Chapter 313: line with translation of chapter title

313. Chapter 313: A grown daughter should not be kept at home, she marries out.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xue looked at Tian Cuifen and said: "Mother, You Caidie didn't do it on purpose; she did it because she likes the elder brother…"

Tian Cuifen: "……"

She didn't hear a word of what she had said earlier.

She thought for most of the night.

Tian Cuifen decided to marry Ji Xue off early, and the next day she went to town to find Ji Fan to discuss the matter.

"Fan'er, Mother wants your younger sister to marry early."

"It hasn't been that long, has it?"

After speaking, Ji Fan asked: "Mother, why do you suddenly have this idea? Did my younger sister do something to upset you?"

"No."

Tian Cuifen thought about it but still didn't tell Ji Fan what happened last night.

Ji Fan, puzzled, said: "Since my younger sister didn't do anything to upset you, how..."

"A grown daughter should not be kept at home."

Tian Cuifen spouted nonsense, and after saying that, Ji Fan didn't ask further.

A moment of silence.

Tian Cuifen said to Ji Fan: "I want your younger sister to marry in town; this afternoon we'll come stay at your place, don't worry, I won't let her do anything to Qiao Lihua."

Ji Fan always felt his mother was acting strange, but since she had spoken, he couldn't refuse and agreed.

Seeing Tian Cuifen off.

Ji Fan told the teacher and then went to Qiao Lihua's shop.

Qiao Lihua also felt Tian Cuifen was strange; not long after Ji Fan left, she went to Qiao Jiulou to find Qiao Sheng and told her about this.

Qiao Sheng listened and said: "Something must have happened; otherwise your mother-in-law wouldn't suddenly say to let Ji Xue marry early. Alright, I'll send An Liu to protect you."

"Big sister, An Liu was sent by Shi Lin ge to protect you; how could I..."

Qiao Lihua felt embarrassed to accept.

Qiao Sheng said without allowing discussion: "Alright, it's settled then!"

This side.

Tian Cuifen, fearing You Caidie might do something, packed up in the afternoon and brought Ji Xue and Xiao Yu to town.

Only after arriving in town did she tell Ji Xue that the wedding date had been moved up.

The day after tomorrow she will marry.

Ji Xue looked surprised and asked: "Mother, why moved up? Weren't there still about ten days?"

Tian Cuifen said without changing expression: "Mother thinks it's better for you to marry early. Firstly, you're not young anymore; secondly, you often see Zhang A Niu, and if people see that they'll surely gossip."

Is that really the case?

Ji Xue felt this matter was related to You Caidie, but she still didn't say anything, because she now hopes to marry Zhang A Niu and live with him every day.

You Caidie discovered the next day that Tian Cuifen and the others were not in the village, so she went to town to look for them, but not knowing where they stayed, she searched all day without finding them.

In the blink of an eye, the day of Ji Xue's wedding arrived.

When Ji Xue married, Qiao Hushui and family, as the in-laws, naturally came; they gave neither too much nor too little, presenting eight taels of silver.

Qiao Sheng actually didn't need to come, but she came for Qiao Lihua's sake and also gave two taels of silver.

Since Tian Cuifen's cooking wasn't very good, she held the banquet at Qiao Jiulou; each table cost over two taels of silver, and counting their other relatives and Qiao Sheng's group, they had a total of five tables.

Qiao Sheng gave them a discount, calculating two taels of silver per table, so five tables amounted to ten taels of silver.

Ouyang Yuefeng was also here today, but he wasn't in the main hall; he was in a private room.

While Qiao Sheng and company were eating.

Ouyang Yuefeng came out to look.

Old Master Wu was with him today; his gaze fell on Lan Yue Niang beside Qiao Sheng, and his expression involuntarily paused: "Host, that lady beside Miss Qiao..."
