Chapter 752: Fireworks of Light, Joy Arrives!
ried.Li Lao Si was the first to speak up, "It's all my fault. I brought all this trouble upon myself."Jia Yi and Liu Yang knelt down, red-eyed, admitting their mistakes."It's not Uncle Four's fault, i...Xing Wan'er only knows the love between her parents now, she doesn't know there are so many twists and turns.
"Mother, I have memorized it all. I just don't understand; I will think about it slowly over time."
She pressed down the shock in her heart, carefully nestled in her mother's arms, and suddenly felt a little lost about the impending marriage...
Similarly, the Li family also heard the rumors from outside.
Mrs. Li was furious and said, "What are these people thinking If they have their eyes on our Jiaren, then just come to propose a marriage early!"
"Not a single visitor came. We had our eyes set on Wan'er, and they spoke so harshly about her, their envy was almost visible. How contemptible!"
"Grandma, don't be angry. It's just that those who are not envied are mediocre!" Jia Yin giggled and persuaded the old lady, "Outsiders are jealous of your brother and sister Wan'er's good marriage. They don't have it, so they naturally say sour words."
"Sister Wan'er, once you enter the house, your days will be prosperous, and with a few more big, fat boys, I'm afraid those envious people will simply die of jealousy!"
"Yes, the more jealous outsiders are, the better we should live our lives!" Li Laotai calmed down and instructed everyone.
"This time, Wǎn'er has been wronged. Make sure to prepare for the wedding properly and let the entire city see how much our Li family loves this daughter-in-law!"
"Alright, Grandma, don't worry!"
Everybody laughed and agreed.
Soon, it was the day of their marriage.
The Earl's mansion was adorned with brocade and red lanterns both inside and out. A large red carpet stretched all the way from the entrance for two li.
Jiarren was dressed in a crimson robe and riding a tall horse.
Jiahuan, Liguer, Maoguer, and even Luzong, Jiaxu, Guo Wenhao, Zhimin, Xiujie, as well as seven or eight friends from the academy, were all in new clothes. They rode horses, surrounding Jairin, to escort him to welcome the bride.
At the back were the bands and elaborately decorated flower palanquins, while at the front was this group of dashing young men full of vigor. They were truly a sight to behold.
In almost the blink of an eye, the roadsides were packed with onlookers.
Naturally, there were veteran soldiers from the Li family carrying baskets, scattering copper coins and assorted snacks, causing a commotion as everyone scrambled to grab them. The scene was lively beyond belief.
Upon arriving at the Xing residence, Jiarren did not bow but knelt on both knees and expressed his gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Xing.
Thank them for marrying their beloved daughter to him!
Xing Wan'er, veiled and covered, cried tears of both sadness and gratitude.
Lord Xing also personally helped Jia Ren up, and Madam Xing tearfully gave him a few instructions.
Xíng Nínghóng's eyes were red-rimmed, but she was steady and composed as she walked step by step, carrying her sister onto the palanquin.
Jia Ren was afraid that he would hurt Wan'er, so he protected her by his side.
Xing Ning whispered, "Brother-in-law, I don't need you to worry about how I'm taken care of at home. You just need to be good to my sister."
"I will definitely study hard and become successful."
Jiarren smiled and patted his shoulder, but Wan'er cried even harder...
At the earl's mansion, relatives and friends gathered together, eating fruit and chatting merrily. Finally, the bride arrived.
Li Lao Er sat high above, seeing his son leading in his daughter-in-law with a red silk flower ball.
When the young couple bowed to him, he turned his head and wiped away a tear.
It is unknown whether she was thinking of the deceased Wu Cuifang, or remembering how difficult it was for her son to grow up...
Jiārén had just sent the bride into the bridal chamber, lifted her veil, and finished their wedding wine. Before he could say a few words, he was dragged out by his friends to begin a drinking competition.
Wan'er remained seated on the bed, feeling a little lost.
At this time, Jia Yin giggled and brought Shui Ling and Shui Yun in.
