He had never seen anything so straightforward and hot before. It was all a bit covered up, with a hazy feeling, so much so that Wen Ren Yang almost threw the album away. However, thinking of his fourth sister's words, he finally held back.
He put the album down, drank a sip of warm tea, compressed his breath, and then prepared himself mentally. He mustered up the courage to pick it up and read it carefully. Although he was still blushing and embarrassed, he could still overcome it with his spirit of studying hard.
Wen Renyang read it carefully, then read it again from beginning to end, and after making sure there was no problem, he burned the "textbook".
This kind of thing, from the hand of the fourth sister, must not be known to a third person, and no trace can be left. Even if such a thing was drawn, Wen Renyang did not think that his sister was bad, but if others knew about it, he didn't know what they would think.
Seeing the "textbook" turned into ashes, Wen Renyang flicked it and the ashes completely turned into powder. Only then was he satisfied.
Later, when the maid was cleaning up, she was still wondering, "What did the young master burn?"
"They are just some discarded things." Wen Renyang said indifferently.
The maid was stunned for a moment, and turned around to look at her young master who was reading a book. She just asked casually, and did not expect the young master to answer, or she did not think that it would attract his attention. This was the first time this had happened.
The maid didn't think much about it and took it out to deal with it.
If you look closely, you will find that Wenren Yang's eyes are actually a little erratic, not like usual, completely immersed in his own world. He exhaled lightly, knowing that he overreacted and was easily affected. This was not good. Wenren Yang calmed down for a while and began to read seriously. Soon, he was the bookworm Wenren Xiaosi again.
After the maid came back, she saw that her young master was no different from usual, so she had to pay special attention to talk to him in order to attract his attention. It turned out to be just a coincidence, most likely the young master happened to come back to his senses at that moment.
The matter was just revealed.
By August 15th, the family was preparing for the festival and had prepared many things in a lively atmosphere.
For the Wen family, there was one more thing, that was the dowry that the Meng family would send. The Meng family was noble, not rich, and their daughter might not be as good as the Wen family's concubine's daughter in terms of dowry. However, everyone knew the situation of the Meng family, so no one would care about it.
However, the Meng family was also kind-hearted. As long as the betrothal gifts they sent could become dowries, they were basically given as dowry. In addition, as Old Man Meng was a great scholar, the Meng family's scholarly heritage far surpassed that of the Wen family. The old man actually had quite a few good things in his hands. Some of the things that were supposed to be heirlooms were given as dowry by the old man. These things really helped Meng Xinlan to support her reputation, and no one could criticize them.
Naturally, some people in the Meng family had opinions about this matter, but with Old Master Meng around, others had no room for rebuttal.
Because it is such a happy event and the festive season, it is natural to decorate the house with lights and colors.
It was a rare occasion that everyone put down their work and all the officials took a holiday. No matter whether they were elders or juniors, they either prepared various foods or gathered together to make lanterns, and they laughed and played from time to time, and the elders did not stop them.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for families to reunite and the atmosphere is of utmost importance, so the dinner will be held later, after nightfall.
Because of the custom that men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the kitchen god, after setting up the altar and placing the offerings, the old lady led all the female members of the family to worship the moon, and then distributed the big moon cakes. This was done by Han, and it was a familiar task for her.
After distributing the mooncakes, the banquet began.
The table was set up in the courtyard, and on the table were moon cakes, osmanthus wine, osmanthus honey, and a sumptuous meal.
Of course, plump crabs are indispensable in this feast.
We enjoy the moon, flowers and wine, play some games or drink wine together. It is so lively and fun.
The younger children finally left the table and ran to play with the lanterns. Although they didn't go out, it was great to be together. This took quite a while, but the old lady was in good spirits and stayed until the end of the table before going back. This would have been impossible in previous years.
Compared to the first few years when she was alone outside and never celebrated any holidays, Xiaocao had a more satisfying time today.
Because he could still have half a day off tomorrow - this was due to the consideration of Emperor Xuanren - and because Wenren Yang was getting married, Wenren Taibo simply took another half day off. Therefore, even if he went to bed late, he would not have to worry about not being able to get up tomorrow.
