Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1467: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (XI)

New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, Wang Chen drove Chen Yijian, who wanted to stay with his teacher, back home, and then set up tables and chairs in the yard, and put out copper stove hot pot and beef and mutton slices and other ingredients.

Warming a pot of rice wine on the red clay stove is a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Drinking hot rice wine and shabu-shabu beef, Wang Chen looked up at the fireworks in the night sky.

He didn't feel lonely.

But before he finished the pot of wine, he suddenly had an idea.

The next moment, a figure silently passed over the courtyard wall and landed steadily in the small courtyard.

This uninvited guest was wearing a green robe, and his momentum was quite majestic. There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen put down his wine glass, stood up and bowed: "Wang Chen greets the lord."

"Lord?"

The visitor's eyes were a little strange: "Shouldn't we change the name?"

Wang Chen readily said: "The son-in-law greets his father-in-law!"

The middle-aged man in green robe was Ye Dai's biological father, Ye Xiangming, the county magistrate of Qing'an.

Although Wang Chen had already set a wedding date with Ye Dai, it was the first time he met this cheap father-in-law.

"No need to be polite."

Ye Xiangming waved his hand: "I just came to see the new son-in-law."

Due to the obstruction of the eldest wife in the family, he could not arrange the wedding for Ye Dai openly, and he was a little depressed at this time.

Wang Chen brought a chair and chopsticks and asked the cheap father-in-law to sit down.

Ye Xiangming sat down, but rejected the chopsticks presented by Wang Chen: "I have already eaten at home."

Wang Chen did not force him and poured him a cup of warm rice wine.

This time Ye Xiangming did not refuse again.

Facing Wang Chen, the cheap son-in-law, Ye Xiangming's mood was actually quite complicated.

It's not that I'm satisfied, but if you think about it carefully, it's impossible to find a more suitable husband for Jiao'er than Wang Chen.

But after a conversation, Ye Xiangming's satisfaction with Wang Chen increased a bit.

For Wang Chen, face-to-face communication with his father-in-law is undoubtedly a very novel experience.

Although he has several Taoist companions, the one in front of him can really be regarded as a father-in-law.

The problem is that Wang Chen is much older and richer than Ye Xiangming in terms of real age and life experience.

So Wang Chen really put himself into the role of an ordinary scholar, and communicated with Ye Xiangming as a son-in-law, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and self-assured.

It was precisely this attitude that made the county magistrate look up to Wang Chen again.

He couldn't help asking: "My dear son-in-law, do you have any plans for the future?"

As Ye Xiangming, saying such words is undoubtedly a way to promote Wang Chen.

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I am doing well as a teacher now, and I have no intention of becoming an official in the government for the time being."

Wang Chen's official identity is a scholar. Although this degree is bought, it is not a fake.

If a scholar enters the government system, he must start as a minor official.

Even if he can be promoted with Ye Xiangming's care in the future, it is almost irrelevant to Wang Chen.

Ye Xiangming sighed: "There are many disputes in the government, and it is understandable that you want to be a minor official."

After a pause, the county magistrate said in a deep voice: "But you must take good care of Dai'er, and you must not let her down."

Wang Chen nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let her down."

"That's good."

Ye Xiangming drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

He stood up and took a deep look at Wang Chen, and his figure flashed out of the courtyard wall and disappeared in the vast night in a blink of an eye.

?????55.?????

Such a light skill is enough to enter the second-rate level in the world!

Wang Chen smiled and leaned back in his chair.

This cheap father-in-law is quite interesting.

…

The 28th day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day for marriage, sacrifice, blessing, travel, groundbreaking, housewarming, migration, bed installation, and beam raising…

Wang Chen waited for the day when he would become a groom.

With the help of a group of neighbors, he changed into a bright red wedding dress, rode a tall white horse, and went to the Ye family to pick up the bride with a flower bridge and a wedding procession amid the congratulations.

Although Wang Chen had not been in Qing'an County for a very long time, he had earned a high reputation for the past two years by providing almost free education to the children of the common people in Tongluo Lane and its surrounding areas.

When the neighbors saw him, a young scholar, they all respectfully respected him as a gentleman, and sometimes even asked Wang Chen to mediate disputes and conflicts between neighbors.

This time when Wang Chen got married, he had no relatives, so these neighbors enthusiastically acted as relatives and friends to arrange the wedding for him.

It saved Wang Chen a lot of trouble.

The wedding procession was full of music and drums, and Wang Chen arrived at the Ye family under the watch of passers-by.

The wedding process was very smooth. Ye Dai did not need a high bride price, nor did she have unruly family members and bridesmaids. She happily sat on the flower bridge and was carried to Tongluo Lane.

The wedding place was in the decorated school, and all the necessary ceremonies were complete. It was a real formal marriage.

With the witness of many neighbors, Wang Chen and Ye Dai became husband and wife.

During the whole process, the father of the bride never showed up, and the respected people in the county town served as witnesses.

The banquet was set up from the courtyard to the entrance of the lane, and it was very lively.

Wang Chen rarely let go of his heart. He toasted at every table. In the end, he didn't know how many glasses of wine he had drunk, but he didn't feel drunk at all, which made all the neighbors marvel.

Mr. Wang is amazing!

The wedding banquet didn't end until the moon was above the willow branches. After the banquet, the neighbors were responsible for cleaning up the tables, chairs, and dishes.

Wang Chen didn't need to worry about it anymore.

After everyone left, Wang Chen closed the courtyard door and came to the new house.

The newly decorated room was lit with red candles, and a beautiful woman with a red veil was sitting on the edge of the bed.

There was also a cute maid Xiaoyu serving beside her.

Xiaoyu saluted Wang Chen with a blushing face: "Meet the son-in-law."

She was a maid who grew up with Ye Dai, so naturally she married into the Wang family with the latter.

She was a maid who was a concubine.

"Yes."

Wang Chen nodded: "You go out first."

After sending the maid away, he took the wedding scale and lifted the red scarf covering the bride's head.

The moment of amazement made Wang Chen's heart flutter.

Ye Dai was not a stunning beauty, but tonight she was wearing a red satin wedding dress with gold patterns, her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and her eyes were full of affection. Under the candlelight, she was extremely beautiful!

"Madam..."

Wang Chen took Ye Dai's slender hand and drank a cup of wedding wine with her.

Ye Dai's alcohol tolerance was very high, and her pretty face was instantly stained with a layer of light red after being steamed by the wine.

Wang Chen smiled slightly: "Madam, let's take a rest."

Ye Dai was so embarrassed that she closed her eyes and nodded silently.

Wang Chen picked her up and gently placed her on the brocade couch, and blew out the red candle at the same time.

Suddenly, the whole room was full of spring.
