Chapter 709: Perfect Wedding
"Dad, Aunt Chen, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, you are all here, please come in."
Wan Quan opened the door of the general's mansion early in the morning to welcome the Wan family.
"Quan'er, is this your general's mansion? Oh, it's really magnificent."
Boss Wan's eyes were wide open. He walked forward and gently touched the two majestic stone lions at the door, feeling very excited.
Mr. and Mrs. Wan quickly and quietly adjusted their clothes.
"Wife, look, is my dress okay?"
"It's fine. What about me? How about my clothes? Don't let the servants in the mansion laugh at us for coming from the countryside." Mrs. Wan San was also very nervous. This was her first time to come to the general's mansion, which was considered a wealthy family.
Wan Lao Si was relatively calm, but Liu was a little uneasy. She held Wan Yu in her arms and looked at him curiously, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Quan'er, is your grandma in good health?" Boss Wan looked at her for a long time before asking.
"Dad, grandma is fine. She is waiting for you in the inner courtyard. It's too hot, and it's a bit far for her to come out. I thought we were all family, so I didn't let her out."
"You did the right thing." Boss Wan patted Wan Quan's shoulder heavily, and looked Wan Quan up and down carefully.
"You've grown taller, stronger, and look like an official. That's good."
Boss Wan felt inexplicably sad.
"Dad, let's go in and talk first. Grandma must be getting anxious waiting for you."
"Oh, okay."
Wan Quan brought everyone to Changshou Hall. Everyone exclaimed in amazement as they walked along the way. Servants bowed and greeted them along the way, which shocked Wan Laosan and his wife and Liu.
"We're here. This is grandma's longevity hall."
Banxia was waiting at the door. When she saw Wanquan and his men coming, she quickly saluted.
"This servant greets the masters and madams. The old lady has been waiting for a long time and asked me to come out to see you several times. You are finally here. The old lady has been talking about you all the time."
Banxia said with a smile.
Everyone laughed and walked into the Changshou Hall.
The family hadn't seen each other for many days, and when they met, they had endless things to talk about.
Lunch was served directly in Old Lady Wan’s longevity hall, with two tables inside and outside, separated by a screen.
In fact, there is no need to follow Mrs. Wan's opinion, but there are many people in the mansion now. She has asked Tong Yan about the rules of wealthy families, so she also acts in accordance with the rules. After all, Wan Quan's wedding is coming soon, and there are many servants in the family, and it is easy for bad rumors to spread. If the Liu family finds out, it will give them an excuse.
Old Mrs. Wan knew that her family had already married into a wealthy family, and she didn't want her eldest grandson to be inferior to others in the future and be laughed at for not knowing the rules.
After the welcoming banquet, Wan Quan took each family to the courtyard that had been arranged in advance to rest.
Boss Wan was kept by Old Lady Wan.
"Boss, there is something I need to tell you. After all, you are Quan'er's biological father. Although I am the one who makes the decision on this matter, I still want to let you know."
"Mom, whatever's the matter, just tell me." Boss Wan had drunk some wine and was a little sleepy after days of traveling.
Seeing that he looked tired, Mrs. Wan didn't waste any words and directly told Mr. Wan that Wan Quan recognized Wan Ersao as his mother.
"What? Recognize your second brother's wife as your mother? Mother, how can this be possible? Even if he doesn't want to recognize Shen as his mother, he can't recognize your second brother's wife, right? Why are you joining him in making trouble? Where is the face of Shen?"
Boss Wan was half sober.
Old Mrs. Wan knew that Boss Wan would definitely have opinions, and this was within her expectations, so she was still calm.
"What are you yelling about? Can anyone hear it?" Old Mrs. Wan looked fierce and scolded Boss Wan in a cold voice.
Only then did Boss Wan look into the room and saw that there was no one else in the room and the maid had been sent away by Old Lady Wan.
"Mom, I..."
"Okay, I know what you're thinking, but Quan'er is a general now, not a three-year-old child. He has his own ideas and we can't interfere. Besides, think about it yourself, have you and your deceased wife ever taken care of Quan'er? Quan'er has been raised by me since he was born, and then after the second son got married, he was raised in the second house. Have you ever asked?"
After hearing this, Boss Wan lowered his head.
"Mom, isn't it because Quan'er's mom is not a person who can live a good life? You can't blame me for this. I have to take care of the outside world and the family at the same time, so I can't do it."
"Then do you think that Quan'er's recognition of the second son's wife as his mother hurts your face? Or does it hurt your wife's face? Shen is not Quan'er's biological mother. Go back and tell her about this. I believe Shen will understand. I am also notifying you in advance. Quan'er said that he will serve tea to the second son and his wife during his wedding ceremony. I am afraid that you will not know and do something embarrassing."
Boss Wan had nothing to say. He really had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Now that things had come to this, what else could he say? But he was also grateful to the second wife.
"I understand, mother. I'll go back and rest now."
"Go ahead and tell Mrs. Shen as well." Old Mrs. Wan waved her hands tiredly, and the matter was finally settled.
Everything for the wedding has been basically prepared, except for bringing the bride back.
The tenth day of September is a good day. On this day, the whole Dezhou Prefecture is filled with festive red silk.
The red carpet stretched from the entrance of the general's mansion to the entrance of the Liu family's house.
The two mansions are not in the same urban area, one is in the east and the other in the west, but even so, the Wan family still rolled out the red carpet.
There were also children on both sides of the street wearing festive red dresses, holding flower baskets and scattering flower petals continuously.
All of this is managed by my family.
At this moment, those people who secretly mocked the Wan family for being poor and shabby were also shocked.
There hasn't been a big move like this in Texas in a hundred years.
"What is the origin of this Wan family? Aren't they from the countryside? How can they be so rich? It must cost a lot of money to lay this red carpet from the General's Mansion to the Liu family?"
"Although the red carpet cost a lot of money, the flowers and flower girls also cost a lot of money. And the betrothal gifts, look at them, they are all good things."
People along the street were talking about it, and the teahouses and taverns along the street were crowded with people. Everyone leaned on the railings to look out, some people joined in the fun and scattered flower petals from the upper floors, adding a festive atmosphere to the already bustling street.
The Liu family also hung red silks. Lord Liu came back in person to marry his daughter off because the marriage gave him an unexpected promotion. He felt that his daughter had married well and that the benefits were greater than the original marriage they had planned.
The father-in-law is in a good mood and will definitely work harder to promote his son-in-law in the future. Wanquan's future can be said to be bright.
The lively wedding lasted for a whole day, and everyone in the Wan family was so tired that they wanted to find a place to lie down.
After drinking the new bride's tea, the Wan family stayed in the general's mansion for another two or three days and then headed back.
There are still a lot of things waiting for them to deal with at the border. Wan Laoer handed over all the potato purchases this year to Jia Yanbing. The experimental crops in the fields are also waiting for Wan Laoer to harvest. Wan Laoer wished he could grow two wings and fly back home quickly.
