Chapter 275 Getting married

In fact, it wasn't that Xu Zhaozhao was farsighted; it was simply because she knew how promising Fu Pei's future would be, which is why she thought of elevating her cousin's status.

Since we're going to carry it, we can't just carry one person's body; let's carry the other one too.

Moreover, if Xu Zhaozhao remembered correctly, in the original book, the Xu family was convicted of a crime, and the fate of Xu's two cousins ​​was not good either. Even though they were reduced to lowly status, they later helped their elder brother's children when they had the opportunity.

In short, these two cousins ​​are not bad people. You could say they lack ability, but you absolutely cannot call them evil people.

Now, Xu Zhaozhao has done everything she could; the rest is up to fate.

At least, Xu Zhaozhao felt that Fu Pei was not a womanizer, otherwise he wouldn't have remained unmarried in his previous life.

Having such a beautiful and virtuous wife as Xu Tingting in this life, I doubt I'd have any other thoughts.

As for Fang Liang, Xu Zhaozhao didn't know much about him, but she vaguely remembered that after the Xu family was convicted, Fang Dazhuang had indeed pleaded for them and cried out for their innocence.

It seems that it would be quite good if Xu Wanwan could marry into the Fang family.

“Miss, the young master’s wife is asking the second young mistress to come and help. She also said that if you bring anyone to Ziyuan again, she will ask you to come and help as well.”

Xu Zhaozhao felt a headache coming on as soon as she heard this. She immediately rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes. "Second sister-in-law, please go. I absolutely cannot go. I get a headache just looking at those booklets. No, no, just thinking about them is giving me a headache."

How could Princess Anhe not know that she was deliberately causing trouble?

"Alright, your sister-in-law isn't here, you don't need to be like this. Fine, I'll go check on her. My third brother's wedding is approaching, it's time to get busy."

Since Xu Junfeng returned, Princess Anhe has regained her former cheerfulness and liveliness.

After seeing her leave, Xu Zhaozhao sighed softly, then went straight into the house and lay down on the couch, refusing to get up no matter what.

The preparations for Xu Junting's wedding in the mansion were extensive, ranging from the furniture and decorations in the house to the dishes and utensils to be used on the wedding day.

The tableware used for banquets alone would probably fill several boxes.

Xu Zhaozhao offered to pay for the drinks, but she absolutely refused to do anything else.

Wang Ruolan didn't make things difficult for her: "On the wedding day, you should stay in the bridal chamber to talk with your third sister-in-law, and remember to give her something to eat so she doesn't go hungry."

"I know, mother."

Before they knew it, it was time for Xu Junting to get married.

Most of the wedding arrangements had been prepared long ago; if it weren't for Xu Han's military campaign, the wedding would have been held long ago.

Now that the whole family is reunited, this joyous occasion is naturally even more cherished.

After the wedding ceremony, Xu Junting would first escort his wife to the bridal chamber, and then lift her veil, and so on, following a series of procedures.

When Xu Junting and the bride finally looked at each other, he wished he could just collapse onto the bed and not go out to toast the guests.

Later, a matchmaker offered congratulations and exclaimed, and the couple drank the nuptial wine and tied their hair together, thus completing the marriage.

But Xu Junting didn't want to leave. Such a beautiful wife was already his, so why would he want to go out and entertain guests again?

It was only after his sister-in-law sent someone to urge him that Xu Junting reluctantly left the house.

Princess Anhe and Zhang were both outside helping their mother-in-law entertain guests, while Xu Zhaozhao stayed behind with her two cousins ​​to keep her sister-in-law company.

Li Mingya's makeup was very glamorous. Now that Xu Junting had lifted the veil and met her, she needed to take off the heavy headdress before Xu Junting returned and then calm down.

After all this was done, Li Mingya felt empty in her stomach and her legs were a little weak.

"Sister-in-law, please have a bowl of bird's nest porridge."

Xu Zhaozhao's address of "sister-in-law" made Li Mingya blush.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, I finally felt a little better.

The group already knew each other, and now that they had eaten together, they were no longer reserved and quickly started chatting and laughing together.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Zhaozhao knew they should leave when she saw her third brother being helped in by a nanny.

Xu Junting wasn't really drunk; he was just pretending so he could consummate the marriage later.

Just as Xu Zhaozhao was about to step forward to speak, one of Li Mingya's dowry maids actually stepped forward to support her, saying, "Young master, are you alright? I've already sent someone to prepare hot water."

Xu Zhaozhao frowned, while Xu Tingting and Xu Wanwan exchanged bewildered glances. Why did a girl suddenly speak up?

Li Mingya's expression also changed slightly. Before she could reprimand him, Xu Junting simply shook her off.

"go out!"

These words were naturally spoken to the maid.

Xu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow; it seemed that her third brother really wasn't drunk.

"Third brother, congratulations to you and your wife! Now that you're back, we sisters will take our leave."

Xu Tingting and Xu Wanwan also bowed and left together.

As for the maid from before, she was taken away with just a glance from Xu Zhaozhao.

Xu Junting's expression softened slightly when he saw the servants had closed the doors and windows. He strode over to Li Mingya and asked, "Did you use anything?"

Li Mingya nodded shyly: "Sister Zhaozhao had someone prepare bird's nest porridge for me."

"That's good. Are you still hungry? Would you like some more?"

Li Mingya shook her head. Her mother had told her before she left that she couldn't eat too much.

"I will help you change your clothes."

Xu Junting laughed and grabbed her hand: "My wife's hands are too small. How about I help you change your clothes?"

On the wedding night, the red candles must not be blown out.

The spring night was warm and cozy, and Xu Junting had a truly enjoyable time.

The next day, the two went to toast their parents-in-law again, and Li Mingya naturally prepared gifts for everyone in the household.

Xu Zhaozhao added with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, my third brother is quite generous. You'll have to keep a close eye on him in the future to prevent him from squandering money outside!"

Xu Junting glared at her: "Zhao Zhao, I didn't do anything to you, stop slandering me!"

His reaction amused everyone in the room.

Xu Junting then realized that his sister had teased him.

He raised his hand and pointed slightly, making a small threat, but before he could utter any harsh words, he was scolded twice by Zhang.

"Alright, you're her third brother. You took a few jokes seriously. I think your sister-in-law is more sensible."

This is clearly helping Li Mingya get a facial.

Even though Li Mingya was slow-witted, she knew that her elder sister-in-law was speaking up for her, so she quickly grabbed Xu Junting's sleeve and said, "Husband, Sister Zhaozhao is doing this for our own good."

Her little gesture made everyone in the room laugh even louder.

Only then did Li Mingya realize what she had just done, and her face instantly turned red to her ears.

Laughter and commotion aside, this is a joyous occasion, and we should be happy. However, there are some clueless individuals who still need to be dealt with.
