Chapter 66: Seeing Each Other (4000)
After Ji Yechen's body recovered, Ji Jingwen, Marquis of Xuanping, also officially submitted a post to General Zhenyuan's mansion, and Su Cheng also took the post, and the two families had their first official meeting.
Early this morning, Su Man was dragged up by the dumplings and sat in front of the mirror for a long, long time. From what kind of bun to which pair of sandals, from which underwear to what kind of accessories, the rice balls were prepared almost from the night before.
Liang Shunniang on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Tangyuan, don't be nervous, Miss is not panicking, why did you panic first." I see that you have never been so nervous about dressing up for the young lady to participate in the palace banquet before, I don't know if you think you are looking at each other today? Hehe! β
"Shun Niang, don't laugh at me, today is my young lady's big day, don't be sloppy, don't be sloppy."
"Tang Yuan'er, Ji Yechen and I are about to become old husbands and wives, you just need to hold it upside down, it's not like you haven't seen it before."
Su Man snorted directly at Tang Yuan, and then slumped on the dresser without a look, "Trapped me!" β
"Miss, you will have to meet your future in-laws later, pay attention to your manners, you can't talk nonsense casually, you know?" Tang Yuan looked at Su Man, who was so unconcerned, and was a little anxious.
"Got it, got it!"
Su Man's drooping eyes glanced at Shunniang on the opposite side blankly, and showed a helpless expression after cursing his mouth. Liang Shunniang hid her face and smiled, feeling very relieved, maybe this young lady's fate can change after today. After all, no matter how you look at it, this Ji Shizi is a thousand times better than that Pei Yu.
After two full hours, Su Man raised his eyes and looked at the bronze mirror, and was so shocked that he shuddered, who is this fairy beauty in the mirror?
The charming eye makeup is not frivolous, the playful bun is not dignified, and a smile can capture people's souls. Su Man was fascinated by herself in the mirror, and she turned to give Tang Yuan a thumbs up
"Awesome, Miss Tang, you're just amazing!"
It's just that after giving Tang Yuan a thumbs up, I immediately wanted to give her a bad review, what kind of clothes did I have on my body, cumbersome to wear, and the heavy lining was like layers of shrouds! Wrapped around her body, making it difficult for her to walk, she can only lift her buttocks and tighten her abdomen, and walk in a slender step, which is quite a "self-vΓ©re" appearance of everyone's ladies.
Su Man walked slowly from her room to the main hall, it was the first time she felt that the two places were so far apart. I walked extremely hard, as if I had climbed a mountain, why did I have such an anti-human dress, it was heavy and tiring and not good-looking.
Su Man took a deep breath and was about to step on the steps of the main hall, when she saw the back of Su Bei, who was a little lonely in the shadows, out of the corner of her eye, she immediately turned sideways and slowly walked behind the other party
"Eleven no, are you here?"
Hearing this, Su Bei looked back at Su Man, at this moment she was like a goddess under the nine heavens, and she was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it at all. Especially when the other party smiled at him, Su Bei felt that his heart was beating uncontrollably, and he couldn't even control the admiration in his eyes.
It's just that such a dazzling woman like the sun is going to see people today, and it's just a formality. Su Bei knew that Su Man liked that person very much, and that person also liked Su Man. He is just a shadow around the sun, and without this light, his world will soon enter eternal night.
He immediately looked back and didn't raise his eyes again, his hand clenching tightly into the book in his hand as best he could hide his heart.
I felt that the other party's eyes looking at me just now were very different from the eyes in the past, and there was an indescribable emotion, like a drowning person waiting for him to save him.
Su Man raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward and said, "Eleven, are you uncomfortable?" β
"No, it's just that I read in the light for a long time, and my eyes hurt a little."
"Oh, don't read directly in the sun in the future, it's better to find a shelter, reading in strong light is not good for your eyes."
