Happy Marriage

Today, Xia Yuanwai was very satisfied. After getting up and washing up, he went to the old lady's yard to greet him, and after a few gossips, he started to organize the noon banquet.

The Double Ninth Festival, according to the custom, should be for the whole family to climb high to avoid disasters. But the old lady is very old, and in order to take care of her, she has been going to the long house all these years, the family drank wine and enjoyed chrysanthemums, and it was very happy.

This year, Xia Yuanwai invited all the people from the eldest room to come over. First, it was for the festival, and second, it was to introduce Concubine Rou to everyone. It was a ceremony of taking concubines.

Aunt Rou, he was so proud of himself that he couldn't wait to show off his charm.

He had already prepared chrysanthemum wine, brown eggs, and cornel yesterday. And because Concubine Rou likes chrysanthemums, she even ordered people to leave the house and bought many golden chrysanthemum potted plants to decorate the entire summer house with a reddish-yellow color.

For the family banquet at noon, he was also ingenious and ordered the cooks in the mansion to prepare a feast of chrysanthemums according to the occasion. As the saying goes, "people feel refreshed when they have a happy event" is such a description.

As soon as the carriages and horses in the big room arrived, Xia Yuanwai greeted everyone cheerfully, kowtowed to the old lady, and greeted each other again. After a few words of greetings, he introduced Concubine Rou to everyone in the big room.

Xue's skin was not smiling, but her face was reluctant, and Shen's heart in the big room was overjoyed.

Over the years, the wife in the second-bedroom mansion has been peaceful, and there has been no turbulent waves, which makes her unavoidably angry. Now it's rare to see Mrs Xue shriveled, that disgusting look of eating flies, unable to swallow or spit, makes her gleefully laugh almost from ear to ear.

Shen shi stepped forward, took off the most golden phoenix wearing peony auspicious hairpin on her head, and handed it to Aunt Rou generously: "The person who delivered the letter yesterday was very strict, so I didn't know that I would inform me in advance. As a sister-in-law, you should also prepare a greeting. Now that you come empty-handed, wouldn't it be prudent to call Aunt Rou?"

Concubine Rou smiled tenderly: "You are too polite. In fact, Xi Rou should have come to visit you at the manor, but she feels that her status is humble and a bit abrupt."

Shen shi was full of praise for Xirou up and down: "Aunt Rou knows that she has a good family background and upbringing, and her voice is like that of a yellow warbler out of the valley, so nice. Women south of the Yellow River just want to Be gentle, unlike us women in the north who are all big and three thick, and talk like pouring beans."

Aunt Rou pursed her lips and smiled: "That's because the sisters have a bold temperament, and they don't twist at all."

"Look, Zhang Qiaozui can talk a lot. Now, the second man's house is very lively. Everything in this house is good, but it's a little deserted. Until next year, Aunt Rou will give the second son a big fat boy. , I can be a companion for Brother Huan in the future!"

Aunt Rou couldn't help but blushed.

And Xue Shi stood aside, her nose was almost crooked with anger, and she couldn't have a seizure, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

When Xue Zhao had had enough rest, he opened his eyes, and also came to him.

The big guy didn't want to see him, and even looked down on him, so at most he just smiled perfunctorily, then looked away and ignored it.

Xue Zhao made fun of it, stood by and watched the auntie Rou and Shen sing in harmony, and stretched the corner of Xue's clothes: "You said this woman was brought back by the brother-in-law?"

Xue pouted disdainfully: "What, it's just a girl who can't marry from the master's family."

"You said she grew up in a nunnery?"

Xue nodded: "Listen to your brother-in-law."

Xue Zhao rubbed his chin and looked up and down at Aunt Rou. Aunt Rou happened to look over and met his eyes. She flickered twice, and also looked at him calmly, then turned her face to follow Shen again. 's speak.

Xue shi reached out and pinched him: "What are you looking at?"

"Naturally, it's the smell."

"What's the smell?" Xue Shi snorted coldly: "Is she also attracted by her sultry smell?"

Xue Zhao lowered his head and leaned closer to Xue's ear: "This Aunt Rou is not simple, she is not an ordinary woman from a good family."

Xue Shi couldn't help but startled: "What do you mean by that?"

"Her eyes are specially trained. My brother and I have been in Fengyue Field for so many years, and I can tell at a glance." Xue Zhao said firmly.

Mrs Xue turned her head to look at Concubine Rou's eyes, only to feel as if she was holding a pocket of water, watery, expressive, and enticing.

She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Xue Zhao whispered: "First of all, looking at the man, that look is shy, basically just glanced at it, or floated over, and immediately jumped away in a panic, not daring to stay on the man's face.

This auntie was also a little too bold, not only did she not shy away from looking at me, but she even looked me up and down unscrupulously. How dare a woman who grew up in a nunnery have such courage?

Besides, this normal person's eyes are somewhat scattered, and he can't focus on one thing. Moreover, the eye movements are more or less jerky, not like her eyes are full of autumn water, flowing and agile, and with the smell of ecstasy, it makes people feel that the eyes seem to have hooks, and they are hooked. Hearts are pulled. "

Xue snorted disdainfully: "What he said is straightforward, it seems to be really ordinary. That is the natural and charming appearance."

