On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the following year, a big red wedding invitation was sent to Su Ping's home.

He was confused at first. After all, if a family in the village was holding a wedding, they would usually just inform them. No one would make it so grand.

That could be the residents of Liyue Harbor, but he only knows those few people, so who could they be getting married to?

After Su Ping opened the wedding invitation, his eyes suddenly lit up, because the name written on it was Zeng Xi.

Su Ping still missed this senior whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, but he didn't expect that when they were about to meet again, the other party had found his true love and was about to get married.

"Before, I said that it's hard to find a good person, but now I have found one," Su Ping murmured in a low voice, without taking his eyes off the wedding invitation.

"Three days later, in the private school?"

Su Ping's eyelids jumped. It was not impossible to hold a wedding in a private school, but... it felt a bit strange.

Thinking about the past school, when the students had changed their minds, put on gorgeous red clothes, and the hall was full of guests, it was lively and noisy. Su Ping suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation.

At the doorstep of his home, Su Yue, whose back injury had recovered enough for him to walk, moved a stool and sat against the wall.

He looked back and saw his son's smiling face. He couldn't help but ask, "Ping'er, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Su Ping continued to smile as he walked up to his father and said with a smile, "A fellow student is getting married and he invited me to the banquet!"

"Really? That's good, that's good..." Su Yue murmured, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, as if the past events came to his mind, so he frowned slightly, and felt a little sad again.

Su Ping looked up at the sky, turned around to put away the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and then moved the table to the door.

The writing desk and dining table at home have always been shared, and there is no need to buy an extra one because there is no room for them at home.

After moving two more stools, Su Ping helped his father to sit down at the table. Although his father could get out of bed, he still needed someone to support him or he could hold on to the wall to walk.

Su Ping had known this result earlier, and now he had no complaints at all. He just hoped that he could cure his father in the future.

Because he could vaguely sense that Su Yue sometimes spoke to him in a much lower voice.

Not only did the voice become smaller, but one's own position and decision-making ability were completely gone.

Su Ping thought, maybe it was because his father thought that he, with his injuries, could not do anything for the family and would always be just a burden.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Su Ping got up in the morning and made breakfast. After eating with his father, he rushed to Liyue Port with the gift money and invitation.

Big red ribbons and red lanterns had been hung at the entrance of the private school, and people came in one after another with gifts.

Yan Ziyuan and Ran Ziyu, who were doing a job similar to that of doormen, received many guests there. When they saw a half-human figure, they looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

Su Ping saw them and the smiles on their faces. He thought they were probably going to have another long speech because they were too familiar with each other.

"Wow, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you're still as charming as ever." Although he said this, Yan Ziyuan's hand was on Su Ping's head, and then slowly moved to himself.

The look on his face can only be described with an indescribable word.

Su Ping seemed unwilling to be outdone, and responded: "It's the same with Brother Yan. When he left, he had no beauty by his side, and when he came back, he looked at Brother Zeng, who was the envy of others, but he was not as good as me!"

Yan Ziyuan chuckled, "But now I am the gatekeeper. If you want to enter, you must have my permission, otherwise it will be difficult!"

"There are many ways to do this." Su Ping crossed his arms and grinned, "Since Brother Ran is not here, I can still ask Brother Zeng to pick me up. If that doesn't work, I can ask the Master to do justice. That's not a bad idea!"

"How can this be? Brother Zeng has to be busy today. Let's not get in his way. The Master is also very happy today. Let's not spoil his fun. As for Brother Ziyou, why don't you just pretend you didn't see him?"

As Yan Ziyuan spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at the man next to him, as if he was discussing something, or as if he was threatening or intimidating him.

Ran Ziyou's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "You, you, forget it, let's finish it quickly, so as not to delay the guests from coming to the table."

"Okay, okay." Yan Ziyuan agreed readily, then gave up the seat for receiving gifts, and went to a table nearby with Ran Ziyu and their younger brother.

"Why is there such a big fuss just to collect a gift?" Su Ping asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked at the paper, pen and ink on the table.

"Others certainly don't need it, but you, Su Zian, are not like others." Yan Ziyuan handed a letter to his junior and said with a smile, "Brother Zeng left it for you, saying that he hopes you can do it for his big day."

Su Ping opened the envelope. The letter inside only contained a few short sentences:

"You should know that I am very happy today, so I want to ask for something as a gift. It can be my handwritten words. Is that okay?"

"You want my signature..." Su Ping's eyes moved away from the letter and fell on the faces of the two fellow students, waiting for the next words.

"That's right, little brother, just go ahead and write. Brother Zeng kept talking to us on the way, saying that he thought your calligraphy was very impressive and wanted to draw a piece of it." Yan Ziyuan nodded.

Ran Ziyou also said slowly: "Since the master wants it, I can't refuse to give it to you, right?"

