It was like a raging flood suddenly crashing into a dam. As soon as these words came out, the people in the whole room suddenly fell silent, stiffened for a moment, and all turned their heads to look out.
Jiang Xuanjin stood at the door of the main house with her hands behind her back, for an unknown how long she had been standing there.
"Your...Your Majesty?" Bai Xuanji looked shocked, her eyes flashed, she immediately restrained her attitude, let go of her hand and took a half step back.
The uncles and aunts who had been blocking the bed also retreated to one side after seeing this, revealing the person who was half leaning on the bed.
"Are you down?" Huaiyu grinned when he saw him.
Entering through the door, Jiang Xuanjin walked slowly to the bed and sat down, stroked the hem of his clothes and said, "There are few court affairs today, so I will leave early."
After speaking, he raised his eyes to stare at her again, without blinking his dark eyes.
Huaiyu blushed a little from his sudden hot gaze: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xuanjin said slowly, "Look at how vicious and cold-blooded you are."
Li Huaiyu: "..."
Realizing that Mr. Ziyang is here to support Bai Zhuji, everyone in the room looked unhappy. They still haven't figured out why Lord Ziyang married Bai Zhuji, let alone that he would protect her so far.
Bai Xuanji frowned, pinched the veil and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly knelt down. His knee hit the ground with a "bang".
"Your Majesty!" she said with tears in her eyes, "Please, Your Majesty, save my mother!"
Li Huaiyu couldn't help sighing, identity is really a good thing, these people threatened and pulled the quilt towards her, but knelt down and worshiped Jiang Xuanjin. Listen to the sound of kneeling on the ground, your knees are blue when you go back, right
However, Second Miss Bai didn't seem to care about her knees at all, she only stared at Jiang Xuanjin, and said in a sad voice: "As long as I can save my mother, Xuanji can do anything!"
Looking sideways at her, Jiang Xuanjin asked, "Really?"
Bai Xuanji nodded again and again, Li Huaiyu was a little moved by the look of seeing death like home.
However, Jiang Xuanjin still had no expression on his face, and only said: "In that case, I will show you the way."
Eyes lit up, Bai Xuanji hurriedly said, "Please tell me, Your Majesty!"
"Enter the palace to face the saint, and go to ask His Majesty for mercy." Jiang Xuanjin said, "This case is His Majesty's trial and verdict, and even I can't overturn it. But the second lady is so filial, she can report to Her Majesty and replace Bai Mengshi. Take the blame."
In other words, let Bai Mengshi come out. She went in and was imprisoned for eighteen years.
Bai Xuanji's face darkened without even thinking about it: "How is this possible?"
She is young and not yet married, so how can she go to jail
"Isn't it okay to do anything?" Seeing her reaction, Jiang Xuanjin frowned, "Second Miss's filial piety is not worth eighteen years in prison?"
How could it be worth it? What she wants is to rescue Bai Mengshi without paying any price, not to suffer by herself! Bai Xuanji gritted her teeth, her face turned blue and white. No, no, no, just knelt down stiffly.
So Jiang Xuanjin asked the people next to him: "Are any of you willing to take the blame?"
A group of people in the room looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to answer. Anyone can do lip service, but you have to suffer to save someone... Who is stupid to go!
Seeing the red, orange, red, blue, green and purple in the room, Li Huaiyu was overjoyed, and couldn't help reaching out secretly, hooking Jiang Xuanjin's finger next to him.
Jiang Xuanjin paused, gave her a serious look, and put his hands back into his sleeves. His back was straight, with an inviolable appearance.
Seeing his reaction, Huaiyu couldn't help swallowing.
She kind of wanted to kiss him.
There are so many Bai family members around, and the atmosphere is still dignified. It's really irrelevant for her to have such an idea suddenly! shameless!
But for some reason, she didn't like to see Jiang Xuanjin's serious appearance. He had no expression on his face, so she wanted to make him so colorful. He had a straight face, and she just wanted to make him blush. He was sitting dignifiedly, with his clothes sealed up to his Adam's apple, and she just wanted to kiss him, tease him, and tear his clothes open!
Realizing that he was a little shameless, Huaiyu slapped himself on the face lightly.
Jiang Xuanjin next to him was still dealing with the members of the Bai family.
"Think about it for a while and the second lady will not be able to make a decision." He said, "It's better to go back and think about it. When you figure it out, you will enter the palace. I will lead the way."
There was a step, Bai Xuanji immediately went down, got up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the little girl will leave first."
"No."
A group of people were still upset, but they had nothing to say right now, so they could only follow Bai Xuanji out in desperation.
When the last person crossed the threshold, Li Huaiyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, propped himself up and threw himself on Jiang Xuanjin, pinched his chin and kissed him.
This action was caught off guard, and Jiang Xuanjin was taken advantage of by her before he could react at all. He was dazed for a while, before recovering and reprimanded: "You're crazy again!"
Licking her lips satiatedly, Huaiyu hooked his neck with a smile: "This is repayment, the king is a hero who saves the beauty, the little girl has nothing to repay, but can only promise with a kiss."
