Yutai Bi

Chapter 106 Confusion
Cen Sanniang visually estimated that the bedroom was about forty square meters in size.There is a kang under the north window, but unlike the heated kang in the northeast, it is surrounded by carved wooden railings, bedposts are erected, and red embroidered bird silk and satin curtains she brought from Li's house are hung.If I didn't look carefully, I thought it was a dial bed used in the south.

There is a dressing table on one side, and a small double-door cabinet next to the bed. Two red dragon and phoenix candles with thick arms are blowing brightly.

The wardrobe is not like a modern vertical cabinet. Four lipsticks for spring, summer, autumn and winter are lacquered with copper corners and painted with flowers. Large camphorwood boxes are placed in a row against the east wall.Put away her four seasons clothes.Next to the new wardrobe are four older wardrobes, needless to say, they must be Du Yansui's suitcases.

Cen Sanniang knew that most of them were not fully dressed.The more she looked at it, the more ugly she felt, and she thought about finding a carpenter to rebuild it according to her own wishes when she had more spare time.

Under the south window is a low couch for Arhats, with a small table in the middle, and a celadon flower urn with a protruding belly, filled with a lot of pink peach blossoms.It was covered with brocade cushions, and bolsters were placed at either end.There is a row of windows above, and one can imagine the comfort of leaning on it to read a book on a sunny day. She finally felt that this corner was too good to see.

There is a small door on one side of the bedroom, with a colorful embroidered curtain hanging on it.She looked at it when she was changing and washing, it was a clean room.

After looking around, Cen Sanniang felt better, and stepped forward to open Du Yansui's spring suitcase.There are two sets of official uniforms and six sets of dark clothes for going out to meet guests.The materials are all excellent, and the embroidery is also extremely exquisite.There is another one that she made for him during the Lantern Festival.But there are only two coats, which look half-worn.Cen Sanniang couldn't help but laugh.The Du family was struggling outside, as can be seen from Du Yansui's clothes.

After closing the suitcase, she told Xia Chu: "I haven't come back so late, probably because there are too many guests, and my friends in the army are too drunk. Have you prepared the hangover soup?"

"Don't worry, girl, it's hot on the stove in the pantry. The hot bath water has already been prepared, and the kitchen is still burning, and it won't stop tonight." Xia Chu replied with a smile.

Cen Sanniang is a little ashamed to burn the bath water all night today, and the fool knows the reason.She suddenly panicked and thought about everything, but avoided the most important thing.But she wasn't prepared for it at all... "Where's the chicken blood?" She cleared her throat and asked in a low voice.

Xia Chu quickly delivered a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, his face flushed red: "Girl, this is not the way."

"Be prepared." Cen Sanniang took it and stuffed it under the pillow.Glancing at the beginning of Xia, she heard her say in a voice like a gnat: "This servant did it in person, Mother Fang didn't even know."

"Okay." Cen Sanniang smiled.It's good to have smart people around.

At this moment, a commotion was heard outside the door.Ah Qiu didn't fall asleep, even Fang's mother had been waiting in the yard.Fang's mother went up to greet her, and began to report with a loud voice: "Young master is back!"

Aqiu went into the tea room and brought hangover soup.

The door was pushed open vigorously, but it was four people dressed as servants who carried Du Yansui in.

Cen Sanniang helped settle Du Yansui, and without looking at her, Fang's mother took out four purses and stuffed them in: "Everyone has worked hard today, and my girl will reward you."

When they were sent away, Cen Sanniang looked down and saw that Du Yansui's face was red and reeked of alcohol.She ordered with a sigh of relief: "Aqiu put down the hangover soup, I'll take care of my uncle, you all go down and rest."

After closing the door, when she turned her head, Du Yansui sat up straight, looking at her with bright eyes.Cen Sanniang was startled, and subconsciously pressed against the door.

"I drank some, I dare not get drunk. Wait for me for a while." Du Yansui's eyes flickered, he picked up the hangover soup and drank it in one gulp, then turned and entered the clean room.

Cen Sanniang pressed her chest and gasped slightly, feeling worried.I thought he was drunk, so let's talk vaguely tonight.He is not drunk, what next?Eyes closed?Her heart was pounding.Slowly moved to the Arhat couch and sat down.

After waiting for a long time, Du Yansui came out with her hair loose and only wearing a jacket.

The snow-white coat was loose, lining her hair like ink.His face was thin, his long hair was loose, and he was more free and elegant than usual.I remember the first time I saw him at Cen's house, he was still young, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.Since when has he been different from Kong Qing in memory?Maybe Le You Yuan Qiu Lie met him again after more than a year.

She was thinking in a daze, Du Yansui had already approached, and sat down on the other end of the short table: "It's late at night, how about I make a long story short?"

"Oh." Cen Sanniang was overwhelmed by the phrase "It's already late at night".

"The emperor bestowed the marriage, so tomorrow we have to enter the palace to thank you. We will recognize our relatives later on. Only after recognizing relatives can we accompany you back home." Du Yansui felt a little disappointed when she saw her dodging appearance.

