Mountains and rivers fall into red

Chapter 56
"Please, let him go, don't have anything to do with him anymore. You and I are sisters. I, Zheng Yi, really think that I don't owe you anything. Why do you want to grab a man with me?"

"I didn't, I really didn't." Xiuxiu was eager to explain, "You also know that I'm married, but I really didn't know that His Highness the Third Highness would appear. Miss Yizhen, no, Third Prince and Concubine, I really don't want this ,You have to believe me!"

"Do you dare to swear? I won't see him again?" Yizhen asked back, her face was hidden in the dark night, and she couldn't see any emotions.

Xiuxiu thought of the Ruiyu in his hand in a trance, and something touched him deeply.After a moment of hesitation, Fang lowered her head weakly, and she said slowly, "I swear."

A gleam of joy flashed across Yizhen's face, looking at Xiuxiu's leaving back, her brows frowned even deeper.

"The third concubine." Jiang Chen flashed out from the shadows.

Yizhen didn't look at Jiang Chen, and said in a low voice, "You are one step too late, His Highness took her away first."

"Hey, he was caught by the girl in the room, and almost killed the wrong person." Jiang Chen replied.

"Are you showing mercy?" Yizhen just smiled, dissatisfied, "She swears not to see the Third Highness, and the Third Highness may not be willing to let her go. You and I have to find a chance to avenge our personal enmity. Remember, don't kill the wrong person next time. "

She smiled viciously, wrapped herself around Mrs. Tang, and walked away.

The spring breeze hit his face, and the bone-piercing chill made even Jiang Chen shiver.

When Xiuxiu returned to Han Garden, the sky was getting dark.It was quiet outside the courtyard, except for the two lanterns with Chinese characters for happiness hanging high on the eaves of the door, swaying in the night wind.

Hearing the knock on the door, the young man opened the door, looked at her in surprise, then ran to the inner garden, shouting as he ran, "Madam is back! Madam is back!"

Ni Xiu'e was the first to come over with her clothes on, and took Xiuxiu's hand: "Amitabha, you scared me to death. The eldest prince said that you will be fine, those strongmen just want some money and things. It's good that you come back, and it's okay when you come back." it is good."

Xiuxiu was suspicious and was about to speak when he raised his eyes and saw Tianji standing there with a gloomy face, and then he woke up. Tianji realized that she was missing, so he must be in a hurry, she will explain to him.She couldn't help feeling guilty, and smiled apologetically at him.

Ni Xiu'e pulled her son in front of Xiuxiu, and said angrily: "Silly boy, my wife is back. Don't just stand there, seeing that Xiuxiu's hands are cold from the cold, you can accompany her into the house to warm up and have a rest. I'll get you some hot bowls." Longan soup."

Tianji walked in silently, Xiuxiu followed him, and the two entered the bridal chamber together.

The furnace in the room is smoky and fragrant, the dragon and phoenix candles have long been burned out, and the lacquered canna carved on the painting screen has been blurred.Through the splendid curtains, the furnishings on the bed were faintly presented in front of their eyes.

Xiuxiu's heart tightened, and she couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Where's Yanxi?"

"Do you still remember her?" Tianji was still angry, his voice was dull, "I sent her to the Shen family for treatment."

"What happened to her? Who hurt her?" Xiuxiu asked anxiously.

Tianji became angrier and said, "Ask the question knowingly. Besides that Xiao Kui who snatched the marriage in the middle of the night, who else would it be?"

"So you already know. But Xiao Kui didn't hurt Yanxi. Besides, he's not such a person."

"At this juncture, you are still protecting him! And your father, you are missing, he is not in a hurry, and he knows who did it. He and Xiao Kui have already colluded. Come on, wait until our wedding day!" Tianji became more and more annoyed as he spoke, and he couldn't help raising his voice.

Xiuxiu hurriedly hissed, and said softly, "Will you listen to my explanation?"

Tianji wanted to continue talking, but when he heard his mother knocking on the door, he went silent and went to open the door.Ni Xiu'e came in with longan soup, smilingly persuading Xiuxiu to eat it.He brought in a red lacquered wooden basin filled with hot water, and let Xixiu wash and tidy up. Then he looked at his son and daughter-in-law in peace, and took the door out.

The mother was here, and neither of them could say anything, so they smiled and obeyed the mother's wishes.After Ni Xiu'e left, the atmosphere in the room became cold again.

