Chapter 996: 996 getting married 1 (Monthly ticket extra 17)

A new wife is not allowed to cook, so Xiao Yuchuan had asked some of the village sister-in-laws to help wash the vegetables.

As for frying, Xiao Yuchuan had hired two chefs from the town; the chefs arrived at the Xiao Family’s place on the evening before the feast and were arranged to stay in the spare room of Qinghe’s home.

The fifth day of the lunar month is suitable for marriage.

As soon as daybreak appeared, Xiao Yuchuan couldn’t wait to put on his groom’s robe; his hair was neatly combed behind his head, tied with red silk, and a big red silk ribbon hung diagonally across his chest, with a big red flower tied to it.

Zhou Fuquan and his wife had long agreed to come over and help today.

As soon as they entered the Xiao Family’s courtyard door, seeing Xiao Yuchuan, Fuquan joked, “Brother, you look radiant and particularly handsome today!”

“Of course,” Xiao Yuchuan glanced at the brightening sky, “I’ve been looking forward to this for so long.

I was afraid my wife would fly away.

My heart was almost breaking.

Finally, the day to get married has arrived!”

“Hey, where could your wife possibly fly to if she wouldn’t even be the Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s shopkeeper lady?

Just relax.” Zhou Fuquan enviously exclaimed, “Brother, your wife is really too good.”

“Don’t just envy me, Cuihua is not bad either.

You should be content.”

Zhou Fuquan scratched his head, “My Cuihua is good, and she even gave me a son.

Brother, you’ve got to put in extra effort tonight.”

“Do I even need to say it!” Xiao Yuchuan, thinking about his wife’s figure and the comfortable feeling of holding his wife, felt his whole body boiling with blood.

The Xiao Family owned one hundred acres of farmland.

Without dividing the family property, they had the most land per household in the village.

After dividing the family property, Xiao Yuchuan, based on the land alone, had only just over 33 acres.

Wushan Village was a large village with more than one hundred households, his family’s land was not the most, but with more than a thousand taels of cash silver, they were still the largest local landlords in the village.

When a local landlord gets married, many children in the village come to ask for snacks.

Xiao Yuchuan had already prepared a lot of snacks like fried soybeans and roasted pumpkin seeds to buy.

The visiting children each received a little and happily took their share and left.

The auspicious time to get married was in the afternoon, during the hour of the monkey; in modern times, that would be around two o’clock in the afternoon.

After breakfast, more villagers came to visit the Xiao Family, making it a very lively scene.

Although the feast was after the hour of the monkey, the Xiao Family had prepared meals early for those who arrived early.

Because the Xiao Family had prepared an especially large amount of food, with tea and cakes included, some villagers who were not invited also came to visit and seek extra treats.

Xiao Yuchuan warmly welcomed everyone.

Within the Shi Family’s home, it was as gloomy as if covered with dark clouds.

The Shi Family’s second son, Shi Fang, had been locked up, and the county magistrate, who had been bribed by Xiao Yuchuan, wouldn’t even allow visits to the prison.

Not only that, but ever since a thief emerged from the Shi Family, many matchmakers who had previously proposed to Shi Shanzao also withdrew their offers.

It was said that as soon as the men heard she had a thieving second brother, they feared the female’s character would not be good.

Besides, the fact that Shi Shanzao was shameless enough to want to be Yuchuan’s “little one” had already spread far and wide.

For a while, Shi Shanzao’s reputation also stank.

The Shi Family hated the Xiao Family to death, yet they were helpless to do anything about it.

…

The Jin Mansion in the town.

Jin Xun was sitting in a lounger in the courtyard, resting with his eyes closed.

The servant Ji was attending to him on the side.

“Why is the sun so scorching?” Jin Xun complained somewhat.

“Master, would you like to go back to your room to rest?” Ji carefully asked.

Jin Xun stood up, “No need, I just feel inexplicably upset today.”

Ji roughly guessed what was troubling his master.

Jin Xun walked to the pond next to the artificial hill in the courtyard, “What day of the lunar month is it today?”
