The smoke from the firecrackers filled the entire gate of the White Mansion. Everyone covered their ears and watched, but saw a foot stepping out of the white mist, and then an ordinary face appeared.
White house slave? Looking at this man's clothes, Bai Liang was very puzzled, how could there be a house slave coming out of the main gate at this time
However, in the next moment, she saw the burden on the slave's shoulders.
"Hey! There's more!" The counter saw something behind him with sharp eyes, and slapped his thigh and laughed, "Just say how can it be possible to only give fourteen loads of dowry!"
The two house slaves went out carrying the dowry burden covered with red silk, one behind the other. They started with them, followed by a series of domestic slaves, carrying the dowry in twos and chasing after the wedding party in front.
"Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen!..." The voice of counting the dowry sounded again.
Bai Liang was stunned, met Bai Xuanji's eyes, quickly shook his head and whispered: "I hid it well, they can't find it!"
"Everything is right in front of you, so what's the point of saying it's impossible?" Bai Liu blamed.
Bai Xuanji frowned, watching the load of dowry being carried out, her heart ached.
It's all hers...
However, pain and pain, she felt something was wrong.
"Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven... why is there more after that?"
The dowry that Bai Mengshi prepared for her was only twenty-six loads, and now more and more are being carried out from the mansion, it seems that there is no end.
"what happened?"
Let alone them, Lingxiu who was walking ahead was also dumbfounded when she looked back, and shouted again and again in a low voice: "Miss! Miss!"
Huaiyu, who was eating an apple in the sedan chair, replied inarticulately: "What's wrong?"
"In the future... a lot of dowry suddenly appeared in the future, thirty-five... thirty-six! Thirty-six dan! It's the same as the bride price in the Jiang family!"
The breath didn't go well, Huaiyu almost choked to death on the apple, coughed twice and asked in surprise, "Are you sure you counted correctly?"
"Not only the servants are counting, everyone is counting! Thirty-six loads, one load is not a lot!" Lingxiu was very excited.
Huaiyu was a little at a loss, thinking that the old man Bai Dezhong might be so mad that he made up the dowry for her? But it's impossible, he's busy welcoming guests today, how can he have the time to take care of these things
The red dowry followed at the end of the welcoming procession, stretching for half a street. The onlookers clicked their tongues in amazement, and said that Miss Bai Si was so lucky, not only her husband's family valued her, but her mother's family loved her too. With so much dowry brought over, who would dare to take her lightly in the future
Jiang Xuanjin rode his horse and walked in the front. I didn't hear what the people around me were talking about, I just felt that it was too noisy.
If he hadn't been forced to, he wouldn't have rode through the streets. Everywhere he looked was full of people, and he looked extremely irritable. What was even more annoying was that these people were still pointing fingers at him. Although they should all be praising him, he didn't feel happy at all.
Who in the end stipulated that the groom must welcome the bride
He was in a bad mood, and Jiang's bridegroom didn't smile at all. Not only did he not smile, but his face became more and more gloomy, so that in the end, the common people all guessed: Could it be that the emperor was forced to marry
Chengxu wanted to remind his master that this was a marriage, not a funeral! He decides to marry a man himself, even if he doesn't like to laugh, at least he should be happy!
However, as soon as he got close to him, he felt the coldness rushing towards his face, he shivered in vain, and swallowed all the words he had prepared without any hope.
Years of serving experience told him that when the master is angry, it is better not to provoke him...
So, Jiang Xuanjin sulked alone, and went all the way from the gate of Baifu to Jiang's house, so angry that Xi Niang didn't dare to hand him the sympathy knot.
"What's the matter?" Huaiyu couldn't help asking in a low voice when she felt that the sedan chair had fallen off, but there was no movement outside for a while.
Lingxiu answered her uneasily: "Your servant doesn't know either...Your Majesty is very well-behaved, but suddenly he became unhappy. Right now, he is standing at the gate of Jiangfu, and no one dares to approach him."
Angry again? Li Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "He is really a little princess!"
Such a bad temper is even worse than hers.
Lingxiu staggered in fright when she heard her words, and whispered while supporting the sedan chair, "Be more careful, it would be bad if your majesty heard it!"
"What are you panicking about?" Huaiyu said, "He doesn't eat people."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xuanjin came to the sedan chair with a sullen face.
Lingxiu was so frightened by his hostility that she backed away again and again, and murmured with a trembling voice: "Not necessarily..."
Huaiyu was about to ask what is not sure, but he heard the curtain of the sedan chair being pulled open.
"Take it." Someone fiercely stuffed the concentric knot into her hand.
Huaiyu caught it subconsciously, feeling his irritability and evil intentions, and with a sudden force, he pulled half of his body into the sedan chair.
"You..." Jiang Xuanjin was stunned, stretched out his hand on the sedan door, and frowned.
Smiling and raising the hijab half way, she looked at him and said, "What are you angry about?"
The face curtain swayed, unable to block her pair of sparkling eyes, looking at him with such a smile, like a spring breeze in bloom, and like a cloud hiding a bright moon. Instantly suppressed the noise outside.
