Chapter 48: A Warning as Soon as He Entered
"Alright, alright, I'll go right away." Yun Shangren stood up excitedly and personally went out to welcome him, showing how much importance he attached to Yu Dan.
Yun Jingchu saw Yun Shangren off with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Yun Shangren is a man of letters, and also a noble and refined man of letters. Being able to hold the position of Chancellor naturally makes him a talented and accomplished man of letters. Such a person can't help but often feel melancholic due to being misunderstood and unappreciated.
In the past, in the ten years when Fu Dongfang was in power, the intelligence organization responsible for collecting information on all officials naturally included her father Yun Shangren. What Yun Shangren liked and disliked, including what kind of poetry he liked, she was very clear about. The poems she gave to Yu Dan were all tailored to Yun Shangren's tastes.
So, Yun Shangren occasionally read the poems and lyrics that Yu Dan had passed on outside, and suddenly he was amazed, feeling that the author said exactly what he thought in his heart. He immediately regarded the author as a kindred spirit, thinking it was a man at first, but later, using his connections to inquire, he found out that it was a fallen noblewoman, Yun Shangren felt even more precious and rare.
Later, at a noble banquet, Yun Shangren met Yu Dan, who was attending as the mistress's good friend. After a brief conversation, he suddenly felt that this was the red mate he had been seeking all along.
What moved Yun Shangren was that so many young masters and new nobles liked Yu Dan, willing to marry her as their wife, but she chose him instead, even willing to humble herself to be his concubine. So, he secretly decided that he must treat her well and not let her suffer any hardship.
This is also the reason why he went out to welcome him in person.
Very soon, Yun Shangren returned with a red glow on his face. Beside him, the matchmaker supported a woman in a pink dress as they walked slowly into the room.
Upon entering the house, the matchmaker handed the other end of the red silk to Yun Shangren, and it seemed like they were about to pay their respects to heaven and earth.
Yun Jing initially blinked in surprise, admiring Yu Dan's tactics with utmost sincerity. It should be known that taking a concubine doesn't involve the ritual of bowing to heaven and earth, and Yun Shangren has always emphasized etiquette and moral integrity; unexpectedly, he made an exception for Yu Dan. This was just the beginning, giving the first lady a warning as soon as she entered the door.
Sure, here is the translation:
"Sure enough, the host shouted: 'One bow to heaven and earth... Two bows to the ancestors...'"
As the host shouted, Yun Shangren and Yu Dan bowed down one by one. Of course, when bowing to the ancestors, in front of them were placed the memorial tablets of the elderly gentleman and lady.
The lady's face had turned ashen to the extreme on the main seat.
"Husband... newlyweds bow to each other..." The host originally wanted to shout "husband and wife bow to each other", but thinking that taking a concubine was not the same as marrying a wife, he hastily changed his words.
Just then, Yun Jinghua, who had just sent off Bai Ruoxue, rushed in and saw this scene as soon as she entered the door. She frowned and asked, "What's going on here?"
This sentence already sounds a bit like an interrogation.
Yun Shangren's eyebrows furrowed, and he restrained himself from reacting. The master of ceremonies continued to shout: "Send them into the bridal chamber!" Yun Shangren then led the newlyweds towards the backyard.
After the newcomer left, everyone muttered some congratulatory words. As the hostess, Mrs. Zhang should have greeted the guests, but she just sat in her seat with a cold face, not saying or doing anything, nor inviting everyone to take their seats. The atmosphere became increasingly awkward.
The lady in her heart that hate. Yun Shangren want to and Yu Dan worship heaven and earth's matter, she certainly know, but, no matter how she oppose, Yun Shangren just like eating iron filings, stubbornly refused to give up, finally, slammed the door and left.
Finally, Zhu couldn't help but stand up and invite everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending my father's wedding, please join us in taking our seats."
The mistress raised her eyes and gazed at Zhu's icy gaze, piercing through her bones...
