C178 (2/2)
Ling Chaofeng watched from the side and guessed what the Xiaowan was thinking. After avoiding everyone, he grabbed the Xiaowan's hand and said, ”I will think of a way to ask father-in-law to send Wen Bao to a good school to study. If he really has no future, then this is the only way. Wen Juan is a girl, and she has to be treasured even more. If anything happens to her in the future, we will definitely not be indifferent to it. When she reaches the age of marriage, find a good home for her and don't make it difficult for her with the matters of the Madam Xu. ”
Xiaowan was very grateful, but she said, ”Let's talk about the future. Don't worry about it, I will feel guilty.”
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”I was abandoned the moment I was born, and now I can walk around and obtain so many family members, especially you, even if there are troubles, it's fate. Furthermore, you and I need not to be so clear about each other. What is there to be courteous about between husband and wife? ”
The Xiaowan said as she gently pushed Ling Chaofeng's hands away, ”You haven't even entered a hall yet, which one is your wife?”
Ling Chaofeng asked: ”Then do you know what we need to do after we pay our respects?”
Xiaowan's heart started to boil. She pursed her lips and looked at Ling Chaofeng with gentle eyes. ”Then tell me about it.”
Ling Chaofeng stepped forward: ”If you say you can do it then you can understand it. When the time comes, I will teach you with my own hands.”
Although they had yet to go to the bridal chamber, they had experienced rough times together and had long been intimate with each other. It was not taboo for them to say such words of love.
Xiaowan pushed him away and said: ”Seeing such an upright and proper person, it's bad enough to bully others.”
She smiled and ran off to look for Aunt Zhang. Ling Chaofeng followed behind her, and seeing them winking at each other, he mischievously said: ”Don't trap me in the middle, don't tell me you want to take me with you when you go back to the bridal room?”
Xiaowan's face flushed red. Little Pei ran over to pull her skirt, saying: ”Aunt, can you bring me along too?”
Ling Chaofeng was greatly embarrassed, he stepped forward and carried his son upstairs, wanting to properly teach him the rules.
The two of them laughed as they watched the father and son duo go to the third floor. Aunt Zhang then said to Xiaowan, ”Tomorrow morning, we will go to town to get married.
Xiaowan was embarrassed: ”Aunt, don't spend too much money, I will bow to the hall with the shopkeeper.”
Aunt Zhang laughed: ”This is not up to you. I promised Chao Feng's mother that I would not let her son's wife down.
Thus, the next morning, Aunt Zhang brought Susu and Xiaowan to the town's cloth farm and ordered the best materials for Xiaowan to make the wedding clothes. They invited the best embroidery mother and set a deadline of half a month.
After that, he went to the gold shop to buy gold bracelets and jewelry, and set up new furniture. He went to Li Prefecture a long way away and strolled around outside for an entire day.
When they returned home in the evening, they could see from afar that there were many people gathered in front of the inn. The three of them could not help but be worried.
As he got closer, he noticed that they were all soldiers with imposing auras. They were neatly lined up in front of the tavern, like wooden stakes. They were motionless.
”It's Chuanyu’s Army, right?” The Aunt Zhang said as she led the way and entered the door with Susu.
In the tavern, Ling Chaofeng was talking to the General Wei. Seeing that they had returned, he pulled them over and introduced them to the General Wei: ”General, this is my fiancée, Mu Xiaowan. ”It's a pity that the general came and went in a hurry. Otherwise, he would have been able to drink my wedding wine in half a month.”
He then said to Xiaowan, ”Xiaowan, this is the great general of Chuanyu, General Wei.”
Xiaowan respectfully greeted: ”Greetings, General Wei.”
Wei Tengfei laughed: ”The bride is as beautiful as a fairy, Manager Ling, you sure are lucky.”
Xiaowan lowered her eyes and shyly took a few steps back, but Ling Chaofeng grabbed her hand and sat beside her.
He would not stare at another's wife for too long, but just now, when he saw Xiaowan, he had an inexplicable feeling of absent-mindedness. Luckily, that feeling had already disappeared, and all that remained was his blessings as he said guiltily to Xiaowan: ”After it's autumn, Manager Ling is going to leave with me for a month, so I hope that my new wife will take care of me.”
Xiaowan did not say anything. Before the sky turned dark, General Wei left with his people in a flurry. When they were out of sight, Xiaowan asked Ling Chaofeng, ”Where are you going in a month?”
Ling Chaofeng then said: ”Follow me.”
He brought Xiaowan to the cellar, where she was shocked to find countless gold and silver treasures. Ling Chaofeng told her that he was openly opening an inn to amass wealth for the imperial government, and from his parents' generation until now, he had always been working for the imperial government.
The Xiaowan listened until she was dumbfounded. Ling Chaofeng said, ”After autumn, I will go with the General Wei to open a new mountain. The Emperor will build another weapons factory.”
