「Two days later.」
The twenty-second day of the twelfth month, in the year 1058 of the Great Yu Calendar.
Late winter, Renzi day. The Jade Hall was ascendant. Greatly auspicious, with no taboos. A perfect day for a wedding.
Bailu Avenue, the main hall of the Chen Family's front courtyard.
Chen Cheng sat in a grand chair, looking at the red paper invitation in his hand. He lifted his teacup and took a gentle sip.
Today was the joyous day of Yan Jian's marriage to a main-line young lady of the Shen Family. Early in the morning, the Yan Family had sent someone to deliver the invitation. The messenger had also passed on a special message from Yan Jian, saying that Chen Cheng must do him the honor of attending and witnessing their happy union.
