Chapter 49: The Wedding!

After Lu Changsheng’s marriage to Lu Miaoyun was arranged, naturally, all the concubines in his backyard also heard the news.

Even though the atmosphere in the backyard was harmonious, and all the women were virtuous and gentle, hearing such news still made them feel somewhat melancholy and lost.

It wasn’t just because Lu Changsheng was going to marry another woman.

There was also a certain Lu family factor involved.

After all, except for Qu Zhenzhen, all of these women were from the Lu family.

Now that Lu Changsheng’s status in the Lu Family was rising, the Lu Family was marrying a granddaughter of an elder who also had a Spirit Root to Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, it was a formal and legitimate marriage.

Of course, this made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Even though they had different statuses as concubines, they had never distinguished themselves too much, as it was all based on Lu Changsheng’s favor.

However, with the arrival of this elder’s granddaughter, it was easy to guess that she would become the main wife.

“Ladies, rest assured.”

“To all of you, I’ve always treated you equally. Later, I’ll personally arrange a grand wedding for each of you.”

Lu Changsheng could see that his concubines were somewhat unhappy, so he spoke up to comfort them.

These concubines had been with him for many years, had given birth to two children for him, and were now expecting a third.

Of course, there was a certain bond between them.

“Thank you, husband.”

“Husband, we’re fine.”

“The fact that the family is willing to marry Miss Miaoyun to you is also a sign of their appreciation for you.”

Although the women felt a little discouraged and regretful, as if they had missed the chance to make their husband a nobleman, they quickly adjusted and accepted the reality.

Considering Lu Changsheng’s current status and position, as secular women without spiritual roots, they felt somewhat inadequate for him.

To be Lu Changsheng’s concubine was already a fortunate thing.

They were already better than many other sisters, friends, and acquaintances.

Moreover, after so many years together, they had a certain understanding of Lu Changsheng’s character.

They knew that their husband was not a heartless person who would forget his old love for a new one.

That night, Lu Changsheng came to comfort his concubines.

But as if inspired by the events of that night, the concubines were particularly enthusiastic, and all of them joined forces, using all kinds of methods.

Later…

Lying on the bed, Lu Changsheng embraced the concubines and thought to himself.

Indeed, one is influenced by one’s surroundings.

His concubines had never been so cunning before.

In the past few days, they had learned so many tricks from the arrival of Jiu’er and Shui’er brought by Hong Yi.

If this continued every day, how would he be able to handle it?

Eighteen days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The wedding of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun was about to begin.

Unlike Lu Changsheng’s previous two informal weddings, this wedding was very formal and lively.

The entire Qingzhu Mountain was filled with joy, with lanterns hanging everywhere and red lanterns decorating every corner.

That day, Lu Changsheng woke up early.

With the help of two women, he brushed his hair, put on a gold crown, and changed into a red groom’s robe.

Then, wearing a big red flower on his chest, he rode a spiritual horse, led a welcoming team, and beat gongs and drums to the residence of the fourth elder to escort the bridal sedan.

Since both families lived in the Lu family’s Qingzhu Valley, they weren’t far apart. So after Lu Changsheng escorted Lu Miaoyun, who was dressed in a red bridal gown and phoenix crown, into the bridal sedan, they circled the entire Qingzhu Mountain.

Along the way, most of the descendants of the Lu family came to watch the wedding.

“I remember standing here four years ago and seeing Lu Changsheng enter our Lu family as an immortal seedling son-in-law. I never thought that after more than four years, he would marry Miaoyun, our clan sister.”

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought that he would have such a talent for making talismans?”

“Yes, who would have thought that the son-in-law we brought in for breeding would actually have such a talent for making talismans!”

“A mid-level talisman maker! In just over three years, he has become a mid-level talisman master. His talent in making talismans is even better than Eldest Young Lady Miaoge. By marrying Miaoyun to Lu Changsheng, the fourth elder might be grooming him as a successor.”

“By marrying Miaoyun, with the Fourth Elder’s favor in the future, Lu Changsheng can be considered to have a bright future.”

“Lu Changsheng only has a ninth-grade Spirit Root, so there’s no hope for him to build the foundation.”

“Build the foundation? I only have a sixth-grade Spirit Root. With no opportunities, I dare not even hope to build the foundation in this lifetime.”

“But Lu Changsheng has changed a lot. I remember he used to be average looking, but now he’s so handsome.”

“He spends all day with women, he must have practiced some longevity and rejuvenation techniques.”

“If only I had married Lu Changsheng earlier.”

Many descendants of the Lu family sighed and exclaimed as they watched the handsome Lu Changsheng riding a spirit horse and marrying Lu Miaoyun.

In just four and a half years, many of them had seen Lu Changsheng enter the Lu Family as a ‘breeding’ son-in-law, become a talisman apprentice, then a talisman master, move to Qingzhu Valley, and now marry the granddaughter of the fourth elder.

The immortal seedlings who had come to the Lu family with Lu Changsheng sighed with envy, and they felt like they were in a dream when they saw Lu Changsheng on the spirit horse.

Back then, they had all been eliminated by the Blue Cloud Clan and had come to the Lu Family as son-in-laws.

Now, four and a half years later, they were still ‘breeding’ for the Lu family, completing the task of having fifty children in twenty years.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng had already married the fourth elder’s granddaughter, a Spirit Root cultivator.

It’s worth mentioning that the fourth elder was a first-class talisman master.

Lu Changsheng’s marriage to his granddaughter made everyone envious.

In the crowd, Li Feiyu watched this scene and thought back to when they came to the Lu Family together. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, but he was still happy for Lu Changsheng.

As Lu Changsheng rode his spirit horse, he felt the various gazes fall upon him, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.

He had endured for so long in the Lu family, and now it seemed like it had finally paid off.

However, he was well aware that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength and cultivation were of the utmost importance.

His current status and position were all due to his talents in making talismans.

It was a bit of a shortcut, like a floating duckweed, precarious and unstable.

He couldn’t afford to be complacent.

After going around the entire Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng escorted his new bride back to his residence.

With the high-ranking members of the Lu family present, the wedding ceremony began.

“One bow to Heaven and Earth!”

“Two bows to the Ancestral Hall!”

“Husband and wife bow to each other!

“Escort to the Bridal Chamber!”

After the wedding ceremony was over, Lu Miaoyun officially became Lu Changsheng’s lawful wife.

Lu Changsheng had known about this arrangement beforehand and had no intention of causing trouble with the Lu family over status issues.

His other wives had also been prepared for this and were very understanding.

After escorting his new bride to her chamber, Lu Changsheng removed the bridal decorations and went out to greet the guests.

On this day, he also met the Lu Family’s senior members, elders, and guest elders, officially joining the Lu Family’s inner circle as one of their own.

In the process, he saw the fifth elder of the Lu Family, and during the toast, he proposed to buy the Green Jade Bamboo Wine.

After hearing this, the fifth elder readily agreed.

The fifth elder even mentioned that he had other kinds of spiritual wines at home for Lu Changsheng to try and buy in the future.