Strong words! Jiang Xuanjin gritted her teeth and reached out to push her back into the bed. Who would have thought that this person would hold on to his skirt, and when he pressed it, she fell back, even pulling him so that he couldn't sit still.
"Master, everything has been packed." Seeing that all the Bai family members had left, Cheng Xu stepped in and said, "Is there anything else I missed..."
As soon as he looked up and saw the situation on the bed, all the rest of his words stuck in his throat.
Ziyang Jun, who has always been upright and self-reliant, is currently pressing Miss Bai Si on the bed, with his hands on her side, his movements are intimate and ambiguous. Miss Bai Si lay obediently, biting her index finger, her eyes were full of innocence.
Chengxu turned around and ran almost immediately.
"Stop!" The veins on his forehead twitched, Jiang Xuanjin turned to look at him, "Why are you running!"
Chengxu makes someone want to cry, can he not run away? Breaking through this kind of thing, what if the master kills and silences him
Trembling and turning back, Chengxu covered his eyes and said, "This subordinate didn't see anything!"
Standing up and leaving the bed, Jiang Xuanjin stretched out his hand and rubbed between his brows: "It's not what you think."
"The subordinate understands! The subordinate understands everything!" Chengxu nodded repeatedly.
Understand what a ghost! Jiang Xuanjin's ears turned red with anger.
"Hahaha—" Li Huaiyu on the bed laughed out of breath, grabbed the quilt and beat the bed. Lord Ziyang's famous name in the first life will be ruined in her hands today!
Looking at her coldly, Jiang Xuanjin clenched his fists and asked, "Do you want to invite the Bai family back to chat with you?"
Suffocated by laughter, Huaiyu coughed a few times, and honestly covered herself with the quilt: "No need."
After thinking about it, he asked Chengxu again: "You just said, what are you packing?"
Chengxu covered his eyes and said: "My master told me that since Bai Mengshi has been imprisoned, we should go back to the Jiang Mansion. The wedding is approaching, so it is inappropriate to be guests in the Bai Mansion."
Are you leaving? Huaiyu's face collapsed, and she looked at Jiang Xuanjin reluctantly: "Then how about another kiss?"
Jiang Xuanjin turned her head and left, pulling Chengxu out together with her, so as not to listen to her nonsense.
Li Huaiyu laughed again, making flowers tremble.
May 21st is the wedding day, and as soon as Jiang Xuanjin returns to the Jiang Mansion, the White Mansion will start preparing for the wedding. However, just like what Bai Liang threatened, Li Huaiyu did not intercede with Bai Meng as they wished, so naturally there were many people in the mansion who made her trip up.
"What is this?" Lingxiu frowned after taking the wedding dress that was just delivered, "It's too ordinary."
Simple red silk, simple mandarin duck pattern, although there is nothing wrong with it, but if you want to go to Jiangfu in this suit, doesn't it look stingy and shabby
Huaiyu looked at it and asked, "Who prepared it?"
"Of course it's the Bailiang family. Now that the wife is in prison and the master is busy with political affairs, the elders of the family will take over these trivial matters."
That's not surprising, Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "Leave it alone."
Although Bai Dezhong said that Bai Mengshi was sent to prison because of righteousness, but Bai Mengshi was fined and imprisoned for eighteen years. He must also feel sad. It is too unkind to ask him to take care of these trivial matters at this moment. As long as he could enter the Jiang Mansion, Li Huaiyu really didn't care much about how he got in or how the scene was.
However, within two days, Bai Dezhong came to see her.
"How are you?" He asked seriously.
Huaiyu nodded: "I can get out of bed and walk around. It's just that I'm still weak. The nurse said it's okay to have a good baby."
"That's good." Bai De sighed again, "Although there are changes in the family, your marriage should not be sloppy. As a father, I don't know how to prepare a dowry. If you get married before your second sister, use her dowry first. Bar."
Upon hearing this, Li Huaiyu laughed: "Second Sister is definitely not happy."
"Being a father will ask someone to prepare another one for her. What is she not happy about?" Bai Dezhong frowned, "They are all daughters of the Bai family, and the dowry is on top, so the father will treat them equally."
He really figured it out this time, Zhuji had an inescapable responsibility for this life-and-death disaster. Right now, there is no way to make up for it elsewhere, so I can only give more dowry. The dowry is the best way to show how favored a daughter is in her natal family, and what Bai Mengshi prepared for Xuanji should be just right.
Li Huaiyu laughed to himself for a while, and said to him: "Father, if the second sister troubles me, you have to cover me."
What hood? Bai Dezhong was taken aback for a moment, and his brows furrowed again.
He originally came here with a loving father's heart, intending to show concern for Zhuji, but when he heard her speak out of order, his habit of lecturing others woke up again.
"Where did you learn these nonsense words?" He stared, "Is it something that a boudoir lady should say?"
Of course not, it was all said by people in the world. As a well-known snitch in Jianghu, Jiuwu personally taught Li Huaiyu many Jianghu slang words, which caused her, a girl who grew up in the palace, to have a ruffian air all over her body.
Bai Dezhong obviously didn't appreciate this ruffian, whether it was Princess Danyang or his own daughter, they had to lecture them when they ran into them.
