December 19.
Auspicious day, suitable for marriage.
The Young Master from Minister Yang's Mansion and the Second Miss from the Xia Family of Jiangnan are set to be married on this day.
Because it's close to the New Year.
The common people have time on their hands and are particularly interested in such gossip and merry events.
So.
Early in the morning, the streets of the Capital City where the wedding procession was to pass were crowded with onlookers.
Even the roadside vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes couldn't stop grinning.
While inwardly wishing the couple a long and happy marriage.
They also hoped for a few more such joyous events.
To ward off the bad luck that had dampened business during the half-year mourning period for The Late Empress.
The winter sun rose slowly.
The golden sunlight shone warmly and festively on the clean, swept streets.
The morning mist gradually dissipated as the temperature rose.
The people became even more lively.
In the crowd.
