Chapter 110 Wedding 2◇

◎Jinjiang exclusive◎

: Just a few days after Zhou Jin and Mu Qingni expressed their feelings to each other, Emperor Cheng Qian issued an order to set a date for the wedding of Zhou Yu and Zhu Xi.

When Zhou Jin saw this, he felt that as a brother, he couldn't fall behind his sister, so he took ten jars of osmanthus wine to the hot spring villa that day, chatted with the Duke of Zhenguo for half a day, invited him out of the mountain, and helped him propose marriage to the Marquis of Pingxi.

The Duke of Zhenguo has done almost everything in his life, but he has never been a matchmaker. After hearing Zhou Jin say that being a matchmaker can not only bring two families together, but also give him a thank-you gift after the match is made, and Zhou Jin promised that after the match is made, he would give him a pair of glass mirrors, which is guaranteed to be a novel style that is not found in the whole of Dayan, the Duke of Zhenguo immediately became interested in being a matchmaker!

He also felt that making friends with this rising military general, the new commander of the Longxiong Camp, would not be bad for his family. Moreover, from what Zhou Jin said, he and the little girl from the Mu family had already had a secret crush on each other. His role as a matchmaker was just a formality and it was a job that was sure to make money!

So I agreed readily!

"Hahaha, you have good taste!" The Duke of Zhenguo patted Zhou Jin's shoulder with a slightly sour tone:

"I've always thought that Qing Ni is a great girl! That Kyoto kid is so blind for not snatching her away sooner rather than later!

You actually let such a good girl stay unmarried until she’s almost nineteen?! Alas! It’s a pity that my grandson is more than ten years younger than this girl, otherwise, how could you have gotten your turn?

The Duke of Zhenguo said this with a smile, and then thought, this boy from the Zhou family is already so capable, and now he is going to be Mu Feng's son-in-law, and his wife is so capable, so his future prospects will be even more limitless!

Therefore, his desire to make friends with Zhou Jin became even stronger, and he thought to himself, no, he must let his grandson play with this kid more. When he dies in the future, his grandson will feel at ease with such a friend to help him!

Therefore, not only did he readily accept the matchmaker's job, he also hugged Zhou Jin and refused to let him leave, insisting that he take a hot spring bath with him and chat for half the night.

So Zhou Jin diligently waited on the old man for half the night...

The next morning, the Duke of Zhenguo arrived at the Pingxi Marquis's residence with gifts...

Mu Feng thought that the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to see him about something, and since he was his elder, he hurriedly came out to greet him respectfully, and personally went to help the trembling old Duke, and helped him to the outer study where he usually met guests.

"Hahaha, uncle, why bother coming here in person? If you have anything to say, just call me over and tell me. I must be exhausted after walking so far!"

Mu Feng poured a bowl of tea for the Duke of Zhenguo himself and said with a smile while standing beside him.

"This matter absolutely requires the old man to come here in person," the Duke of Zhenguo also said with a smile, "How can a matchmaker ask someone to come to his own house to propose?"

Mu Feng...

Seeing the Duke of Zhenguo looking at him with a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face, which was as disgusting as it could be, after hearing what he said, he thought that the Duke of Zhenguo was here to act as a matchmaker for him, so he stopped smiling immediately, snatched the tea bowl from the Duke of Zhenguo's hand, and put it back on the table.

He angrily drove people away and said:

"Old Duke! I think you are getting old and confused. Although my wife wants to divorce me, I have never agreed!

Why are you playing matchmaker at our house at this time? Go back to your hot spring villa and soak in your hot spring pool!"

Mu Feng said this as he vigorously supported the Duke of Zhenguo, as if he wanted to send him away quickly...

Duke Zhenguo...

I couldn't help but hold on to my crutches beside the stool...

Then... he waved it towards Mu Feng!

"You... you little brat, you actually dared to chase me away? You think I can't beat you, right?! Back when you were still wearing open-crotch pants, you ate so much of my candy. Now that I'm old, you treat me like this. Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?"

Mu Feng secretly complained...

I ate a few pieces of your candy back then, and you've been talking about it for almost my entire life! You keep bringing it up again and again, is that funny?!