But tomorrow is a busy day after all, and the people nowadays are very different from the night owls in Xiaocao's previous life. Even on a night like this, they will go back to wash up and go to bed at around midnight at the latest.
Because he is getting married tomorrow, Wen Renyang asked his little cousin from the fifth room to sleep with him in his room tonight and have him sleep under his bed.
The little guy was already fast asleep, and Wenren Yang was also about to go to sleep, but the father came over.
Wen Renyang was puzzled, "Dad, it's so late, do you have anything else to do?"
Wenren Taibo held something in his hand with his hands behind his back. It was a bit difficult to talk about such things, as a father, who had to teach him personally. However, he had to say what he had to say, otherwise, it would be a shame if he made a fool of himself tomorrow night. By then, the genius in their family would really become a nerd who only knew how to study. Therefore, Wenren Taibo coughed lightly and said, "Yang'er, you will get married tomorrow. In the past, you focused on studying, so your mother didn't arrange a concubine for you. But now the situation is different..."
Wen Renyang was smart, how could he not understand his father's intention, which was clearly consistent with the intention of his fourth sister a few days ago? He couldn't help but reflect on himself a little. Was he really that worrying? In other words, even if his fourth sister hadn't done that, and his father hadn't done this now, by tomorrow night, he wouldn't be at a loss as to what to do and how to do it. At most, it might be a little troublesome, and it would probably take a process of exploration.
"Dad, I know what you want to say, but there's no need, I know it all." He still spoke slowly.
"Do you really know?" Wenren Taibo expressed considerable doubt about this.
"There are so many books. You will naturally know what is not in the books."
At this moment, Wenren Taibo looked at his son with a strange look in his eyes, as if to say, "My son actually reads that kind of book? It's really surprising."
Wenren Taibo's eyes made Wenren Yang feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. Why couldn't he just look at him
Wenren Taibo coughed again and retracted his gaze, but he was still a little worried. Who knew how much he understood? "Well, it's not that Dad doesn't believe you, it's just... you still have to take a look." He handed over the book in his hand.
Wen Renyang felt that if he didn't take over, his father probably wouldn't give up, so he simply took it and opened it. He could say that he had been refined by Xiao Cao's "textbook", so he looked through it without blushing or getting nervous. He casually flipped through two pages, then closed the book and handed it back to his father. "It's shoddy, Dad, take it back." It was not much worse than what his fourth sister had prepared, and he had no interest in it at all.
The son who was originally dull and dazed was so unrestrained. He flipped through the book in front of his father and even complained that it was poorly made. He complained that it was poorly made. This could only mean that he had seen better books. Wenren Taibo's eyes became even more explicit. I didn't expect it! The nerdy son actually had such a hidden side!
The booklet didn't bother Wen Renyang, but her father's look made him feel uncomfortable. "Dad, go back and have some rest early." His speaking speed increased a bit, almost catching up with the time when he was debating with someone.
His son was shy, so Wenren Taibo restrained himself and rolled up the book. "Okay, then, you should go to bed early too."
Seeing Wenren Taibo leave, Wenren Yang breathed a sigh of relief. What was going on? He couldn't sleep now. He had to read some more books to calm his mind. Wenren Yang gave himself a legitimate reason to stay up late.
Wenren Taibo went back leisurely to report to his wife. Yes, it is natural for a mother to think of such things.
There were only the couple in the room. Wenren Taibo threw the book on the table and said, "My dear, you are worrying for nothing."
"What?" Han was also surprised.
"Your son said that there is nothing in the book, and he complained that it was not exquisite enough."
Han's eyes were filled with disbelief, and she slowed down, "So, our stupid son is not stupid at all."
"If you say this to others, people will think you are showing off and being sarcastic."
Han rolled his eyes at him and said, "Or maybe we can only say that this is the nature of you men. You can learn without a teacher."
