Three more years have passed. Xiaoyue's egg business has established a stable delivery channel, and her net income each month is around one hundred taels of silver. In addition to selling eggs, she has also expanded into selling culled chickens and ducks.

The clothing shops in town also became popular, with their monthly income increasing from ten taels of silver to thirty taels of silver.

It was the sixth day of the second lunar month again. Li Lei and Lu Xiaomei, Xu Fanyuan and Bai Hongmei were getting married together. In the morning, Xiaoyue took Lu Xiaomei to town, but she didn't even get to eat at the banquet.

They picked up Bai Hongmei from town and took her to Xu Fanyuan's house.

Both sides were bustling with activity. After Liang Qi dropped the person off at Xu Fanyuan's house, he and Xiaoyue drove the donkey cart back to town. On the way, Liang Qi said to Xiaoyue, "My father is also urging us to get married. When are we getting married?"

Xiaoyue looked at Liang Qi and smiled, saying, "You'll be in charge of decorating my five big brick houses. Once they're finished, we'll get married."

"No, you're marrying me, not becoming my son-in-law."

"That's right, I married you. I don't want you to build the house, I just want you to decorate it, and you still disagree," Xiaoyue said somewhat unreasonably.

"This isn't right, my dad..."

"Your father..." Xiaoyue smiled, "It's all thanks to you finding your father a stepmother, otherwise your father wouldn't have agreed to let you marry... marry me." She was crying one moment and laughing the next.

"Xiaoyue!" Liang Qi was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder, but Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh.

'It was on his way to deliver eggs that Liang Qi picked up a slender, elegant old lady and arranged for her to stay at his home. After a while, his father and the old lady fell in love.'

It was still through Xu's mother who acted as matchmaker for the two, arranging their marriage.

When Liang Qi saw Xiaoyue, he knew she was thinking about her father. He looked around and, seeing no one else, and as he drove the carriage through this secluded spot, he softly said:

"Actually, I didn't pick up that old lady. She used to be my mother's maid. She came looking for me, so I brought her home. My father also knows that woman."

So marrying my father is perfectly normal; don't overthink it.

"Really? Has something happened to your Shiwei?" Xiaoyue asked with concern.

"There are no Shiwei left now. Two years ago, the Shiwei were wiped out by the Khitan, which is why my mother and her maid had nowhere else to go but to come and seek refuge with me."

"That's a good match, it's a wonderful thing," Xiaoyue sighed.

"Then you should definitely not disturb their wedding. I heard your stepmother is pregnant again."

Liang Qi finally fell silent. Xiaoyue then realized she had gone too far and said, "Why don't you discuss a date with Uncle Liang? Once it's set, we can get married while we're not too busy right now."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qi's face lit up with a broad smile.

...

On the first day of the third lunar month, the day of Xiaoyue's wedding to Liangqi, the villagers arrived at Xiaoyue's house early in the morning. Xiaoyue was married in the old house, and a donkey cart circled around Niukou Village before being delivered to the five-room tile-roofed house next door.

Xu's mother was in charge of entertaining the women in the village, Yang's sister-in-law was in charge of the clothing shop, Lu Xiaomei was in charge of the food for the villagers, and Li Qianqian sat in the house to keep Xiaoyue company.

Before six o'clock, Xiaoyue put on the bright red wedding dress that Li Qianqian had made for her, and Li Qianqian did her bridal makeup. Xiaoyue sat in the room with Li Qianqian.

Xiaoyue wanted to go down to the ground to see the guests in the courtyard, but Li Qianqian grabbed her arm. On the day of the wedding, the bride is not allowed to walk around in her parents' home.

A moment later, Xu's mother asked Li Qianqian, "Are the scallions and strips of meat ready?"

Li Qianqian smiled and said to Xu's mother, "Everything is ready."

A moment later, Lu Xiaomei came into the room again and asked, "Have you hidden the embroidered shoes properly?"

Li Qianqian added, "Hide it well."

A moment later, Xu's mother opened the door and brought in breakfast. Li Qianqian, holding the rice bowl, said, "Have some rice."

Xiaoyue ate a couple of bites, but with something on her mind, she couldn't eat anymore. Seeing that she hadn't touched her food, Xu's mother smiled and pointed at Xiaoyue, saying, "You're leaving all your wealth at your parents' home! That's right, your parents' home is your own home." She then left with a smile.

Xiaoyue's family has two houses, and fifteen tables are set up in the courtyard. There are people cooking, preparing food, and preparing wine. Everyone is doing their job, and everything is in good order.

Suddenly a group of children ran into Xiaoyue's room: "The groom is here! The groom is here!"

Just as Xiaoyue was about to get out of bed, Li Qianqian pressed her down again and said, "You stay on the kang (heated brick bed), I'll go take a look."

The groom scattered a handful of red envelopes before pushing open the door and entering the house. When Xiaoyue saw the groom dressed in red silk, it was the first time she had ever seen a groom dressed in such a festive color.

A beautiful woman, as lovely as jade, with eyes like stars, shimmered, reflecting only a small figure, Xiaoyue, dressed entirely in red.

Liang Qi pursed his lips and said to Xiaoyue, "I'll hug you."

He picked up Xiaoyue in one swift motion, and someone opened the door outside the house for Liang Qi. In one breath, Liang Qi carried Xiaoyue onto the donkey cart, and Liang Qi followed Xiaoyue onto the cart.

The villagers shouted with laughter, "Riding horses!"

"The groom is in the car!"

"Oh...the groom shamelessly got into the car with the bride."

"Get down, groom, get down now!"

Li Lei quickly drove the donkey cart out of the yard, and the shouts gradually faded into the distance.

In the car, Liang Qi held Xiaoyue's hand and said, "We're finally going to be together for the rest of our lives."

Xiaoyue hummed in response, her face involuntarily turning red with embarrassment.

Li Lei drove the car to the entrance of the five-room brick house. Liang Qi carried the bride out of the car, and hand in hand, led her across the brazier.

Upon arriving at the main hall, after paying respects to heaven and earth, Xiaoyue entered the bridal chamber.

Li Qianqian was already waiting here. She buried the dates, peanuts, longans, and chestnuts in the four corners of the quilt, and then washed her hands with the water that had been brought over with scallions.

Li Qianqian left the house, instructing as she went, "Wait for Liang Qi to come back, and don't do anything rash."

The moon was high in the sky when Liang Qi returned to the house. However, Liang Qi had drunk too much, and Xiao Yue took care of him until dawn.

On the first day of their marriage, Xiaoyue chased Liang Qi all over the kang (a heated brick bed) with a broom. Seeing this, Li Qianqian, Li Lei, Xu Fanyuan, and Bai Hongmei, who were waiting to watch the fun in the morning, all burst out laughing.

Xiaoyue blushed deeply, hurriedly dropped the broom handle, found clothes for Liang Qi, helped him change, and then rushed to open the door to let the onlookers in.

Lu Xiaomei had already prepared the meal. After the family ate, Liang Qi and Xiaoyue went to Uncle Liang's house to pay their respects.

Uncle Liang gave Xiaoyue a jade bracelet, which he said belonged to Liang Qi's mother.

Liang Qi's stepmother embroidered a silk handkerchief for Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue made two pairs of shoes for the two elderly people. Liang Qi said a few words to Uncle Liang, and then Liang Qi led Xiaoyue out and back home.

Liang Qi said to Xiaoyue, "How about we set up a sales point in the county as well?"

Xiaoyue nodded: "Okay, from now on you're in charge, I'll listen to you."
