After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guanfeng hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "Miss Fang, Lord Fang, I believe that the situation is unclear and it may not be safe outside. It would be safer for Master Chen Jiu and the others to stay in the Jingzhao Yin prison. At least no one would dare to attack openly here."

Fang Nanzhi looked at her father and knew that what Zhu Guanfeng said made sense.

Fang Tong took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Master Chen Jiu's hand without saying a word.

"It's a little gift from me. Keep it for your use. Don't refuse it. Don't make yourself too miserable in prison."

He turned to Zhu Guanfeng and said politely, "Master Zhu, I'll trouble you to take care of these people."

Zhu Guanfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Fang."

Master Chen Jiu held the bag of silver in his hand, looking at the father and daughter in front of him who were both very impressive. His voice was hoarse, and he tried hard to suppress his emotions: "Thank you very much. You guys can leave quickly, please leave quickly..."

Fang Nanzhi bowed to Master Chen Jiu again, then turned around and left the dark cell with his father.

When they returned to Fang Mansion, it was already late at night. Most of the servants in the mansion had gone to bed, and only a few courtyards were still lit with sporadic lights.

Fang Nanzhi and her father looked at each other tacitly, without saying much, and returned to their residences.

Both father and daughter need to digest what happened in prison tonight.

Fang Tong only went to the main house and whispered a few words to Qian Fengping, explaining the situation roughly. Qian Fengping frowned slightly when she heard it, but just sighed and told her daughter to go to bed early, without saying anything.

The other people in the mansion, including Fang Yin, who was going to be the groom tomorrow, knew nothing about this. There was no need to talk about this at this critical juncture, which made people worry for no reason.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the Fang Mansion became completely bustling.

The servants walked in a hurry, but with smiles on their faces, they hung red silk, posted wedding characters, and prepared tea, snacks and fruits to welcome the guests. There were lights and decorations everywhere, and people's voices mixed with laughter, filling the mansion that seemed a little empty in the past.

According to etiquette, the groom Fang Yin needs to offer sacrifices to his ancestors early in the morning and inform them of the good news of his marriage.

The Fang family's roots are not here. The ancestral hall in the capital was newly built after they settled down. It is not spacious, but it is also a solemn place.

Fang Yin changed into a brand new dark red dress. His skin was a little dark due to years of wind and sun, which made the red look even darker. However, he had an upright posture and was handsome, with a rare solemnity between his brows.

He entered the ancestral hall alone. There was a curl of incense in the hall. There were not many tablets. At the top were the spirit tablets of Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang, and below were two tablets placed side by side - one was for Fang Nanzhi's biological mother Chen Zixi, and the other was for Qin Yan's biological father.

Fang Yin bowed respectfully and reported in a low voice about today's wedding, asking the ancestors to bless the family with peace and the bride with harmony.

After the ancestor worship is completed, the next highlight is to prepare to pick up the bride.

Fang Yin was surrounded by the crowd and returned to the room, ready to change into the more formal and bright red wedding dress.

Fang Tong circled around him twice, stroking his chin, his brows knitted into knots. "Second brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your face... is too dark. Wearing this bright red, tsk tsk, it makes it look even darker. No, no, no, we have to think of a way."

As he spoke, he actually pulled out a box of fine powder from somewhere, eager to try it out: "Come, come, I'll tidy you up and make you whiter. The bride will be happy to see it!"

Fang Yin was already a little nervous, and after hearing what her brother said, she felt even more uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.

Fang Tong was not cut out for this. He worked in a panic, applying too much powder unevenly and turning Fang Yin's angular face into a white dough of flour. However, her neck and hands were still dark, which was a stark contrast and looked ridiculous.

"puff--"

"Hahahahaha!"

The servants who were watching and several military colleagues who had come early to help could no longer hold back and burst into thunderous laughter.

Even the usually calm Qin Yan, who was standing at the door, couldn't help laughing when he saw his second uncle's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Fang Nanzhi even turned around and looked at her second uncle and laughed non-stop.

Fang Yin was embarrassed by the laughter. He looked at the bronze mirror and glared at Fang Tong: "Third brother! You are just messing around!"

Just as the quarrel was getting out of hand, a large maidservant beside Qian Fengping came in with a smile on her face, holding a warm water towel and another more exquisite dressing box. "Second Master, Third Master, Madam has seen this. Please send this servant to help Second Master clean his face and put on makeup again. We can't let Third Master do whatever he wants anymore."

One had to obey the lady's orders, so Fang Tong raised his perfume and awkwardly made way for her.

The maid was very skillful. She first washed Fang Yin's face, then dipped her fingertips in a small amount of fine powder and pressed it lightly and evenly on his face, focusing on covering up some traces of weathering. However, it did not change the tone of his skin tone. Instead, he looked refreshed and in great condition.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner and nothing went wrong, but before leaving, Fang Yin was so nervous that his palms were sweating and he was spinning in circles on the spot, which made people dizzy.

He pulled Fang Nanzhi, who was standing nearby, over and asked in a low voice, "Zhizhi, come and take a look. Is Second Uncle as handsome as your father today?"

This question caused a few people around to laugh again.

Fang Tong married into Qian Fengping's family because of his handsome face, and he has a good life now. His handsomeness is recognized by the whole family. Fang Yin is now comparing himself with others and seems to be very nervous.

Fang Nanzhi looked at his uneasy eyes, suppressed a smile, and nodded firmly with certainty, her voice clear and loud: "Second uncle, you are definitely the most handsome groom in the world today, much more handsome than my father! Mighty and tall, with an imposing bearing. The bride will definitely love you when she sees you!"

She paused, looking at Fang Yin's slightly straightened back and the smile on his face due to her words, and then added with a smile: "I wish Second Uncle all the best, immediate success, and a son soon!"

"Hahahaha!" This time, not only the others, but even Fang Tong was clapping his thigh and laughing so hard that he fell over.

Fang Yin blushed at his niece's straightforward blessing, but his nervousness was largely dissipated by the joke.

The front yard was already crowded with people and very lively.

Many military generals who heard the news came, most of whom were comrades who were friends with Fang Yin. They all spoke in loud voices, greeted each other, and said auspicious words. The atmosphere was very warm.

General An was also among them. He had changed into a neat brocade robe today, which made him look more heroic. He was chatting and laughing with several young generals.

This group of young people had agreed in advance to go with Fang Yin to pick up the bride to show their support.

Fang Nanzhi and Qin Yan looked at each other and quickly joined the wedding procession. They both wanted to join in the fun.