Su Man stepped forward and took out a folding fan from the shelf on Su Bei's wheelchair, brushed the floor and opened it, blocking the fan above his eyes
"You can block the light like this with a folding fan, and it will be better for your eyes and books to read in the shadow of the folding fan. But after a long time, your hands will get tired. β
Thinking that Su Bei's hands couldn't be too hard, Su Man's eyes moved, and he said, "No, next time, I'll ask Chun Niang to help you see if you can add a mechanism that can store parasols in your wheelchair." That way, if you want to read a book while you're out in the sun, you can sit and open your parasol. β
"Well, it's actually better to change the parasol directly to the oil-paper umbrella, which can provide shade from the sun and the rain. Is it convenient to press at which end? β
Looking at Su Man on the other end, holding the handle of the folding fan against her chin and looking down at Su Bei's wheelchair, she muttered to herself, she always had all kinds of small ideas in her head. Those bright eyes seem to have magical power to suck people's souls away. Seeing the other party squatting on his side so close and studying the structure of the wheelchair, he could smell the oil fragrance of camellia hair wafting from the other party's hair so closely.
Su Bei knew that he had to leave at this moment, otherwise he would not be able to hide some emotions. But thinking that the other party would get married soon, he wanted to be greedy with her for a few more moments, only hoping that time could be frozen at this moment.
"Eleven, do you like to lean on the left or to the right when you read books in the past?"
Su Man suddenly raised his eyes to look at Su Bei, and happened to meet the other party's unretracted affectionate eyes, only she was reflected in those dark eyes, and the infinite tenderness was like a spring water to surround Su Man. The love in this look was definitely no less than when Ji Yechen looked at her in the past, Su Man was slightly stunned.
"Eleventh ......"
"I was in the sun for too long just now, and my eyes haven't slowed down." Su Bei immediately rubbed his eyes with his hands, pretending to exclaim, "Take a closer look, Miss, today's dress is not the same as before, so I almost saw you in a trance just now, which lady is the best girl." β
Seeing Su Bei's appearance as always, Su Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she got up and put the folding fan back into the shelf of Su Bei's wheelchair, as if dejected, "I thought you had just been lost by my immortal posture today, Eleven, is your vision too high." β
"Miss!"
Su Bei clenched his fists, adjusted his mood, and teased in the tone he used to have with Su Man, "I knew you when you were five years old. β
"Yes, you don't have to say it!" Su Man immediately stopped the other party's teasing, just wanted to say that he had seen all her ugliness, and it was impossible to be tempted by her. Hmph, this boy must have never heard of a childhood sweetheart, and he fell in love for a long time.
"Let me ask you, did you read to the left or to the right?"
"It's pretty much the same!"
"Oh!"
Su Man touched his chin with his hand and thought there, and when he wanted to get closer to the research wheelchair again, he was stopped by Su Bei
"Miss, today is also your big day, the guests have arrived, you shouldn't waste time here." Su Bei also followed Su Man's example, touched his chin and thought, "Or are you actually afraid of seeing Xuanping Hou and his wife, and you want to find an excuse to delay entering the main hall here?" As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually see her in-laws, and besides, you are not ugly, Miss. β
β......β
Su Bei is really a human spirit in the general's mansion, she pretended to be so good and was discovered by the other party, Su Man pouted a little boredly and said, "Do I care about you, at this moment, I regard you as more important than my future husband's family, are you moved?" β
"Touched and moved!" Su Bei smiled sullenly, and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow approaching not far away, and he reluctantly said, "It's just that if your future husband knows what you think at the moment, then it should be misunderstood." β
"What's the misunderstanding, you are my kung fu instructor, my family, he hasn't skimmed the eight characters yet, what's wrong with taking you seriously?" Su Man was still talking nonsense. It's just that as soon as she said this, she felt a chill behind her, and she immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva with an ominous premonition.
"Miss Su, I think there can be a glimpse of these eight characters today, and I hope you can put your husband first in everything!"
