Father Jiang sighed, "The imperial decree is not something I can decide."
If he had been able to make the decision, he would have left years ago.
If he could make the decision now, he would like to postpone the date.
Jiang Liu didn't want her parents to be far away.
However, she knew that going to Shanghai to serve as an official was something her father had always dreamed of.
"Don't worry, Dad will be there for your wedding."
"When Liu'er gets married, her father will naturally host a grand banquet for the guests and send his daughter off in style."
Mr. Jiang looked intently at his only daughter.
Even if it would delay his appointment, he had to stay a few more days.
Once he goes to Shangjin, he might be able to arrange a good job for his son-in-law.
Speaking of this, he began to complain about Prefect Xu again.
How could this Lord Xu entrust such hard labor to his prospective son-in-law?
Mother Jiang covered her face and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Liu'er, if Qiu Dafu dares to bully you, you must write to tell your mother."
At this moment, Mr. Jiang looked at his beloved daughter with some concern.
If Qiu Dafu bullies his daughter, his third son Jiang Lian will definitely stand up for Liu'er.
December had arrived, and perhaps due to the cold weather, Jiang Liu shivered, hugging her arms tightly to her chest, forcing a smile onto her face.
“Mother, he won’t.” Jiang Liu trusted Qiu Dafu unconditionally.
"Dad, Mom, I will expand my business to Shangjin in the future, and then our family can get together more often."
Even so, why is she so sad right now?
"Good, good, good." Mother Jiang said "good" three times in a row, and then pulled Jiang Liu and talked for a long time.
Jiang's father left quietly by himself.
The weather in the twelfth lunar month is bitterly cold.
Qiu Yan's family all changed into cotton-padded clothes.
Even so, Qiu Yan continued her daily morning exercise routine without interruption.
The day before Qiu Dafu's wedding,
In Lingnan Village, at the Qiu family's house, a festive atmosphere permeated the air.
At the courtyard gate, poor Lightning was firmly chained outside, and Gu Xiaoran couldn't untie it.
At this moment, he was clinging tightly to Ling Qi's legs, pleading that he wouldn't leave unless the lightning was released.
"Uncle Ling Qi, please, please spare Lightning..."
As for Ling Ba, he was fast enough to avoid joining Ling Qi in the fun.
Tomorrow is my second uncle's wedding day, how could he possibly be idle?
He volunteered to be in charge of tomorrow's wedding procession.
With her pregnant belly bulging, Qiu Yumei, along with Ye Shi and Wang Shi, directed Zhao San and a group of villagers to busy themselves setting up tables, chairs, and benches.
Bai Lu, who was also pregnant, was decorating the Qiu family's courtyard with Qin Susu.
They put up "double happiness" characters and hung red silk cloths one after another, keeping themselves very busy.
Also helping to decorate the courtyard were the newlyweds, Zhao Juan and her husband.
Zhao Juan, dressed as a woman in a deep red dress, with her hair piled high on top of her head, looked much better than before.
Her husband, Liu Qi, was following behind Zhao San, listening to Qiu Yumei's instructions.
Village chief Zhao Shan, who was closest to Qiu Dafu, and Li Zheng were also busy, giving Qiu Dafu instructions for tomorrow.
For example, on their wedding night...
Zhao Shan transformed into a gossipy woman, chattering incessantly with Qiu Dafu.
Li Zheng was just there to make up the numbers.
Unable to bear it any longer, he quietly walked away.
Qiu Dafu had no choice but to listen; at that moment, all he wanted to do was escape.
Li Zheng and his wife were also among them.
After a series of tedious procedures, the courtyard was finally transformed.
Inside and outside the gate, ten miles of red bridal procession.
Ancient courtyard, vermilion gate and green ring, golden bricks and green tiles,
Two large red lanterns hang in the air in front of the door.
Inside the courtyard, there are also many large red lanterns, some single and in pairs, some strung together, in various styles.
