Chapter 282: Perfect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

After paying respects to Old Master Ji, Ji Zhao brought Ji Chen to the Ji family’s ancestral hall.

Ever since Ji Shi’s accident, Pomegranate Village’s reputation had been completely ruined.

Coupled with the fact that most of the young people in the village had been ignorant and incompetent over the years, the reputation and culture of the village had plummeted.

The person guarding the Ji family’s ancestral hall was Uncle Wei, who had lost his wife for many years.

“Uncle Wei,” Ji Zhao called out obediently, then directly stated her purpose for coming.

“You want to rebuild the ancestral hall in Ji Chen’s name?”

Wei Bo was stunned when he heard this.

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded frankly. “One stroke can’t write a word ‘Ji’. Moreover,

Chenchen is a member of the Ji family to begin with. Moreover, wasn’t

Grandfather’s memorial tablet also set in the ancestral hall?”

Ji Zhao had made this decision after careful consideration.

She wanted to rebuild the Ji family’s ancestral hall in Ji Chen’s name.

Firstly, it could accumulate Ji Chen’s reputation. Secondly, it could be considered as her and Ji Chen’s filial piety to Old Master Ji.

She thought that if she did this, Old Master Ji would be gratified in the afterlife, right?

“Okay.” Uncle Wei had no reason not to agree. “By the way, Ah Tao, I heard that you’re preparing to get married?’

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded slightly with a faint smile. “After all, I was sold to Shanghe Village by Madam Xie last year. The Shen family’s parents wanted me to marry into the Shen family in glory, so they insisted on holding my wedding again.”

“Madam Xie… has indeed let you down.” Uncle Wei sighed in disappointment.

“The Ji family’s courtyard is still there. Do you want to take a look?”

“Wasn’t that house sold?”

‘When the buyer heard that Madam Xie was in jail, he felt that the house was unlucky, so he moved away overnight. Now, that house is empty.” Uncle Wei thought for a moment and said, “Ah Tao, if you don’t mind, why don’t you come back to Pomegranate Village to leave for marriage?”

“It’s been a long time since our Pomegranate Village had a happy occasion.”

Ji Zhao did not immediately reject Uncle Wei’s suggestion. Instead, she replied that she would consider it.

When they returned to Shanghe Village, Ji Zhao had just stepped into the Shen family’s house when Zhao Lanhua welcomed her and pulled her to the main house.

“Mother?”

“Shh!” Zhao Lanhua pretended to be mysterious and shook her head at her before making her close her eyes again.

Although she was puzzled, Ji Zhao still obediently did as she was told.

“Okay!’

A moment later, Zhao Lanhua chuckled and snapped her fingers. “Ah Tao, you can open your eyes now!”

The moment Ji Zhao opened her eyes, she saw a dazzling red wedding dress.

The red double-layered wide-sleeved shirt had a vivid pattern of mandarin ducks and pomegranates embroidered on the bottom.

The neckline had a glowing ruby in front of the chest, and the red outer robe was embroidered with a peacock. The peach-colored waist seal was embroidered with an exquisite lily pattern. The skirt embroidered with the pattern of flowers blooming was decorated with fine pearls. It was dazzling and beautiful. It could be said to be exquisite to the extreme.

“Mother?” Ji Zhao was stunned the moment she saw the wedding dress.

It was really because this wedding dress was too beautiful.

“Look at your expression. You must like it,” Zhao Lanhua said with a smile. “I embroidered this wedding dress with your two sister-in-laws. It was just completed yesterday. Why don’t you try it first?”

“Ah Tao, don’t just stand there. Try it!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly urged.

“Okay.”

With tears in her eyes, Ji Zhao obediently responded. Then, with the help of the two sister-in-laws, she changed into this beautiful wedding dress.

“She’s so beautiful!” Second Sister-in-law Shen could not help but praise her. “Today, I finally understand what it means to have eyebrows like emerald feathers, skin like snow, waist like a silk ribbon, and teeth like pearls!”

Ji Zhao was born fair and beautiful. Now that she was wearing a red wedding dress, she seemed to be even more beautiful.

She was bright as the spring flowers, pure as the autumn moon.

She could be considered a peerless beauty.

“Second Sister-in-law, aren’t you exaggerating?”

Hearing Second Sister-in-law Shen’s praise, Ji Zhao could not help but laugh.

“Ah Tao, you don’t know how beautiful you are!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was also stunned.

Ji Zhao, who had been fiercely praised, became shy.

“On the day of the wedding, Third Brother will definitely be dumbfounded!” Second Sister-in-law Shen suddenly winked at Ji Zhao and said, “Ah Tao, you’ll definitely be so tired that you won’t be able to straighten your back.”

Cough cough—

Ji Zhao was almost frightened by Second Sister-in-law Shen’s fierce words!

“Looking at this waist, it should be suitable.” Zhao Lanhua walked around her and asked, “Ah Tao, take a closer look. Is there anything else that needs to be changed?’

“Mother.” Ji Zhao smiled and said sincerely, “In my eyes, this wedding dress is perfect.”

“Mother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, thank you.”

Ji Zhao smiled gratefully.

It was not easy to embroider such a gorgeous wedding dress overnight.

They must have been preparing for this since the beginning.

“Silly girl, we’re family!” The smile on Zhao Lanhua’s face was extremely loving.

Knock knock—

Shen Yao, who was standing outside the door, knocked on the door and asked softly, “Ah Tao?”

‘Yes?”

“Ah Tao, don’t open the door yet!” Second Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly said, “Change out of the wedding dress first! ”

“That’s right, that’s right! Of course, we have to save this surprise until the last moment! ”

After half an hour, Ji Zhao finally opened the door.

“I was the one who didn’t allow her to open the door.” Zhao Lanhua looked at

Shen Yao with a straight face. “Your sister-in-laws and I were talking to Ah Tao about some girls’ private matters. You’re such a spoilsport!”

“Mother?” Shen Yao suddenly felt wronged.

“Alright, alright. I won’t hold you up from talking to your wife.” Zhao Lanhua frowned and said, “But starting tomorrow, the two of you won’t be able to meet!’

According to the rules, it was best for the bride and groom to see each other in the three days before the wedding.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao grabbed Ji Zhao without another word and led her out.

As Shen Yao whistled, a reddish-brown horse galloped over and stopped outside the Shen family’s courtyard.

“And this is?’

“This is Inferno,” Shen Yao introduced with a smile. “l got to know it at the county market some time ago, so I bought Inferno home.”

“Inferno? Hunting for beautiesO?” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but laugh.

‘What’s wrong?” Seeing the smile on her face, Shen Yao raised his eyebrows curiously. “Ah Tao, what are you laughing at?”

“No, nothing.” Ji Zhao hurriedly waved his hand. “1 just feel that the name

Inferno is very special.”

“I heard from the horse dealer that this horse used to be called Inferno. If Ah Tao doesn’t like it, why don’t we change its name?” Shen Yao suggested with a smile. ‘Why don’t we call it White Snow?”
