Da Suining

"For a person like me, whoever I marry as a wife is harming the family. The daughter of a respectable family does not dare to let her down. On the contrary, if a person like Mei Jing is willing to marry me, it must be because of their schemes, right? If someone like Mei Jing gets married, let's fight poison with poison. Anyway, I'm grown up too, and according to the usual practice, we should get married too."

Fight poison with poison.

Xiang Suining understood Xiang Guoxin's brain circuit.

He wants to marry Mei Jing, this kind of marriage has nothing to do with liking.

There are footsteps behind the rockery.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Xiang Suining and Xiang Guoxin hurriedly hid in a flower bush by a lake.

"Uncle, you have also seen that Xiangguoxin. She is about the same age as Mei Jing, and has talent. She is sure to be reliable in getting married and starting a career. It is purely childish for Mei Jing to deliberately fall into the water to test him."

"Yes, I have already reprimanded her for this matter."

"My mother is gone, and without our people in the harem, it will be even more difficult to guess what my father is thinking. My uncle's military power has been eroded bit by bit. If we don't think of a way, in the future, I, the eldest prince, will Without status, how can the mighty uncle's mansion survive?"

Mayton nodded.

"Whether you like it or not is one thing, and getting married is another. When Mei Jing marries Xiang Guoxin, we will be in the same boat as Xiang's family. The emperor values ​​Xiang Guoxin, and it will only benefit us."

"Yes Yes."

"Let Mei Jing wait for his marriage with peace of mind. The sooner the better. To avoid having many nights and dreams. After Xiang Guoxin has been promoted to the fourth rank, there are not a few women in Qingcheng who want to marry him. If we miss this opportunity, our way narrower."

The two were talking, and gradually drifted away.

Sure enough, I guessed right.

With Mei Jing's family background, she would not be courteous for no reason.

Behind it is just fancy Xiang Guoxin's future military power.

Because of the incident at the Huxin Pavilion, Mei Jing cried until her eyes were swollen, and two pieces of her clothes were cut off.

The palace sent more clothes, saying that it was to celebrate Mei Jing's marriage agreement.

The best soft light brocade, smooth like silk, or green or purple material, green like bamboo shoots rising from the ground after a spring rain, purple like the color of the summer evening after the sun sets.

All valuable things.

Mei Jing picked up the scissors and wanted to cut again.

The palace also sent a pair of jade bracelets, a jade Guanyin, six gold hairpins of various kinds, and two boxes of porcelain ornaments.

These things are all prepared to add a dowry to Mei Jing, and these things are probably enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime.

When Mei Jing saw the porcelain vases full of descendants, she was so angry that she asked the maid to smash it. If the maid dared to smash the rewards in the palace, Mei Jing wanted to smash it herself.

"If you smash something, don't you still want to get married?" Mei Tong came.

"Father, you have also seen the heart of Xiangguo. You don't know how to be sympathetic. What's the benefit of marrying him? He won't save me if I fall into the lake. Wouldn't marrying him make me die?"

Mei Tong pondered.

"If you don't marry him, we will all die in the future." Mei Tong was a little frustrated.

When he was leading the army, when he was galloping northwest, he never thought that one day, he would use his daughter to maintain the status of the mighty Bo family.

He had never looked down on such a small family as the Xiang family.

If he is neither rich nor expensive, Xiang Daying is just a literati.

But now they can only go up the pole to marry Mei Jing over.

Concubine Mei died, and Guo Cong and Uncle Weiwu's mansion were silent.

No one in the court dared to mention Guo Cong as the crown prince.

The Mighty Uncle's Mansion is even more crowded.

A few years ago, there were not enough stakes for tethering horses at the gate of the mighty uncle's mansion.

Trance is like a big dream.

When the reward from the palace comes down, it means urging marriage.

The mighty uncle's mansion didn't dare to be negligent, and repeatedly consulted with the Xiang family to discuss the time.

On November [-]th, the first snow fell in Xuanguo.

The snow this year came earlier and was particularly heavy.

When I woke up in the morning, the Qingcheng Mountain in the distance was already white.

Open the vermilion lacquer gate, and the goose feather and heavy snow poured directly into people's arms.

The big red wedding dress made by Liuyunfang was put on Mei Jing, the whole body was red, the golden hairpin of Phoenix Yufei was on her head, inlaid with gemstones the size of grapes, and on her wrists were a pair of gold bracelets with many children and many blessings. There was a pair of warm and moist Hetian jade bracelets, with ten miles of red makeup, knocking, and the sedan chair came to the door of Xiang's house.

The son of Xiang's family got married, and there were lanterns and festoons everywhere. Those colorful silks were prepared by Tong Siyue of Liuyunfang himself.The red silk flower on Xiang Guoxin's chest was also folded by Tong Siyue herself.

Big red folding fan, big red silk flower, big red hijab, big red happy character.

Overwhelming red, in a blanket of snow.

