The road is filled with fragrance from the BMW and carved carriages, the sound of phoenix flutes is heard, the light of jade pots is turning, and fish and dragons are dancing all night.
At first, the people in the capital thought that Zhang Yuan's wedding would be a scene of numerous nobles, elegant clothes, and jewels. After all, with the style of the Zhu family, the Duke of Zhao's mansion, and the extravagance of Miss Zhu, there would always be many nobles and even civil servants who would give face to Zhang Shou, a nouveau riche, and go to Zhang Yuan to join in the fun.
The roads were filled with BMWs and luxury cars, and there was music and dancing all night long; that was as it should be, just like the festive scene that lasted all night long at the Zhao Mansion. People who had previously been to the Zhao Mansion and Zhu's family to attend Zhu Tingfang's wedding even claimed that this time the Zhao Mansion's daughter's wedding was even more grand than the previous marriage of a daughter-in-law.
However, the biggest news in Zhang Garden that night was not the nobles who went out of their way to give face to Zhang Shou, such as Zhang Kang, the Earl of Weinan, and Zhang Qiong, the Earl of Xiangyang, nor was it Zhang Shou's students who were of noble birth and increasingly famous, but rather the famous scholars and wise men from all over the country and their students.
These guests, who were also quite famous in the literati circle, occupied a total of thirty tables, and more than half of them promised on the spot that they would go to the public school to give lectures, or even stay there to teach for a while. Even though many people said behind his back that it was because the old Grand Tutor Ge Yong personally promoted his closed disciples, and Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan made great contributions, this was Zhang Shou's wedding after all.
Therefore, at this wedding, some people envied the grandness, some secretly cursed the extravagance, some were impressed by the gathering of talented people, and some cursed the drunkards for having ulterior motives and selling dog meat under the guise of mutton, and even secretly despised those followers... But no matter what outsiders said, it could not affect Zhang Shou's night of passion and excitement.
Although he wanted to emulate the carefree life of a king who never held court again after a short night, Zhang Shou was not as diligent as Zhu Tingfang. He could not possibly do such a feat as taking only two and a half days of wedding leave, which added up to only one day. However, when he opened his eyes early in the morning after a deep sleep, he found that there was only a faint fragrance by his pillow, but his newlywed wife was gone.
Just like that beautiful and tender wedding night, it was just a fleeting dream for him.
Just as Zhang Shou half-raised himself and looked around in a daze, he found that the curtain was opened and heard Zhu Ying's crisp voice faintly coming from outside: "Ah Shou seems to be very tired these days, let him sleep a little longer, mother won't mind it anyway. By the way, don't wear those green clothes today, the silver-red robe is very good, since it is newly made, it would be a pity not to wear it."
A woman's low voice reminded Zhang Shou from the side. Zhang Shou couldn't hear it clearly for a moment, but soon, Zhu Ying's clear voice came again.
"Zhan Jin, are you worried that Ah Shou doesn't like to wear red? Hey, just because he rarely wears it doesn't mean he doesn't like it. I know him best, because blue is easy to match, and there are many colors in the same series, so he doesn't have to think about it. If someone really says that he is repeating himself, he will have something to say. Besides, do you expect Ah Liu to know how to match clothes for him? Now that I am here, of course he will listen to me!"
Faced with this domineering statement, Zhang Shou couldn't help but rub his brows. Just as he was about to make a final statement about his taste in color, he heard Ah Liu's weak voice from outside: "The young master seems to have woken up."
