Chapter 344: Chapter 337 Happy Life_1

He simply couldn’t understand how his son-in-law had become so capable?

Wang Furen, seeing his son-in-law achieve great success, felt nothing but pride in his daughter’s choice. This time, she had really bet on the right horse. He was delighted through and through.

From now on, he would be Qin Niu’s father-in-law.

The more formidable Qin Niu was, the more prestigious his status as the father-in-law would be.

“Gang Leader Gongsun, I did not expect you to take time out of your busy schedule to congratulate me. I am truly grateful! Over there, there is some modest wine prepared, please, take your seat!”

Qin Niu stepped forward and respectfully bowed.

“Originally, the Lord of the City wanted to personally come to congratulate you, but due to some affairs, he could not make it, so he sent me to represent him. This gift, the Lord of the City instructed me to personally hand it to you.”

Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun was the right-hand man of Black Tiger City’s Lord.

Unlike Bai Xuezhu, Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun was considered virtually a spokesperson for the Lord.

He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Niu.

“Do not open it in front of others. The Lord commands you to train hard, strive to grow stronger, and become a pillar of our Black Tiger City as soon as possible.”

Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun cautioned in a low voice.

It was all so mysterious and deliberately not listed in the gift registry. What could possibly be inside that brocade box?

Qin Niu had just eradicated the He Family not too long ago, and the Lord of Black Tiger City, who had no personal relationship with him, found it inappropriate to congratulate him personally.

Sending Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun to congratulate him was very appropriate.

At the level of deputy gang leaders and gang leaders, with their noble status, they wouldn’t personally offer congratulations unless there was a private relationship or the marriage was of significant importance. Being able to send a servant to deliver a congratulatory gift was already quite a favor.

With these bigshots coming to offer congratulations, the wedding was pushed to its peak.

Inside and outside the Qin Residence, tables were arranged.

A continuous banquet was being served.

The opera troupe was already performing on stage.

The entire Qin Residence was extraordinarily lively.

It was declaring to everyone the rise of a new family.

Tang Yan looked enviously at heavyweights like Young Master Fang, Vice City Lord Bai, and Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun.

Unfortunately, Qin Niu had no interest in an official career, otherwise with the support of so many top-level dignitaries, he could quickly become a high-ranking official of considerable power.

Qin Niu was also going from table to table and toasting, expressing his thanks to the congratulating guests.

As everyone was enjoying the feast, a white crane flew in from the distant sky, slowly descending.

“It’s a spirit crane!”

Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun waved at it, and the white crane immediately flew to his arm.

He retrieved a hidden note from under its wing.

After reading the note, Deputy Gang Leader Gongsun’s expression changed slightly.

“Lord Bai, the Gang Leader summons us to return immediately, there is a matter of war.”

“This Nine Insect Gang is really annoying. I rarely get such an opportunity to drink, and now they come to disturb it,” complained Vice City Lord Bai upon hearing the news, lifting his glass and draining it in one go.

As he was leaving, he even took with him the half a jar of wine that was left.

“Qin Niu, I have urgent business to attend to and must leave. I will visit your residence another day. This wine is sweet and refreshing, truly excellent wine,” said Vice City Lord Bai, ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

“Brother Qin, I must go as well, thank you for the hospitality. This banquet is really satisfying,” said Fang Lian with his mouth greasy from the food.

These were all top-tier nobility, who usually dined on delicacies, and probably didn’t often get the chance to enjoy a rural banquet like this.

It was not only a novelty but the flavors were also very distinctive.

Qin Niu bid farewell to these distinguished guests, feeling a hint of worry in his heart.

He had only just married, and war had already broken out.

The urgent recall of both Deputy Gang Leaders and Young Master Fang by the Black Tiger Gang Leader suggested that the war was pressing and quite serious.

Hopefully, the Black Tiger Gang could withstand it.

