Chapter 768 - 094 Li Mansion Celebration_1
February 6th was a fine day, for it was the wedding day of Jin Lingling and Li Chengzhi, destined to be a day of agony for someone, of course.
As the boss of the largest restaurant in Zhuma Town, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were naturally also on the guest list. To Li Chang, who was aware of Xia Zheng’s identity, having such a figure attend his son’s wedding added brilliance to his face and made him beam with pride.
After all, Li Chang was the County Magistrate, and his household’s celebration could hardly lack attendees. Nearly everyone of high standing in town was present. Putting aside Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop, as the bride’s family, Meng Family Wine House and Ma family Manor had sent people as well, and of course, the newly risen Liu Limin was also among the invited.
As a male guest, Xia Zheng naturally could not go to the back courtyard. Upon entering the second gate, a young servant led him to the men’s area, while Lin Yuan, no stranger to the Li Mansion, smiled, bid Xia Zheng farewell, and was guided to the back courtyard by a maid.
Early in the morning, Li Chengzhi had set off with the wedding procession to fetch the bride from the Jin family. At this moment, they should still be on their way back. Lin Yuan was not very familiar with the groom’s side of the guests, her only acquaintances being from the Jin family, Ma family, and the Meng family. Unfortunately, the young ladies from these families were still at the Jin family’s and had not yet arrived.
Meng Chunyan and Ma Xiaonan, being Jin Lingling’s friends, naturally were there to send off their dear sister. Jin Yuyu, on the other hand, did not wish to join in on the excitement, but as the bride’s first cousin, it would be inappropriate for her to leave.
Perhaps noticing Lin Yuan’s boredom, Lady Jin’s head maid specifically invited her to sit with Lady Jin. As the prospective mother-in-law, Lady Jin was undoubtedly very busy, so Lin Yuan naturally would not go over to cause trouble at this time. She politely declined Lady Jin’s invitation and sat drinking tea in the flower hall.
Cup after cup of tea did nothing to alleviate her boredom. The other guests were mostly family members, either elderly or women with children. A young lady like herself really had nothing in common with them to discuss.
Moreover, because they did not know Lin Yuan’s status, they didn’t dare to rashly approach her for conversation, and seeing that she was unaccompanied by adults, they even thought she was just a young lady who had come over to play.
