Chapter 53
Su Jin got into the sedan chair.
In front of the sedan chair, Xiao Zhen rode on the horse in a big red round necktie, holding two children in his arms. Ten-year-old Archer was also wearing a red dress, his face was like a crown and jade eyes were like peach blossoms, and he was as beautiful as Wenquxing descending to earth. Aman in Archer's arms was dressed more beautifully. Although he was only five years old, he could already imagine how beautiful she would look when she grew up.
In fact, when the widow remarried, it turned out that the children of the husband's family could be taken to the new husband's house in advance or after marriage, but Xiao Zhen was the decision to pick up the mother and the three of them today. He married Su Jin, wasn't there any gossip outside? He wouldn't scold Su Jin anymore. Some people speculated that he would sooner or later, and would be dissatisfied with Su Jin's children. Now Xiao Zhen asked those people to see how strong his determination to protect Su Jin's three of them was.
"Aman, is it fun?" Xiao Zhen glanced across the street and looked at the lively people. He lowered his head and asked Aman with a smile.
Aman couldn't hear what the people were talking about, and the little guy didn't want to listen carefully. He rode on the tall horse. Aman only found it novel and interesting, and thought that the people around him liked her and came to see her, just like the godfather that time he helped her sit in a monkey sedan. He raised his head and Aman smiled excitedly at his godfather.
Xiao Zhen touched the girl's brain with love, and then his big hand fell on Archer's shoulder and whispered: "Arche, men stand tall and stand tall, and die on the battlefield is glory, and death in state affairs will also be famous in history. But we should not be depressed for life because of a few gossips. Look at those people, they don't care whether you are doing well, and you don't have to take the words of strangers to heart."
Is human words terrifying? Today, the family of four is walking openly on the street, Xiao Zhen wants to see what people can do to him.
If Archer was still the child of three or four years old, he would have shrunk at home and dared not go out. But Archer was ten years old. He had neglected his adoptive father because of fear of others. Until his adoptive father died, he could not go out with his adoptive father with his head held high and left a lifelong regret. Now that his mother has been criticized, Archer swore that he would never be scared away by rumors. He would stand in front of his mother and shelter his mother and sister from the wind and rain.
"Archer understands." He looked at the unclear people and said firmly.
The people's ideas changed unknowingly. Before they attacked Su Jin, they felt that Su Jin was not worthy of Xiao Zhen, and wanted to persuade Xiao Zhen to give up the idea of marrying Su Jin and marry a good woman worthy of him. But at this moment, Xiao Zhen, who had witnessed his heroic appearance, treated Su Jin's two children as his family, and saw Archer so beautiful that he couldn't help but say something about him. Those women who were talking the most craziest could not help but feel a love for the house and the mist.
Xiao Zhen is so open-minded and responsible, and Archer is so beautiful and lovable. For the sake of the father and son, let Su Jin go.
In the final analysis, the people of Jinling City have no resentment and hatred with Su Jin, and they have almost never seen Su Jin and had never dealt with Su Jin. Anyway, scolding is useless. It is impossible to change the fact that Su Jin wants to be the Marquis's wife. It is better to accept it. I hope Su Jin will serve Xiao Zhen carefully and stop touching Xiao Zhen any more.
If it were Su Jin's neighbors in his hometown, they might continue to insult Su Jin with jealousy that their acquaintances would live better than themselves, but those people were in Yangzhou, and even more scolding could not be separated from the small town of Yangzhou where they lived for generations. Their insults and jealousy would not affect Su Jin at all.
Anyway, Xiao Zhen and Su Jin's high-profile and fearless wedding show unexpectedly suppressed the overwhelming criticism.
After worshiping the world, Xi Po led the groom and the bride into the new house.
Xiao Zhen is a rule-free general, and the military generals he made friends with are not much better than him. When changing homes to the Marquis' Mansion, he has to pay attention to whoever should stand, but Xiao Zhen married Su Jin, which was obviously a prominent Marquis' Mansion, but he has a sense of marrying a wife in the village town. A group of generals surrounded the newlyweds and squeezed into the new house, surrounding the house, leaving only a small open space in front of the bed.