The irritable breath suddenly faded a little, Jiang Xuanjin looked at her for a while with a straight face, and finally said in a muffled voice: "There are too many people."
There were too many of them, and they all stared at him again. It was very noisy and uncomfortable.
This tone is like a little princess acting like a baby.
Huaiyu felt soft-hearted when he heard this, took his hand and coaxed: "Can you bear with it? After the ceremony is over, I will peel the oranges for you to eat!"
"don't want."
"Oh, you're obedient." She stretched out her hand to straighten his skirt, and said softly, "The people outside have never seen angels descending to earth a few times in their life. Please show mercy and let them open their eyes. If they feel noisy, Just think they are reciting Buddhist scriptures!"
When Jiang Xuanjin heard this, she frowned seriously and began to think.
Seeing that the bride did not come out for a long time, the bride who was waiting outside tremblingly stepped forward and shouted: "The auspicious time has come."
After shouting, he hurriedly took three steps back, for fear that Ziyang Jun would turn around and get angry at her.
However, when the people in the sedan chair got out, their expressions became calm, as if the dark clouds were blown away by the breeze, and all the hostility disappeared.
Everyone was stunned, and then they saw him pulling the veiled bride out of the sedan chair with a concentric knot. The bride was slender, and her wedding dress, which was full of flowers, riches and noble lotus, was so beautiful that the people around her chattered in admiration again.
Li Huaiyu lowered his head and said to Jiang Xuanjin, "This is memorizing the Guanyin Sutra."
"gab."
"Don't you believe it, listen to this buzzing sound, does it sound like the first paragraph of the Guanyin Sutra?"
"Shut up!"
Huaiyu was aggrieved and said through the hijab: "I comfort you, why did you attack me instead?"
Ignoring her, Jiang Xuanjin led her into the Jiang mansion. Huaiyu couldn't see his expression, thought he was still angry, so she murmured and coaxed him along the way.
However, Chengxu could see very clearly from the side that his master's mood had eased since he tied the concentric knot. Although he still had a straight face, there was joy in his eyes. But he didn't tell Miss Bai Si, and let her say good things in a low voice.
Shameless, so shameless!
However, more shameless is yet to come.
Little Princess Jiang glanced at the brazier in front of the door, and said impatiently: "I don't want to step over."
Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Is there any reason to think about it? It's the rules."
"It's no good to cross."
benefit? Huaiyu thought for a while with the phoenix crown and hijab on her head, then asked in a low voice, "What benefits do you want?"
The person next to him was silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "You owe me." Then he stepped over the brazier.
Huaiyu was so grateful, she followed Xi Niang's help and wanted to say thank you for following him.
However, when the words came to her lips, she felt something was wrong, and after reacting for a while, she was furious: "This is a courtesy that we both have to do, why should I do you a favor?"
Jiang Xuanjin said without looking back, "You agreed."
"That's why you lied to me!"
"You agreed."
"..."
Li Huaiyu felt that a man really couldn't be pampered, and if he was pampered, he could easily skyrocket ninety thousand miles, sky high and sea boundless.
The banquet in Jiang's residence was extremely grand, from the vestibule to the main hall, it was much bigger than the previous birthday banquet of Young Master Jiang. After a while, the seats were gradually filled with people, but there were only a few scattered shadows on the table of the Bai family's family.
At first no one said anything. After all, it was still early, so it might have been slower for her natal family to come over. But when the newcomers had already arrived and the seats were almost full, someone noticed something was wrong.
"Where are the people from the Bai family? There are so many tables, why isn't even one filled?"
"What's going on? Are you still with the bride outside?"
"No, I looked from the outside, and the bride is only surrounded by Xi Niang."
There were voices of discussion everywhere, booming and chaotic, louder than the people who were watching outside just now.
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at the natal mat on the right, frowning slightly.
Huaiyu naturally heard it too, but she had expected this to happen a long time ago, so she was very calm: "They are reading the second paragraph of the Guanyin Sutra, don't worry about it."
Tell him not to care? Jiang Xuanjin was a little annoyed, turned her head and asked Chengxu beside her: "What's going on?"
Chengxu replied in a low voice: "Bai Yushi is entertaining guests in the White Mansion, and the rest... have also been invited, saying they came later."
Bai Mengshi and the others said they couldn't come, but after all, it was a large-scale wedding, and it wouldn't be good if it was too ugly, so they followed behind slowly, intending to go in slowly and take a seat at the end.
This doesn't count them as disrespecting the Jiang family, but it can be regarded as complete neglect and contempt for the bride.
Huaiyu sighed, and whispered: "I told you before, there will be many accidents today."
It's also a matter of no choice. Few of her natal family are looking forward to her well-being. They usually have nothing to do with her. After finally seizing this opportunity, don't they have to hurry up and give her some color
Jiang Xuanjin stared at the empty seats, thought for a while, and waved over to the busy butler. Just as he was about to order something, he heard commotion outside the door.
