Chapter 245: Feasting Guests

On the mountain road of Ziyun Sect, Jiang Qing sat upright on a majestic white horse. The horse carried him and galloped towards the main hall of the sect with the sound of "clattering hooves".

Behind him were good friends including Shen Chengxian, Luo Hua, Luo Shui, Yaoguang, and his confidant Baili Ye, who formed a grand wedding welcoming team.

The sect's disciples lined up on both sides of the road to maintain order, while the onlookers and elders were separated on both sides.

They cheered with blessings such as "Happy Jiang Qing" and "Live together till old age" and the atmosphere was warm and festive.

In their eyes, Jiang Qing marrying Qin Xiaosui was a match made in heaven, and it foreshadowed the prosperity of the sect.

"Jiang Qing is going to marry Senior Sister Qin. Alas, it seems my little sister has no chance." A young disciple who was watching sighed softly.

"With your little sister's level of cultivation, she can't even be compared to Fairy Qin." Someone nearby joked, "My niece is extremely talented and beautiful, but it's a pity that Senior Brother Jiang Qing is too picky and doesn't like mortal women."

"That's easy. You can let your niece participate in the sect competition and win first place. Then Senior Brother Jiang Qing will notice her, right?" someone suggested.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? With such strength, why should I worry?" The disciples around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

After entering the sect's main hall area, Jiang Qing and the wedding party began to strictly follow traditional etiquette.

First, they arrived at the main hall under the guidance of the ceremonial officer. Jiang Qing changed into a solemn dress and then presented wild geese, coins and silk, etc., which symbolized loyalty and auspiciousness.

This is called the "Wild Goose Ceremony". The geese are loyal and faithful, representing the couple's lifelong commitment.

After the Goose Ceremony, Jiang Qing and the wedding party took their seats, took a short rest, and waited for the auspicious time to arrive.

From early morning until the sun rose to noon, the ceremonial officer finally announced: "Brother Jiang Qing, the time has come."

Jiang Qing was delighted that he could finally marry his bride. He immediately followed the ceremonial officer to Qin Xiaosui's residence, where Qin Xiaosui's guard of honor had already gathered.

Qin Xiaosui was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

With the help of her female disciple, she slowly walked out of the residence. Their eyes met, and thousands of words were unspoken.

Without saying a word, Qin Xiaosui looked at Jiang Qing affectionately, then lowered her head and entered the gorgeously decorated wedding car.

The wedding car is mainly red in color, and the carriage is decorated with various auspicious patterns and silks, which is gorgeous yet solemn.

There is an incense burner in the car, which emits a faint fragrance that is refreshing.

Jiang Qing secretly rejoiced that the wedding process went much smoother than he had imagined and he did not encounter any difficulties.

He led the guard of honor and the wedding procession, left the sect in a grand manner, and embarked on the return journey.

Instead of going to Jiang Qing's mansion, they went directly back to Jiang Qing's family residence.

After discussing with the family elders, Jiang Qing decided to buy the houses around the family and expand them into a magnificent mansion for the whole family to live together.

After returning to the family home and going through a series of cumbersome ceremonies, Jiang Qing finally brought Qin Xiaosui into the house and went straight to the inner hall.

The inner hall was filled with family members watching the ceremony. There were no outside guests, only the closest family members.

Witnessed by the family elders, Jiang Qing and Qin Xiaosui completed the wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony, the two were led by the palace maid into the back hall to prepare for the final bridal chamber ceremony.

At this time, Baili Ye stood quietly in the clouds, watching Jiang Qing's wedding, his eyes full of relief and joy, as if an elder was watching a child.

At this joyous moment, he silently blessed the newlyweds, wishing them happiness and a long life together.

"It's time for me to go down too. It's really not easy to hide this from the Imperial Master..."

……

In an elegant courtyard of Ziyun Sect, the wedding room of Jiang Qing and Qin Xiaosui was brightly lit and filled with joy.

Qin Xiaosui snuggled gently in Jiang Qing's arms, playing with a piece of delicate osmanthus candy in her hand. She chewed it slowly, savoring the sweetness.

However, despite the sweetness, Qin Xiaosui's brows revealed a trace of worry: "Will the elders in the sect think that I am not qualified to be your wife?
Although I acted confident in front of my master, I was actually very nervous inside. ”

Jiang Qing stroked her hair and comforted her softly, "If any elder dares to question you, I will use my sword to prove that they are wrong."

After hearing Jiang Qing's words, Qin Xiaosui's uneasiness immediately dissipated a lot.

She said softly:

"Please help me take off this phoenix crown. I've worn it for a long time and my neck feels a little stiff."

