As soon as Gu Qian finished speaking, he saw Qiu Dafu carrying food and walking towards him.
He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Congratulations, Second Uncle, on finding your beautiful wife and getting married. Gu Qian here wishes Second Uncle and Second Aunt a long and happy marriage."
Qiu Dafu put down his food, clasped his hands in thanks, and then asked:
When did you get back?
He never expected that Gu Qian would make a special trip back for his wedding.
He knew that the border was unstable.
"I just arrived," Gu Qian said truthfully, then went to greet Qiu Yumei and Zhao San.
Finally, his aunt invited him to the main hall to dine with his second uncle, master, and others.
Dinner began, and everyone gathered together, laughing and chatting. Only Qin Susu was forced to stay by Qin Feng's side, unable to voice her grievances.
She was so hungry...
...
Huaiyuan, Jiang Mansion
The Jiang family was also decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.
Jiang Liu sat alone in front of her dressing table, quietly gazing at the bronze mirror before her.
The woman in the bronze mirror
Delicate eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, jade-like cheeks, cherry lips
Beautiful figure, with both softness and strength
She was elegant and beautiful, with a stunning appearance.
With such a family background and such looks, she should be proud.
But now, the closer the wedding day gets, the more...uneasy she feels...
Unconsciously, Jiang Liu thought back to the time when she married Tang Yi.
Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Time flies.
If only she could go back twelve years, before she and Tang Yi got married, how wonderful that would be.
As she thought about it, a bitter smile appeared on Jiang Liu's face.
She would rather have lived these past ten years as a blank slate.
Tonight, with Cuizhu's help, she took a bath early.
Lying in bed, thinking about the man she was to marry the next day, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Tomorrow, she will marry Qiu Dafu. That's wonderful.
Also unable to sleep were...
Qiu Dafu.
Thinking of his bride tomorrow, he tossed and turned in bed.
All these thoughts seem like a dream. To have Jiang Liu as his wife in this life feels unreal to him.
If all of this is just a dream, then he would rather remain trapped in that dream forever.
At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) in the middle of the night, Qiu Dafu had already gotten up.
Bathed in moonlight, he sat quietly alone in front of the house until dawn.
As the moon set and the sun rose, the Qiu family courtyard was even more lively than yesterday.
Qiu Yumei and her husband arrived early in the morning and immediately began to busy themselves with serving the villagers.
Qiu Yan was the same, and even Qiu Ling'er and Gu Xiaoran got up very early today.
Early in the morning, Qiu Xu returned home with the Zhao brothers, Zhao An and Zhao Yang, after asking for leave.
The first thing Qiu Xu said to his second uncle was,
"Second Uncle, can we go now?"
"Okay, I'll leave right away. Ah Xu, An An, Yang Yang, you wait at home."
Zhao An shook his head, "No, we want to go with Second Uncle to welcome the bride."
Zhao Yang chimed in, "Second Uncle, let's hurry up and set off, don't keep Second Aunt waiting."
...This morning, the first thing Gu Qian did upon waking was to check if Qin Feng was awake.
He didn't want anything to go wrong on a day like this.
The person is still unconscious, but their life is hanging by a thread.
Last night, Bai Lu served him diligently all night, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba kept a close eye on him.
Qin Susu, meanwhile, lay down by Qin Feng's bedside and slept soundly through the night.
When Qiu Xu and Gu Qian met, they exchanged greetings.
Qiu Xuquan asked the question his master didn't ask.
"Ah Xu, don't focus all your attention on your senior brother. You should study hard and become the top scholar in the imperial examination so that your sister can be happy."
"What my sister values is the process." Qiu Xu knew that even if he only passed the preliminary examination, his sister would be happy.