Huaiyu couldn't see with the veil covered, but felt that the people around her became quiet instantly, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Lingxiu stammered and said: "Lu... Shopkeeper Lu is here."
Oh, Lu Jingxing, Huaiyu nodded slightly, feeling a little confused, "Shouldn't he come?"
"Should be, but..."
Swallowing, Lingxiu didn't dare to continue.
At the gate of the Jiang Mansion, Lu Jingxing was wearing a blue brocade robe, holding a Nanyang jade fan, smiling as he watched the bride step into the door, his phoenix eyes were full of waves, and he was full of romance and passion. He stood still at the front, followed by ten handsome men lined up in the back, his momentum was so strong that the servants were all on guard.
Chengxu subconsciously stopped in front of his master.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at him coldly: "What's the meaning of shopkeeper Lu?"
Walking over, Lu Jingxing closed his folding fan and said, "It's all for a wedding, why are you all so nervous?"
Nonsense, with this look of coming to snatch a kiss, who is not nervous
Jiang Xuanjin frowned, glanced at the people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "If it's a guest, you should welcome it. If it's a thief, you should clean it up."
Those people behind are all thieves he let go last time.
"Oh?" Lu Jingxing glanced at the phoenix eyes, and smiled, "Then dare to ask your majesty, what should you do if you are from your natal family?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled.
Li Huaiyu was a little surprised when he heard it, but he quickly realized it. Her natal family, aren't they her natal family? The real natal family!
Ben was wondering why the dowry suddenly increased, but now that he saw Lu Jingxing, he could figure it out. The person who said he would not give her a congratulatory gift had already prepared it for her long ago, and even found out that she was in trouble, he immediately solved the problem for her.
This man is really...
Cursing secretly, she was a little moved, and was about to let Jiang Xuanjin let her go, but there was another commotion outside the door.
"It's late, it's late!" Han Xiao's voice was always loud, and he knew how hot he looked without even looking at it. When he entered the door, he cupped his hands at the people around him, "I'm so sorry! I was delayed on the road for a while!"
Yun Lanqing came in after him, and kicked him angrily: "What are you yelling for? You could have sneaked in, but now you have called everyone over!"
Being kicked to a stagger, Han Xiao turned around and said, "Who says you want to be sneaky when your mother's family eats wedding wine?"
"you… "
It seemed that there was going to be a quarrel, but another person came in outside the door.
"What are you arguing about?" He frowned and scolded, Han Xiao and Yun Lanqing immediately became honest.
After adjusting the hem of his clothes, Xu Xian strode forward and cupped his hands towards Jiang Xuanjin: "I'm late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The vestibule was still noisy just now. Because of the arrival of these people, there was an instant silence. Even Mrs. Jiang was shocked when he heard the news in the front hall, and hurriedly sent Jiang Shen out to see what was going on.
Lu Jingxing, the chief merchant of the capital, Han Xiao, the important minister of the two dynasties, Yun Lanqing, the upstart of the court, Xu Xian, the general of the hussars... What are these people doing at the same time
Jiang Shen ran out and saw that Jiang Xuanjin was frowning and didn't speak, so he quickly stepped forward to return the gift for him: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, why don't you go to the table first?"
Xu Xian nodded: "Thank you."
After the ceremony, take this group of people and go straight to the natal mat.
Everyone was stunned, and all the heads in the courtyard followed the direction they were walking. Seeing that they really sat down on the natal mat, the courtyard exploded with a "boom".
"What's going on? When did these people become Miss Bai Si's natal family?"
"Are you sitting in the wrong seat?"
"I haven't heard that General Xu has friendship with the White House..."
Jiang Shen was also surprised, and quickly asked the bride next to him who was covered with a hijab: "You invited them?"
Huaiyu was about to answer, when Jiang Xuanjin said coldly: "The bride doesn't say anything."
In order to maintain a dignified image, the bride cannot speak in the auditorium.
The corner of Jiang Shen's mouth twitched: "You pretend I didn't see you talking to her just now?" Obviously I was very happy talking to her! Why can't he ask a question
Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, pulled the sympathy knot and continued to walk in, with an attitude of "I don't want to reason with you".
Jiang Shen stared at his back, laughed angrily, grabbed Chengxu and asked, "Why is your master's temper getting weirder?"
Chengxu replied with a sigh of relief: "I was favored by others."
Thanks to Miss Bai Si's coaxing, this master is becoming more and more difficult to serve. Everyone around him has noticed this, but he himself doesn't feel it.
well.
The hour has come. The newlyweds began to salute. Li Huaiyu followed Jiang Xuanjin step by step with her hijab on her head, and paused for a while as she passed by her natal mat.
The previously empty seats were already full of people's voices. Han Xiao was talking, Yun Lanqing was also talking, Xu Xian and Lu Jingxing were laughing, but the voices of Wu and the others were so small that they completely drowned them out.
She couldn't see with the veil covered, but hearing these movements, she suddenly felt very at ease in her heart.
What happened to the concubine of the White House? What's wrong with being helpless? As long as this group of people is there, her confidence will be there!
