Chapter 262 Marrying a Daughter
On September 20th, Wang Bin also left Chongshan Town and went to Beiyuan Town to take up his post.
Before he left, he made a special trip to Anyuan City and had a drink with Yang Zhengshan. Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu also came with him.
From now on, Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu will follow him to venture into Beiyuan Town.
Faced with Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu, Yang Zhengshan had no choice but to persuade them patiently.
When they left, Yang Zhengshan gave each of them ten jars of medicinal wine.
Although the medicinal wine he brewed didn't taste very good, its efficacy was no worse than those precious medicines.
The combination of spiritual spring water and the body-strengthening formula can obviously improve physical fitness and potential.
As the wedding day got closer, the Yang family became busier and busier. Ten days seemed like a long time, and in the blink of an eye it was the night before the wedding.
The Yang family's yard was filled with prepared dowries, all covered with red silk. Red lanterns were also hung inside and outside the yard, making it look particularly festive.
However, there was a hint of sadness in the joy of everyone in the main hall. This meal was the last dinner Yunxue had at home.
Yunxue is different from Yunyan. Although Yunyan married a long time ago, she did not live too far away from the Yang family. She used to live in Jiangjia Village, which was only a few miles away from Yangjia Village. She could go back to her parents' home at any time. Later, when Yang Zhengshan came to Chongshan Town, he took her family over, and the family was always together.
But after Yunxue gets married, she will go to Kyoto, thousands of miles away from home, and it will probably be several years before they meet again.
Inside the main room, everyone sat together in silence, and Yang Zhengshan was also feeling a little sad.
Although Yunxue was only his adopted daughter, she was also the daughter he had raised for several years, and he was really reluctant to let her go.
"Come, eat more!" Yang Zhengshan looked at the pretty little girl and his tone became softer.
The old father's heart is very complicated.
She is happy that her daughter has grown up, but also reluctant to let her get married. She is also worried that she will be bullied after she gets married.
"Dad, let me pour you some wine!"
Yang Yunxue has always been well-behaved and sensible, and has never caused any trouble. Even when the Yang family suddenly rose to prominence, Yang Yunxue still maintained her simple character, and behaved gracefully, kindly and amiably both at home and outside.
"Mother, let me pour you some wine too!" Yang Yunxue came to Yu Qingyi and poured her a bowl of wine.
Yu Qingyi smiled and said, "If anyone bullies you in the future, tell mother and she will take care of it for you! You know, mother is very powerful!"
"Yeah!" Yang Yunxue smiled.
"Haha, besides mother, I also have brothers like us! You will also be supported by us!" Yang Mingzhi laughed when he saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
"Then I'll pour some wine for you brothers too!" Yang Yunxue ran to pour wine for the three brothers.
"Aunt, I will also support you!" Yang Chengxian suddenly said, but his eyes were always fixed on the wine jug in Yang Yunxue's hand, and his purpose was obviously not simple.
"Then aunt thanks Xian'er!" Yang Yunxue didn't pay attention to his eyes, but touched his little head with great satisfaction.
"Aunt, why don't you pour me some wine?" Yang Chengxian said dissatisfiedly.
Yang Yunxue paused her stroking hand and looked at the little guy with a somewhat amusing look.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yang Chengye, who was standing next to him, pulled Yang Chengxian and taught him a lesson seriously, "Aunt is an elder, how can I pour wine for you!"
Chengxian is four years old this year, and Chengye is ten years old this year. As the eldest grandson of the Yang family, Chengye has always been like a big brother at home and is quite strict in disciplining his younger brothers.
After hearing Chengye's words, Chengxian, who was usually lively, immediately stopped talking and lowered his head to eat.
When Yang Zhengshan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
What does one thing mean?
Chengxian has always been lawless. He is not afraid of him, but only of Chengye.
It can be said that Yang Mingzhi and Li were somewhat spoiled in raising their children. Yang Chengmao grew up in Yangjia Village and had a relatively calm personality. However, Yang Chengxian and Yang Wanting both grew up in Jianningwei. One was a lawless troublemaker, and the other was a sparrow that could not stop chirping.
