Chu Bai clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body became very gloomy, "Go and check on the second girl of the Xu family, the more carefully the better!"
"yes!"
At first, he thought it was Princess Chaoyi's plan, but in the end, Xu Rongrong made a move. Chu Bai hated Xu Rongrong very much.
Xu Rongrong didn't think much of her position as a concubine, and even dared to force Princess Chaoyi to abdicate, making Chu Bai and Princess Chaoyi reconcile. Chu Bai directly blamed Xu Rongrong for this, and was furious.
He was not in the mood for the marriage at the mansion at all, seeing the red in his eyes, he became more and more irritable.
"Where is the princess now?"
The guard immediately said, "The princess is currently staying in the Prince's Mansion temporarily."
Chu Bai was a little discouraged, if Princess Chaoyi didn't go out, Chu Bai didn't have the guts to come to ask for someone.
At least there is still more than a month to repair the Princess Mansion, but there is only half a month left for her to get married, and the more Chu Bai thinks about it, the more irritable she becomes.
Contrary to Chu Bai's reluctance, Xu Rongrong was eager to get married at home, and the corners of her mouth were raised all day long, almost flying with joy.
Mrs. Xu was happy to see Xu Rongrong, no matter how tired she was, it was worth it.
On this day, the Xu family opened the door early in the morning, hung up red silk, and there was an endless stream of guests. It was the day when the second young master Xu Lin married his wife.
After playing for a whole day, the bridal sedan chair approached the door, Mrs. Xu looked a little impatient, and just sat in the high hall.
Xu Lin was dressed in a wedding robe, he was tall and handsome, and he held the bride's hand to worship the heaven and the earth, and then went straight into the new house.
Xu Lin has no connection with Wen Yuyan. Wen Yuyan is good-looking, gentle, and knowledgeable and understanding. The two have a good impression of each other.
The next day, Wen Yuyan was preparing to offer tea to Mrs. Xu, but was told that Mrs. Xu was ill and did not need to go.
Wen Yuyan's face froze slightly, then she smiled, "Bring the presents for sister-in-law and Rongrong."
Wen Yuyan went to visit Xu Rongrong first, and logically she should have gone to Fang Shi, but she was afraid of offending Madam Xu, so she bypassed Fang Shi and went directly to Xu Rongrong.
"Give it to my sister-in-law, and say that I will ask for a cup of tea later."
Wen Yuyan handed the brocade box to the maid, who nodded immediately.
Afterwards, Wen Yuyan went to Xu Rongrong's place, her eyes were all exquisite red, and everything was a treasure, which was much better than Wen Yuyan's new house.
Wen Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and smiled, "Second sister-in-law doesn't have anything to give, you are going to get married soon, this is second sister-in-law's wish."
Xu Rongrong glanced at the brocade box. Inside the brocade box was a set of ruby heads, two gold hairpins and two step rockers, a pair of earrings and a necklace, all made of the best rubies, dignified and elegant without losing the noble air. .
Xu Rongrong fell in love with it immediately, and immediately got close to Wen Yuyan a lot, "Thank you, my second sister-in-law, I like this set of jewelry very much."
Wen Yuyan smiled, "As long as you like it, the second sister-in-law can't help you when she's new here, if you need help, just ask."
When Xu Rongrong heard this, she immediately beamed, and immediately said politely, "I see that in the dowry that my second sister-in-law brought, there seems to be a pair of calligraphy and painting by Master Yuan Zhen. Why don't my second sister-in-law give it to me?"
Master Yuan Zhen was a very well-known painting master in the previous dynasty, with excellent pen and ink, magnificent poetry, and a painting is hard to find.
Xu Rongrong opened her mouth and asked for Master Yuan Zhen's painting, she was really rude.
Wen Yuyan's small face froze slightly, but she quickly smiled again, "Rongrong, I forgot if you didn't tell me, there are too many things these days, I heard that Yingchuan Hou likes to collect these calligraphy and paintings, this painting It’s just for you, look at my memory, I’ll let the servant girl bring it to you in a while.”
