I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Luo Qianhuai was helped to sit on the edge of the couch, and the matchmaker handed an exquisite golden scale to Mr. Mo: "A beautiful scene and a good time cannot be wasted, please pick the veil, my lord!"

Jin Cheng lifted up the red gauze scarf, and Luo Qianhuai's vision completely regained clarity.

The room was filled with red everywhere. Young Master Mo stood tall in front of her, wearing the same black and red woven cotton wedding gown as hers. His face, which was already as white as ice and snow, was cast with a hint of crimson, making him look even more seductive.

As soon as the veil was removed, the matchmaker's voice rang out: "The veil is lifted, good luck and fortune are in sight, everything is beautiful, and the couple is rich and reunited..."

Young Master Mo did not avoid others at all. His burning gaze lingered on Luo Qianhuai's face for a long time, until she could no longer hold on and pinched his hand hard. Only then did he move and sit next to Luo Qianhuai with a smile.

The matchmaker picked up a pair of gourds tied with red strings from the table, poured clear wine into them, and handed them to Luo Qianhuai and Mr. Mo respectively:

"Please, Lord Marquis and Madam Marquis, drink the wedding wine together."

Luo Qianhuai raised his hand and intertwined his arms with Mr. Mo, and they each drank the wine in one gulp.

The matchmaker clapped her hands and laughed, "Cup the wine cup together, and be together forever. Grow old together, and be blessed with happiness and fortune!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qianhuai threw the gourd in his hand, and it landed at the same time as Mo Gongzi's, one facing up and the other facing down.

The matchmaker smiled so hard that her teeth showed and her eyes could not see: "The sky is over the earth, the man is down and the woman is up, the yin and yang are in harmony, it is the best of luck!"

The smile on Mr. Mo's face deepened: "Well said, reward."

Xing Xuan appeared from somewhere and stuffed a heavy brocade bag into the matchmaker's hand.

The matchmaker pinched it and realized that it was filled with five-zhu coins. According to the weight, there must be at least a hundred of them. Her smile became even brighter.

Someone brought the cooked dumplings. Luo Qianhuai and Mr. Mo each took one, put it in their mouths, took a slight bite, and swallowed it whole.

"Are you going to have the baby?" asked the matchmaker with a smile.

"Give birth." Luo Qianhuai and Mr. Mo said in unison.

The wedding procedures have basically come to an end here.

All the bystanders left. Master Mo stood in front of Luo Qianhuai and reached out to help her pull out the heaviest gold and ruby ​​Huasheng that was stuck in the middle of her hair.

As soon as she took it off, Luo Qianhuai felt a lot more relaxed. She looked up at Mr. Mo and felt that his gorgeous clothes made him look like a fallen immortal.

Mr. Mo was also looking at her, his eyes sparkling with stars: "Yinyin is different today than usual, she is very beautiful."

His voice was always elegant and pleasant, but now it was a little more hoarse, adding a taste of being corrosive to the bones. Luo Qianhuai felt that the little bit of fruit wine he had just drunk was now slowly flowing to the top of his head along with his blood. He felt a little dizzy and just stared at him blankly, unable to move his eyes away.

Mr. Mo remained sober. He stood up reluctantly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her temples, and said softly: "Yinyin, wait here for a while. I will go out to deal with it and will be back soon... to accompany you."

He deliberately slowed down his speech for the last two words, which sounded quite soul-stirring.

Luo Qianhuai understood what he meant, and a glow gradually appeared on his eyebrows, eyes and ears.

Mr. Mo chuckled and walked out of the house.

As soon as he left, Xing Xuan came in with a big food box: "Madam, you must be starving, come and have something to eat - this was just delivered from the back door of Yaoxing Tower, it's still hot!"

Luo Qianhuai was indeed hungry. The little he had eaten in the morning was like a date falling into his stomach, which was of no use at all.

Her eyes lit up, and the dizziness she had just felt disappeared immediately. She drank a bowl of shredded chicken wontons, half a smoked pigeon, three crab roe soup dumplings, and a small dish of osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root. Only then did she feel at ease.

"Why do you have to go through the back door to get such good food?" she asked.

Xing Xuan smiled with her hands covering her mouth: "Madam, you forgot that the young master is now the poorest marquis in Xijing City. The little wealth he left behind was all used to pay the betrothal gift and make wedding clothes. Even the money for today's wedding banquet was borrowed from everywhere. How could he afford the snacks in Xinglou?"

Luo Qianhuai had forgotten that someone had been trying his best to pretend to be poor.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Where did you order the seven or eight tables of banquets in the outer courtyard today?"

"Of course it can't be a high-end restaurant, and the wine is also very cheap village wine. I think the adults must not be used to it. The young master should be able to come back soon."

"Don't call me Young Master anymore." Luo Qianhuai suppressed his laughter and said, "Call me Marquis instead."

"Yes." Xing Xuan responded with a smile. Seeing that Luo Qianhuai had almost finished eating, she quickly cleaned up the leftovers, took off her hairpins and changed her into light clothes.

"Madam, please wait a moment. I will go to prepare some water." She was able to draw inferences from one instance and even changed her tone towards Luo Qianhuai.

Since Master Mo had no other female servants except a mute servant named Wei Ying, all the chores fell on Xing Xuan alone.

Luo Qianhuai felt sorry for her and couldn't help asking, "It was the past. Now that we are married and I have a stable income, it shouldn't be a problem to hire a few more servants."

"The young master has already instructed that all matters in the inner house are to be decided by Madam." After Xing Xuan finished speaking, she pushed the door open and walked out.

The room suddenly became quite quiet, but the noisy voices of people urging others to drink in the outer courtyard became louder and louder.

It was obvious that the guests came for different purposes and did not leave early because of the food and wine.

Luo Qianhuai looked at the pair of red candles burning in front of the window, which were as thick as children's arms, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

Unconsciously, her thoughts began to diverge, and she automatically and consciously began to make short-term plans after marriage:

First, I need to hire more servants. Second, I need to go and see the Qinglu Garden, which was granted by the emperor. I need to arrange for repairs according to the situation. It would be best if we can plant Champa rice seamlessly in two months. Third, it is not realistic to go to Changling every day. It would be best if I could open a medicine shop in Xijing.

However, it's a pity to open a medicine shop in such a good corner of South City. I should think about it carefully and think about what kind of rare things to sell. It would be best if I could get some formulas from the system in the near future, such as papermaking and glass...

As soon as this thought came to mind, an electronic voice suddenly rang in Luo Qianhuai's ears:

"It is detected that the host has a strong desire to obtain the formula. According to the new features of the latest version, the host can choose to start the random task mode to obtain various formulas of your choice. Use the shortcut system to reach the peak of life! The sooner you choose, the sooner you will benefit. Please start the random task mode immediately, yes/no?"
