Chapter 196: Uninvited Guest
After helping her get dressed, Yan Kaizhi called Chuhe and them to come in and comb Shaohua's hair, and watched them make a few neat movements, then curled up her smooth green silk and fixed it with a hairpin. Yan Kaizhi stood beside him, quietly admiring her delicate eyebrows and eyes becoming more bright and shining under Youhan's skillful hands, watching Youhan pile the jewelry on her head one by one, Yan Kaizhi couldn't help frowning: "Do you need so much, will it be too heavy?" β
Youhan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master Hou, this is not much, I heard that the ladies in the palace have to bring eighteen pieces when they are sealed, or even more." β
When Shaohua heard this, his neck shrank, and he almost caused Youhan to miss it, which frightened Youhan into a panic. Yan Kaizhi stretched out his hand to take the hairpin, pressed her shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, when the time comes, it won't be heavy if someone carries you to walk." β
"I'm not going to the palace, what's there to worry about." Shaohua comforted himself.
Yan Kaizhi chuckled and didn't tell her that sooner or later she would have to enter the palace to ask for peace, even if Hongyi didn't give face, he would inevitably have to ask for a life for her. trembling slightly, he helped Shaohua insert the last white jade phoenix hairpin, helped her waist, and hugged her out.
Along the way, the maids and maids all respectfully stepped aside, and greeted them one after another. Listening to them shouting "Master Hou, Mrs.", Shaohua's heart was as sweet as eating honey, and this feeling seemed to be a dream. I still remember that not long ago, she was still waiting for news from the palace and relatives in the Li family worriedly, and a holy decree brought him to her. Listening to his confession, Shaohua could hardly believe his ears, and the shyness and excitement kneaded into a dense joy, spreading from his heart to every inch of skin on his body.
Those big red sedan chairs, those congratulations and delight, those goodbye sorrows, everything was thrown out of her mind with an incredible sense of happiness. For this moment, she fought hard and endured shyness and listened carefully to the Ling family's secrets of the couple's sexual behavior, let the grandmothers and maids wash her from head to toe as if she were pulling her skin, and then smeared and wrapped her layer by layer, so that she couldn't recognize herself in the mirror. Holding the red line, following Xi Po, she didn't cry when she went to kowtow to Li Xunzhuo and his wife, and when Ling ran out crying after her back, she only had a slight palpitation in her heart, only after three bows, he picked up her red head and whispered to her: "Since then we will no longer be separated." β
She bowed her head in shame, but tears ran down her cheeks and wet the back of her hands, and finally she became his wife as she wished.
Because Shaohua refused to let him go, Yan Kaizhi had no choice but to take her hand, slowed down, carefully supported her, and whispered to her: "I will give A-Niang a tea later, I will take you to meet the people in the family, although you have seen most of them, but your identity is different, this family will be in charge of you in the future, and you can discuss everything with A-Niang." β
"Hmm." Remembering what he said last night, Shaohua nodded embarrassedly.
Two unfamiliar faces walked in front of him, all of which were given to him by the emperor when he ordered the renovation of the Xinyonghou Mansion. Yan Kaizhi sighed lightly, "There weren't so many people in the family before, most of them followed their parents around from the past, and those elders watched me and Laneige grow up." Therefore, if you can't move, you can go to A-Niang, she will definitely stand on your side. If Laneige is here, I'm afraid I won't have any place at home. β
Hearing that his tone suddenly became low, Shaohua held him with his backhand and said softly: "There must be a way to get Lanzhi back, let's raise her for a lifetime." β
Yan Kaizhi was a little surprised, but also a little moved, looking at her sincere gaze, a smile appeared: "I don't know what way you can let everyone around me speak for you." β
"Because they all know that I really like you." Shaohua, who had regained her vitality, even spoke briskly, and she blinked her bright eyes and looked at him firmly. "Even if all the ladies in Beijing revolve around you, there is absolutely no one who likes you more than me."
was confessed like this by a lady, Yan Kaizhi said that it would be a lie if he was not moved. But he wanted to say something, but it seemed that something was blocking his throat, looking at her sparkling eyes, he finally chuckled: "It's good to let me meet you." β
Shaohua felt a little disappointed by his words, but still cheered up and replied: "Don't worry, no matter where you go, I will let you meet me." "Didn't she come here all her life to meet him?
