Flourished Peony 国色芳华 Episode 30

Jiang Changyang and Mudan performed the fanning ceremony, hand washing ceremony, sharing the same cellar and drinking the wedding wine according to etiquette, and then they tied the knot in the bridal chamber. Mudan helped Jiang Changyang undress in the room, while Jiang Changyang took off her headdress and combed her hair. They cultivated themselves and respected etiquette, completing all the necessary etiquettes. Mudan's hair finally grew out, and she didn't want to cut it. Jiang Changyang didn't care. He put his hair in the sachet and waited for Mudan to comb her hair and lose a few strands before putting them back in. This was a hair-tying ceremony. . Mrs. Feng ordered someone to send back the jade comb as quickly as possible. It was not a valuable item, so Mudan accepted it calmly. However, she didn't know that it was actually a personal item of Jiang Changyang's biological mother. When she was still alive, she planned to give it to Jiang Changyang's future wife.

Xu Jijiu and Sun Danniang were old and could not bear to see these little girls being so affectionate, so they left one after another. Zhu Fu, Xiaochun and Chuanyu were left outside the door to watch. After the wedding ceremony was over and they entered the bridal chamber, Jiang Changyang drove them all away. When Mudan saw the bed was full of money, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Their marriage was fake, so naturally there was no bridal chamber. Mudan was hungry, so Jiang Changyang brought food to the bed to eat. Jiang Changyang dotes on Mudan very much. He doesn't want Mudan to be reserved just because she married him. She just wants her to remain the same as before. Mudan sighed, her first marriage was real, but the wedding was ridiculous, and she suppressed herself every day to be the young lady of the Liu family. Now her marriage is fake, but she can truly be herself.

Unlike Jiang Changyang and Mudan who were happy, Liu Chang drank to drown his sorrows on his wedding day, mocking himself for being no different from He Weifang who married into the Liu family that day. Officials oppress merchants, royal relatives oppress officials. If you cannot climb to the highest position and become the boss, you will eventually become the prey of others. Seeing the Thousand Petal Lotus in the yard getting wet in the rain, Liu Chang ignored his leg injury, ran into the rain, threw away his umbrella, and left protecting the Thousand Petal Lotus. Li Youzhen behind him saw the whole scene clearly. She angrily tore off the thousand-petal lotus on her head and ordered that no more peonies and lotus flowers could be planted in the entire mansion. When Jiang Changyang got up the next day, the servants all congratulated him, and Jiang Changyang was so happy that he gave them all rewards. But his joy did not last long, as Jiang Changyang discovered that Mudan had moved to Fangyuan. He asked Chuanyu to pass a message to Mudan.

Seeing that Mudan really didn't know his feelings, Jiang Changyang smiled self-deprecatingly. There are many houses in the Fragrant Garden, and the farmers are busy working. Mudan recalls the time when she and Mudan stayed in the Fragrant Garden when she was a child, and thinks that if people who are interested in appreciating flowers can enter the Fragrant Garden to enjoy the beauty, her mother's spirit in heaven will be pleased. There was an old lady named Tang in the garden who threatened to hang herself and refused to leave Fangyuan. Mudan gave her three days to show her talents. If she was useless, Mudan would not keep her. Chuanyu sighed, saying that now Jiang Changyang didn't even have the chance to help find people. Mudan hadn't returned to the small courtyard of the Jiang Mansion for two days. Jiang Changyang was grilling meat alone. At this time, Prince Ning came and forced a beauty named Lianzhou on him as a concubine. Jiang Changyang had no way to refuse and had to accept her.

In three days, Aunt Tang not only found practical and capable craftsmen, but also found three ladies with different skills, namely, the zither player A Tao, the embroiderer A Man, and the lady Jin Niang who was proficient in the art of steaming. They have their own stories and their experiences are pitiful. Mudan has also witnessed that they are indeed skilled in their respective fields, so she immediately decides to redeem their indentures and take them to work with her from then on to rebuild Fangyuan together.
