Da Suining

Chapter 243

Xiangfu.

Because of the return of the three dynasties, Xiang's family was ready to leave early in the morning.

It's the end of the year, and the air is full of the smell of fireworks after the firecrackers exploded.

Red confetti all over the place.

When people walk along the long street, the soles of their feet are red.

Huimen in the Three Dynasties, also known as Huilang, calling uncle, meeting relatives, was also called Guining in ancient times.

It is the son-in-law who carries gifts and returns to her natal home with the bride to meet the wife’s parents and family members, expressing that the bride does not forget the kindness of her parents’ upbringing, and the son-in-law thanks the parents-in-law and the newlyweds for their love and beauty.

Since then, the whole wedding is considered to be completely over.

The homecoming gift from Prince Lu's Palace is quite generous, such as crown flowers, colorful satin, silver vat of honey oil, cakes, fresh fruits, and some seafood specially allocated by the palace, all of which are of the highest quality. For people, far away from the rivers and seas, seafood is rare, and a basket of dried abalone, or two-headed abalone, is really rare.

The return ceremony of this car was placed in the main hall of the prime minister's mansion.

Tang Xiaoniang touched the colorful satin, pinched the fresh fruit, and weighed the fat abalone, as if she was overjoyed, she directly handed the abalone to Mrs. Xiang: "Look at this abalone, old lady, it's so big, it's big enough to be eaten." Enough to stew a pot of fresh soup. The daughter of the Xiang family did not embarrass the Xiang family, and the son-in-law she found was decent, and the gifts she sent home were more decent than those of other families."

Tang Xiaoniang almost smashed the dried abalone into Mrs. Xiang's face.

In normal times, Mrs. Xiang would have to scold her, "What kind of precious thing, with such shallow eyelids."

But Guo Kai was sitting in the main hall, wanting to give Tang Xiaoniang some face after all, Madam Xiang turned her face away and pretended to have a sip of tea: "It's all King Lu's wish, and King Lu spent a lot of money."

"No fee, no fee." Guo Kai stretched his legs and stepped directly on the stool. Xiang Yan coughed, and Guo Kai sat down immediately.

Looking at it like that, he listened to Xiangyan's words very much.

The whole family sat around and had a meal. The mutton pot on the dining table was warm and fresh, and there was plenty of charcoal fire in the room. Even though it was winter, the warm forehead was sweating.

Guo Kai brought fresh dragon fruit, which was not produced in Qingcheng, and he did not know where it was brought from.The maidservant cut them up and put them on a silver plate, inserted them with delicate gold sticks, and handed them to the masters one by one.

Guo Kai specially picked up a big piece and handed it to Xiang Yan, and said: "Princess is working hard, she has to eat more than usual."

Xiangyan didn't answer, she just opened her mouth.

Guo Cheng understood and fed the dragon fruit into Xiangyan's mouth.

Husband and wife love each other.

Xiang family, you look at me, I look at you, and nod in satisfaction.

Chunyu stood behind Xiangyan, carefully reminding Xiangyan that it should be used sparingly if it is cold.

Xiang Suining saw Chun Yu's face.

The wound is long and fresh.Perhaps because of the deep wound, half of Chunyu's face was still a little swollen.

Madam Xiang also saw it.

Tang Xiaoniang asked: "Chunyu, how did you get that ghostly look? Anyway, you are serving the princess, so be decent."

Chunyu held back her tears and gave a blessing: "Yes, it's all due to my servant's carelessness. I missed it when cleaning the branches. Next time, my servant will be careful."

Tang Xiaoniang saw Xiang Yan's eye sockets, which were a little bruised, although Xiang Yan applied a thick layer of powder, the bruises could not be completely covered.Looking at the whole person is a little tired.

"Yan'er, your eyes..." Tang Xiaoniang asked, "Did your eyes hurt?"

"No."

"Why do I look... as if I've been punched in the face."

"Niang really knows how to joke." Guo Kai snatched the words and said, "I am the prince and she is the princess, who would dare to punch the princess?"

It is true.

Xiangyan ate the dragon fruit casually: "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well, so I don't look good. I'm heavy, sometimes I can't breathe well, and I don't sleep well at night."

"There are all imperial doctors in the palace, and the princess is also a rich woman. If the princess feels uncomfortable, the prince must accompany her well, and find the best doctor to show the princess." Tang Xiaoniang taught.

Guo Cheng could listen to it.

Xiang Suining handed Mrs. Xiang a piece of dragon fruit, fearing that she would not be able to digest it, so he didn't dare to hand it more, so he only ate one piece.

When he raised his hand to pass the dragon fruit, the silver bracelet on Xiang Suining's wrist shook.A ray of silver light complements the slender and tender wrist, which is completely natural.

Guo Kai turned his eyes to look, but his eyes never moved away.

Xiang Suining hurriedly withdrew his hand, met Guo Kai's gaze, and gave him a hard look.

