Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Having You is Enough_1 Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Having You is Enough_1 Xiao Changyi had gone off to join the army when both Lin Anjing and Shi Xiaolan were already ten years old, so even though he had not seen Shi Xiaolan since then, Xiao Changyi still had so impression of her.
“Hmm,” Xiao Changyi nodded slightly, “everyone shares the sa surna as you.” After a pause, he asked, “An Village isn’t far, just across the river from the village. Do you want to go see her?”
An Jing shook her head, “No need. She’s her friend, not mine. I’m just a bit emotional.” She sighed, “If it’s fated, we’ll et in the future; if not, then let it be.”
There was no sense in forcing anything.
It wasn’t until Xiao Changyi carried her back to the thatched cottage that An Jing spoke again, “It seems we won’t have any guests for our wedding the day after tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Xiao Changyi settled her onto the bench in the main room.
An Jing looked at him for a long while before tentatively asking, “Your mother’s side… Shouldn’t we inform them?”
Xiao Changyi shook his head, “No need.”
An Jing let out a huge sigh of relief; she truly did not want to have any entanglents with Mrs. Xiao Chen, but it was difficult for her to ask Xiao Changyi to completely break ties with his mother.
“What about the clan leader on your side, are we not even going to notify him?” Asking this question, An Jing was clearly more relaxed than before. Normally, when a clansperson gets married, the Clan Leader would attend the ceremony even if he wasn’t pleased.
“No need.” Xiao Changyi was still firm with those two words. After a pause, he added, “I am marrying into your family.”
An Jing was startled at first but soon burst into laughter, teasing, “That’s truly a great injustice to you, marrying into my family without a single guest, just the two of us.”
Xiao Changyi gazed deeply at her, “Having you is already enough.”
An Jing was moved, thinking to herself that she must be good to her husband, he has done so much for her!
“Then let it be just us. You and .” An Jing took Xiao Changyi’s hand with a smile.
Xiao Changyi nodded, “Mm.”
Typically in the village, when soone got married, the village head would officiate the wedding, and every household would send a representative to attend. Now, since the entire village was ostracizing them and had agreed privately not to attend their wedding, and since the village head clearly stated he would not officiate, it was certain no one would co.
Initially, when An Jing spoke of holding a wedding banquet with up to three tables, she had assud that Mrs. Hongxia’s family and Aunt Liu Hua’s family would co.
However, Mrs. Hongxia had already stated she would not associate with them anymore, and now Aunt Liu Hua wouldn’t co either…
There truly wouldn’t be a single guest.
“Then there’s no need to prepare three tables for the wedding feast, just one will do, just for the two of us. We can save quite a bit of money,” An Jing was very optimistic.
“Mm.” Xiao Changyi had no objections. After pondering for a mont, he asked, “Shall I go to the town tomorrow and hire a wedding matron?”
There needed to be soone to preside over the rites of bowing to heaven and earth, bowing to the high hall, the couple bowing to each other, and escorting them to the bridal chamber.
An Jing understood what he ant but said casually, “There’s no need. When the ti cos, you can do the calling. It can all be done by just the two of us.” After all, they were already living as a family, and the wedding ceremony need not be so complicated.
Xiao Changyi had thought about hiring a cook to prepare a table of feasts for their wedding day, but since An Jing had said that they would handle it alone, he did not bring it up.
These were all minor details; the important thing was that he and she would be joined in marriage the day after tomorrow.
…
The next day, Xiao Changyi went to town again and brought back various ingredients needed for their wedding.
On the day of their wedding, Xiao Changyi and An Jing rose before dawn and were busy until noon, only then was everything for the ceremony ready.
