502 Erniu Gets Married
Chu Jin didn’t know much about Su Chong. He sincerely befriended him and naturally wouldn’t investigate Su Chong’s family matters behind his back.
Su Chong took the initiative to tell him about these things after they became friends. Su Chong invited him to the wedding banquet, so he must be someone he cared about. It was time for Chu Jin to ask.
Su Chong smiled and briefly explained the family matters.
They were sworn brothers with the Chen family and had a deep friendship that they had shared for more than ten years.
“Alright, I’ll definitely be there on the ninth.”
Chu Jin agreed with a smile. The two families had such a good relationship, so the Chen sisters were naturally special to Su Chong. He really wanted to befriend Su Chong, so he naturally had to attend the wedding banquet.
After resting for a while, the three of them continued to practice. Su Chong was improving, and Chu Jin and Qi Xingfeng were also improving rapidly.
Chen Erniu was getting married, so the Su and Chen families got busy.
On the night of the eighth day of the New Year, Chen Erniu, Chen Daniu, and Madam Qian were together. Madam Qian’s gentle eyes were glistening with tears.
Madam Zhao sighed softly. She patted the back of Madam Qian’s hand and said gently, “Sister-in-law, Erniu is already a big girl. She’s getting married for happiness.”
Madam Qian pursed her lips and nodded. She smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, time really flies. It’s as if they’ve grown up in the blink of an eye.”
The memories of the past were already covered in a layer of hazy moonlight that could not be seen clearly.
Chen Daniu was already a woman. After marriage, all her inexperience and childishness had receded.
She checked her sister’s dowry over and over again before sitting beside Chen Erniu and holding her hand. The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Madam Qian said gently to Madam Zhao, “Sister-in-law, it’s getting late. Go back and rest. You still have to wake up early tomorrow.”
Madam Zhao nodded and got up to go home.
Tonight was another sleepless night for Madam Qian.
Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu probably couldn’t sleep either.
When Madam Zhao returned home, Su Sanlang was still awake. When he saw Madam Zhao return, he switched from the inside to the outside.
Madam Zhao got into bed. The blanket was very warm. She leaned against Su Sanlang’s arm and said gently, “After Erniu gets married, it’ll be our Hua’s turn.”
Su Sanlang nodded and replied softly, “Yes, our son is getting married.”
“When Teacher Lin replies and decides on Chong’s marriage, I’ll be at ease. Xiaolu is still young. It won’t be too late to choose in a few years.”
Madam Zhao smiled and pressed her ear to Su Sanlang’s chest, feeling at ease and satisfied.
Su Sanlang hugged Madam Zhao tightly and smiled. He turned his head and kissed her lightly. He said gently, “Go to sleep. We still have work to do tomorrow.”
Chen Erniu was also like their daughter. They were also very concerned about her getting married and hoped to send her off in a grand manner.
The two families had gotten better and better along the way, becoming closer and closer.
In the other room, Su Xiaolu leaned against Su Xiaoling and ate shaved ice.
Su Xiaoling was a little worried. “Xiaolu, let’s boil some medicine.”
Su Xiaolu swallowed the shaved ice and felt the ice slide down her throat. Then, she waved her hand and said, “Sis, there’s no need. I know my body well. It’s just a little heat. It’s a small problem.”
For some reason, she had a fever several times during this period of time and did not feel any discomfort.
The first time she had a fever was on her twelfth birthday.
Su Xiaolu did not know if this was an omen. She could feel that the spiritual energy in the Space was even richer. Her body was also filled with spiritual energy. Logically speaking, she should be stronger than an ox, but she felt inexplicably hot.
She did not let Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and the others know, but she could not hide it from Su Xiaoling. Every time she had a fever, Su Xiaoling would be the first to know.
“Xiaolu, you’ve had a fever four times in the past month. You can’t pretend that nothing happened. It’s said that doctors don’t treat themselves. You have to see a doctor.”
Su Xiaoling frowned with a stern expression.
Su Xiaolu didn’t want to go, but after some thought, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll go and take a look tomorrow after Big Sister Erniu gets married.”
Hearing Su Xiaolu’s words, Su Xiaoling was relieved.
Seeing that Su Xiaolu had finished the bowl of shaved ice and was still looking at her eagerly, Su Xiaoling took the bowl away and said in a gentle and irresistible tone, “You can’t eat anymore. You’ve already eaten a bowl. The weather is turning cold now. Eating too much will spoil your stomach.”
“Go to sleep.”
Su Xiaoling placed the bowl on the table and went back to sleep. She patted Su Xiaolu gently and coaxed her to sleep.
Su Xiaolu knew that wheedling was useless, so she gave up and slept.
In a daze, she felt that her body was hot and cold, as if something was squeezing her body with all its might. She felt that her meridians were about to explode. It was so uncomfortable.
She sank her consciousness into the Space, plunged her head into the spiritual spring, and drank it.
That night, Su Xiaolu slept especially badly.
When she woke up the next day, the fever had already subsided.
There was a commotion from next door. Su Xiaolu put on her clothes and drank the meat porridge on the table. Then, she went over to watch the commotion.
Chen Erniu was still washing her face. During this process, she had to clear the hair on her face, making her skin as tender and smooth as a peeled egg. She had to put on makeup, coil her hair, and so on.
Madam Qian and Madam Zhao personally helped her complete all of this.
After dressing up, Chen Erniu seemed to have changed into a different person. She was extremely beautiful.
As the sound of firecrackers came from outside, not long after, the matchmaker shouted, “The auspicious time has arrived.” Madam Qian personally covered Chen Erniu with a red veil, and everyone’s eyes turned red.
When she opened the door and went out, Chen Shi was already prepared. As soon as the door opened, he said loudly, “Second Sister, I’ll carry you out.”
With that, he bent down and waited for Chen Erniu to climb onto his back before carrying her out.
On the way, Chen Shi said to Chen Erniu the same thing he said to Chen Daniu when she got married.
He said, “Second Sister, you have to be very happy. Very happy, okay?”
“I’ll learn from Big Brother and Second Brother. In the future, I’ll definitely make you proud and support you. You don’t have to worry about anything. Xiaoxing and I will be your and Big Sister’s backers.”
Chen Shi’s footsteps were steady. Chen Erniu, who was on his back, was already crying. She choked and hummed.
After getting on the bridal sedan chair and setting off, the sound of firecrackers and joyous gongs rang out.
Things would be different after she got married.
After the escort left, the house fell silent.
Su Xiaoling urged Su Xiaolu to see a doctor.
Su Xiaolu spun around in front of Su Xiaoling and said, “Sister, look, I’m fine.”
Su Xiaoling did not care. She held Su Xiaolu’s hand and said, “Xiaolu, you promised me last night. You can’t go back on your word.”
Su Xiaolu shrank her neck. “Alright, I’ll go to the Imperial Hospital and let Imperial Physician Qin take a look at me, okay?”
Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was difficult for her to go out, she would have brought Su Xiaolu there herself.