Straightening her waist, Li Huaiyu stepped into the main hall imposingly holding up her skirt.
It was time to worship, and she almost subconsciously wanted to go forward and kneel down. However, Xi Niang next to her had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Wait a minute!"
What are you waiting for? She has been hungry for a long time, so she just ate an apple, why don't she hurry up and go back to the house to eat? Huaiyu was very resentful, and her stomach growled loudly.
However. Suddenly there was a louder sound from all around, boom boom boom boom boom, as if everyone knelt down in unison, instantly suppressing the voice in her stomach.
Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, and his heart suddenly moved.
This is... Is anyone here
At the entrance of the lobby, Li Huailin, dressed in yellow uniform, led the guards and eunuchs smilingly nodding at Jiang Xuanjin. All around him, everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Jiang Xuanjin returned the salute to him respectfully, and glanced at Xi Niang by the way. Xi Niang understood, and immediately shouted: "Bow to heaven and earth—"
Being helped forward by someone, Huaiyu's heart tightened, and she knelt down towards the door slowly, holding the sympathetic knot.
Li Huailin smiled brightly, but didn't look at her much, first made a congratulatory gesture to the old man Jiang inside, and then asked someone to hand a gift list to Jiang Xuanjin, and then hurriedly got up and left.
As soon as he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
Li Huaiyu still couldn't recover. He was led blankly to perform the next salute, with a smirk on his face covered with a hijab.
Who said God treated her unfairly? Look at how lucky she is, once married, everything that should come will come. Although Huai Lin didn't recognize her, and those people at the table outside might not all know her identity, but she felt very complete, and her heart was full of satisfaction and joy that she had never had before!
Huaiyu couldn't remember what else he did afterwards, and kept wandering away. It wasn't until Jiang Xuanjin grabbed her hand tightly that she was so shocked that Liushen returned to her place.
"Hahaha, majestic Mr. Ziyang, can you rely on your wife to protect you?" Jiang Shen said angrily, "Don't drag it, it's useless, she is going to the bridal chamber, you are going to the wine table."
"I don't want to drink." Jiang Xuanjin frowned.
"Why don't you want to?" Jiang Chong also shook his head, "This is the rule."
Who the hell set up so many marriage rules when they are full and have nothing to do? Jiang Xuanjin was very angry, grabbed her hand, and said anxiously and annoyed: "Help me!"
Li Huaiyu laughed: "You don't know how to drink?"
"... It's not that I can't, I don't want to."
"You don't want to because you don't know it?" Huaiyu mercilessly pierced him.
Jiang Xuanjin was silent.
In this moment of silence. Jiang Shen and Jiang Chong, each with one arm, lifted him up and pushed him towards the wine table. Huaiyu tilted his ears, and he heard Lu Jingxing laughing strangely:
"Your Majesty, you are here, our family is waiting for you to toast!"
Jiang Xuanjin's face was very ugly, she was pressed on her mother's mat, and wanted to resist, but behind her was her elder brother who practiced martial arts, who wanted to raise his eyebrows, and in front of him was Lu Jingxing who was completely shameless and not afraid of him.
There is no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to earth.
Jiu Wu took the wine glass and stuffed it into his hand: "I respect you for this glass of wine, thank you for not killing me."
"This glass of wine is regarded as an apology." Han Xiao also stuffed a glass of wine into his hand, "I was not respectful enough to the emperor before, and I was impulsive."
Yun Lanqing held the wine and placed it in front of him: "I wish you and your new wife have a son early and grow old together!"
Jiang Xuanjin: "..."
As soon as Li Huaiyu entered the bridal chamber, he found a place to sit down, and began to steal food from the table. Lingxiu watched and stuffed money into the sleeves of the brides next to her one by one, so no one stopped her for a while.
After eating and drinking enough, she wiped her mouth and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she ran in and said anxiously, "Come and help me!"
When the brides in the room heard the words, they put down their things and went out. Huaiyu stretched his neck curiously and looked: "What's wrong?"
Lingxiu followed her out to inquire, and came back with a frowning face after a while: "Master, Your Majesty is at the door."
"Huh, did you finish drinking so quickly?" Huaiyu was surprised, logically speaking, the groom would have to drink for half an hour, not to mention Lu Jingxing and his group of liquor masters outside, how could he let him go so easily
Curiously carrying her skirt to the door, she raised her eyes and saw Jiang Xuanjin leaning on the vermilion lacquered pillar opposite.
He leaned there with his eyes downcast, his thin lips pursed, and his breath was cold. Xi Niang next to him wanted to help him, but hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to reach out.
"Ma'am." Chengxu changed his words and bowed respectfully to her, "Look at this..."
Although a bit unbelievable, Huaiyu still asked through the curtain: "Drunk?"
Chengxu nodded solemnly.
Blinking very strangely, Huaiyu walked over with her skirt in hand, reached out and touched his face lightly.
The hand was caught in a flash, and it was clasped tightly. Jiang Xuanjin raised his eyes to look at her, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes, hazy, like a rain falling in a high mountain.