Xu Rongrong immediately smiled sweetly when she heard the words, and got closer to Wen Yuyan, but Wen Yuyan didn't dare to stay longer, maybe Xu Rongrong would speak again after a while, so she found an excuse and left.
"Second Young Madam, the Eldest Young Master took great pains to find that calligraphy and painting, Second Miss is really welcome." The servant girl curled her lips in displeasure.
That painting and calligraphy was specially given to Wen Yuyan as a wedding gift by Young Master Wen, but Xu Rongrong took it away unexpectedly.
"So what, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. She is the heart of my mother-in-law. What can I do with her?"
Before Wen Yuyan married in, she had already inquired about the Xu family's affairs. The Wen family was implicated by the Zhao family and gradually fell into decline, but the Xu family was in full swing. Wen Yuyan had no status at all, so how dare she provoke Xu Rongrong.
Wen Yuyan then went to visit Fang Shi again. After recuperating for a few days, Fang Shi's body has gradually recovered, but she is still a little weak, lying on the collapsed bed and sewing.
"Sister-in-law."
Fang raised her eyes, and immediately smiled at Wen Yuyan, "I'm looking forward to you, I've been waiting for you for a long time, sit down."
Wen Yuyan was not polite, she found a stool and sat down, Fang immediately sent someone to deliver a brocade box, opened it and saw a jadeite bracelet with transparent jasper, the color of water was excellent.
"It's my fault that I don't live up to expectations. This is a wedding gift from my sister-in-law to you. You and your second brother must be united forever and grow old together." Fang sincerely wished.
Wen Yuyan's eyes turned red inexplicably, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"In the future, we will be a family. You don't have to be so polite. We should support each other in the Xu residence of Nuo Da."
Fang had a good impression of Wen Yuyan, but when she saw that there was something wrong with Wen Yuyan's expression, she asked, "It's such a happy day, what's wrong?"
Wen Yuyan shook her head, but the maid beside her couldn't help it, and told about Xu Rongrong's request for the painting just now.
Fang's lips curled up, "This child has been spoiled by his mother-in-law since he was a child. He doesn't know how to measure it. He is not used to seeing other people's good things. Second brother and sister, don't worry about it..."
Speaking of Fang's wry smile, "I worked so hard to help her prepare the dowry, and now I've been lying on the bed for half a month, and I haven't seen her come to see it once. All these years of dedication are not as good as the maids who serve her wholeheartedly."
Wen Yuyan is not an idiot, just looking at Fang's posture, he can probably guess what Fang has gone through.
"Sister-in-law is also because of Rongrong?" Wen Yuyan was surprised.
Fang nodded, and when Xu Rongrong was mentioned, there was a strong hatred in his eyes, which was shocking, "Who else can there be except her, the mother-in-law protects her tightly, for fear that she will be wronged in the slightest, she would rather praise Xu Rongrong My aunt suppressed and forced me to swallow my anger, what can I do?"
Both are brilliant minds with a surprising unity of heart and unity.
With Fang's comparison, Wen Yuyan's loss of a calligraphy and painting is not worth mentioning, and he comforted softly, "You can do whatever you want at home, but it's not so chic to marry a woman, besides, Madam Hou's temperament is a bitch. Strong, with Rong Rong's attitude, she will inevitably suffer in the future."
Mrs. Yingchuanhou is notorious for her dominance. Even Princess Chaoyi was suppressed by her without saying a word, let alone Xu Rongrong.
Fang's lips curled into a smile, and Wen Yuyan smiled tacitly.
Wen Yuyan is the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and she grew up spoiled at home. The Xu family's perfunctory and contempt yesterday made Wen Yuyan and Mrs. Xu destined to have an antagonistic relationship.
Fang lost her child because of this matter, and the two sisters-in-law had exactly the same idea, but they just forbear to mention it.
Wen Yuyan also specially gave Fang a jade-carved longevity lock for Fang's daughter, Fang smiled and took it, and Wen Yuyan didn't leave until an hour later.
Fang's hand is holding the longevity lock, this longevity lock is very delicate, the jade is also high-quality warm jade, tied with a complicated knot on both sides, it looks like it was made by Wen Yuyan herself.
