"Holy crap, how do I escape his pursuit?"
Huang Su was like an ant on a hot pan, looking extremely anxious.
On this large ship, there's nowhere to hide, even if you wanted to.
In desperation, he could only hold his breath and dare not move easily, like an ostrich burying itself in the darkness, praying that the Golden Core Realm expert would not discover him.
After an unknown amount of time, Huang Su could hear the steam engine whirring as the large ship started moving, but the anticipated crisis did not materialize.
[Congratulations, host, on surviving an SSS-level danger. Reward...]
Just then, a notification sounded in Huang Su's mind.
………………
Renjia Town.
The Xiao residence was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and large red "double happiness" characters were pasted on the gate.
Dressed in his finest attire, Xiao Ning rode a tall horse and, amidst a cacophony of music, arrived at the nearby Ren residence. He then used an eight-bearer sedan chair to fetch his bride, Ren Tingting, and carried her back to the Xiao residence.
At the auspicious hour, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the bride and groom performed the wedding ceremony.
First bow to Heaven and Earth.
Second bow to the parents.
The husband and wife bow to each other.
After bowing three times, under the watchful eyes of all the guests filled with blessings, Xiao Ning took Ren Tingting's hand and returned to their new home.
Inside the bridal chamber, festive decorations were everywhere. Ren Tingting, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sat quietly on the edge of the bed.
As evening fell and the guests departed, Xiao Ning entered. Seeing the girl sitting quietly, he smiled and gently pulled down the red veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
"Tingting...you look so beautiful today!"
Looking at the shy young girl, Xiao Ning smiled.
"Brother Xiao... my husband, Tingting is finally married to you! Tingting is so happy!"
Ren Tingting looked at Xiao Ning in front of her, her heart filled with joy, her smile carrying a hint of sweetness and shyness.
"Yes, Tingting, I've finally married you. Come to think of it, I should start calling you my wife now!"
Xiao Ning extended a finger, lifted the girl's chin, and said gently.
"My husband can call me 'wife' or 'Tingting' if he wants!"
Ren Tingting blushed and gently closed her eyes, but her trembling eyelashes revealed her inner turmoil.
Perhaps knowing what was about to happen, she felt a mixture of anticipation and fear.
On the eve of each young woman's marriage, there were specialists who taught her the art of the bedroom. Unfortunately, this fine tradition was lost a century later.
Moreover, many people are already very skilled at using it without any formal instruction.
"Well, let's not talk about that anymore. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Let's not waste this beautiful time. Let's rest!"
Xiao Ning sat down, hugged Ren Tingting in his arms, breathed into her ear, and whispered something.
"Um!"
Ren Tingting blinked and responded shyly.
"call!"
A gentle breeze swept by, and all the lights went out.
………
(Ten thousand words omitted here; please fill in the blanks with your own imagination!)
………
At this time, it had been thirtieth day since Xiao Ning transmigrated. After going through the formalities of marriage proposals, the auspicious day he had chosen finally arrived. He hired an eight-bearer sedan chair and married Ren Tingting in a proper ceremony.
This is Xiao Ning's first marriage in her more than fifty years of life, though she doesn't know if it will be her last.
To be honest, Xiao Ning was extremely flustered. Fortunately, Ren Fa knew that he had no relatives on his side, and the wedding arrangements would be handled entirely by Ren Fa, his father-in-law, so he didn't need to worry about it.
The next day, the new bride, Ren Tingting, endured her physical discomfort and forced herself to get out of bed to help her husband get dressed and wash up, and to take care of the housework.
Since they didn't have to serve their parents-in-law the first cup of tea, the couple sat in the living room leisurely drinking tea after getting up and having breakfast.
Xiao Ning turned to Ren Tingting, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Tingting, you'll be in charge of this household from now on!"
According to Chinese tradition, after marriage, women are responsible for domestic affairs while men are responsible for external affairs. Therefore, he acted in this way.
"Husband, I've never managed a household before, is this alright?"
Ren Tingting had her hair styled in a bun, no longer dressed as a young girl. She wore a sky-blue dress that exuded elegance and nobility.
Xiao Ning laughed and said, "If you don't know how, you can learn slowly. Nobody is born knowing everything! Besides, Lord Taishan gave so much dowry. If he doesn't let you manage the household, do you expect me to?"
Ren Fa only had one daughter and no sons, so he naturally doted on his only daughter. When she got married, the dowry he gave her was so generous that it was astonishing.
The property includes three shops in the provincial capital, a two-courtyard house, a street in Renjia Town, a hundred acres of fertile land, two thousand silver dollars, and a pile of cultural artifacts and antiques.
