Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1346 - 551: Wedding Celebration (Part 2)

At that time, Yao Xiuran hadn’t yet passed the Palace Graduate exam, and Tingyi’s suggestion was for Yao Xiuran to purchase an official position and then seek an external appointment to slowly accumulate experience. By going to an external appointment, Yueying could also enjoy a more relaxed life. Both Yueying and Yao Xiuran agreed then, and taking into consideration their family ties, Tingyi helped to facilitate the process, even seeking help to get Yao Xiuran a post as a seventh-grade official, Zhoupan. But once everything was settled, Yao Xiuran had second thoughts and insisted on passing the Palace Graduate exam as a prerequisite for any official post. His words implied that Tingyi was somewhat delaying him, insinuating that it was Tingyi who was preventing him from continuing the exams. After this, Yueying remained completely silent, without even an apology.

Not to mention Tingyi, even Zhou Yue was infuriated by this. From then on, Zhou Yue was extremely cold to Yueying, maintaining only superficial relations when visiting her maternal family. As for Yao Xiuran’s later attempt to seek help from the Lian family after failing to secure a good posting despite passing the same exams, it was in vain. Tingyi simply ignored it, while Zhou Yue outright stated that the Lian family couldn’t help.

Yuehuan smiled and said: "Everyone, try this peach shortbread; I made it myself. It’s quite tasty." Yuehuan had no feelings for Yueying at all. Back when she was with the Lian family, Yuehuan had helped her a lot, and even after her marriage, she provided many conveniences to Yueying. However, after the incident, Yueying kept distancing herself, almost wishing to sever all ties. With such a person, it’s better not to associate.

Yuebing didn’t stay long before she left: "Fourth sister, I’ll come back tomorrow." With so much happening at the Marquis Luyang’s residence, she couldn’t stay outside too long.

Zhou Yue and Madam Shao also didn’t stay for long, but Yueyao remained in place. After everyone had left, Yueyao handed a stack of silver notes to Yuehuan: "This is the money for your thirty percent share."

Yuehuan thought it was a bit too much.

Yueyao smiled and said: "Take it, it’s yours!" It was naturally a bit more, but Yuehuan’s contribution to the shop was not insignificant, so a little extra was deserved.

Yuehuan said sincerely: "Third sister, I can never repay you for what I owe you in this lifetime." From the time she arrived in this world, she had been receiving Yueyao’s care, and even now, she still was.

Yuehuan sometimes felt incredibly fortunate, always meeting kind-hearted people in both her past and present lives.

Yueyao smiled slightly: "No need to talk about owing, it sounds so distant. I won’t be able to take care of you after leaving Capital City, so you have to be more mindful yourself."

Yuehuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Third sister, I’m actually quite anxious right now. I don’t know if I’ll be able to live a good life in the future." Last time she got married with the mindset of just getting by, but this time it felt completely different.

Yueyao was silent for a moment before saying: "I heard from your brother-in-law that your brother-in-law is straightforward. Such people are usually easy to get along with, so just tell him directly if there’s anything. If you beat around the bush, he might find it annoying, or even feel there’s a barrier."

Yuehuan nodded.

Seeing that Yuehuan was listening earnestly, Yueyao added a few more words: "After you get married, manage the household affairs well. Handle the external matters you can on your own, and those you can’t, talk to your brother-in-law for help. Also, let him tell you about his outside work, and moreover, if he doesn’t say anything, you shouldn’t pry. Yueyao especially mentioned this because Yuehuan was well-read with broad horizons, and she was worried Yuehuan might offer strategies to Zeng Dazhuang. Yuehuan wasn’t a strategist, she didn’t need to offer strategies. Yuehuan had once mentioned that women in that other world were all independent. However, the rules differ here, and being too independent or forceful would certainly not be advantageous.

Yuehuan took these words to heart. Yueyao surely had her unique skills to keep An Zhichen so devoted.

Yueyao specifically reminded Yuehuan: "Your brother-in-law hasn’t had much education, so you need to be mindful of your attitude. When you’re out socializing, you must maintain a good demeanor to prevent misunderstandings that you look down on him." Yueyao didn’t know much about Zeng Dazhuang, but she knew one common trait among men: they’re particularly concerned about their pride.

Yuehuan nodded repeatedly, wishing she could write it all down.

The next day was Yuehuan’s wedding day. At her request, everything was kept simple. The Lian family siblings gathered for a meal, and when Zeng Dazhuang arrived with the bridal sedan, firecrackers were set off, and Tingyuan carried Yuehuan to the sedan. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Xiang Wei, watching the sedan fade into the distance, muttered: "This is too simple." For a wedding, including the bridal party, transporting the dowry, and the drummers and trumpeters, there were a total of around sixty people, making the ceremony seem quite frugal.

Yueyao laughed: "It’s not the first marriage, the second can be simpler. If it was too extravagant, it would still be Yuehuan who suffers." When Madam Tang got married, it was indeed very lively, like a first wedding, but what happened? The Ma family remained silent, while members of the Qu family clan were dissatisfied.

Qu Chengye’s actions led to the Qu family being criticized for lacking rules and order. The wedding was lively, but because of dissatisfaction from the Qu family clan, Madam Tang couldn’t get her name into the clan’s registry until she gave birth to a son.

Zeng Dazhuang had no relatives or friends in Capital City, but he had many colleagues. On the day of his marriage, his colleagues naturally came to join the fun.

After escorting the bride, several of the men clamored to tease the newlyweds, and when Zeng Dazhuang finally unveiled Yuehuan’s face, everyone gasped in amazement.

Northwest men were straightforward, and one of them, after collecting himself, shouted: "Old Zeng, no wonder you’ve been walking with such a spring in your step lately, smiling all the time like you’ve won the lottery. Turns out you were marrying a heavenly beauty!"

The crowd erupted in uproarious laughter.

Seeing the commotion, Zeng Dazhuang feared they might scare Yuehuan, but when he turned and saw her smiling with her lips pursed, he relaxed and quickly shooed the rowdy bunch out of the bridal chamber.