"Of course, just a piece of calligraphy." Su Ping placed it on a corner of the table and prepared to start writing immediately.

He paid special attention to the writing this time, because it was a wedding gift to Zeng Xi, and there could not be any visible flaws, and it could not be rewritten.

Otherwise, the implication is that the person receiving the gift may remarry, which is not a good implication.

Su Ping took a deep breath, and the tip of his pen suddenly fell on the paper. Then he wrote four big characters in one go without any hesitation.

The four words "Happily Ever After" appear on the paper, and the writing style has changed from being sharp to being much gentler, giving off a warm feeling.

Su Ping put down his pen, looked up and smiled at the two fellow students, and said with a smile: "Two fellow students, is this okay?"

"We are only responsible for supervision. Whether it is good or bad, it is up to Brother Zeng to judge." Ran Ziyou said slowly.

"Okay, okay, let's go in." Yan Ziyuan pulled the two of them up and walked out the door. As for the matter of collecting the gift money, he handed it over to the other students.

The guests were seated and the chairs were decorated with great care. Su Ping could tell there was a meaning behind them, but he couldn't tell what it was. He just felt it was very good.

Yan Ziyuan took the two of them to a seat, where most of the people present were his acquaintances, including Ji Fang, Meng Ziyu, and Gong Xihua.

Sitting in the main seat were the parents of the bride and groom, with kind smiles on their faces, because today, the children they both hoped for were going to get married.

Confucius was talking with them, and his words were full of praise for Zeng Xi, and he also expressed his blessing for his student's marriage.

Soon, a middle-aged woman standing at the door shouted, "The bride and groom are here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at the door, and saw Zeng Xi, who was not too bad looking, wearing a bright red wedding dress and had a slender figure.

Beside him stood a woman. Under the red veil, she had a beautiful face with an expression of incomparable happiness. No matter what she looked like in normal times, she was the most beautiful woman in the world today.

Zeng Xi, smiling, held the hand of his beloved girl and walked towards where their parents were.

On the way, Zeng Xi nodded slightly to a table of guests as a silent greeting.

Su Ping smiled, and he, Yan Ziyuan, and Ran Ziyou looked at each other, then raised their glasses together, but did not drink as a response.

After that, they worship in the hall, worship heaven and earth, worship their parents, and the couple worship each other. They worship heaven and earth as witnesses, they worship family harmony, and they worship... a lifelong love.

When the ceremony was over, Yan Ziyuan's eyes sparkled, he stood up and raised his hand, shouting: "Brother Zeng, today is your big day, I have something to say to you and your sister-in-law!"

As soon as these words came out, the guests around him were full of anticipation, and the lively atmosphere became even more intense. They all asked him to speak out, and the joy reached a new level.

Zeng Xi looked back at him and nodded, "You can talk about it!"

"Hehe, Ziyuan wishes you both the best. May the wind be gentle when the weather is fine and the rain not fall continuously. But if there is any danger, let's work together to overcome it!"

Yan Ziyuan bowed with both hands, and after saying this, the smile on his handsome face became even wider, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

"Okay." Zeng Xi said.

Ran Ziyou continued his words, also bowed with both hands, and said slowly: "I wish that brother Zeng and sister-in-law will be like lovebirds in heaven, and like intertwined branches in the world!"

"Okay." Zeng Xi nodded slightly.

Then, Yan Ziyuan pulled Su Ping up, held him high, and shouted, "Junior brother also wanted to say something. Just now, he wrote a beautiful calligraphy for you, wishing you a happy marriage!"

Su Ping also bowed with both hands. He had known this would happen and had already prepared for it.

"I wish the two newlyweds a happy and harmonious marriage, a love that is as strong as gold and as inseparable as paint, and a happy family life together until old age, with children and grandchildren all around!"

"Even better!" Zeng Xi laughed heartily.

Not only him, the bride also couldn't help but chuckle. She had heard about her husband's three close junior classmates a long time ago, and now she felt that her husband had good relationships with people and had good vision.

Yan Ziyuan then smiled and said, "Since that's good, would you like to express your gratitude, Brother Zeng?"

"I don't have Mora with me now. If you want it, I can't do anything about it!" Zeng Xi said, holding his wife's hand and shaking his head.

"That's not necessary. Talking about Mora will hurt feelings. Brother Zeng, just talk about Fu Sanbai!"

"Okay!" Zeng Xi agreed immediately. He could drink quite a lot, so even if he had a few drinks, it wouldn't affect the important things that would happen later.

Yan Ziyuan, Ran Ziyu and Su Ping walked up to him. After he finished drinking one glass, they handed him another one. After three rounds in total, Zeng Xi looked at the wine glass in front of him and smiled suddenly.

"Ziyuan, do you want to drink it by yourself?"

"Ah, ahem, I accidentally poured one more cup. Please forgive me, brother Zeng, please forgive me..."
