Chapter 48: The Two Married and Vowed Together (Additional Update)
Pei Ziyao and her elder brother have always been flamboyant, so she was also dressed in tight clothes. Her dashing appearance attracted the curious gazes of the people around her.

After circling the city for half a day, when the auspicious time arrived, the ceremonial guard led by Pei Zisu appeared in front of the Jiang family's door in Luoying Lane. At the same time, all the carriages of Marquis Wenyuan's mansion stopped in front of the door. Seeing them coming, Madam Wang got off the carriage with the help of Marquis Wenyuan and his wife.

Upon seeing this, Pei Zisu also dismounted from his horse, walked quickly up to Old Madam Wang, bowed and spoke.

"Zi Su greets the old lady, the Marquis, and the Marquis's wife."

"Okay, okay, from today on, our family will truly be even closer!"

Mrs. Pei, who was standing by, looked at the scene behind her son and frowned slightly. She asked a question.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Don't worry, mother. I borrowed the ceremonial weapon from Princess Qing Huan. With her here, no one in the city will say anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, the main door of the Jiang Mansion opened wide to welcome the guests respectfully.

When everyone saw this scene, their doubts were put to rest, and they rushed to tell each other that the girl that General Pei wanted to marry was actually Miss Jiang!

Jiang Huaishan was wearing a dark red robe with floral and ruyi patterns, which made him look much more energetic. When he saw the people in front of the mansion, he immediately stepped forward and greeted Madam Wang respectfully and said.

"My mother-in-law is here, but I am late to welcome her."

It was rare for Old Lady Wang to see her son-in-law dressed so festively. Knowing that he was also dressed for today's event, she was in a much happier mood. She raised her hand and replied with a smile.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's the auspicious time, let's go, let's not delay our marriage."

"Yes! Mother-in-law please!"

After saying that, he personally led the people from Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion and Mrs. Pei, who was about to get engaged, into the Jiang family's gate first. Behind him were the four sons of the Wang family and their cousin-in-law Xiang, and then the three people from the Pei family and the ceremonial guards.

They came in one after another, and soon the Jiang family's yard was filled with those things.

Old Madam Jiang had gotten up early today and dressed up deliberately, as she did not want to lose face in front of Old Madam Wang. However, when it came to wealth and nobility, she was far behind Old Madam Wang, so when she saw Old Madam Wang appear, she was still badly outshined.

But before she could get angry, she was shocked by the huge pile of betrothal gifts behind her.

Isn’t he just an ordinary nephew?
How could it be such a big deal!
She stood there in a daze, looking at it, not knowing what to do. Her Second Aunt Zhang and Crown Princess Jiang Shijin beside her also looked a little embarrassed, with the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.

You have to know that the prince made the decision in a hurry, and the situation was not even one-tenth of what it is now. At that time, they already felt very proud, but now they saw it and realized that they were only seeing the world from a narrow perspective.

No wonder Madam Pei sounded sarcastic at that time!

Second Aunt Zhang thought that she was jealous of her daughter's marriage and was speaking sourly. Now she realized that in their eyes, marrying into a wealthy family had become a laughing stock in Xijing City, and she was very angry and dissatisfied for a while.

"Where's Ah Nian? She's the protagonist today, why isn't she here?"

Old Madam Wang didn't even bother to say a few polite words to Old Madam Jiang. She started asking about her granddaughter's condition. After Old Madam Jiang came back to her senses, she smiled apologetically and said something.

"Mother-in-law, please move to the inner hall. Ah Nian is waiting inside."

Today was a happy occasion, and Old Lady Wang didn't want to cause any unpleasantness, so she said "hmm" and walked towards the inner hall, followed by a group of people behind her, leaving Second Aunt Zhang and Jiang Shijin's mother and daughter aside. Although the two were unhappy, this occasion was not a place for them to easily show their displeasure, so they could only follow them in. After them, Aunt Yang and Aunt Hai also brought the Third Girl, the Fourth Girl and Jiang Shilin into the inner hall, but compared to the mother and daughter, their faces were filled with real happiness.

The Jiang family is not of high status, and this most spacious front hall seems much more crowded at the moment.

After the two old ladies took their seats, everyone else followed suit and sat down in their existing seats. Madam Pei took a cold look and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Just as my sister-in-law said, this relative of the Jiang family really had some thoughts in mind. Once he had this idea, he decided to save the Pei family's face, so that he could vent his anger for his future daughter-in-law.

So he looked at the nanny beside him and saw her taking out the list.

It was a thick stack. Even without Mrs. Pei saying anything, Mrs. Jiang knew that it must be a valuable item, so after she came back to her senses, she immediately smiled and spoke.

"Madam, you are so polite. It is also my granddaughter's good fortune that she has been admitted into your Pei family. It is a great honor for her."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the faces of everyone in Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion turned ugly, but before they could say anything back, Pei Zisu stepped forward and said something respectfully to Old Madam Jiang.

"You are too kind, old lady. It is my great fortune that Zi Su can marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I have prayed to the Buddha for several lifetimes to get this fate. No one in the Pei family has the intention of looking down on the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, so please don't be too modest, old lady."

With his words, the gloomy look on Old Madam Wang's face cleared up.

"Zi Su's words really hit the nail on the head. My granddaughter, who was carefully raised by the Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion, is naturally worthy of a good man in this world. There are those who are blind, and there are naturally people like you who can recognize jade. You must treat me, An Nian, well in the future, understand?"

"Don't worry, old lady. Zi Su will keep it in mind."

As soon as Madam Wang opened her mouth, Madam Jiang glared at her son with dissatisfaction. Then, seeing that he was laughing so happily that he didn't pay any attention to her at all, she could only swallow her anger. However, she still had to show off, so she replied.

"That's right. Today, my granddaughter from the Jiang family is getting engaged to the son of the Pei family. In the future, she will also marry someone from the Jiang family. When that time comes, I will just be waiting to drink the wedding wine you toast me."

After hearing this, not only Old Madam Wang, but even Jiang Huaishan noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to interrupt.

"Mother is very happy today and some of the things I said may not be to her heart. Please don't be offended, mother-in-law. Even if Ah Nian is married from the Jiang family, she will still respect and love you."

"I like what my son-in-law said. I know the child I raised well. Even if Ah Nian gets married, she will not distance herself from the Wenyuan Marquisate."

With just a few words, she brought back Madam Jiang's inappropriate remarks. Seeing this, Madam Pei did not wait any longer and spoke immediately.

"This is the list of betrothal gifts. The Pei family is willing to marry into the Jiang family."

She handed the list directly to Jiang Huaishan. Old Madam Jiang was eager to see what was written on it, but before she could see it, she heard her son smiling and closing the list and saying in front of everyone.

"My daughter has not been around since she was little, and as a father, I feel guilty. I will take these betrothal gifts with her back to the Pei family, and add new dowry. I hope Madam Pei will have pity on her for losing her mother at an early age. If you can treat her well, I will be very grateful."

"Jiang Zongzheng is too polite. Since your daughter is the daughter-in-law of my Pei family, I will naturally take good care of her. You can rest assured about this."

Although Madam Pei didn't talk much and wasn't very close, her tone was so sincere that Jiang Huaishan believed her. His eyes became red unconsciously. When he cried, everyone in the Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion couldn't hold back any longer.
