Chapter 324: Marrying a Wife



Mrs. Ma and Ma Xiuniang, who came to see off the bride, hurriedly pulled Chen aside.

Ma Xiuniang handed the handkerchief to Chen, and Madam Ma whispered to her, "The young lady is not marrying far away, and the Pei family is a kind family. She can come back whenever she wants, whether it's a weekday or a festival. What will the young lady think of you? It's a big day, and your makeup will be ruined by crying, which will not look good. Besides, if you want to cry, this is not the time to cry. It won't be too late to cry when the young lady gets married!"

Chen took Ma Xiuniang's handkerchief and wiped her tears, choking up and saying, "I know, I just couldn't help it. I held such a small, white and plump child in my arms and in my palms. She finally grew up and now she is married to another family. Not only does she have to give birth to children, but she also has to take care of the daily necessities of the whole family. I don't know if anyone will sympathize with her hard work, and whether she will be a smooth mother..."

As both of them had daughters, Mrs. Ma and Chen could talk about the same thing. She sighed when she heard this, put her arm around Chen's shoulders and said, "When Xiuniang left the palace, I felt the same as you. But look, isn't our Xiuniang doing well? You have to believe in your Atang, she will live a good life."

As they were talking, they ran into Yu Yuan, who was sweating profusely.

When Yu Yuan saw Chen, his eyes lit up and he looked delighted. He ran over and said, "Aunt, have you seen my uncle? Mr. Wei and his family are here, but my uncle is gone. I've looked everywhere for him!"

Chen was unwilling to be saddened and asked hurriedly, "Have you found the study? What about the accounting office? Is it in the garden at the back?"

Yu Yuan shook his head and said, "None at all."

Chen became anxious and made hasty arrangements for Ma's mother and daughter, and went looking for Yu Wen with Yu Yuan.

The two finally found Yu Wen in the alley at the back door of the Yu family's home, but Yu Wen was squatting on the steps at the back door wiping his tears.

Chen and Yu Yuan stopped and watched.

Yu Wen, who heard the noise, did not look up, but just said, "Let me be alone for a while."

There was a hint of crying in the voice.

Chen couldn't help but shed tears again.

The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Although Yu Yuan found it funny, he also started to cry.

Luckily, Yu Bo also came over. Seeing this, he frowned and said, "What are you doing? Come on, stop thinking about these things. Not only are Master Wei's family here, but Master Jiang is here too. If it weren't for Master Wu, our family would be embarrassed today."

After all, Yu Wen was a man, so he quickly calmed down and followed Yu Bo to receive the guests.

Chen remained sad for a while, then forced a smile and went into the house.

The Pei family is already preparing for the bride's reception.

The blessed woman invited by the Pei family was Pei Chan's mother.

Although she was from the Pei family's branch, not only did she have her parents-in-law and biological parents, but after marrying into the Pei family, she also gave birth to five sons and two daughters. Her natal family was even more prosperous, with more than twenty cousins, and Pei Chan couldn't even recognize them all.

Whenever someone from the Pei family got married, they usually asked her to be the bridegroom.

It was rare for her to see Pei Yan wearing a red robe. When the Second Wife came over, she couldn't help but tease Pei Yan: "Uncle San looks so spirited in this outfit. He should wear more brightly colored clothes in the future."

Pei Yan has grown up, but he has only worn bright red clothes when he was a child and did not have the ability to choose. Hearing this, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed and pulled at his collar uncomfortably.

Pei Chan's mother quickly stopped him and said, "You can't do that. Be careful not to mess up your clothes."

Pei Yan said "hmm" with a cold face, and indeed he stopped pulling his clothes.

Pei Chan's mother looked at this and wanted to laugh again.

He is such a cold and arrogant person usually. The sisters-in-law have talked about him in private more than once. I wonder if he was like this when he got married.

I finally saw it today.

His face was still as cold as usual, but his eyes seemed to be shining and bright, and he could not suppress the joy in his heart even if he tried to suppress it.

There is no difference in size for three days.

Pei Chan's mother wanted to tease Pei Yan, but her son pulled her sleeve and said, "Mom, do you want to go to the great grandmother and say hello? I wonder if she has anything to say to you."

Pei Chan's mother cried out "Aiya" and remembered this matter. She handed the seven-year-old Pei Jiang to Pei Chan and said, "Take him here and wait. I'll be back soon."

Pei Jiang is Pei Bo's younger brother. Like Pei Chan, his family not only has grandparents and great-grandparents, but he has also been smart since he was a child. Therefore, Pei Laoan chose him to be the boy who holds the sedan chair.

He held a vase in his hand and placed the apple on the mouth of the vase. When he saw Pei Chan's mother had left, he said to Pei Chan coquettishly, "Brother Chan, my hand hurts. Can you help me with it?"

Pei Chan threatened him: "Go and tell your third uncle."

Pei Jiang remained silent.

Pei Yan didn't know whether the treasure vase could be passed to other people after it was handed to the guard boy, but after hearing what Pei Jiang said, he was really worried that his hands would be hurt. He gave the treasure vase to others, took a candy and stuffed it into Pei Jiang's mouth, and said, "Hold it well and don't put it anywhere. When I marry your aunt, I will give you to Fang Xu."

Pei Jiang's eyes rolled around, and he said, "Third Uncle, I don't want the She inkstone. I want the inkstone with the crane carved on it on your desk."

