Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cave House
Xiao Dou's words seemed to be joking, but they were very heart-wrenching.
Giving birth to a precious child within a year, that is, it must be a few months before the news of pregnancy comes out - who can say for sure this kind of thing?
Even if she is pregnant, what if it is a daughter?
She did this obviously to add to Qiu Yulan's blockage: I will talk to you about the heir before the round house, if it is really a sixteen bride here, can you not be afraid?
"You want to give me a ride?" Qiu Yulan snorted coldly in her heart, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, revealing a soft and timid smile: "How dare I dare to be this sister-in-law's words?" Whether I am still nineteen or young, how can he let God set up rain for us? β
"Then you mean that the fourteenth brother and sister are talking nonsense?" Xiao Dou's eyes flashed, and he looked at He Shuijin with a smile, "These words will hurt the heart of your fourteenth sister-in-law, and it will also hurt the heart of the second uncle......
I knew you would say that!
The smile on the corner of Qiu Yulan's mouth deepened, and he said slowly: "I haven't finished talking yet: don't you think that the rain today is God's blessing on the Jiang family, and I and Nineteen are just touching the blessings of the family?" β
"That's what the nineteenth brother and sister said!" He Shui Jin didn't expect that he had just rounded up for Mrs. Tao before, and the big house actually dragged her out to provoke her when she was in such a troubled room-I didn't want to think that there were not only the Jiang family's daughters in the flower hall, but also a lot of in-laws, although they could all be counted as their own people, but so many relatives, how could there not be a few big mouths?
On the big day of the Jiang family's young grandson, the nephew and daughter-in-law openly swept the face of the queen's mother...... Even if it's not the time for the reserve, wouldn't it sound good to spread it?!
Not to mention that He Shuijin has a special status among the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, and he took charge of the general ledger of Qin Guogong without passing the door, although he will not despise other concubines because of this, but he really has no sense of awe for Xiao Dou's sister-in-law! This meeting was not obvious, and he was already furious in his heart, and when he saw the opportunity, he immediately took over the conversation, "It is not the bloodline of the Jiang family to spread the branches and leaves, in the final analysis, it is the blessing of our Jiang family!" For example, sister-in-law, after you passed the door, you gave birth to Xu'er in the first year, isn't it the blessing of your ancestors? β
Qiu Yulan squinted at Xiao Dou's family, thinking that it was no wonder that she came up to give birth to a general with a child over the years, and she herself gave birth to a son as soon as she passed the door - because she didn't know Xiao Dou's family, she only entered the door today, so it was inconvenient to behave aggressively, and it was okay to turn away from Xiao Dou's spearhead with words.
But He Shuijin has no scruples: "But sister-in-law, in addition to Xu'er, you also gave birth to two daughters." Now the eldest brother's Zhi'er, Hao'er, and Yi'er are all not born to your sister-in-law, can it be said that the blessings of those concubines are deeper than that of your sister-in-law? It shows that the matter of the heir has nothing to do with our own blessings as daughters-in-law, it is all the luck of the Jiang family! β
She looked at Xiao Dou's gloomy face in an instant, and smiled brightly, "Right? β
"We patronized and joked, and we forgot to introduce people to the nineteenth brothers and sisters." Seeing that the atmosphere in the cave room stiffened suddenly, Xiao Tao sighed in his heart, and hurriedly came out of the round and said, "The nineteenth brother and sister call the sister-in-law or 'this sister-in-law'!" Come, let me tell my younger siblings about the concubines, sisters, and nieces here......"
There are not many daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, after all, although the female guests have Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Ou taking the lead, and the third lady and the sixth lady are also there, there are always a few young daughters-in-law who run errands and spread the word.
Xiao Tao introduced the elders and young people present, in addition to Sheng Shushui, Qiu Yulan had an impression before that the eleventh young lady Xiao Zhuang, Zhuang Man's own sister.
As for the sisters-in-law, Jiang Qizheng was naturally there, frowning and looking at Xiao Dou with a displeased expression.
Several other Qiu Yulan were all in person for the first time, and after being mentioned by Xiao Tao, their attitudes were close and different. To Qiu Yulan's surprise, she always thought that there were four children in the fourth room, three concubines and one concubine - as a result, there was also a concubine of the ninth lady Jiang Qilai - and this ninth lady was gorgeously dressed and graceful, standing with Jiang Qizheng, she didn't look like a concubine at all, especially not like a concubine in the fourth room!
