Chapter 136: Together
Outside the gate of Xiangyang Palace, next to the empty sedan chair parked, is Su Yixing, who is pacing leisurely. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info around him, the talking onlookers and the greeting guests who probed their brains were all thinking about such a question - what should this wedding do when the bride has been snatched away?
It's just that then, the arrival of Xia Shuanghan, who rode with Lu Shaoyun, solved the confusion of these onlookers who were either confused or purely watching the show.
jumped off the horse cleanly, took a deep breath and prepared to fulfill his promise, Xia Shuanghan, turned around and took a deep look at Lu Shaoyun for the last time, and then walked towards Su Yixing, who was waiting for him by the sedan chair with a red hijab.
"Yes, it is true that there is no delay in the auspicious time, but it is just ......" looked down and looked at Xia Shuanghan's lips that had faded and broken skin and were still slightly red and swollen, knowing that this must be Lu Shaoyun's masterpiece, Su Yixing was doubly annoyed.
It's just that after thinking that as long as she worships with herself, Xia Shuanghan will have no relationship with Lu Shaoyun in the future, Su Yixing still swallowed the unhappiness in his heart.
"Frost ......" watched Xia Shuanghan take the red cover in Su Yixing's hand and put it on the phoenix crown with affection and reluctance, knowing that if he wanted to win back his sweetheart, then the best way was not to delay time here, but to seize the time to deal with those things that he urgently needed to deal with Lu Shaoyun, Yin Yin instructed "take care of yourself", and then got back on the horse, turned around and left the Xiangyang Palace.
The short drama at the door, which failed to cause any disputes, disappointed the onlookers who had been expecting to see Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing fight for a woman. Even, even the bride who was supposed to lead Xia Shuanghan to complete the next ceremony was no longer useful because she was stunned for a moment.
Xia Shuanghan, who had already married a person once in his previous life according to the customs of the Han people, was very clear about the whole process at the wedding. So, without anyone's support, relying on the square inch of land exposed under the hijab, Xia Shuanghan stepped straight over the brazier, crossed the saddle, and completed three bows and three rises in the main hall with Su Yixing.
With a chant of "Licheng, send it to the cave room", he walked out of the main hall and walked into the backyard, leaving all the noise and noise behind Xia Shuanghan, and finally after getting the peace, he lifted the heavy red hijab and gave the blocked sight a clear vision.
"Don't be a countryman! This hijab has to wait for the prince to lift it! When the bride was already stepping into the brazier, Xia Shuanghan put aside the bride on the grounds of "the steps are so small, I feel uncomfortable walking with you", and said in shock: "You are unlucky to do this, it will damage the blessing of the love of husband and wife!" ”
"Can you please stop talking, it's a headache for me." The phoenix crown that has been worn for several hours, at this time, I only feel the sore summer frost in my neck, and I just want to go back to the house as soon as possible to remove the heavy objects on my head so that I can relax and relax. As for what damages the source of blessings? She doesn't want to marry Su Yixing, what does it matter to her that husband and wife are in love?
"You, lead the way." Xia Shuanghan held the back of his neck with one hand and slowly moved the sore muscles in his neck, and with the other hand, he casually clicked one of the two girls who were waiting on the side: "Go faster, if before taking me back to the new house, you were stepped on by me because you walked too slowly, then I'm sorry, I will return you to the princess tomorrow, and then ask her to send me a quick hand and foot over." ”
"Yes, princess."
The flash of disdain in the eyes of the girl who bowed her head did not escape Xia Shuanghan's eyes.
Xia Shuanghan knew that even before today's visit, her marriage with Su Yixing did not add twists and turns because of Lu Shaoyun's sudden appearance, and with her civilian, arrogant words and deeds, it was impossible for her to gain the respect of many subordinates in the Xiangyang Palace.
After all, casual, sassy, these words have nothing to do with all the nobles in the capital. Therefore, it is not surprising that Xia Shuanghan's "vulgarity" and "uneducatedness" will be secretly despised by these maids who have been trained since childhood in Xiangyang Palace.
It's just that Xia Shuanghan, who thinks that "as long as she lives happily, it doesn't matter what others think", she doesn't care at all. So, she strode forward, and just like that, she drove the girl who ran with small steps like a chicken, and arrived at the Tingtao Courtyard where she was about to live for three years in the future.
