I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 479: Wedding! The Second Lady of the East and the West! (Part )
Some people look fierce on the outside but are soft on the inside.

Some people appear to be well-behaved on the outside but are vicious on the inside.

Compared with Aunt Jiang, Jiang Wan undoubtedly went from one extreme to another.

If she were to act according to her nature, this seemingly gentle and charming northern woman's means and schemes would be enough to compete with countless men in the world.

It’s a pity that due to fate and time, her birth and background put layer upon layer of shackles on her, completely covering up the brilliance she should have.

The three words "Shao Ge'er" are the biggest shackles in her life.

Han Shao sometimes wondered, if he had not inherited everything from Shao Ge'er and had not returned from the battlefield, what would have been Wan Niang's fate?

Did he go with 'Shao Ge'er'?

Or... at all costs, leaving the entire prairie chicken dog behind?
Han Shao guessed that it was most likely the latter.

The hatred of an ordinary person can only cause blood to splatter five steps away.

But if it were a woman like Jiang Wan, I'm afraid everything would be turned upside down.

Because in addition to the viciousness and scheming hidden in her bones, she also has a very deceptive beauty.

……

He carefully assured Jiang Wan again and again that he would not let Jiang Wan suffer any injustice.

Han Shao finally escaped from Aunt Jiang's clutches.

His rather embarrassed appearance in front of Aunt Jiang caught the eyes of the women present, and they immediately looked at Aunt Jiang with a bit more awe.

They had long heard that in Zhenliao City, the newly-risen and prominent Jiang family was the most special.

When I saw it today, I found that the rumors were not only true, but even seemed too restrained.

How could this be so special? It was clearly extraordinary!
Many women and family members of the prominent families in Zhenliao were secretly shocked.

So as soon as Han Shao left the main hall and went to the inner chamber to welcome his new bride, there was a burst of uncontrollable flattery behind him.

Aunt Jiang, who is naturally flamboyant, has always liked the feeling of being the center of attention.

Her festive words and your envious words of "Mrs. Jiang is so lucky" lingered in her ears, and Aunt Jiang soon smiled happily.

Li Jing's wife, who had been with her all the time, couldn't help but frowned slightly when she saw this. She was hesitating whether to say a few words to Aunt Jiang, asking her not to get too close to these people.

But Aunt Jiang winked at him, indicating that she knew what was going on.

Li Jing's wife understood what he meant and her brows relaxed immediately, she was a little amused.

She was judging people through the crack in the door and underestimated Mrs. Jiang.

I had thought that Madam Jiang was of humble origins, but now that she was prominent, it was inevitable that she would not understand the guard of human nature for various reasons.

Little do they know that what people in this market lack the least is survival wisdom and... cunning.

And this Mrs. Jiang is the best among them.

When it comes to taking advantage, she never shirks her responsibility.

But is it true that others are trying to take advantage of her family just by saying a few nice words?

That's no way!

At this time, Li Jing's wife seemed to have thought of something, and then quietly fell behind Aunt Jiang by half a body length.

Don’t think that her Li Jing’s status and authority in the army far exceeds Jiang Hu.

But after all, Li Jing was an outsider.

However, Jiang Hu is a relative of the emperor and also occupies the status of an elder of the emperor.

Compare the two and make a judgment.

On the other side, the wives of Zhao Mu and other generals were also smart. After noticing the actions of Li Jing's wife, they immediately came to their senses.

Except for Feng Can's wife, who was a step slow in reaction, everyone deliberately highlighted Mrs. Jiang's status.

In this way, this "violent woman" who once dominated the market finally took a step further.

One day, she stood proudly among the noble ladies, looking down on them.

……

Outside the main hall, Han Shao walked hurriedly, looking quite anxious.

There is no way, it is not so easy to enjoy the happiness of having many wives.

His workload today is twice that of an ordinary groom. He has to welcome the two ladies into the house in person without delaying the auspicious time, so he is quite rushed in terms of time.

Fortunately, Han Shao had been through many tests in his previous life and was a well-known master of time management.

There probably won't be any trouble.

His mind was locked on the woman who was anxiously waiting for him in the boudoir. Han Shao did not even give the maids in the mansion a chance to lead the way and headed straight for his target.

As a result, the ones who were in trouble were the waitresses who were supposed to lead the way.

However, due to Han Shao's identity, he didn't dare to stop him and could only bite the bullet and follow Han Shao.

"Sir, please slow down. My lady can't run away."

Han Shao was amused when he heard a waitress behind him whispering bravely.

Seeing that he was approaching the inner courtyard boudoir, he simply slowed down his pace obediently and said with a smile.

"How can a man in the world not be anxious to marry a beautiful woman?"

As soon as this joke was made, the waitresses' awe and nervousness towards him were immediately alleviated.

The bold waitress who had spoken earlier couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, a great man and hero in the world, would also be anxious?"

After she finished saying this, before Han Shao responded, the waitress blushed.

Women admire strong men.

By now, Han Shao's reputation had spread throughout Youzhou and even the entire world with one glorious victory after another.

Along with these past achievements, his outstanding appearance, which far surpassed that of ordinary men in the world, was also passed down.

