The two entered the house. Yuan Xi noticed that Zhen Mi's breathing was obviously a little faster, 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.
Two people kneel opposite each other on a mat beside the table, the man on the west and the woman on the east, implying the gradual interaction of yin and yang, which is called "duixi".
On the table, there had already been placed a rather simple-looking bronze gui with two handles, filled with steaming hot meat. The two men picked up their chopsticks and each took a piece of meat and put it into their mouths, which was called "sharing meat together".
The two people picked up the scissors on the table, each cut a lock of hair and tied them together to show their unity, which is called "tying the hair".
Finally, the two of them each picked up the cup from the table, filled each with wine, handed it to the other, and then drank it together, which is called the Heqin ceremony.
Finally, the two put their hands together again.
Zhen Mi's body seemed to go limp, and she said softly, "Alright?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "There is only one last step left."
Zhen Mi raised her head in surprise, "So urgent?"
"Don't we have to wait until night?"
Yuan Xi laughed, "I meant to change the name."
"What do you want to call me now?"
Zhen Mi's face was hot, and she whispered, "Husband, my husband is well."
Yuan Xi felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, "My wife is well."
In this life, she will no longer be allowed to stay in Yecheng.
Now that she is no longer under the control of her parents, the bride does not have to fulfill her filial duties before her parents-in-law. She can take Zhen Mi wherever she wants.
Zhen Mi raised her head slightly, "My husband, is it time to go out and thank the guests?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "No hurry, let's talk more."
Zhen Mi nodded, and felt Yuan Xi holding her in his arms. She felt her neck starting to get hot, and after struggling a few times, she leaned into Yuan Xi's arms.
The two of them sat quietly, enjoying the rare peace. Zhen Mi, on the other hand, felt her nose getting sore and she felt like crying.
Yuan Xi sighed, "I really wronged you."
"But don't worry, this is only temporary."
Zhen Mi shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I'm very happy."
"I just feel that even if the Zhen family has some wealth, their family background is not worthy of my husband."
"Is it because marrying me is full of money and makes it difficult for my husband?"
Yuan Xi thought to himself, you don't understand the joy of living off a gigolo.
He said aloud: "Madam, you are overthinking. There is no such thing as a marriage without any impurities."
"It is precisely because of these money that we have the leisure time to think about things other than money."
"You know, most ordinary people can't even get past the hurdle of money when getting married."
Zhen Mi opened her eyes wide: "I don't see these things in books."
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I will take you around the world in the future, and you will see it naturally."
"Life is the biggest and most complete book."
After hearing this, Zhen Mi nodded, not quite understanding.
She couldn't help but think of her mother, and another wave of sadness came over her. She hurriedly concealed her expression, lifted her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, but ended up wiping off some of the powder around her eyebrows.
She reacted immediately, saw the mark on her sleeve, exclaimed, and said anxiously: "You will be laughed at when you go out later."
When Yuan Xi saw it, he said, "It's okay, I'll draw it."
He took the dressing box, picked up the Shi Dai eyebrow pencil, and re-drew Zhen Mi's eyebrows.
He looked at Zhen Mi's face carefully through her eyebrows. Zhen Mi was shy and closed her eyes.
The beauty is even more beautiful when viewed under the lamp. Zhen Mi is already a beauty, and under the lamplight, her appearance becomes even more breathtaking.
After Yuan Xi finished drawing the eyebrows, he picked up the powder and added some red dots on Zhen Mi's fair cheeks.
Rouge, also known as Yanzhi and Yanzhi, was introduced to the country when Zhang Qian was on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions.
According to historical records, Zhang Qian passed through the Longxi area, where there was Yanzhi Mountain, which was rich in a wild plant called red and blue flowers. He picked the flowers and brought them back. Rouge was extracted from them.
The Huns attached great importance to Yanzhi Mountain. On that day, the Han horses trampled on Yanzhi Mountain, causing millions of Huns to wail.
When Yuan Xi finished painting, Zhen Mi looked in the bronze mirror and was quite surprised: "My husband can also draw eyebrows?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I have occasionally helped others draw."
Zhen Mi rolled her eyes, with a cunning look on her face, "Is it Sister Wu Zhao, or Sister Cao Xian?"
Yuan Xi said: "It's Wu Zhao."
He thought for a moment and said, "Husband and wife are of the same mind. I will not hide it from you. I plan to restore her original name."
Zhen Mi smiled and said, "I have long seen that she is not a simple person. She must be a girl from a noble family. What was her original name?"
Yuan Xi said: "Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Zhonglang."
After hearing this, Zhen Mi's eyes suddenly widened.
After a while, she came back to her senses, "Didn't she marry into the Hedong Wei family?"
Yuan Xi explained the whole process and finally said, "If she hadn't saved me that day, I might have been beaten to death by someone with a hammer. It can be considered fate."
"Then Yuan Shang schemed against me and drugged your sister and me. That was the day you came to pick up your sister."
"After Zhen Rong left, she helped me sober up, and we ended up together by accident."
Only then did Zhen Mi understand that her fourth sister had really been drugged that day.
There was a cunning light in her eyes. "Did anything really happen between you and Fourth Sister?"
