A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 100 One Glance, A Promise of Ten Thousand Years (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
At the third quarter of the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), prosperity and offspring will flourish.

A wedding procession, accompanied by music and fanfare, headed to Baifulou on Dongshi Street.

Li Weizhou, riding a tall horse, dressed in his groom's attire and adorned with red ribbons, felt a slight sense of shame...

However, he was so handsome that he attracted many wives and young women to stop and point at him along the way, with laughter and teasing echoing everywhere.

Brothers Li Changping and Li Chang'an, accompanied by their servants, friends, and subordinates, arrived at Baifulou in a grand sedan chair carried by eight bearers, amidst laughter and merriment.

"Crack!"

"Crackling! Crackling!"

As soon as the wedding procession arrived at Baifu Tower, the bodyguards from Zhoujia Yide Escort Agency lit a large bundle of green bamboo that had been cut down overnight from Dayuan Mountain, creating a loud commotion.

The bodyguards, including Guan Cheng, had also changed into new clothes and greeted Li Weizhou with clasped hands, calling him "son-in-law!"
Then Guan Cheng called out loudly, "Young master, please wait! Young master, my young lady is still upstairs getting ready, and we don't know when she will be ready. If you wish to see your bride soon, you will need to compose a poem to urge her to get ready."

This is an old rule; even an illiterate person can recite the poem that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Li Weizhou didn't smugly copy a poem; he simply recited it in a proper manner: "The auspicious time has arrived, and my heart is reluctant to leave; let us not linger long before the beautiful lady in the palace. Let us watch the sunset glow on the horizon, and soon go to the chariot to meet our beloved."

The onlookers seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder; they had been waiting for this moment. When Li Weizhou recited it in one breath, they immediately clapped and cheered loudly in excitement.

Li Changping and Li Changan couldn't stop smiling as they tossed malt candy around them...

Guan Cheng smiled, stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said loudly, "Please dismount, son-in-law, and come inside to pay your respects to your father-in-law!"

Li Weizhou wasn't being pretentious; agonizing over whether or not to step on it at this point would only make things awkward for both sides.

However, he only touched it lightly, didn't step on it properly, and dismounted. He even bowed and thanked them. The people from the escort agency seemed genuinely happy.

It seems they believe that the young lady of their escort agency truly hasn't entrusted herself to the wrong person...

The manager of Baifulou came to curry favor, but Li Chang'an dismissed him without any hindrance and entered the lobby on the first floor. The lobby had already been cleaned up and arranged properly.

Zhou Zhixian, a burly man, sat in the center, looking refreshed and smiling.

At this moment, two ladies of good fortune helped the bride, whose head was covered with a red veil, carefully walk down from upstairs.

Li Weizhou was actually more excited than happy, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but grin.

Getting married is quite interesting; such a beautiful girl will become his wife...

It's not that difficult!

After Madam Quanfu led the bride to stand beside Li Weizhou, a head of the security escort agency stepped forward with a tea tray and said with a smile, "Please, son-in-law, serve tea!"

Li Weizhou picked up a cup of tea and offered it to Zhou Zhixian, saying, "Father-in-law, please have some tea."

Zhou Zhixian smiled and accepted the drink, took a sip, and said, "From now on, let us respect and love each other, and grow old together in mutual support."

Li Weizhou solemnly replied, "Please rest assured, Father-in-law."

Madam Quanfu then brought a teacup and handed it to the bride. The bride stepped forward and said in a soft voice, "Father, please have some tea."

hiss.

Those seven words made Li Weizhou's heart clench.

The smiles on the faces of those around them also faded, because the emotions contained in those seven words were too deep and too heavy.

However, everyone still seemed to be having a great time, and they were all looking at Zhou Zhixian with expectant eyes, wondering if this famous镖王 (bodyguard king) would shed tears.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhixian was still holding on, but his voice was full of affection as he replied, "Good, good! Father, have some tea!"

After taking a sip, his tiger-like eyes were filled with the image of his beloved daughter. He carefully instructed her, "After you enter the household, you must work hand in hand with your husband, valuing harmony above all else. You must not be willful or temperamental, nor be jealous or talkative." He paused, then added, "Miss, from now on, you must take good care of yourself."

Zhou Yueniang trembled slightly, curtsied, and said, "Father, I understand."

