Chapter 655 A Joyous Event in Hu Family Village

Zhang Zhan's welcoming party started from the Yongding County Government Office and was originally planned to consist of more than 30 people, including 20 yamen runners and 10 matchmakers, attendants, maids, and others.

Unexpectedly, Hujia Village was so famous that when people along the way heard that they were going to Hujia Village to fetch a bride, and that it was the dignified county magistrate taking a wife, everyone wanted to join in the fun and see what the renowned Hujia Village was like.

As they walked, the group grew to about 200 people, and some enthusiastic and talented villagers brought out their gongs and drums and played them all the way to Hujia Village.

There are two roads leading to Hujia Village from various places: one is the official road, and the other is the village road. The village road, which was built by the villagers of Hujia Village with their own money, looks even smoother than the official road.

Although it wasn't as wide as the official road, it was still pleasing to the eye.

The colorful flowers blooming along the way were particularly amazing.

"This Hu Family Village must be a rather elegant village. The wildflowers that are usually everywhere look quite nice after being tidied up like this."

"Now, the young men and women in Hujia Village have no trouble finding husbands. Not to mention the young men, all the eligible girls are vying to marry into the village. There's a real shortage of women to marry into."

"That's true. The girl's requirements are very low. She doesn't want any dowry or for you to marry into her family. She only wants to marry someone from within ten miles of Hujia Village, and their family background has to be similar. Doesn't that make things difficult for a lot of people?"

"I heard that their village not only has a General Temple, but also a Jade Fairy Temple. I heard from people who have been there that the fairy was sculpted in the likeness of the Jade Fairy!"

"I might never have heard of any other important person, but this Lord Yuxiang is a household name. He's a golden phoenix that flew out of our humble background!"

"Enough said, we've arrived at Hu Family Village. We must go and wish them good fortune."

"Hehe, I've already prepared the red envelope. If I see the bride, I'll give her a gift and ask for a drink."

These people, playing music and chatting, arrived at Hujia Village. The lively wedding procession stunned the villagers.

Why are there so many people? On the contrary, Old Master Hu and several other clan elders were all smiles, their eyes crinkling with wrinkles: "This is because the adults value our village and Zhou Niang this year."

"Zhou Niang" is the formal title given to Widow Zhou by her elders. Her original family was not well-off, and they didn't give her a name until she got married.

Zhang Zhan was nervous the whole way, but he wasn't nervous anymore when he got to the village entrance.

This marriage was something he had sacrificed a great deal to achieve. Originally, there was a bit of resentment involved, but the more he got involved with Zhou Niang, the more he felt sorry for her.

I initially thought she was a woman with a tragic fate, but I never expected her to be such a capable and straightforward iron lady. The longer I spent time with her, the more I realized how considerate and thoughtful she was, and how impeccable she was in everything she did.

Even if this means he may never be able to return to Wanning City in his lifetime, and those titles and family backgrounds will be out of his reach, and he may be stuck in the position of county magistrate for the rest of his life, he would still be content with it.

"Groom, please dismount."

At the wedding attendant's shout, Zhang Zhan snapped out of his daze and was about to dismount when he paused.

He saw a dozen or so strong, burly men, shirtless, holding thick wooden sticks in their hands, all staring at him menacingly.

Ayu, standing to the side, called out with a grin, "Your Excellency, if you wish to dismount, you'll have to get through this ordeal first."

Seeing that he didn't move, Ayu pointed to a large vat of water next to her: "Or you can drink this bowl of water."

Zhang Zhan stared at the "bowl" in silence: "..."
