"Get up the sedan!"
The matchmaker's call fell to the ground, the sedan chair was lifted, followed closely by Shili Hongzhuang, heading towards the Yongcheng Marquis' Mansion.
Song Huixin was sitting in the sedan chair, not daring to put down the hand holding the fan. She lowered her eyes and looked at her bright red wedding dress, her heart beating very fast.
Xie Li smiled gracefully and thanked the people on both sides who were congratulating him. The horse under him was also tied with red flowers, which looked very festive.
The welcoming team was huge and marched straight towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Not long after, the sedan chair landed steadily, and the sound of blue falling came from outside.
"Miss, we're here." Bi Luo was at the sedan chair first, her voice choked with sobs.
Song Huixin hummed softly and was about to get up when he saw a hand stretched out from outside the sedan. The hand had fair skin, clear joints, and not even a thin callus on the palm.
Song Huixin recognized the owner of this hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and raised his hand to cover it.
Xie Li led her out of the sedan, his eyes fell on the round fan, and he whispered, "Since you have married me, I will earn face for you in the future. If anyone makes you unhappy, just fight him back. Don't worry about others." of."
Song Huixin knew in her heart that this was Xie Li's promise to her. Although she was silent, she held Xie Li's hand but secretly exerted strength.
The two of them joined hands and walked towards the mansion.
The palace was very lively, and everyone who was close to Fang Xu was absent. The masters in the palace had trouble traveling, so they sent Lin Sheng to send many congratulatory gifts.
The Ninth Princess also came to the door carrying the gifts prepared by Concubine Xiao. Her eyes followed Xie Li all the way, and she pursed her pink lips in dissatisfaction, "Damn Song Huixin, Xie Li should have been my husband!"
"Okay, don't worry about my brother anymore." Xie Wanzhou couldn't help laughing, and whispered, "You come to congratulate them, because you like them from the bottom of your heart. Since you have a kind heart, why do you say evil words?"
Yuan Mi curled his lips, hummed softly, but did not speak again.
Above, Fang Xu is sitting in a dignified posture, wearing a long emerald-colored dress and a gold hairpin on his head. He looks elegant and majestic.
Shen Ji stood in the crowd, glanced at Song Huixin's wedding clothes, and then looked at Fang Xu with an inexplicable expression.
"Today, the ceremony has just begun. The two houses are happy together, and the marriage will last forever. I hope that the two of them will respect each other as guests, complement each other, and become husband and wife. There is no doubt about their love. This is proof!"
After the matchmaker finished her oath, she looked at Fang Xu with a smile and said flatteringly, "Is there anything you would like to give me, madam?"
Fang Xu's expression changed slightly and he glanced sideways at Su Zi.
Su Zi understood, walked up to Song Huixin holding the wooden box, and said with a smile, "Second Young Madam, this is the jade bracelet and... family order that Madam specially prepared for you."
After the words fell, the hall was silent for a moment, everyone had different expressions and murmured softly.
"Family order? Is it the family order I thought about?"
"Mrs. Yongcheng's intention...is to let the second young master succeed to the throne?"
"Isn't this nonsense? The one above died and he didn't leave a son. Naturally, this position belongs to Xie Er."
Taking everyone's expressions into consideration, Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "Xie Li is a child that the Marquis has high hopes for. Officialdom is not easy. He has too much time to take care of himself. There is always someone to help him in the backyard."
"Huixin is smart and courageous. She is my daughter-in-law. Your sister-in-law and I feel at ease when the family order is in your hands."
Song Huixin lowered his eyes and focused on the family order beside him, feeling that it weighed a thousand pounds.
Xie Li's family believed in her, and she would not let them down.
Song Huixin bowed slightly and said in a slower tone, "I'm lucky to have Madam's trust."
"You can't call me Madam anymore." The matchmaker smiled and joked, "When you enter the Marquis's house, you are the Marquis' daughter-in-law. If you call her Madam in such a lively manner, won't it chill Madam Hou's heart?"
Song Huixin's face turned red, she held the handle of the fan and said softly, "Thank you, mother."
"That's right!" The matchmaker said loudly with a smile on her face, "It's done, let's send the bride into the house!"
Bi Luo supported Song Huixin and followed Su Zi to the backyard.
Xie Li was surrounded by a group of people, including many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government, who invited him to drink.
Xie Li had a gentle face, but his eyes occasionally glanced in the direction Song Huixin was leaving.
"Thank you, sir. We all know that you miss your bride, but today is a big wedding and you have to accompany the guests!"
After Xie Li heard this, his thoughts returned to his original position, he raised his lips and smiled, holding the wine cup in his right hand, and whispered, "Of course, you won't come back unless you are drunk."
There was a lot of excitement around Xie Li, but Shen Ji didn't come forward and just drank tea and ate food by himself.
"It's so busy outside, why are you here alone?"
Fang Xu's voice came from one side. Shen Ji's hand holding the tea cup paused in the air, and then he smiled and said, "Madam is here too, how can I be alone?"
Fang Xu sat down on the table beside him and said softly, "I saw you when I came back after entertaining the female guests. Why don't you have a wedding drink with Xie Li?"
"There are many people around Xie Li. Even if one person only has one drink, it will be enough for him to drink several bottles. Why should I bother him again?" Shen Ji's eyebrows were slightly curved, and he looked at Fang Xu with an indescribable look. Unknown, "And...I'm not good at drinking."
Fang Xu paused and murmured, "No wonder you've been drinking tea these few times I've seen you."
Shen Ji found it funny, his eyes moved and fell on her face.
"Has the matter that I asked you to investigate before been found out?" Fang Xu came closer and asked in a low voice.
The fragrance hit the tip of his nose. Shen Ji frowned and said warmly, "Every time Madam talks to me, she seems to be asking about business matters."
Fang Xu was puzzled, "What else would you ask?"
Shen Ji picked up the teapot, filled it with tea, and said with a smile in his voice, "Madam, why don't you ask Shen's birthday and how many people are in the family..."
Fang Xu couldn't figure it out anymore. He frowned and whispered, "Why do I ask this? I'm not trying to poison you."
Shen Ji was speechless for a moment and looked at her blankly. After a long while, he sighed resignedly and talked about official matters, "I have sent people to investigate what Madam informed me about, and War King Yu Shi dug up something." , I will compile it into a volume tomorrow and send it to Madam."
"There's no rush." Fang Xu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Help me keep an eye on them. It's impossible for no one to take over these pieces of fat meat. Whoever eats the meat in his mouth will be the murderer of Yu Chiwei. !”
Shen Ji looked helpless and nodded slightly, with a flash of regret in his eyes, "I will listen to Madam."
"There's one more thing." Fang Xu raised his eyes, looked at him quietly, and said softly, "There will be a painting boat on Qinxin Lake tomorrow. Are you free to accompany me?"
Hearing this, Shen Ji tightened his grip on the teacup and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Madam...are you inviting me to visit Qinxin Lake with you?"
Fang Xu nodded with a calm expression, "Yes, I found out that Yu Chiwei often held banquets on the boat during his lifetime, and Wang Yong was always on the invitation list. There must be something fishy about that boat!"
Listening to her words, the light in Shen Ji's eyes gradually dimmed, and he whispered, "I understand..."
It got so violent that I thought I had a sudden awakening.