Under the dim light and shadow, Xiuxiu was sitting beside the Luan mirror, holding an ivory comb in his hand, his long black hair was hanging down, emitting a dark light.Tianji was leaning against the lintel of the bed in silence, but suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Brother Tianji!" Xiuxiu saw Tianji's movements in the mirror, hurriedly put down the ivory comb in his hand, stood up and spoke to him, "Brother Tianji, listen to me, I really didn't know last night—"

Tianji stopped her: "There's no need to explain, I already know." Seeing her anxious look, her tone seemed gentle, "You rest first, I'll go to the study." After finishing speaking, he closed the door and went out.

The dew is heavy, the fog is thick, and the surrounding trees are stacked with cold smoke and cold.Tianji sat alone on the railing next to the long corridor for a while, but finally couldn't resist the invasion of the cold, and walked slowly towards the bookstore.

After passing the mother's room, there was a faint sound of knocking on wooden fish.He stopped and listened quietly.He lingered there for a while, turned back, and walked towards the bridal chamber again.

The red candles are exhausted, and the sky shines on the window lattices.The person on the bed has already fallen asleep, thinking that he has something on his mind, his brows are slightly frowned.

Xiuxiu vaguely felt that Tianji had returned, and stood in front of her and looked down at her.She opened her lazy eyes slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The extreme sleepiness made her fall into a deep sleep again.

Birds chirping outside the window, Xiuxiu woke up, turned around to look, and there was nothing around her.

She recalled carefully, but her mind was still blank.She stared blankly at the embroidered curtain on the bed for a long time, finally sighed, straightened up and looked around, but there was no silhouette of Tianji, the bridegroom's wedding dress was hanging on the sandalwood chair, so she called out: "Yanxi."

Seeing no movement, it occurred to him that Yan Xi was injured and sent to the prime minister's residence.The experience of last night was so overwhelming that she actually sat there with her eyes wide open for a long while.

Remembering that she is married now, she finished washing and washing herself, and put on a crimson purple double wrinkled twig skirt.After entering the kitchen to prepare the dishes, she carried them carefully and entered Ni Xiu'e's room.

Ni Xiu'e accepted the new daughter-in-law's meal with full of joy. Seeing that Xiuxiu's face was the same, she calmed down and said with a smile, "Tianji went to the government office early in the morning to do business, and said that you were a deep sleeper, so I won't wake you up. This child, newly married Day, what are you doing outside?"

Xiuxiu thought for a while and replied: "Brother Tianji was taught by Master Ji, but because of my quarrel with Master Ji, he has always been in a state of anxiety. Now he has used all the troops of the whole country to attack Chen, but there will be endless troubles if there is any dispute between the court. At a time of internal and external troubles , as ministers and workers, it is better for everyone to be diligent in political affairs."

Ni Xiu'e nodded frequently when she heard this, touched Xiuxiu's hand and said, "Good boy, I know you well. Mother is only your daughter-in-law, but she is closer than a daughter-in-law. You two are together, and it is also the blessing of the Four Treasures. Mother has nothing to say , I just hope that you two will love each other so that your mother can hold your grandson as soon as possible."

Xiuxiu blushed and nodded with a smile.

Xin Yang came over with a letter, saying that Yan Xi was only traumatized and would recover after a period of cooking.Xiuxiu felt relieved, and Tuo Xinyang brought a few boxes of supplements, and gave him several instructions.

In the evening, Skyrim hadn't come back yet.Dried vegetable barbecue, drunken chicken, sashimi, yellow croaker soup are already set on the table, and the rice is made of fragrant rice, these are Tianji's favorite food.Ni Xiu'e beamed and praised her daughter-in-law several times.

Tianji was late, so Xiuxiu reheated the cold fish soup.Meanwhile, Tianji drank silently, one cup after another.Xiuxiu felt ashamed, so she helped pour the wine beside her.Ni Xiu'e originally wanted to persuade her son to drink less, seeing how harmonious the young couple was, it was hard to stop her.

By the time the dinner was over, Moon Wave had already climbed up the branches.

Luanfeng tents, mandarin duck brocades, and dragon and phoenix candles were lit again, but Tianji took the quilt and went to sleep on the long couch by himself.Xiuxiu knew that Tianji had a knot in her heart, and she was still brooding over the matter of the wedding night, thinking that it was due to Tianji's temperament, that she had gotten into a dead end, and it was useless to explain more, maybe she would figure it out tomorrow.

The newlyweds slept separately, and this situation lasted for three nights.

On the fourth day, Tianji went out again early in the morning.Xiuxiu was filled with guilt and felt uncomfortable with Tianji's indifference, so she silently shed a few tears.

Then, she pretended to be okay and went into Ni Xiu'e's room.

The room was neatly tidied up, and there were two large bundles on the bed conspicuously placed there.Xiuxiu was surprised and said, "Mother, do you want to go back?"