The combination of the two, let alone maids of lowly status like them, even those noble ladies who seem aloof and noble would have some unrealistic fantasies in their dreams.

big hero?
Han Shao smiled.

"I am also an ordinary person."

"There is a beautiful woman in my heart, I can't bear to see her sitting and waiting for me, so I am anxious."

These words seemed to be a response to the waitress's curiosity, but they were actually spoken to Jiang Wan.

As a woman, what woman doesn’t like to hear sweet words?

As soon as these words came out, Han Shao suddenly felt that a certain aura in the boudoir became disordered for a moment.

That's it!

Han Shao was delighted and walked forward with big strides.

When they arrived outside the courtyard where the boudoir was located, as expected, they were stopped by a group of young women and girls.

Among these women there were generals in the army as well as wives of clerks in the general's mansion.

I don’t know where Jiang Wan got the ability from, but she was able to bring so many women together and make them close friends in just over a year.

Besides being close friends on a daily basis, he was even dragged to cheer for her at her wedding today.

Even though Han Shao could see that these women were somewhat afraid of his identity and strength, they were still able to bravely and fearlessly block his way.

Just when they finally mustered up the courage and were ready to embarrass Han Shao, they heard a gentle voice coming from the inner room.

"That's all, let him in."

The women blocking the gate were completely dumbfounded when they heard this.

No!

"I am ready to fight to the death, how can Your Majesty surrender first?"

Han Shao was also a little surprised.

After all, it is a custom to block the door of the boudoir. The so-called deliberate difficulties probably also have the implication that the groom has gone through "untold hardships" to marry a good wife, and he should cherish her in the future and not take her lightly.

Jiang Wan's sudden action not only confused her "close friends", but also made Han Shao feel like he had punched the air.

Speaking of which, he had made good preparations in order to pass this level.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the gentle voice in the boudoir spoke again.

"Don't worry, he will treat me well."

"I believe in him."

A simple sentence of "I believe him" was enough to move many people present and shock them silently.

The rest of those who were hesitant to speak also fell silent after hearing the next sentence.

"Because he is my brother Shao."

Shao Ge'er, there are only a handful of people in this world who are qualified to summon this.

Jiang Wan can, because she is Shao Ge'er's mother.

The childhood sweethearts are surrounded by bamboo horses, and the childhood sweethearts are guessing.

The one and only Wan Niang.

The crowd gathered in front of the inner courtyard boudoir door moved aside, and Han Shao looked at the "broad road" in front of him that led directly to the boudoir.

As I took a step, I felt it was much heavier than going through 81 tribulations.

But when it fell, it was extremely solid.

A beautiful woman is so affectionate that any hesitation at this moment would be a betrayal.

So Han Shao left everyone who was following him and strode towards the boudoir without hesitation.

There was almost no hindrance in this process.

Just like his and Jiang Wan's life, they played together when they were young, fell in love when they were teenagers, and now they are about to get married and marry each other. Everything is happening naturally as if it was destined.

"Wan Niang, I'm here."

With a gentle call, the beauty turned around, she was more beautiful than flowers, and smiled playfully, just like when she was a child.

"Shao, why are you looking for me?" Han Shao, who had been pretending to be serious, smiled.

"I'll take you home."

"Who to pick up?"

Han Shao walked forward slowly, and took her delicate fingers gently and irresistibly.

"My wife."

Having said that, he emphasized his tone and repeated it again.

"I am here to take my wife home."

Jiang Wan smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

"So what are you waiting for, Shao? Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the boudoir hand in hand, just like when they first agreed to go out and play.

As the light and darkness inside and outside the boudoir alternated, Han Shao was in a trance for a moment.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

At this moment, the pretty girl with an innocent face in his memory and the graceful figure with her back to him, just like Han Shao and "Shao Ge'er", seemed to have finally completely overlapped.

Under the rising golden sun of summer, Han Shao turned his head and lowered his eyes, looked at Jiang Wan and said with a smile.

"Hold your hand and grow old together with me."

Jiang Wan responded with a smile, the light in her eyes brighter than the golden sun.

"Are you making fun of Wan Niang for not having read much and not knowing how to write poetry?"

She lied. In fact, since childhood, she not only had a stronger martial arts talent than Han Shaoqiang, but was also better at reading than him.

But she wasn't lying.

Because even now, she has recited Confucian classics and Legalist principles, and she believes she can write articles that are magnificent in the eyes of others.

But every word and sentence was not as touching as the casual remarks of her son Shao Ge'er.

Just like at this moment, the words 'I will hold your hand and grow old with you' made her feel uncomfortable.

Only by maintaining a respectable appearance could she avoid exposing her "worthless" self in front of the "sisters" in the courtyard who were looking at her.

Feeling the slight tremor between his palms, Han Shao laughed.

"Wan Niang is joking."

"Even if Shao Ge'er read all the literature and classics in the world, he can't write even one tenth of what my Wan Niang has written."

After saying this, in order to prevent her from losing her composure, Han Shao didn't bother to tease her anymore and hurriedly pulled her slowly through the crowd.

It has to be said that at this moment, Jiang Wan was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and was radiating light all over her body, which made it difficult for people to look directly at her.

