276. Chapter 276: Your sister's already married, when will it be your turn?

The auspicious moment has arrived.

Amid the festive music, Ji Fan led the wedding procession to usher Qiao Lihua onto the ox cart, then rode away from Qiaojia Village.

Qiao Hushui and his group not only invited Gao Shi today, they also invited the villagers; after Ji Fan and his party left, they began helping the hired cooks get busy.

Compared to eating at the town tavern, having a cook prepare food at home is naturally more economical.

They had the hired cook come to the house to cook.

Shi Lin and his group also came today, but they arrived later; they only showed up when everyone was almost finished eating.

Qiao Sheng, knowing they were coming, set up a table for them in the inner courtyard.

She was already nearly full.

When Shi Lin wanted her to eat together, she found an excuse and followed them to sit in the inner courtyard.

They sat down and chatted a few sentences.

Shi Lin suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help asking Qiao Sheng, "Qiao Sheng, doesn't your mother have any family? I don't think I saw her…"

Qiao Sheng replied, "My mother truly has no family left; her parents are dead, and her only brother is also dead."

Shi Lin had previously thought it was a bad relationship that kept people away, but it turned out to be this.

"Qiao Sheng, I'm sorry, I…"

Qiao Sheng said at the same time, "It's okay, it's already in the past."

Na Lan Ruo Lan and the others were still in the outer courtyard; Qiao Sheng stayed here with Shi Lin for a short while before going out to accompany them. Since they rarely came, she naturally had to accompany them.

Shi Lin's group didn't give any gifts; they only gave money.

Shi Lin gave two hundred silver taels in notes, An Jiu and his group gave a total of eight taels of silver; mainly because they didn't have much money, they didn't give more.

Even so, it was still a decent amount.

On top of that, there were contributions from Na Lan Ruo Lan, Cheng Xianglan, and Yun Tian.

Altogether nearly seven hundred taels.

Qiao Hushui and his group didn't take everything; each household returned some, and they also gave back some food they had made themselves.

When Na Lan Ruo Lan left, she grabbed Qiao Sheng's hand and said, "Girl, your sister's already married, when will it be your turn? When you get married, Grandma will make a big box for you, filled with many good things to keep as a treasure."

Qiao Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Grandma, you're too kind to me, but I can't say when I'll get married now. Rest assured, if I ever marry, I'll tell you the moment it happens."

"Alright, alright!"

Na Lan Ruo Lan patted Qiao Sheng's hand and said.

Shi Qi is no longer here; he has returned to the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, he would have sent a gift today.

Feng Qingyang now finds Qiao Sheng increasingly attractive, finally understanding why his own wife once said she was beautiful.

If only Qiao Sheng didn't like Shi Qi.

He probably would have helped arrange the marriage, letting her marry Shi Qi.

Tonight.

Shi Lin and An Jiu didn't leave; they are staying at Qiao Sheng's house tonight.

Night.

After everyone returned to their rooms to sleep, Shi Lin sneaked into Qiao Sheng's room, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorting clothes."

Qiao Sheng slowly turned and gave Shi Lin a kiss.

"One kiss isn't enough."

Shi Lin gave a wicked smile, pressed close, and after a long while finally let go of Qiao Sheng: "I really want to devour you right now."

Speaking of eating.

Shi Lin thought of his purpose for coming, took Qiao Sheng's hand and sat down, then said seriously, "Qiao Sheng, why wait three months? Let's get married now. That way we might even have a child before your second sister does."
