White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 96 She's Not That Stupid
"Ma'am, the eldest son is out to entertain guests, and he came back to have a drink with his wife after the banquet. Remember to keep your current sitting position, don't move at will, don't eat or drink, if anything happens, order the slaves to be .You sit here, but you and the son are a blessing!"

After entering the new house, as soon as Pei You left, Xi Niang, who was the leader, whispered in Wen Ning's ear.

Wen Ning knew that this was called sitting in a tent.

When she married Shen Jin in her previous life, she respected all the customs and said that she should sit down properly to reap the blessings of her and Shen Jin. She insisted on sitting for more than an hour with a heavy phoenix crown on her head. When Shen Jin came back She hadn't moved a finger before.

There are probably two or three times more guests in the Duke's Mansion today than at the wedding in his previous life, and Pei You can't come back within two hours.

She's not that stupid.

Wen Ning coughed lightly, and Linglan, who was standing next to her, immediately understood.

The girl told her specifically before that there are many rules and gossips in this Duke's mansion, but Pei Shizi's Qinghui Hall does not have a maid in charge. She followed her in, and she was the big maid inside. To take out the coercion.

"Our wife likes to be quiet, and the day is too hot, with so many people in the house, I'm afraid my wife will be out of breath later, so go out with me and wait outside."

Linglan took a step forward, raised her chin, and said in a slightly cold tone.

All the maids and nurses in the room looked at each other, before the exchange of eyes was finished, Linglan had already taken a step ahead.

They didn't have a backbone at all, some of them were ready to move, and some of them looked at Xi Niang who was the leader.

After all, the bride is not a servant of the Duke's Mansion. Thinking of the cold glance of Pei Shizi in front of the sedan chair before, and thinking of the bridegroom who had just entered the new house, the groom should have pulled the bride, but Pei Shizi was pulling her. People don't let go of their hands...

Presumably Pei Shizi is not so particular about rules, and this lady, although her background is not very good, I am afraid that she will be favored.

She didn't pay too much attention, and followed Linglan's pace first.

After Xi Niang left, the other maids and mothers no longer hesitated and filed out.

As soon as the room was quiet, Wen Ning immediately took off her hijab and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

What Linglan said just now was true, even though there was an ice mirror in the room, but on such a hot day, she was wearing a phoenix crown and a robe, and surrounded by so many people, she really couldn't breathe.

After wiping off her sweat, she shook off her hijab and poured a cup of herbal tea at the tea table.

What's the point of sitting in a tent and sitting in a blessing? In her previous life, she sat so honestly. Shen Jin went to war without even drinking with him. In the end, he only came back with a jar of ashes.

After drinking several cups of tea, Wen Ning went to the window to wash her hands again.

Pei You was deliberately against her!

When he shook her hand after the church service, she subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but he didn't.She should have pulled her into the bridal chamber, but after struggling a few times, he wouldn't let go, but instead held her tighter, and finally led her directly to the bridal chamber.

Many people were laughing along the way, and her hands were still burning.

After washing the hand held by him several times, Wen Ning wiped off the water stains and looked up at the new house.

She is no stranger to this bedroom.

When she married Pei You in her previous life, his mansion had not yet been built, so she married into the Duke's Mansion and lived in his Qinghui Hall for several months.

The new house is still the one in her previous life, Pei You's master bedroom.

Compared with the timeline of the previous life, there are still several years to go.But this place has not changed much from before, except that the layout of the new house is slightly different.

Wen Ning glanced briefly, then looked away.

In her previous life, when she married Shen Jin, she followed the rules, did not eat or drink all day, and kept the tents upright; when she married Pei You later, she fought against him, and she wanted to go on a hunger strike for three days.

Now that I think about it, it was stupid every time.

She sat back on the couch, took off the heavy phoenix crown, leaned on the quilt that was piled up on the bed, let out a sigh of relief, and then...

Take out the snack bag and story book in the sleeve.

If I hadn't been worried that I would get rid of this private thing just now, I wouldn't have been coquettish when I grabbed Pei You's hand, like a spoiled child.

cough……

It's two hours.

Let her eat and drink first, and rest.
-
The guests in the Duke's Mansion were indeed as Wen Ning expected, not a little bit more than when the Shen family got married. In the court hall, big or small, almost all the officials have one or two people here.

Including the Shen family who was engaged to the Wen family.

Liang's mood is very complicated.

She clearly looked down on the Wen family and Wen Ning's.

A good-for-nothing minister of the Honglu Temple, two worthless sons in the family, and no one to rely on in the capital, what kind of good family is he?

Even if Wen Ning didn't take the initiative to speak up, she would definitely call off that marriage.

But the person she despises actually climbed into the Duke's mansion!
The girl she despises is actually married to the promising heir of the Duke's Mansion, and she is still his wife!
This made her feel unspeakably awkward.

Instinctively want to laugh at others for picking up the leftovers from her house and not wanting them, but I know in my heart, what is the lintel of the Duke's Mansion?How powerful is the eldest princess?Six yuan and first, Pei Shizi, who was promoted to the third rank in one year after entering the official position, is he so easy to fool?

Could it be that she was blind and missed the treasure?

Then thinking about Shen Jin's recent family letters repeatedly mentioning Wen's family, asking about Wen Ning's situation, and even bluntly saying that he still wants to marry her, his heart is even more unhappy.

The war in southern Xinjiang was tense, thousands of miles away from the capital, and the marriage was so hasty, Shen Jin might not get any news for a while.

But one day he will return to Beijing, and he will know that Wen Ning is married as a wife.

Before the divorce, he drank heavily every day and was depressed for a while, if he found out about this...

The wine in Liang's hand was no longer fragrant, and the dishes were also tasteless.

