Chapter 98: EXTRA: A Record of the Wedding
Shen Qingqiu fanned himself as he walked. He had walked for a short distance before suddenly realizing that the clingy man who had been right behind him the whole trip had fallen behind. He turned his head to look back.
Luo Binghe stood in place, lost in thought as he gazed at something.
"Binghe? What are you looking at?" asked Shen Qingqiu, surprised.
Only then did Luo Binghe return to his senses. He had a faintly dazed expression as he replied, "Shizun, I..."
Shen Qingqiu's bafflement increased. He walked back, looking in the direction Luo Binghe had been gazing at before. The only thing he could see was an average-sized residence, surrounded by a group of noisy and lively people. They were all crowding around the two people dressed from head to toe in bright red, making it impossible to see the faces of the newlyweds as they walked into the residence's courtyard amidst the clamoring voices.
Since the streets were already noisy, he hadn't noticed at all that there had been a couple getting married there.
At the main gate of the residence remained two young servant girls, each one standing with a basket filled with sweets1 to give to passersby. They called out in clear and sharp voices, "Share in the happiness!" "Share in the happiness!"
Shen Qingqiu's first thought was a complete killjoy, "Is the groom's household haunted?"
Yet no matter how he looked at it he couldn't detect anything abnormal in the place. He was about to question him further when Luo Binghe set off on his own towards the house. The two young servants had never before seen such a handsome man. They were both so stupefied when they raised their heads that they completely forgot to hand out the sweets. Still, Luo Binghe calmly took some from the girls himself.
Having finally gotten the wedding sweets, Luo Binghe was completely satisfied as he returned to Shen Qingqiu's side. He said, "Let's go, Shizun."
Shen Qingqiu nodded.