Xiang's family opened the middle door to welcome the bride into the mansion.

Xiang Guoxin almost fell asleep in the morning, but Xiang Suining called twice before getting up to pick up the bride at Uncle Weiwu's mansion.

Maybe it's not the person you like, and you won't even be interested in welcoming your relatives.

The same is true for Mei Jing, when she was sitting in the sedan chair, she started to cry.When I got out of the sedan chair, I was still crying, and my sobbing shoulders trembled.The maid had to comfort her: "Girl, it's a day of great joy, don't cry."

Whether it likes it or not shed tears.

After seeing off the guests and sending them into the bridal chamber, Mei Jing was still wiping away tears.The body under the red hijab trembled.

Xiang Guoxin drank some wine, but he was never sober as before.

He came to cover Mei Jing.

The vivid mandarin ducks are embroidered on the hijab.There are also wishful cloud patterns.

These wishful cloud patterns are also on the clothes Liuyunfang made for him.

This is Tong Siyue's needle money.

Xiang Guo regained his composure and lifted Mei Jing's hijab.

A bed full of peanuts and walnuts.

The mothers-in-law fed the two with raw dumplings, and the two also left the scene.

After everyone was gone, Xiang Guoxin closed the door, took off his boots, and sat on the bed.

Mei Jing was still sobbing.

Xiang Guoxin didn't coax him either.

Thinking back when he fell into the lake and even drank a few sips of dirty water, Xiang Guoxin remained calm, and now crying so painfully, probably Xiang Guoxin doesn't care at all.

Mei Jing wiped away her tears, and said angrily: "Wang Zhaojun married a Hun, and his name will go down in history. My mighty uncle's daughter married you, so you can rest like this."

"Is there something else to do if you don't rest?" Xiang Guoxin spread out the quilt and lay down.

It was snowing heavily outside the house, one after another, and it was the next day, and I didn't know how to restrain myself.Fengxue fluttered on the window lattice, making a whirring sound, like a child's whistle, this is the sound of Fengxue's teeth and claws.

The charcoal fire in the copper basin is fully burned, and the red and fiery charcoal occasionally makes a soft crackling sound, the room is full of heat, there are all kinds of fruits on the long table, a pair of big red wedding candles are burning vigorously, and the flames long from fingers Light up the house like daylight.

Xiang Guoxin turned over.

After a day of tossing, I am a little tired.

"You married me, didn't you. Did you marry me and go home to watch?" Mei Jing couldn't sit still anymore, got up early in the morning to get dressed, and was tired by now, but Xiangguo was so angry with her performance. She can't sleep.

"Then let's rest together." Xiang Guoxin turned over.

Mei Jing shrank into the bed, like a shrimp.

"Will you treat me well in the future?" Mei Jing asked.

"I can't tell what will happen in the future." Xiangguo was thoughtful.

This perfunctory rhetoric.

Mei Jing's warm body was in his arms, the beauty was in his arms, but Xiang Guo's heart didn't move.

Such a man seems to have something wrong with his calmness.

"You are an honest gentleman. But the people who lead the soldiers are somewhat stupid, just like my father, who don't understand the customs." Mei Jing was a little sour.

"What is style?"

"That's right." Mei Jing blushed and stopped crying.

"Do you want to light the candles, or turn off the candles?"

"You..." Mei Jing's face turned even redder. If I had known such exciting conversations under the covers, I shouldn't have sat on the edge of the bed and cried.

"I am the daughter of Uncle Weiwu's family. It is your blessing that I marry you. You must treat me kindly in the future and don't bully me."

"Then let's go to sleep." Xiang Guoxin turned around and turned her back to Mei Jing.

Are military generals all idiots? It's so puzzling.

What is the custom of sleeping back to back in the bridal chamber, who do you look down on?

Mei Jing pushed Xiang Guoxin's back angrily: "Oh, you."

"what happened?"

"If you marry me, you will sleep separately? Don't you want to have children?"

"Then let's have children." Xiang Guoxin said, and moved closer to Mei Jing. Xiang Guoxin could see a small mole on her collarbone, hear her heartbeat, and see the velvet on her forehead. Fluffy hair, and her watery eyes.

Candles flickered.

Mei Jing pretended to resist.

To be a general, rude.

It's good to say some sweet words, or give a little tenderness.

At least some sugar.

Nothing but glass shards.

There was no consolation, no buffer, no sympathy from Mei Jing's mouth, no respect for each other, no warmth to her heart, just a one-off success, no softness at all, all cruel and merciless.

When I was not married, I always listened to a few plays, and I always listened to my mother's teachings that the wedding night in the bridal chamber is beautiful.

They are all liars.

Mei Jing whimpered and shouted all night on the bed.

Greetings to those who wake up early the next day.Mei Jing's eyes were red and swollen.

After all, she is the legitimate daughter of Uncle Mighty Mansion.

