Chapter 748 A Dream of Youth 280
Looking at the lively and festive decorations around her, Madam Huo nodded in satisfaction. Her eldest son's wedding had to be a grand affair.
Upon noticing Chen Yunbo grinning foolishly to the side, Madam Huo was furious. She then pulled Chen Wanniang aside and complained, "Yunbo is about the same age as Qi'er, and Qi'er is already married, but he's nowhere to be seen. He's always thinking about running off..."
Although he has achieved some success, his parents believe it's wrong for him to be so old and not have children.
Chen Wanniang comforted him, "Qi'er is a late bloomer. Sister-in-law, take Yunbai to more banquets. The more people he meets, the more likely he will meet someone suitable."
Besides... with Yun Bai's looks, I don't think any girl would look down on him.
Chen Yunbo is the best-looking of the three brothers. He practices martial arts, but he is not rugged. Instead, he is tall and slender, with a youthful spirit between his brows.
Huo felt bitter. This boy did have quite a few girls who liked him. When he rode his horse through the streets, girls would throw him flowers and embroidered handkerchiefs, but he himself had no interest in them. It was all for nothing.
Chen Yunbo had very sharp ears, so he naturally heard Huo Shi's complaints about him. He coughed lightly, embarrassed, and then went into the next room to watch the matchmaker do Xie Qi's makeup.
Chen Yuncheng also peeked out from behind, and was stunned when he saw Xie Qi, who was handsome and fair-skinned. Chen Wanniang would dress Xie Qi up when he went out for a blind date, but it was not as big a change as the makeup brought by the matchmaker.
He couldn't help but touch his chubby little face. "Second brother, if the matchmaker did my makeup, would I be as handsome as my cousin?"
Looking at the chubby Chen Yuncheng, Chen Yunbo couldn't bring himself to lie to him. "Yuncheng, do you want to practice swordsmanship with your second brother? You need to get in shape, otherwise it will be difficult to find a spouse in the future."
My father said that only good looks can win a girl's heart. Back then, my father beat out my mother's other suitors because of his good looks.
"don't want."
Chen Yuncheng looked at Chen Yunbo with great suspicion, "Second brother, you're already this age and still not engaged. It's clear that good looks alone can attract girls."
Everyone loves beauty, but in Chen Yuncheng's eyes, beauty has to take a backseat to food.
Chen Yunbo choked, then tapped his head in annoyance, "Your second brother is not someone I can talk about? I just don't want to! If I get married, I won't be able to go to the Western Regions to trade."
It's not that his parents or future wife would object, but once he gets married, he'll have responsibilities. His parents still have two brothers to help look after them, but he only has himself to care about his wife and children.
When he has responsibilities and concerns in his heart, he will fear death.
But he wanted to travel all over the Western Regions, and even further, to explore places no one had ever been before... so not getting married was the best option.
The matchmaker quickly helped Xie Qi change into a crimson robe. "It's almost time. Let's have something to eat later, and then we'll go out to fetch the bride at noon."
Xie Qi had many classmates, and when the wedding procession arrived, all of them rode horses. Leading the way were Chen Yunsheng and Chen Yunbai, while Chen Yuncheng refused to get on the horse, insisting on staying home to wait for the banquet.
Going out for a stroll will definitely be tiring, and you won't even want to eat afterwards.
Xie Ning rode along to the wedding procession. Although she had never seen her sister go to the wedding procession with her before, no one stopped her.
A group of young men rode their horses down the street, a truly eye-catching sight. Xie Qi's classmates had all dressed up carefully to make him look good.
"Is this a wedding celebration at the Xie family's house? It looks really lively."
"Of course, I saw Lady Xie. She looks so beautiful today." Xie Ning wore all the gorgeous clothes she usually doesn't wear, and even wore a flower crown. Her face was as white as jade, and her beauty was stunning.
"Did you see that young man next to Master Xie? He's handsome too!"
Hearing the commotion downstairs, Yan Xi couldn't help but open the window and look down. She immediately spotted Xie Ning riding ahead on horseback, and the flower crown was a gift from her.
"Your Highness, the wedding procession has already gone to the Xu family. Shall we set off now?"
"No rush, let's wait a bit. The Xu family isn't setting up a literary barrier today." It won't be easy.
As the first firecracker went off, Xie Qi led everyone to the main gate, where people were blocking the entrance.
Those of them who had been married knew all this, but... why was there a burly man sitting at the gate, holding a long stick?
Isn't it... a battle of wits?
They thought that writing a few poems to urge the bride to get married would be enough, since writing poems wasn't difficult for most of them.
Everyone was stunned by this.
