Chapter 488: Preparations for the Joyous Wedding

is probably made from glutinous rice starch. It looks so pure white and paired with blanched greens, it just looks delicious.Liu Biao swallowed hard, wanting to have a bowl of soup, but Li Lao Si too...Wen Junyan also didn't look good.

The second brother was driven out of the house, and even his household registration and family tree were taken away. This was actually a good thing for him.

After all, in the future, all the family property and connections will belong to him!

But this time, our family lost such a big face in Xin Du. It can be said that we were utterly humiliated, but we didn't get any benefits.

Even, the second brother even married into the Cui family. How could he use his brother's marriage to pave the way for himself in the future!

In the backyard, Old Madam Wen was also wiping her tears with a handkerchief, crying non-stop. “Woooo, Qinglin must be angry with his family, and now that things are over, he hasn’t come back!

"Oh, woe is me! He doesn't even think about how everyone in the family is doing this for his own good. Even if he's angry, he can't possibly marry into the Cui family!"

"In order to repay his kindness, he gave up his second half of life, he didn't even know what it was like to be in love..."

Lady Wen couldn't bear it any longer and said bluntly, "Mother, how do you know that your second son and Cui Jinrou aren't in love Perhaps this misfortune was deliberately designed by him to marry Cui Jinrou..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, as if she had grasped the key to the matter, but then dismissed the thought.

The Liu, Li, and Cui families are all agreeable and willing to help with the playacting. But how could we possibly get the Emperor involved!

Who in this world could get the Emperor to cooperate and play along Even Wen Jia and everyone in Xin Du would be following him around!

She was impatient to waste any more time here, so she got up and threw down a sentence: "Mother had best stay home and recuperate. Don't think about going out for a walk or admiring the flowers. If you want to read some stories, have the maid go buy them!"

Having said that, she turned and left.

From now on, the Wen family only has the eldest branch, and no one can fight for anything anymore.

She is the mistress of the Wen family. Her son will smoothly inherit the Wen family, so naturally she doesn't have to look at anyone's face.

Of course, the Wen family's reputation has been greatly affected for now, but so what Whose family doesn't have some dirty little secrets!

One year, three years, ten years, twenty years pass, even the biggest scandal will be drowned in the long river of time...

To be frank, in the front yard study, Old Master Wen, who was racking his brains trying to win her back, hadn't been understood by a single woman!

Seeing her daughter-in-law walk away, Old Madam Wen turned to the maidservant serving by her side and asked, "Is there something wrong with her Why is she speaking so rudely"

Grandma sighed inwardly, she didn't have the heart to explain the reasoning behind it to her master.

She just took a storybook and soothed her master, “Madam, this storybook is newly bought, you haven't seen it yet.”

As expected, Old Madam Wen immediately took it and said, “The things Second Brother has been causing have made me unable to sleep or eat well. I haven't read my storybooks in days. Prepare a pot of flower tea and a plate of snacks for me. I'm going to enjoy reading properly, and please don't disturb me.”

"Yes, Madam," the nanny replied and retreated.

The old madam was still worried that someone would come to disturb her. She was overthinking things. After this, this courtyard probably wouldn't see anyone for ten days or half a month...

Many years ago, the old grandfather despised his wife for immersing herself in the world of flowers, wind, snow and moon every day. She didn't manage the household or educate her children, not even remotely resembling a virtuous and capable wife and mother.

Even in the backyard, he only went to a few of his concubines' houses, rarely coming over here.

Previously, the elder master often came to pay his respects and curry favor with the second master in order to exclude him. The mistress also served him attentively both in public and private.

Now that the threat of the two elders is gone, the entire Wen family belongs to the couple. Who would be willing to come and flatter an old woman anymore...

The poor old lady never knew, the son she didn't care about was the most filial, and the reason she was being held up and respected...

Let's not talk about how things are going with Wen's family. It's enough to say that Mr. Wen registered his household registration with the Cui family, which makes them a family in all but name.

But marriage isn't something to be so hasty about. Even if Mr. Wen doesn't mind, the Liu family wouldn't agree!

Immediately, the Old Master Liu and his sons took Mrs. Cui back home, picked up Mrs. Liu, and hurried to the manor to decorate the new bridal chamber and prepare the banquet.

There are lots of things to do!

Naturally, the Li family made arrangements for Mr. Wen. Li Lao Er took Mr. Wen's long-time attendant, Wen Hai, to the censorate office to ask for leave.

Li Zhensheng then took Mr. Wen to the cloth merchant and silver shop, buying dozens of pieces of fabric and jade hairpins, jade pendants, and other small ornaments.

By the time I returned to Suijintang, it was already dusk.

Although Zheng He had already returned to report, everyone still couldn't let go of their worry.

The village head and Mr. Zhao, along with a few others, had been impatiently waiting at the entrance of the village. When they finally saw Li's carriage returning, their faces lit up with joy.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wen! May love always conquer all!" The village head led the crowd in bowing and offering congratulations.

This prompted Mr. Wen to quickly return the favor, "Thank you, sir, for all your trouble."

"No effort, no effort, this is a great occasion!" Zhao Shu and the others couldn't stop laughing, "Such a good thing, it happens only eight or ten times a year!"

In the midst of their laughter, Li Laotai and others heard the commotion and came out to see what was happening.

Jia Yin ran forward and hugged Wen Xian's waist, giggling and shouting, "Master, Master, haha, you're going to be the groom!"

Mr. Wen pinched her chubby cheeks and smiled, "That's right, your master is going to marry your mistress."

"Well, well, let my aunt have a few more brothers and sisters for me to play with!" Jia Yin shouted loudly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Mr. Wen couldn't hold it in any longer, his face flushed red as if on fire.

"Alright, alright, Fu Niuer, stop teasing your master. Getting married is a big deal with lots to do, don't cause trouble!"

Still, it was Old Lady Li who stepped forward to rescue Mr. Wen. As they walked towards the courtyard, she instructed the village head and others, "Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui's wedding, our village must certainly celebrate with joy! We'll cover the cost of the banquet, everyone just needs to help out with the preparations."

"Just rest assured, Old Madam, we've got this!" A villager shouted loudly.

Then a group of people, including the villagers and several elders, gathered around the village head. They sat on the stone slabs at the entrance, laughing and discussing amongst themselves.

Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui's relationship was not easy to come by, the whole village knew it well.

Since you all went through hardships together and struggled to make a living, now that there is such a good outcome, everyone is happy for them!

This wedding banquet, we must swing our arms around and throw a truly lively and boisterous celebration!

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Huiniang, Liu's wife, and He Mamasan were already bustling around Mr. Wen.

Measure the size, cut the fabric, make at least four sets of new inside and outside linings, and add tensioner to the new shoes and socks.

The Liu and Cui families meant that the night is long and dreams can change. To prevent the Wen family from causing any more trouble, they decided to get married the day after tomorrow.

Thus, time became a little tight.

Luckily, there were many people at home. While chores were handled by villagers led by Zhang Luo, the wine and dishes were prepared by Tao Hongying, and clothes, socks, etc. were taken care of by Huiniang and others. Although busy, everything was in order.

In this way, Mr. Wen, the protagonist, is the most leisurely of all.

So he was given a new job, to pacify the children.

Unfortunately, JiaYin is also busy and has no time to cooperate with his "work".

She was busy sorting through the small vaults in the room, then dug out quite a few pearls. She called Dongmei to help her send them to the Hou Mansion... for separate burial arrangements for men and women.Two women one box, two men one box, four children one box.Finally, five boxes were placed together in the pit.Qiong's mother found a charred stick a...