But I did eat someone else's candy when I was a kid, and I did get spanked by the Duke of Zhenguo. He also taught me horse riding, wrestling, and martial arts.

So even when he scolded me, he would always listen with a smile...

But today was different. This shameless old man was here to act as a matchmaker for him and to break up his marriage. Therefore, Mu Feng was particularly stubborn as he dodged the Duke of Zhenguo's cane and retorted:

"You're just an old idiot who comes here to ruin other people's marriages. I'll chase you away every time you come here!"

Duke Zhenguo...

Just now he was so angry about Mu Xiaozi chasing him away that he didn't hear clearly what Mu Feng said, but now he heard clearly the words scolding him for being a badass...

I feel like something is wrong?!

"I came here with good intentions to be your daughter's matchmaker, but how did that end up ruining someone's marriage?! Explain this to me!"

The Duke of Zhenguo said angrily!

Mu Feng… eh?! To be a matchmaker for his daughter?! Not for him?!

It was no wonder Mu Feng misunderstood. Over the years, apart from Emperor Cheng Qian mentioning a few times that he wanted his daughter Qing Ni to be his grandson's wife, no matchmaker had ever come to the gate of their Pingxi Marquis Mansion!

…

A moment later,

When Mu Feng heard the Duke of Zhenguo say that Zhou Jin had asked him to come and propose marriage to his daughter, he instinctively refused.

"No! That guy is too cunning! My daughter won't like him!"

The Duke of Zhenguo...

Are you sure? Your daughter seems to have already agreed!

"In my opinion, you should go ask Qingni before you say this!"

Mu Feng...

Because Mu Qingni personally nodded her head, even if Mu Feng was no longer willing to marry Zhou Jin, he had to agree to the marriage because he had promised his daughter to let her choose her own husband!

After sending the Duke of Zhenguo away, Mu Feng couldn't help but ask his daughter,

"That kid is a sneaky thief, his family background is not good, and his looks are just so-so. He's not even as good-looking as your father and me. What is it about him that you like?!"

"I think he's good in every way! I just want to marry him!" Mu Qingni said directly.

Mu Feng...

…

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-first year of the Chengqian reign, the Zhou family presented a grand gift to the Pingxi Marquis's residence. Everyone waiting on the street thought, "This Zhou family is a small family. If the old mansion they relied on was defeated, how could they possibly be any more powerful?" If it weren't for the young man's military exploits and the mansion awarded by the Emperor, the whole family would probably still be living in that small courtyard west of the city!

As the saying goes, rich families marry their daughters off, while poor families marry their wives. I'm afraid that Marquis Pingxi had no choice but to choose such a boy from a poor family as a son-in-law for his daughter!

大燕第一女战□□头虽响，但对女子来说却未必是个好名声，试问哪个豪门大族愿意娶这么个厉害儿媳妇？ ！娶回去一天揍着自家儿子玩儿么？ ！一家老幼一起上都打不过她一个，这日子还怎么过？还怎么夫为妻纲？怎么摆当婆婆的款儿？

I think Lord Mu also knew this, so he chose this kid from the Zhou family!

Therefore, everyone agreed that the gift given by the Zhou family should not be much better!

result……

When the betrothal gifts arrived, everyone saw that the gifts included not only a variety of betrothal cakes, seafood, three kinds of meat, four kinds of Jing fruit, four kinds of candies, and tea gifts—all of the finest quality. Furthermore, the Zhou family's betrothal gift to the Mu family was a whopping ten thousand taels of gold! That's one hundred thousand taels of silver! And that wasn't all. In the middle of winter, someone from the Zhou family had somehow managed to catch a pair of geese. They were plump and squawking, and they placed them at the head of the betrothal gifts.

This betrothal gift is one of the best even among princes and nobles!

Furthermore, the young men accompanying the Zhou family boy to the betrothal were not to be underestimated. Not only did the future brother-in-law, the fifth imperial grandson, come, but also the twelfth prince, the eldest princess's grandson, the grandson of Prince Kang, the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, Commander Lei's eldest son, the two grandsons of the late Lord Zhou, and so on. More than a dozen young men from prominent families, all dressed up in finery, rode on tall horses, and followed the overjoyed Zhou family boy towards the Pingxi Marquis's residence...

Everyone... Ugh!!

