As winter gave way to spring, the sixth year of Zaiqian in Yu Country unfolded to the roar of the Spiritual Energy Locomotive.
In Chang'an Jincheng Square, Li Ang, dressed in groomsmen's attire, sat in a side hall of Song Shaoyuan's house, leisurely sipping hangover soup.
During the day, he had participated in the wedding of Song Shaoyuan and You Xiao as one of the groomsmen. The wedding was graced by teachers from the Academic Palace such as Pu Liuxuan, fellow townsmen from Yizhou like Ji Linglang, and schoolmates like Li Wei and Yang Yu, who all attended in their finest attire.
Aunt Song, as the groom's mother, had cried her eyes out—she alone knew the hardships she'd endured raising Song Shaoyuan by herself all these years. Fortunately, Li Ang managed to console Aunt Song just in time—since Song Shaoyuan's academic performance at the Academic Palace was high-ranking, he was destined for an official career, and she could look forward to days of ease hereafter.
