wedding dress

Chapter 147
Mrs. Hu is really a good hand in housekeeping and directorship. Although this is a completely unfamiliar environment, she came back with food after going out for a while.

"The princess will fill his stomach first, and if it is not enough, I will ask for more."

"No need, I can't eat those meaty ones now." Light ones are fine.

Xiaodong picked up the chopsticks, but thought that there was something more urgent than eating.

Wash your face.

After changing three basins of water, Xiaodong finally washed his face clean.When wiping off the water droplets, she really had the feeling of "skin breathing".The two basins of water brought out just now, especially the first one, were as muddy as noodle soup.Xiaodong finally understood why the river flowing out of the palace was called the Rouge River. If all the women in the palace poured their washing water into the river, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the red mud at the bottom of the river could wash out rouge.

She has always disliked heavy makeup, and this is the first time in her two lifetimes combined.

Being a bride is inevitable this time, right?Aren't modern brides transformed beyond recognition when they get married?
"Mother Hu, have you eaten?"

"We've already stuffed our stomachs just now, so hurry up and eat."

Xiaodong smiled and buried himself in eating noodles.It was just a bowl of simple noodles, four side dishes, and a bowl of soup. Xiaodong was so hot that he drank half a bowl of soup first, and then ate a lot of shredded cucumbers in sauce, but he didn't eat much noodles.

"Is there a table ahead?"

"That's right." Mrs. Hu said, "A lot of people came today, and I saw the fifth son-in-law and the sixth son-in-law."

"Huh? Are they here?"

"The sixth son-in-law and Mr. Qin are friends, and the fifth son-in-law is probably brought here by the way. After all, they will be considered brothers-in-law."

This is true.Xiao Dong and the princesses are cousins, so wouldn't Qin Lie and these sons-in-law become brother-in-law?

"This chef's craftsmanship is really good, and the taste of what he cooks is very similar to that in the palace."

Hu smiled: "That's what Mrs. Liu did."

"what?"

"The new house here is just an empty house after it's been repaired. My uncle doesn't have any servants in the capital. Now the people in the house are all arranged by the prince's son."

Xiaodong blinked—uh, now Qin Lie has really become a married woman.

But he didn't care anyway.

It's time to light the lamps, and now Xiaodong has the time to take a good look at the new house.She embroidered the curtains by herself. Hongfu and the others lifted the covers on the bed, and at the same time packed up all the things left by the tent on top. Xiaodong was just worrying about how to sleep on the messy bed. So easy to pack up.

Everything in the house made Xiaodong feel familiar—it was arranged according to her habit in Yufang Pavilion, where the bed was placed, where the suitcase was, where the dressing table was, even the orientation of the windows, and the inside of the room. The incense burnt is exactly the same.

This made Xiaodong not feel strange at all, as if he was not in a brand new place, but still living in the palace.

Although Xiaodong had seen the sample pictures of the house, she didn't pay much attention to the layout of the house, only the style and size of the furniture.

Mrs. Hu loosened Xiaodong's hair, combed it into a cloudy bun, and put a bright red silk flower on her temple.Xiaodong's face was reflected in the mirror. After washing off the makeup, her skin was flushed and her eyes were shining brightly.Hu Shi smiled at her from behind, and that smile contained many meanings.

"You can rest for a while, I'm afraid my uncle will not be back for a while."

Xiaodong nodded, she was indeed tired.

Leaning on the soft couch, she was in a daze, listening to the faint noise coming from the front yard.

How is Prince An's Mansion going now?What is Wang An doing?What about Zhao Lu?The guests must have dispersed, right?Yufang Pavilion has also been empty.

She turned over, and after an unknown amount of time, Xiaodong suddenly felt warm and itchy on her face.She opened her eyes, and Qin Lie sat beside her, smiling slightly at her: "Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

"I've eaten."

"What to eat?"

Xiaodong pointed to him with a wrench: "Noodles, pickled cucumbers, cold bamboo shoots, ham..."

Qin Lie smiled and said: "Then I don't worry for nothing. I also want to tell you that there are some snacks in this room. Let you put some cushions first." He opened a drawer and took out an eight-compartment lacquer box. Packed with various cakes and snacks that Xiaodong likes.

"You prepared it?"

"That's right, no one can starve you when you're hungry."

Xiaodong smiled: "Have you eaten? The table in front is over?"

"Not yet, I sneaked back first." Qin Lie said: "Just now I found something to pad my stomach, otherwise I can't drink on an empty stomach. Thanks to the anti-alcoholic medicine you gave me earlier, I ate one before toasting, and it really worked.”

"It was given by my brother."

Although Zhao Lu was always picky about Qin Lie, but the matter was a foregone conclusion. With Zhao Lu's temperament of protecting his weaknesses, of course he couldn't let his sister-in-law get drunk.The anti-alcoholic medicine is a prescription from the palace, and it is said to be very effective.

He was still wearing a bright red auspicious suit, and there was a smell of alcohol in his breath.It's not very strong, but... Xiaodong thinks maybe they are too close, so she feels Qin Lie's body is so hot.

