Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Wedding

Getting married is a major life event, especially for Shen Wenxing, the eldest son of the family, who is now a county official at the Ascension Pavilion.

Not only did the people of Jinliu Village attend, but even landlords and gentry from neighboring villages came upon hearing the news.

Despite Shen Yuan’s meticulous planning, he did not anticipate so many guests arriving, resulting in insufficient food.

At this moment, Village Chief Yang Changlin of Jinliu Village stepped forward.

”Folks, today is Shi Tou’s big day with many esteemed guests from afar.”

”We are all neighbors, let’s not take seats at this table and give them to our esteemed guests.”

”Later on, we’ll have Ah Yuan set up a few more tables for everyone to enjoy a good meal, what do you say?”

Yang Changlin is quite respected in the village, and upon hearing his call, the villagers of Jinliu Village readily complied without much displeasure, giving up their seats to other guests.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan was deeply moved.

”Uncle Yang, thank you.”

”Everyone, tomorrow! I will host a banquet tomorrow for everyone to enjoy a good meal!”

”I apologize for today’s lack of preparation.”

Many villagers teased him with laughter, some returning to the village while a few chose to stay and help.

The lively wedding lasted all day until most guests gradually departed by evening.

With the help of Zhao Shuan and his wife, and Zhao Jinhua, Shen Yuan cleaned up the mess at home, and the sun had already set.

”Brother Shuan, these are clean leftovers from the table, would you like to take some home?”

Being ordinary common people, taking home some clean dishes from the feast is not considered embarrassing.

Zhao Shuan gladly accepted with a smile: ”Usually, I’m reluctant to eat the good dishes; let your sister-in-law cook them later, we can enjoy a few meals.”

”Ah Yuan, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head home now.”

Shen Yuan glanced around and nodded: ”Nothing else, Yufen and I will take care of the rest.”

The couple escorted Zhao Shuan’s family to the door, watching them leave before returning to the courtyard.

At this time, Shen Wenxing and Huang Lingxiu were cleaning oil stains in the courtyard.

Hu Yufen saw this and hurried over to Huang Lingxiu, taking the broom from her hand:

”How can a new bride work on her wedding day?”

Huang Lingxiu smiled and took the broom back: ”Mother, we don’t have so many formalities.”

”Shi Tou said your health is not good, so I need to help more with household chores in the future.”

Hearing this, Hu Yufen felt joyful, but she still looked at her son to reprimand him: ”You should cherish your own wife, your father wasn’t like this back then.”

Shen Wenxing diligently cleaned the oil stains on the ground, laughing as he replied: ”Don’t worry, Mother, I definitely won’t neglect Lingxiu.”

The moon reached its zenith, and the family finally finished their chores.

At dinner, Shen Yuan looked at his children, including recently married Huang Lingxiu, and spoke.

”Now that Shi Tou is married, there are some rules I need to tell you.”

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table sat up straight and looked at him.

”An older brother is like a father; an older sister-in-law is like a mother.”

”You three must remember to treat your eldest brother and sister-in-law with respect and understanding. If I find out any of you dare to defy and upset your sister-in-law, I’ll break your legs!”

The three siblings all shrank back at this.

”Ah Die, we won’t!”

Shen Wenping spoke cheerfully.

”Father, please don’t say that.” Huang Lingxiu was moved and quickly added: ”This family still needs you and Mother to manage. You and Mother should see your daughter-in-law as a daughter, and if there’s anything wrong, feel free to point it out.”

Shen Yuan nodded with a smile.

Beside them, Hu Yufen also held Huang Lingxiu’s hand and said: ”Your father is right; in the future, look after Ah Nu and the others for me. If they misbehave, feel free to discipline them.”

”Alright, let’s eat first; the food has gone cold.”

The family happily finished their meal, then went to wash up and sleep.

On the bed, the couple snuggled together.

Shen Yuan felt somewhat bewildered.

Living thirty years in the previous life, being single.

Yet in this life, before turning forty, his son is already married, and he is about to become a grandfather.

It’s like a dream.

”You mentioned last time that Wen’an passed the Ascension Pavilion test, is he going to the Royal City soon?” Hu Yufen shifted slightly and asked while looking up.

Shen Yuan gently stroked her smooth shoulder and nodded slightly, noticing his wife’s expression with a soft smile: ”Are you worried?”

”Ah!” Hu Yufen sighed: ”Wen’an doesn’t know how to get along with others; if he follows the Immortals to the Immortal Sect...”

Shen Yuan comforted her: ”He’s going to learn Immortal Techniques, not interpersonal skills.”

”Moreover, Immortals should prefer Wen’an’s practical and diligent nature. Don’t worry too much.”

Hu Yufen nodded lightly.

Their youngest son has this one merit.

Hope nothing goes wrong at the Immortal Sect.

She wanted to say more when suddenly she noticed Shen Yuan’s hand becoming somewhat unruly, immediately giving him a side glance and moved closer.

After a passionate encounter, Hu Yufen felt weak all over, and after catching her breath, a hint of apology crossed her eyes.

She realized her man had become increasingly robust since becoming a Martial Artist, and she could no longer satisfy him.

”Husband, perhaps you should consider taking a concubine.”

”Alone, I’m afraid...”

”What nonsense are you saying!?” Shen Yuan corrected her disheveled hair and said: ”Shi Tou is married now, and as his father, taking a concubine would have people saying I’m shameless?”

Hu Yufen said nothing, her cheek quietly pressed against his chest.

”Have you been practicing the Technique for physical strength recently?” Shen Yuan asked.

He had noticed her health declining, possibly due to having four children, which weakened her Primordial Qi.

Hu Yufen gently shook her head.

Recently, there were too many things at home, and she didn’t want to leave all the burdens to her husband.

There was simply no time to practice the Breathing Technique.

”Now that Shi Tou is settled and has a position at the Ascension Pavilion, there’s no major expense at home; you should focus more on practice and give up embroidery work.”

Hu Yufen still wanted to argue, but Shen Yuan interrupted directly: ”Could you bear to leave me a lonely old man decades later?”

Feeling the affection in her husband’s words, a slight smile appeared on her face.

The next morning.

Early on, Hu Yufen got up to make breakfast, then practiced the Breathing Technique in the courtyard with her youngest son Shen Wen’an.

When Shen Yuan got up and saw this, he smiled and, after contemplating, turned back into the house to retrieve the porcelain bottle holding the Qi Nourishing Pills.

After hesitating for a moment, he poured out one Qi Nourishing Pill and went to the courtyard.

Upon hearing the noise, Hu Yufen slowly opened her eyes.

”Open your mouth,” Shen Yuan stood in front.

”Why?” Hu Yufen asked suspiciously but obediently opened her mouth.

A pill was tossed into her mouth.

A fragrant aroma spread, and Hu Yufen instinctively swallowed the pill.

”What did Husband give me?”

”Good stuff, don’t talk, quickly focus on your practice.”

Shen Yuan replied with a smile.

Hu Yufen hadn’t yet had the chance to ask further when she suddenly felt a power unraveling in her abdomen, rapidly flowing through her entire body.

She immediately calmed her Heart Spirit and began attempting to maneuver the power according to the Breathing Technique.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Rationally, whether given to the eldest child or the youngest, or even consumed himself, the value of a Qi Nourishing Pill exceeds that given to his wife.

But with more than ten years of emotions with his wife, he couldn’t make such rational decisions.

Moreover, their youngest son is about to become an Immortal Sect disciple, and there will be opportunities to acquire more Qi Nourishing Pills in the future.

The family’s future is important, but an intact home holds greater significance in his heart.
