which made people enchanted.
The men around her looked at her and gasped, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.
They all knew that this girl Xie was extremely beautiful, and when they saw her today, everyone was speechless for a moment, and all looked at the groom Guan Youheng.
This man's family background is not outstanding, and his appearance is even more outstanding. He is really very lucky.
Xie Fengyue lowered her eyebrows slightly and allowed You Heng to catch her hand. His palm seemed to be wet, and Xie Fengyue could still feel a tremor when he touched it at the beginning of the month.
The two people were surrounded by people as they walked to the wedding hall. The tedious seven rituals of taking a shower, meeting each other, paying homage to each other, sharing a meal, joining quilts, wearing ribbons, and taking off the tassel were all completed very smoothly. Taifu Xie had a smile on his face. The pleats were relaxed, and even Mrs. Xie was not in trouble today.
When getting into the sedan chair, Xie Fengyue tilted her wedding fan slightly and quickly looked around.
There was not even one like him.
Xie Fengyue couldn't explain how she felt. She felt like a big stone was pressing down on her heart, and she was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.
You Heng caught her frowning at a glance and whispered: "Are you hungry? There are snacks in the sedan."
Xie Fengyue narrowed her eyes slightly through the wedding fan, and looked like she was smiling, but she never took the words and got into the sedan with a movement of her body.
Qian'an's wealthy family has a custom of breaking down the brazier and embroidered sedan chair at weddings, etc. The two families have a good relationship with Qin and Jin, and share the resources they can put on the table. All they want is good for you and me.
As the mother-in-law and the boy singing the ceremony shouted three times, "The auspicious time has come, get up the sedan chair"
Xie Fengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
After today's departure, her relationship with Mr. Xie will only be that of a married woman.
I am indebted to Mrs. Xie for the "favor of childbearing", but I don't know if I will like the thank you gift she carefully prepared.
The wedding procession circled the entire Imperial City and Zhongcheng City, handing out wedding money as they went. The people around them were happy to see it but not to their eyes.
Although the people who could live in these two cities were not short of food and clothing, there was no reason to waste the free money. The procession played gongs and drums and finally stopped next door to Yongning Princess' mansion.
When Xie Fengyue got off the sedan, everyone was a little stunned. She only had to turn her head slightly to see the closed door of Princess Yongning's mansion.
She allowed Xi Po to hand her hand to You Heng, her thoughts already running a hundred and eighty miles away.
"There are steps." A clear and bright voice brought her thoughts back.
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look directly at You Heng's face. She finally understood what Master You meant when he said there was something missing on my son's face.
Judging from You Heng's facial features, he should be extremely handsome. His face was chiseled, his facial features were exquisite, his nose was high, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he had a heroic spirit between his brows. However, there was a striking red spot on his left eye, which was like a flaw, destroying his original perfection.
This red spot was like a blazing fire, burning brightly on his left eye and occupying the entire eye socket. Its existence made the originally deep and bright eyes become a little weird and lost their original look. Every time he blinked, the red spot pulsed, making it impossible to ignore.
Because of this red spot, his appearance seemed to be cast into a shadow, and the good looks that should have belonged to him were greatly reduced.
Qian'an attaches great importance to appearance, and appearance is regarded as the external manifestation of a person's quality and ability. Especially for children of aristocratic families, the perfection of their appearance is directly related to their future in the officialdom.
The miscellaneous books that Xie Fengyue had read recorded that there was a gentleman named Zhao Ziyu in the previous dynasty. Although he was born in a prominent family, he had received good education and training since he was a child. A good policy statement written with a heart that cares about the country and the people.
However, fate seemed not to be kind to him. There is an obvious scar on the bridge of his nose, which was left by an accident when he was young. Although this scar is not fatal, it seriously affects his appearance.
Regardless of whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, the appearance of the children of aristocratic families can be regarded as one of the symbols of their identity and status.
Although Zhao Ziyu's family has a good status, when the family recommends their children to be officials, they have to take appearance into consideration. Therefore, although Zhao Ziyu's talent and knowledge were recognized by the elders of the family, the family was never able to recommend him as an official because of his shortcomings in appearance.
Zhao Ziyu felt deeply helpless and disappointed. He has tried many times to enter the officialdom through other channels, but he has always been blocked due to appearance problems. He watched the children of the aristocratic families around him enter the officialdom one by one and achieve great success, and his heart was filled with envy and jealousy. He began to doubt his own worth and even his own life.
Gradually, Zhao Ziyu became depressed and immersed in his own world all day long. He was no longer as keen on learning and communicating as before, but began to indulge in wine and sex to numb his soul. His family elders saw his changes, and although they felt distressed, there was nothing they could do.
In this way, a talented young man from an aristocratic family became depressed due to his shortcomings in appearance, and finally embarked on the road of self-destruction. After getting drunk one day, he burned down the entire courtyard, leaving not even a body intact.
Xie Fengyue thought about this tragedy and looked at You Heng cryptically. No wonder he went to such great lengths to marry the Xie family's daughter. In his situation, being able to marry a daughter of a rich family is what he has done for the family. What a blessing.
Xie Fengyue had to have a headache. If she and You Heng reconciled in the future, wouldn't she let him suffer again?
Hey~ Xie Fengyue sighed in her heart, what kind of evil is this.
"Madam, don't worry. My father is the only one coming to Beijing this time. The ceremony will not be as complicated as it was in Xie's Mansion." You Heng explained very considerately.
There was no cowardice when he spoke. Even when Xie Fengyue looked directly at the red spots on his face, she never averted her eyes. Xie Fengyue's thoughts suddenly came to life.
Reliable!
Maybe not all husbands are like Zhao Ziyu in that miscellaneous book, because his appearance damaged his mind and he went crazy for a while.
A smile appeared on Xie Fengyue's face and she hummed softly.
The two of them, dressed in wedding clothes, entered the mansion hand in hand while gongs and drums roared and firecrackers fired. The setting sun stretched their shadows infinitely, and they gradually became closer to each other.

I was resurrected with full blood, and I went through the outline again. I felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and I couldn't let others disturb my thoughts with a few random words.
In the future, if I encounter someone who writes a thousand-word essay and scolds me, I will directly block them.
Don't try to break my Taoist heart!
