Chapter 642 Married Couple...
Lu Lijun looked at Jiang Yuyan questioningly, as usual, not saying a word, but his sight was enough for Jiang Yuyan to understand what he meant.
"Lu Lijun, I need your help." As Jiang Yuyan said it, Lu Lijun continued looking at her to know further and Jiang Yuyan continued.
"We will play a game early in the morning but this is the real game and not the one on the laptop. Got it?" Jiang Yuyan asked, looking into his eyes and waiting to get any reaction from him.
Staring at Jiang Yuyan for a while, Lu Lijun nodded, even though he didn"t know what Jiang Yuyan meant. He was an obedient child who was always ready to do what Jiang Yuyan asked him to do without asking a question.
"Get up and get ready, we have to go somewhere," Jiang Yuyan instructed and Lu Lijun agreed.
When Lu Lijun went to get freshen up and to get ready, Jiang Yuyan went out to go to the servant"s rooms. One servant woke up seeing her. She was the woman who was older than all the other servants and looked like she was in her fifties.
"Get one driver for me," Jiang Yuyan ordered.
The servant looked around to see it was still dark out and asked, "Young mistress, it"s still so early. Is there any problem?"
"Just do as I said," Jiang Yuyan said coldly that the servant didn"t dare to ask anything further and left to wake up the driver.
Jiang Yuyan instructed the driver to be ready with the car in just ten minutes and asked the lady servant to not inform anyone about her leaving the home early morning. Servant nodded.
The driver was waiting for Jiang Yuyan and when he saw her, his eyes left wide open in a shock. Jiang Yuyan was wearing Qipao- A traditional Chinese bride"s dress and the jewelry. She was carrying one medium-size red color box in her hand.
Lu Lijun was walking along with her, he was wearing his usual clothes, a T-s.h.i.+rt and jeans pants.
When Jiang Yuyan reached the car, the driver heard her saying, "Drive to the temple."
The driver snapped out of the daze, "Y-Yes, young mistress."
The driver had so many questions in his mind but he didn"t dare to ask seeing how cold and silent Jiang Yuyan looked.
When they reached the temple, Yuyan took Lu Lijun inside while the driver stayed back. The monks were praying early in the morning and when they were done, one of the monks came to her.
Seeing Jiang Yuyan in a bride"s dress, the monk understood why she was there and led her way inside where the master of the temple was. The master was sitting near the huge statue of lord buddha. He recognized the woman and a boy standing in front of him and he welcomed them with a pleasant smile as if he already knew why they were there.
The monk who was standing beside Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun asked, "Are you here for the wedding?"
Looking at him, Yuyan nodded. "Hmm!"
As there was no one adult with Jiang Yuyan, the monk asked, "When will the groom arrive here?"
Looking at Lu Lijun, Jiang Yuyan replied, "He is the groom."
It shocked the monk and he looked at Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun in disbelief and then moved his sight to look at the master who had the same pleasant expressions on his face even after hearing what Jiang Yuyan said.
"Master, this…."
"Prepare for the wedding," the master instructed as he interrupted the monk.
It surprised Jiang Yuyan that the master asked nothing and permitted the wedding when she thought she had to go through the long question-answer session before the wedding.
The monks arranged the altar table for the wedding ceremony, which had memorial tablets for the two lords- the lord of heaven and the lord of the earth to whom the couple had to bow first.
The monk instructed Yuyan as he looked at Lu Lijun, "Put the groom"s robe on him."
Taking out the long red silk robe from the red box in her hands, Jiang Yuyan put the robe on Lu Lijun, who said nothing and let her do it.
The robe was oversized, but Jiang Yuyan secured it tightly with a belt around his waist and folded the sleeves a little so that his hands would be visible.
Once everything was set the master asked the groom and the bride to bow to the lords of heaven and the earth three times.
Jiang Yuyan held Lu Lijun"s hand and stepped forward towards the altar table which was placed in front of a huge statue of lord buddha and the master was sitting at the one side.
As Jiang Yuyan kneeled down in front of the altar table, she asked Lu Lijun to do so too. Kneeling down, both bowed to the lords three times and as there were no family members, later they bowed to the Lord Buddha and the master.
The wedding was finished as the master gave them the blessing and later wrote the wedding approval on the red paper which was the proof of Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun being a husband and the wife.
Jiang Yuyan could have just faked the wedding without coming to the temple, but what she needed was the paper of wedding approval written by the master which had a stamp from the temple. Being familiar with the traditions in the village, she was aware of all these things and just for that she had to go through all the rituals.
Bowing to the master, Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun left the temple. The driver was waiting for them to come back and when he saw Lu Lijun in the groom"s robe; he got another shock of his life.
"Young mistress this..."
Jiang Yuyan gave him a cold look and instructed, "Start the car."
"Y-Yes," Saying, the driver first opened the door of the back pa.s.senger seats for them to sit and immediately got back to his place- the driver seat.