It seems that if I look at you one more time, I will feel more ashamed.

Then look at Han Shao who is walking hand in hand with her. He has a face as white as jade, a golden and jade-like appearance, and an extraordinary bearing.

The women became jealous and thought about how they had bravely blocked the door just now.

I even complained in my heart in annoyance.

Well, the clown is me.

……

When a new bride gets married, she must offer tea to her parents and kowtow before leaving to thank them for raising her.

It’s a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Jiang passed away early, which is very regrettable.

But it’s the same with Aunt Jiang around.

"Take care, auntie."

After drinking the tea, Jiang Wan's eyes turned red and she was reluctant to leave.

Aunt Jiang even grabbed her hand, tears in her eyes.

"My dear, when your aunt is not around, you must take good care of yourself and never let yourself down."

To anyone who didn't know, it looked like Jiang Wan was about to marry someone far away.

But in fact, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that Han Shao's new mansion was just a short walk away from Jiang's mansion, but it was really not far away.

Jiang Wan promised.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I will come back to see you often."

As he said this, he pulled his hand back from Aunt Jiang without leaving any trace.

Aunt Jiang, who noticed Jiang Wan's actions, was a little angry and laughed. Then she didn't care about the sadness of marrying off her daughter and said helplessly.

"Forget it. A girl can't be kept when she grows up. If she keeps staying, she will become an enemy. Go, go."

Although she said this, she still felt sorry for her darling daughter and couldn't help but warn her again and again.

"Once you leave this door, don't look back. It's unlucky."

When a woman gets married, she will stay with her husband's family for the rest of her life.

When I go back to my mother's house, I am treated as a guest.

So there is no turning back.

This time, Jiang Wan listened to her aunt very much, and she really had no intention of turning back.

"This is heartless——"

Aunt Jiang was cursing incoherently, crying and laughing at the same time, and her makeup was smudged.

He murmured absentmindedly only after the figures of the newlyweds completely disappeared from his sight.

"My dear girl——"

……

The bride rode on a sedan chair and left Jiang's residence, with music and dance playing all the way.

During this period, he also went to Li Wenjing's Zhenliao Changshi Mansion.

Li Wenjing, who had changed into a festive robe for a rare occasion, sat in the main hall early, waiting for the newlyweds to address him as "father-in-law" and "father" and then serve him tea.

This celestial being of the eighth realm, one of the seventy-two Confucian sages, had his eyes, which were not big to begin with, disappear.

The fake smile he used to have turned into an unprecedented hearty laugh.

"Good! Good daughter! Good son-in-law!"

Then he continued to talk about some words of encouragement and admonition, and let the newlyweds leave.

This was not only because he was considerate of Han Shao's heavy "task" today, but also because he wanted to quit while he was ahead.

After all, Gongsun Du is still waiting.

As the fake father-in-law, he cannot push his luck too far. There is still a long way to go, so the best thing to do is to quit while you are ahead.

……

On the way to Han Shao's residence.

Citizens throughout the city spoke words of joy and congratulations, and stretched their heads to look at the carriage carrying the bride, hoping to catch a glimpse of the celestial beauty of the Duke's wife through the swaying pearl curtains.

This somewhat presumptuous action caused Xiao Yu to frown. Just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Han Shao.

Everyone has curiosity.

It would be ridiculous to think that even a glance at it would be blasphemy.

When they arrived in front of the mansion, the chariot stopped.

Han Shao smiled apologetically, but before he could say anything, Jiang Wan, who was sitting in the carriage, had already gestured with understanding.

"Go ahead, wait until my sister arrives, then we'll get married together."

Although this was something that had been discussed early in the morning, Han Shao still felt a little guilty and touched by Jiang Wan's thoughtfulness.

But there is a long time to go, there is plenty of time to make up for it slowly, and there is no need to rush.

"In that case, Wanniang, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."

It's just saying that it will come soon, but how can it really happen quickly?

They entered the general's mansion and offered a cup of tea to Gongsun Du and his wife.

Although Madam Gongsun was still enthusiastic, she kept on talking to Han Shao and gave him a long lecture.

Obviously, this was to express dissatisfaction to Han Shaoxian for going to Jiang Mansion.

Han Shao had no choice but to endure it.

However, to his surprise, Gongsun Du, who had looked unhappy since he entered the room, suddenly interrupted him.

"Okay, stop dawdling and delay the children's auspicious time."

What does it mean to have a sharp tongue but a soft heart?

Han Shao, the old father-in-law, is one of them.

Moreover, one can imagine how much he will have to pay for his procrastination.

Han Shao felt sorry for his old father-in-law for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

After all, the most important thing at this time is to get a wife home.

As for the life or death of my father-in-law, let’s put it aside for now.

After another embarrassing escape, Han Shao finally arrived outside Gongsun Xinyi's boudoir.

In contrast to the bustling scene where Jiang Wan was crowded with people, her place seemed particularly deserted.

It looked like there were only two or three kittens.

Han Shao was delighted and was glad that he could pass the test as soon as possible.

But a little girl glanced at him arrogantly and said.

"Your name is Han Shao?"

……
