(Jiang Wan-yi heard Jiang Wan-xian say this, and with a smile as bright as flowers, said: "Your brother-in-law knows that I have a deep relationship with Sanmei, so he specially allowed me to return home on this grand day to spend more time with her.") Jiang Wan-mei lowered her eyes, hiding the mocking intention in them, allowing these two sisters to mutually flatter each other. The people in the room were very tactful and added some words about the deep sisterly love. When Jiang Wan-ya and Jiang Wan-qing entered the room hand in hand, it was exactly when they were talking about the deepest sisterly love inside the room.

  After entering the house, Jiang Wanqing saw the lively scene in the room and smiled, saying: "I just told Fourth Sister on the way here that Eldest Sister has always been good to us, and Second Sister is close to her, so they must be the first two sisters to arrive. Hehe, look at me being right again! Eldest Sister and Second Sister are dressed up today, it's really auspicious!" Jiang Wanyan followed with a smile, saying: "I rushed Fifth Sister all the way here to share in Third Sister's good fortune, but she kept saying there was no hurry. It turns out that Eldest Sister and Second Sister were already here."

  Jiang Wan's usual simple hairstyle, adorned with only a thin wooden hairpin and a single wooden comb, was now weighed down by numerous additional adornments. The heat of the day made her feel like she was being crushed under a mountain. In the crowded room, many people were vying to speak in front of Jiang Wan, their voices rising above one another. All she could do was clench her fists tightly within the long sleeves of her wedding dress and endure. Just then, the matchmaker's voice rang out once more: "The newlyweds are entering for the 'as-you-wish' banquet." Normally, Jiang Wan would have been fascinated by these customs, but with sweat dripping down her flushed face, she couldn't help but wish that time would pass quickly, and all the proceedings would soon be over.

  The table in front of Jiang Wanmu had a bowl of tangyuan, with six tangyuan floating inside. Xiao Jiang's family opened their mouths and smiled: "Big sister, second sister, fourth sister, fifth sister. The madam has already prepared breakfast for you. Go and keep the madam company." One by one, the people in the room dispersed, leaving only the made-up woman and two matrons. As she saw off the Jiang family's misses at the gate, she heard her laughing outside the door saying: "Thank you, thank you."

  Miss, my parents and Uncle Mugen's wife will be leaving with the dowry box soon. Brother and Brother Mugen will wait in the front yard for Master's instructions." Jiang Wanru nodded, she reached out to wipe the sweat from her face, causing the makeup woman standing beside her to clench the handkerchief tightly.

  Jiang Wan's eyebrows and eyes lowered as she glanced at the back, instructing Ji Yan to say: "The two ladies have worked hard, help me express my intentions." Ji Yan took out two large golden beans from her sleeve, smiled and stuffed them into the hands of the two women. In a soft voice, she said: "My young lady wants to trouble you both. This is the young lady's intention." The two women stretched out their hands to receive it, lightly brushing it with their hands before quickly putting it in their bosom. Both pairs of eyes had joyful intentions, they had long heard about the third miss of the Jiang family and originally thought that they could only receive rewards from Madam Jiang. They did not expect to have an unexpected surprise.

  The makeup lady saw Jiang Wanru wiping her mouth clean, eating the tangyuan in small bites. Jiang Wanru was about to drink the soup when the matchmaker stopped her and said, "Miss, leave the soup." Jiang Wanru put down the bowl and looked up at her saying, "I don't understand many things, I'll have to trouble you, auntie, to point out a thing or two when something happens." The matchmaker heard Jiang Wanru's words and shook her head saying, "A small woman like me doesn't dare be called 'auntie' by the miss. My husband's surname is Yang, just call me Mrs. Yang."

  Jiang Wanru heard her say this, and naturally called out to her: "Yang's wife, is there anything else today that I need to pay extra attention to?" The matchmaker saw Jiang Wanru's inquiring gaze and thought of the young ladies from the Jiang family who had come to make trouble. They had chatted enthusiastically, but no one had taken the initiative to talk to the person involved. She smiled and said: "Actually, there's nothing that needs special attention. It's just when crossing the threshold of the husband's house, Miss must remember to step over it. Try not to touch the edge of the threshold."

  Chu Yang had also mentioned this to Jiang Wanru that day, and now hearing Xi Niang bring it up, she nodded slightly to indicate that she knew. Standing on the side, Ji Yan couldn't help but ask Xi Niang in a low voice: "Aunt Yang, is there some rule about this? What if her foot touches the threshold?" Xi Niang heard her words and smiled, saying: "If it touches, then it touches. Even if the husband's family isn't too pleased, as long as the newlyweds behave well afterwards, they can still get along. It's just that for the sake of happiness, Miss should still lift her legs high."

  The woman with the makeup then stepped forward, untied the bundle in her hand, and placed it on the table. She took out several boxes from inside, opened them one by one, and said to Jiang Wanru: "It's hot, Miss should touch up your makeup." Jiang Wanru turned around, closed her eyes, and let the woman apply makeup on her face. There were not many people in the room, watching the two women with smiling faces. Jixian looked at Jiang Wanru's bright red face and smiled, saying: "Auntie, can you put less red color on Miss's face? I see that except for the red color, Miss's original skin tone is invisible."