"Unhappy again?" She laughed, "Why are you always unhappy today?"
"You won't help me." He said in a muffled voice.
"Huh?" Thinking of what happened before, Huaiyu said innocently, "I can't help you, why can't I go to the bar for you?"
"You don't help me." Frowning, he repeated angrily.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong!" Huaiyu raised his empty hand over his head, and Huaiyu pulled him into the room, "Let's talk first."
Xi Niang next to her was stunned, and Lingxiu and Chengxu were also stunned. They didn't come back to their senses until the door was closed, and hurried up to shout: "Ma'am, we haven't finished the bridal ceremony yet!"
The door was opened a crack, Li Huaiyu stretched out his hand to support the threshold, and asked angrily: "Bridal ceremony? It will make the master inside anxious again, who will coax you?"
"But..." Xi Niang was very embarrassed.
Huaiyu waved his hand: "Don't worry, isn't it just a drink or something? I'll take care of it myself, just don't make trouble for me."
After finishing speaking, he closed the door again with a bang, leaving a group of people outside the room staring wide-eyed.
Jiang Xuanjin was still sulking while sitting by the bed, Huaiyu took off the hijab and phoenix crown, and twisted a handkerchief in the basin next to him to wipe his face.
He frowned and wanted to hide, but Huaiyu pinched his chin firmly with a paw, and then said softly: "Don't move, it will make you feel better after rubbing."
He glared at her, but she didn't care, instead she asked with a smile, "How much did you drink? Two glasses?"
"..." He remained silent, his eyes were cold, and his thin lips were pursed a little aggrieved.
This appearance is really... Anyone who sees it will be so soft-hearted! Huaiyu couldn't help touching his face, smiling so hard that his eyes turned into crescent moons: "Don't be angry! Next time whoever asks you to drink, I will definitely stop you."
He waved her hand away ungratefully, rubbed his forehead, seemed a little uncomfortable, turned around and wanted to lie down on the bed.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Grabbing the hem of his clothes, Huaiyu said, "I haven't drunk the Heying wine yet!"
It was wine again, Jiang Xuanjin shook her head as soon as she heard it, and buried herself in the quilt angrily.
Huaiyu burst out laughing with a "puchi", grabbed the quilt and said, "You can't just sleep like this without taking off your outer clothes."
Xifu is heavy. Both of them had a lot of gold thread embroidered on their clothes, if they really slept like this, they would definitely die of pain.
Chattering endlessly, Jiang Xuanjin was annoyed, sat up and hugged the quilt and looked at her, eyes full of displeasure.
"How do you keep your mouth shut?" he asked.
As soon as his eyes rolled, Huaiyu stretched out his hand to touch his lips with a smile: "Guess?"
With a teasing look on her face, she looked like a rogue who broke into someone's boudoir, or the kind who just waited for someone to scold her out of embarrassment.
However, this time, Jiang Xuanjin didn't scold her. A pair of black pupils stared at her quietly for a while, then suddenly reached out and hooked her neck, pulling her whole body in front of him.
"?!" Huaiyu was taken aback, before she had time to speak, the person in front of her lowered her head, opened her thin lips, and sealed hers tightly.
The aroma of the wine mixed with the fragrance of Brahma on his body, instantly filling her nostrils.
Huaiyu was stunned, staring stupidly at his eyelashes that were close at hand, and didn't recover for a while.
Jiang Xuanjin wanted to frighten her. After all, this person is always teasing him, do you really think he dare not do anything
However, when the real kiss came, he was also a little distracted.
Her lips were cold, a bit like his favorite cold cake when he was a child, soft and sweet. It's okay to close it as soon as you touch it, but if you really linger on it, he can't stop it.
The thing in the chest was jumping faster and faster, he let go of her slightly, took a breath, rubbed the tip of his nose against her cheek, and kissed her again.
Li Huaiyu blushed a little, although he was used to teasing this person, he didn't feel anything wrong with kissing and hugging him. But right now, things seem a little different.
The person in front of him had foggy eyes, burning hot breath, and completely lost his usual calmness. Tossing and grinding against her lips, she refused to stop no matter what.
A little out of breath, Huaiyu stretched out her hand and wanted to push him away.
However. He was caught before his hand reached his chest, he frowned, took her hand and clasped it behind her back, borrowed strength from her waist, supported her well, then lowered his head and continued to entangle with her.
"Hey..." she struggled, "Is that enough?"
"Not enough." He replied sullenly, with a bit of anger.
Obviously she was the one who molested people first, and she was the one who provoked him every time, why is she pushing him away now
There is no pardon.
Angry, he opened his mouth and bit her neck.
"Ah!" Huaiyu broke away from the pain immediately, covered his neck and glared at him, "Are you a dog?"
With a cold snort, Jiang Xuanjin took off his outer robe and threw it on the ground, pulled the quilt and lay down.
The back looked angrily.
Huaiyu grinned and rubbed her own neck, waited until the pain was gone, then stretched out her hand and poked him funny: "You bit me, why are you still angry?"
