Wedding day is the most important day for an ancient woman. On her wedding day, Minglan wore a bright red wedding dress and sat in the flower sedan chair. Her heart was full of mixed feelings, not just simple happiness.

First, she felt sad to leave Grandma Sheng. The grandma had raised her for so many years, and she was the person Minglan loved most in the world. Second, she felt a little nervous about the future. The Marquis's house was full of complicated relationships, and she did not know what challenges waited for her. But most of all, she felt calm and expectant. She knew she was going to start a completely new life.

She did not cry like many other brides. She sat straight and calm in the sedan chair, and walked firmly into her new home. She was ready to face her new life with all her wisdom and courage.

对古代女子来说,出嫁那天是一生中最重要的日子。大婚那天,明兰穿着一身大红的嫁衣,坐在花轿里。她心里百感交集,不只是单纯的开心。

首先,是离开盛老太太的不舍。祖母养了她这么多年,是她在这世上最亲的人。其次,是对未来的一点点紧张。侯府里关系错综复杂,她不知道前面等着她的是什么样的挑战。但更多的,是平静和期待。她知道,自己要开始一段全新的人生了。

她没有像很多新娘子那样哭。她端端正正、安安稳稳地坐在花轿里,稳稳当当地走进了新家。她已经准备好,用她全部的智慧和勇气,去面对新的生活。