Jiang Qing carefully took the Phoenix Coronet off Qin Xiaosui's head, stroked her cheek with his fingers, and said with a smile:
"This wedding dress is so layered, why not take it off first to avoid messing it up in a hurry later? Besides, we have more important things to do on our wedding night, don't we?"

Qin Xiaosui blushed and shook her head shyly: "Don't be like that, it's still early."

The two of them played around for a while, and Jiang Qing glanced at the sky outside the window and sighed softly: "I have to go out and check on the guests."

There will definitely be all kinds of social engagements at today's wedding banquet, but Jiang Qing is mentally prepared and believes that he can handle them properly.

Qin Xiaosui nodded. She knew that Jiang Qing needed to go take care of things outside, so she said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

Jiang Qing stood up and was about to walk out the door, but turned back and looked at Qin Xiaosui affectionately:
"No matter what happens outside, I will definitely come back at midnight."

Qin Xiaosui responded with a gentle smile and watched Jiang Qing leave.

She knew that no matter how many ups and downs there would be in the future, as long as Jiang Qing was by her side, she would have the strongest support.

……

On the welcoming avenue of Ziyun Sect, Jiang Qing was wearing a red robe with gold embroidery and a jade crown on his head, looking handsome and elegant.

He stood at the entrance of the sect, with his eldest brother Li Changsheng and a group of fellow disciples behind him.

Together they welcomed the guests who came to the wedding banquet.

The sun gradually sets, its afterglow shines on the welcoming avenue, and the first group of guests slowly arrives.

There were also many visitors who had many interactions with Jiang Qing.

"Jiang Qing, congratulations on your big day." A monk with long flowing beard stepped forward with a smile on his face.

Jiang Qing walked over quickly and said, "Thank you all for coming. It's a great honor for Jiang Qing."

After a brief exchange, the guests were led inside. Jiang Qing continued to stand at the door, greeting the arriving guests with a smile.

Soon, Uncle Master Yan Yuanzi from Lingbao Palace and the seven peak masters came together. Although Yan Yuanzi was only the Palace Master of Lingbao Palace and his cultivation was at the Nascent Soul stage, his status was not low.

He single-handedly controlled the classification of cultivation resources and the distribution of spiritual treasures of the entire Ziyun Sect.

This weight is not much less than that of the general peak main business.

Their appearance surprised Jiang Qing and made him feel extremely honored.

"Uncle Master, Seventh Master, Jiang Qing feels really honored that you are here." Jiang Qing bowed deeply to express his respect.

Yan Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, "Jiang Qing, you are the pride of our sect. How can I not come to see you today, it's a great day."

Wang Tiesheng also nodded, with a kind face: "Yes, I am also very pleased to see you get married and start a family."

Jiang Qing was grateful and was about to say something else when he saw Qin Xiaosui's brother Qin Zhan striding towards him.

Qin Zhan is tall and strong, with an imposing presence, and his face is filled with sincere blessings.

"Jiang Qing, I leave Xiaosui to you. You must treat her well." Qin Zhan patted Jiang Qing's shoulder in a loud voice.

Jiang Qing nodded and said seriously: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will cherish Xiaosui for the rest of my life."

As the guests continued to arrive, Jiang Qing greeted them one by one, talked with them, and thanked them for coming. He saw Master Qingsu standing in the crowd, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Jiang Qing walked up to Qing Su and bowed deeply: "Master, thank you for your teachings over the years. Today, I have finally established a family and a career."

Qing Su looked at him tenderly: "Jiang Qing, you are my proudest disciple. I wish you and Xiao Sui a long and happy life together."

As guests arrived one after another, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.

Jiang Qing and Li Changsheng stood at the door together, welcoming every guest, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation.

Finally, when the last group of guests arrived, Jiang Qing saw his good friends Yaoguang and Xu Beichuan. They were smiling and holding exquisite gift boxes in their hands.

"Jiang Qing, congratulations. This is a little gift from us." Yaoguang said with a smile.

Xu Beichuan also nodded: "Yes, I wish you and Senior Sister Qin Xiaosui a happy marriage."

Jiang Qing took the gift box gratefully and said with a smile, "Thank you both, please come in."

After welcoming the last batch of guests, Jiang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked back at Li Changsheng and saw that the eldest brother also had a tired look on his face.

"Big Brother, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Qing said with a smile.

Li Changsheng patted his shoulder and said, "Today is your big day. It's nothing to worry about. Go and prepare to welcome the bride."

Jiang Qing nodded, feeling a warm current surge in his heart.

He knew that with the company and blessings of these relatives and friends, his wedding with Qin Xiaosui would be a complete success.

As night fell, guests arrived one after another. When the lights came on, Jiang Qing stood in front of the mansion, waiting for the arrival of important guests.