Jiang Xuanjin ignored her.
Huaiyu thought for a while, then rubbed against his back, reached out and patted him gently. Humming "Spring Banquet" to him while filming:
"A spring feast, a glass of green wine and singing again. I will make three wishes again: first, I wish my husband a thousand years old; second, I wish my concubine a long life;
See you every year.
When I first sang this poem, I never thought that the two of us could get married, but now it sounds like the occasion, and every year in the future, I really want to see him often.
Huaiyu smiled, and hummed softly, the strength in his hands became softer and gentler.
Jiang Xuanjin really wanted to keep his eyes open and continue to be angry, but his head was too dizzy, and this person sang softly, so he couldn't resist for a while, and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, it was already dark outside.
Candles were brightly lit in the room, and steaming meals were placed on the table. He frowned and scanned around, but saw no one.
Standing up and putting on his clothes to open the door, he shouted: "Chengxu."
Chengxu didn't come out, but Yufeng came to answer him, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Master, you are awake."
"What about people?" he asked.
Yufeng paused. Said: "Chengxu is in the backyard."
"... not asking him."
"Madam is also in the backyard."
What are you doing in the backyard at this hour? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled, so he walked over to find someone.
Li Huaiyu was squatting with Chengxu and muttering furtively, suddenly felt a chill behind her, and then heard a voice above her head: "Do you know what is manners?"
"Wow!" Jumping up in fright, Huaiyu turned around and glared at him, "Do you know that scaring people can scare people to death?"
Chengxu immediately stood up and saluted: "Master."
Looking at him with an uneasy expression, Jiang Xuanjin said, "It's time to eat."
"Dinner is not on your table?" Huaiyu wondered.
"Have you used it?"
"Of course, you slept for so long, it's already past dinner time." Huaiyu said.
The surrounding air suddenly froze.
Sensing something was wrong, Li Huaiyu blinked and asked him: "Do you want me to have dinner with you?"
"No."
"Then why is your face so bad?"
"hungry."
After uttering these two words, Jiang Xuanjin turned around and left.
Huaiyu was speechless, looked at his back and said to Chengxu: "Don't be like your master, it's very difficult to marry a daughter-in-law with such duplicity."
Chengxu looked at the wedding dress on her in bewilderment.
Slightly choked, Huaiyu sighed: "I'm different, I treat him as my daughter-in-law."
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and chased after her: "Daughter-in-law, wait for me!"
In the main house.
Jiang Xuanjin stared blankly at the person in front of him gobbling it up, and asked her, "Who said you already had dinner?"
Huaiyu tore a mouthful of chicken into his stomach. Seriously said: "I have used it, but when I saw you, I was hungry again. It must be something like that, yes, you are delicious!"
Seeing her demeanor, Jiang Xuanjin shook her head: "Didn't the White House teach you how to eat?"
"Do you still need someone to teach you to eat?" She looked astonished.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuanjin said, "It's not that you have to be taught when you eat, it's the rules of eating. I put my chopsticks away when I was talking to you, why are you chewing on chicken legs?"
Don't talk about food, if you want to talk, you have to stop chopsticks to digest food. This is the Jiang family's family rule.
Huaiyu's face was broken: "Aren't we husband and wife? We are husband and wife and we should pay attention to these things when we are together?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay, okay." She sighed, "Then I will start to learn the Jiang family's rules tomorrow."
Jiang Xuanjin just listened to these words casually. It would be better to let the fish in the pond learn to walk than to let the demon king in front of him learn the rules.
After dinner, Lingxiu made the beds for them, while Chengxu told them about some trivial matters.
There are many people coming to the banquet today, and there are also many congratulatory gifts. There is a thick stack of gift lists alone, and the master needs to look at them.
Jiang Xuanjin was not interested in these things, so he handed them to Li Huaiyu.
Huaiyu opened it and looked. It was found that Lord Ziyang was really popular, there were more than a hundred officials of all sizes who came to the banquet in Chaozhong alone, and the name was familiar at random.
Easy.
Reaching out and tapping on the name, Huaiyu's eyes moved slightly.
Huben Zhonglang General Yi Yang was the one who was in charge of protecting her coffin. That person used to work as an official in Feiyun Palace, and he didn't have any serious grievances with her, nor was he close.
But there is one thing, the rest of the people may not recognize Jiu Wu and others who are sitting at the natal table today, this person must be recognized.
Today, the three major remnants of Danyang's subordinates gathered together, plus a close friend of Danyang, Lu Jingxing, and a bunch of former Feiyun Palace faces. Those who don't understand will only feel that the situation is huge, but once they are seen by people with discerning eyes...
She looked up at the person sitting across from her.
Jiang Xuanjin sat on the soft couch and read a book, noticed her gaze, turned her head suspiciously: "What?"
Grinning, Huaiyu smiled at him: "It's nothing, I just want to see you."
After glaring at her, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his head and continued to read, ignoring her.
Lingxiu came out from the inner room, and saluted them with a blushing face: "The bed is made. The two masters go to bed early."
