Chapter 1663 The Eve of the Wedding
Everyone was focused on the grand wedding at the Prince of Jin's residence.
Some people hoped for unexpected twists and turns, while others hoped the marriage would go smoothly and perfectly.
For example, Chen Deshan's wife.
She also hoped that Lu Zhaoling could successfully become the Princess Consort of Jin.
In the ancestral temple, Sizhen and Jiechi stayed up half the night copying scriptures by lamplight.
The two brothers were very devout. After copying a sentence, they would silently pray for Buddha's blessing.
My hands are getting sore from copying, so I'll put down my pen and rest for a while. I'll also ask Sizhen for advice.
"Senior brother, do you think Buddha heard our prayers?"
“I definitely heard it,” Sizhen said.
Jie Chi was a little worried, "Senior brother, do you think Buddha will bless Benefactor Lu?"
"What are you saying?" Sizhen looked up at him. "Benefactor Lu is so kind, how could Buddha not bless her?"
What's that little round head of mine thinking about all day?
She held her chubby face in her hands, squeezing it until it looked round and full.
He sighed worriedly.
"Because Benefactor Lu is not a Buddhist."
Thoughts lingered for a moment.
Why are you worried about this again?
"Buddha has a broad mind and will surely bless every kind-hearted person. Benefactor Lu is a good person, so Buddha will certainly protect her and will not care whether she is a Buddhist or not. You can rest assured."
Jie Chi nodded. "Senior brother, you're right. Let's continue copying the scriptures."
May Buddha bless Benefactor Lu, considering their sincere efforts in copying the sutra.
The young monk picked up his pen again to copy the scriptures. Sizhen glanced at the nearly burnt-out candle and said, "Let's copy for a little longer and then go to rest. Otherwise, it won't look good to go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow with dark circles under our eyes."
Quitting eating quickly nodded.
"it is good!"
He couldn't possibly have dark circles under his eyes. It would be one thing if he didn't look good, but he was also afraid that Prince Jin would dislike him and not let them enjoy the wedding feast properly.
The people in Huaiyuan also got up, and everyone was a little anxious.
Earlier, when Lu Zhaoling was about to go out, she asked Rong Jingjing to arrange for Madam Fu and the others to rest first.
The original plan was to let them sleep for two hours, and then get up and start working. They also planned to capture Lu Zhaoling and give her a proper makeover.
Changing into that wedding dress will probably take quite a while.
They were all already up, but Lu Zhaoling hadn't returned yet. How could the wedding be on the eve of the ceremony and the bride still nowhere to be seen?
Madam Fu had already washed up and drunk a bowl of nourishing and warming soup, and now she felt refreshed.
"It's strange, I only took a short nap of less than two hours in Huaiyuan, but it felt like I had a wonderful sleep. I feel incredibly energetic when I wake up. I guess this happy event is something that Buddha and Heaven are happy to see happen."
Prince Jin and Miss Lu are definitely a match made in heaven, so everything is going in the right direction.
After Madam Fu said those two sentences, everyone felt that they made some sense.
They all felt that after resting in Huaiyuan for a while, they felt refreshed and slept better than at home.
Mrs. Lin and the others had initially thought that since they were guests and helpers, they would have some concerns and wouldn't sleep very soundly. However, they were surprised to find that they slept exceptionally well in just two short hours.
Madam Fu's daughter-in-law, Yao, was also there, following her instructions and preparing the things that would be needed.
For example, the comb that Madam Fu wanted to use to comb Lu Zhaoling's hair also had to be prepared in advance, as it was sent by the Prince of Jin's residence.
I heard there's something special about this comb.
Granny Qing originally prepared a jade comb that Consort Long, the birth mother of Prince Jin, used to use, but Prince Jin changed his mind and personally carved a comb inlaid with ebony and jade.
Moreover, it has been carefully polished, and every tooth of the comb is very smooth. It has been oiled and is very moisturizing, so it will definitely not damage a single hair of Lu Zhaoling's.
Upon hearing this, Madam Fu looked at the comb and said to her daughter-in-law, "This comb shows that the Prince is truly devoted to Miss Lu."
Prince Jin probably thought that Consort Long had passed away early and was not a very fortunate person.
Others said this was definitely not going to work, and the Prince of Jin would never have considered this possibility before.
But now that it concerns Miss Lu, Prince Jin has carefully considered this point as well, so he will not allow Lu Zhaoling to use Consort Long's comb when she gets married.
Madam Yao nodded and said, "I also think highly of them and hope they can live happily ever after, like husband and wife, loving each other for a lifetime."
"Mother, why hasn't Sister Zhaoling come back yet?"
Lin Yanran was very worried at this moment.
Aunt Liu served them all hot breakfast and invited them to come and eat first.
Today, a few tables will be set up at Huaiyuan Garden. After Lu Zhaoling is taken away by Prince Jin, these people will stay at Huaiyuan Garden to have their own wedding banquet.
Even Zheng Ying's family was invited, as well as the two children Lu Zhaoling had saved before and their grandfather, who would also be having a wedding banquet at Huaiyuan. It was quite a lively affair.
Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, and Old Ma and Little Liu were also extremely busy today.
Fortunately, later in the day, people from the Sun family's trading company came to help.
Jin Yuan's family will also stay in Huaiyuan. These people are Lu Zhaoling's maternal family.
Lu Zhaoling hadn't returned yet, and Aunt Liu looked at Rong Jingjing with some concern. She asked, "Miss, would you like someone to go to the Prince's mansion to check on her?"
Their young lady hasn't returned yet, so has the prince gone back to his residence?
Rong Jingjing shook her head, glanced at the sky, and took out a small clay figurine. "No need to go. I'll have the clay figurine go to the intersection and take a look."
The little dough figurine got off the ground and hopped and skipped towards the gate.
Just as he was about to squeeze through the crack in the door, it was suddenly pushed open, and the little clay figure almost got stuck to the back of the door panel with a thud.
Lu Zhaoling sensed something, stopped pushing the door open, peeked out, and saw the small clay figure.
She chuckled. "Oh dear. Are you alright?"
The little dough figurine didn't answer her; it just took several steps back.
Qingyin and Qingbao also came over, and found the little dough figurine's reaction somewhat amusing.
"Miss Rong's clay figurines seem to be getting more and more popular."
The way the little dough figurine retreated just now, with its clattering and its expression, made it seem as if it was afraid of being pushed over by the young lady with a door panel.
"Senior Sister is back!"
Upon hearing the voice, Rong Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly came over.
The others followed.
Upon seeing Lu Zhaoling, everyone visibly relaxed.
When Lu Zhaoling returned, she saw such a large group of people welcoming her. Her heart warmed at first, but then she felt a little embarrassed.
"You haven't been waiting here all night, have you?"
Are you still awake?
She was truly guilty, considering how old Madam Fu was. She came with good intentions to help, only to be forced to stay up all night waiting.
