Chapter 312 Returning

The green hut made of curtains is ventilated and cool after dark.

Xue Bai then said: "Let's go back to the house."

"Can I go back to the house?" Yan Yanjiu had already woken up and asked, "Are there any etiquette?"

"Ignore the etiquette." Xue Bai felt a little sleepy and said casually: "The guests have left, we make our own decisions."

Qing Lan then added: "Yes, the wife is the mistress, and the mistress takes charge of household matters."

"Am I the one who makes the decision?" Yan Yan muttered, rolling her eyes as she wondered what she had in mind.

Xue Bai took a lantern and took her to the backyard. He couldn't see the gravel path clearly in the night, so he naturally held her hand, feeling that it was very cold.

Yan Yan felt that Xue Bai's palm was big and warm. She was afraid of freezing him, so she raised her head and saw that he was looking at the road intently, so she silently felt the warmth.

Xue Bai said: "You are leaving home for the first time tonight. I must be worried about you, right?"

"Um."

Yan Yan responded in a muffled voice at first, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not a child anymore."

Xue's house was very big, but there were not many servants. It looked deserted. It wasn't until we got to the main house and saw the lights brightly lit that we felt warm.

The bride's belongings have been put in, including a large wardrobe, a dressing table, a big red box on the floor, and a brand-new red silk quilt... This was arranged by Mrs. Cui herself. Mrs. Cui burst into tears during the wedding ceremony.

She looks more like Yan Yan's biological mother.

"Did you drink today's medicine?" Xue Bai asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang." Yong'er replied, "I've already drank."

"But I'm hungry." Yan Yan said, "I haven't been allowed to eat for a whole day. It seems like the bride only goes hungry."

Rather than saying she was hungry, it was better to say she was greedy. The dishes at today's wedding banquet were rich and delicious. When she was sitting in the green hut, Li Jilan secretly brought some of various dishes to her.

Eating this way is very unsatisfactory.

Since the mistress had spoken, Xue Bai asked the kitchen to bring some food.

At that time, people held a banquet and had a big dish called "Hun Yang Shi Hu". Glutinous rice and spices were stuffed into the belly of a goose, and then the goose was stuffed into the belly of the sheep to roast. Because mutton, goose meat, and spices were more expensive than each other, so

Nobles especially like to use this dish to show their status...Xue Bai doesn't like it, because he thinks the taste of the mutton fat is not delicious.

Therefore, today’s wedding banquets mostly consist of delicate dishes. Depending on the meat quality of different parts of the mutton, it should be grilled, pan-fried, and stir-fried. You can’t eat it stir-fried at this time, but you can serve it.

The charcoal stove is in the yard, roasting some lamb tenderloin.

The Sichuan peppercorns are ground into powder, mixed with a little salt and sesame seeds and sprinkled on the freshly oiled meat. It is very fragrant.

"Are you ready?" Yan Yan came forward, stretched out her hand to warm the food on the stove, and sniffed.

"Come on, have you taken off your makeup?"

"Of course, take a look."

Xue Bai looked at her face and saw that the skin on her face was smooth and delicate, and could be broken with a blow... He couldn't tell whether she had applied makeup or not.

"It's really unruly to eat this on the wedding night, isn't it?" Yan Yan said, taking the meat skewers handed over by Xue Bai, blowing on them carefully and taking a small bite. It was so delicious that it was bubbling.

Feel.

Xue Bai watched her blowing and avoided looking.

He felt even more unnatural when he heard her say "bridal chamber".

"As expected of the boss behind Fengweilou." Yan Yan patted him on the shoulder and praised him.

It seems that Xue Baixian never received such praise from her even when he won the first prize.

"My barbecue skills are not very good. The key lies in the concept of cooking food."

"Brother is talking nonsense again."

Yan Yan was so happy with her meal that she forgot all about it and called "Brother" smoothly. She realized something was wrong first and hurriedly called Qing Lan and Yong'er to eat quickly to cover up the past.

She had big eyes and a small belly. She had just complained that she was hungry, but she had not eaten much and was already full, so she yawned.

Yong'er quickly started to wash up.

As a newly married woman, it was inevitable that there would be many inconveniences. She would look for a basin and ask where to get water. The more Yan Yan waited, the more sleepy she became. She stood there as if she was about to fall asleep. From time to time, she glanced at Xue Bai secretly, her eyes a little dodgy.

Xue Bai had been busy all day and didn't want to accompany her in such a leisurely manner. He changed into his spring clothes and lay down on the side of the bed to sleep.

The new thick and soft bedding is very comfortable.

Just lying like this, he seemed to feel the happiness of getting married.

After finally washing up over there, Yong'er was about to leave, but found that Yan Yan was holding her hand and wouldn't let go.