Xiao Zhen and Xi Po stood on the pitiful open space.
Xi Po has been engaged in marriages for many couples in Jinling City, but this is the first time she has seen such a scene. A group of big and thick men stared at the bride with wide eyes, like wolves. Xi Po secretly speculated that these men were mostly bachelors. Since this is the case, she had to show off to let the bachelors remember themselves and look for her when they get married in the future.
"Marty, it's time to lift the veil!" In front of the wolves, Xi Po was not at all afraid. She smiled happily and raised the red silk tray in front of Xiao Zhen. On the tray, a golden lacquer scale rod was quietly lying on it.
"Raise the veil, lift the veil!" Hovey Zhang took the lead, and a group of wolves began to roar, wishing they could shake the roof.
Under the veil, Su Jin couldn't help laughing, but she, who was originally bold and aggressive, was also beating upset by the scene and began to get nervous.
Xiao Zhen's heart was also beating wildly. He was also very annoyed and wanted to drink Huo Weizhang and others. But when he turned around, Huo Weizhang seemed to guess what he was going to say, and first blocked his words and cheered: "Oh, our majestic Marquis Xiao, who is not afraid of thousands of troops, shouldn't he be frightened in the moment and dare not lift the veil?"
What responded to him was the generals’ bold and neat “hahaha”!
How could Xiao Zhen make them laugh at him for being brave? Turning around, Xiao Zhen picked up the golden scale pole, and stretched forward like a gun, and he picked up the red veil of the dragon and phoenix embroidered gold thread and dragon and phoenix!
He moved too fast, and Su Jin was not ready yet, and his vision suddenly widened. Su Jin raised his head in surprise.
The red veil flew into the air, then descended lightly, passed by the bride, and slowly landed on the ground.
But no one looked at the veil. Just as the bride raised her head, there was noisy sound in the new house.
Xiao Zhen still kept picking the veil, but his gaze also condensed on Su Jin's face.
Su Jin usually has a thin layer of bangs on her forehead, but today, her long black and thick hair was received in the phoenix crown. Below the phoenix crown is a beautiful face, a smooth and plump forehead, and a delicate and fair face, like a dazzling treasure. As soon as she appeared, the room was shining.
The bride's face is too tender!
This is the first impression of Xiao Zhen, Huo Weizhang and others. After closer inspection, the little beauty's eyebrows were drawn with fine eyebrows, and the slightly raised ends seemed to be seductive, but how could the eyebrows be able to match the charm of the phoenix eyes? Shui Yingying's eyes looked at the groom with a little nervous look, and she wanted to speak, but I still felt pity for her.
After the silence, I don’t know who swallowed the saliva first, and suddenly, swallowing sounds rang out in the room one after another.
It's really like a wolf.
As bold as Su Jin, he was shy by these generals who were coveting her. He lowered his head and clenched the red handkerchief in his little hands.
Xiao Zhen also returned to his soul. Thinking that Huo Weizhang and others were eyeing Su Jin, a group of big men who were talking dirty in private were illusions in their heads. Xiao Zhen's face turned cold and urged Xi Po in a cold voice: "Continue."
Xi Po understood and brought the wine with a neat move. The wine with a glass of wine was just a ceremony and it didn't take too much. The small wine cup fell into the eyes of the generals who had good wine, just like a child playing house.
Because he could see the bride, Hovezhang and others didn't ask for help, and seized the time to stare at the bride greedily.
Su Jin's face is like a blush jade, and her charm is even more intense.
Xiao Zhen sat next to her, and had to look over because she wanted to have a cup of tea. Seeing Su Jinfeng looking at him with her eyes, her eyes immediately drooped in panic, just like a used to being arrogant and fire phoenix suddenly turned into a shy and well-behaved little rabbit. Xiao Zhen couldn't help but rolled his throat, and his body under the big red wedding robe began to get hot and sweat.
