save the bachelors

Chapter 4762 [Happy Wedding]

In October, Jia Zheng once again submitted a petition, asking Yuanchun to return home to visit her parents.

In fact, the emperor had originally agreed that Yuanchun could return home to visit her parents once a year.

But the year before last she was pregnant and could not leave the palace; last year there was a national mourning, so naturally she could not leave the palace again.

Now that the prince has been born and the national mourning has been lifted, Jia Zheng submitted a petition, hoping to invite Yuanchun to return home to visit her parents.

The emperor naturally granted his approval quickly and scheduled the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month for the empress to return home to visit her parents again.

The Jia family immediately took action to renovate and repaint the Grand View Garden in preparation for Yuanchun's visit.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to send people to Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy a group of young actors. After all, all the previous actors had been disbanded due to the national mourning.

Fangguan, Kuiguan, Ruiguan, Ouguan and others have not learned or performed opera for nearly two years. Even if they still have some basic skills, it would be difficult for them to entertain the Queen.

Besides, there are only seven of them now, and they are not complete, so it would be better to buy a new troupe of actors. Anyway, the Jia family has plenty of money, so why be stingy?

However, Xiang Nan stopped her idea, "I know Madam wants to give the best to my sister, but it's not worth buying another batch of little actors, just leave it to me."

"Leave it to you? Baoyu, do you have any idea?" Mrs. Wang asked doubtfully.

Xiang Nan nodded, "I know the art of circular light. I can invite down not only a group of little actors, but even Chang'e from the moon."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Wang was relieved.

……

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuanchun finally returned home to visit her family.

This time, the visit home was even more grand than the last time.

The reason is very simple. Yuanchun is not only the queen now, but also the mother of the prince. Her status is more solid than before, so it is natural to celebrate it with great fanfare.

Therefore, the Jia Mansion was decorated with lights and colors inside and outside, and was extremely luxurious.

When Yuanchun saw Lady Jia, Lady Wang, Xiang Nan, Wang Xifeng and others again, she was naturally very happy and her eyes were filled with tears.

Although Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others could usually go to the palace to pay their respects and could communicate with each other through a two-way mirror, it was still not as comfortable as being at home.

After chatting about family matters, they had a banquet and watched a play.

Xiang Nan immediately used the circular light technique, and in an instant, dozens of fairies descended from the sky and performed singing and dancing for Yuanchun.

Each of these fairies was incomparably beautiful and otherworldly. Their dancing was as graceful as a dragon, their singing was melodious, and their performance was so perfect that everyone in the audience was stunned.

It was the first time for everyone to see such a wonderful sight and they were all amazed.

People like Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Xue Pan and other useless people were even more shocked.

I just feel that these fairies are so beautiful and charming, comparable to Chang'e in the moon, and I wish I could go up and have a kiss on them.

It was not until the evening that Yuanchun returned to the palace.

Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng and others to take good care of their health, and told Xiang Nan to do more things that benefit the country and the people, and not to act recklessly by relying on his status as a god.

He also advised Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and others to read more books such as "Instructions for Women" and "Biographies of Women" to learn the wisdom of the sages so that they could better support their husbands and children and be filial to their parents-in-law in the future.

……

After the twelfth lunar month comes the Spring Festival.

The Jia family was naturally bustling with activity. After the Spring Festival, Xiang Nan and Lin Daiyu would get married.

They have a prince and a prince consort, so their wedding should be a grand ceremony.

As for Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, they are concubines, so there is no need for a grand ceremony. When the time comes, they can just be carried into the prince's mansion in sedan chairs.

Not only did the Jia family and the Lin family devote a lot of effort to the wedding of Xiang Nan and Lin Daiyu, but even the Emperor Jiaxing and the Empress Jia Yuanchun gave generous gifts.

On the wedding day, there were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, guests flocking to the house, and there were so many people that the entire Ningrong Street was blocked.

Xiang Nan chose an auspicious time to welcome his bride, worship heaven and earth, and enter the bridal chamber. Everything followed the old customs. However, due to Xiang Nan's different status, it was extra grand.

After bowing to heaven and earth, she bowed four times to Lady Jia, then to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and then Xiang Nan and Lin Daiyu were sent to the bridal chamber.

Xiang Nan used a weighing rod to lift the veil on Lin Daiyu's head, revealing that she was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with lips that were naturally red and eyebrows that were naturally green, which further highlighted her peerless beauty and rare elegance.

Although Xiang Nan had seen countless women, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

Seeing him staring at her in a daze, Lin Daiyu blushed unconsciously.

"Sister, you look so beautiful in this wedding dress." Xiang Nan praised with a smile.

"Brother, you look good in this groom's clothes." Lin Daiyu said shyly.

"Ever since the day I saw my sister five years ago, I knew that I would marry no one else in this life. Now my wish has come true." Xiang Nan said again.

"Really?" Hearing him say that, Lin Daiyu was also a little surprised. This was the first time she heard Xiang Nan confess his true feelings.

"Of course. In fact, my sister and I are a natural couple." Xiang Nan explained, "My sister's previous life was a red pearl fairy grass beside the Sansheng Stone on the bank of the Western Spirit River.

I am the attendant of the Chixia Palace, the Divine Ying, who waters you every day. Later, you were inspired by the sun and the moon, cultivated into a human, and transformed into a woman. You were grateful for my kindness and fell in love with me.

But the fairy world does not allow love between men and women, so you and I came down to the world as humans. Because you have received my kindness in watering you, you swear to repay me with tears in this life. When your tears run dry, that will be the day when you and I return to the fairy world. "

"So that's it." Lin Daiyu suddenly realized. No wonder she felt Xiang Nan looked familiar when she first saw him, as if she had seen him somewhere.

No wonder the bald monk told her, "If you want to recover from your illness, you must never hear any crying sounds from now on; except for your parents, you must never see any relatives or friends other than your parents, only then can you live in peace in this life."

It turns out that there is this cause and effect.

She was then moved and happy.

In fact, Lin Daiyu had already fallen in love with Xiang Nan.

First of all, Xiang Nan is indeed outstanding. Not only is he handsome and talented, but he also has a pure heart.

The key is that he treats girls very well, treating everyone with courtesy, even the maids like Xiren and Qingwen, and taking good care of them. Unlike other men, who are lustful and have no manners.

Secondly, although there were many men in the huge Jia Mansion, outsiders could not enter at all. Even relatives such as Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Lian could not easily enter the inner house.

Therefore, the only man she can see on a daily basis is Xiang Nan. As the saying goes, those who are close to water get the moon first, and those who are facing the sun are more likely to have spring, so it is easier for them to develop feelings.

Although Xiang Nan had always been with her before and took great care of her, he had never revealed his feelings to her, nor had he done anything inappropriate. They just maintained a close relationship as cousins.

This naturally made her feel anxious and worried, and she didn't know how many times she felt sad about the passing of time and how many tears she shed secretly.

Therefore, when she heard Xiang Nan say that they were a perfect match and destined to be together, she was naturally happy and moved.

To be honest, she was quite worried about how to compete with Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun for favor in the future. Now, after listening to Xiang Nan's words, she felt relieved.