This guy looks so excited, he doesn't seem unhappy about this marriage, does he?! Is this guy born different? He just loves Yaksha Slayer?

Also, this guy gave so much betrothal gifts to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion and got married before his sister. Could it be that he stole all of his sister's dowry?

Everyone was worried. The Zhou family's daughter was marrying the fifth grandson of the emperor. Even if the fifth grandson had plenty of money and no shortage of dowry, if the dowry was too shabby, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up in front of the princesses and sisters-in-law, right?

Moreover, the betrothal gift of the Zhou family boy is so grand, how much betrothal gift must the fifth grandson of the emperor have received!

Everyone still remembers the grand occasion when the Crown Princess married into the royal family, so they are all looking forward to the betrothal gift for the fifth grandson of the emperor...

…

After Zhou Jin finished the betrothal ceremony, the wedding ceremony was immediately held. The wedding ceremony was even more lively than the betrothal ceremony. The Duke of Zhenguo, Prince Kang and other bigwigs came with their families. After the banquet at the Mu family, they came to the Zhou family...

The eldest princess was personally in charge of the Pingxi Marquis's residence, helping Madam Su, who had just returned from the nunnery, arrange Mu Qingni's wedding. She didn't have time to come, so she sent her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson's wife...

However, although there were many people coming and most of them were VIPs, the Zhou family had already made preparations. The hot spring villa was closed for three days for Zhou Jin's wedding. The cooks and male servants were brought over by Zhou Luo. The entire Zheng family and the Li family also came to help.

As for the male guests, Zhou Zelin, along with the Zhou Po brothers and the four uncles and nephews of the Zheng family, entertained them. As for the female guests, in addition to the Bais and Lius, Zhou Jin also made a special trip to the Zhenguo Mansion to invite the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, Yang, to help...

The Zhou family's wedding was a grand affair, one that even Mu Feng couldn't find fault with. After tearfully escorting his wife to see off his daughter, who hadn't shed a single tear, he hurriedly and attentively helped the weeping, almost heartbroken Madam Su to rest. He planned to take advantage of Madam Su's recent days of weeping and exhaustion to make a concerted effort to keep her in the mansion and prevent her from returning to the nunnery...

As a result, just when Madam Su was getting herself into a good mood, the maid outside came to report that his concubine Yao was ill...

Mu Feng...

"If he's sick, go get a doctor! I'm not a doctor, it's no use for you to come and tell me!

Also, who told you to enter the lady's yard without permission? Get out of here right now!

Mu Feng shouted angrily! The maidservant heard this and quickly retreated with a pale face!

But Madam Su's face also fell, and the smile she had just had disappeared. She directly drove Mu Feng out and said coldly:

"Don't worry, I'll go back to the nunnery after Qingni returns home. Anyway, my daughter is married now, and from now on, we promise not to bother you anymore!"

After saying that, he closed the door!

Mu Feng was locked outside the door...

…

Mu Feng and his wife had another falling out and became as cold as ice, but Zhou Jin and his wife's bridal chamber was as warm as fire...

With the help of the Zhou Po brothers, Zhou Jin pretended to be drunk and escaped the crowd's forced drinking. After washing up briefly, he walked towards Mu Qingni, who was sitting on the bed. Mu Qingni had also washed up with the help of several maids. Zhou Jin came over and hugged her in his arms. Seeing the tip of her nose slightly sweaty, he couldn't help but kiss her first. Seeing Mu Qingni's face turn red instantly, but she pursed her lips and pretended to be calm, he couldn't help but laugh out loud...

"Are you hungry?" He asked with a gentle smile, resting his head against hers.

"Not hungry!" Mu Qingni also replied with a smile: "Madam just gave me a few bites of snacks."

A few bites of snacks were certainly not enough to fill Mu Qingni, who had a good appetite, but her whole mind was now focused on the man in front of her with hot breath, so how could she care about being hungry?

"Well, even if we're hungry, let's just endure it for now, okay? Because... I really can't wait any longer..."

The scorching man breathed scorching air, whispering in her ear. Then, with a force, he hugged her and rolled her onto the bed beside him...

…

This night was truly...

The red candles swayed, and were overturned by the red waves, rising and falling, evenly matched! !
