Chapter 343: Chapter 336: The Big Shots Arrive_1

“Joyous indeed! On this auspicious day blessed with great fortune, the four walls gleam as distinguished guests fill the hall! Today, in the Qin Residence, there is a young and handsome bachelor, Qin Niu, full of vigor and successful in his undertakings. The Wang Family has a daughter, Wan Yan, gentle and virtuous with both beauty and talent. The Tang Family has a daughter, Cai Xian, skilled in singing and dancing, with exemplary conduct. The groom, Qin Niu, takes Wang Wanyan as his principal wife and embraces Tang Caixian as his concubine. Matches made by the god of marriage, bridged by magpies, with the marital cup as witness.”

Double happiness arrives at the door as the rising sun brings congratulations.

…”

Xu Zhenchang sang the congratulatory words, allowing both parties to perform the wedding ceremony.

And allowed all present to bear witness together.

Outside the main hall, guests and children looking for fun crowded around.

“Yan Family’s Yan Ruohai brings his eldest son to congratulate! A thousand taels of Silver Money in congratulations!”

Such generous gifts.

The Yan Family really doesn’t do things by halves.

For the sake of building a good relationship with Qin Niu, they directly sent a thousand taels of Silver Money as a wedding gift.

“Pang Family’s eldest daughter, Pang Juan, comes with congratulations! A thousand taels of Silver Money!”

Did these two families agree on a standardized gift amount?

The crowd secretly clicked their tongues, realizing that, in the region, only Qin Niu could simultaneously attract the head figures of the powerful Yan and Pang Families to extend their congratulations.

Even Tang Yan of the Tang Family didn’t have such clout.

By this time, Qin Niu had completed the wedding ceremony with his two wives and, hearing that the two strongest local families had come to offer congratulations, he also hurried forward to greet them.

Help with the reception was provided by villagers.

But because the identities of the guests were not low, ordinary villagers would likely converse with them in trepidation, finding it difficult to speak freely.

“Master Yan! Young Master Yan! Miss Pang! Thank you for coming to offer congratulations, please take a seat at the high table. If there is any lapse in hospitality, please grant us your forgiveness.”

Qin Niu stepped forward to greet the three.

It was, however, his first time meeting Miss Pang of the Pang Family.

Dressed in a green dress, she looked dignified and beautiful, with clear eyes like water, yet she carried a subtle aura of authority.

The Pang Family had sons, but it was the eldest daughter who was in charge, indicating Miss Pang’s exceptional capabilities.

Her cultivation level was a highlight.

She possessed an upper-level cultivation at the Innate Realm, even higher than Qin Niu by a small realm.

She should be in her early twenties, yet already possessed such strong cultivation, clearly indicating her talent might even surpass that of Yan Ruohai.

Given time, the Pang Family will surely flourish.

In this light, the He Family, though seemingly deep-rooted, appears to have the least competitive and potential strength among them.

Any family that solely relies on past achievements and indulges in former glory can quickly spiral into decline.

The He Family has no less than four Innate Realm masters, a formidable strength indeed.

But all four are elders, not one of them young.

This can easily lead to a talent gap.

The Yan Family keeps its strength well hidden; surely there must be more Innate Realm masters than just Yan Ruohai.

Yan Ruohai, with his deep wisdom, only reveals enough strength to deter opponents and prevent them from having covetous thoughts.

“Master Qin, may you and your ladies grow old together and be blessed with a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren!”

Miss Pang smiled as she offered her congratulations.

“Thank you! Please, take a seat!”

Qin Niu gestured with one hand invitingly.

“Master Qin, such youthful charm, taking two such beautiful wives and concubines, do take it easy!”

Young Master Yan joked with a smile.

“Ha-ha, seems like Young Master Yan is an experienced man with much to teach. I look forward to learning from you in the future. Please, take a seat!”

Qin Niu ushered the three to the high table.

He would undoubtedly need to interact with both families in the future and was more than happy to foster good relations with them.

As they were speaking, the sound of a carriage approached from outside.

“Tang Family’s Tang Yan comes to offer his congratulations! A Hundred Taels in Silver Money!”

Tang Yan arrived in his official robe.

He couldn’t compare with the Yan or Pang Families; a hundred taels was already his limit.

It was even possible that he had to go into debt for it.

Giving such a generous gift was also a sign of his respect and gratitude towards Qin Niu.

Because not long ago, Qin Niu had greatly aided him.

This in turn allowed Tang Yan’s network in Black Tiger City to smoothly expand, and his status increased significantly.