The custom of the Han people in Daxia, who has a little status, and who does not need to go out to run or work in the field, must bind her feet, is the most hated by Xia Shuanghan.
As Xu said in his previous life, the foot-bound woman walked with a quiet, virtuous, and graceful demeanor, but Xia Shuanghan didn't see it. All she saw was the deformed three-inch golden lotuses that were completely out of harmony with the proportions of their bodies and the length of their calves, and their swaying and snail-like walking style.
Therefore, in such a courtyard where the attendants are all foot-bound girls, Xia Shuanghan wants to take care of herself quickly, so she can only act according to her old way of life - self-reliance.
Faced with such a place that he would definitely leave in three years, Xia Shuanghan, who had been prepared at the beginning, brought very few items. Even considering that the pulp washing and needlework at home are inseparable from Aunt Fu and Mei Xiang, Xia Shuanghan didn't even bring a wedding girl.
found the wooden box where he placed his clothes in the new house, and Xia Shuanghan, who was retiring left and right, quickly removed the phoenix crown on his head and changed the wedding clothes on his body.
King Xiangyang, as a prince whose relatives within three generations have passed away except for his son, he failed to let Su Yixing have half of his relatives who can talk about having a relationship with him. Princess Xie of Xiangyang positioned herself as the chief housekeeper of the Xiangyang Palace, and it was impossible for her to take the initiative to bring her mother's family into the Su family. Therefore, at this moment, in the newly decorated and fiery new house, there is no half of the people who come to the cave room.
"Well, it's so quiet, it's very good." Changing out of the head-to-toe dress that Su Yixing prepared for her, Xia Shuanghan, who put on her Rong costume and kicked on her boots, turned around and opened the door and let in the maid with the hot water for her to wash.
In the process of washing off the incense powder and rouge on her face, the four big girls who were specially called by her in the Tao courtyard came forward one by one to greet Xia Shuanghan.
For the summer frost and cold, the hot water is brought to the eyes, and the eyebrows are soft and the one who looks more approachable is Zhichun; Before Xia Shuanghan changed her clothes, it was Banxia who obeyed her instructions to send the chattering bride out of the house; Fang was just a few steps behind Xia Shuanghan, and it was Qingqiu who followed the girl who led the way to follow Xia Shuanghan to Tingtao Courtyard; The beautiful and graceful maid who leads the way for the summer frost is honeysuckle.
"Honeysuckle? Why is there a girl with this name everywhere? Thinking back to his previous life, he especially remembered that among the two girls who had been arranged by the Xu family for Lu Shaoyun, one of them was called Honeysuckle's Summer Frost, and I couldn't help but feel a slight stagnation in my heart.
Subsequently, after carefully looking at the person in front of her and confirming that this honeysuckle was not the other honeysuckle, she thought that she couldn't embarrass others for a name, and quickly threw away the little unhappiness in her heart.
For Xia Shuanghan, who regards "the next three years of life that will unfold in Tingtao Courtyard" as a small episode in her life, she is not half interested in things like subduing subordinates and training girls. As long as the subordinates in the Xiangyang Palace's mansion don't bully her and make her unhappy, then she will not deliberately provoke and embarrass others. It's just that if someone really deceives her, then she has never been afraid of things with the whip in her hand.
Xia Shuanghan, who had washed up and recognized the girl, visited the entire Tingtao Courtyard when it was still early and Su Yixing had not returned. Subsequently, after understanding the layout of the courtyard and thoroughly familiarizing himself with the main house where he lived, Xia Shuanghan, who had been busy all day, returned to the round table in the new house and enjoyed the belated dinner.
The round table in the new room is full of cakes that I don't like to eat, and Xia Shuanghan, who has been hungry on the wedding night in her previous life, even if you don't look at it, is already clear in your chest. So, considering that there was a banquet in the front yard of Xiangyang Palace, and the cooks in the big kitchen were too busy, Xia Shuanghan also meaningfully ordered a bowl of noodles for himself in the small kitchen of Tingtao Courtyard.
"The hijab is lifted, the clothes are changed, the makeup is removed, and you don't even wait for your husband to come and drink wine with you, you can eat the noodles yourself, Xia Shuang Han, you are really enough!"
When night fell, Su Yixing, who was obviously conscious and not drunk, with a clear smell of wine on his body, after pushing open the door of the new house, saw such a picture, Xia Shuanghan held the chopsticks holding the noodles and blew on it.