"The "Women's Commandments" says: Women have four behaviors, the second is women's words. Choose words to say, don't say harsh words, and speak later, never tire of others, it is called women's words! See for yourself, have you done it? "
Huaiyu shook her head honestly: "I didn't do it."
"Correct if you haven't done it?" Bai Dezhong's eyes widened.
With a long sigh, Li Huaiyu seriously reasoned with him with his fingers: "Father, you see, there are thousands of girls in this world, if they all use a book of "Women's Commandments" to make them look the same, then Lord Ziyang will marry me." How is it different from marrying someone else?"
Bai De choked heavily, frowned and thought about it.
Before he could figure it out, Huaiyu continued: "Do you think the girl from the Qi family has learned "The Commandments for Women" well? People in the whole capital praise her for being gentle and virtuous. Why didn't Mr. Ziyang marry her? It's because he doesn't like it. Such a girl. Since he doesn't like it, why should I learn from him as the person he wants to marry?"
This seems to make sense? Bai De fell into deep thought.
Li Huaiyu continued to talk nonsense: "You have two daughters, if they are exactly the same, what's the point? If the second sister is gentle and dignified, then I will be lively and generous. Each has its own merits."
After pondering for a long time, Bai Dezhong finally noticed something was wrong, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? My father told you not to say inappropriate words. Where did you go?"
Li Huaiyu scratched his head: "Aren't we talking about the same thing?"
"No!" Patting the table, Bai De said again, "Before you marry into the Jiang family, you have to learn the rules!"
Huaiyu's face fell.
It's not that she doesn't know the rules, she's just too lazy to follow them. How much she imagined that she could roam the rivers and lakes as she wanted like Jiu Wu, but unfortunately she didn't have a chance, she couldn't wander in the rivers and lakes, and she couldn't be unrestrained in the government and the public, she was really aggrieved.
But seeing Bai Dezhong's terribly angry appearance, she thought, she should do her filial piety for Bai Zhuji, and save the old man some trouble.
So in the next few days, Li Huaiyu was unusually well-behaved, walked every step of the way with small lotus steps, greeted Bai Dezhong, and restrained his minions, nodding and bowing gently.
Bai Dezhong was very satisfied. He felt that dead wood could also be carved.
However, on this day, Li Huaiyu was blocked by Bai Zhuji as soon as Li Huaiyu was about to return to the South Courtyard after asking Ann.
"Second sister, what's the matter?" She pinched the orchid finger and asked very politely.
Bai Xuanji's face was gloomy, and she said in a very bad tone: "You actually told father that you want my betrothal gift?"
Huaiyu said calmly, "It's not what I want, it's my father's decision."
"If you don't want it, dad will make such a decision?" Bai Xuanji said sharply, "My mother prepared my dowry for me. Why do you want to grab it?"
Bai Mengshi was partial to her, and gave her a large and good dowry, which she saved for a long time. How could it be so absurd to let this fool take advantage of it now!
Huaiyu covered her lips with a smile, still said gently: "I have no control over this matter, if Second Sister is not happy, she can talk to Dad."
After finishing speaking, he turned sideways and took lotus steps to leave.
However, Bai Xuanji didn't intend to let her go, seeing that she wanted to slip away. He reached out and grabbed her arm: "You and I will go and talk to Dad!"
The long nails pinched her, a little painful.
Li Huaiyu turned his head, and the face that was smiling dignifiedly just now sank in an instant.
"I am pleasant to you, do you think I am a soft persimmon?" Pulling her hand away and throwing it aside, Huaiyu stretched out her hand and pushed the weak girl against the wall behind her, and stepped on it with her foot. Standing beside her, he said in a cold voice, "If you don't listen to me when I talk to you, how about another way?"
"I stole your dowry, what's wrong?"
Bai Xuanji was taken aback by her yelling, and stopped whining, leaning against the wall and looking at her stupidly.
It's not because Li Huaiyu is rude, sometimes being rude is better than being gentle. Reaching out to pat the non-existent dust on Bai Xuanji's shoulder, she smiled mischievously: "At the beginning you wronged me for stealing your betrothal gift, what did I say, do you still remember?"
—Bai Xuanji, you'd better give evidence today to prove that I stole your dowry. Otherwise, I guarantee that after stealing your dowry, there won't be even a single thread left!
Remember what she said at the time. Bai Xuanji was shocked, guilty and angry, staring at the person in front of her, wishing to have someone arrest her and beat her up like before!
However, now that Bai Mengshi is no longer in the mansion, Bai Zhuji is not as easy to bully fools as before.
Clenching her hands tightly, Bai Xuanji said bitterly: "You are proud now, don't think that you will always be proud in the future, Feng Shui will take turns."
"Oh." Withdrawing his legs, Huaiyu nodded, "Then wait for Fengshui to go to your place."
After saying that, he turned his head and left.
Lingxiu has been watching from the side, and was worried that her young lady would be bullied, but when she saw that the young lady bullied someone else, she immediately covered her mouth with joy.
"Miss is amazing!"
Glancing at her sideways, Huaiyu said angrily, "Don't you expect me to learn more manners? I was very unruly just now."
