Chapter 347 Guangzong Marries a Wife
"The current emperor is the dragon in the sky, and my eldest brother is the dragon on earth!" Second Master Long held his head high, his face filled with pride and arrogance. "In this Nanyang City, with my eldest brother here, no one can make any waves! Go back to what you have to do, and wait for that ignorant country bumpkin to come and beg for mercy!"
As Mr. Long Erye spoke, he strode towards the door. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
After everyone left, the butler hesitated for a moment, walked forward, and said cautiously: "Master, are we really not..." The butler hesitated to speak, with a look of worry and confusion on his face.
Long Ye looked into the distance, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate layers of fog, and he said lightly: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
"We should always give people a chance to admit their mistakes." Long Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, "If they know what's good for them, then this matter will be over. If not, it's not too late to make other plans."
There was no excessive expression on Long Ye's face, but his slightly furrowed brows showed that he was not without emotion.
……
Futian Village
A brand new, bright red wedding character was pasted on the gate of Zhao Cunliang's yard. The bright color was particularly eye-catching under the sunlight, adding a festive atmosphere to this slightly shabby yard.
Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan, wearing their best clothes, sat upright on two worn chairs in the main hall. Zhao Cunliang had an unconcealable smile on his face, while Tian Guilan kept adjusting the corners of her clothes, looking a little nervous.
Guangzong and Yaozu had previously lived in the same room, which had now been meticulously cleaned out and given to Guangzong for his wedding. The room was simply furnished yet warm, with freshly changed bedsheets and red cloth on the windows, exuding a festive atmosphere.
Yaozu, with a look of reluctance, squeezed in with Dafu and Dagui into the room that Xiuying and the seven girls had previously lived in. That room never received sunlight year-round, and was dark, damp, and small.
Yaozu stood at one side of the main hall, pouting and angrily saying, "Why are you kicking me out? This is so unfair!"
Zhao Cunliang glanced at Yaozu with dissatisfaction, his eyes stern as he said, "Because he's your eldest brother! The eldest son is respected, understand?"
Tian Guilan hurried forward, took Yaozu's hand, and comforted him, "Son, don't be angry. Don't worry, when you get married, I will build you a house even if I have to sell everything I have."
"Really? Mom, you can't lie to me!" Yaozu raised his head, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and his pouting lips relaxed a little.
"When has mother ever lied to you?" Tian Guilan patted Yaozu's shoulder gently. "Don't be upset on such a happy day, okay." Tian Guilan winked at Yaozu while speaking, signaling him to stop saying anything.
"Okay, Mom. I will listen to you," Yaozu looked at Zhao Cunliang proudly. His mother loved him the most. His father and grandma both favored his eldest brother.
He Sange's home in the neighboring village
"My dear daughter, you look so beautiful in this dress, just like your mother." Brother He San looked at Cuihua tenderly, his voice trembling slightly.
He stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to touch his daughter's clothes, but stopped at the moment he was about to touch them, as if he was afraid of ruining this beautiful picture.
"Your mother was also so beautiful back then." He Sange's lips trembled and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
"Dad..." Cuihua called softly, her eyes full of heartache and helplessness.
The matchmaker glanced at Cuihua, who was short, dark and thin, and muttered to herself: She looks like a stunted monkey. What's so pretty about this girl?
The matchmaker's face was full of disgust, her lips were curled and her brows were tightly furrowed.
As she looked Cuihua up and down, she thought to herself, "I don't know why the people in Futian Village are so attracted to this girl. You know, Futian Village doesn't have to worry about food these days, and every household is living a prosperous life. They can marry any girl they want."
The matchmaker shook her head, her face full of disbelief, and a hint of jealousy in her eyes. If she were thirty years younger, she would definitely marry into Futian Village.
He Sange gently covered Cuihua with a red veil with reluctance, his hands trembling slightly and tears flashing in his eyes.
The matchmaker, beaming, held out her hand, took Cuihua's hand, and slowly walked out of the yard, muttering auspicious words in a shrill, thin voice.
Outside the courtyard, Guangzong, wearing a brand new red groom's suit, rode a shiny donkey with a dashing demeanor. His face was filled with joy and anticipation, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the courtyard gate.
A'niang told herself that Cuihua was the most beautiful girl in the area. Although she was not a city girl, she was prettier than the city girls, so she was a good match for her.
Following behind Guangzong was the sedan chair that Tian Guilan rented for twenty cents. Although the sedan chair was not very gorgeous, it was decorated in a festive manner.
The matchmaker, beaming with joy, carefully led Cuihua into the small sedan chair. Then, turning around, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Lift up the sedan chair!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wedding procession immediately started playing music, instantly breaking the tranquility of the village.
The wedding procession moved slowly along the narrow country road, attracting many onlookers to stop and watch. Their eyes were filled with envy and they could not stop praising them.
"Cuihua is so lucky to be able to marry into Futian Village. She will never have to worry about food in her life."
"This girl has had a hard life since she was young, so this can be considered a happy ending after all the hardship."
"I heard that this girl has a mental illness. Do people in the next village know about it?"
"Why do you care so much? It's not you who's getting married."
In this lively and envious atmosphere, the wedding procession gradually moved away.
The villagers of Futian Village, standing on the high observation tower with their hands on their backs, saw the approaching wedding procession and excitedly shouted to those guarding the village entrance, "Open the door quickly! The wedding procession is back!"
When the people guarding the village entrance heard the shouting, they immediately took action and slowly pushed open the heavy gate at the entrance with nimble hands and feet.
Zhao Cunliang, who was sitting in the main hall, also heard the distant sound. He stood up and said anxiously to Tian Guilan, "Why are you still sitting here? Go and prepare the wedding banquet!"
Tian Guilan responded calmly, "Don't worry, I've prepared everything. Don't you think that the villagers are busy harvesting sweet potatoes and won't come so early?"
She finally became a mother-in-law from a daughter-in-law. Today is the day the new bride comes into the house, and she has to set rules for her.
Zhao Cunliang's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "We can't be careless. This is our son's wedding day. If there is any mistake, what will happen?"
Tian Guilan sighed softly and said, "I know, I know. I'll go check it again." Tian Guilan stood up helplessly and walked towards the kitchen.
