The Wei Family had been managing in Fengzhou for hundreds of years and was deeply rooted. The clan was marrying out a daughter who was the only lineal granddaughter of the generation and the husband was the next Family Head of the Shen Family in Western Liang so that the celebration was naturally very lively.

Wei Huan personally ordered that both inside and outside the city that starting from the day before Wei Changying leaving home, he would set up banquets for ten days. During this period of time, delicacies and good wines would be served one after another. Regardless of the origin of high or low, anyone only needed to come forward and say some lucky words to congratulate, and the people from the Wei Family would greet them with a smile and invite them to the feast. Wei Huan also asked skillful craftsmen to make up countless lanterns with beautiful and harmonious meanings, such as lotus, winged birds, mandarin ducks, and so on to light them up all night over the city so that nights were just like daytime.

For a time, inside and outside Fengzhou, flowers blossomed in the day, fireworks and a sea of lanterns were displayed in the night that the scene was prosperous and extraordinary. The six gentlefolk were famous within the country, but they were not so extravagant every time they married out their daughter. Many people who passed by Fengzhou even stayed especially for this wedding to broaden their horizons and to get a source of conversation in the future.

On the day when Wei Changying was going to leave home, the Wei Family thought that the smell of delicious food and wine inside and outside the city would disturb the atmosphere of marrying out. For this reason, every dozen steps from Ruiyu Hall to the ten miles outside the city, a whole jar of Chenguang Incense was burned. Chenguang Incense was not produced by the Great Vi but was paid tribute by the State of the Tuhun. Because of the decline of the national strength of the Great Vi in recent years, there had been no new Chenguang Incense was paid tribute for a long time. As a result, the price of this incense was on the rise.

This kind of spice coming from afar had a light and elegant fragrance, which was not greasy if you smell for a long time. And the most different aspect of it was that it would glow when it burns. According to the rules, when Wei Changying left home at dusk, there were a large number of people who welcomed and sent off her. In addition to this, there were also ceremonial matches and the large amount of dowry of Wei Changying, the crowd naturally moved slowly. On the first day of the journey, within a few steps, it was already almost dark. The Wei Family specially chose Chenguang Incense because they thought that under the night, the incense would burn like a lamp, which could not only light up the way but also spread out the fragrance that paved a chic and luxurious way for Wei Changying. This was also to show the importance that the Wei Family attached to Wei Changying.

While everyone at the ceremony regretted this well-known incense, they were also deeply impressed by the wealth of the Wei Family and the mixed reputation of the Miss of the Wei Family.

Surrounded by the decoration by pearls and jade and with gorgeous make-up and clothes, Wei Changying was wearing the best jewelry of her life. On the left and right sides of the Corolla, was the pair of blood jade hairpins sent by Madam Su. Wearing the heavy wedding dress which was made by dozens of skillful female embroiders for more than a year, she kneeled down and performed the kowtow to farewell to the family temple, and Mrs. Huang put on the Hijab that was embroidered by twin lotus flowers for her.

After this, she bid a farewell to grandparents and parents with Shen Cangfeng.

Because they had already paid a visit to Wei Zhenghong in advance, Old Madam Song and Madam Song both thought that for the sake of Wei Zhenghong's health, they would not disturb him on the day of leaving. After the newlyweds went to bid the farewell to Wei Huan and Old Madam Song, as to Madam Song, they only performed the kowtow to the direction of Leyi Yard. Madam Song, with tears in her eyes, trembled in her voice and told her daughter, "Respect and obey your husband at all circumstances!" After all, she had already told her to, "Respect and control yourself to do the things at home that you are asked to do!"

The bells and drums were noisy, although they were careful to avoid the side of the Leyi Yard, waves of music and boiling sound coming from afar could still be heard in the courtyard this day.

In the soft wind, Luhan looked worriedly at the man standing in the courtyard, "Elder Master, there is no place to hide from the wind here. Shall we go back in the house?"