Lingxiu shook her head hastily: "Your servant understands now, there is no need to behave with such a person, you will be at a disadvantage!"
Huaiyu was very pleased and said: "Children can be taught."
Gentle people in this world are easy to suffer. They treat everyone well, but they won't be treated well by everyone. I met someone who pushed his nose on his face. I will also rely on your gentleness to make further progress.
Li Huaiyu has always felt that as long as what he does is not wrong, it doesn't matter if his attitude is fierce like a bad person. Although the consequence of this is that it is easy to be regarded as a real bad person, but what does it matter? Can save a lot of trouble, and act smoothly. As for how others judge her, does it matter
"It's so important!"
Beside the carriage at the gate of the palace, Jiang Shen yelled out these four words with a serious face, and persuaded the people in front of him earnestly: "This is your first time getting married, and how many people will come to watch the ceremony at that time, do you think the wedding dress is important or not?" ?”
Jiang Xuanjin shook her head expressionlessly: "It's not important."
"You can't do this!" Jiang Shen was anxious, "I have already made an agreement with the shopkeeper Ye of the Brocade Pavilion, and I will take you there no matter what."
"Second brother, I still have something to do." Jiang Xuanjin said, "National affairs are more important than family affairs."
"Don't tell me these things, the old man said, now your marriage is the biggest thing in the world!" But Jiang Shen stretched out his hand and pushed him directly into the carriage.
Jiang Xuanjin's face was not very good-looking, and she frowned and stared at him.
Jiang Shen's scalp was numb from being stared at, and he let the driver set off first, and then whispered: "There is no way to do this. Seeing that the wedding is approaching, you haven't tried on the wedding dress yet. If it doesn't fit, it's too late to change , isn’t it a joke to dress at a wedding?”
"Besides, those who are going to get married should be very happy to try on wedding clothes. You have lived in the White Mansion for so long, and you must really like Miss Bai Si. Since you like it, how can you be so careless about marriage?"
Jiang Shen's lip service has always been good, but it is a pity that it is of no use to Jiang Xuanjin. No matter what he says, the third son of Jiang who was prevented from entering the palace has always been sullen and full of hostility.
Chengxu listened outside the car, thinking that the second son is not easy, his master's temper is really not easy for ordinary people to coax.
When he arrived at the Brocade Manor, Jiang Shen was so frozen by the eyes of his third younger brother that he dared not speak, he hurriedly pushed him into the shop, and he was relieved to see him follow others to change clothes.
"I really love that Miss Bai Si." He sighed towards Chengxu, "When I get married, I will face the coffin face of my third brother every day."
"Second Young Master, you are worrying too much."
"Um?"
Thinking of that powerful aunt of the Bai family, Chengxu said with a melancholy face: "Wait until she gets married. I'm afraid you will feel sorry for our master."
What? Jiang Shen was stunned, looked at him, then looked back into the Brocade Manor, shook his head and said, "How is that possible!"
Bystanders are confused, authorities are clear! Chengxu sighed.
in the room.
Jiang Xuanjin frowned and stared at the wedding dress held by the shopkeeper in front of him, and said with disgust, "It's too gorgeous."
The shopkeeper was stunned, not knowing why: "You mean this suit?"
"color."
"..." Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the shopkeeper said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, the wedding clothes are all red!"
"Who made the rules?"
"The rules...the rules are not determined by anyone, but..." Pointing to the wedding dresses hanging behind his head, Shopkeeper Ye apologized, "Everyone is like this."
Looking in the direction he pointed, Jiang Xuanjin was slightly taken aback.
On the front shelf over there hung a bright red wedding dress, with golden embroidered lotus flowers blooming from the corner of the skirt all the way to the waist, which was closed by the auspicious cloud pattern belt, and a very luxurious flower bloomed on the tube top. The peonies come. The peonies were embroidered extremely well, layer upon layer, matching the pattern embroidered on the skirt of the outer robe, giving it a luxurious atmosphere.
After watching for a while, Jiang Xuanjin asked, "Whose wedding dress is this made for?"
Shopkeeper Ye cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's not for anyone. Our village also has a garment business, but there has never been a store treasure, so the villain specially invited thirty embroiderers to embroider this set. Wealthy and Tilian, I plan to put it in the store to suppress the situation."
As he said that, he felt that Ziyang Jun's eyes were not quite right, so he quickly added: "This is not for sale."
"Not for sale?"
"It can't be sold!"
…
Jiang Shen and Chengxu outside waited for a long time, but no one came out after changing clothes, thinking that he was not satisfied with the clothes. Just about to go in and have a look, Jiang Xuanjin came out by himself.
The person who had a gloomy breath just now, for some reason now, not only opened his eyebrows, but also turned his head back and nodded gently to Shopkeeper Ye behind him.
Jiang Shen looked him up and down puzzled: "Why are you still wearing this?"
Caressing the green robe on his body, Jiang Xuanjin said: "I have tried the hi-fu, and it fits well, so there is no need to change it."
Jiang Shen stared: "You just try it on and it's over? You don't want to wear it for the second brother to see?"
