The wedding
Su Ziyang mailed the finished pills to his cousin.
Ten days later, Su Ziyang finally received four hundred yuan from his cousin.
After work, Su Ziyang and Fairy Li had dinner together.
As time went by, Su Ziyang and Fairy Li's parents met, got engaged, and set a wedding date.
Actually, the date was chosen long ago.
It was chosen by Fairy Li's master.
That evening, Su Ziyang sat next to Fairy Li, finalizing the selection of people to be notified of the wedding.
"Zijun, who are your friends that you want to tell them?"
Su Ziyang wrote down the names of some friends on the list.
My college roommate, two close high school classmates, and two childhood friends from my hometown.
I don't have many friends, but the friendships I have with them are all genuine.
"Let me think... my high school classmates, my college roommates, maybe four or five people, that's about it. I've transferred schools a lot, so I don't have many classmates or friends."
Fairy Li wrote down several names.
"Well, the rest are family relatives. I don't know what my parents have arranged."
Fairy Li pouted, pondering with her pen in hand.
"Let them handle their own affairs; we just need to do our job well."
"Yes, that's right! I haven't been home for many years, and I'm not very familiar with many of my relatives and friends anymore."
Fairy Li nodded.
Su Ziyang's profession is unusual, unlike Fairy Li's job which is more flexible, so the two could only squeeze in time to take wedding photos.
You can't keep asking for leave.
This isn't about whether the Daoist Medicine Clinic gives fake prescriptions or not; it's about whether they are being responsible to their patients.
The patient has come for a follow-up appointment; you can't always be absent.
Moreover, Su Ziyang still has a large number of patients, including many acupuncture patients.
As Su Ziyang's acupuncture patients increased, the Daoist Medicine Clinic specially arranged an acupuncture treatment room for Su Ziyang.
I've been preparing for all the little things.
Time flies, and the wedding day has arrived.
The night before, Su Ziyang was a little nervous. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
Of the college roommates, only Ma Jun came over. A high school classmate named Dapeng and two of Su Ziyang's childhood friends had been helping Su Ziyang set up and tidy up his house for the past two days.
According to the customs of Su Ziyang's family, if the bride is a local, then they need to go to fetch her, which means getting up very early in the morning.
However, since Fairy Li's family was from out of town, Fairy Li room was set up upstairs from the wedding banquet hall.
Fairy Li's two older brothers, her parents, and two of Fairy Li friends, Daoist Master Xiao Yang and another girl whom Su Ziyang had never seen before, were inside the house keeping Fairy Li company and blocking the door.
"Picking up the bride, stealing the bridesmaids!!!"
Su Ziyang, carrying flowers, went upstairs to greet Fairy Li, surrounded by a group of people.
After stuffing in quite a few pre-prepared red envelopes, Daoist Master Xiao Yang finally opened the door.
"We'll be welcoming the bride with civility and courtesy. We've prepared some games. Only after you pass all the challenges can you marry your bride."
A particularly fair-skinned girl standing next to Daoist Master Xiao Yang said this.
"Alright! Come on then!"
Ma Jun cheered from the sidelines!
The first game: whatever you pick, you drink!
A group of people drew lots.
The more defiant Ma Jun was just moments ago, the more miserable he is now.
Ma Jun nearly vomited before he'd even finished half a large bottle of iced tea.
Ma Jun is alright; at least this stuff is sweet.
Dapeng drew a small bottle of mustard oil, took two big gulps, then snatched Ma Jun's iced tea and chugdled it down...
Those watching the commotion all burst into laughter...
!!!
After finally getting through the checkpoint, Daoist Master Xiao Yang and a fair-skinned girl stopped Su Ziyang.
"Su Ziyang, do you love Zijun?"
Daoist Master Xiao Yang asked with a smile.
"Like."
Su Ziyang was still somewhat shy.
"Look at this person, he's blushing! Hahaha!"
The group started jeering again.
"Will you bully Zijun in the future?!"
The fair-skinned girl then asked.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Su Ziyang grinned.
I bet you wouldn't dare!
"One last question: who will be in charge of the family from now on?"
Daoist Master Xiao Yang asked.