Pei Yan was stunned.

Everyone in the family is afraid of him, and few people talk to him like this.

He smiled and said, "You have good taste, boy. That is a Fang Chengni inkstone. However, since I am going to give you a Fang inkstone, it must be no worse than this one. You should think about it carefully. A Chengni inkstone may not be better than a She inkstone."

Pei Jiang's eyes moved faster, and his face was full of calculation. He said, "But I heard that the inkstone on Third Uncle's desk was the inkstone that accompanied Third Uncle to his death."

Pei Bo will be gone in two years.

Pei Yan laughed loudly and said, "Are you asking for something for A-po?"

Pei Jiang didn't dare to admit it.

Pei Yan, however, thought that children were quite interesting. If he had a son in the future, he would like him to be like Pei Jiang.

He bent down and picked Pei Jiang up, saying, "Okay! I'll give you the inkstone on my desk and take it home with you."

Pei Jiang was so happy that his teeth were showing.

Pei Yan said: "Then why don't you hold Pingguo in your arms as well?"

Logically, the boy holding the sedan chair should hold a vase in one hand and an apple in the other.

Pei Jiang responded quickly and struggled to get out of Pei Yan's arms.

Pei Chan was afraid that the child might drop the vase or the apple on the vase, so he stepped forward to protect Pei Jiang and helped him down to the ground.

Pei Yan asked Pei Chan: "How are your preparations going?"

All the children in the clan studied with Grandpa Yi, and they often heard Grandpa Yi say how smart Pei Yan was. He had never dealt with Pei Yan directly, but when he heard Pei Yan ask this, he smiled and told Pei Yan about his homework during this period.

Pei Yan gave him a few pointers.

After this back and forth, Pei Yan's panic gradually dissipated.

When he mounted his horse and headed for Yu's house, he began to worry about the wedding night.

He believed in Taoism and practiced the Taoist way of self-cultivation and longevity.

The first and foremost way to longevity is abstinence.

Although there are many Taoist classics, he used to disdain such books. Now that he is getting married, Mrs. Pei certainly can't tell him these things, but Mrs. Pei is no longer here, and Pei Xuan has also gone to the capital, so Mrs. Pei has to ask Mrs. Yi to tell him these things.

Old Master Yi thought that Pei Yan was already such a grown-up and had loved reading miscellaneous books since he was a child. He said that if he read too much, it would inevitably hurt Pei Yan's reputation, so he simply threw a few books to Pei Yan and let him read them by himself.

Pei Yan studied it carefully.

I don't know if it was because the calligraphy and painting were not good or if he just didn't like them. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at them. After he looked at them, his face turned pale and all the romantic thoughts he had were gone.

What would he do if the bridal chamber was like this?

As a result, he had a stern face throughout the entire wedding process.

Pei Chan, who was accompanying him to the wedding, had no choice but to pull at Pei Yan's clothes and whisper repeatedly, "Third Uncle, smile. Everyone is looking at you!"

Pei Yan really couldn't laugh. Even if he smiled occasionally, it was very forced. Instead, Yu Wen laughed. He thought, even if it was Pei Xiaguang, he was still too nervous to speak when he got married.

It’s enough if the son-in-law can be like this!

He did not make things difficult for Pei Yan and happily let Yu Yuan carry Yu Tang out of the door.

After the carriage left amid the sound of crackling firecrackers, Yu Wen was still there laughing and shaking his head. Jiang Chao, on the other hand, was more moved by Pei Yan's suggestion.

Pei Yan does this because he wants to help the Yu family, but the Yu family doesn't have the ability, so they need him to support them from the front so that the Yu family can easily make some money, right?

People who do business are afraid of no benefit to both sides. If they can find a mutually beneficial interest line, the business can be carried on for a long time with a clear conscience.

Jiang Chao suddenly found his role in Pei Yan's office, and his confidence increased instantly.

He decided to think carefully about the cooperation with the Pei family. Before leaving, he would meet Pei Yan and talk to him about his plans.

Jiang Chao drank the Yu family's wedding wine somewhat absentmindedly.

Pei Yan has already gone through the ceremony and entered the bridal chamber.

The Pei family was looking forward to having a feast for all, regardless of age. Therefore, many people came to see the bride.

Everyone started to clamor for Pei Yan to lift the veil.

Pei Yan was overwhelmed and didn't understand why the new house was so crowded with people.

He really wanted to kick everyone out, but he also knew that it would ruin the mood and Yu Shang would definitely be sad.

Pei Yan suppressed his unhappiness and lifted Yu Tang's veil.

Yu Tang couldn't help but look up and smiled at Pei Yan.

With makeup on, Yu Tang looked brighter than usual. Her gentle smile was like a spring breeze blowing across the wilderness, making Pei Yan feel as if there was a grassland in his heart with lots of lush green grass.

"Atang!" Pei Yan murmured softly. The noise around him seemed to have disappeared, and only his heart was pounding.

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan and for a moment he couldn't take his eyes away.

Pei Yan looks so handsome in red.

The white jade-like face, the crow-wing-like temples, the sparkling eyes filled with unmistakable joy...all made Yu Tang's heart melt as if it was soaked in a warm current.

"Oh, the bride is so beautiful!" Someone in the bridal chamber exclaimed, breaking the bond between the two.

The noise returned to their ears.

Pei Yan and Yu Tang turned their heads away at the same time and never dared to look at each other again.