Glancing at him, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Trouble."
Jiang Shen is so angry! He is his second brother anyway, dear second brother! It's fine if he treats you coldly, and don't even show him the wedding clothes
"Master, what is this?" Seeing that the shopkeeper Ye handed over a dozen heavy brocade boxes with a bitter face, he didn't know why.
"Xifu?" Jiang Shen turned his head to look, a little puzzled, "Why are there so many?"
For ordinary men's wedding clothes, a set of four boxes is enough, which is good, more than a dozen! Pile it in Chengxu's hands, blocking his head.
"It's nothing." Jiang Xuanjin walked out calmly, and said as he walked, "I still have something to do, so the second brother can find a car and go back by himself."
Jiang Shen stared dumbfounded at him leaving, leaning against the counter and laughing angrily: "I'm provoking someone, why do I have such a vengeful brother?"
Shopkeeper Ye behind the counter said tremblingly: "I'm the one who provoked who..."
Chengxu put the brocade box on the carriage and put it away, and told the coachman: "Go back outside the palace gate."
The coachman nodded and was about to respond, but he heard the people in the carriage muffled: "Let's go to Baifu first."
Um? Chengxu was puzzled: "Aren't you still in a hurry to enter the palace for business?"
Jiang Xuanjin was silent for a long time, and then said: "It's not too urgent."
Chengxu: "..." If you're not in a hurry, why did you scare the second young master like that
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he got on the shaft and told the driver: "Listen to the master, go to the White Mansion."
"yes."
The carriage was bumping, and the brocade boxes piled up on the carriage were staggering. Jiang Xuanjin looked at it coldly, suddenly a little annoyed.
Why did you remember to buy something for someone? Or something like this! Wouldn't it be too polite to send it over like this
However, Bai Zhuji Niang died early, and she was clumsy, so the one who was going to come out must not be as good-looking. Instead of losing his face by then, it is better to save him now.
But... what if she doesn't like this
With a calm and indifferent face, the thoughts hidden under it were ups and downs, happy for a while, regretted for a while, and a little angry for a while, and he couldn't settle down the whole way.
So, when Li Huaiyu was moving his hands and feet in the yard, he saw a shadow swaying at the gate of the yard.
"Who?" She subconsciously snapped.
No one answered her.
Staring at the door suspiciously for a while, Huaiyu thought, maybe it's some passing house slave! So I didn't look at it any more, and continued to move my hands and feet.
But after a while, the shadow swayed at the door again.
Frowning warily, Huaiyu put her hands on her hips: "He Fangxiao is young?"
Still no one answered her.
Turning his eyes, Huaiyu continued to stretch his arms calmly, moving towards the gate of the courtyard while stretching.
When the shadow swayed over for the third time, she reacted extremely quickly and rushed out to catch him. He shouted: "Where can the thief escape!"
Jiang Xuanjin looked down at her indifferently.
Meeting his eyes, Li Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately let go of the hand that was holding his skirt and smoothed the wrinkles for him, and said with a smile, "Why is it you?"
With a soft snort, Jiang Xuanjin turned to look behind her.
Huaiyu followed him in confusion, and saw a person standing there tremblingly holding a stack of brocade boxes.
"Huh? This is Chengxu?" Curiously, he walked around the brocade box and looked at the back, Huaiyu laughed loudly, "Your master is too cruel, why did you let you hold so many things by yourself?"
Chengxu put his face on the brocade box, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be cruel, this subordinate can hug it."
If you can hug him, you can hug him, but why did you let him stand here for so long? They have already arrived at the place, why on earth did the master not go in after wandering around for so long!
Shouting in his heart, Chengxu squeezed out a difficult smile on his face.
Seeing how pitiful he was, Huaiyu hurriedly dragged Jiang Xuanjin into the yard, and asked him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head indifferently: "I don't want to."
Huaiyu stared: "Then what are you doing here today?"
"Passing by."
"..." Throwing away his hand, Huaiyu put his hands on his hips angrily, "I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to live on from now on, stay and buy road money!"
With a wave of his hand in the air, Jiang Xuanjin took it back by himself. Glancing at her, he reached for a brocade box and stuffed it into her arms.
"what?"
Jiang Xuanjin said solemnly: "Buy road money."
Looking at him strangely, Huaiyu stretched out his hand to open the box, took a look and then froze in place.
The bright red silk and satin are stacked, and the golden embroidered Yaochi Chunxiao peonies are stacked on top, which is gorgeous, noble and lifelike.
This is... a wedding dress
Stunned, she reached out to touch it, and she looked up at Jiang Xuanjin.
The person in front of him turned his head and looked away, his jaw was a little tense. Although he looked expressionless, he seemed a little nervous.
"Second brother asked me to try Xifu today." He said, "I saw this thing during the test, and second brother said it suits you very well, so I'll show it to you."
After a pause, he said again: "If you don't want it, you can give it to Lingxiu. She will need it when she gets married in the future."
Some can't laugh or cry. Huaiyu tilted her head and looked at him: "What if Lingxiu doesn't need it?"
"Then you throw it away." His heart sank, his face darkened, Jiang Xuanjin flicked his sleeves, turned around and wanted to leave.