"It's really strange that Nineteen never mentioned his Nine Sister to me?" Qiu Yulan muttered in her heart, "According to what Shui Jin said, my mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhuang, is so jealous, even if they are far away, Jiang Yazhu, an unlucky child, is not less tormented by her...... This Miss Nine doesn't look like she was being suppressed, is it because she is a girl? β
Xiao Tao tried his best to introduce a circle of people in witty words, and finally eased the atmosphere. At this time, Mrs. Tao also received the news of Xiao Dou's trouble, and quickly sent someone over: "The two old ladies said that there are a lot of guests who have come to congratulate the nineteenth prince and the nineteenth young lady today, and the ladies and young ladies over there are too busy, please go and help!" β
He also said, "The two old ladies were sympathetic to the aunts and wives, and specially instructed the kitchen to make the dishes that the aunts and wives loved to eat, and invited Miss Sun to accompany the aunts and wives to the table!" β
Xiao Dou frowned, as the eldest daughter-in-law of her grandchildren, she would definitely go out to help if the guests couldn't greet her. But what she said to Shui Jin just now made her very angry, and she was unwilling to leave like this, so she glanced at her daughter, Miss Jiang Huizhi.
Jiang Huizhi was already in time, so he naturally understood what his mother meant, so he said crisply: "If they are all gone, won't they leave Aunt Nineteen here?" β
"It's all gone so that your Aunt Nineteen can take a breath!" He Shuijin said lightly, "Didn't I see that your nineteenth aunt was sweating from the flower crown on her forehead?" We're here, she can't even freshen up if she wants to! β
After speaking, she had already taken Jiang Qizheng's arm and walked out, "Let's go, let's see the bride here, the mother and the second sister-in-law outside don't know what they have become busy!" Now even my grandfather and my little uncle have sent people to urge, and if we go late, we may be disgusted and lazy! β
As soon as she left, most of the people followed her and leftβseeing that Xiao Dou's face was still not good-looking, the eleventh young lady Xiao Zhuang walked up to her and said in a low voice: "Today is the big day of the nineteenth, why not make a fuss?" Zhi'er is also so old, and she is about to talk about others, in case the nineteen brothers and sisters hold a grudge......"
ββ¦β¦ Let's go! Xiao Dou's chest was tight, and he bit his lip and said.
After everyone left, Qiu Yulan found that this cave room was very spacious, and it was no wonder that even the master and dozens of servants were gathered outside the tent just now, but it was not very crowded.
She looked at the furnishings from all sides, and with Jiang Yashuang's status in the Jiang family, the courtyard allocated to him to marry was of course carved beams and painted buildings, and it was very gorgeous.
"I just don't know what's going on in the yard?" Qiu Yulan was covered with a hijab when she came in just now, and she walked by pulling the red silk, and she didn't know where she had passed, but at this moment she saw that everyone was gone, and only the maid who accompanied her was there, so she stood up and wanted to go to the window to open a picture and see where she would live in the future - but when she got up, she was nervously asked by the maids what she was going to do?
Knowing that she just wanted to see the courtyard, Su He and the others couldn't help laughing: "The courtyard is decorated, and it is very exquisite." But now it's late, and you can't see clearly even with the lights on, and you can see the same tomorrow morning. It's better to sit and wait for Childe to come over! β
couldn't resist them, Qiu Yulan had to put on heavy clothes and sit obediently on the couch and wait...... Just when she was about to fall asleep, Jiang Yashuang could be regarded as coming back - before she entered the door, a strong smell of alcohol rushed in!
"I was stared at all the time, so the starling splashed me with wine, and I pretended to be drunk before I got out!" When he came in, he closed the door with his backhand and explained in a low voice, "I'll go take a shower and change clothes...... When you're tired, replace the corolla first, and no one will come over today. β
Qiu Yulan let out a long breath, waited for him to go to the bath room, and hurriedly said: "Quickly remove this costume for me!" I'm going to have my neck broken! β
"I'm not going to say such things today!" Chun Ran and Xia Ran stopped her in unison, took off her makeup, took off her crown, and changed into regular clothes, "Go out and get some water, and you will also bathe behind the screen?" Otherwise, if you go to the bath room after the boy washes, I'm afraid it's too late! β
Qiu Yulan rubbed her sore neck, shoulders and arms, and nodded busily!
