Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 402 Father and Son
On the afternoon of the tenth day of March, Zhao Wangshu changed into a fine cloth dress and went to Mingli Hall with Yao Shanzhi.

Mingli Hall was decorated with lights and full of laughter.

Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi walked through the crowd and went straight to the bride's boudoir.

Inside the room, Wang Xiu Niang was sitting in front of the mirror, with a group of female companions helping her to dress up.

She was wearing a red wedding dress, with a happy smile on her face, and looked exceptionally beautiful.

Yao Shanzhi stepped forward and handed Wang Xiu Niang an exquisite silver ruyi, "Dani, this is my wedding gift to you. I wish you and Li Dalang a long and happy marriage and a son soon."

Wang Xiu Niang took the silver ruyi and said with joy, "Thank you, county lady."

Zhao Wangshu handed her the brocade box containing the silver cake of Hehe Erxian, and said, "Dani, this is my wedding gift to you. I hope you and Li Dalang will live happily together until old age."

"Thank you, Madam." Wang Xiu Niang said happily.

At this time, the festive sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers were heard outside. The groom, Li the peddler, had arrived outside Mingli Hall with his wedding party to marry his bride.

The matchmaker quickly put the veil on Wang Xiu Niang's head.

As the matchmaker said, "The bride is getting married," Wang Xiu Niang was surrounded by the crowd and escorted out of her boudoir.

In the main hall of Mingli Hall, Wang Xiuniang's blind mother sat in the main seat.

Wang Xiu Niang was supported by the matchmaker and slowly walked into the main hall. The peddler Li came forward to greet her, "Madam, I'm here to pick you up."

The matchmaker stuffed the red silk into the hands of the two and said, "The newlyweds bid farewell."

Wang Xiu Niang and Li the Peddler knelt before the blind old lady, "Mother-in-law."

The blind mother fumbled to hold her hand, smiling, but couldn't help her tears falling, "Dani, I can't bear to let you go, but I also hope that you can marry a good family. Li Dalang is an honest man. I believe that you will live a good life with him."

Wang Xiu Niang listened to her mother's instructions, feeling very sad. "Mother, I will remember your words and live a good life with Li Dalang. I will come to pick you up after I have settled down in my husband's family."

"Okay, okay, mother will wait for me." The blind old mother responded repeatedly with a relieved smile on her face.

"Please rest assured, mother-in-law, I will treat you well." Li the peddler also expressed his opinion solemnly.

"Good, good boy." The blind old mother choked with sobs.

"The auspicious time has arrived. It's time for the bride to get on the sedan chair." The matchmaker urged.

Li the peddler pulled the red silk and took Wang Xiu Niang out of the door.

The two women helped the blind old woman to the door and handed her a basin of water, "Old woman, pour it over here."

The blind old woman spilled the basin of water out.

After the bride left the house, the wedding banquet on the woman's side began. Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi sat down at the main table.

Yao Shanzhi whispered, "It doesn't look as complicated as your wedding."

"It costs money to be cumbersome." Zhao Wangshu pointed out the reason directly.

"It's not allowed according to etiquette or law." Yao Shanzhi guessed.

"Yes." Zhao Wangshu nodded.

As they were talking, the dishes were served. There were six dishes, three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup, as was also stipulated by etiquette.

These dishes were all made by the girls under the guidance of the cook.

The girls are very diligent and hardworking. Although they have only learned for three months, they are able to cook dishes that are quite presentable and taste not too bad.

However, for Yao Shanzhi, who was used to eating delicious food, it was a bit difficult to swallow.

It is easy for people to live in luxury but difficult to live in frugality. Zhao Wangshu also couldn't eat any more, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "Gardenia, don't force yourself. I'll go eat roast goose with you later."

"Okay, okay." Yao Shanzhi smiled and nodded. When the wedding banquet ended, it was already dark, but Zhao Wangshu kept his word and accompanied Yao Shanzhi to Shexiu Tower to eat roast goose.

After eating the roast goose, the two walked for a while to digest the food before getting on their own carriages and going home.

Zhao Wangshu returned home and heard little Yunyu crying as soon as he entered Linglong Courtyard. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Little Yunyu has a good temper and seldom cries loudly.

Zhao Wangshu was anxious and walked quickly, "Yu'er, mother is here, what's wrong, my baby?"

When little Yunyu heard the voice, he paused crying. He raised his head from his wet nurse's arms, looked at Zhao Wangshu, pursed his lips, and sobbed.

"Come, come, let mother hug me." Zhao Wangshu reached out and hugged him, forehead to forehead. His face was not hot, and he did not have a fever.

Little Yunyu fell into her arms and stopped crying loudly, but sobbed softly.

"Does your stomach hurt?" Zhao Wangshu touched his stomach, which was not bloated. "Yu'er is missing his mother, right?"

Just as Zhao Wangshu was coaxing his son, Yun Hao, who was far away in Pu County, led his troops in a fierce battle with the bandits.

"Sir, be careful." A Dragon Court Guard shouted.

Suddenly, an arrow came flying through the air and hit Yun Hao's vital point.

Yun Hao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged by leaning sideways. The arrow just grazed his shoulder and hit the tree trunk behind him.

"That was a close call!" Yun Hao was secretly shocked.

He looked around and saw dark shadows swaying vaguely in the depths of the dense forest. It was obvious that the bandits still had a lot of people lying in ambush.

"Pass the order, be careful of hidden arrows, don't be careless." Yun Hao waved his sword and pointed it at the deep forest, "Follow me and charge over to catch these bandits in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, sir," the soldiers responded in unison.

Following Yun Hao's order, the soldiers rushed towards the group of bandits hiding in the dark like arrows.

The battlefield was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouts of killing.

Yun Hao led the charge and rushed to the front.

His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every swing of his sword carried the force of thunder.

The bandits were numerous, well-trained, and well-coordinated. Although the Longting Guards were elite soldiers who could fight ten at a time, they were outnumbered, and the Pu County defenders could only plunder their positions.

For a while, the situation was stalemate.

Upon seeing this, Yun Hao quickly adjusted his strategy and ordered one Dragon Court Guard to be in the center, assisted by ten defensive soldiers, to be divided into several groups and launch attacks from different directions.

At the same time, he sent an elite team of three people to bypass the trees and go straight into the center of the bandits.

The situation on the battlefield immediately reversed, and Yun Hao finally found the location of the bandit leader.

He was wearing a black suit and holding a huge machete, and was madly hacking at the soldiers.

"Mouse, I found you." Yun Hao knew too well the importance of capturing the leader first.

Yun Hao was agile and quickly rushed towards the bandit leader.

When the bandit leader saw someone coming straight towards him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he let out a grim grin and swung the huge machete in his hand to meet the attacker.

The two men's weapons collided in the air, producing dazzling sparks.

After a fierce fight, Yun Hao finally found his opponent's weakness and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.

As their leader was captured, the bandits lost their fighting spirit and dropped their weapons in surrender.

The bandits who had been entrenched in the deep mountains and forests of Pu County for many years were wiped out by Yun Hao. Shen Rui bypassed Jingbian Hou and submitted a petition for merit to the court.
