They indulged in each other's taste for a long time. Then, Xia Xiao and Azhu reluctantly pulled out a silver thread, feeling extremely excited.
"My mother and I have prepared some dishes for you. We have all the food available outside. Just wait for me here. Long Li and the others will be here soon and can accompany you."
Ah Zhu nodded, signaling Xia Xiao to go quickly. The latter naturally did not hesitate, and reluctantly looked at him again, then walked out the door. He came to the front hall, holding a glass of wine, and toasted one by one. Because they were all relatives and friends, Xia Xiao drank a lot of wine today. But he was also happy today, and he talked more, not as silent as usual.
The Xia family alone filled an entire table. After Xia Xiaojing offered his drink, they sat back and poured another glass of wine.
"This cup is first dedicated to my parents. Thank you for your care and support over the years."
Seeing Xia Xiao gulp down the wine and raise his glass to his grandmother, Xia Xu and Xie Yi smiled at each other. This was really a great time. Today was Xia Xiao's big day. Not to mention himself, even his parents were a little greedy for wine, but today there were no such scruples. He drank whatever he wanted. After all, this was Xiao'er's big event. From now on, he had his own family, which meant that he had grown up and had a family member in the future.
Xiao Ran watched Xia Xiao raise his glass with a smile, and was happy for him, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad. Seeing that Ju Mang beside her had already picked up a glass of wine, Xiao Ran hurriedly stopped him.
"Children should not drink alcohol."
"I'm not small, I've lived once!"
Ju Mang's answer made Xiao Ran very excited. She lowered her head to look at him, full of expectation and tenderness, and asked:
"Do you remember what happened before?"
"I remembered some of them."
"Then do you know who I am?"
"Yes, I have always known it."
The expression on Ju Mang's face was definitely not what Xiao Ran wanted, so she judged that Ju Mang had not fully recovered his memory. But it didn't matter, she had waited all these years and didn't care about the last bit of time.
"Eat more vegetables."
Xiao Ran touched Ju Mang's head. She knew that he was not interested in meat, so she brought him some cakes and fruits.
After stroking a strand of hair to the back of her head, Xiao Ran looked up and saw Xia Xiao standing on the other side of the round table, toasting to her. Xiao Ran quickly poured herself a glass and when she saw Xia Xiao approaching, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This emotion came a little inexplicably, but Xia Xiao stood in front of her and whispered to her:
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll drink to you. Please do as you please."
Xiao Ran nodded, and drank the hot wine while shedding a tear. Xiao Ran was not going to go back, because Ju Mang would soon follow Xia Xiao to the upper world. Before that, she hoped that her peerless hero could remember everything about her and call her name affectionately.
This is Xiaoran's only wish at the moment. Of course, on Xia Xiao's big day, she also hopes that Xia Xiao and Azhu can have a bright future. She believes that Xia Xiao and Azhu can turn everyone's blessings into reality, rather than just a commemoration that will last forever in the past and the present.
In this wedding, the groom got drunk very quickly. If it were normal, many people would advise him not to drink anymore, because there is no end to alcohol. But now, it is a time when nothing else matters to do. Xia Xiao has gone through so much hardship to grasp happiness and life, so how could he restrain himself today?
Xia Xiao toasted all the guests one cup after another. Seeing how obsessed he was, those who were happy for him also drank a few more cups to express their joy. Xia Xiao felt that he hadn't eaten much yet, but the guests at the table had decreased a lot, but he just said goodbye, saying "walk slowly all the way", and then returned to his seat.
After taking a few breaths, I saw that it was already afternoon, but there were still many people present. Su Zhongmou and others were drunk and could not even stand steadily with their cups in hand, but they still came over with support and looked at Xia Jinghong and his father who came to greet them, saying non-stop:
"Over the years, what I admire most is your Xia family. Some people say that the one who came from afar is the savior, while others say that it is just a lie. With my realm and height, I naturally don't understand the truth, but I believe that the Third Young Master can figure it out. And whether it is true or not, the Third Young Master is a hero of the Great Wilderness, and even more so a hero of the Great Xia. Today is your big day, please allow Su to toast you a glass of wine, and hope that the Third Young Master will be successful in everything in the future and return soon."
"Thank you, Brother Su."
"Thank you, Uncle Su, for taking care of me over the years."
Xia Xiao saluted, but Su Zhongmou shook his head.
"It's better not to mention the things that happened in the past. The main thing is that you did a good job!"
Su Zhongmou was not the only one who said this, but after he finished speaking, he left with a smile. No one knew what he was laughing at or why he was laughing like that, but he was still happy, just like Si Qingling's father. When he left, he said to his precious daughter:
"Xia Xiao's marriage was seen by everyone in the Great Wilderness. The few treacherous people in the Great Xia should also know about it and notice that we who came to the wedding banquet have the support of the Xia Mansion behind us. In this way, our words will be more effective in the future, and His Majesty will have reason to listen to our opinions directly."
