"Grandpa, can love really disappear?"
Zhao Qingyan shook her head sadly, indicating that she had been greatly hurt.
Zhao Qian ignored his granddaughter's antics.
"My dear, you're just getting married, not going on a long journey."
Even if Mr. Yun doesn't go to Kenqing City with you, it won't take much time to travel to and from Davar.
"You can come back anytime you want. Why are you being so wishy-washy? It's not like you don't miss your dad."
Zhao Qingyan nodded in agreement.
"Yes, my best father is here too."
I've decided that I'll go back to Davar every few days, otherwise my father will be too lonely.
Zhao Minggeng, who was outside the door, overheard these words and was so moved that his elderly father wiped away a tear.
He knocked on the door, went inside, and handed over a jade pendant he had bought for his daughter.
"This is a dowry that your father prepared for you. Although I know you don't lack these things, it's just a small token of my appreciation."
There's not much decent stuff to sell around here; this was something my father got through a connection.
Zhao Qingyan was quite surprised. Dawar doesn't even have a proper jewelry store right now. This thing was found through someone. Who was it through?
"If you have a question, ask it," Zhao Minggeng said, ruffling his daughter's hair.
"Hey, this was all thanks to the old clerk. There used to be a pawnshop here."
There was a young man working in a pawnshop. During those two years of war, the owner of the pawnshop ran away.
Before running away, he gave the guy a few jade pendants as payment.
But this is something that poor people can't afford, and as for the rich, there aren't many rich people in Dawar these days, so it's pretty useless.
And so, Dad took a liking to it and bought this piece.
I thought the color was so beautiful that I figured it would be best to give it to you.
Zhao Qingyan took the jade pendant and felt its smooth, warm texture and glossy, oily luster; it was indeed quite nice.
"I really like this gift, thank you Dad."
Seeing his daughter's delight, Zhao Minggeng's smile unconsciously widened.
"If you like it, that's good. If you like it, that's good."
On the morning of June 16th, Zhao Qingyan was woken up by a loud noise.
The maidservant helped Zhao Qingyan prepare the bathwater in the bathroom and then said she would serve Zhao Qingyan to bathe and change.
Zhao Qingyan was so sleepy that she lay in the bathtub while the maids washed her hair and rubbed her back.
After everything was settled, just as the maids were about to attack Zhao Qingyan's limbs and torso, Zhao Qingyan suddenly regained consciousness.
He stopped the maid's hand, "You all go out, I'll handle the rest myself."
Zhao Qingyan took a bath towel and scrubbed her limbs and torso.
Feeling clean, I stood up and rinsed my entire body with clean water.
Wrap your hair in a dry towel and dry your body with a bath towel.
While I was at it, I went back to my room and dried my hair until it was mostly dry, then wrapped it in a towel.
If it weren't for Huang's insistence on taking a bath today as part of the wedding, Zhao Qingyan would never have bothered with such trouble; she could handle everything on her own.
Asking her to help me take a bath is just asking for trouble.
After sending everyone away, Zhao Qingyan began her own bridal makeup.
In both her past and present lives, Zhao Qingyan rarely wore makeup properly, but that doesn't mean she couldn't.
She quickly finished her makeup. Looking at her bright red lips in the mirror, Zhao Qingyan gave herself a quick kiss.
After smoothing her waist-length hair, Zhao Qingyan decided to let the person in charge of the blessing, namely Huang Shi, make her appearance.
The original plan was to select a person of good fortune from the city, but there was no one in the entire Dawar with a status as high as Huang's.
Aside from never having a daughter, Huang was very fortunate to have many children and grandchildren.
Therefore, there's no need to go through that trouble.
Madam Huang came in and combed Zhao Qingyan's hair a few times, muttering to herself as she did so.
"One comb to the end, two combs to white hair reaching the eyebrows, three combs to children and grandchildren filling the ground, four combs to four silver bamboo shoots growing tall and straight..."
After Huang finished speaking auspicious words, Zhao Qingyan took a hair tie and gathered half of her hair up.
Next, gather the lower half of your hair, tie the ends with a hair tie, then tuck the hair inwards and secure it with clips.
Then cover it with a pretty hairnet to secure it, and you're all done.
Just put the phoenix crown on your head and you're done.
The whole process only takes a few minutes. If my hair weren't so long, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
Zhao Qingyan decided that after her three-day homecoming visit, she would find some time to cut her hair.
Since everyone will be wearing women's hairstyles anyway, it will be very easy to cheat.
Just make a simple bun and tie a nice hair tie around it. To match the image of a married woman, the bun should be moved down a bit.
Once things were settled here, someone quickly prepared food for Zhao Qingyan.
Normally, Zhao Qingyan shouldn't eat anything this early in the morning, as she's marrying far away and going to the toilet along the way would be very inconvenient.
But Zhao Qingyan has her own spatial ability, so what's there to be afraid of? She can eat and drink as she pleases.
After delivering the food to her mistress, the young maid was still muttering to herself.
"Isn't it said that the bride can't eat on her wedding day? Why is our young lady eating the same amount as usual?"
The other maids quickly told this one to shut up.
"Green Ivy, don't say too much. The old lady surely has a plan for how to arrange things."
The little girl named Green Ivy shut up. Before she was sold, she had seen her brother get married. Her sister-in-law said that she didn't eat anything that day.
After Zhao Qingyan had eaten and drunk her fill, she reapplied her lipstick, struck a pose, and sat on the embroidered bed. Huang Shi helped cover her head with a red veil, and she waited for Xu Dongsheng to come and fetch her.
Xu Dongsheng did not disappoint Zhao Qingyan, arriving just in time to pick up the bride.
The Zhao family didn't set any difficult problems for Xu Dongsheng. As long as the red envelopes were generous, the brother-in-law was very cooperative.
Soon, Xu Dongsheng carried Zhao Qingyan out of her boudoir and directly to the main hall.
Place Zhao Qingyan in front of the prayer mat.
After bidding farewell to their elders, the two kowtowed together.
Zhao Qingyan didn't feel much and had no intention of crying, but Zhao Minggeng couldn't hold back his tears.
She took the handkerchief she had prepared in her sleeve and wiped away her tears.
"Dongsheng, from today onwards, I entrust my daughter to you. I hope you will treat her well in the future."
You are also aware of the family rules of the Zhao family.
If you break your promise one day, you must inform the Zhao family and send my daughter back.
I won't say anything else to scare you; you'd better watch yourself.
Xu Dongsheng clearly saw murderous intent in his father-in-law's eyes.
At that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.
I dare not think about it, anyway, he will never experience those unpleasant things in his life.
His heart and body belong to his wife; no one can take them away.
He kowtowed to Zhao Minggeng again.
"I will always remember my father-in-law's instructions. Dongsheng will only ever have Yan'er in his life."
Zhao Minggeng nodded, thinking to himself, "It's good that you know what's good for you, kid."
Yes, Xu Dongsheng was quite sensible. If he had dared to say "I will only marry Yan'er," Zhao Minggeng might have turned against him.
What does it mean to marry only one person? Marrying one person does not mean not taking concubines. Marrying a wife and taking concubines are word games, and he dares not play them.
