Chapter 48: Married Again

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a rare light snow fell in Dayue Kingdom.

The Qin family finally managed to collect 68 loads of betrothal gifts, giving enough face.

Fearing that she would get cold, Qin Shangyu put a cloak of the same color over her wedding dress, and the parade around the city was changed to a parade around the central street.

Xiao Yuanyan and Xie Jingyu both watched her leave, feeling empty inside. The two of them sat at the same table in a rare friendly way, drinking from the same pot of wine.

Qin Shangyu, on the other hand, was smiling continuously. Her gentle and delicate face, set off by the bright red wedding dress, looked even more beautiful like a beautiful girl, like a flower in March.

The wedding was done in a hurry, and I thought not many people would know about it. But when we walked to the central street, the crowd of onlookers kept increasing.

It was because Madam Jiang's beauty had long been famous in the capital, and many wealthy families had sent her visiting cards, but no one responded. Now they heard that Madam Jiang was getting married again, and they all came to see which lucky man it was, and he had caught Madam Jiang's eye without anyone noticing...

There are two special people in the crowd at this moment.

I saw a young man who looked like a book boy mumbling to the man beside him: "This girl is really beautiful, even prettier than the young ladies in our clan. It's a pity that she has already married, so there is no hope for you, young master!"

They were the master and servant who passed each other in Huzhou.

The man knocked on his head and said, "I'm just curious about the way she saved people. What are you thinking?!"

"I think it's time for you to get married, sir!"

"I think you want to get married!" The man said angrily, "Let's go!"

Before leaving, he looked back and said something silently, as if "see you later."

Jiang Yuyan was already familiar with this series of wedding procedures. However, both of her weddings were held in the cold winter. Yunzhou was relatively warm, but the snow in the capital was a bit unbearable.

Qin Shangyu was also worried about many things. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he picked her up and walked towards the wedding hall. Then he hurriedly bowed in the hall and sent her to the bridal chamber.

The floor heating in the wedding room was burning vigorously, and the room was warm as spring. Jiang Yuyan slowly exhaled a breath of cold air, ate her meal, and then ordered water, dismissed the servants and wanted to take a bath herself.

The two servants who stayed behind fell to their knees.

The Qin family has very strict rules. When the mistress takes a bath, there must be someone to help her bathe and change clothes. How can she do it herself? If the mistress knows that she has not served him well, she will definitely be punished.

Jiang Yuyan was embarrassed, she was not used to this. When she was in the palace, Xie Jingyu let her do what she wanted.

Now seeing that the servant refused to stand up, he had no choice but to call back Qin Shangyu who was toasting him.

Qin Shangyu was worried about how to escape, so he immediately apologized to his relatives and friends and returned to his bridal chamber.

"You guys can leave first!" Qin Shangyu waved his hand, and hesitated again, his face and neck turned red, "Madam, do you want me to help you bathe?"

"No need, I can do it myself..."

Seeing Qin Shangyu's shy look, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but feel shy as well, as if in a chain reaction.

"Can you ask them to stay away and guard it? Can you bring water yourself when you need it at night? I'd be embarrassed."

Qin Shangyu naturally knew what using water meant. He blushed and nodded silently.

The two of them finished washing up and lay down on the bed in their pajamas. Jiang Yuyan looked at him and didn't move. Naturally, she was embarrassed to take the initiative, so she just waited quietly.

After a while, Qin Shangyu held his hand and looked at him evasively, as if he was very shy.

"Can I...?" Qin Shangyu's tone was gentle, but his heart was trembling with excitement.

"Yeah." Jiang Yuyan nodded without hesitation.

The moment he got permission, Qin Shangyu felt as if his soul was floating to the fairyland.

This is the woman he has loved for a long time. Now that his skin is touching hers, it truly is better than anything else in the world!

…………

When Jiang Yuyan woke up the next day, Qin Shangyu was already dressed neatly and sitting beside her, smiling, with a new jacket and skirt next to him.

Qin Shangyu was indeed a good husband who was considerate in every aspect, helping her to get dressed, wash her face and rinse her mouth, and comb her hair.

Jiang Yuyan handed him a porcelain bottle with a wooden stopper.

"Wedding gift..."

Qin Shangyu took it in his hand and took a look, "What is this?"

"The experimental product I made is called essential oil." Jiang Yuyan blinked. She really couldn't make a glass bottle, so she used a small porcelain bottle for the time being.

The purity of this essential oil is not high, so it can come into direct contact with the skin and leave a long-lasting fragrance.

Jiang Yuyan carefully pinched two drops with her fingers, rubbed them gently on his wrist, and rubbed them behind his ears.

"This is made from white plum blossoms in winter. I think it suits you very well."

Qin Shangyu sniffed and was surprised to find a faint fragrance wafting from his every move.

"Thank you ma'am!"

"As long as you like it." Jiang Yuyan smiled and rubbed his face.

After offering tea and recognizing their relationship, Qin Shangyu took Jiang Yuyan to his own musical instrument room.

As expected, he was a master of musical instruments. There were all kinds of instruments here, many of which Jiang Yuyan couldn't name. Out of curiosity, she tried to play with them one by one and had a lot of fun.

Qin Shangyu was very happy to see that she liked it, so he took out some famous pieces for her to taste and played for her.

Jiang Yuyan also discovered the ancient zither, but this zither here is called the Yue Zheng, and it only has thirteen strings. Jiang Yuyan suggested changing the zither to the modern twenty-one strings, and drew a design based on her impression. Qin Shangyu was surprised and naturally did as he was told.

The two were newlyweds, and were extremely affectionate and loving.