The sadness of parting between father and daughter in their voices made Li Weizhou feel somewhat guilty, as if he were buying and selling people. He said to Zhou Zhixian, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't let Yueniang suffer or be wronged. I can't beat her anyway..."

After a long silence, the surroundings finally erupted in laughter.

Zhou Zhixian smiled and nodded, saying, "Go ahead, don't miss the auspicious time."

The two ladies, both blessed with good fortune, came over with smiles, offering to help the bride into the sedan chair, but Zhou Yueniang refused to turn around...

Zhou Zhixian could no longer laugh and gently advised, "Moon Lady, it's time to get into the sedan chair."

Second sister-in-law Guo also came up to persuade, "Sister-in-law, we'll all be family from now on. Uncle will be there soon, so we can't delay the auspicious time."

After standing for a while, Zhou Yueniang finally listened to the advice, turned around, and was helped into the sedan chair by Madam Quanfu.

Li Weizhou was moved by what he saw, and then happily escorted the bride out of the house, onto the eight-bearer sedan chair, and then rode back amidst the shouts of the head of the escort agency, "Send the bride out of the house."

On both sides of the road, Chu Mengjun and Yan Xue, dressed as men, were spotted, as was Feng Biwu from Zuixianglou.

Li Weizhou was quite pleased with himself and bowed to the three of them...

……

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Another large pile of bamboo was burned, producing crisp crackling sounds, and even more people gathered in front of the Li family's old house to watch the spectacle.

The best man guided Zhou Yueniang across the brazier, her feet never touching the ground, until they reached the main hall of the house.

Li Delong and Cao Shi were already seated in the center, waiting for the newlyweds to serve tea.

Following a similar process, Li Weizhou led the bride through it all. Li Delong initially felt a mix of emotions, including some sadness, but seeing his nephew's cheerful demeanor, seemingly oblivious to the significance of marriage, he was at a loss for words...

Some even doubted whether this kid would be able to live a proper life... But now was not the time to talk about such things. After saying auspicious words and bowing three times in front of the hall, they were led into the bridal chamber.

……

Li Weizhou entered the bridal chamber with a somewhat wide grin. This room was originally reserved for Li Changning after the expansion, and no one had lived there for many years, but it was kept clean and tidy.

The room was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds were scattered all over the canopy bed.

Xi Mei, along with Xiao Dong, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Bei, waited in the room. When her brother and sister-in-law entered, she giggled and picked up a steamed bun with the auspicious symbol of offspring. After Zhou Yue Niang sat down, Xi Mei brought it to her mouth for her to take a bite, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, are you having children?"

Zhou Yueniang was a little shy, but still responded softly, "Yes."

The little girls were overjoyed, as if they had accomplished something extraordinary.

After feeding the children and grandchildren with steamed buns, Madam Guo called out to Xi Mei and the other young maids and served them longevity noodles.

Guo, always a lively person, suppressed a laugh and said, "There's a special rule about these longevity noodles. After marriage, husband and wife are one. Your life is with him, and his life is with you. You share both glory and misfortune. It's wrong for one to leave the other behind. You two, each eat one noodle, but you mustn't bite it off. If one of you gives up first, it's not bad for yourself, it's bad for the other. If you finish one longevity noodle, I guarantee you'll live a long and healthy life, a hundred years old!"

Remember this well: you absolutely mustn't back away, and you mustn't bite it off. Come on, one for each of you, eat slowly.

Li Weizhou watched as his second sister-in-law winked at him, then handed him one end of a noodle from the bowl, telling him to open his mouth, and then put the other end into the bride's mouth, before calling out, "Groom and bride, let's start eating the longevity noodles."

Although Li Weizhou felt embarrassed, he also found it quite amusing, and started pouting and sucking...

This caused Luo and Guo, the two sisters-in-law, to cover their mouths immediately, then stand together and laugh, not daring to make a sound, their bodies trembling like leaves.

But Li Weizhou's pout was so disgusting that after a while, the two of them couldn't hold back anymore. They laughed until their stomachs cramped, and panting, they supported each other as they walked out and laughed wildly into the distance.

With no one else in the room, Li Weizhou slurped his noodles a little faster, and soon there weren't many left in the bowl. Finally, the noodles were stretched into a straight line. Zhou Yueniang, having clearly realized what was happening, stopped moving...

