Chapter 20 The Storm of Returning to the Province
The second day is the day when the bride and groom return to the province.
Xue didn't prepare anything, nor did he send someone to the long room in advance to invite guests, and he got up early in the morning with a headache and couldn't get up in bed.
Even the most basic perfunctory is reluctant, it seems that the Xue family is clearly embarrassed to come back safely.
However, although Xia Yuanwai did not rest today, he went over and rushed back early. When I saw the cold pot and cold stove in the kitchen, I didn't even prepare a hot tea in advance, and I was furious.
Xue Shi lay on the bed, pretending to be long and short, and stood up crookedly. Xia Yuan couldn't go out, so he personally ordered him to go down and let the kitchen prepare a family banquet at noon.
Then, he sent someone to the long house and invited a few escorts to come over.
When I left Anran, because the clothes I wore on weekdays in the suitcase were too shabby, I couldn't take them out, so I didn't take them away, and when I returned to the door, I was worried that she would touch the scene again and make trouble after wearing the clothes in Xia Ziwu's dowry, so I deliberately turned away to my maternal uncle Qin Huaiyuan. The first is to put together some gifts to chat and express gratitude, and the second is to choose a new ready-to-wear dress, together with the phoenix crown of that day, and insist on giving the silver money to his uncle, so as not to embarrass him in front of the Qian family.
An Ran wore a peach blossom light pink skirt, lined with rouge on her face, willow eyebrows, delicate as a blooming peach blossom.
And Meng Jinglun was behind her, still dressed in a silver shirt, clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and polite to others.
An Ran's face was full of shyness, a few words of greeting, after worshipping his parents, he turned around and hid in the boudoir, clenched An Sheng's hand excitedly, tears of joy, and asked An Sheng these days, Xue Shi has been difficult for her? What grievances have you suffered?
When Xia Ziwu heard that she had returned to the province safely, she hid in her boudoir crookedly, cursing secretly, and felt quite uncomfortable.
The girl Changjing and her mother-in-law in the courtyard whispered under the window, talking about the good looks of the new aunt, full of envy.
Xia Ziwu gradually became a little moved, and began to wonder what kind of appearance Meng Jinglun looked, which made Changjing unashamedly praised.
She got up haughtily, combed her hair like satin, and thought about going to the front yard to peep at her, if she didn't cast her eyes, she would be completely dead from this thought, and she didn't need to respond anymore.
In the front yard, there was a flower gallery in the living room leading directly to the back house, and she crept in, standing behind the screen and looking ahead.
Who would have thought that this glance hooked Xia Ziwu's soul, making her mind that had been knocked down by the old lady suddenly want to move.
Originally, the matter was already a foregone conclusion, Xue was unwilling to persuade, Xia Yuanwai sighed and admitted it, although Xia Ziwu was extremely angry in her heart, but thinking that she still had a long way to go in the future, maybe it was really like what her mother said, and there were better people waiting for her to choose.
Therefore, after a night, the qi gradually sank, and Xia Ziwu didn't have so much energy for the Meng family.
But she didn't expect that Meng Jinglun would be born so dignified, even if he couldn't be regarded as a fruit car, he was also a leader in Yushu Linfeng, one in a hundred.
Xia Ziwu's heart suddenly hit like a deer, and she began to feel restless.
She looked at it with her eyes blank, her eyes couldn't take her eyes off, the more she liked it, and the more unwilling she became, she secretly gritted her teeth and turned back to her boudoir. A pass through the cabinets, picked out a low-cut smoke skirt embroidered with gold thread peony, looming to reveal the colorful butterfly wearing a flower bandeau, with the same color arm light yarn, called over Changjing to comb the towering cloud bun, red gold flowers, hollow step shaking, carefully depicted eyebrows, earlobes and bright moons, waist tied white jade pendant, good life and carefully dressed.
She was originally glamorous with Xue's nine-point beauty, and she was born with snow-skinned and jade skin, and this makeup was even more glamorous. Supported by Changjing, the fragrance was gusting, and he went straight to the front hall with confidence.
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting, waiting for the banquet, only to hear the ringing tone, and turned their heads when they heard the sound, Xia Ziwu had already arrived, walked up to Meng Jinglun, lightly opened her lips, and said amazingly: "Jinglun, are you here?" ”
Meng Jinglun saw a thousand charming women coming to the wind, smiling at him with affection, but he didn't know the identity of the other party, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stood up: "May I ask this young lady who you are ......?"