The two of them washed almost at the same time, Qiu Yulan tied the belly pocket belt with the help of Su He, and was looking at the robe as thin as a cicada's wings, the door was pushed open, and the river cliff frost with wide sleeves and long black hair floated in!
"Go down." Seeing that under the big red wedding tent, the autumn swaying muscles on the couch were like fragrant snow, the black hair was like a waterfall, and the cheeks that had been steamed by hot water were white and red, as bright as begonias, his pupils shrank slightly, and he commanded softly.
Su He and the others responded in unison, stuffed the tulle robe into Qiu Yulan's hand, and slipped out of the door.
There were only newlyweds left in the room, although they had long been accustomed to being alone, but when they really went to the cave room to spend candle nights, the two felt a sense of unreal trance.
After a moment of confusion, Jiang Yashuang coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Are you hungry?" β
ββ¦β¦ I ate some pastries before taking a shower. Qiu Yulan pursed her lips and hugged her robe with some sneer. At this moment, she instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are you nervous?" Jiang Yashuang rarely heard her speak so quietly, and a smile flashed in her eyes, she walked into the tent, put the golden hook in her hand, and reached out to take the robe in her hand, "It's not like we haven't been alone in the past...... I'll put you on a hanger! β
Qiu Yulan wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the right words for a while, and subconsciously grabbed her robe: "Wait! β
Jiang Yashuang was stunned: "What's wrong?" β
"I ......" Qiu Yulan racked her brains to think about the topic, "When the eighth sister-in-law introduced me to someone just now, she mentioned that the ninth sister is also in our room, why haven't I heard you say it?" β
"My ninth sister got married when I was a child, and I haven't seen each other much, so I'm not too familiar with it." Jiang Yashuang explained, "And we didn't mention her when we talked about it before, so we didn't specifically talk about it." β
Qiu Yulan said: "Oh, so that's the case? I see that she is graceful, I don't know what her husband's family is? β
"The ninth brother-in-law serves in the household department, but the father-in-law of the ninth brother-in-law is the secretary of the military department, and he is the top boss of our third uncle." Jiang Yashuang pulled two more robes, and when she saw that she was hugging her tightly, she was a little ridiculous, "It's going to be settled, what are you still doing with the robe?" β
"I feel a little cold......" Seeing that he didn't want to talk about Jiang Qiji, Qiu Yulan said stiffly, "I'd better put it on...... By the way, your ninth sister is a few years older than you, does she have a child? As he spoke, he shook off his robe and planned to put it onβand then he saw Jiang Yashuang stunned, and the light smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened, and in the end, he couldn't help it, and laughed out loud: "Usually so fierce, now you know that you are afraid?" β
Qiu Yulan's hand, which was only halfway draped, stiffened, and said with a nonchalant face: "You think too much, I just ...... Well, I just want to know the specific situation of your family, so as not to say anything that shouldn't be said when Ming'er serves tea, right? β
Jiang Yashuang laughed and fell: "Ming'er is from her own family, I am the youngest grandson, and my sisters are all married, how can I be?" β
"......" Qiu Yulan was silent for a while, and said decisively, "The little girl who wore a pink embroidered butterfly and a floral skirt just now is very cute, it seems to be your eldest niece?" How old is she? Have you ever had a Xu family? What do you usually like......"
"So you're going to ask the people you just met one by one, and ask them to go directly to the tea ceremony at dawn?" Jiang Yashuang reached out and gently scratched her cheeks, touched her collarbone, and said with a smile, "What day is tonight?" Do you think I'm in the mood to introduce you to your family? β
Qiu Yulan's cheeks turned bright, and he forced himself to calm down: "I just think we should talk first......
"Say as much as you want during the day!" Jiang Yashuang grabbed her with a smile and wanted to push her hands away, "And you've been delaying a lot of work just now......
"Hmm!" Qiu Yulan was unwilling to delay the meeting any longer, but Jiang Yashuang had already lowered her head and kissed her hungrily...... A moment later, the weak Qiu Yulan was pressed into the red quilt behind him......
The sound of feasting and music from time to time and the rustling rain outside the window lattice make the cave room more tranquil and quiet.
On the long case carved with gold, a pair of wedding candles burned quietly, reflecting the outline of the entanglement of the neck in the red tent......
