The two elders of the Wen family were quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Compared with their son who couldn't get married, this daughter-in-law was beautiful and capable, and came with such a generous dowry. Such a good thing really made them couldn't be more satisfied.
When everyone saw the bride, who was even more beautiful than the average rural girl, they were all amazed. They thought the white-haired ghost was lucky to marry a healthy girl, but they didn't expect that he could marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law. Looking at the long dowry behind her, they were really envious! Their healthy son didn't have this luck!
Xia Ruzheng was with Xia Ruqian last time, and she knew the whole process very well. She also faced everyone's stares calmly. Her behavior was for Wen Zhichao's sake. No matter how strange others were, she was going to spend her life with this man.
After a while, the dowry and the bride were brought into the bridal chamber. This time, Xia Ruqian helped Xia Ruzheng inspect the bridal chamber.
Thinking back to the last time I helped Xia Ruqian look at a new house, it would be difficult to stop Xia Ruqian at this time.
Xia Ruqian said in surprise: "Hey! The sewing machines are all Butterfly brand!"
At that time, Butterfly brand sewing machines were like Forever brand bicycles. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them; you also needed connections.
Xia Ruzheng knew it was because Wen Zhichao had put his heart into it. For some reason, Xia Ruzheng now felt that anything Wen Zhichao could accomplish was possible as long as he put his heart into it. His abilities had always been hidden, hidden from everyone else. No one else saw his strengths, knew his capabilities, only she knew. It was like someone finding a treasure, overjoyed but unwilling to show it to anyone, only willing to admire and play with it secretly at night.
According to the procedure, Xia Ruzheng followed Wen Zhichao to toast again so that all the guests could see enough, and then he had time to come back and eat.
This wedding will probably be the talk of the neighborhood for quite some time.
In the afternoon, Wen Zhichao finally had some free time and came to talk to Xia Ruzheng.
"If you're tired, take a nap."
The bride must have been busy for a long time. In the evening, she has to entertain relatives and friends, and then there's another busy period. This is a rare time to rest, so she can take a break. However, some people might want to come and see the bride. Usually, the bride sits upright in the room, welcoming everyone. However, when Wen Zhichao says this, people will just say he's sympathetic to his wife, not blame her.
Xia Ruzheng was indeed a little tired. The unicycle had been so bumpy that it hurt, and she had toasted over twenty tables, smiling along. It was impossible not to be tired. But as a new daughter-in-law, she had to be more restrained. It would be bad to leave a bad impression on her parents-in-law.
Seeing her brother-in-law protecting her sister at this time, Xia Ruqian was naturally very happy and said, "Sister, you take a nap, I'll keep watch over you."
Of course Xia Ruzheng disagreed. Xia Ruqian was already confirmed to be pregnant, so it didn't make sense for him to let a pregnant woman watch over him while he slept.
Xia Ruqian was very excited. Her sister's marriage had fulfilled her wish. What's more, her sister married someone favored by the whole family, so she tried her best and did a lot within her ability.
"Oh, sister, you lie down and I sit, what difference does it make? It's impossible for them to ask me to serve tea and water. There may be a lot of people in your house, and it may be a little noisy, but you know I like lively atmosphere, and I am happy!"
Liu Guoqing only had Xia Ruqian to serve at this time, and even if he wanted to intervene, he didn't dare to do anything harsh. Since his wife was just staying in her sister's room, he was very supportive.
Xia Chunfu had gone back earlier. It was not appropriate for his mother's family to stay for a long time, but Xia Ruqian could not be said to be his mother's family in the full sense, so it was understandable for others to stay.
So Xia Ruzheng lay on the bed for a while. The soft bed was almost the same as the one she had at her parents' home. She immediately understood that Wen Zhichao remembered what she had said that day: one's living standard should not decline after getting married.
The Wen family knew that Xia Ruzheng was asleep but didn't say anything. They all had a common idea: it was not easy for Wen Zhichao to marry a wife, so just indulge him a little!
Xia Ruzheng didn't dare to sleep for long, after all, there were so many guests there. After waking up, he looked radiant, which made the aunts and the ladies tease Wen Zhichao, saying that he was so lucky to marry a beautiful bride.
The wedding went smoothly, and Xia Ruzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Marriage is a major life event, but it's also a grueling one, like going through a hurdle.
Xia Ruzheng took a nap in the afternoon and was naturally in good spirits in the evening. Wen Zhichao couldn't help but do some intimate things below the neck. Xia Ruzheng came to his senses and thought, maybe it was planned so that the bride wouldn't be too tired and unable to have intimate things at night?
Wen Zhichao has several brothers and sisters. He is neither ahead nor behind in the ranking. However, his older brothers and sisters and his younger brothers and sisters have basically given birth to nephews and nieces. Wen Zhichao is indeed a little behind in this regard.
Xia Ruzheng had previously lived under the care of mothers-in-law like Mrs. Du and sisters-in-law like the Huang sisters. While not entirely adept at handling her in-laws, she was still quite capable. The two elders of the Wen family were relieved. They had been worried that their daughter-in-law might have some unsung qualities, or that she might harbor resentment about the marriage, causing hardship for everyone involved.
Three days later, when Xia Ruqian returned home, she brought Liu Guoqing back with her as expected. Now Liu Guoqing only had to respect Xia Ruqian as the Empress Dowager.
Xia Ruqian's face was rosy and Xia Ruzheng's expression was cheerful. The two sisters were happy for each other when they saw that each other was living a good life.
Xia Chunfu sat at the top, looking at his eldest daughter and son-in-law on the left, and his youngest daughter and son-in-law on the right. They were all happy and satisfied, which made him even happier.
