On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 287 The Big Wedding
Xiao Xiao glanced at the empty wedding room and lay back: "I haven't dared to relax this whole day, how can I not be tired?"

"Now that I can finally lie down, I feel relieved."

She is not a fool. When the eldest sister and the second sister got married, she had heard about the excitement in the wedding room.

Now, compared with myself, isn't I just sitting on the bench?

But she really won't feel disappointed about this, nor will she feel inferior, nor will she have any conflicts with Li Yan because of it.

Quietness also has the advantage of being quiet. The two of them can talk freely, and she can really relax.

Now I am lying on the wedding couch, looking at the curtain above which is also bright red and embroidered with auspicious patterns of gourds, pomegranate flowers and children. I am a little unbelievable: "I didn't expect that I would really get married."

In my previous life, I was almost thirty and not yet married, but in this life I got married when I was only sixteen.

Thinking about it this way, when I am in my mid-thirties, I might be able to send my daughter off to get married and become a grandmother.

No, according to the name here, I am my grandmother.

It's really amazing.

Li Yan thought in his mind that if there was no liveliness in the wedding room, his wife would be uneasy, disappointed, or worried.

But he didn't expect that she would talk to him so easily and comfortably, as if she was supposed to live in her own room.

Whether she didn't understand or did it on purpose to avoid embarrassment, Li Yan felt very happy.

He stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Xiao's hand and smiled. He was afraid that she would cry and he didn't dare to say the words, but he said it naturally: "The new house is not lively, I feel sorry for you."

"No grievance." Xiao Xiao smiled at him: "I don't want to deal with strangers either."

"Besides, can I talk to my husband without outsiders?"

Li Yan almost got lost in her clear and smart eyes. He couldn't help but reached out and caressed her soft and white cheeks: "Xiao Xiao, I'm very happy too."

Xiao Xiao took advantage of the situation and stood up with his hand, smiled at him and said: "Husband, we will have many opportunities to talk in the future, why don't you go outside to accompany the guests first?"

She winked at him again and said playfully: "Madam and grandmothers don't dare to offend mother, but mother can't win over the guests outside."

In fact, Xiao Xiao also understands the female relatives who come to drink wedding wine.

People also gave serious gifts, just to join in the fun, have a drink, feel some joy, and just keep in touch with each other.

How could they have the nerve to say no when Mrs. Li invited them to join in the fun at her own son's wedding room?

Moreover, they don’t know me, and even if they do, they won’t risk offending Mrs. Li to see her.

Xiao Xiao was just a little confused: "I thought I could see my aunt?"

Li Yan also knew that the aunt she was talking about was her biological mother.

He lowered his eyes: "It's not appropriate for my aunt to appear on such an occasion. We can see my aunt tomorrow."

This is the difference between wives and concubines.

The concubine is half slave and half master, and can only be regarded as half master. Even to her own children, she cannot call them by their first names.

What Mrs. Li likes most is that when her husband goes to her place for dinner, she has her aunts wait on him.

Because whether it is a family banquet, a celebration banquet, or a birthday banquet, my aunt will not attend.

Now when there is a happy event in the house, the aunts have to avoid it and will only send a table of wine and food to their rooms.

Of course, in other houses, there are also mistresses who are more generous, or who don't take their husband's things seriously, and will let the aunts sit and eat together.

Xiao Xiao also knew that he had said the wrong thing.

She was secretly annoyed because she had heard it mentioned by the female gentleman who was invited to teach her the rules, so why did she forget about it?

She admitted her mistake obediently: "I said the wrong thing, I will be more careful in the future."

Anyway, I never dare to say that I will never say the wrong thing again. I don’t have confidence that I won’t make the same mistake again.

Looking at him again: "But don't worry, I will protect my aunt from now on."

Even though the aunt is half slave and half master, there is no rule that she cannot interact with the mistresses and girls in the house.

It's a pity that the Li family is thin and there are no girls.

And the aunts cannot see their parents' family again without the wife's permission.

Of course, the girls from Madam's natal family, or relatives and friends, would not get too close to the aunts, which would make Madam Li unhappy.

When Li Yan heard her words, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in his eyes, which pierced into Xiao Xiao's heart: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Xiao swallowed: "No, you're welcome!"

Yaoshou, how can a man look so good in a red wedding dress?

The cautious self almost turned into a chatterbox.

Li Yan saw that she was really not disappointed and would not cry secretly after he left, so he asked his mother-in-law to bring wine and food and let her eat slowly while he went to the front to accompany the guests.

The meals should be cooked in a small stove, including lotus seeds, peanuts, longan and lily soup, as well as stewed ginseng chicken soup, ginseng and pigeon soup, and cuttlefish soup.

There are also red date cakes, mung bean cakes and lily cakes.

Xiao Xiao thought that Li Yan had someone send it to him, and it should be safe. After tasting it, he thought it tasted good, so he ate it happily.

When she stopped using her chopsticks, she felt that she was a little full, so she just walked around the room, looking at the decorations in the room, and eating in the meantime.

All the furniture and ornaments in the new house, even the screens and curtains, are her dowry, so they really don't feel strange to them.

After all, she personally handled the dowry.

After wandering around for a few times, I thought of what I had eaten earlier.

Li Yan is rarely in the house, so he definitely doesn't have a small kitchen in his yard.

Thinking about the dishes that were delivered, all of which were stew-based, Aunt Mo must have prepared them for her.

It seems that I have to prepare a few stoves in the yard.

Besides, Li Yan was in the guardhouse and it would be difficult to transfer him back in the past two years. She wanted to follow him there.

Of course, women's family members are not allowed to enter the health center. Many women's family members of Baihu, Zongqi, and Xiaoqi families rent houses not far from the health center.

But she can live in Xutian Village or Wuning County, so that she can freely practice archery, hunt, or do some small business.

Otherwise, it would be okay to eat, drink, play, and sleep for a while in the house, but if you continue to live like this, people will develop inertia.

But these are things to consider later. She just wants to take a bath, change clothes, and have a good sleep now.

As for the wedding night and so on, don't even think about it.

The two families had agreed before the wedding that she was still young and would wait until next spring to consummate the marriage.

Then of course she would be sleepy after she had eaten and drank enough.

Fortunately, the two women and two maids came to Li's Mansion with the dowry yesterday.

Mrs. Wu has gone back today, but all the maids and wives must have stayed behind. They were all her dowry in the first place.

When Cao Cao arrived, there was a knock on the door: "Girl."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Xiao wanted to maintain a good image and quickly sat back on the wedding bed before saying, "Come in."

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Yan came in first, carrying buckets in both hands, and the two maids Menghui and Yiqian behind them came in carrying washbasins.