When the two little guys get together, it's so noisy.
After the meal, everyone dispersed. She was going to get married tomorrow, so she had prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
However, Yang Zhengshan called Nanny Zhang, Xia Feng, four maids and four servants to the main courtyard.
These people are Yang Yunxue's dowry, and they will go to the Marquis' Mansion with Yang Yunxue.
Xia Feng has followed Yang Yunxue since a long time ago. She used to be just a little maid, but now she is a grown-up maid.
Nanny Zhang was a new servant bought by the Yang family after they moved to Anyuan City. All her family members were servants of the Yang family. She was always prudent in her work and was trusted by Yang Yunxue.
As for the four maids and four servants, they were also trained by the Yang family in the past few years. They were all sixteen or seventeen years old and were all warriors.
However, the one with the highest cultivation level is Xia Feng, who is now a post-natal warrior.
"Master!" Nanny Lin walked into the main room and bowed to Yang Zhengshan.
"Yeah!" Yang Zhengshan nodded.
This Nanny Lin is the one beside Yu Qingyi. She is good at cooking and has the fourth level of acquired cultivation. She has been in the martial arts world before and knows how dangerous it is.
She will also marry with Yang Yunxue.
This was discussed by Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.
The Marquis' Mansion is not like the Yang Family. As the saying goes, once you enter the Marquis' Mansion, it's like entering a deep sea. Although the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion of Changping is relatively peaceful, no one knows whether it will always be peaceful in the future. Moreover, Yang Yunxue will live in Kyoto in the future. There are many disputes in Kyoto. If something goes wrong, the result will be unpredictable.
"Tomorrow you will follow the young lady to get married!"
"I only have one request. If the young lady is wronged, you must inform me!"
"It's a bit troublesome to contact me in Kyoto, but you can go to General Zhou, or to Lord Liu, the Right Censor of the Censorate!"
"Madame Lin, Madame Zhang, I'll leave the young lady to you!"
Yang Zhengshan said.
"Don't worry, sir. We will take good care of the young lady!" said Nanny Lin.
Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.
After Yang Yunxue entered the Marquis' Mansion, these people became her greatest reliance.
As for her husband Liang Jinyan, men are sometimes really unreliable. Although Liang Jinyan seems to be a perfect husband now, who knows what will happen in the future!
As an old father, Yang Zhengshan must plan for the long-term future of his children.
……
The next morning, before dawn, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi got up.
After leaving little Mingzhao to the care of the wet nurse, the two went to the hall in the front yard to wait for the wedding procession.
The wedding procession from the Marquis's residence arrived yesterday, and they had to leave the city early this morning and return to Chongshan Pass within a day to hold the wedding ceremony at dusk, so the schedule was a bit tight. Just as the eastern sky was turning a little white, the sound of music and drums could be heard outside the Yang family's door.
"Master, Madam, we're here. The son-in-law is at the door!" Wu Hai ran to the main hall and shouted.
Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi just nodded and didn't say much.
It seemed very lively outside. Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi waited for about quarter of an hour. Liang Jinyan picked up Yun Xue and came to say goodbye to them.
Watching the two people bidding farewell in front of him, Yang Zhengshan felt a little upset.
My own daughter is getting married!
From today on, you are someone else’s daughter-in-law!
"Get up!" Yang Zhengshan calmed himself down.
"Dad!" Yang Yunxue called softly.
Yang Zhengshan stood up and adjusted the gold hairpin on her head.
He still remembered that when he first came to the Yang family, the little girl was short and thin, with a little yellow hair. In the blink of an eye, the yellow-haired girl had grown into a grown-up girl.
"Take good care of Yunxue!"
Yang Zhengshan came in front of Liang Jinyan and said in a low voice.
Liang Jinyan looked at him and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
My father-in-law is so scary!
"I won't let my wife suffer any injustice!" he said nervously.
Yang Zhengshan reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's getting late, let's get going!"
As the journey is so long, the schedule is very tight.
Afterwards, Yu Qingyi covered Yang Yunxue with a red veil, and Yang Mingcheng went out with his younger sister on his back.
