Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yan Qianqian listlessly picked up her chopsticks, eating while letting out sighs from time to time. Seeing this, Yan Si felt equally disheartened, and the two ate in silence without saying much.

Not long after, they hastily ended this rather gloomy lunch and each returned to their own quarters.

After returning to Qianji Yuan, Yan Qianqian quickly dealt with the official trifles piled on the table, then, dragging her slightly weary body, went to Wufangyuan to rest for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the day passed like a white steed glimpsing a crack. Today was Yan Si's great wedding day—he was marrying his beloved! For this, An Wangfei specially requested a day's leave for Yan Jie.

And just yesterday, when Yan Wang learned that Second Brother was about to marry, he also specially arranged today's leave so he could come attend the wedding. This was truly a rare family reunion!

At this time, the sky had not yet fully brightened, but the makeup artist had already arrived at Yizhan and began carefully dressing up Shangguan Xingyu. And Shangguan Xingyu herself had risen early, waiting for this important moment with joy and anticipation.

On the other side, Yan Si was even more excited, rising even earlier than Shangguan Xingyu. It turned out that according to local custom, all trash cans, manhole covers, and such along the route needed to be pasted with festive "Double Happiness" characters.

Thus, Yan Wang, Yan Si, Ai Chun, Ai Jiao, plus Qi Yu, five people walked out of their home together. Each held a large handful of thick "Double Happiness" characters.

To ensure the wedding procession would not repeat past mistakes and could not backtrack, they had to take a big detour to smoothly return to An Wang Fu.

Thus, this task of pasting "Double Happiness" characters was truly not easy. Just as everyone had stepped out the Gate, preparing to split up, they were unexpectedly stopped at Men Kou by An Wangfei. Seeing this, Yan Si asked with a face full of confusion: "Mother Consort, what is this?"

An Wangfei excitedly said: "Look, there are still so many sheets of bright red paper! Quickly spread them out, we want to create a grand scene of ten miles of red bridal dowry!"

The words had not fallen when several Servants quickly came carrying a thick stack of paper and distributed them among the five people present.

The five received those heavy stacks of red paper, and their faces instantly showed expressions of being weary of life.

However, Yan Si acted relatively calm. He first lightly patted Ai Chun's shoulder, then said with a face full of gratitude: "Brother-in-law, such great kindness, I, your younger brother, truly have no way to repay! Today's matter entirely relies on you!"

After speaking, without hesitation he pulled a stack from his own pile of red paper and handed it to Ai Chun.

Seeing this, Ai Chun sighed helplessly and replied with a wry smile: "Ai, today is a great happy day, these are all things that should be done!"

Immediately after, Yan Si continued arranging: "Brother-in-law, how about this: you and Ai Jiao take the route to welcome the bride, while our remaining three take the return route. After all, the way back is more winding and long, so it's more proper for us three to handle it."

After hearing this, Ai Chun nodded slightly, indicating agreement with this arrangement, and responded: "Fine, no problem!"

As for Ai Jiao, after growing during this period, he had now reached the age of rapid physical development. Plus, An Wang always cared for his subordinates with utmost concern, and even the food in Jun Ying was both delicious and nutritious.

Therefore, Ai Jiao not only shot up in height, growing a bit taller than Yan Wang, his physique became increasingly sturdy and robust. Even more worth mentioning, his martial arts advanced rapidly, and he could now be called a first-rate expert, fully deserving to be called Yan Wang's most capable little assistant.

Thus, the five people split into two groups according to plan and began acting. Along the way, they pasted red "Double Happiness" characters on every manhole cover, trash can, and even roadside trees they saw. Gazing from afar, the entire street seemed submerged in a festive red ocean.

Since An Wangfei had purchased a large quantity of "Double Happiness" characters, she specially instructed everyone not to be frugal and to paste them freely. Thus, not only was the entire Dajie covered in joyful red, but inside and outside Wangfu was also a sea of red.

After Ai Chun and Ai Jiao finished the pasting task at Yizhan, they were surprised to find they still had many "Double Happiness" characters left. So, they had a sudden idea and decided to decorate the inside and outside of Yizhan again, immersing it completely in a festive atmosphere.

After some effort, Yizhan was finally covered with full "Double Happiness" characters, and gazing from afar, it was like a red ocean.

However, because pasting "Double Happiness" characters at Yizhan took much time, when Ai Chun and Ai Jiao finished work and returned to An Wangfu, they arrived almost right after Yan Si. As soon as Yan Si returned to his Yuan Zi, he immediately began washing and dressing without stopping.

In contrast, his preparations were not so complicated. He first carefully washed his face clean, then carefully shaved off the beard on his face, and finally combed his hair neat and tidy with a comb.

Immediately after, he quickly put on that bright red groom's outfit, instantly becoming dashing and elegant.

Just then, Yan Qianqian walked in with light steps. It turned out An Wangfei worried Yan Si couldn't handle it alone and couldn't properly manage everything, so she specially sent Yan Qianqian and Yan Shuang'er to assist together.

Seeing Yan Qianqian yawn while slowly walking into the Room, she seemed still a bit sleepy-eyed.

At this moment, Yan Si had already tidied himself up neatly and smartly. Beside him, Yan Qianqian inadvertently glanced at him and couldn't help exclaiming: "Yo, Second Brother is kind of handsome today!"

Hearing his younger sister praise him so, Yan Si smugly looked at himself in the mirror, then confidently said: "Of course? Your Second Brother has always been handsome and dashing, just that usually I'm busy and have no time to carefully dress up."
