The next day was Xia Chunmei's wedding day.

The chicken, duck, and fish dishes were delivered to Baili Xiao yesterday morning. Since breakfast is served at a wedding, Xia Mingshi and others started preparing yesterday afternoon and got up early this morning to get busy again.

At Chen Shi (7-9 AM), the Wang family father and son arrived to offer their congratulations.

A moment later, Butler Jin arrived on time with Jin Wenyuan, Xu Qingfeng, and their families.

Xu Jiamin was originally afraid that Xia Chunmei would have inappropriate thoughts about Jin Yuntian, so she was very unfriendly to her. She never expected that Xia Chunmei would be getting married now, and she was wearing the most expensive headdress in the whole county.

Xu Jiamin felt envious but also a little guilty.

"Miss Xia, congratulations." After saying that, he took out a box. "This is a gift I bought for you with my own private money. I was wrong before, please forgive me, Miss Xia."

This time, Xia Chunmei felt that Xu Jiamin had come to apologize sincerely.

"I also made mistakes, Miss Xu, please don't be angry with me. Thank you for the gift."

The happiest people were Xu Qingfeng and his wife, who saw that their daughter and Xia Chunmei had truly reconciled.

Madam Xu smiled and said, "Miss Xia is a year younger than you and she's already married. You can't delay any longer."

When the topic of marriage came up, Xu Jiamin blushed immediately, and the image of that handsome and refined man came to mind.

Xu Jiamin is already sixteen years old. In this era, it is very rare for someone of this age not to be married.

Seeing that Xu Jiamin had sincerely apologized, Xia Chunmei added, "Miss Xu, what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."

Xu Jiamin's appearance suggests that she is not destined to be a legal wife. Judging from her affection for Jin Yuntian, she will likely become his concubine in the future.

However, she has a vertical line between her eyebrows and a small mole in her marital palace, so her future marriage will likely be extremely bumpy.

Just then, Xia Hongfen came in and called everyone to go eat.

Today's dishes were all cooked by Xia Mingshi and Chen Jinlian, mainly fish, and they smelled incredibly delicious.

The fish wasn't fishy at all, and the lean meat slices were tender and smooth, not dry at all.

The villagers exclaimed: No wonder they can make money by hosting banquets, the food is so delicious!

At the hour of Si (9-11 AM), Baili Xiao rode a tall horse, wearing a big red flower on his chest and dressed in wedding attire to welcome the bride.

Xia Qiumei, Xia Dongmei, Xia Ping, and Xia Fengshou all blocked the doorway, preventing Baili Xiao from entering.

They had originally intended to make things difficult for Baili Xiao, but upon seeing him, they were so frightened that they voluntarily made way for him.

Xia Chunmei had no brothers, so Xiao Quanfu carried her to the wedding car in the end.

Originally, Xiao Quangui was supposed to carry it, but Xiao Quanfu insisted on carrying it himself.

After seeing Xia Chunmei off in her wedding car, Xiao Quanfu said, "Sister, if your husband treats you badly, or if their family bullies you, don't be afraid. Just come back to me, and I'll get revenge for you! I'll take care of you! As long as I have food to eat, you'll have food to eat too! Sister, do you understand?"

Xia Chunmei was very touched: "Yes, I'll remember that. I'm counting on you."

"Don't worry, sis, I'll always be there for you!"

Baili Xiao, standing beside the wedding carriage, immediately darkened his face. What did he mean by saying this to his wife on their joyous day?

If it weren't for the fact that he's my wife's brother, I would have kicked him!

The wedding car slowly started moving. Seeing the car move, Xia Dongmei suddenly burst into tears and chased after it, crying, "Big sister, waaaah, big sister, don't go, waaaah..."

Xia Qiumei's eyes were also red, and she cried out, "Big sister, I promise I'll listen to you from now on, I'll never talk back to you again, please don't go..."

The sisters' loud crying brought tears to the eyes of several neighboring aunties as well.

Xia Hongfen wiped away her tears and pulled the two sisters back: "Silly children, your sister is getting married and will be back in a few days. Don't stop her, or you'll miss the auspicious time."

Xia Hongfen couldn't pull the two of them off by herself, so Xia Mingshi quickly came forward to help, saying as she pulled, "This is great news, stop crying. You'll have your brother-in-law protecting you from now on, you should be happy."

Hearing her two adopted sisters crying inside the wedding car, Xia Chunmei felt a lump in her throat.

With a loud "dong!" of a gong, someone outside shouted, "Raise the sedan chair..."

The carriage slowly started moving, accompanied by the sounds of suona horns, gongs, drums, and firecrackers.

After a bumpy half-hour journey, Xia Chunmei finally arrived at the doorstep of Bailixiao's county town.

Baili Xiao had few relatives and no elders, so the large courtyard seemed much quieter compared to Xia Chunmei's wedding banquet.

They could only bow and kowtow before the memorial tablets.

The matchmaker shouted, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Second bow to the high..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before he could even utter the word "tang," a woman burst in, screaming, "You can't get married! I won't allow you to get married!"
