Chapter 4, respect for martial arts, and preference for business
It didn't take long for him to see a secluded courtyard appear in front of him.
The courtyard was decorated with festive decorations, the lanterns were hung high, and four delicate-looking maids were waiting at the gate of the courtyard eagerly.
Seeing that the young lady and the new aunt were coming, the four maids hurriedly stepped up to meet them.
The wedding customs and etiquette of this big family are very complicated, and the four maids also have tasks on their bodies, but before they are approaching, Chu Yiyi waved his hand and said.
"Go down and rest, and leave us alone. ”
The four maids are all about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they have entered the Chu family since they were children, and they specialize in serving the eldest lady of the Chu family, so it can be said that they grew up with Chu Yiyi, and the relationship is naturally close.
When they heard the young lady's words, they were all a little stunned, and they didn't know whether to leave for a while.
After all, there are still some etiquette procedures to go through before entering the cave room, and they need to stay outside the new house tonight to urge the young lady and the new aunt to round the room.
"Stand down, I'm tired. ”
After Chu Yiyi said this, he walked straight into the brightly lit courtyard.
Xue Jian hurriedly followed, and when he passed by the four maids, he suddenly stopped and asked with a smile.
"Four girls, is there anything to eat in this new house?"
Zheng'er hadn't eaten for two days, and Xue was so hungry that he was a little dizzy now.
Especially after using the two True Qi Experience Coupons, the time was refreshing for a while, and he felt that he had inexhaustible strength, but when the strength passed, he only felt that he was about to collapse.
The round-faced girl, who looked to be the youngest of the four, immediately smiled and nodded.
"Yes, there are some, we have prepared a lot, and the young lady and aunt are full before they have a round house. ”
The tallest maid among the four immediately glared at the round-faced girl, smiled lightly, and Ying Ying bowed.
"Back to my uncle, most of the light food that the young lady likes to eat is prepared in the new house, if my uncle doesn't like it, you can tell the slave to change it again.
Also, you can call us by name directly in the future, and the slave's name is Zhiqin, which is Zhiqi, Zhishu, and Zhihua. ”
Zhiqin knows the etiquette of respect and humility very well, and when he speaks, he lowers his eyebrows and raises his eyes, and his tone is warm, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
This was the first time he felt sincerely respected in the Chu family, and he couldn't help but feel a little more good for the Zhiqin in front of him, but in comparison, he actually preferred the round-faced little girl Zhihua who spoke straightly.
"It's good to round the house when you're full, and I'll borrow your auspicious words. ”
Xue saw that he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped into the small courtyard and walked directly into the new house that was not closed.
At a glance, the red candles, red tents, red roller blinds, and the beautiful woman in the red wedding dress stood in the room with her back to Xue Jian, and the red hijab on her head had been pulled off by herself and thrown on the table.
"Close the door. ”
A bland and indifferent voice came, Xue saw that he subconsciously obeyed, stepped back and closed the door, and his heart suddenly fluttered and beat faster.
This is the first time he has married in his two lives combined, and it is definitely impossible not to be nervous, and the bride is still a person he has never met.
Under Xue Jian's eyes slowly widening, Chu Yiyi slowly turned around, and an almost flawless face came into his eyes, making Xue Jian's breathing seem to stagnate at this moment.
The fair-skinned and tender face is like a blow bomb that can be broken, the standard melon seed face, the nose is high, the red lips are red and gorgeous, especially the pair of eyebrows and eyes, which are the most moving, clear and bright.
It seems to be like the mountain snow lotus, not touching the slightest bit of human vulgarity, Xue Jian is giving birth to a trace of blasphemy, which is a great sin.
Such a stunning beauty who captivates the country and the city is in the previous life, and Xue Jian has never seen it.
It's just that as soon as she opened her mouth, she broke all the beautiful illusions of Xue Jian.
In those extremely clear Danfeng eyes, without the slightest emotion, he asked.
"Xue Jian, let me ask you, how did you manage to injure Xu Gongzi?"
As soon as this question came out, Xue Jian was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
He can't always tell the truth, first of all, the other party will definitely not believe it, and secondly, the things he brings with the system are his most important secrets, and no one can reveal them.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Jian said slowly.
"I don't know, I didn't think much about it at the time, so I punched it, who knew that Xu Gongzi was a soft-footed shrimp, just had momentum and no strength, just like that...... Hurt. ”
Chu Yiyi's eyebrows, like a crescent moon, furrowed slightly, and he wondered.
"Weak-footed shrimp?
That Xu Feng is the second son of the head of the Xu family, although his qualifications are worse than his eldest brother, but he is also one of the best among the younger generation in Nanfu City.
Don't say it's you, even a wrestler who pulls out a thousand pounds comes over, and he may not be able to withstand his punch, how did you do it?"
After speaking, she stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Xue Jian's wrist, probed her pulse, and frowned even tighter.
Without a trace of true qi, the roots are osteoporosis, and the body is weak, there is no doubt that an ordinary person, even an ordinary young man cannot be compared.
The fragrant wind came to his face, Xue Jian was a little dizzy, and when he looked at the almost flawless face up close, he was stunned all of a sudden.
Chu Yiyi shook off Xue Jian's hand and snorted coldly.
"No matter how you do it, the Xu family will definitely not give up on this matter, although our Chu family is not afraid of their Xu family, but it will be affected to some extent, this is all caused by your impulsiveness, you can do it yourself." ”
Originally, Chu Yiyi still had a trace of illusion about Xue Jian, but now after probing his body, Chu Yiyi was completely dead.
