Chapter 254 The Jiang Family's Daughter's Wedding
March 30th.
It's a good day.
Good to get married.
A daughter of the Jiang family in Qingshi Town, Jiangzhou, was getting married.
Jiang, the older single woman who had been rejected multiple times, finally got married.
She married a talented young man, who was said to be a scholar.
Some offered sincere blessings, while others felt resentful.
For example, Jiang Yunyan, the aunt of Miss Jiang, actually spread rumors and slandered her reputation before the marriage.
Then he was sent to prison again.
They were not released until Jiang Qiao'er got married.
And the mentally challenged son of the landlord Liu from the same village also got married on the same day.
Perhaps it was a truly auspicious day, or perhaps it was done on purpose.
In short, none of that matters anymore.
This day.
The Jiang family was filled with distinguished guests, and everyone was in high spirits. Even the county magistrate and the Cui family from Jiangzhou sent congratulatory gifts.
Lu Qingyao was a little busy, so she left Jiang Miaomiao and little Jiang Wenxuan in Xi'er's care today.
Xi'er was a little nervous about having to look after two children all at once.
The main problem was that the two kids were too energetic, and there were too many people around.
She followed closely behind, afraid of losing them.
Before Jiang Miaomiao even entered the house, she saw her aunt, mother, and other female relatives surrounding her older sister, giving her earnest instructions.
This made Qiaojie very nervous. She clasped her hands tightly together, clutching her handkerchief, and her face turned red.
When Sister Qiao was alone in the room, Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Wenxuan sneaked in.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Jiang Miaomiao asked, looking at her sister who was dressed in red, looking both cheerful and beautiful.
Jiang Miaomiao wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that Sister Qiao was just shy.
"N-nothing..." Jiang Qiao'er blushed even more and quickly hid a small booklet in the box.
She had heard Zhao Di talk about childbirth before, but she was too young to understand anything at the time.
Today, after hearing her aunt and mother talk about it, and looking at the booklet again, she immediately understood.
Looking at the two eager little children in front of her, her cheeks flushed, and she casually said, "I'm just a little hungry."
She felt very reluctant to leave the home she had lived in for so many years.
He hugged his younger brother and sister, kissed their little heads, and gave Jiang Wenxuan all sorts of instructions.
Jiang Miao took out a bag of walnuts from her small cloth bag. "I knew my sister would be hungry. If you eat these, you won't need to poop if you drink less water."
She heard that on her wedding day, in order to avoid being impolite and to minimize urination, the bride could not eat much and was almost always hungry.
Jiang Wenxuan pulled out a bag of peach blossom pastries and said, "Sister, eat these. Walnuts won't fill you up."
Just as Jiang Qiao'er was about to reach for the peach blossom pastry, she heard Aunt Qin Su's teachings.
On your wedding day, drink less water and eat less food...
Endure.
She withdrew her hand and picked up the walnuts that Xiao Miaomiao had prepared for her.
Before I had taken more than a few bites, I heard someone outside call out that the son-in-law had arrived.
Jiang Miaomiao had no choice but to hand over the peach blossom pastry and walnuts to her sister's dowry maid and run out to see for herself.
Sun Yanshu, still as refined and scholarly as ever, arrived riding a tall horse, dressed in red.
He came to marry his bride.
His face was beaming with joy.
Upon entering the hall, the bride and groom kowtow to each other, offer tea, and bid farewell to their parents.
My uncle's eyes were slightly red, and my aunt burst into tears in my mother's arms.
The bride's brothers, Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan, were accompanying her, and they were all chatting and laughing.
For them, marrying their sister to their friend's brother meant that they could still see each other often in the future, so they had nothing to worry about.
But ultimately she will marry into another family, so it's inevitable that she will feel some sadness.
They thought that if Miaomiao got married in the future, they would definitely cry their eyes out.
Jiang Ziyan thought he had to study hard, rise to a high position, and find a husband for his sister in the future.
Jiang Zifeng thought that he had to practice martial arts well so that he could find a husband for his sister. If anyone dared to bully his sister, he would beat them to a pulp.
So, the two brothers unanimously acquired a new life goal.
He wanted to find a husband for his younger sister.
Little did Jiang Miaomiao know that her brothers had already thought so far ahead for her, even considering marriage.
She watched as her sister Qiao was led away, placed in a bridal sedan chair, and walked further and further away.
The sound of firecrackers, the beating of gongs and drums created a lively and festive atmosphere.
The wedding procession disappeared into the village.
She was still somewhat dazed and a little sad.
That day, she barely spoke a few words to Sister Qiao before she became someone else's family.
Who knows when we'll meet again?
That's how it was in ancient times; carriages and horses moved slowly, and letters were slow to arrive.
The number of people you meet in your lifetime is very limited.
If meeting someone is fate, then it truly is a deep fate.
Instead of the polite words we use now.
Jiang Qiao'er cried when she said goodbye to her parents. Now she was tired from crying and felt sleepy and hungry. She touched her waist and luckily there were walnuts prepared by her younger sister.
She had been nervous before, but now her strongest feeling was hunger.
However, the thought of finally getting married, and to the man she loved, filled her with excitement.
Good news keeps coming to the Jiang family in Jiangzhou.
The Jiang family in the capital, however, did not fare so well.
When Qi Caiwei heard that her son couldn't be brought back and had truly become a nun, she couldn't even get a divorce.
She was so angry that she fainted.
While taking care of her mother, Jiang Zijin flipped through the almanac.
March 30th.
It turned out to be Jiang Qiao'er's wedding day.
Recalling the fate of Uncle Jiang's family in her previous life, she began to feel uneasy.
It's different, so very different.
In her previous life, she hadn't paid much attention to this cousin.
I didn't even know this person existed when I was a child.
I learned all of this later from my father.
Uncle Jiang was heavily in debt in Jiangzhou, and people came to his door every day to collect the debts.
He went to work at the dock to pay off his debts, but unfortunately fell into the river and drowned. His remains were never found.
After that, Jiang Qiao'er married the mentally challenged son of a landlord in the village. She died in childbirth after giving birth to a son.
He's unlucky.
Aunt Jiang was overwhelmed with burdens, having to support her son and elderly mother, and burdened with huge debts.
Can't live anymore.
A family died from a pot of porridge with oleander juice added to it.
When Jiang Zijin heard this, she felt sorry for them and wondered why they didn't ask her father for help.
Father was heartbroken for a long time because of this, and specially returned to his hometown to build a cenotaph for his cousin and handle the funeral arrangements.
But in this life, everything seems to have changed.
They lived well, paid off their debts, built a house, and became wealthy in Qing Shi Town. Jiang Qiao'er even married a scholar, not a fool.
Although she also felt pity for Uncle Jiang's family from her previous life.
But things have turned out this way, and it seems to be developing in a direction that is out of her control.
This made her very frightened and uneasy.
She thought she had gained some kind of prophecy and that her life would be easier than others.
I didn't expect it to be this difficult. What I want, I still have to work hard to achieve.
It seems she can't hang herself on Prince Jing's crooked tree.
I need to start making plans for myself again.
More choices, more paths.
