The day of Shao Wenbo and Xie Yixiang's wedding soon came. Wang Jingyuan stepped out of the horse carriage after He Tianhong and Du Jiahui and looked up at the plaque above the front doors: Shao Manor. A giant bolt of red silk was now draped elegantly across the plaque, indicating that a wedding was taking place.
This was a place she had become so familiar with, yet it looked completely alien now. Red silk decorated all the roofs and pillars. Red and gold lanterns hung at every corner, their red tassels waving slowly in the breeze. Large red paper cutouts of shuang xi, or double happiness, were pasted on doors and windows. The servants ran to and fro, greeting guests, bringing snacks and tea, and showing guests to their seats in the main room. People arrived in a steady stream, all of them important officials from the royal court. The once-quiet Shao Manor was now a place of clamor and celebration, and it was weird.
