Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 65 Marriage
Marriage is a major life event, especially for Shen Wenxing, who is the eldest son in his family and is now an official in the county government's Shengxian Pavilion.

Not only the villagers of Jinliu Village, but also the landlords and gentry from neighboring villages rushed over after hearing the news.

Shen Yuan had planned everything meticulously, but he hadn't anticipated so many guests arriving, to the point that the prepared food was simply not enough.

At this moment, Yang Changlin, the village head of Jinliu Village, stepped forward.

"Fellow villagers, today is a joyous day for Shi Tou, and we have many distinguished guests who have come from afar."

"We're all from the same village, so let's not sit at this table yet; let's give it to our distinguished guests."

"How about we have Ah Yuan host a few more tables later and treat everyone to a good drink?"

Yang Changlin was highly respected in the village. Upon hearing his call, the villagers of Jinliu Village showed little displeasure and readily responded to his call, giving up their seats to other guests.

Shen Yuan was deeply moved upon seeing this.

"Uncle Yang, thank you."

"Fellow villagers, tomorrow! I will host another feast tomorrow, and I hope you will all have a good meal!"

"Please forgive us for the lack of preparation today."

Upon hearing his words, many villagers laughed and joked, some returned to the village, and a few chose to stay and help.

The lively wedding lasted all day, and most of the guests gradually left in the evening.

With the help of Zhao Shuan and his wife, as well as Zhao Jinhu and others, Shen Yuan cleaned up the mess in his house. The sun had already set.

"Brother Shuan, these are all leftovers on the table. They're still fairly clean. Would you like to take some back with you?"

They were all ordinary people, and it wasn't shameful for them to pick out some clean dishes from the banquet and take them home to eat.

Zhao Shuan readily accepted and said with a smile, "These are the best dishes we usually can't afford to eat. I'll have your sister-in-law cook them for us, and we can have several meals with them."

"Ah Yuan, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

Shen Yuan looked around and nodded, saying, "Everything's fine now. Yu Fen and I will clean up the rest."

The couple saw Zhao Shuan and his family of three to the door and watched them leave before returning to their own yard.

At this moment, Shen Wenxing and Huang Lingxiu were cleaning the oil stains in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Hu Yufen quickly went to Huang Lingxiu, snatched the broom from her hand, and said:

"What kind of new bride starts working on her wedding day?"

Huang Lingxiu laughed and snatched the broom back, saying, "Mom, we don't need to be so particular."

"Shi Tou said you're not in good health, so I'll have to help with more things around the house in the future."

Hearing this, Hu Yufen was very happy, but she still looked at her son and scolded him: "You should know how to cherish your own wife. Your father was not like you back then."

Shen Wenxing diligently cleaned the oil stains on the ground and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely not mistreat Lingxiu."

When the moon reached its zenith, the family finally finished their busy work.

At dinner, Shen Yuan looked at his children and the newlywed Huang Lingxiu sitting at the table and spoke.

"Now that Shi Tou is married, there are some rules I need to tell you."

Upon hearing this, the people at the table all sat up straight and looked at him.

"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother."

"You three remember this: from now on, you must be polite and respectful to your elder brother and sister-in-law. If your father finds out that any of you dare to disobey or anger your sister-in-law, I'll break your legs!"

Upon hearing this, the three siblings all shrank back.

"Father, no way!"

Shen Wenping said with a smile.

"Father, please don't say that." Moved, Huang Lingxiu quickly said, "This family still needs you and Mother to manage it. From now on, you and Mother should treat your daughter-in-law like your own daughter. If your daughter-in-law does anything wrong, please feel free to tell me."

Shen Yuan nodded with a smile.

Hu Yufen, who was standing to the side, also took Huang Lingxiu's hand and said, "Your father is right. In the future, you will have to keep an eye on Anu and the others at home. If they are disobedient, you may discipline them."

"Alright, let's eat first, the food's getting cold."

After a happy meal, the family washed up and went to bed.

The couple nestled together on the bed.

Shen Yuan was somewhat bewildered.

I lived for thirty years in my previous life, and I was a single dog.

In this life, before I even turned forty, my son was already married and about to become a grandfather. It feels like a dream.

"You said last time that Wen'an passed the test of the Ascension Pavilion, is he going to the royal city soon?" Hu Yufen shifted her body and looked up to ask.

Shen Yuan gently stroked her smooth shoulder and nodded slightly. Noticing his wife's expression, he smiled faintly and said, "Are you worried?"

"Sigh!" Hu Yufen sighed, "Wen'an, that child, has absolutely no idea how to get along with people. If he were to follow the immortal to the Immortal Sect..."

Shen Yuan comforted him, "He went to the Immortal Sect to learn immortal techniques, not to learn how to conduct himself in society."

"Besides, the immortal probably prefers Wen'an's practical and hardworking character, so don't worry too much."

Hu Yufen nodded.

This is the only good thing about my youngest son.

Hopefully, nothing will go wrong once we reach the Immortal Sect.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that Shen Yuan's hands were becoming a little restless. She immediately glared at him and leaned forward.

After their lovemaking, Hu Yufen felt completely limp. After catching her breath, a hint of apology flashed in her eyes.

She discovered that after her husband became a martial artist, his body grew stronger and stronger, and she could no longer satisfy him.

"My lord, why don't you take another concubine?"

"I'm afraid I'll be alone..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Shen Yuan said, smoothing her messy hair. "Shi Tou is already married. If I, as his father, take a concubine, won't people say I'm shameless?"

Hu Yufen didn't speak, her cheek pressed quietly against his chest.

"Have you been practicing any techniques for strengthening your body lately?" Shen Yuan asked.

He also sensed that his wife's health had declined, possibly due to the strain of having given birth to four children.

Hu Yufen shook her head slightly.

There have been too many things going on at home lately, and she doesn't want all the burdens to fall on her husband alone.

There was simply no time to practice breathing techniques.

"Shi Tou is now married and has a job at the Ascension Pavilion. There are no major expenses at home. You should focus on your cultivation in the future and stop taking on embroidery work."

Hu Yufen wanted to retort, but Shen Yuan interrupted her directly, saying, "Can you bear to leave me, a lonely old man, to live alone a hundred years from now?"

Sensing the love in her man's words, a smile appeared on her face.

The next morning.

Hu Yufen got up early, cooked rice, and then practiced breathing techniques with her youngest son, Shen Wen'an, in the courtyard.

When Shen Yuan got up and saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face. Then, as if he had thought of something, he went back into the room and took out the porcelain bottle containing the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

After hesitating for a moment, he poured out a Qi-Nourishing Pill from the porcelain bottle and went into the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, Hu Yufen slowly opened her eyes.

"Open your mouth." Shen Yuan stood in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Hu Yufen asked suspiciously, but she still obediently opened her mouth.

A pill was tossed into her mouth.

The sweet fragrance wafted over, and Hu Yufen instinctively swallowed the pill.

"What did my husband give me to eat?"

"Good stuff. Don't talk, start cultivating now."

Shen Yuan spoke with a smile.

Before Hu Yufen could ask any more questions, she suddenly felt a force spreading in her abdomen and instantly surging to her limbs and bones.

She immediately focused her mind and began to try to control these powers according to the requirements of the breathing technique.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Rationally speaking, this Qi-Nourishing Pill would be more valuable to the eldest son, the youngest son, or even to himself than to his wife.

But with his relationship with his wife spanning over ten years, he couldn't do something so rational.

Furthermore, my youngest son is about to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and I will have another chance to obtain the Qi Nourishing Pill in the future.

The future of the family is important, but in his heart, a complete family is even more important.
