Halfway through the social event, Tang Gang had a bad feeling when he saw more and more people bowing and greeting him with fawning expressions on their faces.

When all the officials from Huaijiang arrived, he finally realized that he was being treated as a coolie by Xin Kuan, and that he was hiding outside to have some free time, allowing the great marquis to stay here to entertain him.

Especially when he saw Mu De'an and several young officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also surrounded by the crowd and greeted, the corners of his mouth twitched inadvertently, and he cursed Xin Kuan inwardly for being such a cunning businessman. Even people who had nothing to do with him were treated as coolies by him. Did Mu De'an and the others know that they were being sold out?

Look at that worthless smile, I'm afraid he doesn't know.

At the auspicious time, Xin Huan and a group of friends rode on tall horses and happily arrived at the door of Zhou's house. The girls and boys of the Zhou family started to block the door. After a while, red rain fell from the sky. Xin Huan, who used silver to clear the way, quickly picked up his bride. The bride got into the bridal sedan. Just as he was about to climb on the horse and go back happily, he caught a glimpse of several people in the Zhou family with red eyes, especially Mrs. Zhou, whose handkerchief seemed to be soaked.

Even though Mr. Zhou was forcing a smile, one could tell that he was reluctant to let her go. Xin Huan suddenly felt like a robber. Tang Mo wondered if Xin An was also like this when she left her parents' home, with her loved ones holding back their tears as they sent her out.

"Bow to your father-in-law and mother-in-law and say a few nice words."

Xin Huan stepped forward and bowed, "Today I am welcoming my wife home. I will come back in three days to have a drink with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Please take care of yourself."

"Go."

Mrs. Zhou forced a smile and said, "Don't delay the auspicious time."

Xin Huan climbed onto his horse, and the sedan chair returned amid the sound of firecrackers. Out of sight of the wedding procession, Madam Zhou picked up a basin of water and poured it out, splashing water everywhere...

Xin Huan, who was feeling a little heavy-hearted, felt better when he saw many people watching the wedding procession as it entered the main street. He bowed to everyone and said, "I am very happy today, and I share your joy."

As soon as the words fell, fistfuls of copper coins were thrown out. The onlookers were busy picking up the money and not forgetting to send their blessings. The copper coins were scattered all the way. Tang Mo's mouth twitched. He knew that his father-in-law's family was rich, but he didn't know they were so rich. He wanted to stay and follow his father-in-law.

"Here she comes, the bride is here."

There were already people waiting at the Xin family's door, and the yard was full of people. The people in the family immediately started to get busy. The old lady also came to watch the fun and said to Wang: "The Xin family members are really good. They are united and do their own jobs."

Wang nodded in agreement, saying that the Xin family's daughter and son were good, "a very well-behaved family."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to raise a girl as thoughtful and considerate as the second son's wife."

Before coming here, she actually thought that if one of her sisters married well, her sisters would definitely be envious. She had seen people hooking up with their brothers-in-law before, and it was not uncommon in the capital.

That's why she paid close attention when the Xin family girls came to pay their respects to her for the first time. She was also prepared to give Tang Mo a warning, telling him that good days don't come easily, so he should not lose his mind and go the wrong way.

Unexpectedly, her worries were unnecessary. These girls only talked to Xin An. As soon as they saw Tang Mo coming, they would actively avoid him. No one came forward. Even though there were two who were very lively and courageous, they were very well-behaved, which made her look at them with admiration.

There were several ladies standing around, and when they heard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's comments on the Xin family, their eyes couldn't help but fall on the boys and girls of the Xin family. They were all familiar families, and inter-marriages were common among families. The scene of the Xin family today was really eye-catching. In the past few years, no family had held a wedding with so many officials, and there was even a marquis in charge.

Besides, there are people in Huaijiang who have hooked up with the powerful, but this is the first time that a daughter of the Xin family has been valued by a powerful family and is willing to be accompanied by the whole family back to her parents' home. This shows how close the relationship between the Xin family and the Marquis' Mansion is.

In this way, the unmarried sons and daughters of the Xin family naturally became the first-tier candidates.

To the sound of suona, Xin Huan led the girls from the Zhou family into the main hall according to the rules and ceremony. Xin Kuan and Madam Xin sat on the high hall, their eyes filled with satisfied smiles.

The newlyweds performed the ceremony in front of the guests. After the ceremony, they were escorted to the bridal chamber and the guests were invited to take their seats.

"Ah, who are you?"

Tang Mo really couldn't hold his liquor today. Even if he could drink a lot, he couldn't withstand the enthusiasm of the guests. He also thought that he was not good at drinking. If he made a fool of himself, it would be embarrassing. He went out to urinate to catch his breath. A woman came out from behind the rockery, staring at him innocently with her big watery eyes.

Tang Mo was not someone who didn't know anything. He raised his eyes and said, "You came to the Xin family for a banquet, but you don't know who I am?"

The girl said, "I am from the Han family. I seldom go out. I don't know you. If I offended you, please forgive me."

"It's not a collision."

Tang Mo walked away without even giving her a glance. The girl stomped her foot in anger. Another woman came out and said, "You messed up. You could have just said you knew him and that you admired his righteousness after learning that he was busy with the charity hall."

"Sister Han, why are you here?"

Xingyue, a girl from the Xin family, came over with a smile on her face. "Several sisters from the Yao family said they wanted to go fish watching together. Do you two sisters want to go with us?"

"The fish in the Xin family's pond are the most beautiful. They are fat and beautiful. Very interesting."

The two girls from the Han family were naturally together. Xin Yue pulled them with a smile. Her mother said that they had to be on guard against hungry wolves today, and sure enough, she caught them.

The episode was soon forgotten, the front yard was still lively, Tang Mo who had just returned was forced to drink again, Xin An talked with a group of ladies, although it was tiring, fortunately she was good at it.

"Sister, you didn't see those two from the Han family. They have bad intentions."

Xin Yue found Xin An in the afternoon and told him about this. "It's not just her. There are a few others who are also looking for opportunities to get close to my brother-in-law. They are so shameless."

Xin An was a little angry at first, then he smiled and pulled Xin Yue to sit down, "I've thought about this before. Those people saw that I was doing well and thought they could have sex with me. They also thought it was normal for noble families to have three wives and four concubines. Your brother-in-law doesn't have any concubines, so doesn't that give them something to think about?"

Xin Yue angrily said that those people were really going too far. This was a blatant poaching, and they had even poached people from home. "Don't worry, sister. We will keep an eye on them today and will not give them any chance."

"But my brother-in-law is definitely not such a person. My mother said that as long as a man is upright, those demons can do nothing about it."

Xin An wanted to say that human nature is the most difficult to test. She believed that Tang Mo would not think of taking a concubine, but nothing is absolute and one must not be careless. She also thought that today was not the right time and she would say a few more words to these sisters when she had time.

She has suffered losses, but up to now she dare not say that she has seen through men and the world, and she always has to give these sisters a few more words of advice.
