After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion
Chapter 6 Don't Waste the Night
Chapter 6 Don't Waste the Night
In the evening, Mrs. Zhong brought several embroiderers to measure Rong Peilan's body.
Rong Peilan was the only one in the huge room, and she was reading a volume of miscellaneous notes.
"Where's Zhang'er?"
Zhong didn't quite believe that Ji Yunzhang would sit quietly in the study reading and writing.
Rong Peilan put down her book and stood up to greet him, "My husband is out."
Zhong was about to ask why they didn't stop him, but then she thought of her stubborn son, who even she couldn't shake, let alone the new bride.
Zhong sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about him."
She pointed again, "Measure the young lady's body and make a few more clothes for her."
Several embroiderers stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Madam."
Rong Peilan only had a few sets of clothes at Xie's house, and they were all there and not brought over.
She was a little shorter than Xie Shuning, and her cousin's new dresses were too big for her. The ones she was wearing now were bought by the manager of Yuhui Garden from the garment shop.
"Thank you, mother." Rong Peilan opened her arms and let the embroiderer take her measurements.
She also thanked him sincerely. Apart from her parents, Mrs. Zhong was the first one who cared about her food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Mrs. Zhong sat at the table and casually picked up the book she had just been reading and flipped through two pages.
"What are you thanking me for? You are my daughter-in-law. If I don't give you these good things, who else can I give them to?"
Zhong had come to this room countless times, and there was no way that the book could appear here.
There are several books on the table by the window, and it seems that they are read by Rong.
If that brat could study hard under the influence of Rong, and not follow his father's path as a military general, but become a minor official and live a stable life, she would be content.
"Peilan." Looking at Rong Peilan who was being measured, Zhong's tone unconsciously softened.
"Zhang'er is my only son. He has been spoiled since he was young, so he has never liked studying."
"How can a man live in this world without reading?"
"Your father, Mingshi Jushi, was a man of extraordinary talent. Your mother was also a talented woman in the capital. You are also a good child."
"I also hope that you can live a good life, but Zhang'er is a child, so I hope you can give him some advice. I don't ask him to be rich and powerful in this life, I just hope that he can make a living on his own."
Zhong's words were full of emotion and meaning.
Rong Peilan still remembers that her mother held her hand like this before she passed away, worried about her and her young son.
Parents' beloved sons have far-reaching plans for it.
"Mother, I will urge my husband, but everyone has their own strengths. If my husband..."
Rong Peilan hesitated for a moment. If Zhong's expectations were too high, she would be in a difficult situation.
Zhong naturally understood what she meant. Ji Yunzhang was a bad boy with no knowledge at all, so there was no hope that he could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
"I know his abilities, and I just hope he can study hard and become a minor official with the help of his father."
Finally, she added, "If that brat disobeys, just come find me!"
Looking at Mrs. Zhong who was patting her chest to make a promise, Rong Peilan smiled knowingly, "My daughter-in-law understands."
She and Mrs. Zhong smiled at each other. At that moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to have reached some kind of contract and united their front.
On the second floor of Yinhua Tower, the top-notch Miss Qu was playing the piano, while Ji Yunzhang, Jin Shaoyi, the son of the general's mansion, and Xue Jinghe, the third son of Prime Minister Xue's family, were drinking wine under the moon.
Watching a group of young men drinking and having fun.
Jin Shaoyi, "Ji Saner, Shaojie came back yesterday, and the clues are gone."
Ji Yunzhang paused while drinking, his expression remained unchanged, "Did you alert the enemy?"
Jin Shaoyi frowned, "No, it's very strange that the traffickers in Pingshan County disappeared without a trace overnight."
Xue Jinghe leaned back in his chair, holding the wine glass between his index and middle fingers, his eyebrows raised, "San'er, brother has good news."
The windows on the second floor of Yinhua Tower were wide open, and the three of them were toasting each other, looking very carefree.
Xie Shuning was standing downstairs, and as expected, he saw Ji Yunzhang drinking and having fun from the window.
She chuckled, "Ji Yunzhang, in this new life, please don't blame me for disregarding our love for each other. After all, we are husband and wife in name only."
