Who wouldn't want a beautiful woman by their side?

However, it was Mo Jiuzhong's big day, and it was normal for him to be overwhelmed by the joy. Naturally, no one went to cause trouble.

Zhao Qingyang followed Qingyi and the others, walking at the back of the wedding procession.

They didn't seem to have any discomfort with the idea of ​​being a couple for life.

Yan Fenglou then moved closer.

"Brother Qingyang, is this 'lust makes one lose their mind' referring to Brother Chonglou?"

If someone says in front of so many people that they will only marry one wife in their lifetime, it would be quite embarrassing if they broke that promise later.

Which official's son doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Wouldn't it be too shameful to only marry one?

Zhao Qingyang remained noncommittal. There was no need for him to discuss marriage with them, after all, he was still an "old" bachelor.

Besides, the Zhao family doesn't allow concubines, so they naturally have to carefully select their wives.

No rush, no rush.

After the imperial examination, I reckon my doorstep will be worn down by matchmakers.

Let's just watch the show first.

Yan Fenglou was a little unhappy because he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Zhao Qingyang glanced at him.

"Brother Yan, have you forgotten our Zhao family's ancestral precepts, which state that men should not take concubines and women should not become concubines?"

Putting aside everything else, my grandfather, my father, my two uncles, and my cousins ​​all only have one wife and live very prosperous lives.

They also had a lot of children.

What is the purpose of taking a concubine? Isn't it to have more offspring?

Since the legal wife can bear children, why take a concubine? There's no need.

"A concubine is the source of chaos in a family."

After being rebuked by Zhao Qingyang, Yan Fenglou pouted. Well, his father had quite a few concubines too.

There were many illegitimate children in the family, and each of them spent their days scheming to win the emperor's favor.

That person is so cunning, it's like a sieve, it's really annoying.

Thinking about it, if he were to take many concubines in the future, wouldn't his harem become chaotic?

Then think about it: if you only marry one wife and keep the backyard clean, wouldn't life be much easier?

The key point is that having fewer children means less money is needed.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is indeed the case.

Yan Fenglou's eyes lit up.

I jogged a few steps to catch up with the Zhao brothers and continued rambling on.

Zhao Qingyang can now respond to others' chatter with a "hum" and "yes," while the other person is lost in their own thoughts.

When the bride arrives at home, she steps over a fire basin, bows to heaven and earth, and enters the bridal chamber.

Upon arriving at the bridal chamber, everyone crowded around, eager to see the bride's face.

What kind of stunning beauty could make Mo Jiuzhong publicly swear to be with her for life?

The moment the veil was lifted, and Yan Meiru, who had been keeping her head down, looked up, time seemed to stand still.

My goodness, this bride is so beautiful!

Most importantly, her makeup didn't feature that deathly pale face, but rather her signature rosy cheeks.

This makeup looks so natural, and it even highlights the owner's best features.

The women who saw it went crazy, all wanting to know who did their makeup.

The men were practically speechless; no wonder this young man could make such a solemn vow. Marrying this bride was definitely worthwhile.

Those who had met Yan Meiru before thought to themselves, "Why does this bride seem like a completely different person?"

If I had known that Miss Yan was so beautiful, I would have asked my elders to propose marriage long ago.

How could we let Mo Jiuzhong get away with this?

Some people have also heard that Yan Meiru is exceptionally talented but has an average appearance.

Nowadays, if someone has an average appearance, that's considered ordinary. So what kind of person is extraordinary?

Rumors are not to be believed.

Even more contemptible was the second young master of the Chen family, who didn't cherish the young lady from a respectable family, but instead chose to debase himself by having a mistress.

He deserved to miss out on such a wonderful girl.

At this moment, the one whose heart was most stirred was Mo Jiuzhong.

On the day he rescued Yan Meiru, he didn't even notice what the girl looked like; he only remembered her eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? Clean, clear, and when they looked at you, it was as if you were the only person in the world.

Seeing his wife so beautiful and charming, Mo Jiuzhong was so excited that his hands trembled.

However, she still managed to control her trembling hands and drink the nuptial wine.

After drinking the nuptial wine and undergoing a series of nagging instructions and rituals by the matchmaker, the entire wedding ceremony was considered complete.

All that's left is the wedding night.

That's not urgent, I still need to go out and offer toasts.

Mo Jiuzhong ordered someone to bring some food to the bride and told her to rest and remove her makeup.

Only then did they reluctantly leave the new house.

At this moment, Mo Jiuzhong's mouth was stretched into a wide grin.

All his joy was written on his face; he was clearly extremely satisfied with his wife.

In a moment of impulse, I got drunk while toasting someone.

The help they offered to fend off drinks was useless.

Since the groom is drunk, we can only send him back to the bridal chamber.

That's great, we can skip the wedding night pranks.

Not to mention, they secretly went over to eavesdrop.

However, they are all smart people, and retribution is not far away. Today they made a scene at someone else's wedding, and tomorrow when they get married, others will make a scene even worse.

The groom, who was said to be completely drunk, was being served hangover soup by his bride.

However, if one doesn't open their eyes so wide and stare intently at their wife, the temperature in the bridal chamber might not be so high.

Mo Jiuzhong was a little drunk, but not to the point of being completely intoxicated.

After drinking the hangover soup, the effects of the alcohol gradually wore off.

After the banquet, Zhao Qingyang and his brother went to find their father, and the three of them went home together.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Minggeng glanced at his two eldest sons.

"Sigh, I wonder when you two brats will get married and let me hold my grandson."

Zhao Qingbei glanced at her father and said, "I'm still young, there's no rush."

The implication is that you need to tell your brother about this.

Zhao Qingyang patted his younger brother on the head.

"Father, have you forgotten that we have already separated our families?"

If we get married, we'll also have to move out and live separately.

Even if you have a grandson, you won't have many opportunities to hold him.

Zhao Minggeng was almost driven mad by his unfilial son.

"You're the eldest, so even if we split up, you'll still be the one to take care of me in my old age."

"What moving house? You're all staying at home!"

Zhao Qingyang revealed a devilish smile.

"Dad, have you forgotten that the house you live in now was bought by my sister? What does it have to do with you?"

If you ask me, the fact that the three of us have the opportunity to live there is all thanks to our grandparents.

How dare you say that we should live in your sister's house with our wives and children in the future?

When we get married, we will naturally need to buy a separate house and move out.

"It's impossible for me to stay in my sister's house and never leave."

Zhao Minggeng was speechless after being talked to by his son, but he refused to lose face.
