251 Cooperation
When Shang Jinyun set a goal for himself, Shang Jin, who was already sensible, also made a decision in his heart.
This day is the wedding of Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua, but including the two protagonists, no one is optimistic about this wedding at all. Some people are proud, some people regret it, and they all feel that the 'stupid' Shang Jinxiu is not worthy of the king of Jiaozhou at all, and it is a great shame for the king of Jiaozhou to have such a wife.
Even the emperor, although he knew that there was a mysterious master hidden behind the merchant, felt that Anton Hua's choice was too risky. After all, the merchant is still from the grassroots, and that master has nothing to do with Shang Jinxiu, so how much help he can give Anton Hua is really debatable.
An Donghua himself was nervous, although he was sure of Shang Jinxiu in his heart, but if he really wanted to say it, he didn't have too deep feelings for Shang Jinxiu, but Shang Jinxiu impressed him deeply, and with Bai Yujing's words, he subconsciously chose Shang Jinxiu.
He doesn't know what 'unforgettable' love is, and he doesn't know if he can experience it in Shang Jinxiu in his life. But since he chose Shang Jinxiu as his wife, he will try his best to protect her, like her, and not make her sad.
In order to show his sincerity, he personally took people to the business to greet his relatives. Looking at the bride wearing a red wedding dress and a hippa on her head, Antonhua's heart beat out of rhythm again. Shang Jinxiu once made a deep impression on him, he remembered that she was a much more beautiful little girl, but he didn't know what she had become now.
He had already inquired about the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, and the strange thing was that everyone's impression of Shang Jinxiu was nothing but 'dull'. It's just that the appearance is so average, I can't even think about it. I can only remember a rough outline, and I can be regarded as a beauty.
Antonhua thought this situation was really weird. With Shang Jinxiu's appearance, not to mention stunning, it can definitely be impressive, as long as you look at it, you can never forget it, how can it be so mediocre?
Could it be that it has changed?
However, although he was suspicious, he didn't care that Shang Jinxiu became ugly, he cared more about how Shang Jinxiu made himself stand out from the crowd.
There were a lot of people watching the excitement, and they all had smiles on their faces. What they really think in their hearts is something that only they know.
This wedding, in the eyes of some people, is nothing more than a ridiculous farce. Whether it is An Donghua or Shang Jinxiu, their endings are already doomed, but they are just two poor people who can never turn over.
When the emperor visited the church, the emperor did not show up, and there were not many guests, and the whole wedding seemed deserted.
In the eyes of almost everyone. Anton Hua has been completely disgusted by the emperor, and even has to go to Jiaozhou to die, at such a time, who will come to his wedding. Offend the emperor or even other potential princes?
The people who came were all some neutrals, and they went through the motions in a meaningful way.
Anton's face was always tight. The palm hidden in the sleeve has long been pinched into a bloody blur. Although he knew that he was no longer the highly respected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the beginning, today was his wedding after all. Being so snubbed really made him unacceptable.
He looked at Shang Jinxiu's gaze with shame all the time. It's a pity that Shang Jinxiu can't see it at all through the hijab.
After sending Shang Jinxiu into the cave room, Anton Hua ordered someone to prepare some food for her, and instructed: "If you are hungry, eat something first, don't worry about anything else." ”
He looked at Shang Jinxiu, his voice a little nervous. Shang Jinxiu didn't care, nodded and said he heard it, but didn't say anything.
An Donghua was suddenly a little disappointed in his heart, he felt that Shang Jinxiu was very cold to him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, Shang Jinxiu probably disliked his identity and didn't want to marry him at all, right? But since she married him, he didn't allow her to regret it anymore.
With his fists clenched, Anton-hwa left the new house and went back to entertain the guests.
Most of the guests who came this time were gentlemen from some aristocratic families. An Donghua, a deposed prince who has lost power, even if he becomes the king of Jiaozhou, how long can he live in a place like Jiaozhou? It's just a mortal man.
Dealing with such a person, they naturally wouldn't be polite to him, so they poured Antonhua's wine vigorously. Anton Hua lost power, in fact, there are still some useful people in his hands, and there are also some friends who are sincerely friends.
It's just that these people are hidden in the shadows and can't be exposed. So now, there is no one around him who can even use it, and those friends can only pretend to be cold, unable to treat him for drinking, and unable to help him restrain those gentlemen.
It wasn't until the people were getting more and more troubled that someone said unhappily: "Enough! Do you want to get drunk to death? ”
The one who spoke was a young man with a handsome face, slightly older than An Donghua, about twenty years old, his name is Si Nanchen, he is the eldest princess's sister-in-law, he has been friends with An Donghua since he was a child, and he treats An Donghua as his own brother.
Those gentlemen wanted to make trouble again, but when they saw him speak, they had to restrain themselves. An Donghua knew that Si Nanchen was here to help him, and he was grateful, but he just glanced at Si Nanchen coldly.