Instead of getting angry, Guo Kai became happy instead, chewing the dragon fruit in his mouth, and stretched out his tongue to lick his lips.

This action is kind of disgusting.

Xiang Suining didn't look up again.

According to the rules of the country, the newlyweds have to stay at their mother's house for one night when they return home.

So dinner is naturally served at Xiang's house.

Because Guo Kai is the prince, the young and old of Xiang's family dare not neglect, even Xiang Daying has to be careful to accompany the wine, for fear that the atmosphere will be deserted, and even say some funny words to make Guo Kai happy.

The two of them didn't drink less wine.The dishes didn't move much.

Xiang Daying's drinking capacity is average, Xiang Guoxin has grown a bit taller, and he also went to the table as the host, but he can't drink any wine. After drinking a glass of white wine, Xiang Guoxin's face turned red to the neck, and he fell asleep on the table. went.

"There are still a lot of dishes, Mr. Yuezhang, why don't you drink two more cups?"

"Drink... I can't drink any more. My lord, you have a lot." Xiang Daying patted Guo Kai on the shoulder.

"I can still drink, but... I need someone to pour the wine." Guo Kai's eyes flicked around.

"Where are the servants and maidservants?" Xiang Daying called.

Xiang Yan ate food in silence, as if she didn't hear anything.

Drinking crookedly, falling down, the room is full of alcohol, just like falling into a wine tank, Tang Xiaoniang persuaded: "I drank a lot, let my uncle rest quickly, tired all day, Yan I'm afraid I'm sleepy too."

The maid stepped forward to pour the wine, Guo Kai stretched out his arm, and the wine cup fell to the ground and broke.

"The maids are rough, my lord, the people in your house don't know how to serve you." Guo Kai pointed at Xiang Suining with a drunken look: "How about second sister come and pour the wine."

The greasy second sister almost made Xiang Suining spit out the chicken drumstick rice from the previous night.

It is really rude for Guo Kai to be so abrupt.

Xiang Daying leaned on the chair: "Second girl knows what to pour wine, maidservant, Chun Yu, come and pour wine for the prince."

Chunyu looked at Guo Kai's face, but didn't dare to move.

Tang Xiaoniang put down her chopsticks: "The second girl is going to pour wine for the prince, what's the matter, are you all drunk? Follow him, follow him."

"That's your son-in-law, go get the bar." Mrs. Xiang put down the porridge in her hand, and said in a harsh tone: "The prince is drunk, go to rest early. He was very drunk on the first night back home. Disrespectful."

Guo Kai blushed so much that he had to be led by a maidservant to the east wing.

Xiang Yan went to Tang Xiaoniang's room first.

Xiang Yan married into the palace, this is the first time she came back.In front of Guo Kai, some things are difficult to say after all, and now Guo Kai has gone to bed, giving them a rare time to get along.

The maids took the hairpin for Tang Xiaoniang, rubbed her temples after combing her hair, which made Tang Xiaoniang yawn: "It's a busy day, but I see that you and the prince are harmonious, loving and courteous, my mother A heart of mine, it has fallen into my stomach. At the beginning, your body...for several nights, my mother was so worried that I couldn't sleep well, but fortunately, you are young and beautiful, and you are accurate in seeing people. The tidy up is obedient, just eat a piece of fruit, and I will serve you. It is rare to see a man who is so considerate of his wife in Qingcheng. Yaner, you are lucky. In the future, the palace, you will have the final say, right?"

"You guys go down first." Xiang Yan spit out.

The mother and daughter usually talk, and they don't shy away from servants.

The maidservants withdrew, and Tang Xiaoniang was still a little surprised: "If there is something important, you have to talk to your mother in private?"

"I..." Xiangyan lowered her head.

"Is it..." Tang Xiaoniang laughed tremblingly: "Is it true that the prince is... dissatisfied with his desires every day... Your body can't bear it? After all, you are heavy, you are just married, and he is full of blood Young man, it is normal to be more frequent. There are no other little sluts in the palace now. Aren’t you the only one who is favored by the prince? How many people can’t envy you, so don’t push the man out foolishly. Mother tells you, this man , whoever you sleep with will hurt whoever you are."

"Mother, look..." Xiang Yan pulled the candlestick closer, leaned over and pulled up the sleeves.

Arms full of bruises.

One by one, entangled together.

Showing her arms, Xiang Yan's eyes turned red.

Tang Xiaoniang was also taken aback: "Nowadays young people, young couples, play so...exciting? When I was in the palace, I heard that some eunuchs like to play this, saying it's just for fun..."

"Mother, where are you thinking?" Xiang Yan's tears fell, "He beat him."

"He hit you?" Tang Xiaoniang couldn't believe it. She married into Xiang's family as a court lady, and Xiang Daying, a second-rank official, never touched her. Day, it was beaten like this.

Xiang Yan has grown up since she was a child, and in the past ten years, she has never been beaten so severely.

commit a sin.

Really know how to hit, almost no injuries on the face.

A woman, a bride, who would easily reveal the wounds on her body for outsiders to see.