He drank a glass of wine in panic and completed all the new house ceremony as quickly as possible. As soon as Xi Po said the ceremony, Xiao Zhen immediately strode to Hovezhang and pushed the person out with a calm face. Hovezhang began to cheer again, walking out reluctantly while tilting his neck to Su Jin, complaining: "Xiao Zhen, you are too stingy. Marry such a beautiful lady. If you look at us for a few more times, you will be indispensable. Alas, push it slowly, my arm injury has not healed yet..."
Xiao Zhen grabbed his arm with his big hand, wishing he really wanted to hurt Ho Weizhang.
He started to make a sound and laughter, and finally left the backyard and moved to the front yard.
Su Jin let out a long sigh. Fortunately, she couldn't bear it even after only one day.
Xi Po served Su Jin and took off the thick phoenix crown, bent down and smiled, "Mrs. She was born with beauty. Just now, the veil was lifted, and the Marquis' eyes were straightened." Xi Po heard everything about Su Jin, but she had long appreciated Su Jin's beauty and knew that with Su Jin's face, it was not difficult to enter the palace to be a concubine, let alone a Marquis' wife?
Did Xiao Zhen look straight at his eyes?
Su Jin didn't notice it, and was stared at by a group of aggressive men. Su Jin quickly lowered her head without looking at Xiao Zhen carefully. She wanted to be an official wife, and it would be fine if she was arrogant and bold in private, but in front of Xiao Zhen's colleagues, it was better to be dignified and reserved, so the couple were both decent.
At noon, she left the house where Su Jin rented, and took a sedan chair to circle around Jinling City for half a circle. It was almost dusk. Su Jin was hungry and ate a bowl of wedding noodles in her new house. After eating, she washed her face and combed her hair. It was almost dark outside. Su Jin asked the maids to wait in the yard. She sat on the brand new nanmu drooping bed in her wedding dress. While listening to the movements in the front yard, she was waiting for her patiently.
In the front yard, the generals who had seen the bride's beautiful appearance were all jealous of Xiao Zhen's beauty. So what if Su Jin's reputation was not good? Xiao Zhen himself has the ability and doesn't need his wife to help him. It's enough that his wife is beautiful and pleasing to the eyes.
The jealous men poured wine on Xiao Zhen wildly.
Xiao Zhen refused everyone, but instead hoped that he would not have to face Su Jin at night.
The drunkenness was so strong that the men drank almost the first time they had been drinking. However, Hawweizhang saw that Xiao Zhen seemed to be drinking too much on purpose. It was too abnormal. Hawweizhang hugged Xiao Zhen's shoulder. Just like when Xiao Zhen pushed him out of the new house, this time it was Hovezhang who pushed Xiao Zhen out of the living room and laughed loudly: "Good scenery, the groom should go to the bridal chamber. You drink first, I will come back after I send the groom!"
Someone grabbed Xiao Zhen and refused to let Xiao Zhen go.
Xiao Zhen couldn't ask for it and said to Huo Weizhang: "I'll drink again..."
Huo Weizhang raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiao first refused to marry her, but now he is trying to find an excuse to postpone it. Could it be that Brother Xiao has any hidden secrets?" After saying that, Huo Weizhang glanced at Xiao Zhen's waist with some point.
Xiao Zhen's face turned dark.
"Go, she can eat you!" Huo Weizhang pushed Xiao Zhen out of the door with all his might, and laughed and ordered Xu Wu to say, "The auspicious time has come, send the marquis to the bridal chamber!"
After hearing this, the generals inside called out the "breeding chamber" in unison, and each sounded louder and more powerful, like a command on the battlefield, resounding throughout the night sky.
If Xiao Zhen retreats again, he will become a cowardly general who is afraid of the enemy at the time of battle and will inevitably be ridiculed.
Facing Huo Weizhang's provocative look, Xiao Zhen pushed away Xu Wu who came to help him, turned around and strode towards the backyard.
In the new house, Su Jin also heard the urge in front of her. She guessed that Xiao Zhen was about to arrive. She pursed her hair and pursed her lips, and waited nervously.