"Ah?" Cen Sanniang suddenly realized, "Are you going to enter the palace tomorrow to thank you?"

"Did no one tell you about this etiquette?" Du Yansui smiled wryly.He said softly, "Don't be afraid, just go to kowtow to the emperor to thank you for your kindness. You should get up earlier, and it will be over when the emperor is gone to summon you. If you don't understand, I will tell you slowly later."

When the emperor bestowed a marriage, he had to enter the palace to thank him. All the rich and powerful knew this rule, but Cen Sanniang didn't know it, and everyone thought she knew it.In the panic, Cen Sanniang heard the second piece of news that surprised her tonight.She was extremely embarrassed and a little anxious.From what she knew about the court, the one thing that left the deepest impression on her was: disrespect in front of the imperial court is a felony.

Thinking of this felony, Cen Sanniang became anxious: "I don't know anything about court etiquette, nor do I know what clothes to wear or what jewelry to prepare."

Du Yansui smiled slightly: "You don't have a royal seal, just wear the clothes of a newlywed bride and comb your hair in a more solemn bun, as long as you don't lose your manners."

"So simple?" Cen Sanniang couldn't believe it.

"It's that simple."

"Will the emperor ask me something? How should I answer?" Cen Sanniang asked curiously.

Du Yansui thought for a while and said, "Probably won't ask any questions. It's better to be careful with your words."

Cen Sanniang nodded.

Then I don't know what to say.

Du Yansui was a little tired, stretched out his hands to rub the center of his brows, pulled himself together and said, "I saw brother Jiu, when I went to greet my relatives. He quizzed me, and if I couldn't answer, he wouldn't let me in."

Cen Sanniang smiled: "I like him very much. What did you test you for? He is very proud to be able to study in Songyang Academy."

"It's okay. Passed the test." Du Yansui also smiled.He glanced at Cen Sanniang, finally stood up and said, "Sanniang, I will not deny what I promised you. You sleep on the kang, and I sleep on the couch. I will wake up early tomorrow, and I won't be able to sleep for a few hours. Earlier Rest."

He picked up a brocade quilt from the kang and turned to look at her.

Cen Sanniang got up, stood up, removed the vase, and went to serve the small table.

"I'll do it." Du Yansui put down the quilt, took a few steps ahead, and moved the low table away.

He spread the quilt, walked past her, picked up a square pillow, looked down at the small porcelain vase under the pillow, and a square of pure white satin on the bed, he probably guessed a little bit.Du Yansui turned her head, walked to the couch and lay down, closed her eyes: "Hurry up and sleep, we'll talk about other things after tomorrow."

Cen Sanniang hummed and went to bed.Putting down the curtains, the light of the candles became dim.She closed her eyes, thoughts flooding her mind.It seemed to follow her heart, but it didn't seem to be what she wanted.Cen Sanniang sighed quietly.

Xu missed the biological clock, and Cen Sanniang couldn't sleep.

She remembered that day at Li's house.Du Yansui took the opportunity of giving a metaphor to meet him.He reminded her that probably the only way is to accept the marriage offer.He promised her: "... If you don't want to change your name and leave, I'll find a way."

She really had no choice at the time.The emperor refused to marry Prince Teng, and neither did she.

She couldn't help but refuse a marriage offer.Whether he promised her or not.

Du Yansui slept with her separately today because he wanted to keep her innocence, deal with it, and find a way to let her change her name and leave in the future, right?
Under his promise, although she is married, it seems that she can really choose a new life.How do you want to live?Cen Sanniang silently recalled her thoughts after being reborn as a human being.

When she was in the Cen's house, she was most afraid that the old lady Cen would randomly find a man she didn't like to marry.Not even a chance to break free.At that time, what she most wanted to do was to leave the control of the Cen family and set up a female household in a new way.Be a rich businesswoman in the great Tang Dynasty.In the future, I will meet a man I like, and live a happy life.

Later, King Teng strongly intervened in her life.All she wanted every day was to be out of his sight.She was afraid of him, afraid of the same fate as Xueji and Zhiqiu.He was allowed to come and go, and one who was not happy was killed at will.

Later, she hated Mrs. Li for using her for his title.She didn't want to have anything to do with the emperor's family.The year Du Yansui disappeared, she lived in fear.Up to now, I am confused and don't know the true story of that mysterious hairpin.It was also because of Du Yansui's appearance that she didn't ask any more questions about the identity of Li Jiancheng's granddaughter.

When she woke up, her parents died.She never regarded herself as the daughter of the Cen family, nor as the granddaughter of the Li family.She has no blood relationship with these two families.Oh, except for the lovely Brother Jiu, and Cen Siniang who became friends later.

If the Du family really left one day, it would have nothing to do with her.

In this life, how lonely.

She missed the three years of living with Xu's Baicao in Cen's house.At that time, no matter how much she worried, she was not alone.But they also left.Cen Sanniang turned over and hugged the quilt tightly in her arms.
