Yu Wan had never married in her two lifetimes, so she did not know that one had to wake up so early to get married. Before her family’s pheasants could even coo, she was already picked up by her aunt. Her aunt had long changed into bright clothes and combed her hair into a shiny bun. She had put on the jade beads and silver hairpin that she usually could not bear to take out and even applied bright red lipstick.
Yu Wan looked at her aunt in amazement and said sincerely, “Aunt, you should have dressed like this long ago. You’re more than ten years younger.”
Aunt blushed and pretended to glare at her. “Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get up!”
Yu Wan looked at the dark window and asked aggrievedly, “Did the chicken crow?”
Aunt was both angry and amused. “The family raises hens. Do you expect the hens to crow?”
“Cuckoo—”
In the chicken cage in the woodshed, there were indeed a few hen cries.
Aunt: “…”
Yu Wan : “…”
The pheasants today were very powerful. Each of them had laid two eggs! Aunt asked Aunt Zhang to help her collect the eggs, saying that she would pack them for Yu Wan and bring them to the Young Master Manor to eat.
Yu Wan imagined herself stepping into the Young Master Manor with a basket of eggs and getting married… and choked hard.
Aunt Zhang cooked a bowl of brown sugar eggs and brought it over for Yu Wan to eat. Aunt was worried that Yu Wan would be hungry later, so she forced Yu Wan to eat ten pickled vegetables and pork dumplings. Yu Wan was so full that she couldn’t walk. At this time, the person with full blessings arrived.
The person with full blessings was surnamed Wu. She was the cousin of the village headman of the Wu Village. She married an honest hunter and gave birth to three sons and a daughter. Her parents-in-law were healthy and her relationships with her in-laws were harmonious. There were few people in the surrounding villages who were as lucky as her. Aunt had invited her to dress Yu Wan up so that Yu Wan could benefit from her fortune. In the future, she would also be on par with her husband, have many children, and have a smooth life.
Yu Wan thought to herself, How can there be so much smooth sailing in the world? The Capital is a trap, but if her children and Yan Jiuchao were at the bottom of the trap, she was willing to jump in together.
Yu Wan’s room had also been decorated. A big red Double Happiness word was pasted and her beddings were changed to a red bedding. Everything looked so jubilant. She sat in a pile of bright colors in plain cotton pajamas, yet she did not lose out either. Instead, she was like a clean magnolia that bloomed with an extremely beautiful beauty.
Madam Wu was immediately stunned. She had seen so many beautiful girls, but this was the first time she felt that applying makeup on her face was blasphemy.
“Sister Wu, please come in.” Aunt politely welcomed her into the room and said to Yu Wan, “This is Madam Wu.”
Everyone in the countryside called her Madam.
Yu Wan stood up and greeted, “Madam Wu.”
Her voice was also pleasant, and her actions were not coy. She was generous and proper. Madam Wu really liked Yu Wan no matter how she looked at her. She was very similar to Madam Jiang back then. When Madam Jiang married into the village, she had also caused a stir. They had never seen such a fairy-like beauty before and thought that they would never see another one in their lives. Obviously, they were all wrong.
“Take a shower and change first,” Madam Wu said, suppressing the shock in her heart.
The three little fellows were carried to the room next door to sleep with Little Bruiser. The wooden bucket was newly bought, and the petals were newly plucked. Yu Wan took a comfortable hot bath and changed into bright red inner clothes. At the end, she put on her wedding dress.
The wedding dress… The wedding dress was too complicated for Yu Wan to wear. Madam Wu and Aunt worked together to wear this wedding dress with a Luan embroidered on it. Below the phoenix was the qing luan. This was a wedding dress that only the Princess Consort was qualified to wear. Of course, the three of them did not understand. They only felt that this wedding dress was extremely beautiful and the material was so comfortable that they could not bear to part with it. Yu Wan had clearly not put on makeup, but she already had a noble aura.
Aunt and Madam Wu were stunned.
Yu Wan turned around and saw Madam Jiang standing at the door with a smile. Her eyes were deep and warm. Yu Wan’s heart warmed and she walked over. “Did I disturb you, Mom?”