His heart can be punished.

Tolerable or unbearable.

Tang Xiaoniang stood up and sat back down: "Let's bear with it, what can I do now to find the prince? Can you still tear yourself apart with the prince? You are married to him. The child is about to be born, bear... After all, he is Lord, ordinary people, even those from poor families, beat their wives after drinking."

Tang Xiaoniang didn't support her, Xiangyan shed a few tears silently.

"The way of a husband is also a subject of knowledge. Yan'er, you are still young, and you have a lot to learn in the future. However, if you want to have a plan in your heart, you must control him."

Xiangyan leaned in front of Tang Xiaoniang and said a few words softly.

When Tang Xiaoniang heard it, her head shook like a rattle: "You can bear this? How can this be done?"

"He has already promised me that after this incident, he must be a good man, love me, and never beat me again. I can't be beaten in the palace for the rest of my life, I have to give it a try."

"But……"

"No one dares to speak out about this matter, and will not leak the wind. Even if it is leaked, who would dare to move a finger of the prince?"

"You really want to..."

Xiang Yan nodded.

"Mother still thinks it's inappropriate. This matter...is a little unclear. It's hard to explain."

"Mother just watched him beat me to death? Or should I resist and be taken back to my mother's house by him? I'm pregnant, and mother won't make plans for me? This is my only chance." Xiangyan almost begged .

Tang Xiaoniang bit her lips, she made a big determination: "Okay, even if mother puts all her efforts into it, she will fulfill you this time, I hope he can listen to you in everything in the future, hold you in his palm, Stop being such a jerk."

The Dongxiang room is on the east side of the front yard, and the partition wall is the Dongkua courtyard.

Because people in the front yard seldom go to the back yard at night, the circular arch on the wall is never closed.

Mrs. Xiang is getting old, and she always feels cold this winter, even if she has lit enough charcoal, her hands and feet are still cold.

Xiang Suining personally pretended to be Mrs. Tang and placed it at Mrs. Xiang's feet. After Mrs. Xiang's feet warmed up and she gradually felt sleepy, she went to her room.

The roads are slippery in snowy days, and the snow that has finally stopped during the day, when the north wind blows at night, falls again in a patter, and when it falls on the hair, it melts, and when it falls on the face, it turns into a layer of water mist, which is very cool.

Xiang Suining raised her hand to wipe the mist from her eyes. As soon as she raised her hand, she didn't pay attention to her foot, and she felt that she stepped on something soft. She thought she stepped on a mouse or a cat, so she took a step back.

Someone stepped forward and pressed against her chest: "Second sister, you stepped on me."

A smell of alcohol came to his face.

And it is mixed with leeks, tofu, and various stewed vegetables.

Don't look at the face, just listen to the voice, it's greasy enough to fry two plates of cabbage.

Xiang Suining thought to himself, in the heavens, did he miss a stick of incense? How could he be stepping on such a thing.

Xiang Suining's maid, Ming Zhu, was very clever, holding a lantern in front of Xiang Suining: "My lord, our girl is going to rest."

"Oh, I'm going to rest, I was still early." Guo Kai raised his head, looking for the moon all over the world, when Xue Ye raised his head, his face was covered with snowflakes, how could there be any moon.

The night is already deep.

"This is the Dongkua Courtyard, the residence of the women's family members. Help the prince back to the East Wing." Xiang Suining told the servant in the mansion.

Guo Kai argued: "Why can't you just walk casually? I drank too much and went out to get some air. Your Xiangfu is too small. Just walk a few steps and come here."

"Go back, my lord."

"The moon is like a hook, lonely... lonely..." Guo Kai recited a sentence, but he couldn't recite it completely, so he sighed and said, "It's too cold, and the charcoal fire in my room is almost burned out." , your Xiang family is so picky and searched, and the charcoal fire will not be better."

As Guo Cheng said that, he rubbed against Xiang Suining.

The trails are narrow.

Guo Cheng pressed on step by step.

"What are you doing?" It was Xiang Yan.

Just thinking about how to deal with Guo Cheng, Xiang Yan came.

It's just in time.

Guo Kai lost his interest, and turned around to hold Xiang Yan's arm: "Why did the princess come back? I have been waiting for a long time, and I am going to call you. It is cold outside, follow me back to the East Wing."

"What did Second Sister do just now?" Xiang Yan questioned Xiang Suining.

Xiang Suining was a little confused.

She doesn't seem to be doing anything?But Xiangyan hugged the stove and said quietly: "Although the prince is good, he is also my man. The second elder sister is someone who has come before her, so she should avoid it, let alone in the prime minister's mansion, not to mention it is so late at night, and the servants are here again. The second sister is whispering to the prince, isn't she afraid that others will gossip?"

No reason.Obviously being blocked here by Guo Kai, and being suspected by Xiangyan of ill intentions.

Would Xiang Suining whisper to Guo Kai?The enemy was so jealous when they met, she didn't even bother to take a second look at him.
