The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Jinghu Academy was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

Besides Xiao Tao and her friends at Qinghelou, Lao Gao, Chen Xingzhou, and Ziyue's parents were all helping out at Jinghu Academy, busy preparing ingredients in the kitchen.

A magnificent carriage stopped outside Jinghu Academy. Chu Hanlin and Lu Lingying arrived at Jinghu Academy and saw the wedding venue that had been decorated. Their joy was evident in their eyes. The couple smiled at each other and nodded repeatedly.

Upon seeing them, Chu Peiran quickly stepped forward and greeted them with a smile, "Father, Mother, you've finally arrived."

Upon seeing this, Qin Luo smiled and walked over to greet them, "Uncle, Aunt!"

Chu Peiran introduced with a smile: "Father, this is Master Qin from Longhu Temple. I met Qing'er thanks to his help. He was also helping with this wedding."

Chu Hanlin bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Daoist Qin, for your help to my Peiran. Originally, it should have been my wife and I who were in charge of the wedding. We are so sorry that we only just arrived at Jinghu Academy now."

Qin Luo knew that Chu Hanlin held a high position in the court and was usually very busy, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, we are all friends of Brother Chu. You have come from afar, so please come inside and rest. You don't need to worry about the wedding."

Lu Lingying said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Master Qin!"

"Hahaha."

Chu Peiran and Qin Luo exchanged a smile.

In the kitchen, Wu Shashen was frying fish. He handed two freshly fried small fish to Xiao Tuanzi and Lin Jiaer, and said in a loud voice, "How do you think it tastes?"

"It smells nice."

"Crispy."

"tasty."

Little Dumpling and Lin Jia'er nodded with smiles.

DouDou raised an eyebrow, "You guys come and try the crispy pork."

Xiao Tao chuckled, "Come and try my pickled chicken feet while you're at it."

"Here I am!"

Little Dumpling and Lin Jia'er ran over happily.

People don't want them to taste the food; they just like them, so they call them whenever there's something delicious to eat.

In the tea room, Lu Lingying handed the groom's clothes to Chu Peiran and said gently, "Peiran, you must treat Qing'er well in the future. If you have children in the future, and you are busy, your mother can come and help you take care of the children."

Chu Peiran smiled and said, "I understand!"

......

Before you knew it, it was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the early morning, the mountains are shrouded in mist.

In the backyard of Longhu Temple, Jin Yan and Cai Xia were drinking porridge. Qin Luo said softly, "Zi Yue and I will go to Jinghu Academy to help out first. You can come and have a feast with Master later."

"Okay, senior brother!"

Jin Yan and Cai Xia nodded at the same time.

"Jia'er, let's go!"

The little dumpling ran ahead with Lin Jia'er, while Qin Luo and Zi Yue followed at a leisurely pace.

At Jinghu Academy, the atmosphere was lively and festive. In the martial arts arena, Chu Peiran, dressed in bright red, was approached by a little girl with Lin Jia'er. The little girl grinned and said, "Brother Chu, congratulations on your marriage! Hurry up and hand over the red envelope!"

"Okay, okay."

Chu Peiran took out two small red envelopes.

After receiving the red envelope, Lin Jia'er beamed with joy and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

"Hehe, is there any more?"

The little dumpling winked playfully.

Chu Peiran took out two small red envelopes from his pocket and said with a smile, "I'll use the rest of the red envelopes when I pick up the bride. I'll give you more red envelopes when I come back."

"All right."

The little dumpling nodded happily.

"You two will come with me to Baiyun Town to fetch the bride later. You'll get plenty of wedding candy and red envelopes then."

"I want to attend the wedding banquet."

"You'll be full!"

"no problem!"

The little dumpling nodded readily.

Zi Yue looked at them and smiled gently, "Senior brothers, I'll go help in the kitchen, you two go ahead with your work."

"Go."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Chu Peiran walked up to Qin Luo and greeted him with a bow, saying, "Brother Dao, when I go to Baiyun Town to fetch my bride, I'll have to trouble you with things at Jinghu Academy."

Qin Luo asked curiously, "You didn't prepare a wedding sedan chair?"

"I plan to carry Qing'er back on my back."

"That's a good idea."

As the sun rose, Chu Peiran led the wedding procession to Baiyun Town to fetch his bride. In the procession, Wu Shashen played the suona, while Xiao Tuanzi and Lin Jiaer carried flower baskets.

Guests arrived at Jinghu Academy one after another.

The first to arrive was Xiong Shan, who brought two jars of wine to Mirror Lake Academy. Upon seeing Qin Luo, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Master Qin, am I a little early?"

Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "It's not early. They are Chu Peiran's parents, and this is Xiong Shan, the mountain god of Ziyun Peak."

Upon hearing that it was the Mountain God, Chu Hanlin quickly cupped his hands in a respectful bow, saying, "I am Chu Peiran's father, Chu Hanlin. In the future, Peiran will need the care of the Mountain God in the Ziyun Mountains!"

Lu Lingying nodded in agreement.

"no problem."

Xiong Shan laughed heartily.

Linglong brought Xiongshan a cup of tea.

Xiong Shan was flattered and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I'll put these two jars of monkey wine in there first."

Xiong Shan placed the two jars of monkey wine on the table and coughed, saying, "I am Xiong Shan, the mountain god of Ziyun Peak. These two jars of monkey wine are a small gift I prepared."

Meng Qingyun picked up his pen and wrote Xiong Shan's name in the book of favors, then wrote down two jars of monkey wine.

After seeing Meng Qingyun finish writing, Xiong Shan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swaggered into Jinghu Academy.

Meng Qingyun leaned closer to smell the monkey wine and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the legendary monkey wine! It smells so good! I'll ask Junior Brother Chu to send me a jar of it sometime."

"Senior brother, can you be serious for once?"

Guan Yuqing rolled her eyes at him.

Niu Mang and Ma Hu followed closely behind. Qin Luo introduced Chu Peiran's parents to them. After some pleasantries, they entered Jinghu Academy with their respective gifts.