Si Qingling had never understood much about the court, but she understood that what her father said at this time was of vital importance. When General Lin Tian came out of the Xia Mansion, he was radiant and energetic. He had a high alcohol tolerance, so although he drank a lot today, he was not drunk. But he finally saw that the Xia Mansion had completely risen and was safe, and he was more convinced in his heart that good people would be rewarded, and not all good people would die early.
Their departure was not the end of the wedding, Xia Xiao was still entertaining his classmates in the academy. Among them, Tianming talked the most. Qin Feng and Mu Lin only raised their glasses to Xia Xiao when they were drunk at the end:
"Brother Xiao, I wish you and sister-in-law a happy marriage, a good honeymoon, and a prosperous life in the future."
"We respect you. We hope that Brother Xiao will have smooth sailing in the future and that the Desolate Palace can become bigger and stronger in the world above!"
"You should practice hard and strive to be in the second batch to go to the above worlds."
Speaking of the second batch, Qin Feng and Mu Lin were both curious, so Xia Xiao explained:
"In order to maintain the balance, many people will go to the above worlds in the future. You should practice hard. I will let you become elders in the future and marry two wives in the above worlds."
"Brother Xiao, you can be an elder, but forget about your wife."
"You don't know, Mu Lin found a farm girl, and he sees her every now and then."
"Sure, Qin Feng, take a look and learn more from Mu Lin!"
Qin Feng smiled apologetically. He also wanted to find a wife, but he just couldn't find one. It was so annoying. He always felt that he was much better than Mu Lin, the blockhead. What a pity. But it could be considered a blessing for a fool!
Seeing Fenglu and the other two girls coming back, Tianming raised his last glass of wine and said to everyone:
"Let's toast to Xia Xiao together, and then let him go to accompany the bride!"
The banquet was almost empty, with only one person left, and the seats were full. When the grandmother saw that they had finished drinking the wine, she couldn't help but be surprised, is this a cultivator? It's really scary that the people at the table drank a wall of wine and didn't get drunk. But this time, it was the last glass!
When they clinked their glasses and the wine splashed, everyone smiled. Since graduation, it was difficult for them to get together as they were all over the world. This was a good opportunity. But in the future, there would be fewer such opportunities. This clink of glasses was a blessing to Xia Xiao and the others, and also a toast to the end of the banquet.
Everyone left one by one, Xia Xiao watched them go from the door, and then returned to her grandmother. But the latter had drunk a few glasses of wine, and now she was in high spirits, and smiled and declined:
"You don't need to take care of me. I will go back to Shanxin Palace with Doudou soon. You should go find Ah Zhu quickly. Don't let her wait too long."
Hearing this, Xia Xiao also felt polite and walked towards his room in the backyard. He was not in a state of mind to get drunk at this time, but he felt light-headed and his heart was always filled with joy. The wedding was the end of many stories, but it was not the end of Xia Xiao and Azhu's story. They still had a lot to go through, and this was actually another beginning.
This beginning is related to the above world, but it is not easy for the Great Wilderness to maintain balance. But no matter how difficult it is, Xia Xiao will achieve it. It is precisely because of his confidence that he can walk back to the room so leisurely at this time, and see Ah Zhu sitting by the bed, quietly waiting for him.
Seeing that the food on the table was untouched, with only a few cakes missing, Xia Xiao hurriedly walked to Ah Zhu and asked:
"Why didn't you eat?"
"I'm waiting for you. I knew you would keep drinking and wouldn't eat much."
Ah Zhu raised his head slightly and said to Xia Xiao:
"Lift up your veil!"
Xia Xiao's eyes were full of doting. He lifted Azhu's veil with Yu Ruyi, and seeing her expectant look, he hugged her very light body.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It's okay because I'm waiting for you."
"Such a sweet mouth."
Xia Xiao kissed her red lips, heard her stomach growling, and immediately laughed.
"Come, eat!"
"Okay, I'm almost starving."
Ah Zhu frowned and sat at the table with Xia Xiao, sweeping away all the dishes on the table. Xia Xiao accompanied her and looked at her from time to time, always feeling full of happiness. She also remembered a saying - to love someone, you have to eat many, many meals with her.
“This chicken is delicious!”
Ah Zhu stuffed his cheeks with his hands, his face full of enjoyment. Seeing this, Xia Xiao laughed even more happily and couldn't help but reach out to poke him.
"My dear, how are you going to spend your honeymoon?"
"I was curious last time, what does honeymoon mean?"
"It's just one month after the wedding. We can stop asking too many questions and just have fun."
"Then let's take grandma to the beach for a barbecue. Grandma has never been to the beach in her life. That day she accidentally said she wanted to go. Should we take her there?"
Ah Zhu knew that Xia Xiao would definitely agree, and he wouldn't mind having one more person on his honeymoon, but Xia Xiao asked again:
"It's definitely not enough to just go to one place. We need to go to the sea beast's palace and the Cloud Kingdom as well."
Xia Xiao's proposal made Ah Zhu clap her hands. She hadn't thought of so many places, but this way, they would be able to visit all the land, sea and air. They would stay in each place for a week, and for the rest of the time, they would stay in Xia Mansion. When the time was up, they would prepare to go to the above worlds.
