Chapter 196: Newlywed
The temperature is warming, it is almost summer, and the day is getting earlier and earlier.
Outside the window, the magpie perched on a branch outside the lattice, chirping incessantly into the house.
Tong Yan muttered in confusion and leaned towards the warm place beside her.
Cheng Huai had already sat up, and as soon as he wanted to pull the quilt and get out of bed, he put a Qianqianyu hand on his body.
But it's just now.
He looked down at Tong Yan snuggled beside him, his eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
The long eyelashes are like a fan, the eyebrows are slightly frowned, the little face is flushed, and the small mouth is slightly pouted, as if he is dissatisfied with the voice outside.
Cheng Huai stretched out his hand and wanted to flatten her forehead for her, but when his fingertips were only an inch away from the center of her eyebrows, he stopped again.
He retracted his hand in a stumbling manner.
Don't wake her up, it's still early, rest for a while.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour, Tong Yan slowly opened her eyes without warning, facing Cheng Huai's gentle eyes.
"Awake?" Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise, what time is this?
He stroked the hair on her ear lovingly, and said softly, "It's still early, let's go to sleep again, I'll go out for a run, and I'll come back later and ask you to have breakfast together, okay?" ”
Tong Yan listened to his voice like a trickling hot spring, raised the corners of her mouth, fiddled with his bony palms, and shook her head coquettishly "um".
"Then, I'll lie down with you for a while, and let's have breakfast together?" Cheng Huai thought for a moment, smiled and touched her smooth cheeks.
If Xingyuan and Xingzhong, the two little servants who served him, heard this, they would have to drop their jaws in shock.
Since entering school, they have never slacked off in their morning exercises, let alone slept for a day, which is called a conscientious work.
Tong Yan hummed and chirped for a while, before hanging on Cheng Huai's neck, and said, "I'm also very diligent, okay, you go to run your horse, I'll practice my arrows, let's have breakfast together in a while, and when we finish breakfast, we will go to my parents-in-law to say goodbye." ”
Cheng Huai didn't expect that she had been insisting on practicing archery, so he couldn't help but look at her with admiration, scratched her little nose with a smile, and kissed her forehead before slowly saying, "Okay." ”
He got up first, took a royal blue robe from the cabinet and put it on, tied up his hair neatly, and then called the maid to come in and wait for Tong Yan to get up, and he strode out to run a horse with a hundred times more energy.
Tong Yan noticed that when he left, he still had a square box in his hand, and he didn't know what it was.
Qingzhi and the others came in with their things happily, and after saying auspicious words and bowing, they came over to serve Tong Yan to wash.
Lingyin deliberately chose a red tuanhua with gold trim in a jacket, festive and gorgeous, as if she was afraid that others would not know that Tong Yan was the bride who had just passed the door, and Tong Yan was very resistant to it and didn't want to wear it at all.
Not only that, but even the one on his head was made of red gold with rubies.
Tong Yan thought, "This is too exaggerated, I'm not in my twenties, isn't it a joke for a little girl to dress like this?" ”
It's a pity that this time Ling Yin and the others couldn't let her go, and they fully armed her as if they were chasing ducks to the shelves.
"The county lord is a bride, how can anyone laugh at the bride for wearing red, and besides, the county lord is so beautiful, he can best support this color!" Ji Yue smiled and handed the horse face skirt to Suzune.
Usually, the county lord said that he didn't wear bright colors, but he finally seized such an opportunity, and they couldn't let it go.
The person in the bronze mirror painted maple leaf red lipstick, his eyebrows were like a crescent moon, his fair and delicate face was dyed with a faint rouge, and the rubies in his hair were shining, making Tong Yan a few years older.
Only the faint baby fat on her cheeks indicates that she is still a child.
The maids surrounded her contentedly and praised her.
Tong Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed, it's over, she also said that she was going to practice archery, just dressed up like this, how can she practice?
She was so startled that the maids jumped down, and hurriedly surrounded her to ask questions.
After hearing her say that she still wanted to practice archery, she breathed a sigh of relief disapprovingly.
"County Lord, I still have to see Grandpa Guo and the rest of the Cheng family in the morning, and when you are free tomorrow, it will not be too late for you to practice." Qingzhi said as she brought her a red jade earring, and Suzune was holding a pair of jade bracelets under the clear water and putting them on for her.
It took half an hour to dress her up decently from head to toe.
Tong Yan secretly thought, fortunately she didn't practice archery, otherwise there would be not enough time.
Although Cheng Huai was surrounded by small servants, there were also four big girls and several powerful mothers-in-law in the yard.
But these big girls are just a name, they never serve closely, they do some rough girl work, such as at this moment, the round table in the side hall is already full of hot breakfast.
Tong Yan didn't have the time to get to know the people in this courtyard now, she and Cheng Huai were sitting at the table and eating quietly.
To be honest, she was still a little nervous, she was in a mess yesterday, and she kept covering her red hijab, and she hadn't seen the Cheng family carefully.
Compared with Yongwangfu, the people in Guogongfu are much more complicated, and the first Guogongguang gave birth to four sons, and one daughter married to Jinling.
Speaking of which, Cheng Ying, the Duke of Wei, is the second son of the Duke of Xianguo, and he was originally not qualified to be a knight.
——————
It's a pity that the eldest son Cheng Xian died of illness at a young age, leaving only his wife Shen and a daughter Cheng Dan, Cheng Dan is now twenty-four years old and has been married for eight years.
Cheng Ying also has two younger brothers, the third Cheng Fang and the fourth Cheng Lian.
The third daughter-in-law Zhao, the fourth daughter-in-law Fang.
Cheng Huai and Tong Yan finished eating, took a few people to wait, and went to the hall in the courtyard in front.
If it is an ordinary daughter-in-law, she is generally half a step behind her husband, but Tongyan is the county lord of Yipin, and Cheng Huai's current status is not as high as hers, so she is naturally on an equal footing with Cheng Huai.
Cheng Huai didn't notice this, he smiled and took Tong Yan's hand by himself, but Tong Yan dodged without squinting, making him catch a void.
He laughed and whispered, "Don't be nervous later, don't worry so much, although the family hasn't been separated yet, but it's already each room and each has nothing to do, my father will definitely not embarrass you, as for Mrs. Wu, she won't say anything." ”
Mrs. Wu is the continuation of Wei Guogong, sixteen years younger than Wei Guogong, is the eldest daughter of Xingtaifu Siqing, naughty when she was a child, fell from the tree, and had a crescent-shaped scar on her forehead, until she was older, she was still high or low, and it happened that Wei Guogong's original wife had passed away for many years, and some people said peace, but I didn't expect Wei Guogong and Wu to agree, so they got married.
Soon after Wu entered the door, she became pregnant and gave birth to a younger brother to Cheng Huai, named Cheng Yi, who is now only three years old and the fourth.
Tong Yan glanced at him and muttered, "I know, there are so many people, don't do anything about it, let people see the joke." ”
Cheng Huai looked at her ears and said, "Everything is up to Madame." ”