  The makeup artist's hands moved non-stop as she said, "This won't do, the bride must be bright red, the redder the better, it's more auspicious that way, and later on, everything will go smoothly." Ji Yan heard this and chimed in from the side, "Then please trouble Auntie to help Miss get an even redder face." The matchmaker heard this and burst out laughing, saying, "This sister must be the lively one by Third Miss's side, her words and actions are quite delightful."

  After the makeup lady let go of her hands, Jiang Wanru was about to open her eyes when the matchmaker said in a soft voice: "Third Miss, it's still early, you close your eyes and rest for a while. Later, when the people making noise come again, you need to thank your parents for their upbringing and listen to their teachings." Jiang Wanru closed her eyes, and under the guidance of the two women, the three of them stood in the courtyard, chatting softly.

  Jiang Wanmu closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually calmed down. Memories of her past life floated up, and she dreamed of her father welcoming a new person. She hid to the side, watching as her father held that woman's hand, and tears fell from her eyes. In an instant, she saw her mother in a red dress, smiling and holding her hand, saying: "Little lazy one, from today on, there is one more elder in this world who will protect you." Good words quietly came in through the open door, walking up to Jiang Wanmu's side as she leaned against the table, seeing that her face was full of tears, and hastily reached out to shake her.

  Jiang Wanru opened her eyes and looked at Jiyuan's frightened expression. Her face was wet with a patch of red, and she hastily wiped it off with her hand. She quickly turned behind the screen to wash her hands, and when she returned, the matchmaker and the makeup artist were in the room. The two women carefully observed her expression, exchanging glances. The makeup artist opened her package, indicating that Jiang Wanru should touch up her makeup. Before closing her eyes, Jiang Wanru said softly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure." The makeup artist smiled and said, "It's normal for a daughter to be reluctant to leave her family. Don't worry, I'll just do some minor touch-ups."

  The makeup artist quickly applied makeup to Jiang Wanru's face, and when she finished, there were children's shouting voices outside the courtyard. A chubby boy directly passed through the gate and rushed into Jiang Wanru's room. He looked at Jiang Wanru with a red face, frowned and said: "Third Aunt, why is your face so red, it doesn't look good at all." At this time, a beautiful woman walked to the door and smiled when she heard the words: "Congratulations, Third Sister!" She turned her head and said to the boy in the room: "Come out quickly, I'll have someone take you to play in the front."

  At this moment, a woman came forward and entered the room with a smile, pulling the boy and saying: "Young master, I'll take you to the front yard to see the excitement." The boy turned his eyes to Jiang Yuemei, saw her bright eyes, and said loudly: "Third Aunt, I think you're not stupid." Outside the house, there were still people rushing to join in the excitement, everyone heard this at the same time, and for a moment they all waited quietly for Jiang Yuemei's response.

  The woman who had been standing outside the door quickly walked in, gently stroked the boy's head and said to Jiang Wanru: "Third sister, the child is young and doesn't understand things, I'll take him away." She reached out and took his hand, and the boy followed her out of the room with a smile. After they left, the sisters of the Jiang family rushed in, carefully examining Jiang Wanru, seeing that she was sitting at the table with her eyes downcast and her posture elegant. The women burst into laughter, and Jiang Wanjing smiled and said: "Bao Ge is like his sister-in-law, kind-hearted, and always praises people when he sees them."

  The room was once again bustling like a vegetable market, and Jiang Wanru had not looked up at the people in the room again. Until the matchmaker came in, smiling and saying: "The auspicious time has arrived, Miss is going to thank her parents for raising her." Ji Yan came over to support Jiang Wanru, and the people in the room made way for them. The group headed towards the main hall of the mansion. Along the way, every few steps, the matchmaker would say a string of auspicious words. Jiang Wanru listened to her without repeating any words, admiring her greatly, feeling that being a matchmaker was not an ordinary person's job.

  The matchmaker led Jiang Wanru to the main hall, where Jiang An and his wife were seated in their formal attire. The matchmaker signaled for Jiang Wanru to stop, released her hand, and stepped aside. In a loud voice, she said: "Congratulations to the elderly couple, having a daughter is like having a flower, and now you have a good son-in-law. Filial daughter thanks her father for raising her with great kindness." Immediately, someone handed Jiang Wanru a cup of tea. Everyone in the hall was watching her every move, seeing her slightly raise the cup, perform the standard courtesy, and say: "Thanking my father's kindness, please drink this full cup, wishing Father all the best."

  Jiang Anhe took the tea from her hand and glanced at Jiang Wanyu standing in the hall, taking a light sip of the tea in his cup. "In the future, you must be more steady in your actions." Jiang Wanyu again raised his cup to toast Jiang Dafuren, saying: "Thank you for your motherly kindness, please drink this cup to the full and wish that Mother will always have peace of mind." Jiang Dafuren took the tea handed over by Xiao Jiang's family, smiling as she began to speak: "After entering the husband's household, one cannot continue to act arbitrarily; everything must be done according to the instructions of one's elders, and all matters must be arranged by one's husband."

  Madam Jiang put down her cup and stood up, saying: "Today is the day of our family's daughter's wedding, please let us all celebrate together." Ji Yan quickly went forward to Jiang Wan's side. The drumming sound outside started, and a man outside shouted loudly: "The King's palace has sent someone to escort the bride, congratulations to the newlyweds on their happy occasion!" The matchmaker then came over with a red veil, shouting loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, let us put the red veil on the young lady, wishing her all the best and smooth sailing in everything." The bright red veil covered down, and Jiang Wan's ears were filled with the sound of cheering, inside the veil was a sea of red.
