Coming out from the Ancestral Hall, the two of them went to the courtyard and since the King Jin and the Prince Jin's Wife were there to spectate, it was not easy to arrange the seats for the High Hall. Although the two of them were people who did not care about etiquette, and expressed that they did not need to sit in the right seat, the Marquis did not dare to be slow. In the end, they did not dare to push the position of the four of the main hall to the left and right, but because of this, the middle seat of the main hall was actually empty.
Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi stood in the center, bowing to the, as per normal. However, if there was anyone with sharp eyes, they would realize that the two of them were standing in the middle of the hall, looking like they were bowing to the Marquis, but in reality, they had cleverly avoided the two of them. If Xie Jingxi could see it, she would have definitely guessed that it was on purpose. However, whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, it was not important.
After the ceremony, the new wife entered the bridal chamber to reveal her bridal veil. The new wife entered the bridal chamber to drink a cup of wine, and the group of people crowded around the bridal chamber to take a look at the new wife. This time, Gu Yun quickly satisfied them by revealing the bridal veil first. The feeling of having his eyes covered was not pleasant at all, not to mention that Xie Jingxi had already protected him for most of the day.
The moment the bridal veil was opened, everyone who saw it was amazed, it was the first time they saw such a naturally tender new wife, and being able to roughly see her original appearance was already a standard, although Xie Jingxi still felt as if her face was covered with a layer of plastered plaster.
Look at how this hurts your wife, you know that it's not convenient for her, and if you don't know it, you might think that you're too anxious to inspect the goods, afraid that we'll change your precious daughter-in-law. It's not like you haven't seen him move, and your hands never let go.
Prince Jin's Wife is a hot topic, after entering the bridal room, he started to mess with Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi. Everyone laughed together, and Gu Yun was not angry, no matter what you say, I will admit it word for word.
"Oh, this new bride's face is quite unique, but it doesn't look like it's made of pure gold. It must be pretty light."
Ever since the Xing Family had married into the Gu Family's second house, she had often come to visit. This time, she had merely come with the Xing Family to join in the fun, and was not a true guest. Since the person who had come was a guest, Marquis Mansion definitely did not mean anything to her.
Everyone could hear the ridicule in her words, they could tell that Xie Jingxi's face was not made of gold, but Xie Jingxi did not know what kind of material it was. It looked like silver, but it did not look like anything, so she did not know where Gu Yun got it from.
The purity of the gold and the size of the head were all symbols of one's family background. Other people did not say that they knew to leave some face for others, but saying that way would inevitably cause them to feel awkward. Ever since that Young Madam Xing entered Marquis Mansion, her eyes started to search for good things in the house. From Lady Zeng to Second Young Madam, and then to Third Miss Gu, she was dressed in luxurious clothing, and her appearance in the second house couldn't be compared to it. Young Madam Xing, who had never seen good things before, was naturally envious and jealous.
She had finally met Xie Jingxi, who was a slightly shabby new wife, and her face was even worse than the one she used to wear back then. She could not hold back her laughter. A young milkmaid, who was dressed relatively modestly, smiled and said softly, "The eldest young master loves his wife. This face is light and elegant, and is not too tiring, just fitting our new mistress' temperament. Furthermore, the east pearl there is not something that can be easily obtained; it has been polished into such a small piece."
The voice was not loud, and was very pleasing to the eyes. Xie Jingxi glanced over, and it was indeed the second wife's eldest son, the young mistress' Lady Zou, who did not come to Marquis Mansion often, and was a very reliable person. Xie Jingxi did not have much of an impression of her, but he was not bad.
When the Lady Zou explained it this way, everyone could not help but appreciate it. This kind of Eastern Pearl was already hard to come by, and the big one was worth a lot, and the big one was already a high quality fortune. Who would be willing to grind them into small ones, and only grind 18 of them in one go just for the sake of wearing the Light Province.
However, Gu Yun's heart was not so simple. Those young ladies who had their own thoughts and intentions, looked at Xie Jingxi again, and their hearts felt a little uncomfortable.
Prince Jin's Wife laughed, "I already said that our Jingwan is blessed, but this lady looks a little unfamiliar, but I don't know which family she belongs to."
The Xing Family was a fairly well-off merchant family. Even the wives of the rank were several levels lower than the most ordinary wives, and those who could enter Marquis Mansion and below the third rank were rarely seen. In their eyes, the young matron of the Xing Family was no less than a lowly maid.