With his sick body, it would be good to be alive and healthy, but it was impossible to cultivate martial arts.
After saying that, Chu Yiyi walked away and walked into the inner room behind the red curtain alone, sitting cross-legged on the bed and closing her eyes.
She Chu Yiyi is not only the eldest lady of the Chu family, but also the person with the best martial arts cultivation qualifications among the young generation of the Chu family, and there are few people in the entire Nanfu City who can compare to her.
A lady like her should have married a young talent who is a well-connected family and also has extremely high talents.
But fate tied her to this eldest son of the Xue family before she was born.
She couldn't choose this matter, this was the old lady's order, and it was also a thousand-year-old tradition of the Xue Chu family.
Chu Yiyi also resisted and resisted when she was young, but as she grew up, especially after running away from home once, she was personally captured by the old lady and told her about the thousand-year-old relationship between the Xue and Chu families, Chu Yiyi chose to agree with this marriage.
At that time, she also silently swore that if her future husband could practice martial arts, she would do everything to help him, and if he couldn't practice martial arts, then the two would respect each other like guests and accompany each other for a lifetime.
Now that it is really the day of marriage, Chu Yiyi doesn't know how to face this strange husband, and she is even more lost and helpless.
The thoughts in his heart were unsettled, although Chu Yiyi closed his eyes, he didn't have the heart to cultivate.
At this time, she heard the sound of Xue Jianzhong's lack of qi outside.
"Lady, aren't you hungry? ”
As soon as he entered the door, Xue Jian smelled the aroma of rice, and his eyes were already fainting with hunger.
Chu Yiyi didn't open her eyes and said lightly.
"Eat it yourself. ”
Xue saw a light sigh, feeling a little lost in his heart, but it was important to fill his stomach, so he didn't think much about it, just sat at the table and feasted.
The table was full of exquisite dishes, most of which were vegetarian dishes with clear soup and little water, as well as some appetizing and spleen-strengthening fruits, Xue saw that he was so hungry that he quickly cleared half of the plate without picking or picking up.
Considering that Chu Yiyi might not have eaten if he was hungry for a while, Xue Jian left some dishes without moving his chopsticks, as well as those fruits that looked very tempting, he just looked at them.
After eating and drinking, Xue Jian gently and slowly lifted the red bead curtain and walked into the inner room, ready to be "close and close" to the lady.
It's just that as soon as he opened the curtain and walked in, Chu Yiyi suddenly opened a pair of clear eyes and looked at Xue Jian coldly.
"From now on, you sleep in the outer room, I sleep in the inner room, we are husband and wife in front of outsiders, in private, you and I respect each other like guests and do not interfere with each other. ”
Xue Jian couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, he married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and he was not allowed to touch it, who could stand it.
But he is not the kind of person who is stunned, think about his situation, he was about to starve to death before this morning, and now he not only has food and drink, but also married a daughter-in-law who is the envy of the whole city, and God treats himself well.
With a gentle smile on his face, he asked softly.
"Lady, are you cultivating?"
At the wedding before, he heard many guests talking about what kind of martial artist that Xu Gongzi was, and how powerful he was.
Later, his father-in-law exuded the coercion of the strong and forced him to kneel down and admit his mistakes, and Xue Jian understood that he had not traveled to ancient times, but to the world of a martial artist.
Chu Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded, and did not speak.
Xue Jian's heart suddenly surged, and continued.
"Can that lady teach me to cultivate?"
Chu Yiyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looked at Xue Jian with a somewhat strange expression, and asked rhetorically.
"Didn't you dislike cultivation since you were a child?"
Since she knew about this marriage, Chu Yiyi has sent people to inquire about Xue Jian's news, although the two have hardly met, Chu Yiyi knows everything about Xue Jian.
This Xue Jian, as the eldest son of the Xue family, is not a diligent and diligent martial artist, and he doesn't even care about the family business, hiding in the deep house every day, ignoring the things outside the window, and reading the sages hard.
If he had been born hundreds of years earlier, he would have been able to make a name for himself by virtue of his talent.
But in this world, martial arts are respected, business is superior, and martial arts cultivators have the highest status, followed by businessmen with thousands of dollars.
The literati are lowly and have always been subordinate to the strong, and when they are not happy, they are regarded as elegant and interesting, and in chaos, some literati are at most the staff behind the strong.
Therefore, Xue Jian has loved reading since he was a child, and in the eyes of everyone, he is the most unproductive.
The Xue family is helpless about this, it is true that Xue Jian has been weak and sickly since he was a child, he does not have a strong body, how to cultivate martial arts, and his root bone qualifications are not too good, so the Xue family will let him go freely.
"Now that the Xue family is gone, so many things have happened today, and the lady has been wronged, so ...... I want to practice martial arts, change other people's opinions of me, and fight for my mother. ”
Xue Jian heard Chu Yiyi's rhetorical question, and after being stunned for a moment, he explained flexibly.
He knows too little about his predecessor, and there will inevitably be many inconsistencies in the way he speaks and does things, which is inevitable.
Fortunately, Chu Yiyi didn't think much about it, but was relieved after learning that he had this kind of awareness.
Just thinking of Xue Jian's physique, Chu Yiyi sighed lightly and said.
"Your body is too weak to cultivate martial arts, but ...... If you really want to change yourself and fight for me, I can say to my father and let you try to take care of our Chu family's business. ”
Respect for martial arts and take business as the best, this is something that all children in the world know about Huangkou, so most people either practice martial arts since childhood, or hone their skills in the business field since childhood.
