Time flew by, and several months passed.
Peach Garden Academy, a thousand meters of colorful ribbons, ten thousand meters of peach red silk.
Every Peach blossom tree and red maple tree was meticulously adorned with crimson silk ribbons and tiny silver bells. Petal-shaped lanterns hung from the branches, and a warm, yellow glow filtered through the thin gauze, illuminating the area for the wedding ceremony beneath the trees with a hazy, gentle light.
Even the window lattices on both sides of the school building were covered with gold-flecked double happiness characters, and the peach lanterns hanging from the eaves made the upturned corners of the roof gleam.
In front of the Red Maple Schoolhouse in the outer courtyard, mountains of gold coins were piled up, exquisitely arranged. There were several pairs of dragon and Phoenix auspicious jade ruyi scepters, and boxes upon boxes of pearls and silver ornaments were dazzling. In the very center, there were even two Spirit Bones, all gifts prepared by Teacher Su for his Disciple.
As it was the wedding of the Academy's top Disciple, Teacher Su Ran also attached great importance to it, directly arranging the Red Maple Schoolhouse and the hundred-acre Peach blossom forest outside as the wedding venue for Wang Sheng.
Upon learning of Senior Brother Wang Sheng's wedding, even Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu, the administrators of Slaughter City, as well as Zhu Zhuqing, who was fighting for her Family, rushed back to attend the wedding.
They gave Slaughter City three days off. During these three days, the residents of Slaughter City only needed to passionately shout to the sky:
"Ah~ Wishing Senior Brother Wang Sheng a happy new marriage and a hundred years of harmony!"
And the citizens would receive free food supplies, with the entire city celebrating!
...
The villagers and neighbors around the Academy were also able to come and observe the ceremony. Peach Garden Academy was now the best Academy in Soto City, and they had long wanted to see it. Unfortunately, Peach Garden Academy, despite its beautiful scenery, never allowed outsiders to enter and enjoy the flowers. Taking advantage of this joyous occasion, everyone finally got to feast their eyes.
Especially upon seeing the girls of the Academy, each one so beautiful as to make the moon hide and flowers blush, and fish sink and wild geese fall, the village's aunts and grandmothers, one after another, all wanted to find suitable matches for the Academy's girls:
"Girls will get married sooner or later."
"It's better to marry well than to practice the Dao of a Spirit Master well. There's a girl in our village who married a Spirit Ancestor expert. Not only is he a talented man, but the Empire and Spirit Hall subsidize so many gold coins every year, and they can eat meat every meal! What a good life!"
"Hey, by the way, are those piles of gold coins as high as a small mountain that you put in the center fake? Oh my, I've never seen so much gold in my life."
"How did this girl Xuan Cao get so lucky? Are these all the groom's betrothal gifts? Oh my goodness, so much gold, silver, and jewels, it'll take eighteen lifetimes to spend it all!"
"I heard these were all prepared by your Teacher? Your Teacher is so rich. Is your Teacher married? How old is he? Is this Academy all your Teacher's? Does he have a partner? There's a girl named Cuihua in our village, she's really pretty, do you want to..."
"No, no, no!!! Aunts, Teacher is dedicated to teaching and educating people, and he has no plans to get married yet!!"
"Oh, teaching and educating people, the key is to educate people.
Everyone gets married and has children, right? Maybe your Teacher just hasn't met the right person. Go ask around, I, Old Woman Wang, am a famous matchmaker within ten miles and eight villages, I can definitely help your Teacher find a suitable match!"
"By the way, what does your Teacher look like? The ceremony is about to begin, he's the officiant, right?"
"I heard the Teacher of Peach Garden Academy is still very young, truly excellent, to be able to cultivate so many beautiful young girls."
The girls of the Academy also experienced the fear of ordinary folk elders pressuring them to marry for the first time.
Regarding the remarks of these aunts and grandmothers, they could only smile helplessly and dared not argue, lest they spoil Senior Brother Wang Sheng's joyous occasion.
However, you aunts, do you think we don't want to get married?!
We dare to marry, but does Teacher dare to marry?!
...
As dusk gradually fell, the wedding procession outside the school gate entered the Academy joyfully amidst the sound of gongs and drums.
On the stage amidst the maple trees, the melodious harmony of Dragon and Phoenix began to sound. Tang Yuehua's graceful figure danced and played music among the maple leaves, exuding elegance and beauty, truly worthy of being a royal musician.
The bride was slender, wearing a red veil, beneath which was a delicate face, but her blush and red lips, combined with the lighting, made her appear radiant today.
Wang Sheng was dressed in a Han-style groom's attire. A large, red brocade ribbon, adorned with flying dragons and dancing Phoenixes, was held between him and the bride, leading the bride through the school gate, over a brazier, and to the front of the Red Maple Schoolhouse. He first bowed to both sets of parents, then slightly cupped his hands to his Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, and the onlookers:
"Everyone, this is my first marriage. Please bear with any shortcomings in the arrangements."
"Hey? Senior Brother Wang Sheng, how many times do you plan to get married?" Xiao Chenyu grabbed a handful of melon seeds nearby, cracking them while teasing with a grin.