Yan Kaizhi was amused by her words, "Why do you say it as if you are looking for me on purpose." β
"I'm here to find you!" Shaohua was in a hurry, and almost said that he had missed something, so he quickly changed direction, "God destined you to be mine." β
Yan Kaizhi was already speechless with laughter in his heart, so he could only shake his head: "What a stupid girl." If he doesn't hold it tightly enough this time and let her miss it from his side, will it be another Xin Zimo when he wakes up. Thinking that Yu Ning had told him that a certain red-clothed stunning color dazzled on the pale city wall in the northwest, and finally dimmed with the years, his heart tightened, as if there was a pain in the place.
Fortunately, Shaohua's words pulled his thoughts back in time. "Why do you talk upside down, and you praised me for being smart yesterday!"
Looking at this face that was completely different from Xin Zimo's, Yan Kaizhi waved away the hesitation in his heart, bent down to her ear and grinded, "I am praising you for being smart in that aspect, and you can make a lot of progress in the future." β
"Yan Kaizhi, you're enough!" Shaohua's delicate roar made Yan Kaizhi laugh happily, and the hand holding her tighter.
Youhan Chuhe, who was following behind, watched the newlyweds flirting and scolding all the way, and couldn't help but sigh, "The relationship between Master Hou and Mrs. Hou is really good." Then they looked at each other silently, each blushing and chuckling.
Since being promoted to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Yan simply put aside the big and small matters in the family, saying that she was waiting for the future hostess to deal with it, and she lived a quiet life by herself, just waiting to hold her grandson. Therefore, early in the morning, I heard the maid report that Yan Kaizhi's house had hardly been quiet all night last night, and it was not until it was almost dawn that the people outside heard their sound of sleep. Those women all covered their mouths, smiled so much that their eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and they all congratulated Mrs. Yan, saying that they had taken such a daughter-in-law, and the day when she would tease her grandson was not far off.
Knowing that her son and daughter-in-law worked so hard, Mrs. Yan didn't let people urge her. Until Shaohua took a twisted little step and cautiously came over to give her tea, the corners of her mouth never fell.
"Auntie, please drink tea." Shaohua took the tea and held it up in front of Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan took the teacup, took a sip, sealed a pair of red envelopes for her, and when she was asked to get up, Yan Kaizhi had already walked over quickly and helped her up, causing her to blush for a while. The people next to him couldn't help but bend their eyebrows, and they were coldly looked at by Yan Kai, and they had to hold back their pleasure.
The first time she saw her son protecting a lady like this, Mrs. Yan was happy, but she felt helpless about his fussy behavior. "Come, give me your hand." Mrs. Yan withdrew the bracelet she had been saving for a long time from her wrist and wanted to bring it to Shaohua.
Shaohua had already received the red envelope, but he didn't expect there to be a gift, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Auntie, this is no use." As he spoke, he looked back at Yan Kaizhi for help, but saw that he shrugged his shoulders and was unwilling to help.
