Chapter 1466.
New Year’s Eve.
On New Year’s Eve, Wang Duan drove Chen Yijian, who wanted to stay and accompany his teacher, back home, and then he himself set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, arranging ingredients such as a copper stove fire pot and slices of beef and mutton.
With a pot of yellow wine warmed on a small red clay stove, it was a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
Drinking the hot yellow wine and shabu-shabuing the fresh beef, Wang Duan tilted his head and looked up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
It didn’t feel lonely.
Just before the pot of wine was finished, he suddenly had a movement in his heart.
The next moment, a figure swept noiselessly over the courtyard wall and landed steadily in the small courtyard.
This uninvited guest was dressed in a green robe, his aura was quite majestic, and his eyes looked at Wang Chen with an unspoken meaning.
Wang Chuan put down his wine cup and rose to salute, “Wang Chuan has met your lord.”
“My lord?”
The visitor’s eyes were a bit odd: “Shouldn’t you be addressed differently?”
Wang Dust was submissive, “My son-in-law pays his respects to his father-in-law!”
This green-robed middle-aged man was none other than Ye Dai’s real father, Qing’an County Minister Ye Xiangming.
Although Wang Chen had already set a good date with Ye Dai, it was still the first time he met this cheap old father-in-law.
“No need to be polite.”
Ye Xiangming waved his hand, “I just came to see my new son-in-law.”
Due to the obstruction of the eldest woman in the family, he couldn’t organize the marriage for Ye Dai openly and honestly, and his heart was more or less depressed at this time.
Wang Duan brought chairs and chopsticks and invited this cheap old husband to take a seat.
Ye Xiangming sat down, but pushed away the chopsticks presented by Wang Dust: “I’ve already eaten at home.”
Wang Duan did not force him and poured him a cup of warm yellow wine.
This time Ye Xiangming did not refuse again.
Facing this cheap son-in-law of Wang Duan, Ye Xiangming’s mood was actually quite complicated.
He was satisfied but not very satisfied, but when he thought about it, it was impossible to find a more suitable son-in-law for his daughter than Wang Chuan.
However, after some conversations, Ye Xiangming’s satisfaction with Wang Chen increased a few more points.
As for Wang Dust, it was undoubtedly a novel experience to talk to his old husband face to face.
Although he possessed several Dao Couples, the one who could truly be considered his old husband was the one in front of him.
The problem was that Wang Chen was much older and richer than Ye Xiangming, regardless of his real age or life experience.
So Wang dust will be their own real into the role of an ordinary reader, to the identity of the son-in-law to communicate with Ye Xiangming, not humble and not supercilious and calm.
It was precisely this attitude that made the county minister think highly of Wang Duan again.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Sage son-in-law, do you have any arrangements for the future?”
With Ye Xiangming’s status, saying such words was undoubtedly the meaning of wanting to promote Wang Duan.
Wang Dust smiled and said, “My father-in-law, I am teaching quite well now, and I have no intention of joining the government as an official for the time being.”
Wang Dust’s status is a Xiu Cai, and although this degree is bought, it is well documented that it is not a fake.
If he entered the government system, he would definitely have to start as a minor official.
Even if there is Ye Xiangming’s care and can be promoted up later, the temptation for Wang Chen is close to nothing.
Ye Xiangming sighed: “The government office has many rights and wrongs, it’s understandable that you want to be a petty official.”
After a pause, this county minister said in a deep voice: “But you must take good care of Dai’er, do not let her down for you.”
Wang Chen nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t fail her.”
“That’s good.”
Ye Xiangming finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.
He got up and gave Wang Dust a deep look, his figure swept out of the courtyard wall in a flash, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the vastness of the night.
Such lightness was enough to step into the second-rate level in the Jianghu!
Wang Chen smiled and leaned back in his chair.
This cheap old man is still quite interesting.
……
The twenty-eighth day of the first month is an auspicious day for marriage, sacrifices, praying for blessings, traveling, moving earth, entering a house, migrating, setting up a bed, going up a beam…
Wang Duan waited until the day he became a groom.
With the help of a group of neighbors, he changed into a big red suit, mounted a tall white horse, and went to Ye’s house to pick up his bride with a flower bridge and a welcoming procession, amidst the sound of congratulations.
Although Wang Dust hadn’t been in Qing’an County for a very long time, over the past two years, he had earned a high reputation for enlightening the commoners’ sons and daughters of Causeway Lane and its neighboring areas in a nearly free form.
When the surrounding neighbors saw him, a young scholar, they all respectfully revered him as sir, and sometimes even invited Wang Chuan to mediate disputes and conflicts between neighbors.
This time, when Wang Duan got married, he had no relatives, so these neighbors were very enthusiastic to act as friends and relatives to organize for him.
It saved Wang Duan a lot of trouble.
The wedding procession blew and blew all the way, and under the spectators of passers-by, Wang Chuan arrived at Ye’s house.
The process of welcoming the bride went smoothly, Ye Dai did not need a high bride price, there is no barbaric family and bridesmaids, happily sat on the flower bridge was carried to the Causeway Lane.
The place of marriage is in the arranged pavilion school, there should be a lot of rituals, a real marriage.
In the presence of many neighbors, Wang Chen and Ye Dai were married.
Throughout the process, the bride’s father never appeared, by the county’s respected people as witnesses.
And the banquet was set up from the courtyard all the way to the entrance of the alley, lively and extraordinary.
Wang Dust let go of his heart in a rare moment, and toasted his way past table after table, and by the end of it all, he didn’t even know how many cups of wine he’d drunk without the slightest hint of alcohol, making a group of neighbors tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Mr. Wang is great!
The banquet didn’t end until the moon was over the willow, and after the banquet was over, the tables, chairs, and chopsticks were all cleaned up by the neighbors.
There was no need for Wang Duan to bother.
After everyone had left, Wang Dust closed the courtyard door and then came inside the new room.
The newly decorated room was lit by red candles, and a beautiful woman with a red head was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Next to the delicate maid Xiao Yu service.
Xiao Yu’s little face reddened as she saluted Wang Chen, “Greetings, Master.”
She was the maid who grew up with Ye Dai and naturally followed the latter to marry into the Wang family.
She belonged to the common room maids.
“Uh-huh.”
Wang Chen nodded, “You go out first.”
After sending the maid away, he took the joy scale and picked the red scarf covering the bride’s head.
The moment of stunning beauty made Wang Dust’s heart and mind flutter.
Ye Dai was not a stunning beauty, but tonight she was wearing a satin embroidered gold patterned wedding dress on a red background, her eyebrows were as picturesque as her starry eyes contained love, and she was as beautiful as she could be under the illumination of the candlelight!
“Mother…”
Wang Chen held up Ye Dai’s hand and drank a cup of fm radio with her.
Ye Dai’s drinking capacity is extremely high, and her pretty face is vaporized by the wine, instantly stained with a light reddish haze.
Wang Chen smiled faintly, “Madam, let’s rest.”
Ye Dai was so shy that she closed her eyes and nodded silently.
Wang Chen picked her up and gently placed her on top of the brocade couch, while blowing out the red candle.
All of a sudden, the room was in spring.
