Yu Xiao spit out two words very neatly, "It's called Yongning Town."

She was stunned on the spot, but Yu Xiao didn't notice, pointing in another direction and calling her to see the newly erected lantern statue.A burst of red light enveloped the entire town, as if there were gods patronizing and casting protection.Yong Ning turned his head stiffly to look, the lamp was dressed in red, with purple and gold trim, gorgeous but not vulgar.Yu Xiao beside him let out a slight exclamation, "The clothes of Immortal Yongning are similar to the one you are wearing."

picture?Yong Ning smiled wryly—naturally, this was the wedding dress when they agreed to get married.It's just that apart from personal relationships, everyone has something more they are willing to pursue - she can't live without this soft and red world in this life, and Tingfeng has already got what he wants most.

4. Where the heart belongs

The author has something to say:

For unfinished business, please move to the next chapter.

A happy event happened in Wangchuan Town.

It's nothing to talk about, but Shen Yuan, a time-honored snack shop in the town, has changed its manager.Shen Yuan started in Wangchuan Town, and its branches spread all over Bashu.Now the original shopkeeper, Mr. Shen Da, has retired behind the scenes, and his only son, Shen Dai, has taken over the family business.

This Shen Dai learned how to make dim sum from his father since he was a child, and his cold cakes are the best in Sichuan, and his temperament is gentle and peaceful, which is very attractive to girls.Before reaching the crown, many envoys brought Gengtie to test the tone of the Shen family, and even the Xing Clan in Danping Village, who never intermarried with foreigners, sent people here, and they were all entrusted by Mr. Shen Da in the name of being young.

Now that she has been crowned and took over her family's shop, the matchmakers from various families have also heard about it-they don't know what the girl is like, but they know that once the Shen family accepts, their own matchmaker's sign and status will be unyielding few.What's more, Shen Yuan said it was a dim sum shop, its business scope and location were beyond what a mere dim sum shop could afford. Who wouldn't love to be a profitable matchmaker?

He also said that the Shen family has indeed put Shen Dai's marriage on the agenda.Mrs. Shen only said that her son likes it, and family background is not a problem, while Mr. Shen Da insisted on finding a girl from the right family. Officials and eunuchs with a scholarly family background cannot be compared, and it is best to be a merchant's daughter. Definitely can go to the next level.The background of the girl's family can't be too good or too bad, and the subtleties need to be pondered carefully.

Because of this, even though the Shen family had collected a stack of portraits, they still couldn't choose why.Shen Dai, the center of the matchmaker, is completely out of shape. He spends all day in the small kitchen at home researching and improving dim sum recipes, unaware that his parents are in the hands of his lifelong events—what he is thinking about is how to make cold cakes with better flavors. After all, some people like to eat.

Five days later, another matchmaker came to the door, and his speech and demeanor were all good.I handed over the Geng Tie without being humble or overbearing, and I didn't see too many words, I just told Mr. Shen Da that I knew it after reading it.Mr. Shen Da's heart skipped a beat when he saw Geng's post, and he handed it to his wife for further reading.The two exchanged a look - Mrs. Shen worked hard together with Mr. Shen Da - the so-called son likes it all at once.Mr. Shen Da put down the Geng Tie, with a hint of admiration in his words, "Is this what Master Jiang meant?"

The matchmaker in the hall responded, "Exactly."

"In this case, you can save asking for your name," Mr. Shen Da nodded, "Please tell Mr. Jiang, the matter is settled like this, and Gouzi himself will come to the door to collect the levy in another day. It's hard work to beat Ke people, so you might as well rest at home In a few days, there will be another gift."

The matchmaker thanked him and followed the servant to the wing where the visitors rested.Mrs. Shen suddenly became worried, "Although the Yanquanjiang family is not to be picky in all aspects, but Dai'er has such a temper, if there is a trouble..."

Mr. Shen Da's expression was also very serious, "This time the Jiang family took the initiative to send someone to pass on Miss Geng's post, but they lost. It doesn't matter even if they know Dai'er's temperament, a grasshopper on a boat will have nothing to say at that time. .I'm worried that Dai'er won't be able to pass the test herself."

But to their surprise, Shen Dai didn't have much reaction to the family's engagement to him, and he agreed to such "excessive flattery" behaviors as "excessive flattery" in person.He seemed very relieved of his parents' respect for him, and immediately sent the boy out to buy gifts for requisition.

The servants of the Shen family ran around the town for three full days to complete the items on the gift list that their young master personally ordered. Some of them who had been working in the Shen family for a long time even underestimated in their hearts - their young master usually does not only make snacks, He has no other interests, other than being able to talk and laugh, he is like a lump of elm, how could he be so happy after talking about a marriage?But after inquiring again, it was said that the young lady of the Jiang family was a well-known beauty in Yanquan, and she immediately understood what Shen Dai had done—the day after the dowry was paid, he took people to Yanquan, I didn't even look through the almanac.

The Shen family had fulfilled the promise of respectability, and the Jiang family naturally had to show it.When Shen Dai came to the door, Mr. Jiang waved his hand and called out his daughter directly, saying that he didn't care about those vain etiquettes after getting married, and that young people should get along with each other first to cultivate some feelings.