Xia Yuan stood up with a sneer: "This is the little girl Ziwu, your third sister." ”
Meng Jinglun immediately understood her identity, lowered her head, and took a deep look: "It turned out to be the third sister, rude and rude." ”
Xia Ziwu covered her lips and smiled, shy and timid: "How can Jinglun be so polite?" ”
The accompanying guests looked at each other, and Meng Jinglun straightened his face: "Men and women are guarded, and there is a difference between intimacy and alienation, and the third sister calls me by my name, it doesn't seem appropriate, right?" ”
Xia Ziwu pretended to be ignorant and blinked: "What's inappropriate?" ”
Meng Jinglun coughed lightly, and said seriously: "My eldest sister An Ran and I are now married, I am your sister-in-law, you and I should treat each other politely, and we must not exceed the distance." ”
He didn't leave much affection for Xia Ziwu at all, but Xia Ziwu didn't care at all, "poof" was a coquettish smile: "Who admits that you are my sister-in-law?" ”
One sentence made everyone dumbfounded, and Xia Yuanwai said: "Ziwu, this is not the place where you should show your head, go back to your boudoir quickly." ”
Xia Ziwu didn't look back, and said confidently: "When Mrs. Meng came to the mansion to see each other, it was me who fell in love at a glance, and I was also the one who discussed the marriage with the three media. It's just that on the day of the wedding, I was not feeling well, and for the sake of everyone's face, my grandmother asked Xia Anran to go to the church on my behalf. Now that her daughter is in good health, her father will not work for her sister. ”
As the so-called stone stirs up a thousand waves, Xia Ziwu's chiseled words made everyone speechless and didn't know how to respond.
Reasoning, you have to talk to reasonable people to be reasonable, otherwise you are playing the harp to the cow. Xia Ziwu's words were clearly nonsense, and she took it for granted.
Meng Jinglun also instantly had a sense of powerlessness that he couldn't explain when he met a soldier: "The one who has had a marriage contract with me since I was a child is An Ran, and she is also the one who worships with me, and she is the wife that I Meng Mouming is marrying." Therefore, these ridiculous words, please ask the third sister to respect herself, and she will not mention it again in the future, which will ruin the affection of our relatives. ”
Xia Yuanwai suddenly felt that his old face was flushed and he had lost face. I didn't expect my daughter to say such bold words in public. Thanks to the fact that all the people present are the sons and nephews in their own houses, otherwise if it spreads, where can I put my old face?
He raised his eyebrows and glared, and said coldly: "I see that your heat has not subsided, you are still a little confused, right?" Changjing, quickly help your young lady to go back to recuperate, and stop walking around. ”
Xia Ziwu twisted her body and said coquettishly: "I'm not leaving, my father takes care of his own face, doesn't he care about his daughter's lifelong events?" If I don't make it clear to Jinglun, I'm afraid that he will still be kept in the dark and seduced by Xia Anran's fox. ”
Meng Jinglun and An Ran are the newlyweds, like glue, and when they heard Xia Ziwu's words, their faces sank: "The third lady insulted the eldest sister like this, disrespected the elder, and was really well educated!" ”
Xia Ziwu felt that with her own appearance, she was many times better than the wooden Xia Anran, and took the initiative to show her goodwill, Meng Jinglun pushed the boat along the water, but she didn't expect to be rejected, and she was coldly ridiculed, and her eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to cry at Meng Jinglun.
Xia Yuanwai was simply angry: "Changjing, what are you still doing in a daze?!" ”
Changjing didn't dare not listen, and stepped forward to drag Xia Ziwu: "Miss, let's go back?" ”
Xia Ziwu shook her hand and threw Changjing aside: "Why should I go?" Is Daddy confused? You know that your daughter is the young lady of the Meng family, and Xia Anran is just a fake, a temporary substitute. ”
Several cousins on the side naturally knew the reason, and they all felt that they had lost face in front of Meng Jinglun, and they looked at each other, and no one persuaded them.
Xia Yuanwai scolded angrily: "Come on, drag the third lady down for me!" ”
Xia Yuanwai was really angry, Changjing hurriedly stepped forward again, dragged Xia Ziwu, and dragged him down.