Li Weizhou's eyes were very bright. He sucked and sucked, but when he got close to the woman's face, he said indistinctly, "Moon Lady, if you're not used to it, just bite it off first. It's okay. If I can marry you, I'll be content to live to be twenty or thirty."

"..."

Zhou Yueniang didn't bite it off, but she didn't dare to move it either.

Li Weizhou blinked, his eyes gleaming with a sly smugness, and continued to slowly suckle, finally pressing his lips lightly against her thin, bright red lips.

It's a little chilly...

This fellow was greedy; he stood there for what seemed like more than ten breaths before Zhou Yueniang finally couldn't hold back any longer and pursed her lips. Only then did he stand up and ask softly, "Yueniang, why do you seem a little unhappy today? Is it because you don't want to marry me?"

How can you not be able to stand it after only a few minutes of kissing!

Then Zhou Yueniang said in a low voice, "No, that's what I thought. Yueniang has known since she was a child that she has a husband."

Upon hearing this, Li Weizhou hurriedly asked, "Then why are you so sad? Standing next to you, I feel like my heart is about to break. Yue Niang, since we are husband and wife, and have vowed to grow old together, if anything happens to you, you must tell me."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yueniang's voice was thick with unshed sorrow as she said, "No, I just... miss Father so much... ah!"

Li Weizhou yanked off the veil from her head, startling her so much that her originally flushed face turned pale, and her eyes filled with unease.

Even though she was skilled in martial arts and had extraordinary courage, she still longed for a good man to accompany her throughout her life, especially at times like this.

But she never expected that her husband, whom she had known since childhood, would suddenly change his attitude...

However, she then saw Li Weizhou holding a hat and urging her, "Quickly, quickly, take off all those things on your head, let's change our clothes and go see your father-in-law!"

"..."

Zhou Yueniang stared blankly up at Li Weizhou, her amber eyes reflecting his every move.

As he removed his hat and clothes, he urged, "Hurry up and change into civilian clothes. When we go out, keep your head down and stay close to me. Let's go and come back quickly!"

The expression on Zhou Yueniang's face was clearly not one of sadness, but rather a mixture of emotion and bewilderment.

Only after Li Weizhou had quickly tidied himself up and couldn't wait to help her take off her clothes did she gently grasp Li Weizhou's wrist and softly say, "No need."

Li Weizhou ignored him and said, "Why not? Life is about being happy. It's only natural for you to miss your father-in-law, after all, you two have depended on each other for so many years. Since that's the case, why can't you go see him? I've already spoken to your father-in-law, and I'm making sure you don't suffer any injustice. If you're with me, at least you won't have to suffer like that. Yueniang, as long as you don't betray me and have me in your heart, I'll go with you no matter what you want to do. Even if it means dying together, I'd be happy to. After all, we've been husband and wife since childhood, our fate was sealed long ago."

I watched movies for half the night last night, trying to learn how to pose.

I spent the rest of the night reading "The Love Bible" to learn some knowledge.

Indeed, the old saying is true; reading is always beneficial.

Isn't this a perfect example of applying what you've learned and speaking it fluently?
You don't even need to think...

Of course, it's also because Zhou Yueniang was so incredibly beautiful after putting on makeup.

Li Weizhou considered himself a tough guy with a strong backbone, and normally it would be impossible for him to say such sycophantic things.

Just kidding, he's not a real simp. Simps never get a good death, pshaw!
But as for the results...

Just look at Zhou Yueniang's hand tightly gripping his arm; her crystal-clear, amber eyes are filled with indescribable emotion.

She stared blankly at Li Weizhou, as if that one glance was enough for her to pledge her love for him forever...

Li Weizhou smiled with relief upon seeing that look in her eyes. Thankfully, the hearts of women in this era could still be warmed...

……

P.S.: The conspiracy theories in the chapter review are a bit heavy-handed. After all, it's a leisurely life, so there won't be too much trouble after marriage. According to the rules of online novels, the marriage should actually take place after four or five million words, but I thought better of it. Sixteen is the prime of youth, time to enjoy life to the fullest and not waste time.

The writing style of this book is also completely different from the previous six books, which makes many longtime readers feel uncomfortable and think that it is not written by the same person.

That's right, otherwise the transformation challenge would have failed, haha!
