This was the most grand engagement banquet in the capital recently. Qin Jian invited many families, and the scene was very lively and festive.
He did everything he could to support her and make sure the entire capital witnessed his marriage to Peng Yuan.
This is how he responds to all the years she's given him, and tells her it was all worth it.
However, such a scene would be extremely chaotic. Fortunately, Madam Sun and Jiang Jiuniang brought many people to help, otherwise, trouble would definitely have broken out.
Looking at the lively scene, Lu Baichuan suddenly realized that he had never given his wife a grand wedding.
Back in my hometown, we didn't have much money, let alone a grand wedding banquet. We just set up two or three tables in our own yard, invited relatives from the clan to drink, and that was how the wedding was arranged.
Moreover, the woman he married back then wasn't his current wife, so he always felt indebted to her.
"You guys hang up this big red flower, it's bigger and more festive!"
The sound of my wife's voice came from afar; she was busy shouting and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
Lu Baichuan immediately stopped thinking about those things, personally took some water, pulled the person aside, let her drink the water, and then said, "Wasn't all of this arranged long ago?"
"Well, I don't think there's any use for the remaining few big red flowers, so let's have them find a place to hang them up to add some festive cheer."
Jiang Jiuniang took another sip of water; she had been calling out all morning and was indeed extremely thirsty.
"How about we have a wedding ceremony when I get back from the border?"
Qin Jian's marriage is in such a hurry, he can't cause trouble at this time, he'll talk about it when he gets back.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't answer immediately, but reached out to touch his forehead: "Are you alright?"
The kids are all grown up, why bother with a wedding ceremony?
It's not like we're remarrying or anything!
"I was thinking..."
Lu Baichuan wanted to explain, but Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand to interrupt: "I know what you mean. You just feel that you have wronged me. Things are not the same as before, and you want to make up for it. But I don't think it's necessary. I have taken over this body, so everything that this body has experienced is me. We have already performed the wedding ceremony in front of our parents and had the witness of our relatives. That is enough."
Jiang Jiuniang is not a very calculating person. If they had only just met and fallen in love, she would naturally be happy to hold a grand wedding.
But now we're an old married couple, and the kids are all grown up, so there's no need to do that again; it's too much trouble.
It's enough for her to know that Lu Baichuan has feelings for her.
Seeing that she was unwilling, Lu Baichuan did not force her and said, "Don't bother, let's go find Mother and go to the front hall to prepare dinner."
This is an engagement banquet, where men and women sit at separate tables, but it doesn't have to be too strict; a screen is enough to separate them.
"Mother is over there, I'll go find her."
As Jiang Jiuniang was about to leave, Lu Baichuan silently followed behind her. He had less and less time to spend with his wife, so naturally he would take every opportunity to be with her.
On the other side, Qin Jian also took the opportunity to secretly talk to Peng Yuan. Since the two were getting engaged today, they had both dressed up specially.
Peng Yuan's makeup and styling were done by someone sent by Jiang Jiuniang, which was also Peng Yuan's request beforehand. She said she liked Jiang Jiuniang's makeup very much and wanted to see if it suited her.
Two days before the trial makeup session, Peng Yuan fell in love with the look and decided on the spot that she wanted to dress up like this, and even wanted to have this style for her wedding!
Faced with Peng Yuan, who was practically her apprentice, Jiang Jiuniang naturally wouldn't refuse and readily agreed, painting her like a celestial maiden descended to earth, leaving Qin Jian completely mesmerized.
"you……"
Qin Jian opened his mouth, but his mind was entirely on her face.
How come the little girl has become even more beautiful in just a few days?
I made a profit!
How many lifetimes of good deeds did I accumulate to deserve this?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he remained silent, Peng Yuan felt both shy and at a loss.
This person called me out clearly because they had something to say, but now they're not saying anything. Could it be that they have something difficult to say?
"nothing……"
Qin Jian instinctively denied it, but then realized what he meant and said, "Oh, I was just wondering what you've been busy with lately, and if there's anything I can do to help."
Peng Yuan's heart tightened, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no need!"
She was worried that Qin Jian would find out her feelings, so she kept it a secret and didn't want to tell him even now.
Seeing her like this, Qin Jian had a hunch and said to himself, "Then let me guess. You're always going to see your sister-in-law, so if I'm not mistaken, you're probably learning medicine from her, right?"
Peng Yuan's eyes widened. How did he guess?
They were very careful!
"Are you worried I won't support you because you didn't tell me?"
Peng Yuan didn't answer, so Qin Jian took it as a tacit agreement.
At this moment, forgetting all romantic thoughts, Qin Jian said very seriously, "Do whatever you like without worry, I'll definitely be on your side. I've always admired your wife for being so accomplished as a woman, making us all feel inferior. Women don't necessarily have to hide behind men; they can do what they like too. I just want to tell you that as long as you remember I'll always be there for you, just tell me if you encounter any difficulties, and I'll naturally protect you."
The only experience he had over the years was acting alongside Xinran. Although it was fake, he still specially sought out someone to learn a lot and gained some understanding of women. Otherwise, Xinran wouldn't have wanted to take him with her when she ran away.
Therefore, seeing that Peng Yuan had been busy with her own things and didn't seem to have told him about his plans, he became a little anxious, afraid that Peng Yuan would misunderstand. So he decided to make things clear to her before the wedding.
It's best for couples not to have any secrets, otherwise they won't be of one mind.
He didn't want the girl who had waited for him for so many years to live in constant fear after marriage; it pained him.
Peng Yuan was truly surprised by his words, and a warm feeling washed over her, warming her entire body.
Since Qin Jian could say that, she naturally wouldn't doubt his sincerity. However, she still didn't dare to tell him in advance about her desire to join the army, for fear that he would try to stop her if he found out, and then her plan would be ruined.
"I see."
Peng Yuan nodded, gave him a genuine, relaxed smile, and even felt a little embarrassed because she had kept something from him, so she took the initiative to hold his hand.
"Let's go back, our parents will be looking for us soon."
Today is their engagement banquet, and there are many and diverse guests. They can't afford to be a laughing stock.
Qin Jian, whose hand was taken by the initiative, felt his heart soar to the heavens. He had a silly smile on his face, and like a lost soul, he followed Peng Yuan back to the banquet in a soft and blissful manner.