"I didn't want to marry you in the first place, so why would you expect me to sit on the edge of the bed like a log and wait for you to lift the hijab?" Lightly glanced at Su Yixing, who closed the door and walked to sit opposite him, Xia Shuanghan, who was sucking noodles, sniffed his nose and said, "Before going to bed, please wash the smell of wine on your body, otherwise, I don't guarantee that I can abide by the agreement to sleep in the same room with you." ”
Looking at Xia Shuanghan's lively and comfortable appearance, even though he knew that the three-year covenant he proposed at the beginning could preserve her natural nature to the greatest extent, Su Yixing was still amused by her behavior.
"......" took Su Yixing, who was silent with a smile and an unfathomable face, put down the chopsticks in his hand, endured a layer of goosebumps on his arm, took the wine jug on the round table and poured a glass of wine for himself and Su Yixing, and said: "Just hand over a glass or something, I really don't want to be choked by the noodles I just ate all night." So, do it first for respect. ”
Facing the summer frost and cold, it is not like a husband and wife drinking together, but like a good brother talking about wine, Su Yixing is faintly unhappy in his heart. It's just that Su Yixing, who glanced at Xia Shuang's empty left wrist and knew that she had taken off the Rong bracelet that symbolized the relationship between her and Lu Shaoyun according to his request, still calmed down his restless mind after silently reciting "The coming day is long" a few times.
Su Yixing, who raised his head and drank the clear wine in the cup, realizing that his presence would more or less affect Xia Shuanghan's appetite, turned around and walked out of the inner room to the clean room.
In the foggy clean room, like the other three, Xia Shuanghan said, "I'm not used to being served, you can weigh yourself and do something for the prince" sent out the honeysuckle of the new house, thinking of Xia Shuanghan's not outstanding appearance and vulgar and rude words and deeds, and couldn't help but have the idea of competing with him.
"Honeysuckle, let's go, it's time for us to go out." It was expected that Su Yixing would definitely take a bath and change clothes before going to bed, put away the bathing utensils and change of clothes he needed, and then turned his head to beckon Honeysuckle and wanted to leave with her. It's a pity that Honeysuckle, who has already given birth to ambition in her heart, is not the same heart as her.
"Whatever you want, I'll go first." Banxia, who saw her intentions from Honeysuckle's grinding behavior, knew that even if she persuaded herself, it would be useless, so she left the clean room before Su Yixing arrived with the idea of "let her go".
When he bypassed the screen and stepped into the clean room that should have been empty, the honeysuckle who wanted to cover up in the rising fog and tried the water temperature in the barrel, the ambition carefully hidden in his eyes and the dissatisfaction with Xia Shuanghan becoming the princess did not escape Su Yixing's keen eyes.
"I can let the princess pick and appoint you, I think you are also an old man who has been in the Xiangyang palace for many years, so why is the rule that the prince of this world bathes and never lets people serve, don't you know?"
Faced with a young girl like Honeysuckle, who had gradually regained his ambition in the past few years due to his lack of femininity, but now that he had begun to enliven his mind after marrying a wife, Su Yixing only felt strong disgust and fatigue.
"I can understand that you want to soar into the sky and live the life of a human being, but don't forget ......"
Su Yixing, who said this, couldn't help but be stained with coldness and frost in his eyes, "The reason why I accepted the princess's arrangement for you to come over is so that you can take care of the princess." Therefore, if you can't have some self-knowledge and restrain the foolish extravagance in your hearts, then you will only encounter a more tragic end than the girls who made me unhappy before. ”
"The prince spares his life, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore." Knowing that his ambition was already hidden under Su Yixing's insight, Honeysuckle realized how stupid his actions were as if he had just woken up from a dream. So, she hurriedly trembled and knelt down, and began to plead for herself without stopping.
"Alright, let's get out." Glancing at Honeysuckle, who was instantly pale and sweating because of his words, Su Yixing, who didn't want to let these unpleasant little things ruin his big day, raised his hand indifferently and waved it away.
"I think it's because the maids in the house have been too quiet and self-conscious in the past few years, so Aunt Xie was clumsy for a while and picked such a girl over."
Su Yixing, who had made up his mind to replace Honeysuckle tomorrow in his own words, cleaned the wine from his body behind the screen where the fog rose. Then, wearing a snow-white shirt and pants, he returned to the new house with his long wet hair. (To be continued.) )
