For the next two days, the Tong Family grew busier by the day. They had their own pigs, and they hadn't slaughtered them all during Tong Tiehu's birthday banquet; this time, they were set to butcher another one. Tong Sanlang also went hunting to replenish their stock for the feast -- they didn't have a lot of silver, so hunting had become a necessary task.
Zhang Family's matriarch was "ill" and hadn't created much fuss. Today, Qiao Xiaomai ranked first in all of Anping Village; even their matriarch, who had held a grudge against her, had no choice but to accept it.
The day before the wedding, Qiao Xiaomai went to the Academy to invite Yang Ye to attend her wedding the next day.
After hearing her recount the chain of events, Yang Ye clucked his tongue, "What a bother... Why does this seem even more complicated than the politics at the Imperial Court?"
"What else can I do when I've set my heart on him?" Qiao Xiaomai felt tired.
