Not only was everything her daughter had now given to her by this Lord Tang, but her appearance was also treated by this Lord Tang. However, Lord Tang did not rely on these to ask her daughter to repay him. The old lady, who also had some insight, naturally realized how rare this was.
After sending Tang Xian away, the clever old lady immediately became agitated. First, in front of the neighbors, she complained about how cruel her daughter's ex-husband's family was, and how they sold her daughter for fifty taels of silver. She also talked about how her daughter didn't care about the hateful family of her ex-husband, and begged Lord Tang to help her bury her ex-husband's mother with honor.
The old lady was eloquent and finally made the neighbors believe that Chen Yuxian remarried Mr. Tang in order to repay his great kindness. In this way, not only did Chen Yuxian's image become taller in the eyes of the neighbors, but even Chen Xiucai felt that he had nothing to say. Although chastity is important, repaying kindness is even more important. If you don't repay kindness, you will be a beast.
Tang Chen didn't care what others said, but Chen Yuxian was a person of this era, so she couldn't help but care. The old lady was very clever, not only did she stop others from gossiping, she even silenced her own husband, Chen Xiucai.
After Tang Qi came back, he hired a trumpet player and sedan chair bearers. He wanted to bring Chen Yuxian back in a large sedan chair the next day, but Chen Yuxian rented a small sedan chair for herself and returned to the Tang family shortly after Tang Qi came back.
When you truly love someone, you will often think about the other person first. Chen Yuxian didn't want Tang Yu's reputation to be damaged because of her, so she repeatedly asked Tang Yu not to make a big deal about it. Tang Yu also knew what she was worried about. This kind of thing is not a glorious thing in this era. People have different ideas and their actions are not right. No matter how hard Tang Yu tried, he couldn't stop others from gossiping, so keeping a low profile would save him some trouble.
Tang Qi didn't have many relatives or friends. He did send an invitation to his cheap relative, the cousin of the prefect Han, but it was hard to say whether he would come or not. So Tang Qi didn't prepare too many tables and wine, but only planned to entertain his subordinates.
However, Tang Qi underestimated his current wealth. Although he seldom dealt with those officials, there were quite a few officials who came the next day. All the businessmen who had business dealings with Tang Qi also came after hearing the news. There were nearly two hundred people in total, so the ten tables Tang Qi prepared in advance were not enough, so he had to ask his soldiers to help him get ten tables from other places.
Most of the gifts given by officials were fifty taels of silver, but the gifts given by merchants were more expensive, usually one or two hundred taels. Xu Siyi generously gave five hundred taels of silver, and Lu Shaoyang, a wealthy merchant from Jiangsu, also came and gave one thousand taels of silver as a gift. Tang Qi later gave these two people gifts in return, giving each of them two glass bowls, and as for the others, he gave each of them a bottle of perfume.
It is said that glass was also introduced from the West at that time, but it was extremely rare and more expensive than jade. When Xu Si and Lu Shaoyang saw the glass bowl, they knew it was precious and were very satisfied with Tang Qi's return gift. As for the person who got the perfume, he was also very happy when he returned home and saw that it was perfume in glass. At that time, a glass bottle could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, which was so expensive that it was like buying a box and returning the pearl. However, Tang Qi was still thinking of selling a bottle of perfume for fifty taels of silver. In the early days, it was really a miscalculation.
As a descendant who traveled through time and space, Tang Qi naturally did not feel embarrassed about this wedding, but the guests were a little embarrassed. If they did not come, they would offend Lord Tang. If they came, Lord Tang would marry a widow. If it was taking a concubine, everyone would be happy to support Tang Qi, but marrying a widow was definitely a shameful thing, and everyone would lose face. Everyone came just for formality and did not want to offend Tang Qi.
Tang Chen was not a real ancient person, so it was naturally difficult for him to understand the ancients' thoughts. In addition, he was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun, so he did not understand why these people just drank some wine and then went back.
No one wanted to force Tang Qi to drink, but Tang Qi was happy and energetic as he entered the bridal chamber.
Two red candles were burning brightly, and the new house was bright. Tang Chen pushed open the door and looked at Chen Yuxian sitting beside the bed. He felt a little dazed. Is this his marriage? From now on, this is a real home.
Tang Qi thought in her heart and lifted the veil. Under the candlelight, Chen Yuxian, who was lightly made up, looked very beautiful. Her eyes were so charming that Tang Qi could not take his eyes away. Tang Qi sat down and held Chen Yuxian in his arms.
Chen Yuxian never thought that she would wear the red headscarf for the second time. The first time she was worried and uneasy, but this time, from the moment she put on the red headscarf, her heart was filled with sweetness. When Tang Yu lifted the red headscarf, that sweetness turned into tenderness in Chen Yuxian's heart, and her heart had a double silk net with thousands of knots in it.
When Tang Qi came in, Yuan'er pulled Liu Rushi and followed quietly behind. After Tang Qi entered the room, the two of them lay down at the crack of the door and looked inside. They saw Tang Qi holding Chen Yuxian in his arms, which was somewhat in line with the difference between men and women. Liu Rushi's face couldn't help but feel hot, but Yuan'er saw the two adults hugging each other, and felt it was a bit funny, so she couldn't help laughing.