Wenren Taibo was hit by an arrow in the knee and felt so wronged, but he couldn't argue with her about this kind of thing, otherwise she would really kick him out tonight. It's not that he didn't have another place to sleep, but being kicked out was a bit embarrassing. They had been in love for so many years, and there was no need to create a rift because of a word. Wenren Taibo was not a lustful person.
His eyes fell on the book on the table, and he picked it up and began to read it leisurely. Then he sat directly behind Han and put the book in front of her, "Son, don't want it. Let us read it."
Han couldn't help but blush, and turned around to spit at Wenren Taibo, "Bah, you old man won't stop."
"How can you say that, my dear?" Wenren Taibo picked her up and said, "Let's try harder. Maybe we can give birth to a little six."
Han's blushing face was stained with a little black. "Xuan'er's gynecological manual said that the older she is, the greater the risk of childbirth. My second brother's wife doesn't mind her having another child even if she has recovered her body, let alone me? If she really gets pregnant, I don't know how dark her face will be. How old is my grandson? I am still raising children. Am I crazy?"
"Okay, okay, I won't have any children, but I won't interfere with anything else."
Wenren Yang would never know that his parents had a great wedding night.
Perhaps it had been a long time since it had been so intense. The next morning, Han was a little lazy and didn't want to get up. However, there were a lot of things to do today and she couldn't afford to be lazy. For this reason, she couldn't help but kick Wenren Taibo.
Wenren Taibo was also quite tactful at this moment. He played along carefully and even smiled in a flattering manner. He was probably a little upset last night.
Xiaocao came as usual. It was rare for her to see her father at the breakfast table. But that was not the point. Xiaocao was extremely sensitive to changes in people. She would feel things that others could not feel at the first time. She could not help but glance at Han several times.
Han was surprised, "Xuan'er, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with mother?"
"Mom, are you tired these days? Are you feeling unwell?" There was a hint of worry in Xiaocao's eyes.
When Han heard this, his face really turned red this time, and he quickly turned his head to hide it. The person sitting on the other side happened to be Wenren Taibo, who couldn't help but glared at him fiercely and stepped on him under the table.
Wenren Taibo was also a little embarrassed. This kind of thing... However, it is not impossible to be thick-skinned and go along with his daughter's words to cover it up. Of course, this will inevitably make his daughter worry, and his son will probably feel guilty too. It's just that, with the "guilty" in his heart, it's hard for him not to react when it is suddenly mentioned.
When Wenren Taibo was thinking about how to cover it up, Xiaocao had already retracted her gaze. How could she not know what was going on with her parents' reactions? In fact, she was a little embarrassed, but she really couldn't be blamed for this. Her parents were concubines most of the time. At this age of forty, it was very unlikely that they didn't have intimacy. It was just that she had never noticed anything in the past. Today, she suddenly noticed that her mother was a little abnormal. How could she be indifferent? Can she be blamed for this? Of course she can't!
However, this probably also means that my father is in good health.
Xiao Cao focused on eating breakfast with her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, as if nothing had happened just now.
Wenren Taibo and Han Shi said nothing when they saw this. However, they still felt embarrassed. After all, their daughter's reaction proved that she had guessed everything. Han Shi really wanted to strangle her husband to death.
It's a good thing to have a daughter who is good at art, but it's just at times like this, ah...
Fortunately, Wenren Ying and Wenren Yang didn't come today, otherwise, it would be so awkward... Oh, no, these two probably don't know what's going on. - They don't know, and the only one who really doesn't know is probably Wenren Yang. - At the same time, I feel a little strange in my heart. Although Xuan'er was married before, she didn't consummate the marriage. She knows everything. Should I sigh or feel distressed
There is no rule among family members that one should not talk while eating, but this breakfast was unusually quiet.
However, a meal’s time is almost enough, and there are still a lot of things to do next. Who would bother to remember this
Although the main banquet on the groom's side is in the evening, with so many things to prepare, the kitchen has already been busy for a long time. Today will be the busiest day in the kitchen. However, everything has been arranged properly and everyone knows what to do, so everything is busy but orderly.
Those families who were the closest to the bride gradually came to visit in the morning, not to mention the bridesmaids who were needed to help Wen Renyang welcome the bride.
