The banquet has been set up for a long time, and most of the dishes are cold, but no one has lifted the chopsticks.
Everyone sat quietly around the table, motionless, and if it weren't for the big red wedding words on the wall, it is estimated that no one would associate such a number of solemn guests with the joy of the wedding.
And all this is because the bride has not yet taken a seat, early this morning, she was carried into Cheng's house by a sedan chair from the side door, and after saluting Cheng Dexuan and Cheng Qiuchi's main room Liu Ziqian with a cold face, she went to her own room accompanied by the maid, until the guests were seated, and did not come out.
And Cheng Qiuchi also went to the bride's room half an hour ago, and he hasn't shown his face yet.
Seeing that Cheng Dexuan's face was getting darker and darker, Cheng Muyou hurriedly stood up, "Father, brother, they may have been delayed by something, otherwise, I'll go in and take a look." ” Cheng Dexuan didn't speak, only nodded at him, and Cheng Muyou left the table and walked out of the front hall towards the backyard.
All the way to the newly arranged wedding room, he vaguely heard a cry coming from inside, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to approach the door or avoid it first. was hesitating, Cheng Qiuchi's voice came from the room, "Yushan, I know you have been wronged, but the concubine can't wear red when she enters the door, this is the rule set by the ancestors, you can't come to us, just abandon it." ” The woman let out a crying voice, her voice was crisp and tender, and Cheng Muyou's goosebumps surfaced when she heard it, "I'm not an unreasonable person, when I just entered the mansion, I didn't wear red clothes according to what you said, but now that I'm going to see the guests, I can't change my clothes?"
This dress was sewn by my mother before she died, just to let her daughter marry beautifully, she is a concubine, she has never worn a wedding dress in her life, so she prepared one for me in advance, and now she is gone, but I can't even achieve her wish?
” "But today is the first day you enter the door, you are going to break the rules and disobey your father's orders, I'm afraid I'm afraid that everyone won't get along well in the future" Cheng Qiuchi's voice was full of embarrassment.
"On the first day, he made me subordinate to him, and after that day, he didn't really call me as a person, will I still have a foothold in this Cheng Mansion in the future?"
The woman's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, but then softened again, and she began to cry out.
"Alas" After a long time, there was a long sigh in the house, Cheng Muyou felt a chill in his heart, knowing that his brother had been thinking about it for a long time, he still had to compromise, as he expected, it didn't take long for the door to be pushed open, Cheng Qiuchi pulled Li Yushan, who was dressed in red, and walked out with Li Yushan, who was dressed in red, he saw Cheng Muyou, was slightly stunned, and walked around him to the front hall without saying a word.
Everything that happened next was as Cheng Muyou expected, from the beginning to the end of the banquet, Cheng Dexuan didn't say a word, and his sister-in-law Liu Ziqian, who has always been cautious and silent, retired first on the grounds of physical discomfort in the middle of eating.
Of course, the most embarrassing thing is those relatives and friends, who are trembling when they eat the whole meal, take and put the chopsticks away, swallow the words when they come to their mouths, and feel that they are not decent enough.
So, one by one, they hurriedly filled up their half-filled, and said goodbye one after another.
But there are not no proud people, of course, it is his new sister-in-law Li Yushan, who has just passed the door, she sits at the table, with a smile on her face, and from time to time she picks up vegetables for the father and son, as if everything in front of her has nothing to do with her.
Xun'er finally had enough fun, and when he got out from under the table, he found that the guests were almost gone, and only his grandfather, uncle, and father sat at the main table, and the bride in red.
He put his chin on the table, carefully looked at a few people, and suddenly laughed out loud: the four people in front of him had different expressions, Cheng Dexuan didn't say a word, Cheng Qiuchi trembled, Li Yushan was full of spring breeze, only Cheng Muyou was normal, eating slowly.
Jiang Xixi, who was standing on the side and waiting, leaned into his ear and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
” Xun'er couldn't hold back a smile, "Sorry sister, do you know what it means to have your own thoughts?"
Just look at your grandfather and uncle, and they'll understand. ” As soon as he finished speaking, he ushered in Cheng Muyou's white eyes, so Xun'er stuck out her tongue and shrank under the table again.
The night was already deep, and the starlight was exceptionally bright, and a layer of silver was plated on Cheng Muyou's robe, who was lying on the bamboo bed on his side.
Jiang Xixi walked over lightly, looked at him quietly for a while, and gently covered him with the thin quilt in his hand, not thinking that the quilt had just fallen, but Cheng Muyou opened his eyes and smiled softly at her, "I didn't fall asleep, I just closed my eyes and recuperated." ” Jiang Xixi stood aside, "Adults are still worried about the affairs of the eldest brother?"
” Cheng Muyou sat up from the bamboo bed, "Don't say it's useless to worry, even if you want to worry, it can't be my turn to be a younger brother, I still think about Liaoyang." ” "Liaoyang?"
"Don't you think it's strange?
Yan Niang not only sent her right ear over, but in the end, she also personally went to Liaoyang to assist us in breaking the enemy, as if she knew that Liaoyang City was extremely dangerous early on. ” Jiang Xixi's eyes widened, "My lord, when you say this, I remembered that before leaving, we met Miss Yan, she heard that we were going to Liaoyang, and her expression was a little wrong at that time, could it be that she also knew about the Yin Bing Groove?"
” Cheng Muyou stared at the starry sky, "It's been thirty years since this happened, if you hadn't personally participated in that battle, how could you know the inside story so clearly?"
” Jiang Xixi smiled, "My lord, you are confused, Miss Yan is slightly older than me, thirty years ago, she was not born yet, I think she has traveled all over the world, and it is not unusual to hear people talk about it." ” She said so lightly, obviously she didn't understand the deep meaning of her words, and Cheng Muyou didn't want to hurt her innocence, so she had to smile faintly, "Yes, it's me who thinks too much, but it's late at night now, why don't you stop, we have to go early tomorrow morning." ” Jiang Xixi hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "My lord, my lord, he asked me to pack up the clothes and supplies left by my wife, and take them all out and burn them." ” Cheng Muyou was taken aback, "Why?"
” "He said that Mrs. is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for the Cheng family, so so" Cheng Muyou was stunned for a moment, and then sighed again, "When Xun'er was just sensible, he always asked where his mother went?"
Why did everyone else have their mother with them, but he didn't, and he cried all night and didn't sleep for this reason, pity, do you remember, what did you do at that time?
” Jiang Xi cherished tears in her eyelashes, "I took out my wife's clothes and hugged Xun'er before I could sleep peacefully." ”
