My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 166 The Big Wedding

The ninth day of the ninth month is a good day for marriage. After many days of preparation, the Shen and Fu families finally welcomed the happy event.

The majestic stone lions sitting on both sides of the Shen Mansion have huge red flowers tied to them. The red flowers sway back and forth in the autumn breeze, making the place look festive.

The butler at the gate held the wooden ladder, looked up at Yuexing who was standing on the ladder, and when he saw that the time had come, he handed the red cloth in his hand to him.

The old man laughed and shouted loudly, "The hour of Chen is an auspicious time. I am here to hang red for the Lord." Then he shouted, "Hold the red cloth long and long, and hang it from the left to the right. Today is the first wedding of the Shen family. May the prosperity and wealth last forever."

Following her father's instructions, Yuexing hung the red cloth firmly on the door beam, and the red cloth began to flutter slowly in the wind.

Housekeeper Yue came to the courtyard and looked at the servants waiting to hang the red ribbons and shouted, "The Shen family is marrying off their daughter. Let's start hanging the red ribbons."

When the servants heard this, they hung the red silk that they had prepared on the trees, and even covered the flowers and plants with rouge-red gauze.

At 3:30 pm, the relatives, friends and colleagues of the Shen residence came with their families and gifts to congratulate. For a while, the courtyard was bustling with people and lively...

The long red brocade carpet in the courtyard stretched as far as the eye could see. Maids carrying flower baskets stood on both sides of the red carpet. At the end of the red carpet was the Mo Lan Pavilion, which had been decorated with red silk and brocade. Red lanterns were hung on the corridor of the embroidery building, and a big "囍" character was pasted on the door, creating a gorgeous scene of bright red.

In the boudoir, Huaying, wearing a phoenix coronet and a red cape, was sitting beside the bed, holding a pearl face fan in her hand. Behind the fan was a small face with powdered makeup. Her starry eyes were full of clear and flowing thoughts, her red lips were slightly dotted, and her fair cheeks were given a charming touch of rouge. There was a red flower ornament between her eyebrows, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Miss, you are so beautiful." Qinghe adjusted the young lady's skirt and was stunned for a moment.

Huaying raised the corner of her mouth slightly with a smile. She...is getting married today.

At this moment, Yue Niang, who had been walking along, pulled Dong Xue and Qing Zhu to the door of the boudoir on the second floor. Qing Zhu knocked on the door respectfully, "Miss, Yue Niang is here."

"Please come in." The smile on Huaying's face became more obvious.

Dongxue, who was already excited when she set out from Taohua Town, heard the long-lost voice of Sister Huaying coming from inside the house, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The door was gently pushed open, and Yue Niang was stunned when she saw Hua Ying sitting upright on the bed. She walked to her side, slowly squatted down, and held up the wedding dress on her body and spoke softly.

"I'm used to seeing you without makeup on weekdays, but you're even more beautiful now. You said that on this happy day, I should be happy for you, but why do I feel reluctant to let you go?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She quickly hid her tears when she realized something and looked at Huaying with curved eyebrows. "Guess who I brought here."

Huaying was startled after hearing what she said. There was a glimmer of surprise in Yue Niang's eyes. Yue Niang nodded at her and pointed outside the living room.

At this time, a young girl in a light blue dress walked out from behind the veil. She had tears in her watery eyes but a bright smile on her lips.

"Sister Huaying." She called softly to Huaying.

When Huaying saw the person coming, she slowly stood up, a hint of shock and surprise flashed in her eyes. She originally wanted to pick up Dongxue to watch the ceremony, but was afraid that she was too young to ride the bumpy road. She also thought about going to Taohua Town after the wedding, so she kept the idea to herself.

Now, looking at the person in front of her, her eyes turned red, "Dongxue."

"Sister Huaying, wuwuwu." Dongxue wanted to hug her, but seeing that Sister Huaying was wearing gorgeous clothes, she was afraid that she would ruin them, so she pulled her hand and said.

"Sister Huaying, you can't cry on your big day today. I can cry, but I miss you so much." Woo woo woo

Huaying was amused by her words. Her Dongxue was still the Dongxue who cared about her.

