After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 889 The Younger Sister Gets Married
Captain Bei, the Imperial Guard responsible for protecting the Qin family: "..."

These villagers are really outspoken; don't they have any fear of what's going on?
Bei Zongqi dispatched ten imperial guards to shout to the villagers gathered at the halfway post: "Today is a joyous day for the Qin and Guan families. Do not utter any celebratory remarks!!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers, seeing the imposing Imperial Guards, knew they should keep quiet and stop speaking ill of Clerk Guan.

But in his heart, he was cursing Guan, the clerk: "Old man, hypocrite. He hasn't proposed marriage all these years, so he just wants to get a big shot. He's a freeloader. I despise Guan, the clerk."

But they said they learned a lot!

Boom boom boom!
The drum music was deep and resonant. Madam Kang sang: "The Guan family presents twenty-four loads of betrothal gifts to seek the hand in marriage with the Qin family's daughter; Elder Qin accepts the betrothal gifts and grants his daughter the right to enter the Guan family. The marriage is a perfect match, a joyous and wonderful occasion!"

Using the traditional Wei-style chanting style, accompanied by joyful sounds, the announcement was repeated nine times, symbolizing the wish for a long and happy marriage for the newlyweds.

Everyone present offered their congratulations: "Great joy, wonderful celebration!"

Grandpa and Grandma Qin, along with Uncle Qin and his wife, and the third-generation male descendants Qin Xiaogu and Qin Xiaomai, returned the greetings and thanked everyone: "Congratulations to you all!"

He added, "We have prepared sweet glutinous rice balls at home. Please have a bowl, all of you guests."

According to the customs of the Great Wei, betrothal gifts are sent three days before the wedding. The bride's family does not provide a meal, but only offers some sweets, symbolizing that the newlyweds' life will be sweet and happy.

Grandpa Qin's family prepared a lot of glutinous rice balls and sweet pies for everyone to eat.

Since Mr. Qiong was acting as the elder of the groom's family, the first bowl of glutinous rice balls was his. Grandpa Qin personally served it to him: "Mr. Qiong, please have some."

"Great news!" Old Qiong took the glutinous rice balls, ate them all, and said with a smile, "Sweet, sweet, sweet."

Others quickly chimed in, "The marriage between the Qin and Guan families is so sweet!"

Haha, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin laughed heartily. Another heavy burden in their lives had been lifted off their shoulders. The two elders were overjoyed and, together with the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families, served glutinous rice balls to the guests.

The sweet pies were distributed to the villagers outside the sentry post by Qin Cunquan and his wife, along with their servants.

Everyone offered many words of congratulations.

The area around Xindajie was bustling until the afternoon before it finally quieted down.

As soon as Uncle Qin got home, he slumped into a chair and said, "Preparing for a wedding banquet is really tiring."

*Slap!* Grandpa Qin slapped him on the head again: "What do you mean 'tiring'? You're not allowed to say anything bad before your sister comes back, do you hear me?"

"I heard you, I heard you, Dad, you really are..." Uncle Qin didn't dare to say anything more, but he thought of an idea: "Dad, I have something to do, I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, he ran away. Grandpa Qin couldn't stop him and hurriedly called out to Xiao Jiang Erlang, "Erlang, Erlang, hurry up and follow, don't let your Uncle Qin Er cause trouble."

"Hey, Grandpa Qin, don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on Uncle Qin." Little Jiang Erlang dashed out of the house to chase after Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin went to see Master Xun and said to him, "Don't the students complain about how tiring the work is on the construction site? Let them go to the Qin and Guan families to help with the banquet and entertain the guests. They will not only have a novel experience, but they will also have a feast to eat."

Old Xun said "Oh," pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Good idea. When the poor boy comes back, I'll talk to him about it, and once we have definite news, we'll send someone to inform the Qin and Guan families."

"Okay, you must get it done, my Qin family is short-handed!" Uncle Qin the Second, that lazy fellow, said this before leaving Taifu Restaurant.

