Chapter 243 Going to the church to get married
After spending a few leisurely days in Fengtian Pavilion, Jiang Wanying took Lin Chuan to continue her trip.
Along the way, they sometimes stopped to admire the gorgeous mountain flowers, and sometimes played by the stream, chasing the splashing water. After such a stroll, they unknowingly arrived at the bustling Baihua Town.
The streets are bustling with traffic, shops are lined up, signs swaying gently in the wind, and shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods. Everywhere is filled with bustle and vitality, showing a unique scene of prosperity.
"Is this Senior Sister's hometown?"
Lin Chuan slowed down his pace, turned his head to look at Jiang Wanying, and asked softly.
"Yes and no."
Jiang Wanying's eyes softened and she shook her head gently with a complicated expression, as if she was lost in memories of the past.
"When I was very young, monsters massacred the village, turning it into ruins. This Baihua Town was rebuilt by people who came here later."
A hint of sadness flashed in Jiang Wanying's eyes. She looked into the distance and her voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees.
Lin Chuan silently clenched Jiang Wanying's hand, as if he wanted to use the warmth of his palm to dispel the haze in her heart.
"It's okay, it's all over."
She gently held Lin Chuan's hand back, as if to comfort him, and as if to cheer herself up.
"Let's let one let, let one let!"
A gorgeously decorated carriage came galloping like a wild horse, and the rolling wheels raised up clouds of dust.
The driver had a face full of flesh and was waving the whip in his hand ferociously. The whip made a "crackling" sound in the air, forcing pedestrians on the roadside to quickly get out of the way.
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, glanced at the reckless carriage, shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "Which rich man is going on a trip again?"
After saying that, he gently put his arm around Jiang Wanying's waist and quickly moved her to the side to avoid the flying, pungent dust.
Should I teach that guy a lesson? Should I show off and slap him in the face, and finally have him kowtow and admit his mistake, and ask for mercy? Sorry, I'd rather spend my time making the beautiful woman around me happy.
"Sister..."
Just as Lin Chuan was about to speak, he heard a loud "crackling" sound behind him, mixed with the sounds of gongs and drums.
He and Jiang Wanying couldn't help but look back and saw a bridal sedan slowly approaching. The sedan was beautifully decorated, the silk swaying gently in the breeze. The bearers walked in unison, and people were scattering colored paper all around, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lin Chuan keenly caught the glimmer of yearning in Jiang Wanying's eyes. His heart moved, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. He leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "Senior Sister, why don't we have a wedding ceremony?"
"what?"
"Really...really?"
Two blushes instantly appeared on Jiang Wanying's cheeks, her eyes drooped shyly, and her toes tapped the ground unconsciously, the sound as thin as a mosquito, with a bit of surprise.
"Of course it's true." Lin Chuan nodded vigorously, his tone firm.
"Then Achuan, come with me."
There was a lively light in Jiang Wanying's eyes, a sweet smile on her lips, she held Lin Chuan's hand tightly, and walked briskly through the streets and alleys.
Soon, the two arrived at a quiet alley. The alley was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and the sun shone through the mottled leaves, casting patches of light and shadow. There stood an old house, its walls covered in moss.
"This is the old site of my home. My master once brought me back here and helped me buy this land and build this house."
Jiang Wanying gently stroked the mottled wall and spoke slowly.
"Great! Go home with my sister, get married, and enter the bridal chamber!"
Lin Chuan pulled Jiang Wanying into the courtyard, shouting impatiently.
"Stupid... stupid Achuan, do you know the steps of getting married?"
Jiang Wanying's cheeks flushed, she spat lightly, her eyes full of shyness and anger.
"Uh……"
"You should know, right? How about Senior Sister, just clean up first and I'll go out and ask?"
Lin Chuan said with some uncertainty. If it was a Blue Star wedding, he would know the process, but here, he didn't know if there was any difference.
"it is good."
Jiang Wanying nodded gently, her cheeks still flushed, and her voice was soft.
So, Lin Chuan hurried back to the street he had just been on, walked straight to the street vendors, and asked about the process of getting married.
"I don't know. I've been single for over 40 years and have never touched a woman's hand. How would I know what the process of getting married is like?"
"What kind of process is required? If you like it, both families can talk about it and we can reach an agreement and take it home directly."
……
After asking several unreliable guys in a row, Lin Chuan was suddenly stopped by an old woman inside when he passed by a funeral clothing store.
"Young man, you should ask Matchmaker Wang about this matter."
The old woman squinted her eyes, wrinkles running across her face like ravines, and spoke slowly.
"Matchmaker Wang? Where is she?"
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly approached the old woman and asked anxiously.
"Today is the auspicious day when the young master of the Zhang family is marrying the county magistrate's daughter. She should be busy at the Zhang family right now."
The old woman raised her skinny finger and pointed in the direction of the street.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
Lin Chuan took out a silver note and was about to hand it to the old woman, but was directly rejected by the old woman.
"This is a funeral clothing store. It's not appropriate."
After saying this, she slowly turned around and walked back into the house with staggering steps.
Zhang Mansion.
At this time, the house was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Big red lanterns were hung all over the gates and courtyards, swaying in the wind, making the festive atmosphere even more intense.
The mansion was packed with distinguished guests, all dressed in gorgeous attire, walking around with laughter and chattering.
The servants carried all kinds of delicacies and moved around the banquet in a hurried but orderly manner.
"Stop! Do you have an invitation?"
As soon as Lin Chuan approached the door, he was stopped by the servants at the door.
"Ahem, I happened to be passing by Baihua Town and saw there was a wedding going on, so I wanted to come over and join in the fun. Please come forward and let me know. Of course, I'll give you a gift."
As he spoke, Lin Chuan calmly took out a banknote and slipped it into the servant's hand without leaving any trace. The servant was stunned when he felt the banknote, and his expression eased a lot.
"Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will go and report to the master."
The attendant's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he quickly hid the banknotes. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he spoke respectfully.
After a while, the servant came back hurriedly, with a polite smile on his face, and said, "Master said that guests are welcome, so there is no need for gifts. Please come in."
As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way and gestured for someone to come in.
Lin Chuan walked into the mansion and saw that the hall was bustling with activity, with guests toasting each other. He looked around and found an empty seat to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask the guests around him about Wang the Matchmaker's location. However, everyone either shook their heads or gave vague answers.
After asking several people, Lin Chuan finally found Matchmaker Wang in an inconspicuous corner.
Lin Chuan hurried forward and said politely: "Hello, may I ask..."
Before she could finish her words, Matchmaker Wang seemed to be startled by something and almost dropped the round fan in her hand. She was shocked.
"Hey, young man, why are you walking without making any sound? You scared me."