The only daughter of Jiang's family is named "Lian".People are delicate and timid, really like ripples in the water.The two sat opposite each other without saying a word, but they looked at each other from time to time, as if eager to read sentences such as "can grow old with this person forever".Although Shen Dai has a gentle temperament, he is still a young man who loves to talk and laugh. Seeing Jiang Lian staring at him without saying a word, he couldn't help laughing, "Is there something on my face? You seem to like it very much. Seems like."

"Lang Jun was joking," Jiang Lian covered her lips with her sleeves, her eyes curved into beautiful arcs, "It's just that there are many rules since I was young, and I have never seen a foreigner. I forget myself for a while, and I hope you don't blame him."

"Of course I won't blame you," Shen Dai looked at Jiang Lian with great interest.He doesn't have any sisters, so naturally he can't meet other people's daughters, "By the way, I brought something. I'm afraid my father and your father will laugh at me, so I didn't write it on the gift list, but I want to show you. This is my I like it the most, and I hope you like it too.”

There was a hint of expectation in Jiang Lian's eyes, but Shen Dai didn't notice it at all. He happily opened the wooden box placed on the top of the gift of Nazheng, and brought out a white porcelain bowl with an even color, which he put lightly on On the table in front of Jiang Lian, "This is my new cold cake. It's different from the usual ones. I don't have any in my shop yet. You are the first to taste it."

With hope in his expression, Jiang Lian was attracted involuntarily.She withdrew her hand covering her lips, picked up a silver spoon and lightly scooped up a piece and put it into her mouth—it was indeed different from ordinary cold cakes, and it was a test of the maker's skill—Jiang Lian chewed slowly, trying to suppress the disgust And the nausea brought by it, smiled and said: "The flick slips back to sweetness, without any bitter taste, it really lives up to its reputation."

She tried her best to swallow the bitten piece of cold cake, her heart was so bitter that she almost shed tears: cold cake is indeed a famous food in Sichuan, but she hated it very much since she was a child.But yesterday's father's exhortations were still in my ears, no matter what, the marriage with the Shen family must not fail, and the priority is to do what he likes.Besides, she also fell in love with the young man in front of her at the first sight...

Once the levy is over, the marriage will be formally arranged.Shen Dai and Jiang Lian's satisfaction with each other made the Shen family couple overjoyed. They were terrified of complications, and finishing their only son's marriage as soon as possible and smoothly was almost their entire goal for the rest of their lives.As soon as Mr. Shen Da spoke, everyone in the Shen family got busy—not to mention asking for a bed, but also to make up for the appointment letter that Shen Dai left behind.There are also silks and satins for the wedding day, incense candles, wine and animals, and even banquet dishes and ingredients, all of which must be prepared as soon as possible.

Shen Dai himself was dragged out of the small kitchen by Mr. Shen Da.It means that those who want to get married can’t leave all these things to others to worry about, and the rest is fine. The decorations in the new house must be prepared by themselves, which can be regarded as sincerity to the bride.Originally, Shen Dai had nothing to do with things other than making dim sum, and Jiang Lian was gentle and graceful, which was quite to his liking, so he took a few servants who waited on him, and went out to buy things.

He led a few boys around the town—almost all the things he could buy were bought by his family, but returning empty-handed would inevitably be reprimanded—fortunately, there were not too many kinds of fabrics. The hairpins, rings, pearls and jade used in the new house should also be prepared, plus the calligraphy, painting, vase mirrors used in the decoration of the new house, and three boxes were barely collected and carried back to Shen's house.Mr. Shen Da glanced at it hastily and said nothing, Shen Dai secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

However, the next day the housekeeper led someone to count the items, only to find that the batch of things that Shen Dai bought back later was missing two bolts of red silk, one bolt of red gauze, and some small jewelry.

Mr. Shen Da was furious when he learned about it.The main family is the most taboo of the servants in the family taking the sheep by hand and thinking that they shouldn't have it.Although the Shen family is not considered an aristocratic family, they still treat their servants with kindness.But such an incident, of course, would not tolerate it, and immediately ordered the door to be closed for a thorough investigation, so as to avoid further troubles after marrying the Jiang family.For a while, everyone in the Shen family was in danger, and at any time, two or more people would go together.However, after several days of this, not only the culprit was not found, but a lot of things were lost one after another. More than half of the things that Shen Dai personally placed had disappeared out of thin air.

The family was in a hurry to get angry, but Shen Dai himself acted like nothing had happened—to be honest, he really didn't care about those things, he just bought them for business, whether they were used as tents or quilts, whether they were kept for use or rewarded to his servants. It's none of his business.Seeing that the family was in trouble because of something, he was not in the mood to cook.It was not easy to catch an opportunity, and when the guards were not paying attention, he ran out over the wall to relax.

Outside the town are mostly fields, and there are almost no roads except the official road built by the imperial court.He walked randomly on the ridge of the field, turning left and right now and then, leaving a series of crooked footprints of different shades.The sun gradually
