Chapter 264 The New Couple Meets the Jiang Family
There was another thing that puzzled everyone.

It has been more than half a month since General Pei returned to Xijing City. Apart from visiting the princess's residence twice with his wife, he has not even entered the imperial palace. However, no one inside or outside the palace commented on it. They were all curious about how high his rank would be after his return this time.

Unfortunately, no one has any way to establish this kind of relationship.

So, at the wedding banquet of Young Master Jiang and Miss Geng, all the people who should and shouldn't have come showed up. There was an endless stream of carriages of royal relatives, not to mention the civil and military officials.

Everyone has a keen nose for sniffing. It seems that they are here to congratulate the Jiang family, but how many of them are here for Pei Zisu, and how many are here for Princess Qinghuan? Everyone has a scale in their heart.

But putting all this aside, Jiang Shihui's marriage was indeed a good one.

Everyone congratulated them, the family was happy, and the most important thing was that both families were satisfied. Only after the guests had left did the couple return to their new courtyard - Dingfengyuan.

Once the veil is lifted and the wedding wine is drunk, the ceremony is considered complete.

In the warm light of the swaying red dragon and phoenix candles, both of them showed a different temperament. The dignified and generous face of the girl from the Geng family became more cute, while the usually peaceful and calm Jiang Shihui seemed more nervous.

Although they were already husband and wife, they had met no more than three times in total.

It was the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, but after Jiang Shihui calmed himself down, he spoke to his newlywed wife.

"Madam, your marriage is an honor for our Jiang family and also my luck. I lost my mother when I was young, so I may not be careful enough in many things. Madam, please remind me that since you and I are husband and wife, we should share the honor and disgrace. Don't get angry about other things. I am not a philandering person. Today, I am willing to swear that I will only have you in this life, and we will work together to support the family in the future."

These few words made the girl from the Geng family cry.

But there was a smile on her lips and her eyes were curved in a very friendly manner. She handed over a sachet that she had embroidered herself, and then answered.

"My husband is willing to marry me, and I am willing to share the glory and disgrace with my husband. This is the sachet of love that I embroidered. I hope my husband will not abandon it."

When Jiang Shihui took it, he saw that the lady already had another one hanging around her waist, so he took it solemnly and then nodded.

A wonderful night ends in the warm room, and lights in thousands of homes remain on until dawn.

The next day, everyone in the Jiang family gathered in the front hall, waiting for the newlyweds to serve tea.

Jiang Shiyuan and Pei Zisu also came, and of course, my aunt Jiang Huaiyi and her family were also there.

When Geng followed Jiang Shihui into the house, she was still wearing the red wedding dress, but her hair was in a woman's bun, which made her round face look a little more rosy.

As soon as she entered the room, she followed Jiang Shihui in paying her respects. She was very graceful and had a bit of shyness of a newlywed woman, which satisfied everyone present.

Sitting on the high hall was Jiang Huaishan, and next to him was the tablet of Madam Jiang, which was usually placed in the ancestral hall for offering incense, but today it was out to receive the kowtow of his son and daughter-in-law. After the kowtow and tea ceremony, Jiang Huaishan waved his hand and had all the account books, keys, and items in the family handed over to his new daughter-in-law Geng, and then gave her a serious explanation.

"Madam passed away early, and the family has always been managed by mother and my unpromising second brother and sister-in-law. Both of them have never seen much of the world, so they are muddle-headed when doing things, and always make jokes. Therefore, I am afraid that you have heard about many family affairs when you were still in the boudoir. I am not afraid of your laugh at me. There is really no mistress who can support the family. So you marry into the family to help my Jiang family out of difficulties. From now on, you and Hui'er will discuss and handle the four seasons, the harvests, and the relationships. Let me have a few days of leisure and prepare for Shu'er's marriage with your concubine Yang."

Although Geng was a little surprised when she heard this, she had listened to her mother's detailed analysis of the advantages of marrying into this family before coming here: her husband was ambitious, her in-laws were powerful, and most importantly, there was no mistress of the household, so she didn't have to be constrained by others.

I heard that the grandmother in the family was ill and could no longer take care of things. My father-in-law only had a concubine who had been with him for many years and was not a trouble-making person. So this marriage would be very comfortable.

But she was a newlywed after all, and she had thought that the Jiang family would wait at least two or three months before letting her get started. She didn't expect that on the second day of her wedding, even the family would be her and her husband's responsibility. Overwhelmed with responsibility for a moment, she spoke respectfully to Jiang Huaishan.

"My father-in-law trusts me, so I dare not refuse. My mother also taught me carefully when I was managing the family, so I won't be confused. It's just that if there are some old rules that I am not considerate of, please give me some advice. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the family will be harmonious and peaceful all year round."

What she said made a lot of sense, and Jiang Huaishan couldn't help but show a satisfied expression after hearing it.

"Okay, from now on, this family will be safe and sound."

After listening to the father-in-law's lecture, the next ones to come were the aunt's family, and then Jiang Shiyuan and his wife. They were already very satisfied with this marriage, so naturally they would not find fault with Geng.

Especially aunts Jiang Huaiyi and Jiang Shiyuan, who kept calling Geng a good niece-in-law and a good sister-in-law, which made Geng feel a little shy. She thought she was a generous person, but she didn't expect that this aunt and sister-in-law from her husband's family were even worse than that.

So I accepted a lot of expensive gifts in a daze, and of course gave a lot of them back as well.

The gifts from elders, peers, and juniors were all cleverly crafted, and when each gift was given out, everyone received it with a smile on their face.

Even for Jiang Shilin and Jiang Shiyue who were not at home, gifts were prepared, but they were asked to ask their aunt Jiang Huaiyi to send someone to deliver them to Jingzhou.

Similarly, Aunt Yang also got a few pieces of good material that did not exceed the standard. The color was simple and elegant, and the material was cool and close to the skin, making it the most comfortable to use for making summer clothes. Aunt Yang was good at needlework, so she was naturally happy to see the good material and accepted it.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiyuan was also very happy.

The new sister-in-law is thoughtful and considerate, which can be seen from the gifts she prepared. She even takes care of my younger brothers and sisters-in-law and my aunt who are not at home, which shows that she is not a two-faced person. Therefore, I feel a lot more at ease.

Although she is married, her parents' family is well-off, which is a great blessing for her.

So after going home today, I felt much better. I made an appointment with Geng that after she came back, we would go to Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion to meet Old Madam Wang and others. My cousin Xiang had some friendship with Geng before she got married, so when this was mentioned, she readily agreed.

After leaving Jiang's house, the couple did not return to Ning'an Garden, but went to Lanyue Tower instead. An assassination had occurred here before, and it had been quiet for a while afterwards. Now, it is even more prosperous when they come back.
