Chapter 69: No Parting (6)
On the wedding night, Zhang's mansion is still a festive appearance, but there is no wedding banquet, no guests, the whole mansion is cold and no one speaks, and even the subordinates in the mansion are cautious when they move around, for fear of touching the master's moldy head.
The sky gradually cleared, and Ruan Qingyu, who was in the marriage room, sat alone at the head of the bed and secretly felt sad. Zhang Shaoqing sat in the study all night, and she followed her all night. The food and tea on the table have long been cool, the silver carved wine has not been touched, and the mandarin duck is even more polished. It wasn't until Xi'er, the personal maid, brought a basin of water to serve her makeup and washing, that she was finally willing to change out of the red wedding dress.
"Miss, my husband's master sent a message early in the morning, saying that Miss was in the rain yesterday and was frightened, so she didn't have to go to ask for peace today, just rest in the house."
"Don't you have to say hello? Is it appropriate to be so rude on the first day of entry? ”
Ruan Qingyu in the bronze mirror is indeed haggard, a toss, sad all night, and indeed there is not much energy at the moment. But she is a person who is used to separation, and she always feels a little reluctant when she thinks of being so casual on the first day of her wedding. But the maid on the side saw it thoroughly, and she was enlightening her step by step.
"Miss don't take it to heart, there's nothing inappropriate. Most of the Zhang family members are very strange, first of all, the Mrs. Zhang family is obviously in good health, but her son's wedding is hiding in the south and refusing to show up, so she casually called a sister to come back to attend, obviously not paying enough attention to us. Moreover, this son Zhang is amorous, and he has to marry on the same day on his own initiative, but he ends up embarrassed by everyone. The young lady is treated as a treasure in the Ruan family, but when she comes to their house, she has to suffer such anger. So, why bother to tell them anything? ”
"Xi'er, don't talk like that."
Xi'er is Ruan Qingyu's personal companion brought from her mother's family, the Ruan family has no daughters, only these two have been companions since childhood, Ruan Qingyu has a gentle temper and has no master's shelf, so most of the current Xi'er has nothing to say without scruples. What she said was a little ugly, but it was also true, Ruan Qingyu looked embarrassed but couldn't refute it.
"Xi'er is Miss's person, so naturally she has to listen to Miss's words. If you really don't want to listen, the slave doesn't say anything. But then again, Miss is married after all, and she has to plan for her future. ”
"Plans? So, what should we plan? ”
"To be honest, when I saw that Miss Yin family yesterday, the slave didn't feel that she was such a chic person. Pretty is beautiful, but Miss, you are no worse than her, besides, that young lady's temper is a lot worse, our Ruan family doesn't mind the matter of a flat wife, what kind of temper is she playing there for nothing? ”
Xi'er waited for Ruan Qingyu to comb her hair and talked to her about her opinions on yesterday's events, and continued when she saw her young lady nodding in approval.
"Even so, the young master of the Nafu family is different from what we think. As soon as Miss Yin left, he was so anxious that he had to stop the ceremony as soon as possible to look for someone. Although the person was stopped, but he didn't know where he flew, not only did he dare to show his face to the young lady, but he didn't enter the cave room all night last night, and he hid far away alone. ”
At this time, Ruan Qingyu was a little bit of Xi'er before she thought of her father and brother at home, they already had a lot of complaints about this marriage, if they knew that they were forced to stay alone in the empty room on the wedding night, they were afraid that they would definitely come to Zhang's house to make trouble. Only then did he hurriedly tell Xi'er again and again that she must hide the matter properly and never reveal a little rumor.
Since the day of the wedding ceremony, Zhang Shaoqing has treated her with a cold look, Ruan Qingyu is not unable to feel it, but she always thinks that as long as she works harder and tolerates more, one day he can feel his love and be moved, but the truth is not optimistic. The wedding ceremony was disrupted, and Ruan Qingyu, who was also a bride, was emotionally hurt, but Zhang Shaoqing didn't care about it and never had a word of comfort.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, sympathizing with his bad mood, Ruan Qingyu did not force Zhang Shaoqing to stay with him, but just sent Xi'er to pretend to visit and send tea a few times, but even such careful thinking was still ruthlessly rejected by him.
She is a person who is used to receiving love, and after meeting Zhang Shaoqing, she has worked hard to learn to love, but now she is really at a loss.
"Is my sister-in-law there?"
Zhang Xuanyi's voice broke Ruan Qingyu's sad contemplation, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Zhang Xuanyi carrying the stove into the house.
"It's my sister-in-law here, please come in quickly. I was supposed to get up early to say hello to everyone, but it was difficult for my sister-in-law to come and run this trip by herself. ”
Ruan Qingyu had a smile on her face, and every word she said was polite and appropriate. The two of them were polite to each other, and found an excuse to send Xi'er out, and then they both sat down.
"I just came from my brother, thinking that I would always be relieved that my sister-in-law would come to see me. Although it is about to start spring, but the house stopped the dragon heating early and encountered rainy weather, I am afraid that it is still a little cold, so I will send another heater to my sister-in-law. ”
"My sister-in-law has a heart, I'm out of the way."
Ruan Qingyu was still slightly shy, and did not mention the slightest complaint about yesterday's incident, but Zhang Xuanyi took the initiative to comfort her.
"Yesterday's incident brother did not do it properly, including his attitude towards you is not very good. But he is the best person in the world, and there must be reasons for what he does and what choices he makes. We as women are not always aware of everything and participate in everything. Qingyu's sister-in-law is a rare and intelligent person, since she can marry her brother as a wife, she still understands such a simple truth. ”
"Naturally, yes. Since I married into the Zhang family, my heart is naturally all in Shaoqing, even if there is any problem, I will follow his ideas, my sister-in-law can rest assured. However, Shaoqing, is he okay now? ”
Ruan Qingyu's words can be regarded as heartfelt words, although there are too many unpleasant things that have happened in just one day of marrying the Zhang family, as long as it is about Zhang Shaoqing, she will not have any opinions. She hadn't seen him all night, and she was still worried about him.
"Alas, my brother is really not in a good mood, and he didn't say a few words to me. But fortunately, there is no need to go to court for the time being, and it will always be good to give him some time to rest and rest. ”
"So, does my sister-in-law have any news about Sister Yin?"
After a few hesitations, he still asked, and when he saw Zhang Xuanyi glancing at him while drinking tea, Ruan Qingyu hurriedly explained.
"I, I don't mean anything else. I just thought that Sister Yin would come back safely earlier, and Shaoqing would always get better sooner. ”
"Originally, I didn't know, but when I was leaving, I met the guards who came back to restore my life, saying that Sister Su Su walked to the top of the East Emperor Cliff alone, and fell off the cliff in the heavy rain."
