Chapter Sixteen: Wedding Night in the Bridal Chamber
"Husband, I propose a toast to you."
Liu Huaian raised his wine glass, and the two drank a glass of wine together, his beautiful smiling eyes full of love.
Ren Junwan picked up the jade pot and poured wine, and said with a smile: "Thank you for helping me, husband."
"This is all as it should be. Why do you and I still know each other so clearly now?" Liu Huaian scratched her nose and said, "You have to dress up nicely later."
"It's natural." Ren Junwan turned to look at Liu Huaian and said, "Song Ji didn't even lift my hijab back then. I wonder if your husband would mind?"
"Of course I won't mind. Go ahead and wait for me in the room."
Ren Junwan stood up and whispered, "I'll wait for you with my personal maid, don't make your family anxious." She licked Liu Huaian's ear, making him feel numb all over.
Liu Huaian continued to eat to replenish his strength.
After burning the incense, Song Ji came to the room. Liu Huaian handed the written letter to Song Ji and said, "Take the letter and go to Liu Junsong. He will know what to do after reading the letter."
Song Ji took the letter and asked, "Can I see it?"
"No, I've sealed it. If you open it, don't blame me for being cruel." Liu Huaian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Song Ji, can't you see some things clearly?"
"I understand." Song Ji put away the letter and asked, "I'm curious, why don't you become an official? Do you want any woman from a third-grade official?"
"It's important for people to know themselves." Liu Huaian yawned and said, "I don't have the ability to be an official, but I have the ability to be a guardian. Is the Salt Transport Envoy very big?"
Song Ji choked up for a moment, then laughed and said: "It is true that the third grade is not great, and the Heavenly Guard is inferior to one person. The three Heavenly Guards in Hangzhou don't give any face to anyone, they always walk sideways wherever they go."
Liu Huaian nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, my dream and goal is to be a guardian of heaven. I am unable to do it due to salt luck and I don't even bother to do it."
Song Ji smiled and shook his head and said, "I thought you were doing it for her, but it turns out you traded her for something that is of no use to you."
"You can't say that. I really like Ren Junwan. That girl is very smart and agile." Liu Huaian poured himself a glass of wine and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Song Ji nodded slightly and said, "I hope adults can treat her well."
"Feeling guilty?"
"That's right." Song Ji said with a wry smile: "My engagement with her is the product of the union of two families. I tried to love her, but I couldn't. I hope you can treat her well."
"It's natural. If I don't love my woman, who will?" Liu Huaian put down his wine glass and said, "Go, Liu Junsong will go to bed in a while."
Song Ji stood up and saluted: "Sir, you will definitely become a Heavenly Guard in the future, I have no doubt about it."
Liu Huaian waved his hand gently.
Song Ji turned around and left. After drinking and eating, Liu Huaian walked out and saw a maid standing at the door.
"Have you had enough, Master?" the maid asked with a smile. She had a smile in her eyes and looked good-looking, like a smart little nightingale.
Liu Huaian smiled and nodded: "Of course, you are Wan'er's personal maid?"
"The young master's name is really intimate." The maid teased him and said, "Yes, the young master can call me Xiaoying, and I will be very happy if you call me Ying'er."
"You girl, let's go." Liu Huaian shook his head helplessly and said, "You two masters and servants are really the same."
"Of course, sir, we have to go to the back garden to avoid being seen. Come with me." Xiaoying took Liu Huaian's hand and walked to the backyard, introducing as she walked, "This is a place where many men and women meet for trysts. It is usually very quiet."
Few people come."
"When I come to your master from now on, will I act like a thief?"
"That's not necessary." Xiaoying gently shook Liu Huaian's hand and said, "My young lady has a house outside, and the young master can meet her in the house."
"By the way, hasn't your master sent someone to test Song Ji before?" Liu Huaian was a little confused. According to the rules of marriage, all young ladies will test the groom first.
"Of course I tried." Xiaoying began to defend Ren Junwan, "But the master didn't care about the young lady at all. Song Ji's mother often said bad things to the young lady. The angry young lady personally gave Song Ji five or six concubines, but none of them were found.
Been pregnant."
Then there would be trouble if she could get pregnant. Liu Huaian sighed helplessly: "What happened next?"
"The two parties separated, and the old woman never scolded the young lady again, and she became indifferent to Song Ji." Xiaoying said helplessly: "Actually, everyone knows what happened, but for the sake of dignity and face, she didn't expose it.
.”
"How can a big family be willing to destroy the face they have accumulated for so many years?" Liu Huaian shook his head slightly and said: "For this face, they can sacrifice anything. But they are not willing to believe that their face is very fragile.
In front of the strong, their face is like a membrane, it will break if touched, but they still go crazy to maintain it."
Speaking of this, Liu Huaian's heart became stronger and beat even more violently.
Xiaoying turned around and said: "The young master must be kind to the young lady and cannot bully the young lady."
"must!"
Xiaoying nodded and said: "That's great. The young lady used to be very sad, and I rarely saw her smile. But when the young lady is with the young master, she is very happy. I hope the young lady can be more happy."