"She makes the decisions on small matters!"
Su Ziyang thought about it carefully.
"What do you mean? You're in charge of these important matters!"
The fair-skinned girl glared at him.
"Nothing serious has happened in our family!"
Hahaha! Aww--
As soon as Su Ziyang finished speaking, the crowd started to jeer again.
Fairy Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.
After picking up the bride and bringing her downstairs, the wedding ceremony was still underway in the banquet hall.
Their wedding was a bit special.
Fairy Li grew up in a Daoist temple.
The witnesses were Fairy Li's master and Su Ziyang's master.
Fairy Li's master stood on the stage with an air of otherworldly elegance, and from a distance, his aura was even stronger than that of Mr. Mengfei.
Marriage certificate--
This was something special written by Fairy Li's master, something Su Ziyang had never seen before.
It says on it:
A marriage certificate was presented to the Heavenly Court.
It resounds in the heavens above and echoes in the underworld below.
This message was reported to all the saints and communicated throughout the Three Realms, with all the ancestral masters of the heavens bearing witness.
Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon share the same heart.
To betray a beautiful woman is to defy Heaven.
If one betrays a beautiful woman, it goes against the will of Heaven.
The crime of deceiving Heaven is punishable by death and the annihilation of one's moral character.
After saying a few words, Fairy Li's master handed over the main stage to Mr. Mengfei.
Wishing the newlyweds a long and happy marriage and many children.
Mr. Mengfei, who is usually fond of joking, said two words of blessing very solemnly.
After the wedding ceremony, it's time for each table to offer toasts.
Su Ziyang has quite a few relatives, and Fairy Li also has some relatives visiting.
When newlyweds toast each other at the table, they use tea instead of alcohol.
Su Ziyang toasted each table, while Fairy Li's side had a manager who began introducing the people at the table.
After paying respects to her family, Su Ziyang called out to everyone.
These relatives were incredibly talkative; they forced Su Ziyang Su Ziyang drink two large pots of tea, leaving him completely bewildered.
My master has given me a second chance at life.
After Su Ziyang finished toasting his wife's family, the next person he toasted was his master's table.
Fairy Li's master, Mr. Mengfei, Yang Tianzheng, Old Daoist Master Xiao...
Unfortunately, Daoist Jin was not there.
When toasting, Su Ziyang saw his teacher's wife, a woman who looked like a fairy.
"Ziyang, Zijun, congratulations to you both! May you have a baby soon!"
While toasting his mentors one by one, Su Ziyang glanced unintentionally at the door.
I'm not sure if it's the effect of the lobby lighting.
Su Ziyang saw a figure in the light and shadow, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was Daoist Jin, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Daoist Jin gave Su Ziyang a knowing smile.
When Su Ziyang tried to get a clearer look, the figure had already disappeared.
"What are you looking at, Ziyang?"
Yang Tianzheng nudged Su Ziyang.
"I think I'm seeing things. I think I just saw Master Jin."
"He won't forget you when you get married..."
Mr. Mengfei muttered something unrelated to the main point.
After completing the entire process, Su Ziyang's back was covered in sweat...
The wedding finally ended, and they went to their bridal chamber that night.
Su Ziyang lay in bed, unusually not practicing his martial arts.
"You must be exhausted today..."
Are you tired?
"I'm fine."
"And you?"
"I'm doing alright too."
A year later, Su Ziyang's son was born.
Fairy Li gave it a particularly beautiful name.
Su Qing.
When Su Ziyang's son celebrated his one-month birthday, Sister Bing surprisingly brought her own twins to offer her congratulations.
After Sister Bing and her husband took Su Ziyang's medicine, they became pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.
The guests all left in the evening.
Su Ziyang held his son and whispered to him.
"My Xiaobao, Daddy has something to tell you. When you grow up, you must carry on the legacy of the sages."
"Can he understand me, brother?"
Fairy Li rolled her eyes at Su Ziyang.
Whether you understand or not, I've already said it...
After the full-month celebration, Su Ziyang returned to the clinic to continue his rounds.
The story of the Daoist Medicine Clinic continues...
Traditional Chinese medicine continues to progress and develop...
May the medical profession of our motherland prosper.
