Chapter 105 The Young Master and the Ghost Bride 5
Chu Yun probably got hurt from soaking in the river water for too long. After waking up, he started coughing and having a fever every few days. He stayed in bed all day, his face pale, and he had lost his former radiance.
Mo Heng looked at his beloved's fragile appearance and his heart was filled with worry.
He sent people to look for famous doctors and collect precious medicinal herbs, just to relieve Chu Yun's pain.
Chu Jun was afraid of suffering, so Mo Heng prepared small candies and cakes for Chu Jun in different ways every day, just to coax Chu Jun to drink the medicine.
Today, Mo Heng came to the bedroom with a small gift for today.
His footsteps were very light, for fear of disturbing Chu Yun's rest.
The bedroom was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. Chu Jun was lying on the bed, his face haggard, but still unable to hide his handsome appearance.
Mo Heng gently walked to the bedside and placed the object in his hand next to Chu Yun's pillow. It was an exquisite jade pillow. It was said that the nobles in the palace used it. It was said to have the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the heart. This way, Chu Yun would sleep better at night.
Mo Heng looked at the sick beauty with her eyes slightly open and said softly, "Xiaojun, this is the jade pillow I found especially for you. I tried it before and it was very comfortable for me to sleep on. Would you like to try it tonight?"
Chu Jun thanked him softly, his voice was weak but full of joy.
Seeing that Chu Jun was more energetic, Mo Heng took out an ancient book from his arms. It was the only copy that Chu Jun had always wanted.
He knew that Chu Yun had lost her memory and was unfamiliar with everything in this world, so he tried every means to find some rare books for Chu Yun. He was willing to spend a lot of money to buy this book, hoping to bring some fun to his sweetheart.
Mo Heng looked at the person sitting at the head of the bed reading quietly, and wanted to add some fun to Chu Jun, so he quietly told the servants to bring in his guzheng.
Facing Chu Jun, Mo Heng lowered his eyes and played the piano.
The sound of the piano was melodious and as clear as spring water, bringing a touch of vitality to this room filled with the fragrance of medicine.
Chu Jun closed his eyes unconsciously as he listened, and he felt that the pain in his body was no longer so severe.
In the garden, the maids who were pruning the branches couldn't help but whisper to each other as they listened to the familiar music.
"Did you hear the music playing over there?"
"That's the young master playing the guzheng, right? I haven't heard it in a long time."
"The young master never plays music in front of outsiders. I bet that the one in the room is 100% our young mistress. I bet a copper coin!"
"I'll add one more!"
"I also!"
"Please keep your voices down. Last time, Xiaoyu and Xiaotao were gossiping about the eldest young lady, and the eldest young master threw them to the side yard. Stop talking now, hush..."

"This song is so beautiful, does it have a name?" When the song ended, Chu Jun looked at the young man playing the piano in front of him and found it difficult to control himself. Such a wonderful person made people want to possess him.
Chu Jun felt that his gentle gaze should be focused on herself instead of on the piano.
"The name of this song is 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix.'" Mo Heng's eyes moved from the guzheng to Chu Yun's face, and he felt uneasy when he said this.
"Feng Qiu Huang, why does it sound like a courtship song?" Chu Jun's heart beat faster, but he pretended to ask casually.
Mo Heng followed Chu Jun's words and said, "What if it's a song for courtship?"
"Sir, who do you want to court?" Chu Jun was a little nervous and pretended to tease.
"The person in front of me." Mo Heng calmly walked from the desk to the bed, staring into Chu Jun's eyes and said seriously.
However, Mo Heng just looked calm, but his palms began to sweat unconsciously.
This is the first time I am pursuing my beloved. I don’t know if my diligence in the past few days has been noticed by my beloved, and whether my song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" has won any favor from my beloved.
Today's confession was not deliberately arranged by Mo Heng, but because the atmosphere was so good, Mo Heng saw Chu Jun's eyes focused on him and he couldn't help himself...
Chu Jun didn't expect that the young man in front of him would suddenly confess his love to her. They had only known each other for a few days.
After spending the past few days together, Chu Jun also realized the extraordinary status of the person in front of him. From the various small gadgets he brought with him that looked very valuable, he knew that this young man was not just a wealthy man as he said.
Would a man of this status and appearance really fall in love with another man? Chu Jun didn't know.
However, his intuition told him that he could trust it and he would not lie to himself.
Mo Heng looked at the beauty sitting on the bed and nodded slowly. He was so happy that he wanted to pounce on her, but he paid attention to the etiquette of a gentleman and could only suppress his eager heart. He just slowly covered Chu Jun's hand on the quilt with his hand, and smiled at Chu Jun's eyes.
Chu Jun looked at the young man in front of him who was smiling foolishly, and was also amused.
That night, Master and Madam Mo received a letter from their good son, saying that Mo Heng had already selected all the auspicious dates for the coming year and was preparing the dowry and betrothal gifts, just waiting to get married.

[To the south stands a cypress tree, overgrown with kudzu shoots. A happy gentleman will walk upon it, and blessings will pacify him.]
October 23rd is a good day for marriage.
The Mo and Chu families married into a happy marriage.
As soon as the sky was getting light, a huge wedding procession gathered in front of the main residence of the Mo family.
At the front of the procession was a band playing festive music, with gongs and drums blaring and flutes and shengs playing. Following them were rows of guards, dressed in neat uniforms, holding torches and flags, protecting the safety of the wedding procession.
Next came the lavishly decorated motorcade. The eldest son of the Mohist family, dressed in a red robe, a golden crown on his head, and a sword at his waist, looked majestic and heroic. He rode a tall horse, also covered in red and decorated with ribbons, looking particularly majestic.
Behind him followed a large ceremonial guard, who were waving colorful flags, beating gongs and drums, holding gorgeous umbrellas, and waving colorful fans. All these decorations demonstrated the profound heritage and prominent status of the Mohist school.
The most prosperous streets in Suzhuang have already been decorated with festive decorations.
Red silk flutters and lanterns hang high.
Today is the wedding day of Mo Heng, the famous eldest son of the Mo family in the city.
As the wedding procession slowly moved forward, people on both sides of the street stopped to watch, and exclamations of admiration were heard everywhere.
"What kind of auspicious occasion is this today? Why is it so lively? Look at this grand occasion! I've never seen anything like it before!"
"The eldest son of the Mohist school is the greatest Mohist of Zhuangzi." A young man explained to the old man beside him.
"The most handsome one?" The old man thought for a moment and realized that there was only one eldest son of the Mo family who was of marriageable age and had not yet married.
"Yes, the eldest young master has come to our place for dinner!" Speaking of the eldest young master, the young man looked proud.
"That's the most sought-after son-in-law in our village. I wonder which girl is so lucky?"
The young man was stunned by the question: "I don't know. The Mo family only said that the girl's surname was Chu, but there is no family with the surname Chu in our village?"
Naturally, no one could answer this question. The Mo family kept the news about the girl a secret and did not reveal anything.
The unmarried girls around were all envious of this luxurious wedding scene.
"This ten-mile-long red wedding is just like what a royal wedding would look like!"
"If I could find a husband who would marry me like this, I would die of happiness!"
"Hey, what kind of stunning fairy will a man like Mr. Mo marry?"
"I don't care. I must wait in front of the Mo family's gate today to see the bride!"
