The people who sent off their relatives rested in the flower hall, and as soon as the ceremony was over, Xiao Jiu went out to toast.

The noise from the outer courtyard made the new house even quieter.

Xia Ruan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at everything unfamiliar in the room and was slightly stunned.

She got married like that?

Even now, she still has a feeling of unreality.

In the previous life, when they got married, because of the cup of hot tea poured by Mrs. Yue, the ceremony was not finished, so the bride hurriedly sent her to the new house. There are many daughters in the Tang family, she sat in the new house with her head down, listening to them count her carelessly, with all kinds of sarcasm in her words. In her memory, the affair was terrible, messy and noisy.

And that night...... Xia Ruan shuddered, and Tang Jingxuan's rude movements made her tears fall straight down at that time.

She has no good memories of the Tang family.

All this seemed to be predestined by God, and the red candle of that night was actually extinguished for no reason in the night. She was so weak that she could only watch the red candle not burn to the end......

Hearing the "creak" of the door, Du Ruo walked in cautiously.

Xia Ruan raised his head and looked at Du Ruo suspiciously: "Why are you here?" ”

This time she married to the Marquis of Chang'an, she took Du Ruo, Du Lan, Bai Zhi and Ai Ye, these people have been serving by her side for a long time, and they naturally know what she thinks in her heart.

It's just that Xia Ruan never thought that Du Ruo, who is stable on weekdays, would be so bold at this moment and dare to enter the new house alone.

"Have you been seen?" Xia Ruan was in a hurry and almost landed. Du Ruo, who was in a hurry, hurriedly trotted over and stopped Xia Ruan's movements.

In the ancient rites of Daqin, the groom has not yet entered the new house and used the bride with wine, and the bride cannot touch the ground with her feet, which will be unlucky.

"My young lady, you must not go to the ground." Du Ruo was a little anxious, "The slave didn't come by herself, it was the Hou Ye who asked the slave and maid to come over to accompany you." ”

Xia Ruan saw that Du Ruo was so nervous, so he sat on the happy bed and didn't dare to move anymore.

Before getting married, Du Ruo and Cuiliu kept telling her to pay attention to etiquette, and her mind was in a mess at that time, and it was basically the left ear in and the right ear out. I can't remember it all.

Du Ruo saw Xia Ruan sitting quietly. Relieved with satisfaction.

"Miss, are you hungry?" Du Ruo stood beside Xia Ruan, "Master Hou said that you must be tired on this day, if you are hungry, let the slave prepare some food for you." There are a lot of guests here today. Hou Ye estimated that he would not be able to return to the new house until later. Therefore, the slave and maid will come and accompany you first. Duran, Angelica Angelica and Artemisia are all next door......"

Xia Ruan smiled slightly awkwardly. She was indeed hungry.

It's just that the bride eats before the groom enters the new house, and it doesn't seem to be very beyond, she still shook her head after thinking about it and said, "Wait for the Hou Ye to come back." Let's use it together. ”

"It's fine." Du Ruo smiled, "The slave is here to accompany you." ”

Xia Ruan raised her eyebrows, looking a little helpless: "What?" ”

When Du Ruo saw Xia Ruan's appearance, he smiled even more happily: "Master Hou said that you will think wildly, so let the slave and maid accompany you to talk and relieve your boredom." ”

Du Ruo's voice just fell, leaving Xia Ruan speechless.

Xiao Jiu could see through what she was thinking? She was really thinking.

Xia Ruan felt that the roots of her ears were slightly hot, how could she tell Du Ruo about these things?

"It's okay, I'll be alone." Xia Ruan smiled and said, "You rest early, there are still a lot of things in Ming'er's yard that you have to do in person, don't get tired." In a few days, I will discuss with Hou Ye to give you a small courtyard, so that Steward Liu and the child can also live here. ”

Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan in surprise, and then smiled: "The slave maid thanked Miss first, oh, no...... Slave, thank you, ma'am. ”

From today on, she is no longer the third lady of the Xia family, she is Mrs. Chang'an Hou.

Xia Ruan was stunned for a moment before laughing.

Originally, Xia Ruan didn't want Du Ruo to come here.

However, Du Ruo almost had a little temper with her, and Xia Ruan knew that Du Ruo was worried about her, so he reluctantly agreed.

Du Ruo added, "Okay, the slave maid will let Du Lan and Bai Zhi be on duty at night, and let them serve you to freshen up." ”

Xia Ruan doesn't like to dress up on weekdays, but now that her face is full of thick fat powder, she must be insomnia. Therefore, when Xiao Jiu entered the new house and Xia Ruan had used the wine, Du Lan and Bai Zhi could also remove the fat powder on her face.

Du Ruo's considerate appearance made Xia Ruan unintentional think about other things, she and Du Ruo said a few words carefully, and Du Ruo slowly retreated.

Silence returned to the room, except for the crackling of candles.

Xia Ruan couldn't help but look up at the new house.

This house was given by the emperor himself, and it is in Xicheng, so the area is naturally larger. Now there are only a few people left in Nan Xiao, Xiao Jiu's sister and his younger sister, and Aunt Lin, who came here on purpose. Other than that, there is no one else living here, and the house naturally seems a little empty.

