Chapter 227.1: Two Marriages

Regardless whether it’s doubt or understanding, in two days, Sun Yi Lin will be leaving the capital. Prior to leaving, he came to see Sun Yi Jia. Seeing that his spirit was still pretty good, and towards leaving the capital to an outer post, he seemingly even carried a bit of delight.

As such, Sun Yi Jia actually didn’t dissuade him either. Just, must he leave this hastily? There was still three months until the new year, can’t he just take the new post after the new year? Sun Yi Lin shook his head. He could sense that someone wanted to let him leave. Although he didn’t know specifically who, leaving the capital, for him, wasn’t necessary not a good thing. This piece of land made him feel oppressed and painful. Although because she was here, among the oppression and pain, it still carried a trace of sweetness, and being farther away would only increase his longing, but he really needed to do something to divert his attention.

Prior to meeting Jing Wan, his life aspiration was the country, the world. Jing Wan’s appearance made his life have an extra trace of another kind of color, coming suddenly, and also losing too quickly. He had no choice but to have it buried, letting it ache again and again in the bottom of his heart. Don’t know in the future, whether or not there will another person that can have it dug out.

He’d muddily passed his days for a period of time, and afterwards, suddenly thought, if he were to just collapse in one fall, achieving nothing, dying out from the mass, then some day when she speak of him again, there will only be head shakes and sighs remaining, feeling extremely disappointed, and afterwards, thoroughly be forgotten, not leaving behind a trace. He just felt his heart getting ruthlessly grasped, not wanting to be forgotten by her. Even if he can’t enter her side, still need to let her know of his existence at all times. He needed to be enough outstanding, standing in a sufficiently high position.

Sun Yi Lin wasn’t one to bury everything for love to begin with either.

Just, right now, there was an extra reason for him to be even more ambitious.

Sun Yi Lin didn’t mention Jing Wan, but Sun Yi Jia saw from his eyes the difficult to cover up sentiments, making her once again soften, wanting to call Jing Wan out to meet him. But, in the end, she still restrained herself. She similarly didn’t like men being fickle, but if it’s her own older brother, that infatuation trapping him, making him unable to walk out, and because of the unbearable pain of being unable to obtain, she would rather he be a bit more fickle. Say, that nest of men in the Ding Duke Manor, from grandfather to father, then to the other brothers, which one wasn’t frivolous, how come just produced such an oddity?

Sun Yi Jia in a moment of carelessness just had these words muttered out. Sun Yi Lin laughed, “If really fickle and frivolous, younger sister, you, probably won’t be close with fifth brother at all. Alright, I’ll be going back. When leaving, don’t think about sending me off either. After I settle down on that side, I’ll write to you.”

Sun Yi Jia somewhat tearfully had Sun Yi Lin sent off.

Afterwards, the next day, Sun Yi Lin just soundlessly left the capital. If there’s no mishap, then it’ll be at least three years before he returns to the capital.

That moment when Jing Wan learned of the news, don’t know what kind of feeling it was, not easy to describe.

Afterwards, it was Chen Zheng Min’s wedding. The Luo family actually very much gave face, and for the most part, all went. However, no one went to the bridal chambers. Moreover, at the time, he’d helped Luo Jing Bo hold the lines when welcoming the bride, yet this time he didn’t call for the Luo family brothers to help. Precisely speaking, in the bride escorting squad, aside from those few necessary people, it was just him alone, so the bride escorting squad appeared very empty. This branch of theirs perhaps wasn’t considered wealthy, but it still wasn’t to this degree. That was truly and honestly having the dislike displayed on the surface.

Jing Wan fell silent, not knowing what she should say, or perhaps shouldn’t say anything at all.

Wedding banquets were called ‘happy banquets’. Because truly happy, the atmosphere would thus be lively. And for the people that came to the Chen family, majority all knew what had happened, especially the people of the Chen family themselves, all having a stiff expression. And not having a single smiling face, that just further didn’t need to be mentioned.

(T/N: Rephrased the first line to translate better, but the word for wedding banquet in chinese is ??, which literally translates to ‘happy/joyous banquet’.)

This kind of wedding banquet might as well not attend.

The bride escort squad returned much earlier than anticipated, most likely Cheng Junwang Manor, no wait, right now, it was seemingly the Cheng Duke Manor, and compared to the original manor, it was much smaller, and probably just didn’t have anymore blocking the door. If one blocks, what if by chance the groom just puts down the load and quits? That would really be utterly losing all face. Don’t look at how the Cheng Duke Manor’s background was strong, this marriage having been dragged out to today, just very much illustrated the problem, for instance, Le Cheng Emperor’s inaction, the Empress’s inaction, and the Ding Duke Manor’s inaction. That was just an empty shell holding onto the title of a duke.

When the bride entered, everyone discovered, she seemingly was even staggering as she walked. And the groom, Chen Zheng Min, was completely expressionless, holding one end of the red silk walking in front, completely disregarding the bride.

Jing Wan looked to Li Ru Yu covered in the veil and frowned. Her entire person had all wasted away quite a lot. That waist really was just the width of two hands. In these last few months, there all weren’t the slightest news about her, most likely living very miserably. Recalling the first time meeting her, she was also in a body of red, rude and ostentatious, brandishing her whip with vigorous power. Now…………

Forget it, Jing Wan was aware that she didn’t have the right to meddle in other people’s business. Also, while clearly knowing that Chen Zheng Min’s feelings were on her, yet still going to console him, letting him properly live out his days, this was actually a very cruel thing. And in the current societal environment, it was also very inappropriate. The best way was just to stay far far away, each not having anything to do with one another.

The next day, Jing Wan finally heard, Chen Zheng Min going to escort the bride really was more or less just as she’d imagined it to be, and on the Cheng Duke Manor’s side, reportedly, not that many families went. Even the Ding Duke Manor just sent someone to deliver the gifts that were very much conforming with etiquette. And the tables and tables of wedding feast that was prepared probably all didn’t have anyone. Additionally, the son-in-law wasn’t respectful in the slightest, even the act on the surface all very half-hearted. The Cheng Duke’s blue veins violently bulged in anger, very much wanting to beat up Chen Zheng Min. Unfortunately, Chen Zheng Min was also very shameless, even wishing that the Cheng Duke would beat him. That way, he can just directly leave, don’t even need to pick up the person anymore. His madam directly shed tears, having him stopped with great difficulty.

Whenever Chen Zheng Min’s temper hardens, it also very much made one headache.

The days after rather neither colorfully nor dully passed by, occasionally participating in various families’ chrysanthemum banquets. Speaking of which, it was still the Head Cabinet Minister’s home that had the most chrysanthemums, and the most complete breeds. In past years, when it came time to bloom, he didn’t bring them out any less to let others covet. Only this year, up until now, there weren’t any movements at all. Then again, the Ruan family this year had been tossed about in the rain. Never mind flower admiring banquets, even the other birthday banquets and such, not a single one was held.

However, the usually ‘stingy’ Head Cabinet Minister, reportedly, gave the Head Minister of Appointments, Sir Luo, several pots of famous chrysanthemum breeds. After asking around, it was said to be used for making amends, and quite a few people all believed.