β......β
Su Man looked annoyed, and compared his fist hatefully to the "gloating" Su Bei. Then she adjusted her expression and looked back at Ji Yechen with a just right toothy smile, the perfect smile that she had practiced in the mirror many times in the room.
"Ah Chen, why did you come out?"
At this moment, Su Man really smiled and was very captivating, Ji Yechen originally thought that his daughter-in-law was beautiful, but he didn't know that it could be so beautiful. is so beautiful that he doesn't want to delay for a moment, he wants to marry the other party home and appreciate it slowly, instead of staying in her general's mansion to be remembered.
"I don't come out, and someone doesn't know when they're going to go in."
After that, Ji Yechen did not hesitate to directly take Su Man's hand and pull the person towards the main hall like a parent looking for a lost child.
"Slow down, slow down, the skirt that Tangyuan chose for me wraps my feet, I can't go fast!"
Hearing this, Ji Yechen slowed down slightly, he looked back at Su Man, and his eyes were full of love. It's just that the corner of his eye intersects with Northern Jiangsu over there, revealing a typical fierce look of a hungry wolf protecting food.
Su Bei had to sneer, but no matter how reluctant he was, he could only watch Su Man and Ji Yechen leave in the direction of the main hall. Seeing the other party get farther and farther away from him, until he disappeared at the turn of the road.
In the main hall, I saw Xuanping Hou dancing with long sleeves and good dancing to introduce various amusement and health places in the capital to Su Cheng. Although he is not good at martial arts, he knows very well which places are suitable for sword training and where they are suitable for riding and hunting.
"Brother Su, let me tell you, although the one at the north gate has the largest hunting ground in the capital, in fact, the mountain forest hunting on the other side of the West Mountain is more interesting. In early spring, Brother Su, you will take your sister-in-law and wife to Xishan to have fun. You can not only soak in the mountain forest hot springs, but also eat your own game, which is a unique taste. β
"Brother Ji is really a good place to know the capital."
"I recommend ...... again to you"
When he caught a glimpse of Ji Yechen and Su Man coming in together from outside, Xuanping Hou stopped and looked at the infatuated son who shook his head slightly and raised his eyebrows, his stupid son was completely fallen. How can anyone go to the people's house to see each other, not waiting for the girl's house to come over, but looking for it by himself. How afraid is this girl running away?
It's just that Xuan Pinghou showed a smile after seeing Su Man beside Ji Yechen, the little fat man who amazed everyone with a watery song at the palace banquet many years ago is now like a butterfly that has broken through the cocoon, and he is beautiful and moving, just like the past.
Xiao Nizi is not very old, but she has a different style in her gestures. Thinking about it, it is difficult for a young man of Ji Yechen's age to resist such temptation, and it is understandable that he lost his soul.
"This is Xiaoman, the eighteenth change of the female university, the cute little girl at the palace banquet is now more and more gorgeous."
"Xiaoman, come over and see Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji."
Princess Jinxiu beckoned to her daughter, and Su Man saluted Xuanpinghou and his wife very regularly, and the form and etiquette were very decent, like a famous lady. Without years of training, the temperament and demeanor will definitely not be possible.
Even Ji Yechen on the side was surprised by Su Man's elegant and dignified appearance, what does this little fox look like, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
After the banquet, Xuanping Hou Ji Jingwen and Su Cheng were very happy, and they would chant two lines of poetry from time to time. It's just that it is not difficult to see that Su Cheng does not like Ji Jingwen, in the end, the military generals always have some natural dislikes for the kind of Hou Mansion clan who are weak and show off their literary talents.
Compared with Sioux City, Princess Jinxiu praised Ji Jingwen's literary talents, and the two also discussed the new poetry genre in the capital together, which was quite a bosom friend. And Mrs. Frost is a strong woman who is both civil and military, but she doesn't like to talk much, and she always smiles shallowly during the banquet, which will not make people feel too cold.