The Taifu Restaurant is now bustling with activity, having been occupied by the chefs, assistants, and cooks from the Tianbao Restaurant, who were hired by the Guan family.

When the students heard the news, they were overjoyed... The Guan family was hosting a banquet at their residence, which meant they would be able to eat several meals in a row.
Unfortunately, after Uncle Qin's suggestion, they now have to put in physical labor if they want to attend a banquet.

After having lunch at the Guan family's house, Qiong returned to the restaurant. Upon hearing Xun's suggestion, he immediately agreed: "That's right, let's go and tell the students the good news. They will be very happy."

The students were indeed very happy, and a burst of excited shouts rang out from the construction site of the herbal medicine processing workshop.

"Sir, Grandmaster, we are willing to go to the Qin family to help with the banquet. We will definitely treat the guests well!"

"I didn't expect that rogue Qin... no, Uncle Qin the Second actually did something good for us. He's not so bad after all." Old Xun and Old Qiong exchanged a glance... Ha, they still lack experience.

"Master, Grandmaster, when are we going to help the Qin and Guan families? Right now?" Si Pei asked anxiously, he really couldn't stand this lousy construction site anymore!

Not to mention him, even the servants who served him had never done such hard and tiring work!
Si Pei really felt like he had stumbled into a black market mine.

Old Xun said, “Kids, don’t be in a hurry. The Qin and Guan families’ banquet is on the 26th. You can work on the construction site for another day tomorrow, and then go to the Qin and Guan families in batches on the 25th to help with the banquet.”

In the Great Wei Dynasty, whether it was a wedding or a daughter's wedding, the banquet was only held on the actual day, and there was no custom of inviting some relatives and friends the day before.

He then tried to mislead them, saying, "You should know that although the work on the construction site is tiring, it is extremely good for training people. You should cherish every moment you work on the construction site."

Students: “…”

They have absolutely no desire to cherish it.

But what my master said was also very true.

There was no other way but to bow and express gratitude: "Grandmaster's words of wisdom are invaluable, and this junior has learned a great deal!"

"Hmm, they're all good kids," Old Xun said dismissively, offering a perfunctory compliment.

On the 23rd, the students' mental state fluctuated greatly... They felt listless at the thought of having to work another day, but burst into laughter at the thought that they could go to a banquet after just one more day of work.

The artisans: "..."

Help! Have these students gone mad from all this? What if they suddenly start throwing bricks and stones at us? I'm scared.

Master craftsmen Gong and Liu, avoiding the students, comforted the craftsmen: "Everyone, just bear with it for one more day. They won't come to the construction site to bother us the day after tomorrow or the day after that. Besides, when Master Qin's daughter gets married, they will send us a banquet. Just bear with it a little longer."

The craftsmen were delighted to hear this.

But when they turned around, they saw that the students had made mistakes again, and they had to clean up the mess, so they frowned again.

In short, the atmosphere at the construction site today was very strange. One moment everyone was happy, and the next they wanted to strangle each other.

Commander Zhong and his soldiers: "..."

Terrible!

……

Finally, August 25th arrived, and the students were overjoyed. They got up early in the morning and gathered in the lobby of Taifu Restaurant.

Old Master Xun assigned them tasks: "Those who want to help the Qin family, stand on the left; those who want to help the Guan family, stand on the right."

"I, Si Pei, will go help the Guan family!" Si Pei said first. He had no desire to go to the rogue Qin family, and judging from the ingredients sent to Taifu Restaurant, the Guan family's wedding banquet was quite good.

Si Feng: "I, Si Feng, also choose the Guan family."

Xue Mingyi, Li Zhiyuan, Qu Da, and Jia Xiang naturally chose the Qin family.

Kang Lang chose the Guan family... His mother and sister were both in the Guan family. If he went to help the Guan family, he could see his mother and fulfill his filial duty.

Soon, the 230 students were divided into two groups, one group of 115, led by Ying Zilin to the Qin family.

Zhou Rong led another group of students to help the Guan family.

The procession was so grand that it surprised the villagers once again.

The news surprised the guests who were supposed to attend the wedding.
