Volume 2 Chapter 172 The Red Candle Begins to Rise

It was broad daylight outside the carved window, but the new house was already lit with red candles, and the windows, cabinets, and beds were pasted with red letters. The bright red color conceals the bride's gorgeousness, and contrasts her childish and pure white face with more charm.

Guo's cheeks were flushed, full of shame, but he smiled faintly, and it was an indescribable shyness.

Zhu Gaoxu walked up to her, and she avoided her gaze, but the corner of her eye was obviously paying attention to him, as if she couldn't stand the too strong affection and wanted to hide, but she couldn't bear to hide.

She sat upright on the edge of the bed, dignified and beautiful, holding her hands together on her knees, too nervous to move; Under the dignified and restrained, he obviously sat on the edge of the bed and waited for something, without a trace of resistance, as if he was catering to that matter. It is impossible to tell whether she is refusing or welcome.

This is the natural reaction of a fourteen-year-old lady who has never experienced human affairs, without the slightest trace of performance.

Zhu Gaoxu smelled a smell mixed with various flowers and spices, and the makeup had already covered her original breath. It's like a dish with too many spices, it's not pure, but it's still delicious.

He also sat on the edge of the bed, feeling everything about this strange little girl.

Guo Shi turned to Zhu Gaoxu slightly, still keeping his head down. Zhu Gaoxu reached out and took the phoenix crown that was a little heavy on her head, and a delicate hair was suddenly revealed on her head. The jet black of the sideburns and the jade white of the ears are commensurate with the youthful atmosphere; But although the coat she wore was luxurious, it looked old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and the contrast was great. It is even more obvious when the phoenix crown is taken, as if two different styles of things have been forcibly rubbed together.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her appearance, and couldn't help but think of another image in the imperial garden of the palace that day, and really felt that the person in front of him was a little girl who had not grown up yet.

Most people in the Ming Dynasty were not physically precocious, and at the age of fourteen they were junior high school girls, no different. It's just that in order for people to prosper, it is customary for women to marry 14 and men 15 to marry. Guo is not a precocious type, she is still a young and delicate girl.

Zhu Gaoxu's hand was in the air, and he had to have a strong sense of guilt, and he was worried that if she was pregnant, would the fourteen-year-old girl hang up? In ancient times, when women gave birth to a level, they were indeed risking their lives, and the mortality rate was extremely high.

When he thought of this, he was even more hesitant. Since it's a cave room, it doesn't seem perfect to forget it like this, but seeing that her body is a little thin and immature, she can't bear it, after all, she is her own person.

He put his hand on Guo's shoulder first, and Guo fell on the bed, her face was red, her eyes were a little dull, and she bit her lips lightly, as if she was waiting to be tortured...... It's like the fear before the injection.

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his forehead with his hands, feeling a little at a loss and having nowhere to start.

"I don't want to lose you." Zhu Gaoxu muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, Guo's voice trembled: "Lord Wang, don't you know how to do it?" I know, I've learned. ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

She turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu's scratching head with flickering eyes, and said embarrassedly in a voice like a mosquito flapping her wings: "The book says that I will wait for the prince to take off his clothes." Take off my clothes first......

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the shoes on her feet, but took off her shoes first, and then put her legs on the bed.

He loved this little girl very much in his heart, but he really didn't want to vent his beastly desires on her. It's just that this cave room spends candle nights, he must sleep with the bride, and the cave room doesn't do anything just sleeping? It seems to be a bit perfunctory, and Guo Shi has already laid it out.

"I see!" Zhu Gaoxu said suddenly.

Guo blushed, glanced at him, and lay there straight and straight without saying a word.

He gently held Guo's jade hand, and Guo's body tensed again, looking ready to endure Zhu Gaoxu's actions. Her hands are so beautiful, her skin is shiny and shiny, and the feeling of holding it is smooth and soft. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but close the ten fingers of the two of them and greedily pressed them against her palms.

He picked up the soft wattle again, put it to his mouth and kissed it, so that her fingertips felt his red lips......

Night hadn't fallen yet, but they couldn't wait for dark.

……

Early the next morning, Guo Shi didn't get up, his face was tired, and he was still sleeping in a daze. Zhu Gaoxu is in good spirits, in addition to physically, he has been greatly satisfied mentally and psychologically. He got up first, put on a leather robe, a large hairpin stuck in his hat, and a crimson robe.

This dress was not overdone, because Hou Hai told him that he would go to see the emperor and empress today, and that he would go to Guo's house tomorrow, and he would wear this kind of clothes. Zhu Gaoxu put it on first, saving it and changing it again.

After he got up, he first summoned Wang Gui to see him and told him to bring the gift list to see. Yesterday, people who came to a courtyard were received by the main marriage envoy and the officials of the Zongren Mansion, but Zhu Gaoxu did not come forward, he had to complete the wedding ceremony. But whoever has been here, look at the gift list to know.

Wang Gui brought a thick stack of paper. Zhu Gaoxu looked at the names in turn, just to see which people didn't come. It seems that all the heroes of the "Jing Difficulty" came, as well as his two brothers, brothers-in-law, and brothers-in-law, and some civil officials of Jianwen also came. The nobles of the clan who were not in Beijing, as well as Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Hui and other original advisors from the Yan Palace, did not come, but only brought gifts, and most of the civil officials did not even give gifts.

He really couldn't read what was recorded in it, anyway, he was dazzled and only knew one result: he became rich.

Guo brought a very rich dowry, although it was hers, but the meat was rotten in the pot. A large number of gifts received at the wedding banquet were also a large amount.

The county king is good, but he really can't make a fortune by relying on it, and he mainly relies on the emperor's reward. It is quite impressive to get so much treasure at once.

Zhu Gaoxu once again felt that it was actually very good to be a vassal king, as long as he was allowed to be a vassal king safely, why should he toss? Now in the early Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family has more than 200 years in the world, and they can die of old age.

At this moment, he noticed that there were many names recorded on the colophon, and they gave a gift. Those eunuchs in the palace actually got a share.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, and suddenly said in his heart: Treat people with sincerity, and people will treat me with sincerity.

When he flipped through it for the second time, he actually found the names of Ping'an, Sheng Yong, and He Fu. Especially He Fu, who came in person, and sent it very richly, it was a lot of blood. This guy happened to bump into Zhu Gaoxu in the battle of Lingbi, and the two fought, and He Fu was defeated. Now he actually looked like he didn't know each other, and went to the palace in person to give a big gift.

Zhu Gaoxu specially looked at He Fu's gift list and probably remembered it in his heart, so that he could repay the favor in the future.