"How is your family? How are Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang?"

Huaying looked at Dongxue. After not seeing her for a year, she had grown taller, her skin had become whiter, and she had become more beautiful.

Dongxue wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm fine. I just often think of you and Brother Shi Yan when I go to your small flower garden to clean it."

It was only after Sister Huaying left Taohua Town that she realized that she and Fu Shiyan were not siblings.

Now that Sister Huaying can marry Brother Fu, I am really happy for them.

Huaying thought of the small courtyard in Taohua Village with a trace of longing in her heart. That was the first home that took her in after she traveled through time. She met the warm-hearted Aunt Zhang and her family, and raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears in Dongxue's eyes.

Hiding the tears in her eyes, she slowly said, "That's fine. I miss the home-cooked meals Aunt Zhang makes every day."

Yue Niang, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Today you are the bride. If you go hungry for a day, wouldn't you want it more?" After saying that, the three of them looked at the heavy and gorgeous Xifu and smiled at each other.

At this time, Qingzhu came in, bowed and said, "Miss, Madam, Young Madam, the young master is here."

Then, Shen's mother and Bai Wei, dressed in new clothes, walked slowly over holding little Yu'an, followed by several maids carrying trays.

Upon seeing this, Yue Niang and Dong Xue hurriedly bowed to the old lady and the young lady.

Mother Shen had a kind smile on her face. She looked at the two and said, "We are all family. There is no need to be so polite. You should also be more relaxed and just be more casual."

Yue Niang nodded slightly, then said softly: "We have already met the young lady, and are now preparing to go back outside to wait. Madam, young madam, you talk to the young lady. Dongxue and I will go downstairs first." After that, she and Dongxue bowed to the old lady before taking their leave. Mother Shen nodded to them kindly.

Bai Wei knew that her mother-in-law had something to tell her younger sister, so she carried Xiao Yu'an out of the room and looked at the lanterns in the corridor.

In the room, Shen's mother sat beside the flower and gently took her hand, with reluctance in her eyes, "Our Ying'er is getting married today. As a mother, I am both reluctant and relieved. I believe that you will be able to manage the rear house well when you go to the Fu Mansion. Although the Fu family promised not to marry other wives, as a mother, I also feel sorry for our Ying'er to live a life of firewood, rice, oil and salt."

Mother Shen looked at Huaying with tears in her eyes, "Mother knows that your temper has changed a lot since you came back. Mother knows that my daughter Ying'er must have been wronged and her temper has changed. No matter how you live in the Fu Mansion in the future, the Shen Mansion is your home, and we are all your backers."

Huaying's eyes were already filled with tears. From being cautious when she first came to the mansion to slowly accepting it and to being reluctant to leave now, these were all earned by the Shen family's sincerity.

She was sent to an orphanage by her family when she was born and had never experienced family love. It was not until she returned to the Shen residence that she knew what the deep love between mother and daughter was, what love, pampering, and support meant.

Huaying reached out and hugged Shen's mother, and slowly said, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you. Thank you for being so kind to me."

Mother Shen carefully wiped away her tears and said in a gentle tone, "Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? We are all family. You dare not shed tears on your big day today."

Then he said, "Your sister-in-law has something to say to you. I'll go call her." After that, he walked out of the room and called Bai Wei.

Bai Wei came over smilingly, holding Xiao Yu'an in her arms. Xiao Yu'an reached out and grasped the handle of the round fan in Huaying's hand, and looked at Huaying.

Huaying looked at her little nephew tenderly, her eyes full of doting.

"You have to not eat anything today. Grab some of the food on the tray and put it in your sleeve. Eat it after you enter the bridal chamber, otherwise you won't make it to the evening."

Bai Wei whispered to Hua Ying, then leaned close to her ear, "Remember to step on your husband's shoes twice when you get up on the first day. Don't ask why, just do it."

Huaying saw a blushing smile flash across Bai Wei's face, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded.

At this moment, a burst of firecrackers was heard outside the mansion gate not far away.