The new house is the upper courtyard of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and when she entered the courtyard, she smelled the courtyard that seemed to have a fragrant smell, and she thought of the camellia in her yard.

At the beginning, she always carried the camellia sent by Xiao Jiu with her.

Sometimes, fate is such a wonderful thing. Something she never thought about would happen to catch her off guard. Xiao Jiu is now a marquis, and everything seems to have returned to the time when she left in her previous life, and it seems to be different from many places in her previous life, such as the burning gaze in that person's eyes.

Xia Ruan sighed secretly, she didn't know where she was good enough to be able to enter Xiao Jiu's eyes.

Before Xia Ruan could think about it, he heard footsteps outside the house.

"Master Hou, you're back in the room." When the voice of the old mother outside the courtyard came, Xia Ruan couldn't help but sit up straight again.

Xiao Jiu's voice was very soft: "Hmm." ”

At this time, the old mother pushed open the door and let Xiao Jiu walk in.

Xiao Jiu's complexion was originally fair, but at this time, his face was as white as jade, with a little drunken powder, and he seemed to be a little drunk.

Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Jiu with a light smile: "Master Hou." ”

Xiao Jiu saw Xia Ruan smiling at him, as if he was all tired. It's all gone in this moment.

The woman and servant beside her served the two of them with a combined wine, and brought a bowl of raw dumplings, and then the old mother smiled and asked Xia Ruan: "Madam, are you alive?" ”

"Raw." Xia Ruan's cheeks flushed, and the whole person seemed to be covered by rouge.

Xiao Jiu had never seen Xia Ruan like this, and Xia Ruan had never shown her weak side to anyone in front of outsiders, let alone such a shy expression.

After tossing and turning for a while, the women and servants retreated.

Xiao Jiu glanced at Xia Ruan, pointed at her phoenix crown and said, "Isn't it heavy?" ”

"Heavy ......" Xia Ruan said without even thinking about it, but the next moment she realized that she had said something wrong. Past. She was in front of Xiao Jiu. and they will disguise themselves. Because no matter how well she disguised, this person could always see that she was pretending to be strong, and occasionally reassuring her that she didn't have to be so tired. Over time, she also developed in front of Xiao Jiu. The habit of never lying.

It seems that all habits are at this moment. It's back to the way it used to be.

Xia Ruan was a little embarrassed at this time. Then he turned his head and added, "But it's not too tired." ”

Xiao Jiu listened and groaned, "In front of me, you don't have to say these words. ”

After speaking. He stood up and called Duran and Bai Zhi to come in and wait for the wash, and then went to the side of the room and did not come.

Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, she naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Jiu's words, this person was the same as in his previous life, he always didn't like her perfunctory words. It's just that if he hates perfunctory words, why does the people around him tell countless lies, and he never debunks them, and she ...... every time

Xia Ruan didn't know how to face Xiao Jiu, did she want to treat him like in her previous life?

However, in her previous life, she was just Xiao Jiu's friend, so she naturally didn't worry too much about her behavior.

But now, she is Xiao Jiu's wife, how can she be the same as in her previous life?

Xia Ruan didn't have time to think about it, so Du Lan and Bai Zhi took off the rouge on her face, and then after serving Xia Ruan to bathe, they touched some balm for her. The black hair was combed again and simply tied back with red silk.

She just sat down, and Xiao Jiu changed into a dark dress and walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Go down, you don't need anyone to wait here tonight." Xiao Jiu commanded Bai Zhi and Du Ruo, Du Ruo and Bai Zhi were obviously a little surprised, but quickly retreated.

Now Xia Ruan is the wife of Chang'an Hou, and this is Chang'an Hou's place, so they naturally have to listen to Xiao Jiu's orders.

Xiao Jiu handed the soup bowl in his hand to Xia Ruan: "I heard Du Ruo say just now, you didn't eat, so I asked the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup, you fill your stomach first." Later, I'll let the kitchen bring in some side dishes. ”

Xia Ruan raised his head and met Xiao Jiu's tender gaze.

She didn't think about it, so she took the ginseng soup from Xiao Jiu's hand and used it unceremoniously.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room, she felt a little weird.

Although she had prepared before, she was Xiao Jiu's wife, so she naturally had the obligation to be a wife. But she really didn't have many good memories of these things, so she was a little scared in her heart. But Xia Ruan didn't know how to speak, so he could only bow his head and drink the soup in his hand, silent.

"Ah Ruan, wait for you to tell me about the boxes of gold bars." Xiao Jiu held the teacup and said in a soft voice, "In the past few days, many people from the He family have come to want to know the origin of these things. ”

As soon as Xia Ruan heard this, he stopped what he was doing.

She quickly forgot what she was worried about just now, and nodded at Xiao Jiu: "I also learned about this matter from Mother Chen's mouth. My grandfather didn't tell me too clearly, but I can't be sure if Chen's mother's words are true or false. ”

Xiao Jiu just saw Xia Ruan's hand holding the soup bowl trembling slightly, and knew that she was nervous.

In fact, he knew a little about the origin of the gold bars in Xia Ruan's dowry, but at this time, if she talked about it with Xia Ruan, she would not have the heart to be afraid anymore.

Sure enough, he just mentioned it, and Xia Ruan's eyes didn't have the fear just now. (To be continued......)
