Chapter 74: Chapter 74 When Do We Have a Fight?_1 Chapter 74: Chapter 74 When Do We Have a Fight?_1 “In the future, I will fix your hair up in a bun,” said Xiao Changyi.
“You can?” An Jing was surprised.
Xiao Changyi shook his head, “No, but if I ponder over it slowly, I’m sure I’ll get it eventually.”
“Alright,” An Jingxin felt sweet inside, “then I’ll be your guinea pig first. Once you’ve figured it out, I can enjoy you doing my hair.”
Actually, Xiao Changyi didn’t quite understand the meaning of ‘guinea pig,’ but he could slowly grasp the context from An Jing’s whole sentence. After he understood, he nodded and said, “Hmm.”
“Let’s go, we should head over for the wedding ceremony. Today is our big day, and I’m sure many people have come to see us made a mockery of. We can’t let them look down on us.” As she spoke, An Jing puffed out her chest, her back even straighter than before.
Seeing An Jing stand so upright, with an instant surge of commanding presence that most people couldn’t emulate, Xiao Changyi blurted out, “Did you serve in the military before?” In her original world where men and women were equal, women too should have been able to enlist.
“Yes,” An Jing nodded, then tilted her head to look at Xiao Changyi, her smile brilliant, “You served as well, so when shall we have a match to see who’s the better fighter?”
Xiao Changyi was silent for a moment before saying, “Let’s go to our wedding ceremony.”
An Jing: “…” Dear husband, I really do want to have a match with you, I’m not joking!
…Oh well, we’ll discuss it later.
After all, there’s plenty of time in the future.
With that thought, An Jing let it go and smiled as Xiao Changyi led her out of the inner chamber.
An Jing knew that people were coming to make fun of her and Xiao Changyi, so she deliberately set the wedding ceremony in the courtyard rather than the main hall, to give onlookers their fill of laughter.
Though there were no guests, she wanted everyone to see clearly that she and Xiao Changyi were getting married; she was Xiao Changyi’s wife, and he was her husband.
At the same time, she reminded herself that one day, she would make these people regret their scorn!
As soon as An Jing and Xiao Changyi came out of the house, they saw that there were already quite a few people outside in the courtyard. These people had been gossiping and burst into even more vigorous discussion upon seeing them emerge.
“Look, they’re coming out!”
“Haha, not a single guest, what a poor wedding. No wedding hostess, just the two of them. They even cooked their own meal, nobody to help them, haha, how pitiful. This is the first time I’ve seen such a shabby wedding, haha.” Someone mocked without restraint.
“Just the two of them, what’s the difference between this and an unofficial engagement?” Someone sneered.
“There’s a difference, alright. The girl here was the one who made the first move, whereas an unofficial engagement implies mutual affection. How could there be no difference?” Another person said facetiously.
“Although An Jing shamelessly threw herself at him, Xiao Changyi really does like her. Haven’t you seen the wedding clothes they’re wearing? It’s thirty coins per foot. If he didn’t like her, would Xiao Changyi bother to buy it?” Someone said mockingly.
“Even if he bought cloth that costs thirty coins per foot, what’s the point? It’s such a waste! A wedding without any splendor, I find it embarrassing just looking at them!” Someone huffed with disdain.
“Isn’t that the truth!”
Most of those who had come were women, talking amongst themselves, clearly intending to isolate An Jing and Xiao Changyi, all there to make fun of their wedding.
Xiao Changyi said nothing and simply assisted An Jing to the center of the courtyard; then, he moved aside to light the firecrackers. As soon as the firecrackers were lit, Xiao Changyi casually threw them out of the courtyard.