"Ji Saner, you've only been married for two days and you're already out drinking and having fun. Aren't you afraid that your wife will be angry?" Jin Shaoyi is a well-known man in Yanjing who is afraid of his wife. He obviously married the second daughter of Yanjing's most virtuous Grand Tutor Liu, but he turned out to be a henpecked husband who is afraid of his wife.
Ji Yunzhang glanced at him and said, "You look so useless. I, the Third Young Master Ji, can come out whenever I want and drink whenever I want. Why should I have to look at a woman's face?!"
"If Young Master Jin had this kind of potential, he would not be Jin Shaoyi." Xue Jinghe leaned against the back of the chair, looking at Miss Qu with his peach blossom eyes.
The only one among the three who did not marry was Xue San, who walked through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.
When Miss Qu finished singing, she just happened to hear what the two were saying.
"Mr. Ji San is so heartless. I feel so sad for Madam Ji Shao."
Miss Qu's eyes were rolling, and her voice was as melodious as an oriole. "As the saying goes, a woman's marriage is her second reincarnation. Whether her husband is round or flat, she won't know until after marriage."
"If Mr. Ji San came to support me on a normal day, I would be delighted. But if he wanted to exchange another woman's sadness for you, I'm sorry I don't want to entertain him."
After saying that, Miss Qu picked up the piano and left the room.
"Eh!!!"
Prince Ji's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, and Miss Qu's skirt disappeared at the door. It was the first time that someone wanted to chase him, the Third Young Master Ji, away!
A young servant in blue appeared at the door. Jin Shaoyi stood up after seeing him, and then patted Ji Yunzhang on the shoulder, "Yunzhang, you are newlyweds, don't waste this beautiful night."
After saying that, he quickly walked away, "I have to go, or Liu Yaru will lock me out again!"
Jin Shaoyi left, and Xue Jinghe also stood up. He opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap, his eyes full of mockery.
"My eldest brother has left, so I can't stay. If my younger brother and sister-in-law come to cause trouble in the future, I can't afford it."
"!!!"
Ji Yunzhang could only watch as his friends ran away.
The originally bustling room suddenly became empty.
The prince's mouth was still wide open. No! What does his drinking have to do with marriage?
He was so angry that he picked up the wine jug on the table and poured it into his mouth, but there was not even a drop of wine left in the jug.
I don’t know if Miss Qu specifically instructed this, but after calling for a long time, no one came to refill the wine.
Prince Ji, who had been in a good mood listening to music and drinking, now returned to Yuhui Garden with a lot of anger.
Rong Peilan rearranged the bedroom in Yuhuiyuan, replacing the desk under the window with a large table and the antique shelf in the room with a bookshelf.
If there wasn't a step-out bed there, Ji Yunzhang would have thought he had taken the wrong path and ended up in the study.
He frowned in displeasure. He was already angry, and seeing such old books just added fuel to the fire.
"Who told you to touch my room?"
Rong Peilan acted as if she didn't notice his anger and just put a cup of tea in his hand.
"My mother said she wanted to teach me how to manage the household. There are too many account books, so I thought it would be convenient to put them all here."
"The study is so spacious, how can it not put these things in?!"
Rong Peilan took out a candied date from the pouch on her waist and stuffed it into his hand.
"Of course it can be put in the study. Isn't it more convenient to use the room?"
Prince Ji held the candied dates in his hand and threw them into his mouth unconsciously, then drank a cup of tea.
Just with a candied date, a cup of tea, and a few words, he seemed to be calmed down like a furious lion.
The person in front of him was looking up at him with a smile. The delicate girl was not even as tall as his shoulders. Her smooth forehead was fair white, and pearl earrings hung on her small earlobes, which made her neck look even whiter.
She was gentle and pretty, like a lotus bud with dewdrops about to bloom.
For some reason, the words of Jin Shaoyi came to his mind: "Don't waste the beautiful night you have just been married."
Seeing that Ji Shizi had calmed down, Rong Peilan smiled. Naughty? It's not difficult to deal with it.
"Prince, you said that we should be a respectful couple...Ah!!"
Staring at the moist red lips of the person in front of him opening and closing, he picked her up and hugged her horizontally, filling his arms with fragrance.
Prince Ji only felt the alcohol getting to his head at this moment. He could only drink less than half of what he usually did, but today he felt very drunk.
"Madam, you are right. It is convenient in the room."
