Shen Yanqing first went to the kitchen to get some food and asked Shen Yingxue to help deliver it. What he got was Jiang Miao's favorite, roasted chicken elbows and two plates of vegetables, with meat and vegetables. If Shen Yingxue hadn't been able to carry so much, He also wanted to put in two more plates of meat.
"Sister, I'll leave it to you to take care of Miao Ya."
"Sister, I know, please go to the outer courtyard to accompany the guests."
Shen Yingxue glanced at him jokingly, her brothers all loved their wives, the third one even more so, but Jiang Miao was so good, the third one should pamper her.
She brought it to Jiang Miao on a tray. The outer courtyard was already full of people. Shen Yingxue walked carefully and almost bumped into someone.
"careful!"
Guo Zhao watched the tray fall on him and quickly reached out to help him.
"Thank you!"
Shen Yingxue stood firm and hurriedly thanked her. The man's voice sounded familiar to her, and she looked up and saw that it was Guo Zhao.
"benefactor?"
Why is he here?
Guo Zhao noticed her doubts and explained in a deep voice.
"I'm here to deliver a congratulatory gift to the county magistrate."
"Oh, my benefactor will go to the bar in front first, and I will go and deliver food to my brothers and sisters first."
Shen Yingxue didn't continue talking to him. Her identity as Heli was already delicate, and it would not sound good to talk about getting along with her foreign husband in public. She was afraid of ruining the reputation of the Shen family.
Guo Zhao nodded and turned sideways to let her pass. Shen Yingxue walked quickly past him with her head lowered. Her sleeves brushed the back of his hand. Guo Zhao felt a slight numbness in his heart, as if a feather was brushing against the tip of his heart. , he clenched his fist, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.
Jiang Miao gathered the longan and peanuts together on the bed. She was tired and hungry, so she simply sat on the bed and peeled them to eat.
The wedding dress on her body was layered in layers. It looked good, but it was really stuffy after wearing it for a long time, especially now that it was May and the weather was starting to get hot. Jiang Miao untied the collar of her upper body and could breathe a little.
She also wanted to take off the phoenix hairpin on her head, but there was a sudden knock on the door. Jiang Miao was startled. Everyone was eating a wedding banquet outside at the moment. Who would come over?
"Miaoya, am I coming in?"
Hearing Shen Yingxue's voice, Jiang Miao's mind settled.
"Sister, come in."
Shen Yingxue came in with a tray with a smile on her face. Jiang Miao's eyes lit up when she saw the meat and vegetables on it, and her stomach growled when she smelled the smell of the meat. The smile on Shen Yingxue's face deepened.
"Are you hungry? The third child specially picked out your favorite dishes and asked me to deliver them to you. I'm afraid you'll be hungry."
Shen Yingxue's eyes were teasing, Jiang Miao pursed her lips in embarrassment, but in her heart she was happy that Shen Yanqing was attentive and considerate.
"Eat it quickly before it gets cold later."
Shen Yingxue knew that she was thin-skinned and stopped teasing her. Jiang Miao nodded.
"Okay, sister, let's eat together too."
It's dinner time now. Shen Yingxue has been busy in the kitchen and must not have eaten anything yet.
"No, I'll just go out to eat. You put it on the table after you finish it. I'll come over and clean it up later."
Shen Yingxue shook her head and refused. The food she brought was for one person. The rest of the Shen family was eating in the main room, so she had to accompany the guests.
"Okay, sorry for bothering you, sister."
Jiang Miao knew that today's wedding was going to be complicated, so she didn't continue to persuade her. When Shen Yingxue went out, she started to feast.
The braised elbow was so tender that the meat melted when you took a bite. The roasted chicken had crispy skin and tender meat, and the outside was charred and fragrant. Jiang Miao finished a chicken leg in a few bites, and her hungry belly finally felt full.
outer courtyard
"Ziyan, congratulations!"
Dean Qiu patted Shen Yanqing on the shoulder and smiled with joy. Not only did he congratulate him on his marriage, but he also congratulated him on winning the top prize. Shen Yanqing won the first place among the students, but he gave them the face of the college president. He is also honored to be the dean.
"Thank you, Dean!"
Shen Yanqing cupped his hands to express his thanks, then raised his glass and toasted Dean Qiu with a glass of wine. He was an average drinker, and his face was a little red after just one drink. Dean Qiu burst out laughing.
"Let's go greet the other guests first. When you are free, come home and let us master and apprentice have a nice drink."
"good."
Shen Yanqing accepted his kindness and turned to respect others.
The teachers and classmates in the academy were all old acquaintances, so they knew that Shen Yan had a bad drinking habit and didn't embarrass him too much.
"Ziyan is young and promising. He is now a living sign of the academy. Students from neighboring states are rushing to study in our academy."
"No, Ziyan's reading experience is in short supply now. I couldn't help but buy a copy. If I had seen it a few years earlier, I would have been sure to take the exam."
The gentleman who spoke had gray hair, he was stroking his beard, and his eyes were full of regret.
Some people have outstanding talents and get the top prize at a young age. Some people are very talented and have no experience in giving exams all their lives. Although he is envious, he is not jealous. Although he cannot pass the Jinshi exam, he can teach the top student. He has a smile on his face when he tells it. Light.
A round of wine was toasted here. Shen Yanqing's jade-white face was completely red, and her head was a little groggy, but people are in high spirits during happy events. The drunk Shen Yanqing had a look of stupidity on his face. The joy in my heart also showed up with the drunkenness.
The people around looked at his appearance and smiled kindly.
"After all, I am still young. I usually look stable, but when I encounter something happy, it shows on my face."
"Who would be unhappy about being named on the gold medal list and marrying a beautiful wife? Ziyan is already calm enough."
"Too.……"
Shen Yanqing bowed in a circle, and his steps were a little shaky. Shen Dalang came over to help him hold back the drink. He was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, how could the guests let him drink, and Shen Yanqing did drink a little too much, so he didn't want to drink. Toast him again and persuade him.
"Ziyan has drunk enough. He has to get married later, so he can't get drunk!"
"Hahaha, what Mr. Qi said is that Ziyan should go sober up and accompany the bride. We will refill the wine when we are free."
Shen Yanqing gratefully bowed his hands to everyone, "The students will apologize to a few gentlemen another day."
He was concerned about Jiang Miao. It was already past noon and he didn't know if she had eaten enough.
Shen Yanqing left the outer courtyard and walked towards the wedding room. His steps were slightly shaky and smelled of alcohol. Shen Yanqing himself had a mysophobia. He frowned slightly when he smelled the alcohol on his body, and stopped suddenly at the door.
If he goes in like this, will Miaoya dislike him?
He hesitated for a moment, and then went to the next room to freshen up. After the smell on his body was almost gone, he slowly opened the door. Jiang Miao in the room raised her head thoughtfully. Their eyes met. Jiang Miao's eyebrows were curved. Call him with a cute look on your face.
"Ms. sir."
"Well," Shen Yanqing's body was slightly stiff, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He felt even more drunk.
Jiang Miao saw that his face was red, she wrinkled her nose and sniffed lightly.
"Is your husband drunk?"
"I still smell of alcohol?" Shen Yanqing thought it was not completely gone, so she quickly lowered her head and smelled it. Jiang Miao burst out laughing when she saw how dumb he was.
"No, it's just that you look stupid and silly now, and you're not like your usual self."
Shen Yanqing's eyes were helpless and doting, "I'm just nervous," Shen Yanqing walked to her and sat down, holding Jiang Miao's hand and saying softly.
