Who Else Was as Glorious as Him?
These shopkeepers were all loyal servants of the Feng Clan, and they were furious.
In their eyes, Cheng Xiao was an ingrate, and the Feng Clan was determined to elevate Cheng Xiao to a pedestal.
Because Feng Jiao had chosen Cheng Xiao, the Feng Clan also decided to give him their son-in-law, so many of the Feng Clan's resources were used by Cheng Xiao.
Little did she know that this ingrate was secretly taking advantage of Feng Jiao.
The event was grand and the entire process was perfectly prepared; the betrothal gifts alone numbered 88.
The entire Qingshui County had never seen anything like it before, and the whole county was in an uproar.
The common people flocked to see the spectacle. "I heard the county magistrate is getting married, and the dowry is 88 loads! It's incredible!"
"I heard a lot of high-ranking officials came, wow... and they even handed out a ton of candy! Let's hurry and grab some!"
"Really? I want to go see too."
Feng Caigu was very satisfied with the wedding, and the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe sent to her were incredibly beautiful.
This phoenix coronet and embroidered robe were made with exceptional care; the polishing and sewing alone took quite some time and effort to complete.
The gold and silver jewelry inlaid on it was of good quality and of high quantity, and was specially transported from the largest jewelry shop in the capital.
This set of phoenix coronet and embroidered robe alone, along with the matching gold and silver jewelry, cost more than 100,000 taels of silver.
That's not all; there was also a huge collection of gold and silver jewelry most fashionable among the noblewomen of the capital, which cost more than 200,000 taels of silver.
The maid combed Feng Caigu's hair and said:
"Young lady, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Our master has been too good to you."
Anyone with eyes can see that the son-in-law truly cares about you.
Feng Caigu snorted coldly and said:
Feng Jiao was still unaware of how angry she was! So what if she's beautiful? So what if her family is rich and powerful? Didn't she just pave the way for my success?
Cheng, My Love is my true love, what is she anyway?
The maid nodded and said, "I heard that today's betrothal gifts are 88 loads, no less than those given to Feng Jiao back then."
And this banquet hall is the most luxurious Banquet Guest House in our area!
Feng Caigu's face showed satisfaction. "Ah! Cheng, My Love and I will only get better and better in the future, just wait and see!"
The masseur arrived quickly and did her makeup. Cheng Xiao looked radiant. He sat on his tall horse, his face full of ecstasy. This was the highlight of his life.
Who else is as successful as him? He's not even thirty years old yet, and he's already married the woman he loves and has so many businesses.
I wonder if Feng Jiao will come today. Why does that woman have to cause trouble? Can't she just live a peaceful life with him?
The wedding banquet was incredibly grand, and he was extremely satisfied with Second Uncle Lin. Looking at Second Uncle Lin, he said, "County Deputy Lin, I didn't expect you to be so reliable. I am very satisfied and will definitely promote you in the future. Work hard for me."
Second Uncle Lin said with a smile, "This is all I should do. Please let me know if you have any similar requests next time."
Without him, how could he have been promoted and ennobled? How could he have amassed such wealth?
If he succeeds in this matter, he will receive a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to the position of county magistrate. Good heavens! He has never encountered such a good thing before.
He was just a minor scholar; if he could actually become a county magistrate, it would be an incredible stroke of luck.
He looked at Zhou Wanwan by the roadside, waved happily, and said, "Don't worry! Everything's fine."
This is his Little Ancestor, his precious treasure, his lucky charm!
Zhou Wanwan was quite happy, as she had been involved in everything along the way, selling all the things she owned to the Cheng Family.
Just kidding, she has to make herself feel involved.
Those charcoal pieces were sold for dozens of times more!
And then there were the wild game hunted in the mountains; she led a hunting team, which took half a month.
Today, the Cheng Family's dining table is filled with wild game that she raised and hunted.
She made over ten thousand taels just from selling these; Cheng Xiao is a real cash cow!
She had to keep an eye on him, otherwise she was afraid he would run away.
Cheng Xiao was overjoyed and went directly to pick up Feng Caigu. The shy Feng Caigu, dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, looked quite like a real person.
Zhou Wanwan really couldn't understand why Cheng Xiao Feng Jiao was so obsessed with being with Feng Jiao, who was clearly prettier and had a much better temperament than her.
Soon it was time for the wedding ceremony, but neither Cheng Xiao's parents nor Feng Caigu's parents arrived.
Just as they were about to begin the wedding ceremony, they saw Cheng Xiao's parents and Feng Caigu's parents alight from their carriages outside.
Cheng Xiao's parents were a little confused, and her son didn't know what was going on either. He had the servants bring the two of them over, saying that there was something very urgent.
Looking at the wedding hall, Father Cheng said:
"Wow! This Qingshui County is quite nice. I heard it was a poor and desolate place before."
I never expected such a lavish banquet. And our son, he didn't even explain what happened."
Mother Cheng sneered:
"You don't understand your son, but I do. He's about to take a concubine, so I invited us to this celebratory feast."
I think he should have taken a concubine a long time ago. He's always fawning over Feng Jiao. So what if the Feng Clan is rich?
A man should take more concubines, so that wretched woman will know the power of the Cheng Family.
Wow, our son's got some skills! He's only been a county magistrate for a few days and he's already accomplished something.
"As expected, my son is capable of anything. After a few years of service abroad, he'll return to Beijing as a high-ranking official. Then, who will dare to look down on our family?"
Father Cheng. and Mother Cheng were extremely excited, becoming happier the more they thought about it.
Feng Caigu's parents, standing nearby, seemed a little reserved. Father Feng said, "We don't know why you invited us here."
Mother Feng smiled and said, "No matter what, it's a good thing. Even if Cheng Xiao Caigu as a concubine, Caigu's life will be worthwhile."
Looking at Father Cheng, Mother Cheng. Mother Feng said, "Oh! In-laws, you've come too!"
Mother Cheng sneered, "It's just taking a concubine, why did we bring you all over here?"
Mother Feng smiled and said, "Isn't this all thanks to my daughter's good fortune? She's carrying a child for your Cheng Family. Your daughter-in-law can't have children, but my daughter is amazing!"
Old Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Remember to bring that child to me for a look. If he's suitable, register him under Feng Jiao's name."
Mother Feng nodded with a smile, and a group of people went inside. Cheng Xiao was startled; he had never intended to invite either set of parents.
Because if their family knew about this, they definitely wouldn't agree.
He planned to act first and inform them later, figuring that since he had married Feng Caigu, they wouldn't say anything. But then, someone invited them over.
Cheng Xiao was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Father, Mother, why are you here?"
Old Madam Cheng laughed and said, "Isn't today your day for taking a concubine? You specially invited us here to watch the excitement. Xiao'er, I heard you already have a son. Our Cheng Family finally has an heir."
