So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

These past few days, Xiao Yueshan has been immersed in his own sadness, and has not slept well every night. Zhou Yao has also been accompanying him on the recliner. Both of them look listless, with even black and blue marks under their eyes.

Xiao Zheng and Mrs. Yu had no idea about the dispute between their daughter and son-in-law. They thought that the Jiangzhou corruption case had been closed. The two finally felt relieved and felt like a new marriage after a short separation. The couple even exchanged satisfied glances.

There was a happy event at home, and Xiao Yueshan didn't want to tell anyone else about what happened between husband and wife, so she let Xiao Zheng and Madam Yu make wild guesses.

The two elder brothers of the Xiao family who were sent to serve as officials also returned home with their wives and children to congratulate. The eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Chaosong, was appointed as the governor of Chizhou under Gufan Prefecture, and the second son, Xiao Chaohuan, was appointed as the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, a seventh-rank official. With both sons and daughters home, the Xiao family was rarely so lively.

The two older brothers have already had children, and they were brought back this time to meet their grandparents and uncles and aunts.

The eldest brother has a son and a daughter, the son Xiao Xinhong is six years old, and the daughter Xiao Yilan is four years old; the second brother also has a daughter named Xiao Yicen, who is four years old like Yilan, and they are both lively and playful. Looking at these grandchildren, Madam Yu never relaxes her smile every day, and even the mature and steady Xiao Zheng has a few more smile lines.

The two sisters-in-law of the Xiao family also came from official families. The second sister-in-law mentioned earlier was Peng Wen, the younger sister of Peng Zhen, the censor of Huchu Road. The eldest sister-in-law's family was even more prominent. She was the daughter of Chai Ao, the left councilor of the Guchang Provincial Administration Commission, and her nickname was Qiongyin.

Xiao Chaosong and Xiao Chaohuan seldom returned to Beijing, so many old friends and classmates in Beijing invited them to banquets. Together with Zhou Yao, who was about to be promoted soon, they had constant social engagements.

Chai Qiongyin and Peng Wen both get along well, and Xiao Yueshan is also happy to have his sister-in-law as a companion.

Xiao Yueshan bought a lot of things for the children, and also went to Zhenbaozhai to make a longevity lock with gold thread for each of her nephews and nieces. Chai Qiongyin and Peng Wen also gave her a lot of good things in return, and they went shopping and eating every day.

Although Zhou Yao didn't like socializing, he was dragged out to dinner every day. Seeing his wife happy, he felt relieved.

Originally, he was penniless when he traveled across time. He had been hiding his identity and fleeing. Later, he had restored his identity and kept pretending to be dead. The Zhou family didn't give him much money. Fortunately, the Ministry of Personnel sent him a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, so he gave it all to his wife to happily go shopping.

Finally, the day of Xiao Yuerong's wedding arrived.

Early in the morning, the groom Chu Hao Ning, accompanied by a matchmaker, brought eight guests to the Xiao Mansion.

The sisters' table for the farewell banquet at the Xiao Mansion has been set up. The male guests have been invited to have sweet egg soup, and then the bride will come out to say goodbye.

Xiao Yuerong was wearing a crimson embroidered robe and jacket, which were embroidered with various jewels made of gold thread to form cloud patterns, longevity mountains and seas of happiness, flowers and other festive and auspicious designs. She wore a Tianguan lock around her neck and a shawl embroidered with colorful round flowers on her shoulders. She wore a red skirt embroidered with gold thread and a full set of red gold and ruby ​​hairpins on her head that Madam Yu had prepared long ago. She looked festive, elegant and gorgeous.

She covered her face with a paper fan in her hand and was helped out by maids and nannies to greet the guests.

The master of marriage announced to the ancestral hall: Xiao Zheng's second daughter will be married to the Chu family of the Pingchang Earl's Mansion today. I am deeply saddened!

When they arrived at the hall, Xiao Zheng and Mrs. Yu warned their daughter, "When you go home, don't forget to be respectful and respectful, be diligent and careful, and obey orders morning and night", "Be respectful and cautious, follow the three obediences and four virtues, think hard day and night, and don't disobey orders."

Xiao Yuerong was reluctant to leave. She kowtowed to her ancestors and parents, and was urged by the matchmaker to get into the sedan chair.

Chu Hao Ning was already waiting outside to greet him. He was wearing a red round-collared robe with a white pheasant patch embroidered on it, which was the pattern for a fifth-rank civil official. He was wearing a red brocade draped diagonally, a silver belt with inlaid patterns on his waist, and a jade pendant and a ribbon. He had a piece of red brocade draped diagonally over his shoulders, which was also known as "wearing red and hanging colorful ribbons", and he looked very ruddy.

