On the contrary, Yan Gui, who was about to sleep, kept his eyes wide open all the way, listening to Wei Yang's even breathing, his heart beating fast.
After waiting for a while, Yan Gui heard the carriages of the Yan family girls approaching behind him. He then gently patted Wei Yang's face and said, "Girl, get up. Aren't you going to take your nieces to see the camellia?"
Wei Yang opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Yan Gui in confusion, which made Yan Gui want to get off the car and drive those nieces back.
Yan Gui patiently coaxed her softly, "We're home now. Didn't you say you were hungry? After dinner, you're going to take Xiaoxia and the others to see the camellia flowers."
Hearing this, Wei Yang rubbed her eyes and said softly, "Carry me down."
Yan Gui lowered his eyes to look at Wei Yang who was still sleeping. He put his arm through her legs, picked her up gently, and got off the carriage carefully.
As the cold wind outside blew, Wei Yang woke up completely. She pushed Yan Gui's chest and said softly, "I'll walk by myself."
Beside the carriage behind him, four girls from the Yan family stood in a line, staring in amazement as their uncle-in-law carried his future wife towards the flower hall step by step.
"Big sister." Yan Lei's 14-year-old daughter Yan Xiaoling blushed and reached out to pull Yan Xiaoxia's arm: "Is this against etiquette, uncle?"
Yan Xiaoxia was married after all, so she said calmly, "We are in our own yard, and there are no outsiders. It's okay."
"But." Yan Xiaoling was about to say something, but Yan Xiaoli, the eldest daughter of the Yanyun family, said, "I wonder how many women in Yanzhou envy my aunt for being favored by my uncle."
Yan Dian's daughter, Yan Xiaoyan, was still young, just ten years old, and she just listened to her three sisters talking with her big eyes. She was hungry, and she was more concerned about when she could eat, because she hadn't eaten at Zhou's house yet. Zhou's house did prepare snacks, but they were too sweet, and they choked her throat. Her eldest sister said that she had to change her teeth and couldn't eat too much.
The four sisters followed into the hall and saw their uncle and aunt sitting on chairs. If they hadn't seen their loose hair, everyone would have suspected that what they had just seen was not real.
Yan Gui asked them to sit down and told the steward to notify the kitchen to serve the dishes. Since they were all girls from the Yan family and he was the elder, there was no need to prepare a separate table. It was normal for everyone to have a meal together.
Yan Gui stood up, took the golden crown handed to her by Ding Wu and tied her hair up. With Kong Gu's help, Wei Yang simply gathered her hair behind her and tied it with a ribbon to prevent it from being messy.
The kitchen of the Yan Mansion had prepared the dishes early, and following the steward's instructions, various dishes were brought in one after another.
In winter, Yanzhou eats meat as a side dish. There is no shortage of mutton and pork, but what is lacking is green vegetables and fruits.
In addition to meat, there is also a dish of stir-fried green vegetables on the table today. This is a dish of green leafy vegetables that the kitchen must prepare for Weiyang every day.
It is still difficult to find green vegetables in the snow-covered vegetable fields. This small dish of green vegetables is specially distributed every day from the warm room of the largest restaurant in Yancheng.
The youngest, Xiaoyan, doesn’t like to eat vegetables and ignores the vegetables on the table.
Yan Xiaoling, however, felt that it was very difficult to see a green vegetable after eating meat every day.
There were only a few pieces of vegetables on the plate, but before she knew it, Yan Xiaoling had eaten most of it, and even Wei Yang only took one piece with her chopsticks.
The downside of having a large table with few people is that it was useless for Yan Xiaoxia to wink at Yan Xiaoling, as she didn't even look up at her.
Seeing that the vegetables on the plate were about to be gone, Yan Xiaoxia was also desperate, "You can eat whatever you want." My uncle shouldn't be so angry over a plate of vegetables.
However... ...
