◇ Chapter 112 Finale (2): Forever
Lord Bai is getting married again.
Many people only just discovered that his wife was actually the young prince of the Helan tribe. Rather than being jealous, more people sympathized with him—after all, everyone knew that the people of the North Sea were skilled in martial arts and had strong personalities. Perhaps Bo Kang was being scolded by his wife every day at home.
Bai Kang himself didn't care about that at all. When he heard someone making sarcastic remarks about his relationship with Lianzhi, he said cheerfully, "I just like her. She's not your wife, so why would I care about other people's family affairs?"
They were both willing to be together, so why were there always people who were nosy? As I said before, Bai Kang always felt that Lianzhi was wronged by being with him.
The wedding date was chosen in May, the same day as their first wedding.
"Just do it casually." Lianzhi sat in the rocking chair, chewing a peach. She watched Bai Kang instructing people to paste the word "囍" on the bedroom window. She felt strangely embarrassed. "Why is it so grand? It wasn't so troublesome back then. It will be taken down in a few days anyway."
"That won't do. It has to be grand, the more grand the better. Don't you forget, we still have to follow the customs of the North Sea?" Bai Kang said.
He is still very much looking forward to it, and this time he wants to be a handsome enough groom.
Lianzhi hugged her head and sighed. Anyway, it was Bai Kang who was busy, and he was already familiar with the procedures, so he could just be a hands-off boss. Lianzhi wiped her hands and waited for the attendant who delivered the wedding quilt to leave before entering the house and hugging Bai Kang's waist: "Brother Kang, I'm also trying to save money for us. For..."
He took a deep breath and asked, "Is it worth it to make such a big fuss about our wedding?"
"Who gossiped about you? Husband, go teach him a lesson." Bo Kang knew it immediately. Lianzhi was very arrogant on the surface, but he was very touched by anyone who treated him well. He had to let Lianzhi know that he was worth it, and that anything for him was worth it.
By then, wouldn't Lianzhi like him even more?
Lianzhi blinked innocently. "They're not talking about me. I heard people outside say that you're being very high-profile, brother. You can tell at a glance that you have an extremely high salary. Some people also say that you embezzled money from the Ministry of Rites."
Bo Kang: ...
At the beginning of May, there was great joy in the Bai family.
It was almost noon, but the streets were bustling with activity. Many vendors and shopkeepers emerged from their shops and stood at their doorsteps, gazing into the distance. The sound of suona music grew closer, and even the windows of the restaurant were crowded with spectators.
The eldest son of an official family was getting married, and he was marrying a prince from a foreign race. They had never seen such a scene before. They wondered what the foreign prince looked like, and whether he looked any different from them. It would be nice if he didn't have a veil on his head, so they could feast their eyes on him.
Lianzhi sat on the bed in the inn, rubbing his wedding veil nervously. Somehow, he felt a little uneasy. His mother and sister were busy with important matters and couldn't come. Princess Mu acted as Lianzhi's family member for a day, taking care of things for him: "Xiaozhi, are you nervous?"
"Yes, a little bit." Lianzhi said sincerely.
"It's normal. You're not used to living in Rongcheng." Princess Mu consoled her. The sound of the suona reached downstairs. Princess Mu walked to the window, glanced down, and said with a smile, "The groom is here. Xiaozhi, I'll go down with you."
To ensure Lianzhi experienced the most complete folk wedding, Bai Kang insisted that no detail be omitted. It was Lianzhi's first time riding in a sedan chair, and she felt it was no different from any she'd ridden in before. Outside, a murmur of discussion drifted in, inaudible through the curtains. The tone was cheerful, filled with well-intentioned praise and blessings.
Everyone is blessing them.
No one scolded or blamed him anymore.
In front of the sedan, Bai Kang sat atop a tall horse, wearing a bright red round-necked wedding gown with a red silk flower as big as a bowl tied to his chest. Hearing everyone's blessings, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he occasionally bowed to both sides of the road. It was a long time before Lianzhi felt the sedan stop.
Bai Kang extended his hand to him again.
After paying respects to the heavens and the earth, Lianzhi returned to her bedroom to wait. This time, Bai Kang did not come to lift her veil first. He waited for a long time, feeling something was wrong, and was about to go out to take a look when he suddenly heard a quarrel outside.
It was Bai Kang's voice, and a somewhat unfamiliar, somewhat strong male voice. After a while, Bai Kang walked in, his face still stained with water droplets.
"Is there no smell of alcohol this time?" Bo Kang pretended to smile cheerfully. Afraid of smelt Lianzhi again, he washed his face before returning. Lianzhi looked at him seriously: "Who were you arguing with just now?"
"My father," Bai Kang said. Lianzhi then remembered that when he had just paid his respects to his parents, he had indeed seen two people sitting at the head of the table. Actually, he had never met Bai Kang's father.
He was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether to answer or not. Suddenly, the scene in front of him lit up, and Lianzhi looked up. Bai Kang lifted the veil.
On the same wedding night, the two of them, one sitting and the other standing, were in different moods.
"First..." Bai Kang was about to ask Lianzhi if she was tired and if she wanted to have a cup of tea or eat something first, when Lianzhi suddenly hugged his waist.
"No one has ever been so kind to me before." Lianzhi gripped his belt tightly. "Except for my mother, no one has always tolerated me, complied with me, and loved me."
The slight drunkenness in Bai Kang disappeared instantly. He hugged him back and patted his back gently.
"You've been really good to me. I've been bossing you around before, but you never got angry."
Bai Kang could feel his clothes getting wet. Lianzhi buried her face in his waist and cried, her voice weak. He held Lianzhi's face in his hands. Lianzhi lowered her eyes, her cheeks and eyes were red: "Actually, I have always liked you very much!"
That's enough.
As long as he has these words, he will love Lianzhi all his life.
"Brother, why did you quarrel with father just now?"
It was late at night, the two of them cuddled in bed, hugging each other tightly. As they were about to fall asleep, Lianzhi suddenly remembered what had just happened. Bai Kang was still awake, and without trying to hide it, he replied, "It's nothing, we just don't see each other very often, so our relationship is just average. He has an average relationship with my mom, and he has an average relationship with my mother, too. He's just a very conservative person, so it's no big deal."
Bai Kang values filial piety, and the fact that he can argue with his father suggests they really don't agree. Lianzhi feels like Bai Kang has something else to tell her, but Bai Kang is usually carefree and doesn't easily show his true emotions.
"I will treat you well too." Lianzhi rubbed his chest.
Bo Kang:?
Are you feeling sorry for him because you saw him arguing with his father?
"Then I'll wait," said Bo Kang. Lianzhi nodded, her head was red, making it impossible to sleep.
Okay, I'll go meet Bo Kang's parents tomorrow morning! He remembered that in a folk wedding, what else should be done the next morning? No matter, he will go and ask tomorrow morning!