"Sanniang... No, madam. What's wrong, madam?"

"Let's talk together. Qinglan will come too."

Yan Yan was obviously sleepy, so she insisted on holding Qing Lan and Yong'er to continue the conversation. She didn't dare to let go until she peeked at Xue Bai who had fallen asleep.

Xue Bai knew that she was a little scared, but he didn't say anything, thinking that she was still too young...

The newlyweds are actually very familiar with each other, and they don't feel awkward lying together.

The candlelight was blown out, and he lay there and gradually fell into a deep sleep. As he fell asleep, a pair of cold little hands reached into his arms and held him there.

~~

Li Tengkong took the scissors and cut off a small section of the candle wick to make the candle flame brighter.

She didn't have to do this little thing herself, but she and her brothers and sisters were standing in the lobby. If she didn't do something, she would be even more uncomfortable.

The lights in the hall were brightly lit, and everyone was waiting for Li Linfu to wake up.

"The phase must have been lost, right? I even fainted in front of the saint."

The speaker was Qi Lang Li Yu. Although he had not gone to Xue Bai's wedding, he had heard Li Xiu's general remarks and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Li Xiu's face was deep and he murmured: "If it's just the phase, that's it. The most worrying thing is..."

He didn't go on. Over the years, Li Linfu's attacks on Wei Jian and Wang Zhongsi were directed at the East Palace, forcing Li Heng to divorce his wife twice. At present, Zhang Bian and Li Heng have a good relationship. Once he becomes prime minister, he will only

I'm afraid that the Li family will be used to establish their prestige first.

"I told you a long time ago that I should have made preparations in advance." Thirteenth Prince Li Wei complained: "When I wanted to make friends with Xue Bai, he had to ground me, but now it's better. If my grandfather falls down, my whole family will be shaken."

There is no one who can stand up to the problem."

The words were directed at Li Xiu, which immediately aroused the minds of many people, and they began to mention, consciously or unconsciously, how to separate the families.

This was another trouble that Li Xiu encountered. He was not the eldest son and had many brothers. Once Li Linfu lost power, he would not even be able to serve the public at home.

He sometimes thought that my grandfather had offended so many people. After he was dismissed as prime minister, it would be better to divide the family property and let the brothers avoid trouble on their own. But... as his most valued son, he should always share more.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the atmosphere in the hall.

Li Tengkong didn't want to get involved in this, but she couldn't leave. She could cut off candle wicks, but couldn't cut off worries, so she simply closed her eyes and meditated, silently reciting Taoist scriptures.

"Seventeen." Li Shiniang came over and whispered: "You have medical skills and know when grandpa will wake up, right?"

"Grandpa, you should rest more."

"Sure enough." Li Shiniang smiled slightly proudly, realized something was wrong, and immediately stopped, saying: "I think you are the most capable in this family."

"What is the use of a Taoist who is quiet and inactive?"

"You heard that they are all worried about the prince, Zhang Bian, but in the long run, who is the most worthy of friendship? The noble concubine's sworn brother, the saint personally went to his wedding banquet, and he has been appointed as an official Yushitai at a young age..."

Li Shiniang kept chattering for her own purpose, and finally asked: "Can you ask Xue Bai? Recommend your brother-in-law to be a minister. I heard from Xuan Lang that he encouraged Zhang Bian to compete with my grandfather for the position.

In fact, Zhang Bian recommended many people."

"At this time of year, the fortunes and disasters of moving to an official position are unpredictable." Li Tengkong did not open his eyes and shook his head lightly, "And I have no such friendship with Xue Bai."

"Seventeen, Xuanlang and I treated you well in the past."

Li Shiniang didn't realize that there had been a big change in her family, and her behavior of pursuing personal gain was extremely inappropriate. She even begged: "I'm not teaching you a lot about what you do. Now that we have difficulties,

Don’t you care about me?”

After begging for a while, Li Shiniang couldn't help but get annoyed when she saw that Li Tengkong still didn't respond, and deliberately stabbed Li Tengkong's sore spot a little.

"That's all, Xue Bai must be having sex with his wife at the bridal chamber right now. You and he may not really have that kind of friendship."

Li Tengkong was taking care of his grandpa, but he still couldn't think about these things. He was stunned when he heard this.

Li Shiniang said again: "I heard that the young lady of the Yan family met Xue Bai through being a close friend with you. You did the same, and personally helped others steal things that were yours. You and I

To be honest, are you jealous?"

"..."

Li Tengkong stayed up all night, enduring all the messy and annoying things in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Until the morning drum sounded, Li Linfu woke up.

A maid came over and said, "Seventeenth Mother, Alang invites you to come over."
To be continued...
