Chapter 355: Prime Minister's Wife 2
Cui Junyi's words stunned his mother Zhang and sister Cui Yue for a moment. They never expected that Cui Junyi, who was usually steady and elegant, would be so stubborn in this matter.
Zhang frowned and said earnestly, "Son, I understand your momentary feelings, but marriage is such a big deal that we shouldn't be so hasty. The Su family's sister-in-law has already promised her to someone else. If we interfere, we'll cause a lot of trouble. Besides, the Su family is really poor, and we're not a good match. In the future, there's no guarantee that there won't be some conflicts."
Cui Junyi held his mother's hand tightly, his eyes sincere as he said, "Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I just can't let go of Miss Su. I believe that as long as two people truly love each other, external things like family background won't matter. As for her sister-in-law, we can give her some extra money as compensation, and that will eventually work out."
Cui Yue curled her lips and muttered, "Brother, you've become stupid from studying. How can you eat love? If you're unhappy in the future, don't blame us for not trying to persuade you."
Cui Junyi just smiled and did not respond to his sister's words. He just continued to look at his mother with expectation in his eyes.
Seeing her son like this, Zhang finally softened her heart and sighed, saying, "Forget it, forget it. You've made up your mind, and I can't change it. But you have to do this carefully and avoid any gossip."
When Cui Junyi heard his mother's words, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, mother. I will go to the Su family to discuss this matter right away. I will definitely not let you down."
After saying that, he hurried to the Su family.
When they arrived at the Su family's house, Su Yun's sister-in-law, Wang, was sitting in the yard, eating melon seeds. Seeing Cui Junyi coming, she was stunned at first, but then her face was full of smiles: "Oh, isn't this the young master of the Cui family? How come you have time to come to our poor family today?"
Cui Junyi bowed slightly and said politely, "Sister-in-law, I came here today to discuss Miss Su Yun's marriage with you. I have admired Miss Su for a long time and want to marry her. I hope you will agree to this."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shi began to think to herself. She had long heard that Cui Junyi had passed the imperial examination and had a bright future ahead of him. If she could get more money from him, it would be much more profitable than marrying Su Yun to that butcher. So, she rolled her eyes and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Oh, Mr. Cui, you've really put me in a difficult position. I've already made an agreement with the butcher in town and accepted his betrothal gift. How can I explain myself if I change my mind at this moment?"
Cui Junyi hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I understand your difficulties. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cancel the marriage, I am willing to pay you double the money as compensation and also apologize to the butcher. What do you think?"
Wang was delighted, but she still spoke in a controlled tone, "Oh, this isn't about money. I'm doing this for Su Yun's own good. I'm worried she'll suffer if she follows you. But since Master Cui is so sincere, I can't stop him. But the betrothal gift has to be generous, otherwise I won't be able to hold my head up high in the village."
Cui Junyi quickly nodded and agreed, "Of course, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will prepare generous gifts and marry Miss Su in a grand ceremony."
In this way, after some bargaining, Cui Junyi's family paid a lot of money and finally settled the marriage.
After returning from the Su family, Cui Junyi, his mother Zhang, and his sisters began planning their wedding. He was still a little worried, fearing any further complications. After all, his sister-in-law, Su Yun, seemed quite scheming. So he discussed with his mother about moving the wedding date forward.
Cui Junyi said to his mother, "Mom, I think it's better to get married sooner rather than later, so as to avoid any more trouble. I want to set the wedding date for the fifth day of next month, in our village. What do you think?"
Zhang thought about it and felt it made sense, so she nodded in agreement: "Alright, the sooner we get things done, the more at ease we'll feel. But time is running out, so we have to get ready quickly."
Cui Yue was still somewhat reluctant, but she also knew that it was too late to say anything more. She just muttered quietly, "Hmph, I just hope my brother doesn't regret it."
