Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

A month passed very quickly, and soon it was time for the wedding banquet. Before that, Jiang Yu finally received a letter from Chen Xin.

Chen Xin's territory was in the Forest Empire, unlike Jiang Yu's, which was in the Ocean Empire. Her journey back and forth took a little longer, and it took almost half a month for her to settle down in her territory.

Chen Xin's family was only a mid-level noble family, not as powerful as Jiang Yu's family, and their territory was naturally much smaller and not a wealthy place. However, they still had many affairs to attend to, which is why it took so long to send a letter.

The letter revealed that she was in a good mood. Clearly, the world was exactly to her liking. Her handsome husbands were all like Doraemon, requiring no effort from her. Her straightforward words, such as "since I'm here, I'll make the best of it" and "enjoy life while I can," also showed that she and her husbands were getting along very well.

Hearing that her best friend was doing so well and living a blissful life, Jiang Yu finally felt at ease.

However, her own situation was still a bit of a mess. She was an indecisive person and couldn't easily sever ties with the past to embrace the present and the future. She always wondered what would happen if she accepted everything here so rashly and had the chance to go back there one day.

So she put the letter aside, planning to write a long letter to Chen Xin in detail after the wedding banquet.

On the day of the wedding banquet, everyone in the manor got up very early and went to their assigned work posts in an orderly manner to begin preparations.

The way these servants work demonstrates how well Lin Yi has arranged things, showcasing his exceptional ability to manage a household.

Jiang Yu also got up very early. Although she inherited the original owner's perfect etiquette and demeanor as a lady from a prominent family, there was still a trembling Jiang Yu inside who had never seen such a grand occasion before, so she inevitably felt nervous.

With Ado's help, she put on a welcoming dress and appropriate makeup. Presumably to highlight the lord's aura and give the guests a strong first impression, the welcoming dress was dark blue, which looked very solemn and noble. The makeup also looked a bit heavy, which made Jiang Yu's originally delicate and beautiful features look more majestic.

“My little Miss Yu has finally grown up. This feels like a scene from a dream.” Ado smiled as she adjusted the intricate and gorgeous puff sleeves of Jiang Yu’s dress, her fingers tracing the plump and lustrous pearls.

"Miss is more beautiful than I could ever imagine. You will have the best of everything in the world and become the happiest person."

Ado is a bit older than Jiang Yu. From the day she was brought to Jiang Yu, she became the person who accompanied Jiang Yu the most in this world. Seeing Jiang Yu return to normal before his coming-of-age ceremony and successfully find a partner, Ado was one of the happiest people.

Aduo carefully took out a small, multi-layered velvet flower made of blue velvet and gently put it on Jiang Yu's cuff.

"Miss, this is something I made myself to congratulate you on your successful marriage and becoming a lord. It's a small gift, but I hope it will help you have a smooth marriage banquet."

Jiang Yu looked closely and discovered that each petal of the blue velvet flower was covered with tiny, dazzling blue gemstones, meticulously sewn on stitch by stitch. As the light changed, each petal refracted a beautiful brilliance. It was clearly a work of art that had required immense effort to complete.

Jiang Yu took it off her sleeve and, facing A Duo's puzzled gaze, put it on her chest.

“Ado’s gift should be placed in the most prominent position.” Jiang Yu held Ado’s hands in both of hers and placed them on her heart.

"Aduo, I am so grateful for your companionship and care over the years. I love your gift very much, thank you."

Ado's eyes were warm and gentle as she gave a slight bow, silently declaring her loyalty.

"I will always be with you."

Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi's formal wear were also in the same dark blue color scheme, but Fan Qingyin wore an ethereal long robe, while Lin Yi's was more like a smart military uniform.

The guests invited to this event are mainly the family members and friends of the three newlyweds. Usually, the biological parents of the newlyweds are invited. However, when more than one member of a family holds a wedding banquet in the same year, it depends on who is more favored by the mother and whose partner's family is more powerful.

In principle, guests will arrive one after another before noon, have lunch together to get to know each other, and then return to their respective rooms to rest and prepare for the dinner.

Because Lin Yi and Fan Qingyin were the most valued members of their families, their parents came, along with many accomplished elders from the family. Fan Qingyin's family even sent three bishops.

When parents come, they will also bring formal wedding gifts. This is different from the wedding customs of the 21st century. Here, the woman's family applies for land and funds the construction of the manor, while the man's personal property is submitted by the family to the empire. After the empire approves it, it is distributed to the newlyweds and becomes the property under the woman's name. The man needs to prepare an additional wedding gift, which is brought by the family elders on the day of the wedding banquet.

The gift Lin Yi prepared was a set of seven boxes of various sizes, all made of gold and gemstones. The large ones could hold small furniture, while the small ones could hold jewelry. The style was extremely ostentatious and extravagant, and the countless jewels and jades inlaid on them could probably buy a sizable territory. Not to mention that the entire box was covered in gold.

The gift prepared by Fan Qingyin was a light carriage, the carriage made of silver metal, with intricate and beautiful patterns and inlaid with crystal-clear white crystals.

The chariot was not pulled by the common griffin, but by the Pegasus, a unique creature of the Aurora Empire. It was pure and immaculate. Like the legendary unicorn, the Pegasus had a horn on its forehead, but it also had three pairs of long, narrow wings covered with snow-white feathers.

Jiang Yu felt that she must visit the Aurora Empire if she had the chance, to see what kind of soil and water it had that nurtured everything so beautiful and ethereal.

Everything seemed to be going very smoothly. The Jiang family and the Lin family were old friends, and the elders of the two families naturally got along very well.

The Fan family from the Aurora Empire came from afar. Their noble and aloof family status was exactly what the Jiang and Lin families wanted to befriend, so naturally the guests were all happy and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

For Jiang Yu, the most difficult parts were welcoming the guests and preparing lunch. After all, it was her first time meeting her husbands' parents, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. In addition, she felt guilty because she had been unfair to Lin Yi and Fan Qingyin due to her own actions.

Fortunately, she performed relatively steadily. This world is generally more tolerant of women. The Lin family, aside from the Jiang family, only showed her immense affection out of respect for the Jiang family. The Fan family, like Fan Qingyin, gave Jiang Yu the impression of being almost ethereal, so naturally they didn't hold it against her. Furthermore, with Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi's thoughtful arrangements and care, everything went smoothly until the banquet.