Finally, he saw a gorgeous carriage slowly approaching, driven by a man with extraordinary temperament. He was Jiang Qing's cheap apprentice, Xu Beichuan.

On both sides of the carriage were the accompanying Northern cavalry, riding tall horses and looking majestic.

Jiang Qing took a deep breath and stepped forward to greet him.

Seeing this, Xu Beichuan smiled slightly and stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

"Brother Jiang, we are here." Xu Beichuan said softly.

Jiang Qing nodded, but felt a little uneasy.

He knew that there would be some uninvited guests at tonight's banquet.

Sure enough, when the carriage door opened, a familiar face came into view.

That is the head of the Xu family, Xu Beitian.

Sitting next to him was a pretty figure, it was his granddaughter, Xu Xingguang.

Xu Beitian was wearing a blue shirt and had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a barely perceptible sharpness.

"Jiang Qing, you should welcome me to your banquet tonight, right?" Xu Beitian said lightly.

Jiang Qing's heart tightened, he knew that the head of the Xu family must have an ulterior motive for this visit.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from behind the carriage.

Jiang Qing looked back and saw a more gorgeous carriage slowly approaching, surrounded by a group of guards in gorgeous costumes.

Jiang Qing was shocked, he recognized those guards, they were the royal guards!
The carriage stopped and a man in a dragon robe walked out. He was the current imperial teacher.

Jiang Qing's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to salute: "Master, why are you here?"

The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Jiang Qing, I heard that you were hosting a big banquet tonight, so I came here to join in the fun."

Jiang Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that tonight's banquet was destined not to be peaceful.

At this moment, Xu Beitian got off the carriage, patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder, and whispered, "Boy, tonight, I want to sit next to the national teacher."

Jiang Qing was stunned, and then asked: "Master Xu, why is this?"

Xu Beitian smiled slightly and whispered two words: "Watch the show."

Jiang Qing's heart sank.

As the guests arrived one after another, Jiang Qing became busy, welcoming each distinguished guest.

As night fell and three rounds of drinks had passed, Jiang Qing stood in the courtyard of the mansion, watching the guests gradually disperse. Only a few with whom he had close friendship remained.

Of course, he also knew the custom of making trouble in the bridal chamber, which was not only to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, but also to bring the newlyweds closer to their families.

In this era, many newlyweds may only be acquaintances of each other or have never met each other before their wedding.

Therefore, bridal chamber pranks have become a tradition, a way for newlyweds to eliminate strangeness and enhance their understanding amidst laughter and joy.

Jiang Qing knew in his heart that tonight, his good friends Baili Ye and Yao Guang might take the opportunity to tease him, and his fellow apprentices might also take the opportunity to make things difficult for his bride Qin Xiaosui.

"What a bad habit!" Jiang Qing complained in his heart.

In fact, what he feared the most were people like Yaoguang and Xu Xingguang. They seemed to have some ideas about him before, and he could see that to some extent.

As a result, he got married right after he came back.

But Jiang Qing was not worried, he was well prepared.

He decided to ask his uncle, Yan Yuanzi from Lingbao Hall, to calm the situation.

"Tonight, let Uncle-Master Yan Yuanzi come forward. No matter what happens, just say that it was Uncle-Master Yan who taught us." Jiang Qing thought to himself.

He believed that with Yan Yuanzi taking the blame, those villains would not be able to do anything to him.

"After tonight, I have to ask my senior brother Li Changsheng to protect Uncle Yan Yuanzi and list him as a first-level protected person in our sect." Jiang Qing touched his chin and had a plan in mind.

At this moment, his uncle Yan Yuanzi came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Jiang Qing, you have to be careful in the bridal chamber tonight.

Those people are not easy to deal with, don't let them go too far."

Jiang Qing nodded, he knew that his uncle was doing this for his own good.

"Uncle-master, you can't leave tonight. With you here, those people will be more restrained." Jiang Qing said seriously.

“Oh?” Yan Yuanzi was stunned. He didn’t expect that he still had such prestige in the sect. He said, “Don’t worry, your seventh master and I will be here tonight.

But you have to be careful, these little kids are not good people."

Jiang Qing nodded. He knew that the bridal chamber tonight was destined to be not peaceful.

But he was ready to protect his bride no matter what happened.

As the night deepened, the servants in the mansion began to clean up the aftermath of the wedding banquet.

The servants were busy cleaning up the dishes and pouring the food waste into wooden barrels, preparing to send them down the mountain. You know, it is not easy for ordinary people to have enough food.

The night breeze blew gently, Jiang Qing took a deep breath, and walked towards the bridal chamber.