Qin Niu was beginning to feel a sense of belonging to the Black Tiger Gang and certainly did not wish for the gang to be destroyed.

…

The Qin Residence’s banquet continued into the evening, as did the opera performance.

As the feast ended, the villagers left, satisfied with their fill of food and entertainment. The opera troupe not only performed plays but also featured famous actors singing, dancing, and playing instruments.

Ordinarily, if these people wanted to enjoy such performances, they’d have to go to the theaters in the city.

“`

Just the entrance fee alone was enough to make many people shy away.

There were indeed cheaper pleasure houses, such as the secret brothels within some private residences. The price there was more affordable, but forget about listening to music, watching dances, or hearing the guitar.

The moment you entered the door, it was straight to business, purely to resolve physical needs.

Qin Niu saw off his guests and walked into the bridal chamber.

Wang Wanyan sat on the edge of the bed, covered by a red bridal veil, seeming rather nervous.

…

The next morning, Qin Niu emerged from Tang Caixian’s room.

He spent the first half of the night with his official wife, but then was sent away by Wang Wanyan to spend the rest of it with Tang Caixian.

Qin Niu had transformed from a boy into a true man.

From then on, he had two wives.

Perhaps, in the near future, there would also be children.

The sky was a dull grey; it was a cloudy day.

“Husband, you’re up so early?”

Wang Wanyan and Xiao Qing were making breakfast.

“Why didn’t you sleep in longer? Washing and cooking are things that the servants should do from now on. Xiao Qing, you don’t have to do these tasks anymore too, just focus on your cultivation. I’m going to buy two servants today.”

Qin Niu now had the financial strength to do so.

“Xiao Qing and I can handle these tasks, why spend the extra money?”

Wang Wanyan’s mindset was of the thrifty, household-managing sort.

Buying two servants would cost a good sum of Silver Money, not to mention daily expenses for food and drink.

“It’s fine, I can afford this expense.”

Qin Niu was already thinking that, once Wang Wanyan’s temperament matured a bit more, he would hand over all the Silver Money for his wife to manage and take care of.

It wasn’t long before Tang Caixian also got up.

But the way she walked was a bit unnatural.

Wang Wanyan, being a newlywed wife, had at least rested for half the night. She, on the other hand, hadn’t rested much at all and was still in pain.

“Both of you, just sit and rest well. Xiao Qing and I will make breakfast.”

Qin Niu rolled up his sleeves and started cooking himself.

Thinking back to those poor days of eating grass roots and tree bark, the life he led now was incomparably blessed.

He had wives and concubines who were especially beautiful, each with her own merits.

And he possessed a vast fortune that he couldn’t spend in several lifetimes.

Wang Wanyan was feeling a bit unwell, she had just been gritting her teeth while making breakfast, but seeing Qin Niu so attentive, she happily accepted.

And she sat down at the table to chat with Tang Caixian.

The two got along like sisters.

When they looked at each other, their pretty faces blushed in unison.

Tang Caixian was a bit better off; she wasn’t as introverted and shy. Wang Wanyan, however, was very shy about marital matters.

“Dinner’s ready!”

Qin Niu brought the freshly cooked meals to the table.

“Xiao Qing, stop cleaning up; come eat first.”

“I… I’m just a maid, it’s enough for me to eat a little in the kitchen.”

Xiao Qing, when it was just her and Qin Niu, would dare to eat at the table. Now that there were two mistresses in the house, she worried about breaking the rules and being resented.

“Where’s that little head of yours getting all these rules from? Hurry up and come eat!”

Qin Niu scolded with a stare.

“Xiao Qing, come on! We’re all family here; we’re not so formal.”

Wang Wanyan also called out to her.

“Sit next to me!”

Tang Caixian gestured to her.

The family of four got along quite harmoniously.

As they were eating, Qin Niu faintly heard crying coming from outside.

Who was crying so early in the morning?

It seemed to be the cries of a woman.
