Love After Marriage: Chapter 1 A Cup of Wine
The crisp autumn day is a day of great joy.
Yao Jingning stood in front of the Yao ancestral ancestral hall, looking at the countless ancestral tablets from afar, and her mood was very delicate.
From then on, she was no longer a member of the Yao family, but a member of the Qiu family.
Her husband is the only brother of the queen mother of the dynasty, the only heir and head of the Xuexi Qiu clan, and is responsible for reviving the family, and is also responsible for strengthening the power of the queen mother and being the firm backing of the queen mother.
A-Niang once warned her that the person she married was extraordinary, and it would be very hard in the future.
My father and brother also carefully told her to teach her husband and children, telling her that her husband and wife are expensive, and that she will lose everything.
She knows that the queen mother is deeply favored and respected by His Majesty, not to mention whether the prince born by the queen mother will be able to inherit the unification in the future, just say that in the past few decades, she has married Qiu Yuan, and it is enough to have the scenery of Qingyang Bofu for a long time.
Qingyang Bofu started with martial arts, and it is only a four-grade title, which is really nothing in Beijing.
And among her brothers in this generation and children and nephews in the next generation, there are no people who can read well, and this family affair is really important to the Yao family.
Although she was bold and reckless, she took the school examination in front of the emperor and queen, checked whether he was a straw bag, planned to compete with him, and verified his riding and archery skills to see if he was a sick and short-lived ghost.
In fact, she has always known in her heart that she will marry him no matter what.
Yao Jingning was a little sad, I heard that he and Lu Huanting had a past, and I didn't know where it went.
originally wanted to get married again after a while, but the eldest princess of the protectorate was critically ill and anxious to see them get married, so she had to hurry up and do a happy event.
But she wasn't ready.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers and music sounded, and someone shouted: "The new aunt is here, hurry up!" ”
It was her eldest sister-in-law, who smiled with a spring breeze: "My sister is overjoyed, hurry up and go forward, don't miss the auspicious time." ”
Yao Jingning grabbed Mrs. Yao's hand in fear and whispered, "Mother, I'm afraid." ”
Mrs. Yao had red eyes and forced a smile: "Any woman has to go through this experience, don't be afraid, my uncle is a gentle person." ”
The eldest brother hurriedly came in and asked her to go out quickly: "Hurry up, hurry up, the queen mother is waiting, and the eldest princess of the protector is also waiting there." ”
Yao Jingning was a little aggrieved, she couldn't be calm about such a major life event as getting married, she was in a hurry, and she couldn't talk to her family more.
Mrs. Yao comforted her: "In a hurry, under special circumstances, the queen mother and the eldest princess of the country treat you well, you are considerate and sensible, and they will compensate you afterwards." ”
She was surrounded by people and walked out, and two large tears rolled out, soaking the wedding dress.
When the eldest sister-in-law saw it, she shouted exaggeratedly, and was busy wiping off the handkerchief for her, and said sternly while mending powder for her: "Don't be ignorant!" ”
The thin and handsome Qiu Yuan stood under the autumn sun, his smile was warm and clean, he stepped forward and saluted her, Sven was quiet, elegant and kind.
Through the hijab, she heard him promise his parents: "...... will be good to Jingning for the rest of his life, not let her be sad, and grow old with her. ”
After arriving at the Autumn Mansion, the queen mother really waited, first worshipping heaven and earth, then worshipping the deceased Qiu Gaotang, and finally worshipping the queen.
The queen mother did not stay for long, and hurried to the mansion of the eldest princess of the country.
When the country was in turmoil, and the eldest princess of the country was critically ill, the banquet was not much, and it was not very lively.
The Qiu clan was sparsely populated, and as soon as the guests left, the entire Qiu Mansion was silent.
Qiu Hao walked in, just as she was dismantling her hair and washing her face, he also sat quietly and waited, and when she finished cleaning up, he said, "Come and sit, are you hungry?" ”
She nodded nervously, watching him hold the pot and pour wine, his fingers were slender, his bones were distinct, and his movements were smooth, which was very beautiful.
The golden cup was filled with wine, and he handed her a glass, and his tone was gentle: "A-Ning, after drinking this cup of wine, you and I will be husband and wife." ”
She blushed, clinked glasses with him, and waited quietly with her arms outstretched.
Her mother once taught her that the whole set of etiquette is to drink together, also known as a glass of wine, where the husband and wife intersect their arms, take a sip, and then drink the rest of each other's cups.
However, after Qiu Hao clinked glasses with her, he did not touch her arms and took a sip of his own.
Yao Jingning was caught off guard and looked at him stunned.
Qiu Yuan was a little surprised: "Why don't you drink it?" ”
Yao Jingning shook her head and took a sip with astringency.
The wine was in her throat, spicy and choking, and she was about to drink it all in one gulp, and a warm and powerful hand gently supported her wrist.
Qiu Hao said gently: "Don't worry. ”
He held her hand, drank the remaining wine in her cup in one gulp, and then fed the little wine left in his cup to her mouth: "You are not good at drinking, so I didn't leave you long." ”
Yao Jingning had never been so close to a young man other than her father and brother, she was so nervous that her teeth were fighting, and she finally mustered up the courage to finish drinking with his hand, and the whole person was so nervous that she couldn't move.
But Qiu Yuan chuckled: "Aren't you usually good at talking?" Why don't you talk now? ”
Yao Jingning nodded stiffly: "Tired." ”
"I'm fine. Just a little worried. Qiu Yuan gave her a cloth dish: "I asked my mother-in-law, I heard that you like to eat fish, this sea bass is just out of the pot, not old and tender, just right, eat it while it is hot." ”
The dishes on the table are obviously not table dishes for happy events, they are delicate and cute, and most of them are what she likes to eat, so it can be seen that he said that he had inquired about her preferences and was not a lie.
"It's delicious, and the cook's craft is very good." Yao Jingning's heart gradually ironed, she carefully observed the dishes on the table, since it was not a set of dishes on the banquet, then in addition to what she liked, the others were what he liked.
"The cook was chosen for us by my sister. She said that she was in a hurry to get married this time, and she wronged you, and hoped to make amends from other places. Qiu Yuan seemed to have something to say.
Yao Jingning's mood was slightly gloomy, he was telling her that the queen was as kind to him as a mountain, and everything in the future should be the queen's priority?
She thought about it, and felt that her family was still counting on the queen to give them glory and wealth, naturally only if the queen was good, everyone could be good, and the queen was the most important, but it was not bad.
She raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Yuan, sincerely: "The queen mother is very considerate, I remember her goodness, and I will really be good to her." ”
Qiu Yuan was a little surprised, and then smiled, as if she wanted to touch her face, but when she was over, she put her hand down and said kindly: "I just want to tell you that Sister wants you to be happy, and I also want you to be happy." ”
Yao Jingning filled him and himself with wine, and wanted to toast to him: "Come, we will be in the same boat through thick and thin in the future, and share blessings and misfortunes." ”
The smile in Qiu Yuan's eyes was even stronger: "As you wish." ”
The two of them didn't have much appetite, so they quickly stopped the chopsticks and let people withdraw, and as soon as they finished washing, someone came to report: "The eldest princess of the country is gone." ”