"Second brother and sister really have a heart, and they can still think about my sister. She is exquisite. The second brother is lucky to marry such a daughter-in-law."
If you find someone who is unclear, it will affect Xu Lin's future.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when Xu Rongrong got married.
Fang strongly supported her body to help take care of it, Wen Yuyan followed suit, Madam Xu wished she could add three more layers to Xu Rongrong's dowry.
Concubine Xu Shu in the palace sent people to send five large boxes, which were usually rewards from the Emperor Xiyue. The first one was a pair of jade ruyis. It was so full that it took four bearers to lift it up with great effort.
Wen Yuyan looked at the twinkle in her eyes, and didn't say a word, just pretending she didn't see it, but her heart felt like a needle prick.
Wearing a big red robe, Xu Rongrong, supported by the maids on both sides, slowly attached herself to the sedan chair carried by six people under Mrs. Xu's attentive gaze, and went all the way to the Yingchuan Hou Mansion.
As soon as Xu Rongrong left, Fang and Wen Yuyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, while Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, and her whole body seemed to be drained of energy, listless.
This Yingchuanhou mansion is also very lively. Mrs. Yingchuanhou stretched her neck and waited for the sedan chair to enter the door, almost laughing from ear to ear.
After a while, I heard the sound of firecrackers, and immediately stood up, "Here we come."
Chu Bai's figure in a red robe appeared first, followed by the hijab-covered bride. Chu Bai's face was so tense that he couldn't see the slightest smile, and reluctantly worshiped the world with Xu Rongrong.
After sending the person to the new house, Chu Bai went out immediately, Xu Rongrong sat on the couch, her heart almost bursting out, obediently waiting for Chu Bai.
As time passed, Xu Rongrong couldn't hold on any longer, but she couldn't ask the maidservant for fear of being laughed at, so she could only bear it.
It was not until late at night that Chu Bai came back reeking of alcohol, waved his hands, and asked all the maids and women to go out.
Xi Po was about to say something, but saw Chu Bai's sharp eyes sweeping towards her, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly dropped everything and left the house.
Under the red hijab, Xu Rongrong looked shy and nervously clutched the handkerchief in her hand. After waiting for a long time when Chu Bai lifted her hijab, she couldn't help but say, "Husband..."
Chu Bai curled his lips into a sneer, sitting on the side drinking alone, Xu Rongrong sensed something was wrong, and then reached out to lift off the red hijab, her neck was already sore from the pressure, and her pretty face was full of grievances.
"Husband, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Really, you should be happy that you have finally achieved your goal after putting in so much effort."
Xu Rongrong frowned slightly, and looked at Chu Bai with some doubts.
Chu Bai looked at Xu Rongrong with cold and distant eyes, which made Xu Rongrong stunned for a moment, as if someone had poured cold water on her shy heart.
Tonight is their wedding night, shouldn't they be tender and sweet
Chu Bai glanced at Shi Chen, "It's getting late, let's rest early."
Seeing Chu Bai approaching, Xu Rongrong's original doubts disappeared, only shyness remained, and Chu Bai overwhelmed her with a cry of surprise.
Tearing off Xu Rongrong's clothes little by little, Xu Rongrong was full of charm, Chu Bai looked at the small face, inexplicably thinking of someone, cold as ice but with a unique charm.
Looking at Xu Rongrong's appearance again, although Xu Rongrong is beautiful, but there is less alienation and more enthusiasm. The person treated it as that person, and tossed it hard, as if to vent his anger.
Xu Rongrong's shy groans came from time to time, and the maids outside the house lowered their heads.
After a while, the candle was lit again, Chu Bai put on his clothes again, glanced at the drowsy Xu Rongrong, then at the bright red on the Yuan handkerchief on the couch, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he lifted the Yuan handkerchief and placed it on the lamp. It burned down, and soon a group of flames rose, and it turned into a group of ashes in a short while.
Chu Bai took out a clean Yuan handkerchief from his pocket and put it back, then went out immediately.
