The bridal sedan chair swayed as they pushed and shoved, but the sweet words continued to pour out.
"Chun-jie, now that you're getting married, remember all the sisters-in-law and aunts in our village. They all treated you like their own daughter."
"Chun-jie, do you still remember when your father was lame, our family helped you plant rice seedlings? You said you would repay us when you grew up, don't forget that."
"Our family also helped your family carry grain; you must remember this kindness."
"..."
Chen Jie was acting on Qin Yu's orders today, and with the auspicious day fast approaching, he couldn't let the sedan chair remain stationary. So, he took out a bag of copper coins he had prepared beforehand and flung them into the air.
"Time to receive the lucky money!"
The villagers who had been hit by the copper coins bent down to pick them up, and Chen Jie took the opportunity to have the sedan chair bearers carry the bridal sedan chair away.
The bridal sedan chair was carried away, but Yunling and the others' carriage was left behind.
Having tasted the benefits, the villagers applied the same methods they used on Yun Ruochun to the carriages behind them, stopping one after another without feeling the pain of taking so many coins; they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Yunling was delayed by this matter and arrived at the Qin family. There was no sign of Yun Ruochun. Moreover, the guests of the Qin family were worlds apart from those of the Yun family.
Who wouldn't want to build a good relationship with Master Qin? Who wouldn't want to do someone a favor during this festive time? Yunling looked at the street that had been squeezed open at the entrance, so crowded that it was hard to find a place to stand. She was afraid that not everyone in the county had come to join in the fun.
Unable to squeeze in, she had no choice but to walk to the side and climb up the big tree to the Qin family's wall. She steadied herself and searched for Yun Ruochun's shadow, but unexpectedly bumped into Lu Yinghuai below.
Lu Yinghuai quickly walked to the foot of the wall and reached out his hand to Yunling, saying:
“Lingniang, jump down, I’ll catch you.”
"No need for that, I'm perfectly fine here."
Lu Yinghuai said with a smile:
"You'll be mistaken for a thief if you do that."
"You think you can fool me? Look, aren't there people lying all over there? Besides, I'm not stealing or robbing, so how can I be considered a thief?"
Lu Yinghuai's gaze softened further, and he continued to extend his hand, saying with a smile:
"Come down, I'll take you to see a beautiful view."
Yunling wasn't fooled and responded bluntly:
"They say the higher you stand, the farther you can see. I'm standing much higher than you right now. What good scenery haven't I seen?"
As Yunling spoke, she looked around.
"There are some views that are blocked by the eaves that you haven't seen, such as the lovelorn couple..."
Yunling landed on the ground with a "thud" and asked anxiously:
"What devoted, yet resentful couple? Where are they?"
Lu Yinghuai reluctantly withdrew his hand, saying with some resentment:
"I suddenly can't remember."
Yunling leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and chuckled:
"How did I end up being complained about by the young master? Or is this a new kind of business negotiation technique? First, use exaggeration to lure people into a trap, and then hoist them up high, determined to extort money from them."
Looking at the radiant person before him, Lu Yinghuai felt an even stronger surge of emotion. He truly wished it were him and her getting married today, so that he could be free from much of his tormenting thoughts.
“Lingniang knows that it cost money to rush the makeup just now, and it also costs money to let the bridal sedan chair pass through…”
"Does the young master mean that this scenery also requires paying money to see?"
Lu Yinghuai took a step closer to Yun Ling and teased her:
"No matter what, I have to accept some benefits."
"What are the benefits?"
"Right now, the wool from Yunda's boss is being transported back from Bianjing. I suddenly had an idea: could you arrange a pair of those hot-selling briefs for me?"
This caught Yunling off guard. She raised an eyebrow slightly and said:
"Let's talk about that later. There aren't any men's briefs available. Whether or not to arrange a pair for the young master is debatable. Besides, that pair of lovelorn lovers are probably long gone, so I won't be able to find anything good here."
Lu Yinghuai hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered, and had no choice but to take Yunling to that scenic spot.
Yunling had expected to witness a scene of a man and woman embracing and crying, but instead she encountered a man and woman embracing, but they weren't crying, and one of them was Wen Siqing, and the other was her aunt.
Yunling's legs went weak, and Lu Yinghuai quickly supported her, adding:
"Oh, it looks like they've been holding on for a while."
Yunling never expected that her aunt... never imagined that her aunt would be so avant-garde in her thinking, even when it came to love... so unrestrained.
“You…” Yun Ling quickly pulled Lu Yinghuai aside and said softly, “This matter… please don’t publicize it to outsiders, young master.”
"Of course, it seems your second aunt and Qing-ge'er will be here soon too."
"Yes...it is a bit fast."
They're already hugging each other, how could things not go quickly?
I don't know how Wen Siqing spoke to Yun Ruoxia, but he managed to get her to do this. He's really amazing.
"Then your older sister... will be here soon, right?"
When Lu Yinghuai encountered this scene, his first feeling was surprise, and his second feeling was joy. He almost hoped that the other young ladies of the Yun family would get married as soon as possible so that he could marry Yun Ling. So he eagerly brought Yun Ling to see this.
But Yunling, unaware of his thoughts, simply said:
“My older sister is focused on studying medicine, so she probably doesn’t care much about this kind of thing.”
As Yunling spoke, she peeked outside and saw that her aunt was still hugging Wen Siqing. Good heavens, were they glued together and couldn't be separated? Besides, what was so great about hugging like that? Didn't they feel uncomfortable being so sticky?
Lu Yinghuai followed Yun Ling's gaze and looked outside. Seeing the two still clinging to each other, he felt an indescribable envy. How wonderful it was that the two were like sticky candy, inseparable. Their relationship must be incredibly strong.
He then looked at Yunling and asked:
"Lingniang, could you please make some arrangements regarding my... briefs?"
"I...I...I can't."
These words surprised Lu Yinghuai. He had originally planned to have Yunling arrange one for him, but now, listening to Yunling's words, it seemed she wanted to sew one for him herself. Good heavens, she actually wanted to sew one for him!
Lu Yinghuai felt himself becoming incredibly "sexy." He wanted to hug Yunling, but was afraid of getting beaten up, so he took Yunling's hand and, using his uniquely Huai-style coquettishness, went along with it, saying:
"Lingniang, just arrange one for me, just one, okay?"
"I really don't know how."
But when Yunling met this person's eyes, she found it difficult to refuse, so she could only say:
"I'll try my best, but if it doesn't work, then forget it."
