Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 50: Buy One Get One Free!

As night fell, the guests gradually dispersed after enjoying the feast. Lu Changsheng also made his way to the bridal chamber, ready for the wedding night.

Standing outside the bridal chamber was a young girl dressed in a light green silk robe, her hair styled into two buns. She had a delicate and charming face with large, clear eyes.

This was Xiao Qing, Lu Miaoyun’s personal maid. She also possessed a spirit root and was a cultivator.

For families like the Lu family, which were part of the cultivation world, they would seek out children with spirit roots in the mundane world to ensure a continuous supply of fresh blood in the family.

Once they found such children, they would be sent to Qingzhu Mountain for training.

However, unless they were particularly gifted, most would be taught skills such as spiritual planting, animal slaughter, culinary arts, winemaking, mining, and other trades within the realm of cultivation.

Compared to skills such as formations, pill refinent, artifact forging, or talismans, these trades had lower entry barriers and were easy to learn, although they were more labor-intensive.

The Lu family’s spiritual fields, bamboo groves, and spiritual mines, which required cultivators for rough and laborious tasks, were typically managed by these adopted children.

As they grew older, most of the n would marry mundane won from the Lu family, while the won would beco concubines to Lu family sons, ensuring internal balance.

Xiao Qing was one of the children raised by the Lu family from a young age and served as Lu Miaoyun’s maid.

If nothing unexpected happened in the future, she would likely be married off to a Lu family son as a concubine.

However, since Lu Miaoyun married Lu Changsheng, Xiao Qing accompanied her as a maid to the new household.

For Lu Changsheng, marrying Lu Miaoyun and receiving a maid with a spirit root as part of the dowry was a pleasant surprise.

“Xiao Qing, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded at the lovely young maid in front of him, then pushed the door open and entered the room.

Inside the room, red lanterns were brightly lit, and the character for “happiness” was plastered on the walls. The room was adorned magnificently.

Lu Miaoyun was dressed in a fiery red wedding gown embroidered with phoenixes, wearing a phoenix crown and veil. She sat gracefully on the bed.

“Yun’er,” Lu Changsheng called out to the beautiful bride in front of him.

Lu Miaoyun did not respond, but her posture on the bed suggested she was sowhat nervous.

“Master,” at that mont, maid Xiao Qing ca forward carrying a tray with a jade rod and a set of drinking vessels.

Though the Lu family was a family of cultivators, they still adhered to so traditional customs.

Lu Changsheng understood the customs, so he picked up the jade rod and gently lifted Lu Miaoyun’s red veil.

Revealed beneath was a gentle and charming face that shone brightly.

Her arched eyebrows, clear eyes, delicate nose, and rosy lips made her quite beautiful, though not as stunning as Lu Miaohuan, she was still very lovely.

She had a sweet and enduring appearance, with a feeling of innocence like a girl next door.

“Husband~” After the veil was lifted, Lu Miaoyun’s long eyelashes quivered slightly. Her pretty face blushed with a hint of shyness, and she called out sweetly in a soft, endearing voice.

Although her personality was not as shy and timid as Qu Zhenzhen’s, nor was she bold and confident, she was still not the type to be completely composed.

Moreover, she was a young woman who had only t Lu Changsheng once before their engagent was decided. On the night of their wedding, how could she be entirely composed?

Lu Changsheng smiled, picked up the wine pot from the tray, poured a cup of spirit wine for Lu Miaoyun, and then poured himself a cup.

Lu Changsheng spoke aloud, “Yun’er, today we beco husband and wife. From now on, we shall walk through life together. Co, let us drink this cup to the fullest.”

“Please guide through our life together, dear husband,” Lu Miaoyun replied with a hint of blush, gazing at the young man in front of her.

Then they toasted and drank the cup.

“Congratulations to the master and the lady. May you have a harmonious union and a fruitful marriage,” said the maid Xiao Qing crisply.

After taking the cups away, she bowed and left the room, closing the door behind her, leaving the newlyweds alone.

After drinking the wedding toast, Lu Changsheng imdiately felt a heat in his lower abdon and realized there was sothing wrong with the wine.

Lu Miaoyun’s face also glowed with a rosy hue, her face resembling a peach blossom.

In the room, the sound of their breathing beca exceptionally clear at this mont.

Lu Changsheng knew without a doubt that the wine they just drank was likely specially prepared by the Lu family to liven up the wedding night.

He took the petite bride into his arms and said, “Yun’er, it’s ti to rest.”

“Hmm~ husband, the lights are still on…” Lu Miaoyun moaned softly.

“It’s fine. This way, I can see clearly.”

That year, Lu Changsheng was twenty-two years old.

He had five wives, six concubines, and two favored maids, as well as a personal maid.

The next morning, bright sunlight stread through the windows and fell upon the room, illuminating the ssy red bridal robe and fiery wedding dress on the floor.

When Lu Changsheng woke up, he saw the jade-like beauty in his arms with her hair in disarray and tear stains still visible at the corners of her eyes.

He felt invigorated and refreshed, with no sign of fatigue.

Looking at Lu Miaoyun’s delicate and pitiful appearance, he thought about the events of the previous night and noted that his young wife had been quite obedient and well-behaved, without any hint of a spoiled attitude.

He couldn’t help but give her rosy cheek a soft kiss.

This small gesture imdiately awakened Lu Miaoyun, who opened her eyes and called out softly to Lu Changsheng.

“Husband~”

Her voice was gentle and sweet, stirring so affection in Lu Changsheng’s heart.

He gently pinched her fair, rosy cheek and said softly, “It’s still early; you should rest so more.”

“I have to go see Grandma later.”

Lu Miaoyun rubbed her sleepy eyes but did not fall back asleep. Instead, she tried to get up.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly helped his wife.

However, Lu Miaoyun had cultivation at the Qi Refining Fourth Stage, which made her physically stronger than an ordinary person.

Lu Changsheng had been sowhat sensible the previous night, ensuring that she could still get up and move around this morning.

Moreover, the spirit wine had so beneficial effects on her as well.

The two of them then got up and dressed.

Lu Miaoyun quickly picked up the handkerchief and placed it into a nearby embroidered box.

Lu Changsheng smiled at the sight.

After the two of them tidied up, they left the room to go and pay their respects to the fourth elder.

“Master, Miss,” the maid Xiao Qing was standing outside the door, obviously having stayed awake all night.

“Xiao Qing, I told you before, you don’t have to stand guard. Go get so rest,” Lu Miaoyun said to the maid.

Maidservants like Xiao Qing, who possessed a spirit root, were not just there to serve; they also spent their ti helping out with chores and learning new things.

It would be a waste to use her simply as a servant.

“Miss, I’m not tired,” Xiao Qing said with a gentle smile. Her voice was clear and crisp, akin to that of a yellow warbler.

She possessed a ninth-grade spirit root and was currently at the Qi Refining Second Stage, giving her more energy than an ordinary person.

Lu Miaoyun didn’t say much more about it and, holding hands with Lu Changsheng, left the estate to visit the fourth elder’s residence.