"No, no!" Xue Zhao said solemnly: "I'll give you an example, you should have heard of the play, have you noticed the look in the actor's eyes when he is looking forward to the transition?"

When Xue thought about it, it seemed like a long time ago. Occasionally, he went to other houses to listen to operas, and often listened to those ladies whispering in whispers. Which actor's eyes caught people's attention, and even what jumped in his eyes was a play.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xue Zhao swallowed and continued: "This actor, the show of one's whole body is in the face, and the show of the face is in the eyes, and it is the eyes that convey the most affection. It is said that when they practice singing, not only This chanting and fighting, even the eyes are deliberately trained.

At the beginning, I practiced this concentration, staring at the black spots the size of lice every day, and slowly seeing them as the size of a grinding disc.

Then stare at the noon sun again, to cultivate the sharpness of the eyes. Then, it is to practice flexibility, and every day the black eyeballs follow the pigeons in the sky.

Until the end, the master takes a cage of sparrows and asks her to count them. When the number is correct, she takes one and marks it on her paws, and lets them fly around the house. After a few hours, if you can recognize where the one is at a glance, you will pass the test. At this time, that look is the real soul-sucking. "

Xue Zhao explained in detail, and Xue scrutinized Aunt Rou suspiciously again: "You mean, Aunt Rou is singing?"

Xue Zhao snorted softly: "Either singing or acting, this seductive ability is definitely not brought from the mother's womb. Sister, you should be careful and look at the way this aunt Rou serves her brother-in-law. Brother is right. wrong."

"Impossible," Mr. Xue denied, "Master said she belongs to the master's mansion."

Xue Zhao snorted softly: "Isn't this something I understand? My brother-in-law is afraid that he will be nostalgic for the place of fireworks outside. The sister who is in the picture is afraid that he will not be able to bring it back home, and it will not be easy for her to gain a foothold when it spreads out, so she just talks nonsense. .

In this way, you must hold her in your palms and treat her as a person. Anyway, no one will take it seriously, so they went to Naxiangfu County to verify. "

Xue Shi couldn't help but "hiss": "If you say it like this, it is not impossible. When I look back, I will secretly ask the long follower beside him to see what this fox spirit is from. If it really came from the fireworks Liu Xiang, not to mention me, even the old lady can't tolerate it."

"Just listen to your brother. You may not be able to see other things with your brother's eyes. It's a good idea to see a woman." Xue Zhao said proudly: "Looking at her waist, you know that there are too many men. already."

While talking, it was already late, so Master Xia invited everyone to the table and tasted the chrysanthemum feast.

The eldest lady turned her face to greet her son and daughter-in-law beamingly, and turned her face: "Hey, where's Sister Zheng? Where did you go?"

The old lady said: "I said it was a little cold just now, so I went back to add clothes. But I've been gone for a long time, so send someone over to urge you."

The eldest lady made an "oh", and before she turned around to give an order, Mrs. Li said, "Let Jiayin go."

Jiayin is the girl in Li's house. She was lifted up by Li's family and made a full house. She has no name and no distinction, but is a messenger girl.

The eldest lady nodded, and Jiayin took the order and went straight to the old lady's yard.

In the old lady's yard, Chang Jing was leaning under the acacia tree in the yard with all her heart and mind, in a daze.

A bunch of pods fell from the tree and fell to the ground, and the shriveled pods were filled with full fruit.

Xue Xiuliang came in from outside the door, and immediately retracted his head when he saw her.

With sharp eyes, Changjing spotted him immediately, and shouted in a deep voice, "Xue Xiuliang, stop for me."

Xue Xiuliang stuck his head out and looked impatient: "What are you doing?"

Changjing walked out in two steps, looked left and right, there was no one around, and she snorted at Xue Xiuliang: "What are you doing here? Come to show her favor to Xia Anzheng again, right?"

Xue Xiuliang didn't want to answer, so he changed the subject: "Can you call Xia Anzheng by his first name? That's your master!"

"Master?" Chang Jing sneered in disdain: "Tian Tian puts on a dignified look and reprimands people with a straight face at every turn. Naturally, I can't forget that she is the master and I am a slave. But young master Biao, you must also be self-aware. Alright, how can you, the idle prodigal son of yours, be able to climb high in Zuo Shaoqing's mansion at Dali Temple?"

"What nonsense is it? Who climbed high?" Xue Xiuliang brushed the sleeves of his clothes: "Besides, you can't control this young master's affairs. Is your master in the house?"

Chang Jing looked back at the room, snorted softly from the end of her nose, and said sourly: "Here, what are you talking about when you're tired, sigh, it's really the body of a young lady, it's just a matter of standing for a while, and a little cool breeze will kill you. Incredible. We deserve to be maids standing and drinking the cool breeze."

Xue Xiuliang ignored her, raised his feet and walked towards the yard, and was grabbed by Chang Jing: "I still have something to say."