However, before he could take any further steps, someone grabbed his hand.
Holding the wedding dress box in one hand, and clasping him hard with the other, Li Huaiyu grinned, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "You, why can't you speak well when you give something?"
"..." Stiff, he turned his head slowly, frowning at her.
"Shall I teach you?"
Huaiyu blinked, then imitated his appearance, and said in a rough voice: "Second brother asked me to try on the wedding clothes today. When I saw the clothes, I thought of you and thought you would look good in them, so I bought them. Send you off. Do you like it?"
After speaking, she looked up at him, her eyes seemed to have opened a pool of spring water, and she resumed her original voice and said in a low voice: "I really like it!"
I like it!
His heart seemed to be hit by something, Jiang Xuanjin looked at her in a daze, and she held her hand and shook it lightly. The body that was still tense just now was shaken loose.
This person is really good at talking nonsense, he thought, but she had a pretty smile, which matched the peony.
People in the Northern Wei Dynasty loved peonies a lot, but he didn't take it seriously before, thinking it was just admiration for wealth and honor. But looking at it now... this flower is actually not bad.
"Would you like me to show you the clothes?" Huaiyu asked with a smile.
Jiang Xuanjin came back to her senses, shook off her hand and said, "I said I was passing by, and I have to go into the palace."
"Ah..." Huaiyu was a little annoyed, but she turned around and smiled again, winking at him and said, "Then, let's see it on the wedding night!"
"..." Shameless!
With a soft snort, Jiang Xuanjin strode away, walking very fast, as if being chased by a dog. Huaiyu was delighted to see it, and hurriedly called Lingxiu to help move the other brocade boxes into the house.
"Have you ever heard a sentence?"
When Li Huaiyu was moving things in full swing, someone asked her a question.
Upon hearing this voice, she said without even turning back, "Shopkeeper Lu, if you have something to say, finish it at once."
Lu Jingxing sat on the window sill of her room shaking his fan, looking at her sideways. With a half-smile, he said: "I want to finish, but you have to calm down and listen."
Lingxiu looked at him dumbfounded, and then looked out the window: "When did you come?"
"It's been a while." Putting his fan away, he turned over and entered the room. Lu Jingxing took out a bag of pastries from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lingxiu's hand. "I came in a hurry and didn't go through the main entrance. I ask Miss Lingxiu to help me find the wind."
What about "coming in a hurry", even if he is not in a hurry, this person has never walked through the main entrance, okay? Huaiyu rolled his eyes, waved Lingxiu to pick up the pastry and went out, then looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"
Fengyan looked at her quietly, and Lu Jingxing said, "Whoever plays with fire must die."
Slightly taken aback, Li Huaiyu frowned: "You came here to curse me?"
"It's not a curse." Lu Jingxing sighed, "It's a reminder."
Just now he was watching from the side. If he didn't know what she was thinking, he would have almost seriously thought that this was a pair of lovers who were about to get married. He didn't know if Li Huaiyu was tempted or not, but Jiang Xuanjin looked like that...
If the truth came to light, he was afraid that she would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Don't worry!" Huaiyu gave him a funny look, "I've thought carefully before doing anything, and there won't be any major mistakes. In the future, when he finds out that I'm lying to him, at most he wants my life. But I’ve already died once, so what are you afraid of?”
Shaking his head angrily, Lu Jingxing said, "You are really my ancestor."
"Grandson." Unceremoniously taking advantage of the words, Huaiyu packed up the wedding dress and asked him, "How is the matter going?"
Lu Jingxing pursed his lips: "It's pretty smooth, Jiang Xuanjin has secretly re-examined several palace officials from Fulu Palace, but... there is something very strange."
"What?"
"If it's true as you said, Jiang Xuanjin was the mastermind behind the murder of you, then at least the Tingwei Mansion should belong to him. But this time he flipped the old case, but it aroused the resistance of the Tingwei Mansion."
"Huh?" Huaiyu frowned, "How is it possible? Lieutenant Liu Yunlie and Jiang Xuanjin can be regarded as close friends for life and death."
"Liu Tingwei didn't make any noise, but the people below are in a mess, and I didn't understand it." Lu Jingxing sighed, "I'm just a businessman, why should I play official intrigue with you?"
Glancing at him, Li Huaiyu stretched out his thumb: "Your ancestor is Princess Danyang."
Then stretch out the index finger: "Your elder brother is General Xu Xian Xu."
"Han Xiao, the important minister of the two dynasties, and Yun Lanqing, the upstart of the current dynasty, are all your friends. Yushi Bai Dezhong and Ziyang Lord Jiang Xuanjin all regard you as a thorn in their side."
"With such a relationship, you tell me that you are just a businessman?"
His forehead twitched. Lu Jingxing squeezed the fan in his hand tightly, and asked through gritted teeth, "Who do you owe this to?"
"Me." Pointing at himself without guilt, Li Huaiyu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "So I'm saving you, letting you adapt to the officialdom in advance, so that you won't be killed in a daze in the future .”
"Thank you very much!" Lu Jingxing cupped his hands towards her.
