The two entered the room. Yuan Xi noticed that Zhen Mi was obviously breathing more quickly, so he took her hand and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, there are no bad people here."
Zhen Mi couldn't help but chuckle. She thought that the young master looked like a bad guy.
The two of them knelt opposite each other on the mat beside the table, male to the west and female to the east. They meant that the yin and yang met gradually, which was called facing each other.
On the table, there was already a rather simple-looking double-eared bronze gui, which contained steaming meat. The two of them picked up a piece of meat with their chopsticks and put it into their mouths, which is called sharing the prison.
The two picked up the scissors on the table, each cut off a lock of hair and tied it together to show that they were of the same mind, which is called a knot.
In the end, the two of them each picked up the 卺 gourd from the table, each filled it with wine, handed it to the other, and then led it down, which was called combining the 卺.
Finally the two hands joined together again.
Zhen Mi's body seemed to be a little limp and she said softly: "Are you ready?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "There is still one last step left."
Zhen Mi raised her head in surprise, "In such a hurry?"
"Don't you want to wait until night?"
Yuan Xi laughed, "I'm talking about changing your title."
"What do you call me now?"
Zhen Mi's face became hot and she whispered softly: "Husband, you are well, husband."
Yuan Xi felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, "Madam is well."
In this life, she will not be allowed to stay in Yecheng again.
Now that there is no more parental control, there is no need for the bride to fulfill her filial duty before her parents-in-law. She can take Zhen Mi wherever she wants.
Zhen Mi raised her head slightly and said, "Husband, is it time to go out and thank the guests?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it later."
Zhen Mi nodded and felt herself being held in Yuan Xi's arms. She felt that her neck was starting to feel hot. She struggled slightly for a few times and then leaned into Yuan Xi's arms.
The two of them sat quietly, enjoying the rare peace. Zhen Mi didn't know what to do. She felt her nose was sore and she felt like she was about to cry.
Yuan Xi sighed: "I've really wronged you."
"But don't worry, this is only temporary."
Zhen Mi shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I am very happy."
"I just feel that even if the Zhen family has some money, their family background is not worthy of my husband."
"Did you marry a concubine with a lot of copper odor in it, which would embarrass your husband?"
Yuan Xi thought to himself that you don’t understand the joy of eating soft rice.
He said aloud: "Madam, you are overthinking. How can there be a marriage that is not mixed with anything?"
"It is precisely because of these copper odors that we can have some free time to think about things other than copper odors."
"You know, most people can't even get through the smell of copper when they get married."
Zhen Mi opened her eyes wide: "I can't see these things in the book."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I will take you around the world in the future, and you will naturally see it."
"Life is the largest and most complete book."
Zhen Mi listened and nodded in understanding.
She couldn't help but think of her mother, and another burst of sadness came over her. She quickly concealed her expression, raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, which resulted in wiping off some of the makeup around her eyebrows.
She reacted immediately and saw the marks on her sleeves. She made a sound and said anxiously: "You will be laughed at when you go out later."
Yuan Xi saw it and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll paint it."
He took the dressing box, picked up the Shidai eyebrow pencil, and drew Zhen Mi's eyebrows again.
He used the thrush to carefully examine Zhen Mi's appearance. Zhen Mi was shy and closed her eyes.
Looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp is even better. Zhen Mi is naturally beautiful and fragrant, but under the cover of the lamp, her appearance becomes even more breathtaking.
Yuan Xi drew her eyebrows, then picked up the powder and added a little red to Zhen Mi's white cheeks.
Rouge, also known as Yanzhi and Yanzhi, was introduced by Zhang Qian when he was on his mission to the Western Regions.
Historical records record that Zhang Qian passed through Longxi, where there is Yanzhi Mountain, which is rich in red and blue flowers of a wild plant. He later picked it and brought it back, from which the rouge was extracted.
The Xiongnu attached great importance to Yanzhi Mountain. On that day, the powerful Han horses trampled Yanzhi, causing millions of Xiongnu to wail over it.
After Yuan Xi finished painting, Zhen Mi looked at the bronze mirror and was quite surprised: "My husband can also draw eyebrows?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I occasionally help others draw."
Zhen Mi rolled her eyes with a sly look on her face, "Is it sister Wu Zhao or sister Cao Xian?"
Yuan Xi sweated profusely: "It's Wu Zhao."
He thought for a while: "We are of the same mind as husband and wife, and I won't hide it from you. I am ready to let her return to her original name."
Zhen Mi smiled and said: "I have already noticed that her identity is not simple. She must be a woman from a wealthy scholar family. What is her original name?"
Yuan Xi said: "Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Zhonglang."
Zhen Mi suddenly widened her eyes after hearing this.
After a while, she came back to her senses, "Didn't she marry into the Hedong Wei family?"
Yuan Xi explained the cause and effect, and finally said: "If she hadn't saved me that day, maybe I would have been beaten to death by someone. It can be considered a destiny."
"Later, that guy Yuan Shang plotted against me and drugged your sister and me. That's when you came to pick up your sister that day."
"After Zhen Rong left, she helped me sober up, and we got together by accident."
Only then did Zhen Mi realize that the fourth sister had really been drugged that day.
A cunning light flashed in her eyes, "Did nothing really happen between you and Fourth Sister?"
Yuan Xi almost choked and said hurriedly: "What else can happen?"
