Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 69, Zheng Lan moves in

In the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday evening. Zheng Lan's train was scheduled to depart from Kyoto Station at 6pm. The two agreed that Wang Li would wait for Zheng Lan near Tianjiazhuang, a suburb of Kyoto, where Zheng Lan would jump out of the train and escape.

After saying goodbye to his uncle General Zheng and his aunt, Zheng Lan boarded the train and walked towards his seat carrying his camouflage suitcase.

At this time, Zheng Lan was dressed very casually and wore a hat on her head to make it easier for the person who would replace her to disguise himself as her.

After the train started moving, all she could think about was her uncle and aunt, and whether her beloved Wang Li had arrived at the agreed location.

When the train was about to arrive at the agreed location, someone took advantage of the dimness of the carriage, walked to her berth and sat down, handed her a door key, and said nothing.

Zheng Lan took a look at her and found that she was wearing basically the same clothes as herself, so she knew that she was her replacement. So she didn't say anything more and walked towards the door of the carriage with the key.

It was already seven o'clock and it was getting dark. As Wang Li waited anxiously, there was a slight vibration on the track ahead. Soon, an old green train came over. Wang Li flashed the flashlight he had prepared in advance in the direction of the train.

Soon, when the train was about to pass by Wang Li, a graceful figure jumped down from the door of the carriage. Wang Li knew it was Zheng Lan, so he quickly went to meet her and held her firmly in his arms. The two separated only after the train was far away.

Zheng Lan asked: Have you been waiting for a long time? Is the weather cold?

Wang Li replied: Fortunately, I am in good health and I didn’t have to wait long. Let’s go home quickly. It will probably be midnight when we get home.

The two of them lost no time and drove the carriage towards Kyoto.

Wang Li prepared a quilt in advance and put it on Zheng Lan, so Zheng Lan did not feel cold after arriving at the courtyard at around 1 a.m.

Warmly welcomed by Wang Li's parents and Lai Xiaomei, Zheng Lan was brought to Lai Xiaomei's room. Today, Zheng Lan and Lai Xiaomei live together.

She was not arranged to stay in Wang Li's room, after all, the two had not yet held their wedding banquet. Although they could not hold a grand ceremony, they discussed that they still had to go through the formalities, and they could only consummate their marriage after the wedding banquet.

Lai Xiaomei was very happy when she heard that Zheng Lan could stay with her for a few days. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful sister with a good personality and good housework? She also wanted to learn more from Zheng Lan.

She also wants to dress up beautifully and be a lady. Even if she can't be a lady from a wealthy family, she has to be a beautiful girl from a small family.

In short, Zheng Lan escaped smoothly and arrived at Wang Li's house secretly.

In the following days, Wang Li's mother, Zheng Lan and Lai Xiaomei were all preparing for the wedding banquet and decorating the new house. Although it was not allowed to be a big event, the ceremony had to be done in a proper manner.

They decided to tell the public that Zheng Lan was the daughter of a scholar whom Wang Li’s father rescued when he was hunting in the mountains.

In order to repay Wang Li, the scholar agreed to marry his daughter to Wang Li as his wife, and agreed to marry his daughter to Wang Li when he came of age. The scholar died this year, so Zheng Lan came to Wang Li's house and married him. Because Wang Li was not of legal age, they did not get a marriage certificate. This explanation is still perfect.

The bridal chamber was set up in the main house of the third courtyard. Because people wanted to give Zheng Lan a surprise, they did not let Zheng Lan participate in the decoration.

The guests invited to the wedding banquet were only the three families of Zhao Qiang, who were good friends with Wang Li's family and had frequent contacts with them. The explanation for them was the same as before.

Happy and busy times always pass quickly. Today is the day when Wang Li and Zheng Lan officially hold their wedding banquet.

As they had been invited in advance, the three families arrived early. The women helped prepare the food while the men chatted in the living room of the second courtyard.

Although they were puzzled as to why Wang Li got married so quickly and without a grand ceremony, the woman's explanation of her identity to the outside world was very strange to those who were familiar with Wang Li's family.

After all, they already knew that Wang Li and Zheng Lan were dating.

But they didn't ask any further questions. After getting a hint from Wang Li, they all spoke with one voice, saying that Zheng Lan was marrying Wang Li to fulfill her father's last wish.

Zheng Lan was very happy to see Zhang Fang and his wife and girlfriend. She had thought that it would be difficult to meet female friends of the same age after marriage.

She didn't expect them to be there, and she believed that she would not be bored in the future. Therefore, she entertained several future girlfriends with great enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. She showed her good upbringing and gentle personality, and won praise from the women present.

Everyone said that Wang Li had found a good wife and got a great deal. The three young daughters-in-law also agreed with this statement. As I said before: when there is a big difference in appearance, temperament and figure, it is difficult to arouse jealousy, and there is only envy and admiration.

Through this contact, they recognized Zheng Lan.

Wang Li saw all these things and he was very proud because after tonight Zheng Lan would be his real wife and they would rise and fall together.

After Wang Li and his wife received their wedding gifts, the banquet began. During the banquet, everyone was toasting, laughing, and talking, with words like congratulations and wishing them a happy baby soon.

Le's parents and Wang Li laughed frequently. Zheng Lan looked a little shy with her eyebrows raised.

Wang Li almost lost his composure when he saw it, it was so beautiful. When he thought about being able to put this beautiful flower in his house tonight, he was very excited and felt extremely satisfied.

He became even more grateful for the five-colored stone in his mind. After all, this was the first time he got married in more than fifty years in his two lifetimes, and he was marrying such an outstanding woman.