"Ahem. It doesn't matter. "Today, Wei Zhenghong especially changed into a crimson robe, which was usually tailor-made at the beginning of spring. But now it still seemed a bit large which made him seem a bit bony. When he stood in the court with his arms up, his oversized clothes were fluttering and drifting by the spring breeze which made him seem trying to leave with the wind. This made Luhan felt a little ominous.

Fortunately, Wei Zhenghong's usually pale face was a little flushed today. After all, his daughter was marrying out today and her husband was considered to be a good man to him. He was still weak, but his spirit was very exhilarating. He smiled and looked at the direction of the hall through the wall, said yearningly, "I am in a very good mood today. I really want to go to front place and have a look."

Luhan was startled and hurriedly persuaded, "Doctor Ji said..."

"I know." Although Wei Zhenghong had been ill for a long time, he has excellent self-cultivation. He never acted angrily towards the servants because of his illness, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for them. So he immediately nodded and said, "Although I feel much better today, they are all busy in the front yard. If I go there now, they will certainly be even busier. I'm just saying."

Luhan did not have the heart to see this, so he said, "Elder Master, why don't we find a high place to have a look?"

"..." Wei Zhenghong was moved. But after he thought about it for a long time, he sighed and shook his head, "Mother and Wei'er will not rest assured when they know about this that they will certainly come to visit in person. They are the busiest in preparing for the marriage of Changying. I have dragged them down for many years because of my illness, and I have never been able to help them. How can I let them worry more?" He turned around the court, and his eyes were full of longing. But he said, "I'll just listen here."

Luhan felt a bit bitter in his heart and said with a reluctant smile, "Then I will ask someone to get here two screens here and a soft couch so that Elder Master can have a place to rest."

Wei Zhenghong answered casually and strolled under the wall. He held his breath and listened attentively to the vague sound coming from the distance. He listened while speculating according to the ceremony he knew. He listened there for a long time, and meanwhile Luhan cleaned up the soft couch and asked him to go to the screen so that he wouldn't be blown by the wind. However, he waved his sleeve impatiently to ask Luhan to leave.

At last, the sound of bells and drums became clear. The music was loud, and there was a lot of noise. Without asking, everyone would know that the newlyweds were about to leave.

"My daughter, as your father, I am willing to suffer from this illness for many lifetimes to only ask God to protect you. I wish you have a smooth journey and have a lot of love and care in your husband's family!" Thinking that the only apple of the eye was marrying, yet he could not even come to the scene to instruct her in public. Wei Zhenghong suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his chest, and then he resolutely suppressed that emotion. He moved his lips and teeth and whispered silently, yet his facial expression turned back to ease.

When Wei Zhenghong prayed to God in Leyi Yard for his eldest daughter, Wei Changying, with her head covered and lying on the back of Changfeng, bit her lips slightly and subconsciously wanted to look back.

It was only when this action was done that Mrs. Huang, who closely followed by her side, noticed that and hurriedly whispered, "First Miss, don't look back! This is not lucky!"

Until she got on the bridal sedan chair, Mrs. Huang was still instructing her through the curtain. "First Miss must not look back during the journey. This is what Old Madam and Madam have warned. First Miss, you must never forget!"

According to the folk custom, if you looked back when you left the home and missed your mother's family too much, you would come back in the future. Either you would be abandoned or bereaved and could not be tolerated by your husband's family. All in all, it was not a good thing.

These taboos had been told to Wei Changying in advance, but she could not help doing it when it came. Thanks to the heavy hairpin ring on her head, she could not move freely so that Mrs. Huang had the chance to persuade and remind her.

Thinking of this, Wei Changying couldn't help laughing at herself and thought, was it possible that the hairpin ring was so heavy because they concerned about this matter?

She was thinking randomly, but the ceremony outside had ended. Old Madam Song and Madam Song personally rushed to the carriage, and they were so distressed that they had to cry again. But no matter how much they distressed, they dare not miss the time. The bridal sedan chair was built with eaglewood and decorated with gold and pearl, and its four corners were hanged with the Ruilin fragrance which could be smelled on its way. After all, it was still slowly lifted up.