"You should be happy too."
"The lady is happy and I am happy too."
When he came to the room, Liu Huaian saw that the whole room was decorated very festively, and the table was filled with red candles. Under the guidance of Xiaoying, Liu Huaian came to the bedroom and saw Ren Junwan wearing wedding clothes and a red hijab.
Her feet were naked, with gold chains on them that extended all the way up.
Seeing his curiosity, Xiaoying explained: "This is called a gold-threaded garment. It covers the whole body. This is my first time wearing it. Groom, please lift your hijab!"
Liu Huaian lifted his hijab and said, "This is my most beautiful wife in the world."
"You have a poor mouth." Ren Junwan snorted, ridiculously happy, and quickly urged: "Ying'er, please... undress my husband and put out the candles. A spring night is worth a thousand gold."
Ying'er walked up behind Liu Huaian and helped him untie his clothes.
"There is no need to extinguish the candle. For such a beautiful wife, if the candle is extinguished, what kind of elegance will there be?" Liu Huaian threw Ren Junwan down, and Xiaoying quickly joined the fight.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was dim and there was still light snow. It stopped snowing in the second half of the night, but now it seemed like it was going to fall again.
Liu Huaian wanted to get up, but could not push Ren Junwan away. She clung to Liu Huaian like an octopus.
Xiaoying had already put on her clothes. She smiled and handed two pieces of white silk dyed red to Liu Huaian and said softly: "Master, please put them away. I will prepare breakfast."
"OK."
After Xiaoying left, Liu Huaian saw that Ren Junwan had woken up. She still clung to Liu Huaian and said with a smile: "My husband is awesome."
After breakfast, Liu Huaian left. As soon as he walked out the back door, he saw Song Ji. He smiled and asked, "How was it?"
Song Ji raised the transfer order in his hand and said: "I will go to Zhejiang Salt Transportation Department in the spring next year. Thank you very much."
"You are Welcome."
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten!"
"Drink two drinks with me."
Liu Huaian followed him to a restaurant. Song Ji poured wine for Liu Huaian himself and asked, "What do you think of this case?"
"You still want to take credit?"
Song Ji shook his head and said: "No, but I want to solve this problem before I leave. I have governed Hangzhou for so many years and there has never been such a big trouble. I won't worry if it is not solved."
"Don't worry, the truth will come out soon." Liu Huaian said with a smile: "They must be in a hurry now, and they will make mistakes when they are anxious, just leave it to me. Who will take your place after you leave?"
"Liu Junsong, he said he wanted to learn it first."
Liu Huaian snorted and said, "This kid's starting point is the ending point of most people."
"This is the way the world is. People above will not die, but people below will not be able to get up." Song Ji clinked glasses with Liu Huaian and drank them all in one gulp. "In the future, I will change Da'an and revive Da'an again."
"The ideal is very fulfilling, but the reality is definitely not that simple." Liu Huaian stood up and said, "I wish you all the best, and goodbye."
Song Ji stood up and sent Liu Huaian away.
As soon as he returned home, Liu Huaian saw three girls repairing snowmen in the courtyard. They built three snowmen last night. The snow that fell in the middle of the night covered the snowmen, and now they have to repair them again.
"I'm back."
The three girls heard the sound and ran to Liu Huaian. Rouxue hugged Liu Huaian without restraint, "I miss my dad so much."
"Have you taken any medicine?" Liu Huaian picked her up and spun her around. The three girls nodded at the same time, "Just be obedient. Have you received all the clothes and cloth?"
Huan Yun smiled and said: "It's very beautiful, thank you Master."
Wen Xiang nodded and said: "The furs are all top quality, but the white ones are difficult to wash after being dyed with ink."
Rouxue asked with a smile: "Master, have you eaten yet? I'll ask the cook to cook it for you."
"After eating, you can play, I want to practice."
Rouxue kissed Liu Huaian before letting him go.
Liu Huaian has been practicing all day long. He obviously feels that these three magical powers are more difficult. Fortunately, four people are practicing together, and the speed is still very fast.
Liu Huaian no longer dared to use the previous method of comprehensively advancing and learning all the methods together. Instead, he mastered one book first and then learned the next one.
Considering that he might have to fight evil spirits in the future, Liu Huaian learned the thunder method first and learned half of it in one day. In the afternoon, he also found time to practice with Rouxue for an hour, but Rouxue couldn't stand it for just one hour.
She kept begging Liu Huaian to let her go.
Liu Huaian didn't force him, so he went to look for Huan Yun. The girl took advantage of the temperature in the afternoon to take a bath. Now she was sitting on a recliner reading a book. Two maids were helping her dry the water on her hair with a cloth.
When she saw Liu Huaian coming in, she wanted to stand up and salute, but Liu Huaian motioned to sit down.
Huanyun put down his book and asked, "Master, does he have a problem with me?"
"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"I'll make tea for the master." Huan Yun was about to put on his shoes to make tea, but Liu Huaian grabbed his delicate white feet.