"Which one of us is with whom? You're welcome!" After laughing twice, she reached out to him, "Where's the congratulatory gift?"
Just as he slapped her palm with his fan, Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "Your wedding dress is so red that I'm in a bad mood, so I won't give you any congratulatory gifts."
What kind of bad excuse is this? Huaiyu squinted at him: "The wedding dress is not red, can it be green?"
Lu Jingxing paused for a moment, then his eyes shone brightly with a smile: "Maybe it's blue?"
"Blue?" Huai Yu gave him a white look, "Then you will wear blue when you get married. If you wear red, I will be anxious to you!"
"Okay." Lu Jingxing agreed very casually.
What's wrong with blue? He remembered that she wore it, with wide sleeves and a waist, with several brightly colored birds embroidered on it. When climbing over the wall, the hem of the skirt fluttered, and the bird seemed to be alive, and it was so beautiful.
That was two years ago. Danyang was stubborn, took him over the wall to drink at other people's wedding banquets, and even made the groom, whom he had never met, completely drunk. When he came back, his cheeks were slightly red, but he was smiling happily.
"It's so fun to get married," she said, "When can I get married too?"
At that time, he sighed and said to her: "Don't think about it anymore, with your status and style, no one in the whole world would dare to marry you, so be honest and respect yourself."
Danyang was very unconvinced, stared at him and said: "I don't care, I want to get married too, and I want to do it now!"
His eyes were misty and foggy, clearly a drunken madman.
He coaxed her helplessly: "Okay, Cheng, how do you want to do it?"
Danyang kicked him in the hollow of his knee with such force that he immediately fell to his knees.
Lu Jingxing really wanted to scold her at the time, but before he could utter the words, she also knelt down beside him with a "plop", cupped her hands towards the sky, muttered something, and then slapped him on the back of the head, forcing Watching him kowtow with her.
"It's a ceremony." After knocking, she said with a smile, "We're married too!"
His knees hurt and the back of his head hurt too. Lu Jingxing didn't feel the joy of getting married at all.
But thinking about it now, he felt that the moonlight that night was actually very good.
However, the person in front of him obviously didn't remember it for a long time, and looked at him with an expression of looking at a fool, his little nose was wrinkled, and his eyes were full of disgust.
Lu Jingxing said angrily, "I'm leaving."
"Walk slowly." Huaiyu waved to him.
Turning around and taking two steps, Lu Jingxing stopped, and still couldn't help but turn around and ask her, "Do you know how to worship?"
"How do I know?" Li Huaiyu curled his lips, "I've seen you and Xu Xian worship each other. I guess it's about the same. They always call out Second Master Guan and then kowtow to salute."
Lu Jingxing: "..."
So, when she "married" with him two years ago, she was chanting, "Second Master Guan is here"
After being dazed for a moment, Lu Jingxing burst out laughing, his body trembling a little.
"What's wrong?" Huaiyu looked at him inexplicably, "What are you laughing at?"
"Swipe" to cover his eyebrows and eyes, Lu Jingxing said in a muffled voice, "Ancestor, do you know that Second Master Guan doesn't care about marriage?"
"Really?" Huaiyu scratched his head, "Let's just ignore it, what's the big deal?"
Lu Jingxing didn't speak any more, stood up straight, and left without looking back.
Looking at his back, Huaiyu felt that he didn't seem to be lying to her, and she was really in a bad mood today.
"Then no congratulatory gifts." She muttered softly.
In the next few days, Li Huaiyu was busy preparing for marriage and learning the rules, and taught the nun a lot of ramblings, but she responded with huh, huh, but didn't listen to a word. The day before the big wedding, Bai Dezhong came over to tell her not to be nervous.
Li Huaiyu was really not nervous, she just prayed that nothing would go wrong in this marriage.
However, the sky failed as people wished, and on the day of marriage, she had just changed into her wedding clothes when something happened.
"Where did this come from?" Mrs. Bai Liang stared at the flowers blooming on her body, and her face was very ugly. "Where is the wedding dress I prepared for you?"
Looking at her in the mirror, Huaiyu asked, "Isn't it okay for me to wear this suit?"
"You...you don't pay attention to me as an aunt!" Bai Liang said angrily, "Do you have to wear this suit? Good! If you wear this suit, we won't go to the wedding !"
As soon as these words came out, Lingxiu next to her became anxious: "How can my mother's family not go to drink on the big day?"
According to the rules of the Northern Wei Dynasty, a banquet was held to welcome relatives, and a "maiden's family banquet" was set up at the banquet. The number of relatives from the natal family who attended the banquet represented the importance the natal family attached to the daughter. When other people marry their daughters, all the relatives have to go to fill the seats, but they are so nice that they can't say it.
"The fourth girl has climbed up to Lord Ziyang, and her vision is high. She doesn't need relatives like us." Bai Liang snorted, "Since we don't need it, what should we do?"
"you… "
Stretching out her hand to hold Lingxiu, Huaiyu yawned: "Do your makeup first, don't waste the time."
Look at her attitude. Bai Liang's face turned blue, and he stared at her angrily and said, "Don't beg us later!"