After all, he also lit up the dragon and phoenix candles on the case table.
Seeing this thing, Li Huaiyu was delighted, clapped his hands and said: "A moment in spring night is worth a thousand gold, you should stop reading!"
Jiang Xuanjin paused and looked at her warily.
"What do you mean by that look in your eyes?" Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, then rushed over to him and pointed at his neck as if to accuse, "I'm not the one who is acting like a beast today, is it?"
Seeing the tooth marks, Jiang Xuanjin felt a little guilty, and said, "I was drunk at noon."
"You can deny it when you're drunk?" Huaiyu covered the lapel of his clothes, his eyes suddenly looked sad, "You beast!"
Jiang Xuanjin: "..."
After closing the book and putting it down, he rubbed his brows and said, "I said before that we are forced to marry you, so after we get married, you and I can have nothing to do with each other."
Slightly startled, Huaiyu stood up straight and looked at him with a frown: "To this day, you still think that we are forced to get married, and we have nothing to do after marriage?"
Could it be that he didn't have the slightest sincerity when he gave her the wedding dress, when he stood up for her, and when he kissed her
Her tone sounded like she was heartbroken, Jiang Xuanjin froze slightly, and looked up.
The person in front of him raised his eyebrows upside down, stretched his hands on his hips, and looked very angry. There was light in those watery almond eyes, which flickered and flickered, and flickered and flickered, and he just waited for his answer, so he could decide whether to let it go completely off or completely brighten. .
He hesitated and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Li Huaiyu was very impatient, he didn't say anything for a while, she just lowered her eyes, nodded and said in a deep voice, "I see."
Know what? Jiang Xuanjin frowned.
Without looking at him again, Huaiyu turned around, went to the closet to find a quilt and put it on the soft couch, then pulled him up and pushed him into the inner room.
"If you want to have nothing to do with each other, then we will have nothing to do with each other. You sleep inside, and I sleep outside. I will clean up my room tomorrow morning."
After finishing speaking with a blank face, she put down the bead curtain at the partition, made a loud rattling sound, then turned around without looking at him, and went straight to straighten the quilt on the soft couch.
Jiang Xuanjin stood there and looked at her, a little at a loss.
This person was always smiling at him, no matter how he lost his temper, he coaxed him and let him go. But once she got angry, she completely ignored him, and didn't even look at him more.
As if he would give up on him at any moment.
Pursing her lips and standing for a while, Jiang Xuanjin reached out and opened the bead curtain.
Li Huaiyu moved very quickly, she had already made the bed and slept outside, and did not move when she heard the sound.
He walked to her side, supported the edge of the soft couch and slowly lowered his body, said in a muffled voice: "You still owe me a favor and haven't paid it back."
His eyebrows twitched, Huaiyu gritted his teeth and opened his eyes: "Are you really embarrassed to mention it?"
"Why are you embarrassed to mention the benefits you have gained through your ability?" He said, "You want to renege on your debt?"
"I'm not a gentleman, why can't I renege on my debt?" Huaiyu snorted coldly, "I'm just resigning, what can you do to me?"
I don't know where I learned this rascally look.
Shaking his head, he rolled up the quilt on the soft couch, wrapped her up, and hugged her up.
"What are you doing!" she struggled angrily.
"If you can renege on your debt, I can also renege on your debt." Stepping into the inner room, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Pretend you haven't heard what I just said."
Can it still be like this? Li Huaiyu laughed angrily: "I'll tell others tomorrow, but Mr. Ziyang will backtrack on his promises and keep his word!"
"Just go." Walking to the bed and putting her down, he said, "If anyone believes in you, I'll change the 'Jiangfu' on the plaque outside to 'Baifu'."
"You are shameless!"
"Thanks to Madam for your advice."
This was said so quickly and smoothly, almost blurted out. When he realized what he was shouting, Jiang Xuanjin immediately blew out all the lights in the room.
Li Huaiyu stopped being angry, and smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him and said, "Shout again?"
In the darkness, Ziyang Jun's face could not be seen clearly, but his voice was indifferent: "Don't think about it."
"You man." Huaiyu shook his head and sighed. "It's also thanks to me that I can bear you. With your duplicity, you will be so angry, you know? Just say what's on your mind, and I won't laugh at you. Why do you have to be so awkward?"
"When you buy me something, you must say that it is to make me happy, so that I will be happy. If you want to be with me, you must say yes, otherwise I will definitely be sad. If you are angry because of something, you must Tell me the reason, so that the two of you can live for a long time."
Jiang Xuanjin listened silently, and suddenly said, "Before that, what were you and Chengxu doing in the backyard?"
This question caught her a little off guard, Huaiyu blinked, and suddenly realized: "So you are so eccentric tonight, is it because you have a grudge?"
"No." He said, "Just ask."
Huaiyu laughed, grabbed the quilt and said: "There is a good piece of soil in the backyard. I want to plant a tree, so I asked Chengxu to ask if it is possible."
plant trees? Jiang Xuanjin was puzzled: "What kind of tree should I plant?"
