Zhang Yanling didn't want the bumps to cause discomfort to her wounds, so she chose to ride in the same car as Xu Wanyi. Xu Wanyi naturally wouldn't object, she knew the reason.
The carriage started to move, and Xu Wanyi lowered the curtain. In the dark carriage compartment, Xu Wanyi felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Zhang Yanling quickly opened the curtain of the carriage window to a gap.
"The scenery outside is very good." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Xu Wanyi hummed, and finally asked Zhang Yanling softly, who was sitting half a foot away from him: "Is your injury... okay?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's not serious. This is the fifth time you have asked me."
After being injured yesterday, Xu Wanyi asked her maid to come and inquire about the injury several times. Although she did not come herself, it was obvious that she was very worried.
Xu Wanyi said in a deep voice: "I hurt you, so you have to ask clearly. I don't want you to die."
Zhang Yanling said: "You are quite merciful. If you had stabbed me in the heart, I would be a corpse by now."
Xu Wanyi said: "I thought you would avoid it."
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said: "This is an apology. If I avoid it, wouldn't it show that I am not sincere?"
Xu Wanyi said: "You would rather receive a dagger than kneel down. What if this dagger stabs you to death?"
Zhang Yanling said: "It's okay for a man to bleed, but he can't be humiliated. If you want to know why, you can ask your father and brother. In the same situation, they would rather take a knife than kneel down and kowtow. If you die, that's your fate. To me
For me, this is retribution."
Xu Wanyi said: "I don't want you to die. I don't want to kill anyone."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "I know that you didn't use much force in that move. You are actually a kind-hearted person."
Xu Wanyi glanced at Zhang Yanling and turned around in silence. The traffic was busy, and the lively and bright street scenes outside flashed through the cracks in the car windows. The light shone in and out of the car windows. Although the street scene could not be seen clearly, the scene outside could not be seen clearly.
The sounds of hawkers, carriages and horses, calls for children, laughter, and voices all converged together, making it extremely noisy and lively.
"I saw Miss Tan." Xu Wanyi suddenly said.
Zhang Yanling was startled and turned around. She said in a deep voice: "When? Don't embarrass her. What happened between us has nothing to do with her."
Xu Wanyi frowned and said, "Why did I embarrass her? I saw her coming out of the back garden yesterday evening. Did she come to show you her injuries? I saw her master and servant leaving at the gate of the yard. She is indeed a beautiful woman.
Woman, no wonder you like her so much."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "I thank you on her behalf."
Xu Wanyi said: "She also saw me. But we didn't talk. I think she must hate me to death."
Zhang Yanling shook her head and said: "You are wrong, Ruqing will not hate anyone."
Xu Wanyi said: "How could she not hate me for stealing her man? I even hurt you."
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said: "Princess, not everyone is what you think. Not only does Ru Qing not hate you, but she is also considerate of your situation and worries and sighs for you. As for hurting me, she doesn't know. This
No one knows about this except Axiu. You don’t need to worry about it. I don’t want you to be gossiped about in the house. You don’t need to feel any psychological burden. I took this stab voluntarily to repay your debt.”
Xu Wanyi was silent for a long time and did not speak again.
When the new uncle came to the door, everyone in the Dingguo Palace naturally welcomed him warmly. Seeing Zhang Yanling and his daughter coming out of a carriage hand in hand, Xu Guangzuo was very happy. Although his daughter's marriage must follow his own wishes, Xu Guangzuo actually hoped that
His daughter and son-in-law can get along well with each other. What he is most worried about is that his daughter's temper will anger Zhang Yanling, and she will eventually suffer in the Zhang family. Now it seems that they get along well.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, according to etiquette, Zhang Yanling and Xu Wanyi entered the hall and saluted their father-in-law, mother-in-law, wife, brother and others.
Everyone could see that Zhang Yanling and Xu Wanyi's faces were a little pale, and their eye sockets were a little blue. Naturally, Xu Guangzuo, Xu Yande and others couldn't think too much about it, but other people in Dingguo's mansion couldn't help but think about it in the wrong way: I'm a cheap man.
, the princess was born like a fairy, and my uncle will be so happy these two nights that he will die.
The servants of the Zhang family carried the homecoming ceremony to the hall and presented the ceremony list. The steward of Duke Dingguo's mansion read it loudly.
"Eighteen jars of Qiulu white wine...Eighteen catties of Lushan Yunwu tea...Eighteen catties of Lingnan rose brown sugar..."
Xu Wanyi widened her eyes in surprise and turned to look at Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling looked as usual, as if nothing was wrong.
Xu Wanyi took a breath and said softly: "Thank you very much."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It should be."
After the announcement, Xu Wanyi was dragged into the back house by the female family members to talk. Zhang Yanling, Xu Guangzuo and his son, and the men in the Xu family's relatives sat in the hall drinking tea and chatting. After a while, the British grandfather and grandson arrived on horseback. Zhang Yanling hurriedly
Come forward and salute.
The British prince Zhang Mao was a matchmaker. On the day of the wedding, Zhang Mao was supposed to guarantee the marriage, but he was ill and could not come that day, so he was absent from Zhang Yanling's wedding. Today's return ceremony, Zhang Mao used it as a female family member.
Relatives came to express their congratulations.
While the men were drinking tea and talking in the hall, Xu Wanyi was pulled by her mother to ask questions in the back house.
"Son, how did Yan Ling treat you? I didn't bully you, did I?"
"No, why do you ask me this?"
"Wanyi, Mom knows that you are not happy with this marriage, but there is nothing you can do about it. If you want to resent Mom, Mom has nothing to say. But now that you are married, you must be a good housewife of the Zhang family.
Take good care of your husband. Hey, we women are like this our whole lives. If your husband treats you well, then the mother will feel relieved."
"Mom, I know. Yanling treats me very well. We are very harmonious. Mom, don't worry about it."
"Okay, okay. Mom, I won't ask anymore. As long as you two are in harmony."
After her mother finished asking her questions, her sister-in-law Liu pulled Xu Wanyi and asked her again.
"Wanyi, has Zhang Yanling asked you for a dowry? How much loan sharking does he owe?"
"Sister-in-law, he didn't ask for a tael of silver from me."
"I don't want it? How is that possible? It must be because I'm newlywed and it's hard to ask for it, so I'll ask for it later."
"Sister-in-law, don't think too badly of people. Zhang Yanling may not be the kind of person you think."
"Wanyi, I think you are dizzy. Did you lose your head due to Zhang Yanling's sweet words during the past two nights of tenderness and sweetness? You were all talking to him. You didn't say that before.
of."
"Sister-in-law, what did you say? What made you dizzy?"
"Tch, sister-in-law, how could you not know that someone is here? You have dark circles under your eyes, and so does Zhang Yanling. You must have been up all night these past few days." "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"Why are you so shy? My sister-in-law is telling the truth. Don't think that he will always dote on you like this. It's just that you are still new to him. Man, you can't be trusted. How could your brother marry me?
Isn't it the same? But what about now? You don't enter my room once a month. Wanyi, your husband will definitely marry one after another in the future. In short, it is wise to listen to my sister-in-law and hold on to your money tightly.
. Silver is the most real, it is reliable, and it will not betray you. Do you understand?"
