save the bachelors

Chapter 4734 [Yuanchun’s Wedding]

Xiang Nan and Jia Lian received Xue Pan on behalf of the Jia family.

"It's a good thing that big brother can come to the capital. The capital is the best place, with abundant resources and outstanding people." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "After big brother comes, he can also be influenced more and cultivate his character. Don't make trouble like you did in Jinling."

"That's right. The capital is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and it's a mixed bag. Brother Xue, you must be more careful in the capital in the future and don't act recklessly. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, it will be terrible." Jia Lian also reminded.

He also looked down on Xue Pan. As a young man, it was normal for him to be lustful. But beating someone to death in the street just to fight for a woman was too unwise.

Young masters like them have many ways to get women, but resorting to such violent means is simply a disgrace to the dandy class.

Xue Pan was taught a lesson by Xiang Nan and Jia Lian. Although it was humiliating, he had no choice but to endure it.

Although he is nicknamed "The Big Fool Xue" and can be ruthless when he gets angry, he is usually a decent person.

He knew how powerful Xiang Nan was, and also knew how powerful Jia Lian was. He was now the emperor's uncle, much more powerful than him.

Besides, people are despised when they leave their hometown. Jinling is his hometown, and the Xue family is a local tyrant in Jinling. Anyone who hears the name "Dai Ba Wang" must give him some face.

But when he arrived in the capital, he suddenly became half a head shorter.

The Xue family didn't have any influence in the capital, but it was just the connections left by Xue's father. The only ones they could really rely on were the Jia family and the Wang family. If they offended these two families, it would be difficult for the Xue family to gain a foothold in the capital.

Therefore, despite Xiang Nan and Jia Lian's teachings, Xue Pan could only listen.

Afterwards, the Xue family was settled in Lixiangyuan.

It was originally the place where Rong Gong spent his old age, a small and neat place with about ten rooms, complete with a front hall and a back room. There was also a door leading to the street, and Xue Pan's family came in and out through this door.

……

After settling the Xue family, Yuanchun got married.

On the day of the wedding, the emperor sent a pair of ministers with two children as messengers to welcome the bride.

The ceremonial guard and drum band were in the front, the wedding messenger was in the middle, followed by the eunuchs, guards, civil and military officials of the court, and then the empress's ceremonial guard, as well as dozens of carts carrying gifts. The procession was so grand that it filled the entire street.

Soon they arrived at the Jia Mansion. Everyone in the Jia Mansion was waiting at the door long ago, including Aunt Xue, Xue Pan, Xue Baochai and others.

The Jia Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with dancing dragons on the tents and flying phoenixes on the curtains; gold and silver shone brightly, jewels competed for brilliance; cauldrons burned the fragrance of lilies, and vases were filled with evergreen buds...

After the wedding envoy arrived, he began to announce the official canonization of Jia Yuanchun as the queen, and awarded her a gold book and a gold treasure. Then he took Yuanchun to the sedan chair and returned to the palace with music and dance all the way.

Before Jia Yuanchun got married, Xiang Nan gave her three gifts.

One is the Holy Cross, which Xiang Nan got from Colibuso. Wearing it can make people calm and happy.

One is a two-sided mirror, which can be used to meet with family members on a daily basis and to contact them in time if something happens; the other is a talisman for warding off disasters and diseases.

Medical conditions in ancient times were relatively backward. Not to mention cancer, even a small cold could easily kill people. Therefore, Xiang Nan prepared a box of talismans for Jia Yuanchun, all of which were used to eliminate various diseases.

This was drawn by him personally. It is not a trick of a quack. It really has the effect of curing diseases and exorcising evil spirits. If you have a headache, fever, typhoid fever, or dysentery, just burn a talisman and drink it.

"Although you have entered the palace, don't be wronged. Even if the emperor dares to treat you badly, I have a way to control him." Xiang Nan said to Yuanchun, "I am your biggest support."

"My good brother." Yuanchun was naturally moved to hear Xiang Nan say this.

……

When Yuanchun got on the sedan chair and went to the palace to get married, the Jia family naturally had another lively time. The Jia family also held a big banquet to entertain relatives, friends, and officials.

Not only did high-ranking officials and celebrities in the capital come to congratulate them, but even people who lived far away and had some connection with the family came to congratulate the Jia family.

Therefore, not only was the imperial palace extremely lively, but the Jia family was also filled with guests and distinguished guests, making it extremely lively.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were in charge of the affairs and were so busy that they had no time to rest.

"Sister, are you tired?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Well, this is the first time I've encountered such a big thing, so I'm naturally very busy." Wang Xifeng nodded.

There are thousands of guests coming to congratulate today. I have to welcome them, chat with them, and arrange the banquet... I have to make sure that every guest has no complaints. It's not easy.

Fortunately, she was smart and good at dealing with people, and finally she agreed, but she was also very tired.

"Come, sister, drink a bowl of medicine to replenish your energy." Xiang Nan took out a vitality potion and handed it to Wang Xifeng.

He was a master at brewing potions, so it was natural for him to make some nourishing and energetic potions without any effort.

Wang Xifeng drank one and the effect was immediate. She originally felt dizzy and exhausted, but after drinking the potion, she immediately felt refreshed and full of energy, as if she had endless energy.

"Brother Bao, this medicine is great. Give me a few more." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"The medicine is good, but you can't drink it often." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you drink it often, it's easy to overdraw your physical strength. I'll give you seven more. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll help you take care of yourself, and I guarantee you'll be able to hold a big fat boy next year."

"Really?!" Wang Xifeng was overjoyed when she heard it.

Although she is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion and seems to be very powerful, she actually has her own hidden dangers. That is, she has been married for five years and still has no children.

There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. If you haven’t had a child after five years of marriage, it’s already dangerous, and people will question your fertility.

If not, Jia Lian could divorce her. Even if he didn't divorce her, she couldn't stop Jia Lian from taking a concubine. Jia Lian usually liked to flirt with other women, so it would be even more extraordinary if he could openly take a concubine.

If the concubine gave birth to a child and she had no children, it would be even more troublesome. I am afraid Jia Lian would favor the concubine over his wife, and she would have no place to stand.

Therefore, "giving birth to a child" is what she wants to do most at the moment. Once she gives birth to a son, she will have a firm foothold in the Jia family, and no one can say anything bad about her anymore.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

"Well, when I get pregnant, I will definitely reward you well." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded.

……

In order to celebrate Yuanchun's wedding, the Jia family held a seven-day banquet to entertain all the guests.

After entertaining all the guests, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion specially called a troupe to the mansion to comfort the whole family and invited the whole family to watch the show.

The plays sung included "Ding Lang Recognizes His Father", "Huang Boyang Sets Up the Ghost Array", "Sun Xingzhe Makes Trouble in Heaven", "Jiang Ziya Beheads His Generals and Becomes a God", etc. Suddenly, gods and ghosts appeared, and then demons and monsters appeared. There were even banners flying, Buddhist chants and incense burning, and the sounds of gongs and drums could be heard from far away in the alley.

Everyone on the street praised: "What a lively show, it's something you can never have in other places!"
