Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 69

On January 1, the New Year's Day of the later generations, there is great weather.

The heavy snowfall for several consecutive days had stopped the previous day. The sun rarely appeared in the sky on the first day of the new year. The sun in the cold winter may not be warm enough, but it is bright enough to melt the ice and snow silently, bringing the footsteps of spring to the earth.

Earl Williams House is very busy on this day.

The time for the wedding was set in the afternoon, and the location was the largest church in the capital. Felix spent a lot of heart (gold) thinking (money) to invite a cardinal whose status was second only to the Pope, that is, The cardinal, officiating the wedding for him, and the witness is His Majesty the King who enthusiastically offered to witness the marriage for him. Felix originally wanted to ask Ellen's father to take up this role, but since the king is willing, then Nature is the best.

With these two characters here, Felix's wedding was naturally elevated to a very high level, second only to the royal wedding.

Although the ceremony was in the afternoon, Wei Wei had to get up early in the morning to prepare, because she had to do full body maintenance first, then change her clothes, make up, and comb her hair. Every detail must be refined, and the last thing to appear in front of everyone is Her most perfect side.

Of course, this is not Wei Wei's own goal, but the goal of the maids who surround her, wishing she would become immortal.

Here today, she is a mannequin who just needs to stay still and let others serve her.

Of course, she had to do the makeup herself, and Wei Wei couldn't accept other people's craftsmanship.

While she was busy, the other host of the wedding was nervously waiting outside the door.

During this period, there was no rule that they could not meet the day before the wedding. In some areas, the day before the wedding was the day of the bridal chamber. After the bride and groom had completed this move, they would go to the church for the ceremony.

Of course, this custom doesn't work at least for Wei Wei.

Here I have to mention a bad habit in Europe and even the Yuan Dynasty in the original history - the right of the first night.

In Europe, especially in a country dominated by Western Europe, getting married is not just a matter for ordinary people. The law stipulates that the brides' wedding night does not belong to their husbands, but belongs to them. Lords, if they don't want the bride to fulfill this obligation, they have to pay a marriage tax of four silver coins like the Lord, and if the Lord likes the bride, then they can choose not to ask for money.

And this one is unavoidable for free people, as long as they live in the lord's private domain.

So the more beautiful a woman is, the more worried about this. If Wei Wei is not married to Felix, then as a member of his territory, she will be in big trouble now. Of course, if she married another powerful nobleman, Felix would have to make her pay taxes at best.

Of course, these are only ifs, the reality is that her marriage partner is Felix, her lord, so no one can ask her to pay this ridiculous tax, not even the king.

According to the wedding tradition of this period, the groom should have gone to the church at this time to wait for his bride, and the bride will be led by her mother and the groom's mother into the church, and they will hand her over to the bride.

But neither Wei Wei nor Felix had parents, so naturally there were no female elders who could lead Wei Wei into the auditorium.

Although a noble lady like Countess Nelson expressed that she was very happy to take on this role, Wei Wei felt that they were not close to this level, and she didn't want to suddenly become a dwarf, so she politely declined after weighing it.