"Sister-in-law, are you hungry My brother was too busy to arrange things, but grandma remembered that you love eating chicken wonton soup. I brought you a bowl to tide you over."
As they chatted, Shuiling and Shuiyun placed a large bowl of wontons and two small dishes on the table.
Wǎn'er let out a sigh of relief, stepped forward and took her younger sister's hand, smiling as she expressed her thanks.
"Sister, thank you and Grandma for remembering me. I didn't dare to eat anything this morning, you saved my life!"
Having said that, she changed out of her wedding dress and began eating wontons with a spoon.
Jia Yin smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners, as she sat beside her sister-in-law and chatted.
Shuiling and Shuoyun also took a plate of snacks, pulling along Wan'er's maidservant Chunsxiu to eat together.
When Jia Ren came home drunk, he saw his wife and younger sister huddled together, braiding each other's hair.
I didn't know what my wife had said, but my sister laughed so hard she was in tears with joy.
He couldn't help but laugh, and stepped in to ask, "What are you two talking about Why are you so happy"
Jia Yin jumped up, ran over and hugged her big brother's arm, shouting: "Big brother, you bringing your sister-in-law home is simply wonderful!"
"From now on, I'm never afraid of the needlework assignments Master gives me again, my sister-in-law is my guardian angel!"
Jia Ren couldn't help but laugh and cry. He patted his sister's head and said, "I married your sister-in-law back not to help you cheat!"
"When my brother got married, he forgot all about me, his little sister. I'm so heartbroken!"
Jiyin made a funny face, tidied things up, waved goodbye to her sister-in-law, and then quickly left with Shui Ling and Shui Yun.
Chunsxiu also lowered her head and went out, closing the door tightly.
Jia Ren let out a dry cough and said to Wan'er, "Funiu has always been mischievous since she was young. Don't mind her."
WAN'er truly liked her younger sister-in-law.
I wouldn't say we were familiar beforehand, but just that my younger sister-in-law wanted to learn how to braid the other day, and I was afraid she would be nervous, so I made an excuse to keep her company.
She smiled and said, "I don't mind at all. My sister is especially kind and intelligent, and she's very good to me. I will treat her like my own younger sister and love her dearly!"
Jia Ren looked into her clear eyes, and perhaps seeing her sincerity, he smiled even more happily. He stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms.
"From now on, we'll be family. Ning Ge'er will be my younger brother, and Fu Niu'er will be your younger sister!"
The dragon and phoenix candles on the table were burning brightly.
Crackling firecrackers, joyous occasion has arrived…
Inside the main courtyard, the Li family was also having dinner after a busy day.
Li Zhensheng, Li Laoda, and Li Lao San, as well as several other young men, were all drunk and had already returned to their rooms to sleep.
Only the elderly remained at the dinner table.
When Old Mrs. Li saw her granddaughter come back, she quickly asked, "Has your big brother gone back He was so drunk, didn't your sister-in-law get angry"
"Oh, grandma, don't worry. My sister-in-law is smart and kind. There's no way she would be angry with my elder brother!"
Jiayin ran over and sat beside her grandmother. She used her grandmother's chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork ribs and stuffed it into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge.
Tao Hong glared at her, "You have no manners! Eat your own food and stop bothering Grandma."
Jia Yin mumbled, "Understood, Mother."
Then, she spat out a bone.
Everyone laughed and quickly ate dinner. After finishing, they each rested and didn't mention it again.
The next morning, everyone gathered again in the flower hall.
Soon, Jiarong came in with his blushing bride.
The whole family prepared generous gifts for the reunion, and Wan'er also gave gifts to her family in return, all of which were handmade needlework.
Needless to say, every item is exquisite, clearly made with thought and effort.
Li Laotai couldn't help but pull her hand, filled with concern.
"You child, how did you do so many needlework The days for betrothal and wedding are already hectic, but I worry that you've been tiring yourself out."“Family members should look after each other more during times like these. I just don’t know when the Lord will be back and if he can catch us for lunch dumplings”The Marquis is going to the palace, h...
