Yun Da Man craned his neck to look at the carriage, exclaiming, "Dad, this looks like Brother Jiang Tun's carriage..."
Old Man Yun scratched his face, unsure, "Your elder brother is busy opening a shop in the capital, he wouldn't be coming, would he?"
Although San Man had sent an invitation to Chu Jiang Tun, they hadn't received a reply, so the family thought he wouldn't come...
But they had underestimated Chu Jiang Tun's enthusiasm and character.
Before the carriage had even stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Chu Jiang Tun waved with a smile at Old Man Yun and Yun Da Man, "Dad, Da Man, I'm here, haha..."
His return to the village this time was to congratulate his sister and attend San Man's wedding, killing two birds with one stone.
As soon as the carriage stopped, another carriage drove up. Lao Ma and Er Ma jumped down with smiles and began carrying gifts into the courtyard...
"Oh my, Jiang Tun, why did you buy so many things? We haven't finished what you sent last time!" Old Man Yun said helplessly.
Chu Jiang Tun cupped his hands with a smile, "Dad, if the family can't eat it, we can store it in the cellar. I asked someone to order a batch of seafood a few days ago, and I'll bring it to you in a couple of days..."
Old Man Yun stomped his foot in anger, "You prodigal child, you only know how to waste money. Seafood spoils easily. By the time it reaches Dashui Village, all the fresh stuff will be rotten!"
"It's alright, Father, I've asked people to pack it with ice, it won't spoil!" Chu Jiang Tun said, grinning from ear to ear. He then glanced around, "Dad, I heard my sister was enfeoffed as the Princess of Dongping, is that true?"
Chu Jiang Tun, being from a merchant background, had a low social status. Now that his family had a little princess, he also felt honored...
Upon hearing this, Old Man Yun puffed out his chest and pretended to say, "Of course, your sister is incredibly capable. Forget a princess, she might even become empress in the future!"
This boast was a bit too grand, perhaps even Old Man Yun didn't believe it himself...
But he had a premonition that his youngest daughter was someone who could soar to great heights and achieve auspicious success.
"Where is my sister? I want to see her!" Chu Jiang Tun was impatient.
Yun Da Man smiled, "She's in the inner room with Fang'er and Huaihua. Brother Jiang Tun, it's better to go in later. Male guests are not allowed in the women's quarters at this time..."
According to the customs of the Daliang Kingdom, wedding ceremonies were usually held at dusk. The daytime involved a series of procedures to entertain guests, and only in the evening could the couple officially tie the knot.
"Okay, okay!" Chu Jiang Tun nodded repeatedly, occasionally glancing into the courtyard.
Xiao Jinfeng and Yun San Man were the grooms for the day. Two large red sedan chairs stood at the entrance, and the two grooms leaned against them, chatting happily...
Inside the inner room, Madam Gu and Du Tieshan were busy helping the two brides with their makeup, while Little Xi Tian stood by watching the fun.
"Fang'er, San Man's temper isn't the best on weekdays, but he's not a bad person. He's good at making money and dotes on his wife. After you marry him, don't do any heavy or tiring work. If San Man dares to lose his temper with you, come back and tell your mother, and I'll deal with him..." Madam Gu instructed while helping Shangguan Fang'er tie her hair.
Shangguan Fang'er closed her eyes upon hearing this and sighed softly.
With things having come to this point, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
What Princess of Liang, what royal lineage, all of it seemed like fleeting clouds to her...
When one is trapped in the mire of life and cannot escape, there is nothing one can do but resign oneself to fate.
Moreover, San Man treated her well, was considerate, and took care of her. Fang'er was willing to marry him.
Little Xi Tian took Fang'er's hand and sweetly called out, "Sister-in-law Fang'er, after you marry Brother San, you must work hard and strive to give me a little nephew soon..."
Shangguan Fang'er's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she lightly pinched Little Xi Tian, "You little girl, what are you talking about? Having children, that's for later, much later!"
Actually, she still cared about those treasures. Even if she couldn't find them herself, she couldn't let those Yan people have them...
"Then I wish Sister-in-law Fang'er and Brother San eternal love, lifelong companionship, and a hundred years of happiness!" Little Xi Tian blessed them with a serious expression.
There weren't many people who received such sincere blessings from Sweet Baby, so Shangguan Fang'er was deeply touched.
"Thank you, Xi Tian!" Shangguan Fang'er smiled warmly.
After Madam Gu finished styling her hair, she added a beaded flower and a hairpin, as well as earrings, silver pins, jade hairpins, and other accessories...
Meanwhile, Huaihua was getting her makeup done with the help of Ru Yu and Ru Hua, and it was nearing completion.
Madam Gu walked over, sat beside Huaihua, and took her hand, "Huaihua, you are getting married today, and I and the family sincerely hope you will be happy. Young Master Xiao, although kind-hearted and honest, is after all a prince of the current dynasty. He has lived a life of luxury and comfort since childhood, so even after you marry him, you must be diligent with your hands and feet. In the future, you will have many responsibilities such as assisting your husband and raising children, and managing the household..."
"If you encounter any difficulties, come to me. If everyone can help, we will definitely not stand by and watch, understand?"
Huaihua's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this, and she quietly began to cry...
Considering her background, the former Jin Huaihua had been married before. Although her husband had died, she was still a virgin. However, people at that time valued reputation and honor the most.
Once a woman was married, she was considered a broken vessel. She never expected that Young Master Xiao would not care about these things and would completely accept Huaihua's past and future...
What virtue and merit did she possess to be fortunate enough to become Xiao Jinfeng's wife?
"M-Mistress, I understand everything!" Jin Huaihua nodded, tears streaming down her face.
Little Xi Tian smiled upon hearing this, "Sister Huaihua, from now on, don't call my mother Mistress anymore. Sister Huaihua can change her address to 'Da Niang' (aunt/elder woman), it sounds more fitting..."
Since Huaihua was now Mrs. Xiao Jinfeng, her master-servant relationship with the Yun family should also come to an end.
Jin Huaihua wiped away her tears and smiled at Little Xi Tian, "Okay, I'll call you Da Niang from now on!"
Han Chier and Si Ya Ke Dun, as guests of the Yun family, were genuinely happy to witness such a lively wedding scene...
Xiao Jinheng had sent his prepared gifts to San Man and Xiao Jinfeng early in the morning. He also dressed up and chatted with the villagers in the courtyard.
Si Ya Ke Dun was in a cheerful mood today and made an exception to release Han Chijiao from her room, with the condition that she was not allowed to leave the main gate...
However, how could the mischievous Princess Han be confined by her mother?
Thus, that evening, she caused a major incident...