Just when the toast came to this table, the eldest princess was radiant with a smile all over her face, and the corners of Pei Shizi's lips were slightly raised, shining like stars.

She put away those small thoughts, and wanted to say a few auspicious words to please her, after all, Pei Shizi is capable, and the Shen family may need his care in the future.

But I don't want Pei Shizi to look at her, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or on purpose, and he gave her a cold look.

Liang's hand trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the wine glass.

When she came back to her senses, the eldest princess and Prince Pei had already left and went to another table.She and Shen Gaolan at the next table looked at each other from a distance, and they both saw a trace of confusion and worry in each other's eyes.

I heard that the business of several properties under the name of Yan Li who was almost engaged to Wen Ning was bleak, just because someone mentioned the name "Yan Li" in front of the crown prince, the crown prince showed displeasure.Some people are afraid of offending the prince, or want to show their loyalty to the prince, and stay away from others.

Then they, who had retired from Wen Ning, could it be that they... offended the prince?

Naturally, Pei You was not used to seeing the Shens and his wife. When he saw them, he thought of Shen Jin, and when he thought of Shen Jin, he thought of a certain flamboyant girl who gave him a sachet.

Many newlyweds would personally embroider a sachet for their husband. Before marriage, he reminded her to embroider a hijab, but she actually only embroidered a hijab.

Ah.

Too lazy to be outrageous.

He held up his wine glass, concealed the emotions in his eyes, and continued to toast to the table next to him.

Pei Shizi seldom went out to socialize, seldom drank and chatted with others. Many people wanted to seize this rare opportunity to have more drinks and talk with him.

Therefore, the entire banquet was full of noise, which could not be summed up in the words "extraordinarily lively".

And this excitement reached its peak with the rewards coming from the palace.

The palace people sang the salute one after another, making the noisy scene suddenly quiet for a moment.

Who didn't know that Emperor Jiahe originally wanted to marry Prince Pei and Princess Zhaohe?But Prince Pei let Princess Zhaohe not marry, and instead married the daughter of a fourth-rank Honglu Siqing.

Originally, some people speculated whether the son's move would hurt Emperor Jiahe's face and make Emperor Jiahe unhappy.

But listening to the valuable rewards and seeing those treasures that have never been seen before being sent to the Duke's mansion continuously, all the speculation disappeared.

Pei Shizi is Pei Shizi, the holy family is rich, and the official career is bright, how can a marriage be shaken? !

The banquet became more and more boiling in an instant.

It wasn't until the third quarter of Haishi that Mingjin retreated.

"Girl, it's the third quarter of Hai." Every half an hour, Linglan would report the time to the door.

Wen Ning just ate some dried nuts and dried fruit in the bag, and read the book on one side for a while, tossed and tossed all day, closed her eyes and fell asleep, so she didn't hear the time reported by Linglan.

Linglan calculated, and felt that Shizi should be coming back soon.

Just as he was hesitating whether to call this group of maidservants in, or just wait for the prince to come in outside, he saw a red figure in front of him.

It was too late to enter in a mighty manner, and she definitely never expected that her own girl was so bold, she ate and drank inside and fell asleep, and she only led the people outside to salute the prince.

Pei You drank a lot of wine, her eyes were a little erratic, her figure didn't sway, and she didn't need Gu Fei's support, she just frowned when she saw a row of maidservants.

Waving his hand: "Go down."

Xi Niang thought it was because the prince had drunk too much, so she quickly knelt and said, "Master, there is also..." It's about wine and wedding ceremony.

Pei You turned her eyes to look over, Xi Niang's heart froze and she stopped talking.

Gu Fei, who was behind, was also waving at her, hurry up, what time is it, the eldest son of his family drank half of the wine in the Duke's mansion, how could he have the energy to deal with these red tapes.

It's not that I don't have the energy to cope.

Pei You heard Mrs. Wang tell many interesting stories about her marriage with Wang Fu.

It is said that she started from getting up at [-] o'clock that whole day, the rice grains were not stained with water, the phoenix crown was heavy, and the wedding dress was tired, but there was a rule of sitting in the tent, she sat for an hour or two without moving a muscle, When Wang Fu entered, she almost fainted.There was also a lengthy quilt wine and wedding speech, which made her almost think that she would not survive the wedding night.

Pei You looked at the bride and thought of her congratulatory speech when she greeted the sedan chair this morning. Presumably, her congratulatory speech for the marriage quilt and wedding ceremony would take less than half an hour to finish.

Wen Ning's small body was thin and frail, like a paper figure in her arms, and he didn't intend to see her faint in front of him.

Xi Niang saw that the master and the servant were determined not to go through the next procedure, so she had to lead a group of people behind her to bow their knees and salute: "Congratulations to your son."

Wen Ning, who was sleeping soundly inside, heard the movement outside.

Congratulations to the prince?

Pei You married?

Oh yes, the bride is her!
She sat up from the couch and looked around in a hurry, the phoenix crown, the hijab, the writing book...

The door had been pushed open with a "creak", Wen Ning quickly stuffed the notebook under the bed, then hurriedly put on the phoenix crown, put it on, and found that the quilt was collapsed by herself, and got up to fix it, just now Standing up, the snack bag on his body fell down with a snap.

Ben wanted to pick it up, but when he turned around, he found that Pei You was already standing at the door of the inner room.

He was dressed in a fiery red wedding dress, with a red hair crown, his eyes were slightly drunk, but his whole body was so neat that not even a single strand of hair was messed up.

She tilted the phoenix crown, she didn't have time to put on the hijab, she lost some lip balm, and there was a cloth bag at her feet, with cashew nuts, pine nuts, walnuts, various preserved fruits... scattered all over the ground.

Their eyes met, as if they heard the crows quacking in the alley last year.

Pei You: "..."

Wen Ning: "..."
