"Ms. sir, it's time to get up~!"
The next morning, it was still bright.
Han Yuxi opened her eyes and felt the weight on her naked body, knowing that those were her lover's arms and legs. She had recovered from her injury last night. As a newlywed, the two of them couldn't help but be passionate. Thinking of the utter nonsense and hearty love last night, Han Yuxi couldn't help but her ears turned red. His body felt weak and he didn't even want to move a finger.
But thinking that she would go to Ning with her husband for a wedding today, she couldn't help but push herself up and ask Li Zexuan to get up. Otherwise, it would be too shameful for Xiao He and Xiao Xi to wake up later. Little did she know that the two little maids sleeping in the outer room I'm still asleep right now! Last night, the two of them were also disturbed by the sounds inside, and they didn't fall asleep until late at night.
"Hmm~! It's still early~! Let's sleep a little longer~! Even the emperor hasn't gotten up at this point~!"
Li Zexuan squinted his eyes, glanced out the window, and found that the sun had not come out yet. He couldn't help but muttered, and tightened the hand holding his wife in his arms, then closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep again.
"Ms. sir~~!"
Seeing Li Zexuan's lazy look, Han Yuxi was filled with embarrassment and couldn't help but push his arm and said anxiously: "Ms. sir, we have to return to Ning today. If we don't get up early, we won't be able to catch up! Didn't we agree last night? ?"
"Ah? Oh~! Guining! Then I'll get up!"
Li Zexuan vaguely remembered that this was indeed the case, and quickly pushed himself up and climbed up. Suddenly, he looked at the beauty on the bed, and said with a mean smile, "Hmm~! How does the lady look? So energetic? No wonder others say there are only cows that spoil the plowing, and there is no soil that spoils the land!"
"Ah~! You are seeking death!"
The gentle and virtuous Han Yuxi couldn't stand such hateful words. Hearing the words, he immediately came over and twisted the soft flesh of Li Zexuan's waist and said angrily.
Who said she wasn't tired? She was exhausted last night. If she hadn't thought about going back to Ning for a wedding today, she would have stayed in bed, but she didn't expect that her husband-in-law would tease her like this.
"Ouch~! Madam, let go~! Ouch, my old waist~!"
Li Zexuan suddenly bared his teeth and screamed strangely.
……………………
After breakfast, the couple embarked on the road to Guining together with their gifts and their former matchmaker Song.
Guining, also known as being a guest, returning to a maternal home, or returning home after three dynasties, has a very early origin. There are relevant records in the "Book of Songs". It generally refers to the newlyweds going to the bride's house with gifts on the third day of their marriage to visit relatives and visit. The woman's family must also prepare a banquet at this time (usually at noon, called the Guining Banquet or inviting the son-in-law). After the Guining is over, the matchmaker's work comes to an end, and the man must give gifts to the matchmaker to express his gratitude.
Therefore, Matchmaker Song got up early and rushed to Li's house today because the previous "account" had not been settled yet!
Compared with other newlyweds, Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi's return to Ning today was a little more complicated. Their first stop was to go to the Qin Mansion. This was what their elders had told them yesterday afternoon.
After all, Qin Qiong and Mrs. Qin both regard Han Yuxi as their biological daughter, and helped a lot in this wedding, and also provided a lot of support for the Li family and the Han family. If the Qin family can be regarded as half of Han Yuxi's natal family, then It's really not too much at all. On the contrary, it would be a bit too much if they didn't go there today.
The reason why I chose to go to the Qin Mansion first had no other meaning. The main reason was that the Qin Mansion was close to the Li family. After I went there, I could go to the Han family for the Guining Banquet!
Li Zexuan had sent someone to Qin Mansion to deliver a letter before, so when he arrived at the door, he saw Qin Huaiyu waiting there early.
"Haha~! Brother Huaiyu~!"
Li Zexuan took his wife out of the carriage and quickly came to Qin Huaiyu. He laughed and said hello. He had not forgotten the friendship between his four "good brothers" who helped him stop the wine on the wedding night!
"Hey~! Xiaoxuan, you left me and Chumo and the others and ran away alone that day. What you did was not very kind~!"
Qin Huaiyu punched Li Zexuan in the chest with some "vindictiveness" and joked.
"Haha~! I was so drunk that night, didn't I come to visit you today?"
Li Zexuan shamelessly talked nonsense.
"I've met my adopted brother!"
Han Yuxi stepped forward and saluted Qin Huaiyu.
"Haha~! You don't have to be polite, my adopted sister! Come in quickly! My father and mother are waiting!"
Qin Huaiyu originally wanted to scold Li Zexuan, but since Han Yuxi came over to greet him, he could not continue scolding him, so he could only lead the couple in front of him into the house.
As expected, Qin Qiong and Mrs. Qin were sitting in the hall waiting for them. Qin Qiong was wearing a thin black shirt and his face was flushed. Li Zexuan could feel the heat on his body from a distance. He must have just finished his morning exercise!
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Qin Qiong was so old and he still hadn't put down his martial arts. And he hadn't gotten up early to practice martial arts for a long time. After he had a daughter-in-law, he couldn't bear to leave his gentle hometown in the morning! Yesterday when he was recalling the three-dimensional model of a modern university building, he still felt that he lacked mental strength!
It seems like we should start practicing martial arts from tomorrow on!
Li Zexuan encouraged himself secretly in his heart.
"Meet the adoptive father! Meet the adoptive mother!"
Han Yuxi didn't have so many complicated thoughts. She followed Li Zexuan to Qin Qiong and Mrs. Qin, and bowed down Yingying.
"Hey~! Hey~! Good girl, wake up~!"
Mrs. Qin's face seemed to have bloomed like a flower. She quickly stepped forward and pulled Han Yuxi to sit next to her. She looked carefully up and down. Seeing Han Yuxi's rosy face and energetic expression, she couldn't help but smile:
"Yu Xi, how are you doing at the Li family~? Xiaoxuan didn't bully you, right~! If he really bullies you, tell your mother that your adoptive father and I will never let him go!"
"Yeah~! That's right~! The Qin Mansion is your natal family, Yu Xi, if you suffered any grievance from Xiaoxuan, just tell your adoptive father!"
Qin Qiong stroked his beard and smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes~! My sworn sister, if Xiaoxuan bullies you, I won't let him off lightly as a brother~!"
It was a rare opportunity to "pretend" in front of Li Zexuan, Qin Huaiyu also chimed in.
Li Zexuan was speechless. What was originally a good wedding event for Guining Province turned into a criticism meeting specifically targeting him?
"Thank you so much for your foster father and mother's concern. My husband treats me very well and doesn't bully me~!"
Seeing Li Zexuan's embarrassed look, Han Yuxi quickly explained with a smile, "Ahem, even though Li Zexuan just "bullied" her last night, such boudoir secrets obviously cannot be disclosed to outsiders!