"My daughter! My daughter!" Madam Song wailed loudly outside the bridal sedan chair, and Wei Changying burst into tears inside it. She subconsciously wanted to lift the Hijab and the curtain to take another look at her mother, but she was stopped by Qin'ge and Yan'ge who accompanied her into the sedan chair. They said in a low voice, "This is not lucky, calm down, First Miss!"

Fortunately, outside the sedan chair, Old Madam Song also restrained her sadness and forced herself to pull Madam Song, "Cangfeng is a good child. It's a match-made in heaven. We should be happy."

However, although Old Madam Song was persuading her daughter-in-law, the bridal sedan chair headed to the capital step by step along with the music. When it was about to cross the street corner, Old Madam, who had always been elegant and dignified, let go of her daughter-in-law's hand and shouted in the full view of the public, "My child, you...you must be good!"

The voice was lost in the sound of music and the human voice, and it would have been almost impossible to hear, but for Wei Changying's good ears and familiarity with the voice of her grandmother. She burst into tears and choked with sobs, "I...I really don't want to..."

Qin'ge and Yan'ge were afraid that she would say something like not marrying, so they hurriedly persuaded, "First Miss, think positively! Think positively! This is a happy thing, a happy thing!"

They then coaxed her in a low voice, "Your husband has a kind character and is easy to talk with! From now on, if First Miss misses Old Madam and Madam and asks for his parent's permission, it is not impossible for him to accompany you to come back to see your family. There will be times when you can meet each other!"

Outside the bridal sedan chair, Mrs. Huang was disturbed by the sound of music and the voice of congratulations, so she couldn't hear clearly. But she still persuaded and coaxed all the way. Fortunately, although the Wei Changying was reluctant to leave, she knew that even though her grandmother and mother were crying to see her off at the moment, if she stayed, they would be so anxious. After all, girls always had to get married.

Seeing that she had calm down, Qin'ge and Yan'ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the small target mirror to her, and let her bow her head to check herself from under the Hijab to see if there was anything to wipe.

Wei Changying looked down, wiped off some of the greasy rouges with the veil, and sighed deeply. She returned the veil and the mirror to the maidservants, leaned against the sedan chair, and simply closed her eyes to have a rest.

So by the time they got off the sedan chair, it was already dark. Wei Changying was helped out of the sedan chair, and the maidservants took the feather fan to cut off the line of sight to lead her into a room. The room looked familiar, so Wei Changying asked, "Is it the long pavilion that is used to bid a farewell?"

Qin'ge said, "Yes, our family sent craftsmen to finish the work ahead of time, and the furnishings are also from the storehouse in the mansion. First Miss just put up with this for one night. After all, we left at dusk today, and this is as far as we can go."

"Help me take off this outfit first." Wei Changying asked Mrs. Huang on her side, "Granny, after all, it will take some time to travel. This costume is really cumbersome. Can I only wear the normal dresses along the way and change it when I get to the capital?"

Mrs. Huang was embarrassed and said, "This...It's not in line with the rules!"

"There are always people around me when I go in and out today, and no one can see me outside. Why doesn’t Granny just tell them not to say anything about it?" Wei Changying chucked her mouth and said aggrievedly, "I'm really tired today! I'm still sitting in a sedan chair today! Yet I'm going to take a carriage from tomorrow, and I will be more tired. I can't sleep in such a dress!"

After all, Mrs. Huang loved her a lot. It would take more than ten or twenty days on the way to the capital. If she took several hours a day to dress up to get on the sedan chair and took about than half an hour to unload everything after getting off the sedan chair, it would be too much effort for both Wei Changying and servants. More importantly, apart from the people around her, no one could see her. After thinking about it, Mrs. Huang agreed to it and ordered Qin'ge and Yan'ge to serve Wei Changying, and she went out to warn others about this.