In the days that followed, the Cui family was incredibly busy. Cui Junyi, while busy with the academy, also had to find time to come back and check on the wedding preparations. Zhang took her two daughters on a shopping spree, carefully selecting everything from wedding dresses and fabrics to various ornaments.
On the Su family side, Su Yun knew her marriage was finalized, and she was somewhat curious about and fond of Cui Junyi. After all, from other people's descriptions, she could sense that he was a man of loyalty and knowledge. However, her sister-in-law, Wang, still kept whispering in her ear from time to time: "Huh, you are so lucky, girl, to have climbed up the Cui family's high branch. But don't forget, if it weren't for my approval, you wouldn't have such a good thing. If you become rich in the future, don't forget the kindness of me, your sister-in-law."
Su Yun just smiled faintly and replied, "Sister-in-law, you're joking. I will of course remember your kindness." But in his heart, he felt more and more helpless about his sister-in-law's materialism.
The days passed quickly in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before the wedding.
On this day, the Cui family's home was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere. Cui Junyi looked at the courtyard filled with wedding supplies, his heart filled with anticipation for the next day, yet also with a hint of nervousness.
Cui Yue came over and looked at her brother's expression. She couldn't help but jokingly said, "Brother, you're so nervous. Don't make a fool of yourself tomorrow."
Cui Junyi smiled and tapped his sister's head: "You are the only one who teases me. I am so happy that I can finally marry Miss Su home."
At the Su family's house, Su Yun was surrounded by several village ladies, helping her with her makeup and dressing. Wang Shi watched from the side and said sourly, "Wow, she hasn't even gotten married yet, and she's already dressed up so beautifully. You must serve your parents-in-law well in the future and don't bring shame to our Su family."
Su Yun lowered his head slightly and did not respond to his sister-in-law's words.
At this time, an old lady said with a smile: "Su Yun is already pretty, and after dressing up like this, she looks like a fairy. Master Cui is really lucky."
Everyone laughed and agreed. Although Wang was jealous, she didn't say anything more.
As night fell, Su Yun lay in bed, unable to sleep. She thought about the new life that was about to begin, feeling both anxious and hopeful. Cui Junyi, on the other hand, tossed and turned, his mind constantly picturing Su Yun, longing for tomorrow to arrive sooner.
Before dawn, the Cui family was already bustling with activity. The wedding procession was ready early. Cui Junyi was wearing a bright red wedding dress, riding on a tall horse, with a happy smile on his face.
As the firecrackers rang out, the wedding procession slowly headed towards the Su family's home. Once there, Wang Shi deliberately made things difficult for them, blocking the doorway and saying, "Mr. Cui, if you want to marry my Su Yun, you have to pass these hurdles first. This is the custom in our village."
Cui Junyi quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best."
So Wang asked Cui Junyi a few difficult questions, sometimes asking him to write a poem, and sometimes asking him to identify various grains. Fortunately, Cui Junyi was knowledgeable and answered them one by one.
Finally, Su Yun was helped out, wearing a red veil. Cui Junyi looked at her with joy in his heart. He stepped forward, took her hand, and carefully helped her into the bridal sedan.
The wedding procession returned to the Cui family in a lively atmosphere. Men, women, young and old in the village gathered around to watch the newlyweds get married.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
With the master of ceremonies' loud shouts, Cui Junyi and Su Yun completed the wedding ceremony and were sent to the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, red candles flickered, illuminating the room with joy. Su Yun sat quietly by the bed, her heart as nervous as if she had a rabbit in her arms.
Cui Junyi saw off the last group of guests, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the bridal chamber. He looked at Su Yun, who was sitting beside the bed, with a heart full of pity, and said softly, "My wife, thank you for your hard work today."
Su Yun trembled slightly when she heard his voice, and responded in a low voice: "You are too polite, sir."
Cui Junyi walked over to Su Yun and gently lifted her red veil. He saw Su Yun's blushing face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she looked even more beautiful in the candlelight. He couldn't help but stare at her in a daze, muttering, "My lady, you are so beautiful."