It was all Yu Song’s fault. Why did he set off firecrackers in the dark? Not only did he wake her up, but he also woke her mother up. Fortunately, the children did not cry. Otherwise, they would have been busy this morning.
Madam Jiang shook her head and gently stroked Yu Wan’s beautiful hair. “Ah Wan is so beautiful.”
Yu Wan lowered her head shyly. Why was she, who didn’t even know how to be shy in front of Yan Jiuchao, always “flirting” with her mother?
Madam Jiang held Yu Wan’s hand and entered the room.
In her memory, this was the first time her mother was holding her hand. Her mother’s palm was cold, but her heart was burning, and even her ears were burning.
Yu Wan was like an obedient child as she was led to a chair by Madam Jiang. Madam Wu opened the makeup box and began to put on Yu Wan’s makeup. Before putting on her makeup, she first twisted a thread on her face. It was said that this was called opening her face. Every bride would experience it. Madam Wu moved very quickly, and Yu Wan did not feel much pain before it ended. Yu Wan’s skin was so fair that it was glowing. If it wasn’t for the thin calluses on her palms, Madam Wu would have thought that she was a girl who was pampered all year round.
Madam Wu put on Yu Wan’s makeup while Madam Jiang and Aunt watched from the side. Madam Jiang’s gaze was gentle, and Aunt’s eyes were red.
After putting on her makeup, she combed her hair. Madam Wu held Yu Wan’s long hair and slowly combed it with a silver comb.
Yu Wan hesitated and wondered if she was going to recite something. Indeed, she heard Madam Wu recite, “First combing, together all your lives. Second combing, harmony in your marriage. Third combing, blessed with many children and grandchildren…”
After Madam Wu finished reciting, she finished combing her hair. Yu Wan put on the phoenix crown and her long golden tassel hung on her forehead, half covering her eyes. As the golden light flickered, she saw her face in the bronze mirror. Not to mention Madam Wu, even she almost did not recognize herself. Was this dignified and charming woman really her? Yes, she had changed into a different person. She finally believed that she was at the age of marriage.
On the other side, the children also woke up. The first to open their eyes was Xiaobao. When he woke up, he found that he was sleeping in another room. Yu Wan was not around, so he immediately cried. When he cried, Erbao and Dabao also woke up. Then, they also cried.
Little Bruiser looked at the three “little brothers” who were competing in crying louder. “…”
Aunt and Madam Jiang carried the children over. The three of them looked at Yu Wan, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and robe, in a daze for a long time.
The three of them had also changed into festive clothes. They were wearing the same wedding clothes as the groom. They each wore a small red flower on their chests, making them look extremely cute.
Yu Wan could not help but kiss her sons’ little faces one by one. The three of them left shyly with the fiery red lipstick marks on their faces.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and it was lively inside and out. Yu Shaoqing, Uncle, and Yu Feng were busy entertaining the guests. Madam Jiang and Aunt had been accompanying Yu Wan in the room. The auspicious time was at night, and Yu Wan guessed that the bridal escort team would only arrive at the village in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, at nine o’clock, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.
“The bridal escort is here! The bridal escort is here—” Aunt Bai’s loud and clear voice was heard by the entire village. The children in the village rushed out like a swarm of bees and surrounded the bridegroom’s team to watch the commotion.
The ones who came to welcome the bride were Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen. The two of them were sitting on a tall horse. They were wearing dark red brocade clothes and walking on a pair of spotless white and black shoes. Their facial features were handsome and heroic. Behind the two of them was a carriage hung with red silk. The carriage was escorted majestically by twenty guards from the Young Master Manor. There were also ten burly men leading the horses. On the horses were the musicians hired with a lot of money.
This lineup shocked everyone in the surrounding villages.
“I heard she married a rich young master from the city!” An auntie from another village said.
“It’s the girl from the Yu family, right?” An old man from another village said.
The auntie said, “Yes, she’s the daughter of the Yu family. My nephew was a carpenter at her construction site! Did you see that big house? My nephew built it!”