After speaking, he turned his head and took away all the uncles and aunts in the room.
Lingxiu's eyes were red, and she whispered: "There is no such thing as an elder, and the big day will be embarrassing."
"Leave them alone," Huaiyu said, "It's okay if they don't go."
"How can it be okay!" Lingxiu stomped her feet and explained to her, "If there is no one sitting at the banquet at the natal family, the Jiang family will look down on you in the future! Besides, there are so many people at the banquet, and they empty the seats, isn't it a joke for the guests? ?”
"It's already like this, don't they have to go?" Huaiyu shrugged, "Anyway, I won't change this wedding dress."
Lingxiu was momentarily at a loss for words, and after a while of anxiety, she could only let out a long sigh.
However, Bai Liang and the others were far from stopping like this.
The dowry for marriage has already been carried to the south courtyard, but after checking the list, Lingxiu frowned: "Why are twelve loads missing?"
The dowry that Bai Mengshi prepared for Bai Xuanji was a full twenty-six dan, but after counting it now, it was only 14 dan. Not to mention less, this number is extremely unlucky. Anyone who sees it will frown.
"It really doesn't stop." Li Huaiyu was a little irritable.
The people in the mansion were so busy that they were all overwhelmed. The group of Bai Liang and Bai Xuanji were all sitting in the gazebo watching the play.
"Against us? Let's see who is at a disadvantage!" Bai Liu said triumphantly, knocking on the melon seeds, "It's amazing to change into a wedding dress, and she will look good later!"
"There are a lot of people watching the excitement outside." Bai Xuanji smiled, "When the dowry is brought out, each family has to discuss and compare. Even if she enters the Jiangfu's door, she will live her life in the future, and her back will not be straight."
"It's not just straight? You know the second young lady of the Jiang family, right? The dowry was shabby when she got married, and the banquet at her mother's house was not full. Do you think the second son of the Jiang family takes her seriously? The second son took her seriously within half a year after entering the house." Got three concubines, tsk tsk, what a pain!"
Saying this, everyone felt relieved, they chattered about making up Bai Zhuji's future hard days, and laughed happily for a while.
However, laughing and laughing, there was a commotion at the gate of the mansion.
Bai Xuanji turned her head to the side, and saw a man in a happy attire surrounded by the crowd coming in. The man was used to wearing light colors on weekdays, but today he was dressed in bright red. Not only was it not strange, but it made that face even more handsome. Her pupils were like black ink, her lips were pursed crimson, and she could move her cuffs casually, making them three-pointed gracefully and seven-pointed elegant. If he looked up inadvertently, the spring scenery of April fell on his brows.
There was silence in the gazebo.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xuanjin in silence, watched him cross the vestibule to the south courtyard, and watched him carry out Bai Zhuji who was covered with a hijab.
"As long as you can enter his door, who cares how hard the future will be?" someone whispered.
Bai Xuanji pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Xuanjin's back, feeling very unwilling. She even couldn't help thinking, if she hadn't snatched Bai Zhuji's marriage at the beginning, would it be her who Jun Ziyang would marry now
"You have to be ready."
In front of the gate of the White Mansion, Li Huaiyu, who was covering his head, whispered to the man who was hugging him: "A lot of accidents may happen today."
"It has already happened." Jiang Xuanjin said.
"Ah?" Startled, Huaiyu reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "What did you see?"
"I didn't see it, but I felt it." He reached out and weighed her, and he frowned, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You are much heavier."
Li Huaiyu: "..."
What a surprise! She has been replenishing her body during this time, so it's no surprise that she's not heavy!
Gritting her teeth, she pinched him, and it was too late to say anything more. The bride arrived in front of the sedan chair, put it down and was stuffed into it.
Lingxiu followed beside the sedan chair, looking back nervously.
"The auspicious time has come, start—"
Xi Niang yelled, and the eight-carried sedan chair left the ground. As the wedding procession moved forward, the bride's dowry was carried out of the mansion in loads and followed behind.
The gate of the Bai Mansion was full of onlookers, some praised Mr. Ziyang for his unparalleled beauty, some lamented that Miss Bai Si had a good life, and of course, more troublemakers were staring at the dowry behind.
Lord Ziyang gave the White House thirty-six dan dowries, which can be regarded as the highest regulation for the marriage of courtiers under the emperor. So, how much does the White House want to marry their daughter
"one two three… "
There were quite a few people counting, and Bai Liang and the others also came out to watch the joke. So what if you snatched Bai Xuanji's dowry? The only thing that was carried to Jiang's house for her today was the fourteen loads of things, which were even poorer than the second young lady of Jiang's family!
"... Thirteen, fourteen!"
Seeing that the red burden was broken when it counted to fourteen. Bai Liang waited to whisper to each other, and they laughed first. Fourteen, what will the people in Kyoto discuss about the small and unlucky dowry
The people who were counting were also surprised, frowning and stopped, and were about to speak, when they saw firecrackers suddenly exploded behind the broken fourteen loads of dowry!
"Crackling—" the sound was deafening, and instantly overwhelmed the suona gongs and drums welcoming the bride, and attracted everyone's attention.
