Zheng Ya grabbed Xu Qi and started to leave, but Fu Qingyao slapped them away: "What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging like that?"
Also, a wedding banquet at noon? A wedding?
"Oh well, alright!" Seeing his mother's fierce disdain, Zheng Ya had no choice but to agree.
Xu Qi smiled shyly: "Honey, Mom and I have discussed it and decided that we'll have a low-key wedding."
"We'll pick up my master's family and their relatives later, along with our familiar neighbors, to attend our wedding banquet."
"Okay, let's do it this way?"
In this new society, with its new atmosphere, the old customs of extravagant banquets and lavish spending are no longer appropriate.
"The more low-key our wedding is, the better." Fu Qingyao didn't want him, a public figure, to be criticized.
Given that the couple had been married for so long, the fact that they waited until now to hold their wedding banquet has led people to speculate that Zheng Ya's decision to get married and hold a wedding banquet after becoming famous was not without ulterior motives.
Zheng Ya had no objections and went downstairs to drive to his master's house to pick him up.
When Zheng Ya brought his master and his wife back to the courtyard house, they encountered an unexpected person, Lou Xiao'e.
The key point is that Lou Xiao'e is accompanied by a smiling Xu Damao, which is not normal.
Lou Xiao'e greeted him with a smile: "Comrade Zheng Ya, it's an honor to be your neighbor. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
"Well, whatever makes you happy!" Zheng Ya was puzzled. How did they end up living together?
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they said their goodbyes and left.
Xu Qi then leaned close to his ear and said, "Lou Xiao'e married into Xu Damao's family the day before yesterday. She even hosted a banquet for the neighbors in the courtyard when she got married."
Should we invite them to our wedding?
"No need, right?" Zheng Ya saw his mother glaring at him and decisively refused.
The family accompanied the elderly couple into the courtyard house, and immediately became unsettled.
Old Master Sun exclaimed to his spendthrift son, "You brat, this is such a waste of money!"
"This entire building is constructed entirely of Phoebe zhennan wood!"
Old Sun was a discerning person; he trembled with heartache at the sight of it.
Fortunately, Fu Qingyao covered for him and prevented him from being scolded: "Old Master Sun, golden nanmu is valuable outside, but your apprentice can easily make golden nanmu mature."
If you need it, have him produce a batch of Phoebe zhennan wood for you…
"Uh, I forgot about his skills. It's alright then!" Old Sun was relieved. Living in a house made of Phoebe zhennan wood based on his own abilities is not extravagance.
A courtyard house, three stories high, with an additional basement garage.
The total area is 368 square meters.
The successfully completed courtyard house consists of four square rooms surrounding a central garden, with external corridors and balconies, and internal cloisters.
The central garden covers an area of 68 square meters.
This means that the building has a floor area of 300 square meters. In addition to Zheng Ya's old house protruding out of the courtyard building, forming a welcoming hall layout, the back is a house surrounded by four sides.
Each floor has eighteen rooms, with two internal staircases. The three-story pavilion is built in the style of stargazing and moon viewing, forming a carved beam and painted pillar wooden building that exudes a refreshing fragrance of nanmu wood.
Wu Wei stood at the door, glaring angrily, and said, "Your house is really impressive!"
You've turned my house into a beggar's den, congratulations!
"Mom, this is the wild girl you raised..." Zheng Ya didn't know what he had done to offend her. She had just come back and was already picking a fight. Was that really necessary?
Fu Qingyao said irritably, "You're a married adult, why are you arguing with a child who hasn't grown up yet?"
"Oh right, little one, come on, have some wedding candy?" Zheng Ya offered the wedding candy, and Wu Wei was furious. She was also provoked by her adoptive mother's words: "I'll eat it, why shouldn't I eat it?"
It's free, no money given, but it tastes delicious!
"Pfft, don't be angry. Bring him home for the wedding banquet." Xu Qi politely defuses the conflict between the two.
Wu Wei didn't want to give him a hard time, so she agreed with a smile.
Zheng Ya led his master and mistress into the hall, where Xu Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Mom, why are there trees planted in the yard?"
"Yes, the trees weren't planted yesterday. No, wait, brat, aren't you going to explain yourself?" Fu Qingyao was stunned when she strode into the yard. So many fragrant flowers and trees, it smelled so good!
The osmanthus tree, with clusters of osmanthus flowers hanging from its branches, fills the house with fragrance.
Crabapple, chrysanthemum, lily, rose, and many other flowers bloom in profusion.
The entire courtyard was filled with flowers, all in full bloom.
This is abnormal in itself; flowers that aren't from the same season are all blooming today. It's amazing.
Zheng Ya said with a smile, "Hehe, the wedding gift from my martial arts master, including all the furniture in each room, has been provided."
It has a flush toilet, a shower, and a bathtub.
The kitchen is equipped with all the modern cooking utensils.
"Oh, really? I'll go check it out right now!" Fu Qingyao doesn't like flowers but loves military uniforms, though she has a special fondness for the kitchen.
Old Sun was dazzled: "Wow, this is truly a luxurious mansion!"
Aren't you afraid of getting reported?
"Master, why don't you and your wife stay here with me from now on?" Zheng Ya didn't offer any explanation; it was impossible for the people in the courtyard not to be envious.
As for reporting it, that's not true.
The problem is that neither the neighborhood committee nor the police station will accept the case!
Given Zheng Ya's current contributions to the country, anyone who dares to provoke him is asking for trouble.
The master's wife said with great joy, "Old man, let's stay here. You'll object to what I said, won't you?"
"Ahem, my apprentice was just being polite, but you took it seriously!" Old Sun laughed, the old woman loved a good show, no one could resist.
Zheng Ya smiled and said, "It's alright, Master, I'm serious."
Look at my building, it has three floors and eighteen rooms on each floor, there's simply not enough space for everyone!
"With Master and Mistress moving in, it's like a warm house for my family, bringing longevity and good fortune to our golden village—it's a wonderful thing!"
"Haha, Master doesn't care anymore, it's all the same wherever we live." Old Sun said this, but he was secretly pleased. This was the ideal place to retire!
After seeing the new equipment in the kitchen, Fu Qingyao panicked: "You brat, hurry up and come over to prepare for the wedding banquet."
"What time is it? Hurry up!"
"Alright, eight plates and four bowls, I'll take care of it!" Zheng Ya bid farewell to his master and mistress and stepped into the kitchen, where he saw Xu Qi touching this and that, but hesitant to use them: "How do you use these things?"
"Gas stove, range hood, this is how you should use them..." Zheng Ya directly explained the use of kitchen utensils to the two of them, then shooed them out of the kitchen, and with a wave of his hand, eight plates and four bowls were ready.
While others cook by following a set procedure, Zheng Ya simply has to think about it in his special ability space, and delicious dishes are cooked exactly as he wishes.
That's the allure of spatial abilities.
"Wow, this building is so beautiful!" Ouyang Wenqian and others congratulated her one after another, and thirty security personnel from the planting base also came.
In an instant, the courtyard was filled with people.
Fu Qingyao felt something was missing: "You brat, is the wedding banquet ready? Have all the guests arrived?"
Also, have you prepared the "double happiness" characters for your wedding?
"Here they come, here they come, isn't that just a matter of waving goodbye?" Zheng Ya walked out of the kitchen, waved his hand, and the whole building was covered with festive paper-cuts, instantly filling the room with joy.
"Great! Clap clap clap!" The hall erupted in cheers; double happiness had arrived, the feast began...
