Because it was the taking of a concubine, there was no bridal procession or the like. The bride was simply carried to the door in a sedan chair covered with red cloth, and since she was a concubine, they even skipped the wedding ceremony and directly sent her into the bridal chamber.
The old master accompanied the guests to have a meal in the courtyard. After just a few bites, he was longing for the beauty in the bridal room. Unable to resist the temptation, he chatted briefly with the guests and then claimed he was feeling unwell and went back to his room to rest.
Everyone understood Old Master Mo's intentions but chose not to expose him, letting him go to rest.
In the courtyard, there were three or four tables of guests eating, drinking, and chatting about their families. From time to time, they burst into laughter, seeming very happy.