“Master Tang, you shouldn’t have! Please, take a seat!”

Qin Niu stepped forward to welcome him.

“I’m a bit late, just a modest gift, I hope Master Qin won’t look down upon it.”

“Eh, a hundred taels of congratulatory silver is already an extremely generous gift, Qin is truly grateful!”

In Qin Niu’s eyes, Tang Yan’s hundred taels of congratulatory silver even outweighed the thousand taels given by the Yan and Pang families.

It was because the Yan Family gritting their teeth to take out a thousand taels of silver would not hurt their vitality.

But for Tang Yan to take out these hundred taels, it could very well be everything he had.

Hiss hiss!

Once again, the neighing of a steed came from outside, and an extremely luxurious carriage stopped at the doorstep.

A handsome and distinguished young nobleman stepped down from the carriage.

“Young Master Fang Lian of the Fang Family from Black Tiger City presents his congratulations! A thousand taels of silver and a pair of six-hundred-year-old ginseng.”

It turned out to be Fang Lian, accompanied by two spirit Qi realm experts from the Fang Family.

As the heir to the Fang Family, they were sure to protect him well.

Coming to the countryside for a wedding feast, if they encountered an assault by a rival family, his situation would become extremely dangerous.

Therefore, Fang Lian always had at least one spirit Qi realm expert with him at all times for personal protection when traveling.

Young Master Fang was always generous with his spending.

However, even for a top family like the Fang Family, a thousand taels of silver should be quite a sum.

“Chairman Li of the Insect Master Association and Chief Identification Master Hu are here to congratulate! A hundred taels of congratulatory silver!”

These were all people who had interacted with Qin Niu in the past and had a good relationship with him.

Qin Niu had not sent them invitations, nor did he know how these people got the news.

Just as he was welcoming these honored guests into the banquet, a young woman wearing hemp clothes and straw sandals walked in.

That unique aura of a celestial untouched by worldly dust could only belong to the mute girl, Bei Bing.

“Talisman Master Bei Bing presents her congratulations! A high-level talisman as the congratulatory gift.”

She didn’t give away gold or silver but presented a high-level talisman.

Its value was no less than a hundred taels of silver.

“Bei Bing, I really didn’t expect you to get the news too, I’m so happy to see you. Please, take your seat!”

Qin Niu was sincere and had enormous potential.

Unknowingly, he had made many friends and connections.

Roar!

A lion’s roar came from outside, deafening to hear.

“Moo~!”

The Green Ox in the pen responded with a call, easily suppressing the roar of the lion.

“Master He Shan, a Chiliarch, presents his congratulations! Five hundred taels of congratulatory silver!”

“Deputy City Lord Bai Xuezhu presents his congratulations! A thousand taels of silver.”

Both Master He Shan and Deputy City Lord Bai strode into the hall.

Haven’t seen him for many days, Deputy City Lord Bai still looked somewhat pale.

His last bloody battle against Elder Jiu Yin and the self-destruction of two spirit Qi realm experts had severely wounded him. He must have come, injured, to celebrate Qin Niu’s wedding.

Qin was deeply moved by this display of friendship.

“I am flattered! How are your injuries, if I may ask?”

“Haha, Bai specializes in toughening exercises, nothing much, just thick skin and flesh. As long as one doesn’t die on the spot, then one won’t die. For such a great occasion for brother Qin, how could I not come over for a drink or two?”

“Please, take your seat!”

Qin Niu ushered them towards the head table.

The highest-ranking person on the scene had become Deputy City Lord Bai.

Although Fang Lian was also of high stature, he ranked below Deputy City Lord Bai.

“Gongsun, the Deputy Gang Leader from Black Tiger City, comes to offer congratulations! A thousand taels of congratulatory silver!”

Another big shot arrived.

Today Shuangfeng Village was indeed bustling with excitement.

Just the deputy gang leaders alone accounted for two, and many of the congratulatory gifts amounted to a thousand taels of silver.

This was an enormous fortune that ordinary people could not earn in a lifetime.

Wang Furen sat in the chief seat, his face flushed with excitement.

Previously, he had thought that marrying his daughter to the son of the city commandant was like grasping at a high branch.

Now he realized that the seemingly simple Ah Niu from next door was a hundred or even a thousand times more formidable than he had imagined. To think that such prominent figures from the city would come to celebrate his wedding.

And each one of them chatted and laughed amiably with Qin Niu, showing a great relationship.

With his shrewdness, Wang Furen had come to see that his son-in-law held the status to converse as an equal with these powerful individuals.
