Hu Tianqin was chewing on a piece of beef jerky when Yi Mu came out dressed.
On her face, draped in light makeup and a veil, her eyebrows were lightly swept, her eyes were angled slightly, and her pink face and delicate lips were just the right touch.
The elegant lake-colored dress, with gold powder sprinkled on the hem, resembles shimmering golden sunlight scattered on the lake's surface. It complements the gilded hairpin in her hair, and the belt accentuates her slender waist.
The beef jerky he was holding in his mouth fell out because his mouth was slightly open in amazement.
Fortunately, Hu Tianjin reacted quickly and caught it before it fell to the ground.
He walked up to Yi Mu, circled him, looked him up and down, left and right, his face full of disbelief.
"Luckily you listened to my advice. If such a beautiful woman lived alone, how many lecherous men would covet her?"
Yi Mu scolded him in a deliberately brightened and softer voice: "Wipe your drool, you have such a dirty face!"
Hu Tianqin was even more surprised and stopped in front of him, saying, "Call me 'husband' so I can hear it."
Yi Mu stepped on him with her foot, displaying the complete demeanor of a submissive woman.
"Shut up, you bastard!"
Hu Tianqin stood on one leg, clutching his foot, and exclaimed, "If you go out for a walk now, even if you talk to someone face to face, no one will suspect anything."
The news that Hu Tianqin was about to get married spread throughout the alley.
The Hu family's courtyard was more than enough for two people, but with one more person added, it became a bit crowded.
Hu Tianqin gave the landlord an extra two hundred taels of silver, knocked down the wall connecting the house to the neighboring courtyard, and then rented the adjacent house as well.
The children are all grown up; it's not appropriate to have them live with us anymore, and it will cause gossip.
The official explanation for Yimu's disappearance was that he had urgent business to attend to and left in a hurry, without even having time to take his children with him.
Hu Tianqin, being kind-hearted, took Ziruo in.
Everyone praised him for being kind-hearted and honest.
On the day of the wedding, although the ceremony was not grand, Hu Tianqin did not miss any of the proper etiquette.
Five tables were set up in the courtyard that had been opened up, and friends who did business in the alley and on the street were invited to the wedding banquet.
Hu Tianqin's bride has always been a mystery. No one has ever seen her. All that is known is that she is shy and doesn't go out often.
As the banquet drew to a close, everyone started clamoring to see the bride and to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber.
Hu Tianqin was not stingy and opened the door generously.
The men and women of all ages in the alley rushed into the room, urging Hu Tianqin to quickly lift the veil.
The bride, sitting on the edge of the wedding bed, trembled slightly from the waist down, as if she were afraid of so many people.
Hu Tianqin slowly lifted the heavy red veil with a bamboo pole tied with a red rope.
Everyone craned their necks to look ahead, and the bride raised her head.
For a moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at the rare beauty before them, completely mesmerized.
Everyone says that Hu Tianqin is a lucky guy, but no one expected him to be this lucky, marrying a wife who is more beautiful than a celestial being.
Such beauty is usually found only in wealthy and powerful families; it's unexpected that such a stunning beauty could be hidden in the countryside.
"Making a ruckus in the bridal chamber" means, as the name suggests, making the bridal chamber as lively as possible.
Seeing the beautiful bride, everyone swarmed around her, hoping to take advantage of her.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly delicate woman possessed considerable strength.
Hands reaching out to take advantage of others were slapped away one by one, the force so strong it made people wince in pain.
The strongest butcher in the alley was a lecherous man who drooled over the young woman's fair and delicate face.
The groping hand reached out, intending to grope her breasts.
Hu Tianqin's expression changed.
Yi Mu smiled and flicked the razor blade hidden under her fingernails.
The butcher cried out in pain, clutching his bleeding hand, and the crowd roared, calling him a lewd scoundrel.