Yuan Xi almost choked and asked hurriedly, "What else could happen?"
Zhen Mi opened her eyes wide and said, "Even if it's a matter between husband and wife, if they lie together, they can have a child."
Yuan Xi asked aloud: "Is that what the book says?"
Zhen Mi blushed slightly, "How can it be written in the book? I just guessed."
Yuan Xi thought to himself, no way, didn't your mom or sister tell you?
He smiled and said, "It's okay. Life is a good teacher. You will understand everything after tonight."
Zhen Mi heard something special and opened her big confused eyes with a look of bewilderment.
The two of them talked and talked, and before they knew it, a long time had passed, until Cao Xian knocked on the door and said, "Sir, Madam, the banquet outside is almost over."
Yuan Xi knew it was time for the couple to see off the guests, so he pulled Zhen Mi up and said, "Let's go."
The couple walked out hand in hand, from the inner room to the outer hall. The doors opened one by one. The two of them walked over several thresholds hand in hand and stood in front of the guests.
Exclamations were heard everywhere. Several young scholars who were drinking were dazed for a moment when they saw Zhen Mi's stunning beauty and poured the wine on their chests.
The same thought came to everyone's mind at the same time.
After tonight, the reputation of this new bride of the Yuan family will probably spread throughout the entire Jizhou.
The eyes of the young scholars looking at Yuan Xi were suddenly filled with intense jealousy.
Yuan Xi saw it all, his face remained calm, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
Are you jealous?
I love seeing this expression on your face the most!
Otherwise, what are you guys here for?
This is exactly the same as the expressions of the workers in the previous life when they learned that they had won the lottery on the construction site.
Yuan Xi's face suddenly froze. He suddenly remembered that the next day when he went to the construction site to resign, he was hit to death by a dump truck.
Hey, people should not be too proud of themselves, they should keep a low profile!
Thinking of this, he put on a humble smile and started greeting everyone.
Little did he know that in the eyes of everyone, his hypocritical smile seemed even more hateful.
The couple greeted everyone in turn. It was getting late and the banquet was almost over. The guests stood up and said goodbye while saying congratulations.
The two stood at the door of the mansion and saw everyone off.
Yuan Xi looked at the people who were bidding farewell to him one by one, and thought that whether it was for the sake of the Yuan family or his own face, most of the families in Yecheng had sent people.
Not to mention his own subordinates, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci have all arrived.
Among the Yuan family, Yuan Tan came in person, and although Yuan Shang did not get along with him, he also sent people over. However, Yuan Xing was unable to be present because she was a woman.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi sighed. After being adopted, his opportunities to meet Yuan Xing became much fewer, and from then on he could only visit her in the name of Zhen Mi.
As for other factions of the Yuan family, almost none of Yuan Shang's advisers and generals came, but Tian Feng and Ju Su did come, which showed that they had given up hope.
Yuan Xi thought that his stance could be made clear almost completely at this wedding.
After he saw off the last guest, he suddenly felt relieved, yet a little disappointed.
The person I want to see the most hasn't come yet.
Yes, after I was adopted, I had nothing to do with him anymore, so how could I possibly come?
When they were worshipping in the hall earlier, 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 long while, Yuan Xi came back to his senses. He felt the chill of the evening breeze and said to Zhen Mi, "Don't catch a cold. Let's go back."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar on the long street, and a carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of the mansion gate.
Sun Li, who had been standing outside, suddenly became nervous and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.
The coachman took out a box from the carriage, jumped off the carriage and handed it to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi saw four words written on the lid of the box: "Qin Se Zai Yu".
The Book of Songs says: It is appropriate to drink wine and grow old with you, with the zither and the harp in the palace, and everything will be peaceful and harmonious.
Yuan Xi recognized the handwriting and, with mixed feelings, bowed deeply towards the carriage.
When Zhen Mi saw this, she didn't understand what was going on and quickly bowed her head.
A sigh came from inside the carriage. The driver jumped on, raised his whip, and soon the carriage disappeared at the end of the long street.
Only then did Yuan Xi straighten up and sigh.
Zhen Mi was curious and asked, "Who is in the car?"
Yuan Xi said softly, "My former father."
He held the box in his hands, 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 had happened, it had not been completely severed.
The two walked back hand in hand, and Sun Li followed behind with a sly look in his eyes, wanting to take the opportunity to hide under the window of the bridal chamber. However, Taishi Ci 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 for your hard work, go back and rest early today."
Then Cao Xian, with a look of regret on his face, was pulled away by Wu Zhao.
Seeing that those who wanted to cause trouble had left, Yuan Xi finally relaxed. After Zhen Mi entered the room, he closed the door and said, "No one will disturb us next time."
Zhen Mi opened her eyes wide and blinked: "Are you going to sleep?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "There is one last thing."
He stood up and blew out the candles in the room.
Phoenix bun with gold mud belt, dragon pattern jade palm comb. I want to tell you the taste but the voice is not awake, I love to say that the depth of eyebrow painting is not in fashion.
I have been playing with the brush for a long time, and I am just beginning to try my hand at painting flowers. The crabapple tree is sleeping in the place where the red plum blossoms are…