Su Yun lowered her head shyly, not daring to look him in the eye.
Cui Junyi sat down, held Su Yun's hand, and said, "My dear, marrying you today is the luckiest thing in my life. I know we have only known each other for a short time, but I will treat you with all my heart and walk through this life with you hand in hand."
Su Yun raised her head and looked into Cui Junyi's sincere eyes. She was deeply moved and said softly, "My husband, I will live a good life with you."
The two were talking when suddenly the door was flung open. Cui Yue ran in with a panicked look on her face, shouting, "Brother, this is bad! There's a group of people outside. They say that the butcher in town is not satisfied and has brought people here to cause trouble. They want to take my sister-in-law back!"
When Cui Junyi and Su Yun heard this, their faces suddenly changed. Cui Junyi quickly stood up and comforted Su Yun, saying, "Don't be afraid, my lady. I'll go and take a look. I will definitely not let them do anything wrong."
After saying that, he walked out of the bridal chamber quickly. Su Yun also stood up and followed behind him, feeling very worried.
When I arrived at the yard, I saw a group of burly men standing there. Leading them was the butcher from the town. He had a face full of flesh and looked ferocious.
The butcher saw Cui Junyi coming out and yelled, "Cui Junyi, you are so shameless! You stole my fiancée! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"
Cui Jun also frowned, took a step forward, and said calmly, "My dear brother, Miss Su Yun and I are in love with each other, and her sister-in-law has already agreed to the marriage and accepted my betrothal gift. This is a legitimate matter, so how can you say she's snatching it away?"
The butcher didn't listen to his explanation. He waved the butcher knife in his hand and said viciously: "I don't care about that. I just can't swallow this breath. Today, either you hand over Su Yun, or we will fight to the death!"
At this time, some elders in the village also gathered around and tried to persuade the butcher: "Young man, you must be reasonable. The marriage is already finalized. Don't make trouble here. It won't look good if the news gets out."
But the butcher was furious and refused to listen, and was about to attack. Cui Junyi knew that this matter could not be dealt with forcefully, and he had to find a way to resolve it.
An idea struck him, and he said to the butcher, "Brother, I know you're upset. How about this? I'll give you some extra money as an apology. You can calm down and we can keep our distance from each other from now on. How about that?"
When the butcher heard that there was money to be made, he hesitated for a moment, but still said stubbornly: "Huh, you can get rid of me with just this little money?"
Cui Junyi gritted his teeth and added some more money. The butcher nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, for the sake of money, I will let you go today. But you have to treat Su Yun well. If I find out that you bully her, I will come to settle the score with you!"
After saying that, he took the people and left.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Junyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Su Yun, his eyes full of guilt: "Madam, I'm sorry to have frightened you. It's all my fault for not thinking it through."
Su Yun shook his head and said softly, "Husband, this is not your fault. It was thanks to you that we resolved this crisis today."
After such a storm, Cui Junyi and Su Yun both felt that their wedding night was full of ups and downs.
The two returned to the bridal chamber. Cui Junyi looked at Su Yun and said with a smile, "My dear, I hope that you will live peacefully in the future and that there will be no more troubles."
Su Yun nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on his face: "Well, my husband, as long as we are united as a couple, we can overcome any difficulties."
As he spoke, Cui Junyi picked up the wedding wine on the table and handed a glass to Su Yun. The two smiled at each other and drank the wine together, which symbolized the harmony between husband and wife.
At this moment, the red candles burned even brighter, as if blessing the newlyweds who had gone through so many ups and downs. Cui Junyi gently embraced Su Yun in his arms and whispered in her ear, "My dear, please give me your guidance for the rest of my life."
Su Yun leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness, and responded: "Husband, let's live a good life together."
As the night deepened, the candlelight in the bridal chamber was still flickering, and Cui Junyi and Su Yun began their common life journey in this warm and unforgettable atmosphere, hoping that in the days to come, they could live in harmony and happiness as they wished, without any more troubles.