Seeing this, Si Nanchen's face also sank, and he snorted coldly and said, "I think you should just get drunk to death, anyway, I'm afraid you won't be able to live long when you get to Jiaozhou." After speaking, he said to the others, "It's really boring here, I'll have a treat tonight, how about everyone go to the Drunken Immortal Building together?" ”
When he made this suggestion, the gentlemen immediately clapped their hands and followed him one after another.
As soon as they left, the courtyard was completely deserted, and Antonhua, who was already 'drunk', looked at the cups and plates all over the yard, his eyes were cold, how could there be a trace of drunkenness?
The wedding clothes on his body had become crumpled, and there were large water marks on them, and the clothes were all stuck to his body, as if they had just been fished out of the water. The air is filled with the rich aroma of sake, accompanied by the flavor of the dishes.
Anton Hua let out a long breath, ordered someone to clean up, and then turned around and left the courtyard. He didn't go directly to the new house, but first went to take a shower, get rid of the smell of alcohol, and change into a clean wedding dress again before going to the new house.
His steps were slow at first, but as he walked, he subconsciously quickened his steps, and his heart, which was already cold and hard, jumped violently again.
The closer he got to his new house, the more nervous he became.
Pushing the door in, bypassing the screen, he saw at a glance that the food on the table had been removed. The man who was supposed to sit on the bed and wait for him was not there, and the room was empty.
An Donghua's heart tightened, and at this moment he even had a ridiculous guess in his heart - Shang Jinxiu threw him down and ran away?
But soon, he knew he had guessed wrong. He heard footsteps, subconsciously looked over, and through the beaded curtain, he happened to see a girl in a white undershirt walking slowly.
An Donghua recognized her at a glance, it was the concubine he chose himself-Shang Jinxiu.
Shang Jinxiu opened the bead curtain with his hand and walked out, and when he saw An Donghua, he only raised his eyebrows, and his eyes didn't even change at all. She just smiled slightly: "The guests are already gone?" The attitude is naturally as if two people have been husband and wife for many years, rather than a newcomer who has only met a few times and has just become married.
However, Antonhua still felt the cold alienation that she hid in her smile and politeness.
He subconsciously frowned, and he didn't like Shang Jinxiu's attitude towards him very much.
Shang Jinxiu walked past him, and he didn't stop, so he walked to the chaise longue, lay on it lazily, his slender legs were folded, his arms were resting on the armrests, and he looked at Andonghua, who was frowning and silent, and said his proposal with a smile: "Since we have become husband and wife, let's cooperate, how about it?" ”
An Donghua was still frowning, he looked at Shang Jinxiu, but he felt that he couldn't understand what Shang Jinxiu was saying at all. Cooperate? What cooperation? What can they work with? Have a baby?
The thought that there would be one or even several children belonging to them in the future, his heart involuntarily softened, and even the frowning brow that had been tightly furrowed unconsciously relaxed.
Shang Jinxiu continued to throw out his bait: "Now everyone thinks that you, the king of Jiaozhou, can't live long in Jiaozhou, and you are a mortal person, but I know that you definitely don't think so, you must not want to die, right?" ”
Because of her words, An Donghua's already stretched brows furrowed again, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Shang Jinxiu with a cold gaze: "Who asked you to say this to me?" ”
An Donghua subconsciously felt that these words should not be something that Shang Jinxiu could say. After all, Shang Jinxiu is only thirteen years old, how could she say such a thing?
He didn't even know whether to say that Shang Jinxiu was too bold or too stupid to say such a thing to him like this.
Shang Jinxiu didn't pay attention to An Donghua's thoughts, she just threw out her own conditions: "No matter what you do, you need silver, I don't know how much silver you have in your hand now, but I can promise you that as long as you cooperate with me, I can help you earn silver." ”
After she finished speaking, she took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve and put them on the table: "These are the sincerity of my cooperation." ”
Anton Hua looked at the silver tickets, and at this glance, his face showed a look of surprise. He was genuinely surprised, not deliberately pretending. It may be strange, but he just doesn't want to disguise himself in front of Shang Jinxiu.
He really didn't expect that Shang Jinxiu would be able to take out so many silver tickets, it seems that the merchant's family background is much richer than he imagined. Shang Jinxiu's dowry is also much more than everyone knows.
Shang Jinxiu looked at him with satisfaction, and smiled and took out something, it was a small and delicate glass bottle, the bottle was stuffed with a cork, and as soon as it was taken out, a trace of a faint fragrance wafted from the cork.
The glass bottle itself has a faint green color and is translucent, and you can see the water-like liquid inside through the bottle. The small bottle was placed in the palm of her hand, and her slender fingers were stretched out, and the palm of her hand was a healthy pink, which was in stark contrast to the small glass bottle.
She tilted her head playfully, always with a smile on her face: "Do you think those ladies will like this thing if it is taken out and sold?" (To be continued......)
