Chapter 374: Finding the Wedding Shoes

"Really?" Si Rong blinked her eyes.

Then, very quickly, her eye sockets turned red.

Fang Ting panicked instantly, "Don't cry, I was just joking with you!"

"Is Sister Ting worried about me?" Si Rong's eyes returned to normal instantly, she just tilted her head to look at her, "I'm fine."

This was one of the acting-spoiled skills she had practiced since childhood, which worked very well for dealing with her two older brothers.

Fang Ting:...

A vixen! Jiang Cheng married a vixen!

She rolled her eyes, then was pulled by Si Rong to eat breakfast.

The Si Family's breakfast was delicious; she wasn't paying attention and ate a bit too much, making her stomach round and full.

And Si Rong didn't say anything, just rested her chin on her hands and watched her quietly.

Looking very patient.

After eating, she followed Si Rong to the bedroom.

Si Rong's bedroom was in the typical style of a young lady from a prominent family, with pale pink curtains, and even the flowers blooming on the windowsill were pink, except for the bright red bedding on the bed today because of the wedding.

But it wasn't that tacky kind of bright red; it was embroidered with intricate, magnificent patterns, gorgeous but not vulgar.

Si Rong sat on the bed, her red wedding dress draped behind her, waiting for the groom to come and collect her.

Ming Zi held a small comb and helped her tidy her makeup and hair from time to time; Fang Ting was not good at these things.

But she had eaten the Si Family's delicious breakfast, so she decided to contribute some effort.

"I'll block the door later, I guarantee I won't let anyone in easily!"

Si Rong:...

Ming Zi:...

"Sister, you need to be clear, our Rongrong is having her wedding night today. Remember, block them while acting coy, and once the red envelopes are pushed through the door crack, open the door."

Fang Ting was a bit speechless, "Of course I know, don't worry."

Because she had good stamina, she was often asked to block doors and was very experienced.

Less than half an hour later, as the morning light began to rise, a string of firecrackers sounded outside the Si Family's door.

"They're here, the groom is here!" Ming Zi hurriedly directed, "Quick! Close the door!"

Fang Ting closed the door and then stood behind it very diligently, looking as if one person could hold the pass against ten thousand.

Outside the door, someone knocked, "Si Rong, I've come to marry you!"

"If you want to marry the beauty, you must first pass three trials!" Ming Zi called out.

Outside, the hearty laughter of several men rang out, "Bring it on! Our Brother Cheng is extremely brave; he fears nothing to marry his beautiful bride!"

"The first trial is sincerity! Let us see the sincerity of marrying a wife first, then we will be in the mood to set the questions!"

"Sincerity?" Jiang Cheng outside the door was stunned, but his brainy younger brother reacted immediately, took out the red envelopes prepared in advance, and pushed them through the door crack, "Alright! The sincerity is pushed through the door crack! Please check!"

One after another, red tokens of sincerity were pushed into the room.

Ming Zi squatted down to pick them up, picking up more than a dozen in total, and handed a few to Fang Ting, "Here!"

"I don't want them," Fang Ting felt that she had already eaten the Si Family's food today, so blocking the door was only right.

But soon she was bewildered again; clearly, her plan today was just to attend the wedding and go through the motions, so how did she inexplicably end up helping Si Rong block the door, practically becoming her family from the bride's side!

"These aren't ordinary red envelopes; they carry auspicious blessings. Maybe with these red envelopes, you'll find a partner soon!"

Fang Ting turned to look in Si Rong's direction and found that she was also looking at her with an expectant expression.

In the end, she still tucked a few red envelopes into her pocket, but she wouldn't know that what Si Rong was thinking at this moment was hoping she would quickly achieve a happy ending with Jiang Dacheng.

If she herself could get together with Jiang Cheng at the right age in this life, then their two children might be born earlier.

If a son was born, then her daughter-in-law's age couldn't be too far off.

Otherwise, if they couldn't grow up together later, it might affect their relationship.

Now, it could be said that no one was more anxious about Fang Ting's lifelong event than she was.

Fang Ting:...

For some reason, she actually saw the same look in Si Rong's eyes as she did in her own mother's.

That eager, earnest expectation for her to settle down, uh... she must have seen it wrong.

Si Rong was idle with nothing to do, why would she hope for her to get married?

Outside the door, Jiang Yu called out again, "Sister-in-law! Is our sincerity enough? Tell us what the second trial is!"

"The second trial, I will set the question!"

Ming Zi stood behind the door, then took a slip of paper from her pocket and read out a brain teaser she had racked her brains to think of over the past two days.

"First question, what kind of person never sees a doctor when they are sick?"

Hee hee, only the strong can marry her Rongrong!

"Never see a doctor?" Jiang Cheng frowned and thought for a while, "A blind person?"

Inside the door, Ming Zi seemed a bit surprised, "Eh? Jiang Cheng, not bad!"

She had thought she could stump Jiang Cheng for a while.

Jiang Cheng also didn't expect the intelligence test to be a brain teaser, which could be considered a lucky hit; there was a time when he was worried that Si Rong would dislike him for not being smart enough, so he specifically bought two books to read.

He also didn't expect it to come in handy today.

"What flower has no leaves?"

"Snowflake."

"What thing can only be done by one person?"

This time Jiang Cheng was stuck, because he hadn't seen this brain teaser before.

"Think fast!" he commanded Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu:...

He only knew how to be fierce toward him; if he had the guts, he should go be fierce toward his wife's good sister!

The groom and groomsmen outside the door immediately fell into collective contemplation.

"Hahahaha, can't think of it, can you?" Ming Zi was very pleased; this was the finale question she had come up with.

"It's a dream," Jiang Cheng said.

He used to have it alone often; in the dream, just like today, Si Rong would marry him with a heart full of joy and live life together with him.

Now that the dream had finally come true, he would never have to have those dreams alone ever again.

Ming Zi:...

"Fine, fine! Today you are the groom, may everything go as you wish!"

Ming Zi and Fang Ting opened the door together, welcoming in the groom Jiang Cheng and the group of people who had come for the wedding procession.

"There's only one last hurdle left," Ming Zi smiled slyly, "as long as you find the bride's pair of green wedding shoes, the groom can take the bride away!"

"The wedding shoes are in this room, right?" Jiang Yu confirmed.

"Correct."

A group of men immediately began searching for the shoes in the room; Jiang Cheng was tall, so he mainly searched the tops of cabinets and the edges of the ceiling.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Dacheng, meanwhile, one crawled on the floor to search, while the other pondered the bedside.

"Found one!"

Jiang Cheng found one in a compartment of a cabinet, but for the moment, none of them had found the other one.

Jiang Yu crossed his arms and analyzed, "There are only three places in the room left that haven't been searched."

"Which three?" Jiang Dacheng looked bewildered, "Haven't we searched everywhere already?"

Fang Ting rolled her eyes at him; what a fool.

"To be more precise, that wedding shoe should be on one of the three women in the room."

Ming Zi leaned back against the wall, crossed her arms, and looked at him, "Then you guess, which one of us three is it on?"