Mrs. Yan smiled and put the bracelet on her wrist, "Silly boy, look at what he does, this is given to his daughter-in-law by his mother-in-law, and he can't wear it." Shaohua was relieved by Mrs. Yan's words, so he had to thank Mrs. Yan for her kindness, "My stupid boy is finally willing to marry a daughter-in-law back, all of this is your credit." β
"Auntie, I didn't do anything." Looking at the extra pair of treasure-inlaid exquisite gold chuan in his hand, Shaohua sighed in his heart, this marriage is really valuable. Not to mention the dowries of the two pairs of parents, although the old man Ling was a little resentful of marrying without telling her, he also let Bo Yan bring a full four carts of dowry, as if he was afraid that she would marry and starve and be poor. The emperor saw that her dowry was so rich, and naturally he couldn't let Yan Kaizhi lose face, if it weren't for the fact that Rouwan had not yet married and was strictly ordered by the Queen Mother to stop, I was afraid that the emperor would have to move out half of the treasury to put on a faΓ§ade for Yan Kaizhi.
No wonder some people say that among the four gentlemen in Beijing, the most luxurious is not the prince Hongfang, but the Xingyong Marquis Yan Kaizhi. Who would have thought that Yan Kaizhi, the most inconspicuous of the four at the beginning, would end up in such a beautiful situation.
Mrs. Yan had heard about Shaohua's deeds for a long time, and often took them out to tease her son, "I have long heard Laneige say that you met on the street that day, and then you threw him to the ground." β
Shaohua was shocked, "Ah Niang, that was a misunderstanding, it wasn't like this at the time." Standing aside, Mama Rong, who heard Shaohua's glorious deeds for the first time, had a frosty face and was as silent as a wooden man.
Mrs. Yan stopped her hand and continued to smile: "Eh, you didn't listen to me, I just want to tell, well done!" If he doesn't open his mind, I will escort him to the door to propose marriage, and I will be responsible for you. β
This time it was Yan Kaizhi's turn to listen to it anymore, "Auntie! β
In the face of her son's protest, Mrs. Yan obviously didn't care, although Laneige was not there, but there was an extra daughter-in-law Shaohua in her camp. And judging from the situation just now, this daughter-in-law is still quite capable, she raised her eyebrows in the face of Yan Kaizhi's protest, "What, are you still not satisfied with marrying a daughter-in-law for you?" I don't want to think about how this daughter-in-law can marry back, for you, I can almost turn my face with the Queen Mother. β
When Shaohua heard this, it turned out that she could marry Yan Kaizhi, but there were such twists and turns behind her back, and she almost caused Mrs. Yan and the Queen Mother to fall out, so frightened that she hurriedly said to Mrs. Yan: "Auntie, I will definitely honor you well in the future." β
Accustomed to carrying it with her son, she didn't expect Shaohua, who didn't know it, to take it seriously, Mrs. Yan covered her mouth and snickered happily: "Poof, okay." β
Yan Kaizhi couldn't see his mother's deliberate ridicule, and saw that Shaohua was confused by laughter, and reached out to pull Shaohua into his arms, attracting a deeper smile from Mrs. Yan. Yan Kaizhi was hesitating whether to take Shaohua back directly, just after she finished the tea, when she got up, she obviously pulled the sore spot, and almost flashed her steps, so he hurriedly went over to help her.
At this time, a small servant guarding the door hurriedly ran in to report: "Master Hou, Mrs., Mrs. Tai, someone at the door asked to see him, saying that it was Lord Hou's aunt and cousin." β
One sentence immediately calmed down the current pleasant atmosphere, Mrs. Yan lowered her eyes, the smile suddenly disappeared, and Yan Kaizhi also showed a cold face. Shaohua was a little confused, quietly looked at their expressions, and only heard Yan Kaizhi ask, "Ah Niang, let me take a look." β
Seeing Yan Kaizhi turn around, Mrs. Yan immediately called out to him, "This time you get married, you can't avoid it." You take Wu Niang back first, and let me meet them. β
Yan Kaizhi hesitated, nodded, looked at Shaohua, and said gently, "Wu Niang, let's go back to the room first." β
"But, aren't there relatives coming?" Shaohua was puzzled by their attitude and asked curiously.
I saw Yan Kaizhi's expression cold, "I don't have this kind of relatives in my family, go back first, and I'll tell you slowly." β
