Li Yu and Zhou Jia carried Yangyang to bed and slept. They smiled and told Zhou Jia about Seven Pounds’ decision to learn medicine.
When Zhou Jia heard this, he smiled and said, “This child is the same as Ruyi. He has a plan. It’s good that he wants to learn medicine! It’s a pity that Sir doesn’t have a successor with his exquisite medical skills.”
Li Yu thought for a moment and asked curiously, “I remember that Sir took in a disciple! Why haven’t I heard Sir mention your senior brother in the past few years? Is there a reason?”
Zhou Jia smiled and said, “You know that Sir is indifferent. When he was practicing medicine, he often taught those commoners to recognize medicinal herbs. His two disciples were also medicine children that he took in. They didn’t officially acknowledge him as their master.
Later on. because the two of them often used expensive medicinal herbs for
those patients when they were practicing medicine, Sir criticized them. Although they said that they would change, they still did whatever they wanted behind his back. Later, when they treated the poor, they did the same. In a fit of anger, Sir stopped interacting with them. The medicine boy from last time was not bad. When he returned to Qingzhou to see his parents, there was no news. Only when Sir found Qingzhou did he know that his family had encountered bandits.”
Only then did Li Yu understand why Mr. Wen was so alone and didn’t even have a medicine boy to help him. “It’s reasonable for rich families to use expensive medicinal herbs. It was too mercenary of them to prescribe expensive medicinal herbs to poor families. Sir did the right thing. It seems that Sir’s judgment in people is bad!”
Zhou Jia smiled. “Sir does things according to his heart. Sir used to say that Seven Pounds is talented in recognizing medicine. He will definitely be willing to teach Seven Pounds.”
Li Yu yawned repeatedly. “That’s true! Go to sleep! The Fan family will send the dowry tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Zhou Jia smiled and extinguished the oil lamp.
The word “happiness” were pasted everywhere on the walls, doors, and windows of the Fan family’s house. There were also paper cutouts in the corners that symbolized celebration. At a glance, it was festive.
Madam Wu brought the old woman and pasted the big red box full of dowry. She looked at the dowry in the courtyard and nodded in satisfaction. She was relieved when she thought of how the dowry that she had been preparing for Wanwan since she was a few years old could be placed into the big red box today.
Madam Wu checked carefully. Fan Wenzheng walked into the courtyard happily. “Madam, is the dowry ready? Is the person who is sending it ready?”
“I’m ready. You’ve asked more than ten times today.” Madam Wu looked at him and smiled reproachfully.
Fan Wenzheng looked at the courtyard filled with boxes with the word
“happiness” pasted on them and sighed. “Sigh! When I think about how our Wanwan is going out the day after tomorrow, I don’t know what’s going on in my heart. I feel poignant and upset. In the past, I couldn’t wait for her to get married as soon as possible and settle one of our worries. When the day comes,
I feel uncomfortable and upset.”
Madam Wu had a satisfied smile on her face. “I don’t think so. Think about it. Our son-in-law has good character, looks, and ability. Although the elders in the family are no longer around, her sister-in-law is not scheming, and she even protected her. Wanwan can take charge after marrying into the family.
He’s really a great candidate for a son-in-law.”
Fan Wenzheng nodded repeatedly. “Madam is right. As long as the child lives well, what else are we dissatisfied with?”
The next morning, Fan Mingfang’s dowry was carried into the Li family. The entire Li family was filled with joy and liveliness. Li Yu stood under the eaves of the main porch and looked at the redness with a happy expression.
Yangyang was wearing a bright red new shirt and together with a strong-looking little boy from the Lin family, he was carried to the new bed to roll on it. As he rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, the matron of honor chanted an auspicious blessing song. “The boy rolls on the bed and the festive news spread in all directions. He must be a good son. The night of love is worth a thousand gold coins. Have a long dream in the future.”
The two of them rolled from the end of the bed to the head of the bed and the matron of honor chanted three different blessings and made the two children roll three times before ending the ritual.
On September 18th, the Li family was filled with guests. Zhou Jia was dressed in festive clothes and welcomed the guests at the door. The Gong sisters welcomed the women at the second door.
Li Yu looked at the imposing Li Qing in his auspicious clothes with a smile. She suddenly felt that the Li family’s son had grown up.
Fan Mingfang had been scooped up from the bed by Madam Wu early in the morning. She was stuffed into a fragrant bathtub and washed her face. An aunt in the clan helped her to freshen up.
“First comb until your white hair reaches your eyebrows, second comb…’
As Madam chanted, Fan Mingfang closed her eyes. Madam opened her face for her and used a thread to twist away the hair on her face and the new soft hair at her temples. Fan Mingfang opened her eyes and watched as the woman in the bronze mirror slowly became unlike her. She saw that her face was covered in layers of fragrant powder and her entire face was pale. In the end, only her red blush and cherry-shaped lips were red.
Aunt combed her hair into a peony bun and put on the wedding dress before putting the phoenix crown on her.
Just as Fan Mingfang packed up, someone shouted from outside, “The auspicious time has arrived. Miss, get in the sedan chair!”
Fan Mingfang thought of her mother’s instructions and did not move for the first time. She waited for someone to persuade her to get into the sedan chair. After a while, someone shouted, “The auspicious time has arrived. Miss, get into the sedan chair!”
It was not until the third time that Aunt covered Fan Mingfang. Fan Mingcheng, who had been waiting outside, came in and carried Fan Mingfang on his back. “Sister, Brother will carry you to the sedan chair.”
Hearing her brother’s hoarse voice, Fan Mingfang felt a lump in her throat. She lifted the veil and saw Madam Wu looking at her with tears on her face. Tears flowed down her face involuntarily. Aunt hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief. “Wanwan, you can’t shed tears on a big day. It’s inauspicious.”
Madam Wu held back her tears and smiled as she went forward to cover her head. “Go! After you return home, live a peaceful life.”
Fan Mingfang nodded and was carried out of the courtyard by her brother and sent to the bridal sedan chair. Li Qing, who was overjoyed, followed his wife into the bridal sedan chair and walked back amid the firecrackers. Fan Wenzheng splashed a basin of water.
When they arrived at the Li residence, Fan Mingfang was helped out of the bridal sedan chair by the matron of honor. A red silk rope was stuffed into her hand. She held the matron of honor’s hand and listened to her instructions in a daze. She turned left and right and stepped over the brazier. After walking for a while, she heard the matron of honor say, “Bride, we’re in the central room.
We’re at the wedding.”
“Yes!” Fan Mingfang replied softly.
Li Yu’s eyes were filled with tears of joy. She looked at the happy Li Qing and slowly walked towards the main room with Fan Mingfang.
Li Qing looked at Li Yu and his brother-in-law, who were standing under the eaves of the main room, and nodded at them happily.
Yangyang, who was standing at the side to watch the ceremony, whispered to Seven Pounds, “Uncle is really good-looking today. The handsome man in the book is like Uncle.”
“Yes!” Seven Pounds nodded in agreement. “Uncle is better-looking than all the grooms. ”
Li Yu smiled and patted each of them. “Little imps.”
Laidi sat among the people congratulating him and looked at the dignified Li Qing with a happy smile.
Everyone entered the central room and heard the emcee shout in a clear voice, “One bow to the heavens and earth, two bows to the high hall… Husband and wife bow to each other…” As the master of ceremonies shouted, he kept saying festive blessings.
Fan Mingfang knelt again and again in response to the emcee’s voice. After the emcee stopped, a pair of warm and strong hands held her hand. Li Qing held her right hand and walked towards the bridal chamber..