Zhen Mi opened her eyes wide and said, "Even if it's a matter of husband and wife, if two people lie together, they can have a baby."
Yuan Xi said aloud: "Is this what the book says?"
Zhen Mi's pretty face blushed slightly, "Why it's written in the book is all my guess."
Yuan Xi thought to himself, "No, haven't your mother or sister told you?"
He smiled and said: "It's okay, life is a very good teacher. You will understand everything after tonight."
Zhen Mi heard something special and opened her big, confused eyes with a confused look on her face.
The two of them were talking, and a long time passed without realizing it, until Cao Xian knocked on the door outside the house and said, "Sir, madam, the banquet outside is almost over."
Yuan Xi knew it was time for the couple to see off their guests, so he pulled Zhen Mi up and said, "Let's go."
The couple walked out together, and from the inner room to the outer hall, the doors opened one after another. The two of them crossed several thresholds and stood in front of a crowd of guests.
There were exclamations everywhere. When several young scholars who were drinking saw Zhen Mi's stunning appearance, they fell into a trance for a moment and poured the wine on their chests.
An idea came to everyone's mind at the same time.
After tonight, the reputation of Yuan's bride will probably spread throughout Jizhou.
The eyes of the young scholars looking at Yuan Xi were filled with intense jealousy.
Yuan Xi looked at it with a calm expression, but his heart was filled with joy.
Jealousy?
I love seeing your expressions like this!
Otherwise, why would we invite you here?
This is exactly the same as the expressions on the construction site in the previous life when the workers learned that they had won the jackpot.
Yuan Xi's face suddenly stiffened, and he suddenly remembered that when he went to the construction site to apply for resignation the next day, he was hit to death by a dump truck.
Hey, people can’t get carried away and keep a low profile!
Thinking of this, he put on a modest smile and started chatting with everyone.
Little did he know that in the eyes of everyone, his hypocritical smile looked even more hateful.
The couple greeted everyone in turn. It was getting late and the banquet was almost over. The guests said congratulations and stood up to leave one after another.
The two stood at the door of the mansion and sent everyone away.
Yuan Xi looked at the people saying goodbye to him one by one, and thought that whether it was for the sake of the Yuan family or his own, most of the families in Yecheng had sent people here.
Needless to say, his subordinates, Guo Jia, Zhao Yuntai, Shi Ci, all arrived.
Among the Yuan family, Yuan Tan arrived in person. Although Yuan Shang did not deal with him, he also sent people over. However, Yuan Xing could not be present because she was a woman.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi sighed. After the adoption, the opportunities to meet Yuan Xing became much less. From then on, he could only visit in the name of Zhen Mi.
As for the other factions of the Yuan family, almost none of Yuan Shang's advisers and generals came, but Tian Feng Jushou came. It was obviously a broken pot.
Yuan Xi thought to himself that at this wedding, he could almost see his position clearly.
As he saw off the last guest, his heart suddenly felt relaxed, but he was also slightly disappointed.
The person I most wanted to see still didn’t come.
Also, after he adopted him, he had nothing to do with him, so how could he come.
During the previous worship service, someone should have been sitting where Yuan Ji's tablet was placed.
He stood quietly in the night, and Zhen Mi also stood quietly with Yuan Xi.
After a while, Yuan Xi came back to his senses. He felt the cold night breeze and said to Zhen Mi, "Don't catch the cold. Go back."
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage came slowly from far away on the long street and stopped in front of the mansion gate.
Sun Li, who had been standing outside, suddenly became nervous and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.
The carriage driver took out a box from the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and handed it to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi saw four words written on the lid of the box, "Qin and Se are in the Royal Palace".
There is a saying in the Book of Songs: It is better to drink wine and grow old together with your son. With the harp and harp at your disposal, it is best to be quiet.
Yuan Xi recognized the handwriting and bowed deeply to the carriage with mixed emotions.
When Zhen Mi saw it, she didn't know why and quickly bowed her head and saluted.
There was a sigh from inside the carriage. The driver jumped on the carriage and raised his whip. After a while, the carriage disappeared at the end of the long street.
Yuan Xi straightened up and sighed.
Zhen Mi was curious and said, "Who is in the car?"
Yuan Xi whispered: "My former father."
He held the box, and for the first time since his rebirth, he felt that the bond between father and son was so complicated that even after so many things happened, it was not completely broken.
The two walked back hand in hand, and Sun Li followed behind with a sly look, trying to take the opportunity to hide under the window of the bridal chamber, but Tai Shici strode over, picked up Sun Li and left.
Zhen Mi walked into the house and saw Wu Zhao and Cao Xian still standing at the door, so she said, "Thank you two, go back and rest early today."
Then Cao Xian, who looked regretful, was pulled away by Wu Zhao.
Seeing that everyone who wanted to cause trouble had left, Yuan Xi finally relaxed. When Zhen Mi entered the room, he closed the door and said, "No one will bother us this time."
Zhen Mi suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "Are you going to sleep?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "There is one last thing."
He stood up and blew out all the candles in the room.
Phoenix bun with gold mud belt, dragon pattern jade palm comb. The desire to express the taste has not yet subsided, and the love of Tao Thrush is deep and shallow.
I have been using my pen to lean against people for a long time, and I am just beginning to try my hand at describing flowers. Begonia sleeps in the place of red plum blossoms in spring, how can it be tolerated by the gentle weeping of the man?
The words are stitched together, please don’t make any connections.
