Chapter 435 The person who loves you will love and accept you no matter what you are like...
Before the Lunar New Year, Song Ruyan and Doctor Qian's wedding was held in a lively and bustling manner.
Chu Ruohan stood in the center of the courtyard, watching the servants bustling about.
Although neither Doctor Qian nor Song Ruyan had parents or family, she invited her maternal family members over, and together with the servants in the mansion, they set up seven or eight tables.
A courtyard in the backyard was set up as their new house. Song Ruyan found the bridal sedan chair troublesome, so she skipped it. After all, she was going from one room in the mansion to another.
A lively atmosphere filled the entire general's mansion, dispelling the chill of midwinter.
"Madam, the plum blossoms have all been picked," Yu Ling said softly as she walked over, carrying a basket of blooming plum blossoms.
Chu Ruohan nodded: "Pave it on the road from here to the East Courtyard, so that the newlyweds can step on the petals as they walk through."
Yu Ling understood and immediately led several maids to get busy.
The pink and white plum blossoms spread across the bluestone path, complementing the red "double happiness" characters, creating a beautiful scene.
Chu Ruohan turned and walked into the inner room, where Xuan Ge'er and Xiao Qingchen had already changed into festive red clothes.
Little Qingchen wore a bright red cotton-padded jacket, and her round face was beaming with smiles. She raised her little hands and babbled incomprehensible words, making the maids around her laugh non-stop.
"Sister, look how cute Qingchen is." Chu Yueshu held little Qingchen and walked to Chu Ruohan's side.
Chu Ruohan reached out and tapped her daughter's nose: "This girl is unusually energetic today."
At this moment, Chu's parents walked in from outside. Looking at the busy scene, Chu's mother smiled and said, "Ruohan, you've made such thoughtful arrangements."
Chu's father nodded in approval: "Dr. Qian has excellent medical skills and is humble and polite. He is a good boy."
Mother Chu frowned: "It's just that this Miss Song is too straightforward and has too much of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit. I really can't understand how the two of them could become a couple?"
Chu Ruohan smiled and said, "It is precisely because their personalities complement each other that they can achieve such a perfect balance. Doctor Qian is introverted, while Song Ruyan is lively and straightforward. Together, they are a perfect match."
Chu's mother shook her head, still puzzled, but said no more.
At the auspicious hour, Song Ruyan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, walked out of the room.
Although she was wearing a woman's wedding dress, she was still full of spirit, holding her head high and walking with firm and powerful steps, without the shyness and restraint that a bride should have.
Dr. Qian stood in the center of the courtyard, dressed in wedding attire, looking exceptionally energetic.
But he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he dared not look directly at the bride who was walking towards him.
"The newlyweds are to pay their respects!" the master of ceremonies announced loudly.
Song Ruyan strode forward, took Dr. Qian's hand, and was about to bow.
Her movement was too abrupt, nearly causing the slender Dr. Qian to fall. Dr. Qian hurriedly steadied himself, a blush spreading from his face to his ears.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
The two bowed in greeting.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
Song Ruyan pulled Doctor Qian around and bowed deeply to Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze.
Since neither of them had any parents alive, this bow was a sign of respect to the officiant.
"Couple greetings!"
Song Ruyan turned to face Doctor Qian, and the two bowed to each other.
Just then, Song Ruyan suddenly shouted, "Dr. Qian, from now on you're mine! I'll protect you!"
Upon hearing this, all the guests in the room burst into laughter.
Dr. Qian's face turned even redder, a stark contrast to the spirited bride.
Chu Ruohan and Chu Yueshu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This Song Ruyan is truly generous," Chu Yueshu said in a low voice.
Chu Ruohan nodded: "But look at Dr. Qian, although he's shy, his eyes are full of tenderness. They will be happy."
After the wedding ceremony, Song Ruyan took Dr. Qian's hand and strode towards the new house prepared for them in the backyard.
"Throw flowers!"
The maids scattered the prepared flower petals towards the newlyweds, and laughter echoed in the courtyard.
Chu Ruohan felt a warmth in her heart as she watched this joyful scene.
Her gaze swept over Yuling, who was busy and attentive, and her resolve to find her a good marriage was strengthened once again.
Yu Ling was busy directing the maids to arrange the wedding candies and pastries when she noticed the gaze behind her. She turned around and smiled at Chu Ruohan.
Chu Ruohan thought to herself, Yuling has been loyal to me for so many years, it's time to consider her marriage.
Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely make sure to arrange things properly for her.
At the wedding banquet, toasts were exchanged and the atmosphere was lively and festive.
As expected, Song Ruyan did not behave like a typical newlywed bride and stay quietly in the bridal chamber.
She was already impatient with those formalities, and after a few drinks at the wedding, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she became even more extravagant.
He simply rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to find a few familiar guards to play a drinking game.
"Five champions! Sixes! Eight horses!" Song Ruyan shouted in a clear voice, her fists flying, and she won several rounds in a row, piling up a small pile of prizes in front of her, which made all the guests in the hall cheer.
Dr. Qian stood to the side, holding a wine glass, a hint of helplessness on his face, but a smile he couldn't hide on his lips. His eyes were full of indulgence and doting, and he would occasionally whisper to her, "Drink less, or you'll get drunk."
Song Ruyan turned around and grinned at him, then downed another cup and said boldly, "I'm happy today, so it doesn't matter!"
Chu Yueshu watched with great interest. She leaned close to Chu Ruohan and whispered, "Sister, look at Sister Ruyan. She really doesn't act like a bride at all. But it's really good. Doctor Qian is so lucky."
Chu Ruohan smiled faintly, picked up her teacup and took a sip, her gaze gently falling on Song Ruyan: "She is naturally unpretentious and carefree, which is quite rare."
“Yes,” Chu Yueshu sighed, “When an ordinary woman gets married, she usually hides shyly in the bridal chamber, waiting for her husband. But she’s different; she’s the one who reigns supreme at the wedding banquet.”
As Chu Yueshu spoke, she couldn't help but laugh herself.
Chu Ruohan said, "Look at Doctor Qian, although he seems somewhat helpless, his eyes are full of joy."
Chu Yueshu followed her sister's gaze and indeed saw that although Doctor Qian was somewhat at a loss due to Song Ruyan's boldness, the gentle smile in his eyes was genuine.
His gaze as he looked at Song Ruyan seemed to hold a pool of spring water.
"Dr. Qian usually seems so gentle and refined, I never expected him to tolerate her causing such a ruckus," Chu Yueshu said softly.
“This is what happens when love is in the air,” Chu Ruohan said softly. “The most important thing when two people are together is to feel comfortable and at ease.”
"Ruyan can be her most authentic self in front of Dr. Qian, and Dr. Qian can appreciate her authenticity. This is a perfect match."
During the meal, someone who knew him laughed loudly and said, "Dr. Qian, you've really married a gem! Your household will be very lively from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Qian blushed slightly and cupped his hands, saying, "You flatter me. My wife, she has a very cheerful personality." He spoke modestly, but the smile in his eyes deepened.
After winning a round, Song Ruyan returned to Doctor Qian's side with her prize money in her arms and stuffed the items into his arms: "Take these, they're all my spoils!"
Dr. Qian quickly caught it, somewhat amused and exasperated: "You should drink less."
"No way! We're not leaving until we're completely drunk today!"
The wedding banquet lasted until evening before gradually dispersing. Song Ruyan had drunk quite a bit and was half-supported, half-carried back to her bridal chamber by Doctor Qian.
