Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

The matchmaker and the yatou Linglong carefully supported Yan Xiner back to the bridal chamber. When Yan Xiner finally sat upon the wedding bed covered with brocade quilts, she still felt as if all this were like a dream, too unreal—had she really just married into another family like this? However, this sense of unreality was soon replaced by endless fatigue. It turned out that the heavy phoenix crown on her head made her feel somewhat overwhelmed, but according to custom, this red veil could only be lifted by the groom himself, so she could only grit her teeth and continue to endure.

On the other side, after Yan Xiner was sent back, Ai Chun was suddenly blocked. Only to see Yan Si smiling as he put his arm around Ai Chun's shoulder, enthusiastically saying: "Come, come, come, brother-in-law drinks, drinks! Today we must get drunk and not return!" Saying this, he also pulled Yan Yan beside him with force.

Just like this, Yan Si and Yan Yan, one on the left and one on the right, kept urging Ai Chun to drink and pouring drinks for him. And Ai Chun's other friends, seeing the situation, also gathered around one after another, smiling and raising their cups to Ai Chun to offer congratulations, and presenting fine wine. For a time, the scene was exceptionally lively.

At the table where the children were, the cute Qianqian could no longer restrain her curiosity, holding a cup containing sweet water in her hand, she staggered over to join the fun. And Ai Jiao and Qi Xi, these two mischievous ghosts, naturally did not want to be left behind, they giggled and followed Qianqian as they ran together to Ai Chun's front.

At this time Ai Chun had already been made dizzy by everyone's drinking, his face flushed, his eyes hazy. Seeing that if he continued drinking he would surely be unable to support himself and fall to the ground, An Wangfei, who had been silently observing from beside, could no longer bear to watch. She furrowed her eyebrows and shouted at Yan Si and Yan Yan: "Si'er, Wang'er, enough! Don't let him drink anymore, look at what state he's in? Hurry and send him back to his room to rest!" After speaking, An Wangfei also glared fiercely at the two of them.

Yan Si, being shouted at by An Wangfei like this, immediately felt somewhat embarrassed, and had no choice but to obediently withdraw the wine cup in his hand. Then, he and Yan Yan exchanged a glance, the two understanding each other tacitly, and together they reached out to support Ai Chun, who could already barely stand, slowly walking toward the room.

Yan Xiner, who had been waiting for a long time, kept her ears pricked to listen to the sounds outside. Finally, she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from far to near. Immediately after, the room door was gently pushed open, and Yan Si and Yan Yan supported Ai Chun as they walked into the room. After placing Ai Chun on the bed, they turned around, preparing to leave.

However, just at this moment, Qianqian, Ai Jiao, and Qi Xi, the three little ones who had just followed over, also quietly sneaked into the room. They blinked their big eyes, curiously looking at the people in the room, as if they had discovered something novel and interesting., Ai Chun walked unsteadily toward the pole held by the yatou, he reached out his hand and tightly grasped the pole in his hand. The matchmaker standing beside saw this, smiling all over her face and shouting loudly: "Lift the veil, the red veil falls, a perfect match of jade phoenix and golden dragon!"

Accompanied by the matchmaker's resounding and joyous shout, Ai Chun took a deep breath, then carefully raised the pole in his hand, gently lifting the exquisite red veil on Yan Xiner's head. At the moment the veil was slowly lifted, Ai Chun was completely stunned, he gazed infatuatedly at Yan Xiner dressed up before his eyes, as if time had stopped at this moment.

This was the first time he had seen Yan Xiner dressed so magnificently! Her beauty was simply unbelievable, like a fairy walking out of a painting, so beautiful it was unreal. Yan Xiner at this time was also looking back at Ai Chun with affectionate eyes, her eyes full of tenderness and love. She gazed at this man who would accompany her for a lifetime, her heart filled with happiness and anticipation.

Just at this time, the clever Linglong hurriedly stepped forward, holding a square box with both hands and handing it to Ai Chun. Only to see that inside the box was divided into four small compartments, each compartment respectively containing red dates, longan, peanuts, and lotus seeds and other foods symbolizing good fortune and many children and blessings.

The matchmaker saw this and shouted joyfully again: "A match made in heaven, may you be blessed with a noble son early to add more joy!" The words had just fallen when Ai Chun reached out and picked up a red date from the box, gently sending it to Yan Xiner's mouth. Yan Xiner slightly opened her cherry-like small mouth and gently bit into the sweet red date. Immediately after, Ai Chun carefully peeled a longan, a peanut, and a lotus seed, sending them into Yan Xiner's mouth one by one. After Yan Xiner finished eating, only to see Linglong walk forward gracefully, holding a delicate red tray in her hand. On the tray, two crystal-clear wine cups were placed, filled with clear and mellow fine wine.

At this time, the smiling matchmaker opened her mouth and said: "May the mandarin ducks intertwine their necks for a thousand years, may the zither and lute be harmonious for a hundred years!" The words had just fallen when Ai Chun, smiling, elegantly reached out and took the two cups of wine. He first gently handed one cup to Yan Xiner, then raised the other cup himself. After the two looked at each other, they slowly extended their arms, crossing them together.

At this moment, the atmosphere around seemed to freeze, everyone's gaze focused on them. Immediately after, Yan Xiner and Ai Chun simultaneously tilted their heads back and drank the wine in the cups in one gulp. The clear and mellow wine flowed down their throats, like a warm current, warming each other's hearts.

Seeing this scene, the matchmaker shouted loudly again: "The ceremony is complete! Please, the newlyweds, enter the bridal chamber!" As her words fell, the matchmaker led a group of yatou to prepare to withdraw. However, Qianqian, standing at the door and having witnessed the whole process, seemed still unsatisfied and wanted to continue watching the next scene. But just as she raised her foot to walk into the room, she was unexpectedly grabbed by Yan Si from behind.

At the same time, Qi Xi and Ai Jiao on the other side also could not escape the same fate. Only to see Yan Yan, like an eagle catching a chick, picking up one person with each hand, without distinction, he took them away.

Looking again at Qi Yu, who had originally been sitting at the banquet, at this moment he was actually drunk to the point of unconsciousness, the whole person collapsed under the table snoring loudly.

At this moment, only Yan Xiner and Ai Chun remained in the room. Red gauze danced lightly, the bamboo curtains swayed, and the air was filled with a sweet atmosphere. The two embraced and slept, enjoying their warm moments together.

This grand wedding finally concluded successfully, the guests all stood up to take their leave, each setting out on the road home. On the way, An Wangfei was in a pleasant mood, constantly praising Ai Chun as truly an outstanding good child. After a while, she turned her head to the person beside her and muttered: "I truly hope Xiner can often return to her maiden home to visit, I, as her mother, will miss her every moment." Just like that, An Wangfei chattered on all the way, and even after returning home she still did not stop.