The two maidservants served Wei Changying to take off her makeup and change her clothes. After this, when they saw that Wei Changying still looked unhappy after taking off the clothes, in order to make her happy, they opened the window and said smilingly, "First Miss, please have a look!"

Under the window, there was a big vat with the leaves of water lilies floating in it. The lotus had not yet bloomed at this time of year, but there was a crystal lotus among the lotus leaves. In the stamens, there was a faint blue light, which was bright and white, and the light shined out from the crystal lotus. In the crystal lotus, a dense curl of light smoke was floated that a mouthful inhalation would make people immediately feel relaxed and happy.

Wei Changying did not know that of the Wei Family used Chenguang Incense to light up the road. When she saw it, she was surprised and said, "Chenguang Incense?"

"The fifth young master ordered to keep a bit here for First Miss to watch." Qin'ge pursed her lips and smiled, "This kind of water tank has been lined up all the way from the gate of Ruiyu Hall to this long pavilion. Even for families like us, not everyone can have such a display of splendor when they get married."

"Changfeng is very caring." When she heard that it was arranged by her younger brother, Wei Changying was stunned a little and felt an unspeakable sense of loneliness. Wei Changfeng wanted to send his sister to the capital in person, but according to the rules at this time, uncles and cousins were the first choices. Not to mention that Madam Song was worried about Wei Changfeng going to the capital now. So she asked Wei Changsui to send Changying off first, and when they arrived near the capital, Wei Shengyi would join in the procession. And the father and son would just make up the quota to see them off for the marriage. This was also the repayment of Old Madam to the second branch. After Wei Changying's reputation was destroyed, the second branch did their best to help in the end.

Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, Brother...The memory floated, and there were emotions surging in her chest.

Mrs. Huang told her not to look back during the journey, but now she had rested in the long pavilion. Wei Changying turned her head and overlooked Fengzhou through the short wall outside the pavilion. There should be the colorful lights in the city that illuminated the long night of the city so that even ten miles away, the night sky in the south still had a magnificent brilliance. She could imagine how bustling the city was at the moment and even listened to the noise within the city from the night wind.

But she was not in the city anymore.

It was noisy in the city and quiet outside of it. Although the uproar was caused because of her, she still left there step by step.

The elegant Chenguang Incense could not stop the sound of the gurgling water behind the house, which brought the fresh air of growing vegetation in the late spring. The spring of this year was coming to an end, and Wei Changying's time in Fengzhou had also come to an end. Wei Changying could not help whispering, "'We leave Fengcheng in the late spring. The sun is sinking and my memory is submerging. Pedestrians should not listen to the gurgling in front of the official, which is the sound that flows through the years.' The ancients wrote this poem as if it had been written for me at this moment."

When Qin'ge and Yan'ge were about to speak, Mrs. Huang came in and said with a smile, "First Miss, it's time to eat. And after having the dinner, have an early rest…Tomorrow, we have to get up early and carry on our journey!"

Everyone became busy one after another.

In the fragrance of Chenguang Incense, the vegetation was clear and the running water was slightly fragrant that their smell entangled together. No matter how colorful and beautiful it was, this great spring event would inevitably fall one after another that it was hard to stay even if people deeply loved it; how many speculations and perturbed there were, and the coming summer had been determined and was waiting to take the stage, which is unstoppable.

Fengzhou was behind her, and all the people and matters which recorded the youth of a young girl had been bid a farewell.

After this, the distant and strange capital, the Shen Family in Western Liang, where Shen Cangfeng was, would be the legitimate destination for Wei Changying.

After this, thousands of rivers, mountains, there would be no longer close relatives to protect on her side. She would not hear the parents calling and caring her but became Shen Cangfeng's wife and the Shen Family's daughter-in-law.

After this, she would be destined to support each other with this man, face the wind and rain together, and spend the rest of their life together.

And build their own home.