"Mother came in a hurry and didn't explain the family's affairs well. Spring is here, and the tea garden mother is worried and must go back."

"Mum, it's not too late to go back after staying a few more days."

"It's too late. It's very cold here in Jiangling. It seems that there will be a few spring snows. Then it will be difficult for my mother to go back. Besides, you and Tianji are newlyweds. Your old face is in front of you all day. It doesn't look good when you come and go. Wait until the second half of the year, when you have a baby in your womb, mother will come over again, and then you won't be able to drive me away even if you want to."

What he said made Xiuxiu blush and felt a little sad, and said: "As soon as my mother left, Xiuxiu felt as if he had nowhere to go. In a few days, when the attack on Chen is over and the court is stable, Brother Tianji and I will return to Mengmata. The county kowtows to my mother."

Ni Xiu'e sighed: "Master Shen marrying a daughter is like pouring water. I don't know what to say. Whatever it is, he won't stop you when you go back to Mengyu County. I'll give your mother some advice and let her A little bit of preparation."

When the dust settled, Xiuxiu had married her son, so she naturally no longer shy away from Cao Guizhi.

At noon, Skyrim returned.The young couple had lunch with Ni Xiu'e and helped Ni Xiu'e into the carriage.Tianji rode horses to escort them to the pier, and when the boat sailed, the two came back reluctantly.

On the way back, Tianji pushes that the government has a dinner party at night, and orders the coachman to take Xiuxiu home directly.Seeing his pale face, Xiuxiu told him to go home early.

Skyrim hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

At night, the wind was strong, the wind trees knocked through the cold, and the leaves in the Han Garden were also falling, which was bleak. Only the word "Xi" pasted on the door lintel added a bit of vitality to the bleakness of the garden.

Tianji walked into the house alone, with his boots stepping on the bluestone slabs, in the silence there were only the sound of footsteps, his own breathing, and the messy sound of the wind.

Maybe he drank too much wine and was a little drunk, he squinted at Han Yuan's appearance, and suddenly felt very strange.

There is a woman waiting for him in the new house, which he has been longing for for a long time.When she really belonged to him, he realized that she was still far away from him.There are many things in my mind that are hard to get rid of, and my thoughts are wandering aimlessly. In this extremely cold weather, even my body is about to freeze into ice.

When the servant came out of the room, he was shocked to find the master standing silently at the door.He hurriedly bent over to salute, only looked back lightly, and left with his head down.

The sky did not make a sound, and through the floor-to-ceiling curtains, I only felt that the room was as warm as Yangchun, and a clear orchid fragrance was refreshing.Xiuxiu sat on the sandalwood couch in a trance, holding a glazed object in his hand, staring blankly at the night outside the window.Seeing Tianji come in, she showed a faint smile, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

The hot air of the red charcoal fire hit the face, and Tianji's face was flushed, and he said softly: "What are you thinking?"

Xiuxiu smiled, revealing a bit of innocence: "Mother is gone, and you are not here. The house is so quiet. No one talks, so I have to talk to the clay doll."

Tianji was also attracted by the objects in Xixiu's hands. He saw two glazed porcelain beggar dolls the size of palms, with round faces and red shirts embroidered with the word "Fu". They were very naive.He stretched out his hand, caressing the round face of the porcelain doll, and said softly: "Do you still remember? We played with this when we were young, and I broke it somehow, and my mother almost beat my ass to pieces."

When talking about his childhood, he suddenly laughed out loud.In the blink of an eye, Xiuxiu's gentle eyes were looking at him with a sad and wronged look.

The heat flowed through the whole body, Tianji's heart tightened, and he couldn't help hugging Xiuxiu, as if facing a long-lost relative: "Xiuxiu..."

His tone was very tender, and Xiuxiu was so moved that he wanted to cry, so he let Tianji hold him, choked his throat and said, "Let's not quarrel, shall we?"

With red eyes, Tianji lowered his head to kiss Xixiu.

The room suddenly fell silent.

The candlelight is like orchid, blooming upward wantonly.Tianji only wore a snow silk underwear and snow white silk trousers.The candlelight reflected on the two of them, casting heavy shadows.From the perspective of the sky, only Xiuxiu's slender silhouette can be seen, and the frivolous Luoshang under the lamp is like a cluster of blooming flowers in the twilight, so white that it touches one's heart.The ups and downs were intertwined for a while, and the slightly astringent sweetness made his whole body and mind become moist.

He sighed, and said with happiness on his face: "Xiuxiu, we will be husband and wife tonight."

His gentle voice was contagious to Xiuxiu. Xixiu thought that Tianji had already figured it out and didn't care about what happened that night anymore, so she grinned at him in relief.