When they heard Prince Jin's Wife's words, they realized that Second Branch Madam Xing still had a few looks left in her eyes. Realizing that Prince Jin's Wife's tone wasn't very happy, they stopped their sister-in-law who was about to introduce themselves and said, "I'm sorry, Prince Jin's Wife, but this is my family's sister-in-law. She just happened to be at my place for a few days, so she came along with me."
Prince Jin's Wife casually glanced in the direction of Young Madam Xing, then gave a meaningful response. A person who hadn't received an invitation from Marquis Mansion, who came in just to get a hint of joy, casually said that it was annoying, and was even a family, truly making people look down on him.
The Xing Family's young matron had thought that she would have the privilege of speaking with the Prince Jin's Wife, but the latter had completely ignored her. After being humiliated a few times by Xie Jingxi, the Xing Family decided to keep their guard up. Seeing that their sister-in-law was displeased, they decided to drag her out of the bridal chamber and found an excuse to send her back.
"Aunt is so good at distilled wine."
Brother Rong and Niu Niu Niu's mouths were covered with cake crumbs, and they stared at Xie Jingxi in puzzlement, their childish voice breaking the unhappiness that Young Grandma Xing had just brought. The two little fellows looked at each other for a long time before recognizing that this was their Third Aunt.
Gu Yun had seen through their tricks a long time ago and immediately gave a look to the mama at the side, coaxing her with candy before the two little fellows came up to her.
Xie Jingxi heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. If she really asked these two little things to come up and make trouble, she would not be able to sleep on this bed. Seeing that she was obviously relieved, Gu Yun smiled, turned around and poured herself a cup of tea. Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, she placed the tea in Xie Jingxi's hand.
After hesitating for a while, he finally managed to cover his face and take a sip. The more the people in the house said that he doted on his wife, the more single Gu Yun seemed to have become. Since you guys said that, then I might as well do the entire thing.
"Forget it, how are they here to cause trouble? They are clearly here to show how they love their wives. I think we should all properly invite our husbands to come in and take a look and learn from them." Prince Jin's Wife laughed as he spoke, and the other wives and grandmothers in the room also joined in the laughter. With the example of the young mistress of the Xing Family, no one felt unlucky anymore.
Just as she was speaking, King Jin actually went in to take a look, and looked at Gu Yun with disdain, "Esteemed wangfei, this brat might be holding back something, how can a good wife not hurt? Can't you just look at him now, you have to look at him for a few years, and see that a husband like me won't be found.
"Pfft." Prince Jin's Wife spat on King Jin's face, "You too."
The King Jin laughed foolishly. "Or maybe this king can also pour tea for Princess Hua-Yang and envy them to death."
Prince Jin's Wife finally could not hold it in anymore, and his face was flushed red. Now, everyone had a new target to tease about, and they surrounded Prince Jin's Wife to cause trouble.
"It seems like our King Jin is the true model of the husband, even Master Young Master Gu is being pushed down, but Young Master is too protective of his wife, if we can't see, then we might as well just watch the princess."
"Haha …"
King Jin had thick skin. He really poured a cup for Prince Jin's Wife and poured a cup for himself and passed it to him, "How about we also have a cup for you?"
"Bah!" Prince Jin's Wife could not stay any longer as he said this. He then called the young ladies out of the bridal chamber, "There's no point in making a ruckus here, go and eat wine with me."
King Jin looked at Gu Yun with a meaningful look as if he had succeeded, and left while chuckling. Before he left, he even sent a house full of female servants away, leaving Ming Yu behind.
Ming Yu was still standing there foolishly, but Gu Yun suddenly smiled at her, causing her entire body to tremble. Obviously, her Young Master's smile was very beautiful, but why did she feel a little afraid? As a result, the frightened Ming Yu girl's legs started to move towards the door, and she accidentally went along with it.
It's over, it's all over, that gentle and considerate Young Master must be a liar, if not how could the gaze that was staring at her all the way was so seductive. Lady, please pray for yourself, Ming Yu won't be able to save you …
Ming Yu, who was so scared that her heart was trembling, rushed out the door. She almost fell down to the ground and closed the door for them in a fluster.
In this situation where she was finally saved, Xie Jingxi didn't even notice Ming Yu's bear look, and she was even extremely nervous in her heart. Just thinking about what King Jin had said just now, and how she finally understood that something unusual was going on, how did King Jin seem to have a hidden meaning, what did she mean by a good wife, and what kind of expression from his eyes, it clearly meant that she had been tricked.