"Haven't you heard about land planning in Jianghu?" Huaiyu said, "Go to a place. If you want to make that place your own, leave a mark to let others know. I came to your place and want to make this place yours." If it is my own, naturally I have to leave a mark."
nonsense!
He shook his head, disapproving, but didn't say much. If you like to plant trees, just plant them. Anyway, there are many open spaces in the backyard.
After finishing speaking, the air suddenly became quiet. As a person who didn't pay attention to the rules taught by Aunt Xi at all, Huaiyu yawned, hugged the arm of the person next to him and closed his eyes.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't stop, he turned his head slightly to look at the silhouette of the person next to him, and listened to her breathing. When she was completely asleep, he leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips.
Someone said a long time ago that whoever believes this man's sweet words is a fool.
Now, a long time later, like a fool, he really believed it.
This person treated him so well, Jiang Xuanjin felt, so why not believe it? She definitely wouldn't be willing to lie to him.
The next morning. The new daughter-in-law is going to the front hall to offer tea.
Huaiyu was picked up early in the morning, and after washing up, she followed Jiang Xuanjin with her eyes half open.
In order to drink this daughter-in-law's tea, Mrs. Jiang sat in the front hall very early. When he saw them coming in, his face was overjoyed, and then he felt that he was not dignified enough. The dragon head stick raised his chin.
Everyone with status in Jiang's family was standing or sitting in the front hall, there were a bit too many people, Huaiyu didn't recognize them all at a glance, so he knelt down and kowtowed to the old man first.
"My daughter-in-law greets my father."
"Greetings to father."
The two cups of tea were handed over respectfully, the old man Jiang couldn't hold back anymore, his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears: "Well, well, well, they are all good boys!"
After receiving the tea, he sighed, "This makes me happier than when Xuan Jin named Ziyang Lord!"
Only the old man of the Jiang family could say this, looking at the speechless Jiang Xuanjin beside him, Huaiyu laughed.
After paying homage to the old man, the brothers, sisters-in-law and uncles next to him also wanted to pass tea one by one. Huaiyu confusedly followed Jiang Xuanjin to call people, give tea, and receive red envelopes, and the rules may not be all in place. But all the people in the room were smiling at her, looking at her with tolerance and love all the time.
Of course, it's not because of how good she is, but because she married Jiang Xuanjin, the third young master of the Jiang family. To be so gentle to her, one can imagine how favored Little Princess Jiang is usually.
The atmosphere in Jiang's Mansion was very good. Although there were many people, there was no intrigue in the White Mansion. The front hall was bright and transparent, and all the people inside were upright and magnanimous. Standing among them, Huaiyu suddenly felt a little envious.
"Is everyone here today?" the old man asked with a cane.
Jiang Chong hurriedly came out and said: "All the houses and courtyards are all ready, and there is still one person missing... and he will be there soon."
"Why is there still someone not here?" The old man frowned.
Jiang Chong was about to explain, but the joyful voice of the slave came from outside: "I'm back! I'm back!"
Who is back? Li Huaiyu was very puzzled, and when he looked through the gate, he saw a man striding forward, casually threw his luggage to the slave, and said in a loud voice: "Before congratulating my uncle's wedding, my nephew has rushed back to accept the crime!"
The golden crown on the red crown, the soap-colored cloud boots, and the scarlet cloud-patterned belt fasten the snow-white brocade robe, outlining a good figure. His voice sounded like a slap in the face, his eyes were red, his lips were red and his teeth were white. Such an extraordinary bearing, dragon and phoenix posture. Who is it if it's not Jiang Yan, the young master of the Jiang family
He walked very fast, and arrived at the main hall in a blink of an eye. He raised his robe and kowtowed to the old man first: "Grandson is unfilial, please forgive me, grandpa!"
The old man raised his eyebrows when he saw him coming: "You also know that you are not filial?"
"Grandpa calm down, grandson has something to say." Jiang Yan raised his head, his eyes burning, "Grandson has made a lot of contributions by patrolling the city on behalf of my uncle. This past month has not been wasted, and he has grown a lot."
"Do you think I won't blame you for running away from marriage?" The old man slapped the table, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused the family!"
He must have known there was trouble, so he ran away! Jiang Yan pouted, looked at the uncle next to him with a guilty conscience, and winked at him desperately: Say something for my nephew!
So Jiang Xuanjin said: "Father calm down, Yan'er's meritorious deeds this time can be regarded as honoring the ancestors, if the meritorious service is repented, there is no need for punishment."
The old man glared at him: "You know that you are partial to him!"
Jiang Xuanjin smiled: "It's just such a nephew, how can we not show favoritism? He travels day and night just to come back to congratulate my wedding, father, please forgive him."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Yan agreed, and sighed again, "It's a pity that I still didn't make it in time, it was a day late."
"It's not too late." Jiang Xuanjin said, "I met your little aunt first."
Hearing this, Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and he got up as if he had received an amnesty, served tea to the person standing next to my uncle:
"Nephew Jiang Yan, I've served tea to my little aunt!"