What happened in the new house was not hidden from Mrs. Yingchuanhou, but she was a little strange and confused. When Nanny Bai was holding a clean yuan handkerchief, Mrs. Yingchuanhou became restless and her face was surprisingly ugly.
"Where are people?"
"The Concubine Shi Zi just woke up and is washing and dressing up. She should be here in a while." Nanny Bai didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and thought to herself that Xu Rongrong didn't know how to love herself.
Xu Rongrong was woken up by the maid, her whole body was limp and limp, as if being crushed by a wheel,
It hurts to move a little bit.
"Concubine Shizi, it's getting late and it's time to offer tea to Madam."
Xu Rongrong nodded, gritted her teeth and put on a festive crimson floral dress, her face was like a peach blossom, she was tall and charming, her temperament was quite different from the past.
Went to the hall, Yingchuanhou and Mrs. Yingchuanhou were both in the hall, Chu Bai was also waiting early.
Xu Rongrong knelt on the ground to serve tea, Ying Chuanhou only gave a few simple instructions, and then gave a big red envelope, which is considered to be seen.
It was Mrs. Yingchuanhou's turn, and because of Yingchuanhou's presence, she resisted the attack, forced a smile to take the tea, and put it down as soon as it touched her lips.
After some salutes, Yingchuanhou left, Mrs. Yingchuanhou sent Chu Bai away, and then said to Xu Rongrong, "Come with me!"
Xu Rongrong was confused and didn't understand why Mrs. Yingchuanhou suddenly changed her face. She thought that maybe Mrs. Yingchuanhou wanted to teach something. Mrs. Xu once said that being a daughter-in-law is different from being a girl. Mrs. Chuanhou.
Xu Rongrong followed Mrs. Yingchuan Hou to the main room, and Xu Rongrong immediately presented a brocade box, "Mother, I prepared this specially for you, see if you like it or not."
Inside is a very precious nobile, which is very unique.
Madam Yingchuan Hou didn't even glance at it, she slapped the table suddenly, "Kneel down!"
Xu Rongrong was taken aback. She didn't know why, but she still knelt down, "Mother, I don't know what Rongrong did wrong. She must make up for it. Mother, please don't get angry."
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou only felt that her face was hot, and the daughter-in-law who married into the door with great joy and fanfare turned out to be a broken shoe. Isn't this a slap in the face.
Princess Chaoyi was married once, everyone knew it, and she was the princess, so it was reasonable.
But this broken shoe was unfaithful before marriage, who knows if it was debauchery and having an affair with someone in private, Mrs. Ying Chuanhou only felt that the hard work these days was really worthless, like a big joke.
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou took a deep breath, her whole body was in a state of anger, she couldn't help but scolded, "You still have the face to mention it, the Hou family has gone through all kinds of troubles to marry you in, but you are so unselfish, I am so disappointed gone."
Speaking of which, Nanny Bai handed the yuan handkerchief to Xu Rongrong, but no red plums bloomed, and Xu Rongrong was shocked all of a sudden.
Before she got married, the mother had taught her that if there was no red plum on the yuan handkerchief, it would be unfaithful and would be looked down upon by her husband's family.
But she has always been clean and self-loving, so how could she have nothing.
"What's going on here?" Xu Rongrong was puzzled.
"This yuan handkerchief was taken by the old slave himself, and there is absolutely no mistake. The old slave searched it privately, and there was no trace on the couch."
Nanny Bai couldn't help but blushed as she spoke, panicking with embarrassment.
"Hmph, what else do you have to say? I said it was such a coincidence that it was Bai'er who saved you, and she was desperate to be a concubine. The princess and Bai'er were forced to reconcile. It's so bad!"
Mrs. Yingchuanhou felt disgusted even after looking at it even more. Why did Yingchuanhou's mansion marry such a daughter-in-law to enter the house
Without giving Xu Rongrong a chance to argue, Mrs. Yingchuan Hou immediately said, "From now on, there will be no guards and guards in the Leisurely Courtyard, and all the servants will be replaced by maidservants to drink tea. Today, I will follow the imperial concubine every step of the way." Don't leave!"
The maid named Pinming immediately responded.