"Are you still out?"

"I'm not going. I pretended to be drunk and was sent back just now. Someone in front supported me."

"Then change your clothes." Xiaodong pointed to the boots under his feet: "I don't think you're used to wearing these."

"Ah."

Xiaodong sat up, there were only the two of them in the room, no one else.

Although she had never done any work of taking care of and serving people, Xiaodong was no stranger to it. She found a set of casual clothes from the suitcase and handed it to Qin Lie.Qin Lie had already taken off the gauze cap on his head, and loosened his belt.

Xiaodong stuffed the clothes into his hands: "Here you are."

Qin Lie smiled and moved his face closer: "Aren't you going to change it for me?"

"Hey, change it yourself."

Xiaodong's face was flushed, Qin Lie smiled and went to take a bath and change clothes with his clothes in his hands.Xiaodong thought of the novels she had read before, in which the bride and groom didn’t change their clothes or wash their faces at the wedding night, they just hugged and rolled the sheets—the bride didn’t feel uncomfortable with the pink sweat all over her face?
When Qin Lie came back, he was completely dressed at home. It was the first time Xiaodong saw him with disheveled hair and bare feet. He came in wearing only his inner garment and a robe.Her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders.

"I don't even dry my hair." Xiaodong took a cloth towel and said, "Sit down."

Qin Lie sat down very obediently, and Xiao Li brushed his hair finely.

Qin Lie leaned back comfortably, and sighed, "It's nice to have a daughter-in-law, this is how people live."

Xiaodong burst out laughing: "What do you mean, it seems that you used to live a life that was not human?"

"Of course not." Qin Lie waved his hand: "It goes without saying when you're on the road outside, even if you go back to Suizhou, it's hard to eat hot food. Not to mention in the capital. He wants to help me with laundry and doing chores, but one or two are not the materials for this. I have washed and thrown away several pieces of clothes, and things are also thrown away—" Qin Lie held Xiaodong's wrist: "Actually ...It doesn't matter. It's just that when I'm alone, I always feel empty around me and empty in my heart. It's all right now..."

Xiaodong gently broke free from his hand, changed to a dry cloth and continued to wipe: "You just feel fresh, and you should feel noisy after three days."

"No." Qin Lie was grinning like a cat that had eaten honey: "I want you to quarrel with me for the rest of my life."

Xiaodong's face became hot, and he asked, "Where's the plum blossom?"

The plum blossoms were delivered the day before.

"I saw it outside the door just now, and it was full of belly. Today's banquet is rich, and it is full of food."

The hair was half-dried, and the warm and slightly damp hair exuded a fragrance of saponins.Xiaodong used a wooden comb to comb his hair slowly.Qin Lie's hair was black and hard, with slightly curly ends.Xiaodong looked down, Qin Lie's eyebrows were thick and straight, his nose was high, and his eyelashes were black and long.

"When is it?"

"It's already the second watch."

Xiaodong looked at the big bed—it was hung with a big red brocade curtain, hanging with double lotus curtains and auspicious tassels.

"Go to bed early."

Xiaodong paused with his hands, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Suddenly her waist tightened, and Qin Lie turned back and picked her up.Xiaodong almost yelled, but quickly covered his mouth.A pair of dark and round eyes stared at Qin Lie.

Qin Lie smiled and said, "I'll serve you instead."

He carried Xiaodong to the bed before putting it down, squatting down, Xiaodong's feet shrank back.

"Don't be afraid."

Qin Lie moved gently, and took off the shoes for her.

Xiaodong's feet are small and delicate, wrapped in white silk socks, they look like small water chestnuts with their shells peeled off.Qin Lie untied the webbing on the socks, and took off her socks as well.

Xiaodong's face was on fire.

Bridal chamber... Of course she knows what bridal chamber means.I have never eaten pork, but I have seen it before.

But knowledge is knowledge...

Some things have been talked about a hundred times on paper, but when it comes to the critical moment, it is useless at all.

Qin Lie got up slowly, sat beside Xiaodong, stretched out his hand and carefully picked off the velvet flower on her temple.After pulling out the hairpin, Xiaodong's hair slid down like water.

His serious and gentle expression made Xiaodong's embarrassment and anxiety disappear inexplicably.But when Qin Lie reached out to untie her clothes, Xiaodong finally couldn't help it, and turned his face away: "I'll do it myself."

"No, let me do it."

Qin Lie unexpectedly did not back down on this matter, Xiaodong seemed to have never seen why he insisted on something.

The knot was tied by Hong Fu for her just now, and it is different from the usual way. Now this knot is called Ruyi Knot—it is said that there is another one called Acacia Knot.

Acacia?

Xiaodong's face was as red as fire, and she lowered her head and bit her lip.

After taking off the outer shirt, only the white silk inner garment remained on Xiaodong's body.The halo of the red candle was reflected on the clothes, the clothes did not look white, but a faint warm light crimson color.