In front of the Yang family's gate, a long line gradually went away amid the sounds of music. Yang Zhengshan sat in the main hall until he could no longer hear the sounds, then he let out a sigh.
Compared to the sadness at the Yang family’s wedding, at dusk, the Chongshanguanhou Mansion was an extremely lively scene.
There were loud drums and gongs, and the house was filled with guests, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Liang Chu is about to return to Beijing to take charge of the Twelve Battalions of the Imperial Guards. This is undoubtedly a further step forward and also represents the emperor's trust in him.
Before leaving, such a happy event as the Marquis' wedding naturally attracted officials of all ranks in Chongshan Town, and even many people from Kyoto came to congratulate.
Those nobles, those nobles in the Twelve Battalions of the Imperial Guards, which one of them would not come in advance to pay his respects to his future superior?
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
The lively wedding ceremony began in the Marquis' Mansion. Liang Chu felt so happy when he saw Yang Yunxue in her wedding dress.
He was extremely satisfied with Yang Yunxue. If his eldest grandson had not already married, he would even want Yang Yunxue to become the eldest daughter-in-law in the eldest house.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son is the future clan wife of the marquis's mansion. The clan wife is the patriarch and mother of the clan and is the person in charge of the clan.
In terms of background, Yang Yunxue is nothing, but Yang Yunxue has a high aptitude in martial arts.
After all, the Marquisate is passed down through martial arts, and martial arts are the foundation of the Marquisate.
If a granddaughter-in-law with outstanding talents can grow up, it will be of great help to the future of the Marquis' Mansion.
Watching the young couple being escorted to the bridal chamber, Liang Chu joyfully entertained the guests who came to congratulate them.
The bustle in the marquis's mansion lasted until late at night.
……
Three days later, the newlyweds are going back to their parents’ home.
Yang Zhengshan had been waiting in the main hall since early morning. It was strange to say, when Yang Yunxue was at home before, he didn't feel that he loved this adopted daughter very much. But in the past few days since Yunxue got married, he was always worried about her, fearing that the little girl would not eat well or sleep well in the unfamiliar marquis's mansion.
They were supposed to return home in the morning, but because the distance was far, it was already afternoon when the young couple arrived at Yang's house.
"Dad, mother!"
"The son-in-law greets his father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Yang Yunxue and Liang Jinyan kowtowed to Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.
"Get up!" Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Yunxue and saw that her face was rosy and she didn't show any grievance or resentment. He felt relieved.
"Thank you, father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Liang Jinyan said politely.
He had to behave himself. His father-in-law was a killing god on the battlefield. When facing his father-in-law, his heart was always beating fast.
"You two mother and daughter can have a chat. Jinyan, come with me!"
After Yang Zhengshan finished speaking, he took Liang Jinyan to the front yard.
After they left, Yu Qingyi pulled Yang Yunxue over and asked, "How is it? Are you adapting to the Marquis' Mansion?"
Yang Yunxue's eyebrows curved, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter is doing well in the Marquis' Mansion!"
Yu Qingyi looked at the smile between her eyebrows and asked again: "How do your parents-in-law treat you? I heard that the rules in those noble families are very strict. Does the Marquis' Mansion also have many rules?"
"Hmm!" Yang Yunxue thought for a moment, "Not really. My husband said that the Marquis doesn't like the family to be too serious, so the atmosphere in the Marquis's mansion is quite relaxed!"
"Husband!" Yu Qingyi couldn't help but smile when she saw how naturally she spoke, "It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship!"
Harmony between husband and wife is the most important thing after marriage.
"Mother!" Yang Yunxue called shyly.
Yu Qingyi secretly praised in her heart, this is different after getting married than before.
However, the little girl was shy, so Yu Qingyi did not continue teasing her. Instead, he said, "Your father has been waiting here since early in the morning, staring at the door eagerly, afraid that he would miss you!"
Yang Yunxue felt a lump in her throat and almost cried.
Although everything was fine for her in the Marquis' Mansion these days, it was still not as good as her original home.
The mother and daughter were talking in the room. Although they were not biological mother and daughter, Yu Qingyi had always been very sincere to her family, and her family had long accepted her as a mother.
