Chapter 105: I Love Liquor
Su Wan was quite surprised to hear this fact, because she didn't expect that this matter was related to Jiang Yu. It was obvious that these two people had nothing to do with each other.
"He'll be back this afternoon. You can come see him in the evening. That's fine. Now you and Jiao Xing are finally together. Live a good life and don't let him down!"
I didn't expect Jiang Yu to be so gentle. Didn't the original book say that he was cold-hearted and selfish?
Now it seems that this is not entirely true. He is just restricted by the plot. What she sees now is the real him!
"Thank you, Miss Su Wan. I'll go back first." Jiang Sheng bowed to her, his eyes still red. He was moved by what he had just said about Jiang Yu.
In the evening, he came again in person, invited Jiang Yu to his wedding banquet, and arranged a seat for him.
Since they have invited him sincerely, Jiang Yu will naturally not refuse. At that time, the entire Su family will attend the wedding banquet and watch the ceremony.
Su Wan had never seen the ancient version of a wedding ceremony and was very curious.
Jiang Yu showed off his martial arts skills in front of the villagers a few days ago, and now all the girls in the village have come to see him.
Young widows, ranging from eleven or twelve years old to around thirty years old, would pass by the Su family courtyard from time to time and look inside.
The courtyard, which had always been remote and quiet, suddenly became lively, and many people came to chat with Su's mother.
In the village, many people say that Jiang Yu is the future son-in-law of the Su family. After all, he has lived in the Su family for a long time, has a close relationship with Su Wan, and the Su brothers get along well with him. It is hard not to think too much.
Moreover, Su's father and mother were instructed to announce to the outside world that they were distant cousins. In ancient times, cousin marriage was allowed, and it was even more acceptable for distant cousins.
Some women who were on good terms with Su's mother came to visit their home and asked when the couple would officially set a date for their wedding.
This part was beyond Su's mother's knowledge. How could she not know that her daughter and Jiang Yu were going to get engaged?
Despite her doubts, she still explained with a smile:
"The child is still young, don't worry!"
Anyway, she hasn't admitted it directly, so if she doesn't admit it when the time comes, that's it.
She really liked Jiang Yu, a boy who was tall, handsome, good at martial arts, and full of security. If she married him, she believed he was worthy of her reliance.
However, it is obvious that he is not a young master from an ordinary family. He is from Kyoto, and their family background is really not suitable for him.
It’s not that she is pulling down her own daughter. Her daughter is a good person, but once you marry into a wealthy family, it’s like entering a deep sea. If she meets a family with complicated family relationships, she will probably suffer.
On the 25th, the He family held their daughter's wedding banquet, and on the 26th was Jiang Sheng's family's wedding banquet.
The Su family did not go to help the He family. The two families have always been on good terms, which is no secret in the village. In such a situation, they did not come to help. It is obvious that they have fallen out.
There were many people watching the show, and everyone wanted to know the reasons, so they asked both sides.
The Su family was too disdainful to speak, and the He family was too embarrassed to speak up, so the curious people couldn't get any information.
The He family knew they were in the wrong and didn't have the face to ask for help, so they just brushed it off lightly.
In the early morning, the Jiang family went to pick up the bride, beating gongs and drums, and officially marrying her, making it very lively.
He Jiaoxing wore a bright red wedding dress. Although it was the simplest style without any fancy patterns, she was smiling happily that day.
Su's mother took Su Wan to work at the Jiang family, so she saw the bride-picking scene with her own eyes.
Jiang Sheng's mother was in high spirits because of the happy event. She looked much more energetic and forced herself to get up and take charge of the affairs.
Jiang Sheng was rather casual, wearing a set of clothes without any patches, neither new nor old, just to get married. Although he lived in poverty, he also tried his best to give He Jiaoxing dignity.
The dishes on the table were pretty good, and all the expected specifications were met.
Su Wan was very happy for He Jiaoxing, seeing her smiling so happily. During the banquet, Jiang Yu came wearing a mask. The Su family sat at the same table. Although he sat at a higher seat, they were all family, and others would not bother about it.
However, it was quite rare for the whole family to come to the banquet, but they were specially invited by the host family and they did a favor. Su's mother followed Su Wan's suggestion and gave them a favor of one or two taels of silver, which was very generous.
Jiang Sheng specially brought Jiao Xing to toast Jiang Yu. It was just ordinary rice wine. Jiang Yu drank three cups in a row and said a few words of blessing, such as "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years" and "May you have a baby soon".
Afterwards, the Su family members also drank a glass with the couple one by one. The rice wine was not spicy at the throat, but it was bitter at first, with a sweet aftertaste.
Su Wan drank a glass. His face was a little distorted when he took a sip, but after tasting it, he felt a little intoxicated and drank two more glasses in a row.
After two quarters of an hour, the party had not yet ended, but she was already feeling the effects of the aftereffects, her cheeks were slightly red, and her neck was also pink.
Feeling dizzy, she looked at Su's mother beside her for help. Su's mother could tell at a glance that she was drunk and laughed and joked:
"Oh, our Wanwan is drunk, look at her red face."
"It's okay. Drinking some rice wine won't hurt your body. If you can't, daddy will carry you home later." Father Su looked at Su Wan lovingly.
Su Wan smiled foolishly and nodded.
Su Yun thought it was funny and complained at the time:
"Su Wan, you look so silly!"
Su Wan glared at him when she heard that. Because he was a little drunk, his cheeks looked puffy, which made him even cuter.
Jiang Yu's gaze moved across her face without any concealment, and the deep affection in his peach blossom eyes could not be told whether it was real or fake.
Because he was usually like this, he raised his hand and drank another glass of rice wine, revealing a satisfied and comfortable smile, with his eyes slightly closed.
At this moment, the good wines we usually drink cannot compare to the sweetness and simplicity of this aged rice wine. What makes people most happy is the lingering sweetness.
I used to love strong liquor, but now I have changed my mind about this sweet brew.
After the banquet, Su Wan was staggering. The rice wine was more than ten percent alcohol, and Su Wan, who was not good at drinking, was staggering as he walked.
Su's father kept his promise and carried her back home. Su's mother then boiled some hot water for her to wash her face and feet, then covered her with a quilt and let her go to sleep.
It snowed at night, not heavily, but it fluttered down in the air. My feet were a little cold at night.
When Su Wan woke up the next morning, she was happy. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, the mountain tops were dyed white, and the air was filled with the unique freshness of snow.
Girls in the south rarely see snow. Qinghe County is located between the north and the south. There is snowfall every year, but not too much. Unlike the north, when snow falls, it accumulates up to the ankles, making travel a problem.
The eldest brother promised to come back three days before New Year's Day, and the date has come. If he doesn't show up today, I will ask the third brother to pick him up. In short, he cannot stay in the academy any longer.
At Zhongyun Academy, Su Jing had already talked to the teacher several times, but received no response.
In a nutshell, during this critical period, it is better to stay in the academy and study with peace of mind.