On the day of the big wedding, people cried and cried in such pain.

Xiangjia still has to show an attitude.

The nuns took out the cushions, and Mei Jing knelt down as soon as her knees gave way.

Xiang Guoxin also knelt down.

Xiang Suining held tea for Mrs. Xiang, secretly looking at Xiang Guoxin.

"Do you still get used to marrying into Xiang's family? If there is anything you are not used to, feel free to bring it up." Mrs. Xiang comforted Mei Jing.

Mei Jing looks at each other with confidence.

Xiangguo thought, "I'm not used to it."

"I'm asking Miss Mei."

"I'm not used to going back to my grandmother."

"That's good. The white-headed couple also came here as a young couple. You two are new couples, and you will be fine in the future. If Guoxin has something to bully you, you come back to me, and I will make the decision for you."

"He didn't bully me." Mei Jing blushed: "Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog."

This argument.

With disgust.

It doesn't sound good either.

After last night, Mei Jing cried and shouted, and half of the Xiangfu knew about it.

After kneeling for a while, both of them dozed off.

"Xueda, it's fine, you two go back and rest." Mrs. Xiang said.

Xiang Guoxin went back, and Mei Jing obediently followed behind him.

"What does it mean to marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and marry a dog to follow the dog." Xiang Guoxin stepped on the snow with his boots creaking, and slept all night, the snow had already buried his boots deep.

Mei Jing was short at first, so she just walked in his footprints, but the embroidered shoes were still wet. It was cold outside, and the wet embroidered shoes pierced her feet like ice picks. superior.

Xiang Guoxin turned his back to her and said, "What do you mean marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog?"

"that is."

"It seems that you are very reluctant."

"Aren't you unwilling too?"

"Reluctantly, aren't we all married? Anyway, we are already married, so let's live with it."

"You..." Mei Jing's face turned red with anger. Could it be that the various exchanges last night were all in vain?Originally, he wanted to ask the kitchen to cook some old hen ginseng soup for Xiang Guoxin to supplement him, but forget it, he doesn't deserve to drink it.

Mei Jing stood in the courtyard. Although the snow was not as heavy as yesterday, it was still falling, and Mei Jing's hair soon turned white.

Xiang Guo turned around and called her, but she didn't move in anger.

"Do you want to grow old with me?"

"What did you say?"

"If you stand still and don't leave, won't we both be whiteheads in a while? I'm afraid you fell in love with me after a night."

"You—" Mei Jing pushed Xiang Guoxin away in shame and anger, and strode back to the room.

Xiang Suining made medicine for Mrs. Xiang, and holding the hot soup, he happened to see Mei Jing and Xiang Guoxin bickering.

"Tell the kitchen, stew two bowls of ginseng soup, and send it to their room." Xiang Suining told Mingzhu.

Miss Tang was a little unhappy.

Mei Jing greeted Mrs. Xiang, and specially gave Mrs. Xiang a white jade Guanyin statue, and Xiang Suining two hairpins inlaid with rubies. Xiang Daying got two books from Xuanguo Palace.They were all noble and decent things, but when it was Tang Xiaoniang's turn, it was a sandalwood comb.Although the workmanship is exquisite, it is just a sandalwood comb.

For this kind of thing, it's nothing unusual to hang a handful of money in Qingcheng's shop.

Tang Xiaoniang complained to Xiang Daying: "After all, it is not her own. After marrying a wife, his wife also treats me poorly. She only gave me this comb. Is it possible that I am still waiting for her comb to comb my hair?"

"It's all the child's wish. If you want something else, just pick it from the warehouse."

"Can it be the same? I am ashamed in front of these servants. After all, I am also Guo Xin's mother in name. If I only got this comb, wouldn't the servants in the house laugh at me? Those servants, she still wants to give up." One of them rewarded two liang of silver for happiness. Speaking of others, life is always bad, but Yan'er loves me more."

The snow outside got a little heavier in the evening, and it didn't mean to stop.

Xiang Yan is about to give birth.

It's just an unfortunate coincidence that about half a month after Xiang Guoxin and Mei Jing returned home on the [-]rd, when the second snow fell, Guo Kai died.

In the middle of the night when he died, the concubines closed the door, and no one went out. Xiang Yan was heavy and heavy, and she was in a deep sleep at that moment. There was only a maidservant listening to the movement in the corridor. Dirty, the maid did not dare to approach him, and he was in severe pain, and he passed away before dawn.

The wind rolled the grape leaves and took away Guo Cheng's wailing.

The news from the palace said that Guo Kai was injured the last time he went to the Southwest to fight grass bandits, and he hadn't recovered, and he just died now.It is to die for the country.

On the second day of Guo Kai's death, while he was attending the funeral, Xiangyan suddenly felt unbearable pain in her stomach in front of Guo Kai's coffin. After five or six hours of pain, she finally gave birth to a little daughter.

Giving birth to a daughter is just better than nothing.
