An Yuan served as Luo Anqing's brother from her maternal family to escort her for her wedding.
Anning and Xiao Yuan went because she and Anqing are siblings by birth. Mrs. Luo was unable to go, and if Anning, as Anqing's sister, did not go, the family would not feel at ease.
From Yang City to the Capital, the journey is not close at all, so Anning had to begin preparations days in advance.
Traveling in ancient times was quite troublesome, as one needed to bring plenty of necessities, food, and supplies. Otherwise, if you find yourself in a remote area with no village ahead or shop behind, you'll be in a real predicament.
Luckily, Anning had experience and prepared very thoroughly.
When Anning was ready, the group from the Cong Family in the Capital also arrived for the wedding procession.
Cong Zhongbai invited a clan brother of his to lead the group. His clan brother reached Yang City, stayed only for one night, and started the journey the next day.