When she said this, her face was filled with pride. One had to know that when she heard that her nephew was going to Lotus Flower Village to work, she was the first to object. She said that there was no good job in such a poor place and that he should hurry to town to find a proper job. Now, she was extremely glad that her nephew did not listen to her. Her nephew had worked for the Yu family for a month and earned more than a year outside.
“I wonder if the Yu family still needs anyone to work…” The auntie craned her neck and muttered as she looked around. She secretly swore that if the Yu family recruited more workers, she would definitely be the first to chase her son over!
“What Miss Yu? She’s just a little widow that no one wants!” A young wife from Apricot Flower Village spoke.
“What are you talking about?” The auntie looked at her unhappily.
Everyone also looked at her. The villagers of Lotus Flower Village had been invited by the Yu family to do something. At this moment, the people surrounding the village entrance to watch the commotion were all from other villages.
The little wife of Apricot Flower Village snorted in disdain. “Don’t you know? She was engaged to a scholar from the Zhao family when she was young. After that, she hooked up with a man outside and the Zhao family found out about that so they broke off the engagement. Only those city people don’t know her background, and thought that he had married a virgin. If you ask me… Ah—”
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Bai threw a bucket of shit at her!
“Ahh—” The little wife of Apricot Flower Village screamed on the spot. If it were in the past, it might have caused a commotion. However, no one in the village heard her suffer today. As for the outsiders who were watching the commotion, it was none of their business. Moreover, it was indeed her who spoke nonsense.
Aunt Bai grabbed her collar, picked up the soles of her shoes, and slapped her. The little wife was slapped until she covered her head and fled!
Aunt Bai kicked her to the ground. “Can’t you just hide at home? Why do you have to come out and cause trouble? Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Do you believe that I’ll slap you to death!”
There were also a few men from Apricot Flower Village at the scene. Just as they were about to stand up for the little wife, Shuanzi’s brother led a group of retired soldiers over. All of them were carrying machetes and looked fierce, scaring them until they peed their pants!
Amidst everyone’s laughter, the people from Apricot Flower Village fled in a sorry state.
Yu Wan was carried onto the carriage by Yu Feng.
Yu Wan always felt that she had lived for two lifetimes. In her eyes, be it Yu Feng or Yan Jiuchao, they were both young puppies. It was not until she lay on his broad shoulders that she finally felt that she was a sister and this man was a big brother she could rely on.
“Big brother.”
“Yes?”
“Nothing. Just calling.”
On the other side, Little Bruiser finally realized what a wedding meant. It wasn’t that he had a brother-in-law at home, but that he was going to lose a sister.
Yu Wan got into the carriage, but the moment he couldn’t get in, he cried like the little munchkins this morning! “I want Sis—I want Sis—”
Little Bruiser burst into tears!
“This child!” Aunt cried because of Little Bruiser too.
Little Bruiser rushed to the carriage but was hugged by Yu Shaoqing.
Yu Shaoqing hugged his heartbroken son and held his gentle wife’s hand with his other hand as he stared fixedly in the direction of the carriage.
The three little lads sat beside Yu Wan. Their little heads were squeezed out of the window. When they saw Little Bruiser crying, they wanted to cry too. Boohoo~
The bride did not cry, but the four children cried bitterly.
Yu Wan wanted to take another look at her parents and family. Just as she touched the veil, Shadow Thirteen said, “It’s only auspicious if the groom takes off the veil.”
Yu Wan put down her hand.
The little munchkins waved at their uncle aggrievedly. Little Bruiser cried until he was out of breath. “I want Sis…”
His sister still left. She took a carriage and left Lotus Flower Village under the sound of gongs and drums.
The little munchkins cried for no reason. They were all in a daze. They widened their black eyes and looked at Yu Wan, who was covered by a veil, without blinking.
They roughly understood that the veil could not be removed, so they tilted their heads and glanced at Yu Wan from under the veil.
Yu Wan made a face.
Aiya! The three of them had goosebumps!
Yu Wan laughed out loud.
