Chapter 44 Mingzhu Gets Married

Everyone felt a little depressed, wondering why Fang suddenly started to pay attention to Ye Mingzhu.

If someone wants to make a scene, naturally someone with the inside information will pull them away: "Ye Lao San is starting to collect pearls now. If you offend the Fang family, be careful that they won't accept your pearls."

"They dare?" the other party said fiercely, and then quickly asked in a low voice: "Has Ye Lao San really started collecting pearls?"

"How could this be false? My boss sold him all the pearls he collected two days ago."

"How's the price? I'll sell it to him next time."

Everyone told each other, said some auspicious words, and then went home.

Fang waited until everyone had left before handing Ye Mingzhu a box: "Mingzhu, this is the dowry your third uncle and I prepared for you. Do you like it?"

Ye Mingzhu opened it and saw a golden hairpin with a pattern of blooming flowers inside. She picked up the hairpin and found a ten-liang silver note underneath.

"Aunt San, this dowry is too expensive..."

Fang directly pressed Ye Mingzhu's hand: "Mingzhu, if you don't accept it, it means you think the dowry prepared by your uncle and aunt is too small."

Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Then I will wear this hairpin when I get married tomorrow."

It is sure to cause a new sensation.

In Yuanshan Village, many people wear silver jewelry, but few wear gold jewelry because it is too expensive.

The gold hairpin that Fang gave to Ye Mingzhu must be worth more than ten taels.

Even if it was a biological daughter, no family would prepare a dowry of more than twenty taels.

"Mingzhu, although the Jiang family was exiled here, Aunt Jiang knows medicine, Hongyu is also sensible, and the Jiang family has a wealth of wealth. Your blessings are still to come."

"We plan to send Yun Ping and Yun Li to school in town soon. If you're confident, let Yun An go with them."

Fang thought about it over the past two days and decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ye Mingzhu before she got married.

Informing Ye Mingzhu about the Jiang family's situation was to help her quickly become the wife of the Jiang family. Mentioning Ye Yun'an was to bring the two families closer together and make them as close as one family in the future.

"Thank you, Auntie San. I'll discuss this with Yun An after I'm done with these two days."

Ye Mingzhu prefers to let Ye Yunan be educated by Jiang Hongyu at home first. The Jiang family was once a prominent family in the capital, and Jiang Hongyu's knowledge should be better than that of the teacher in the town.

It’s enough as long as Fang’s meaning is conveyed.

The next day, just as Ye Mingzhu finished washing up, Fang came and asked Quanfu to comb Ye Mingzhu's hair.

The lucky person was invited by Fang from her natal family. She was Fang's cousin named Fang Xiaolan. This cousin's parents and parents-in-law were all alive. She had two children, a son and a daughter, a loving couple, and brothers and sisters who also got along well with each other.

"Mingzhu, this is my elder sister from my mother's family. You can just call her Second Aunt along with Yunping and the others."

Fang Xiaolan's husband's family is large but very poor. She and Fang Xiaolan have a good relationship from her parents' family, and she wants to take this opportunity to get closer to each other.

"Mingzhu's hair feels so smooth. Second aunt will definitely give you a beautiful hairstyle." Fang Xiaolan's words were full of compliments, but not annoying.

"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Fang." Ye Mingzhu smiled at Fang Xiaolan.

If Fang wanted to support her natal family, she would not stop her, but let her take the initiative. Sorry, she didn't have time to take care of so many non-blood-related relatives.

Fang Xiaolan didn't say anything else and concentrated on combing Ye Mingzhu's hair. Fang's expression remained unchanged and she watched with a smile from the side.

When everything was sorted out and the auspicious time was almost here, Ye Yun'an came in from outside and looked at Ye Mingzhu reluctantly: "Sister, I can't bear to leave you."

Fang burst out laughing and nodded at Ye Yun'an: "Your sister will marry next door, and we can see each other every day. Why are you reluctant to let her go? Why don't you go and wait outside the door and ask for a few more red envelopes for your brother-in-law."

Everyone in the room smiled kindly.

Ye Yun'an also blushed a little and looked at Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu nodded at him: "You can go out, I'll just have the aunts and sisters-in-law here to accompany me."

Ye Yun'an immediately ran out: "I'll go call Yunli. If my brother-in-law doesn't give me a red envelope, I won't let my sister get married."

Ye Mingzhu: ...He is truly my biological brother.

After a while, there was a noisy sound outside. It seemed that Ye Yun'an had gathered a group of brothers to wait at the door and ask for red envelopes.

Jiang Hongyu generously gave Ye Yunan a stack of red envelopes and asked him to be responsible for distributing them.

After Ye Yun'an distributed the food to everyone, he was about to open the door when Ye Yunshun suddenly called out, "Wait, Sister Mingzhu is the only girl in our Ye family. You have to prove that you can take good care of her in the future."

Jiang Hongyu sent out another round of red envelopes: "Brothers-in-law, can I pick up Mingzhu now?"

Ye Yun'an had already opened the door, and Ye Yunshun stood at the door: "It's not enough to just talk, you have to prove it with actual actions."

Ye Yun'an glared at him, but he still said confidently: "We can't let him take Sister Mingzhu away easily, otherwise what if he doesn't treat Sister Mingzhu well in the future?"

This actually makes damn sense.

Ye Yun'an looked at Jiang Hongyu with anticipation.

Jiang Hongyu laughed out loud: "How difficult is this?"

He asked everyone to step back a distance, lifted the hem of his clothes, and performed a set of boxing techniques, which stunned everyone.

Before anyone could react, he went to the corner, picked up a piece of wood, and broke it in two with force.

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

Ye Yunshun's legs were shaking a little. He swallowed and hid behind the crowd.

Jiang Hongyu clapped his hands: "Can I go in now?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Someone quickly reacted and surrounded him as he entered.

"Mingzhu, I'm here to pick you up." Jiang Hongyu walked directly to Ye Mingzhu, stretched out his hand, and picked her up in a princess hug.

The crowd watching screamed in surprise. Lin was so angry that she wanted to open her mouth, but Fang covered her mouth with her hand. She struggled hard, but other aunts helped to hold her down.

Ye Yunjian, who was waiting by the door, saw this scene. His eyes darkened, and when Jiang Hongyu passed by him with Ye Mingzhu in his arms, he said, "Jiang Hongyu, you must treat my sister well."

Jiang Hongyu glanced at him and nodded seriously.

Among the third branch of the Ye family, I guess only this cousin truly cares about Ye Mingzhu.

Outside the door was the sedan chair specially prepared by Jiang Hongyu. He gave a lot of reward money, so the sedan chair went around the whole village before returning to the Ye family.

Jiang Hongyu kicked lightly outside the sedan door. Ye Mingzhu didn't know what he meant, so she kicked it tentatively. Jiang Hongyu then reached out and led her out.

With the help of Jiang Hongyu, Ye Mingzhu stepped over the brazier and came to the main hall to start the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, she was sent to the bridal chamber.

A group of people followed into the bridal chamber as if to join in the fun. Jiang Hongyu lifted up the veil with a weighing rod. When Ye Mingzhu looked up and saw so many people, she was startled and lowered her head subconsciously.

Jiang Hongyu chuckled, took two wine glasses from the table, and handed one to Ye Mingzhu. Someone reminded her, "The newlyweds drink the wedding wine."

Ye Mingzhu looked into Jiang Hongyu's eyes and drank the wedding wine.

Jiang Hongyu took the wine glass and put it back on the table, then sat next to Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu looked at him in confusion. Someone came up and cut a lock of hair from each of their heads and tied them together with a red string: "The ceremony is over!"