This was a sturdy young man, taller and stronger than the Xiao brothers and Zhou Yao. He wore a black gauze hat with a golden flower on each side, and looked energetic.

Xiao Yueshan commented in her heart, "If this guy were in modern times, he should be a dark-skinned athlete or a wolf-dog brother. He is a good match for Xiao Yuerong." During her time at the Xiao family, she has treated them as a family and sincerely hopes that Xiao Yuerong can be happy.

The "lucky person" from the Chu family who came to welcome the bride was the wife of Deqing Earl Chu Yongzhong. Deqing Earl was actually the cousin of Chu Hao Ning's father, Pingchang Earl. The two families had a close relationship, and the presence of Deqing Earl's wife to welcome Chu Hao Ning also brought face to both the Chu and Xiao families.

After sending off Xiao Yuerong's bridal sedan, the Xiao family, as the bride's family, could not go to the Chu family to attend the subsequent wedding, and could only wait to return home to see their daughter and son-in-law.

Madam Yu tried hard to hold back her tears, and after calming herself down, she went out with Xiao Zheng to entertain guests.

Originally, Xiao Yueshan was quite curious to see Xiao Yuerong getting married and was very happy the whole time. Only when Xiao Yuerong got into the bridal sedan and her family couldn't go did she become sad.

What the hell! It's such a feudal dregs! Why can't the woman attend the wedding?

No wonder Madam Yu couldn’t stop crying, and her two sisters-in-law also shed tears with her, but she was the only one who laughed heartlessly... It turns out that the knife was here!

Although they were angry, the bride's guests had arrived. They had to go out to entertain the guests, so they calmed down and went to the outer room to meet the guests.

Xiao Zheng has been working in the Imperial College for a long time, and many students and old friends came today. To be honest, the Xiao family's banquet may be more lively than the Chu family's.

Ji Shu came to congratulate as a relative of the Xiao family, but unexpectedly, even Shou Junwu, the youngest son of Duke Dingguo, came with him.

This distinguished guest had no old acquaintance with their family, so they did not send an invitation to a banquet.

They have always been a clean stream of civil officials and have not had much contact with princes and nobles. Previously, the marriages of Xiao Zheng's two sons and one daughter were all children of familiar civil officials. Only Xiao Yuerong's marriage was arranged by Madam Yu, and although they were clan relatives, they had no title.

When they saw Prince Dingguo, everyone at the table stood up and saluted.

Shou Junwu returned the greeting casually, then found Zhou Yao, "Brother Yao, your family didn't invite me to the banquet today, so I had to be thick-skinned and follow the teacher to get in." Shou Junwu pulled him over, "Look, I brought you a gift."

Xiao Zheng hurried over to express his gratitude and asked the butler to accept the gift from the Shou Mansion. Zhou Yao accompanied Ji Shu and Shou Junwu to sit at the table.

Right Censor-in-Chief Zhao Congjian also came, as well as some of Zhou Yao's old friends from the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate, so they gathered around a table and had a feast.

With the protection of Ji Shu and Zhao Congjian, two acquaintances of the original owner, Zhou Yao was able to impersonate Zhou Yao with ease. In addition, everyone wanted to meet Shou Junwu, so he did not feel any social pressure.

Qiu Shunci's husband, Tang Shuyi, a doctor of the Five Classics in the Hanlin Academy, saw the intimacy between Shou Junwu and Zhou Yao, and finally believed what his wife said that day when she came back and had dinner with the son of Duke Dingguo.

It seemed that Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan had a very good relationship with Shou Junwu, so they raised their glasses and came over to introduce themselves in front of Shou Junwu, "I am Tang Shuyi, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy. I would like to meet you, sir. My wife is a close friend of Madam Zhou, and we had dinner together last time. I have always admired your demeanor, and today I finally get to meet you, so I must come and toast you a glass."

Shou Junwu must have seen too many people as flattering as him. And Tang Shuyi was really blind. Everyone at the banquet called him Lord Shou. He was also an official, but Tang Shuyi was the only one who kept calling him Young Master.

Although he relied on the Duke's Mansion, it was really embarrassing to point it out in public. "I don't care too much about my sister-in-law's friend. There are many guests at the table today. Lord Tang, please go." He took a sip casually, and did not ask Tang Shuyi to sit down, letting him leave awkwardly.
