Chapter 13 The Evil Wife in Period Literature 12

Qian Ling looked at the radiant Lin Xiang in the crowd and couldn't help but feel envious. She poked Lin Aitang beside her and asked in a low voice: "Aidang, when we get married next month, can I wear the same clothes as my aunt?"

When Lin Aidang heard her partner's idea during a drinking contest, she quickly rejected it, saying, "It's not about the clothes. Auntie would look good even if she wore a sack. Think about it, our wedding is so close to Auntie's. If you wear the same clothes as Auntie, it's not..."

He didn't dare to say the words "worlds of difference".

But Qian Ling immediately realized what he meant, and she kicked her foot under the table in embarrassment. Thinking of that scene, she was deeply disappointed...

It seems, indeed, a bit self-defeating.

Lin Xiang followed Cheng Jianfeng and went with him to meet his master, Director Zheng, and thanked the matchmaker, Director Qin. Then, she went around and received a lot of greetings from his colleagues, who also asked her openly and secretly whether she had any other sisters, cousins, or cousins...

She quietly covered the smile on her lips with the wine glass.

At the left corner, several friends who had received the invitation and specially adjusted their leave to come here were watching Cheng Jianfeng's high-spirited scene with gritted teeth.

"Is this what they mean by "good things are worth waiting for?" Chen Qi asked doubtfully.

"That's right." Qin Baoguo cast an envious look, "At that time, this guy was the only unmarried young man among us, and we made fun of him for a long time."

"Who said it wasn't?" Tian Fang interrupted, "Who would have thought that this dark-faced big ice block could marry a gentle and beautiful woman like jade? Do girls nowadays like the type with a dumb tongue?"

Chen Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think he still looks like the silent devil in the team? He is grinning so hard that you can even see his big white teeth."

Thinking of the tigress at home, Qin Baoguo affirmed: "If I could marry such a beauty, I would be so happy that I couldn't even see my eyes even if I had to pour water for her to wash her feet every day."

"Oh, lost, lost..."

"Who said it wasn't true? I don't know how this kid will laugh at us later."

When the few people who were chatting idly saw the newcomers walking towards them, they immediately put away their sloppy soldier looks and sat up straight.

Lin Xiang followed her husband to this table out of curiosity. He had just solemnly introduced this table as his comrades who had emerged from the bombardment together with him.

"Hello." Lin Xiang smiled and raised her glass to greet everyone.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Facing the beauty at close range, they became even more jealous. How come beauties these days have no eyes?

Especially seeing the provocation towards them in the once icy eyes of that man.

Haha, today is a good day for your wedding, I'll give you some support. Tomorrow, I must find a chance to compete with this guy.

Watching the newlyweds go to other tables to toast, Chen Qi suddenly gulped down his wine and sighed, "Now I can see some mental strength in this guy. When he knew he had to be discharged from the army due to injury, he looked so lifeless that I was scared."

"Right, right." Qin Baoguo echoed, "This is the power of love. Look, this iceberg is about to turn into a volcano."

After attending the banquet for several hours, the bride was finally allowed to go back and rest.

Sitting in the bridal chamber, Lin Xiang felt deep sympathy for her newlywed husband who was still being forced to drink by everyone. However, maybe he was also enjoying it?

She took off her little leather shoes, went to the bathroom to get some water and removed the light makeup on her face.

Wow, it feels so good. I don’t need to get married a second time in this life. Lin Xiang felt that she was finally alive.

I searched my memory. Why did the mahogany cabinet beside the bed look so familiar? And the large wardrobe beside the wall and the dressing table beside the bed? Aren’t these the three major items that the original owner brought to the Zhang family when she got married for the first time?

It seems like I was sent here again this time?

It's true that husbands come and go, but dowries remain forever.

Lin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, in this special period, the wedding date is set so urgently, it is definitely too late to buy new dowry. Besides, we have to be careful not to be caught. If someone finds out that your Lin family married off their daughter twice and bought two dowries, wouldn't that be giving them a handle?

Lin Xiang took off her wedding dress and hung it in the closet, then took out a tightly wrapped piece of clothing from the box in the corner. It seemed to be a gift from her second sister-in-law Chu Qingtian when she got married.

Last night, my second sister-in-law sneaked into the room and brought it to me when no one was around. She acted like a thief and told me not to open it yet and wait until the wedding night to open it and have a look.

She was extremely curious at the time, but later she forgot about it because she had too many things to do. Now she wants to see what it is...

The embroidery in front of me is exquisite, with pink peonies blooming all over the chest and the silk threads shining brightly under the lights. It will be a rare work of art in future generations.

However, looking at the cool bellyband in front of her, Lin Xiang's forehead was full of black lines. Should she thank her second sister-in-law for being so thoughtful? She didn't know where she had it custom-made. No wonder she suddenly came to her a few days ago and said she wanted to hug her, saying that she would belong to someone else's family in the future and there would be fewer opportunities to meet.

However, this dress was really beautiful and it really touched her heart.

Lin Xiang couldn't wait to try it on, looking at her fairer and more delicate skin and curvy figure in the mirror against the pink peony backdrop. Well, today was another day to indulge in her own beauty.

Hearing the knock on the door, she quickly found an everyday skirt and put it on, saying, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the drunk husband being helped in by one of his friends.

Tian Fang looked at the beauty in front of him and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng is drunk, I will send him back first, you see..."

With the help of the other party, Lin Xiang helped her husband to the bed. Before she could say a few words of thanks, she saw him leave in a flash, and considerately closed the bedroom door and the front door.

Upon hearing the sound of his friend leaving, Cheng Jianfeng immediately sat up from the bed, without any trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

Lin Xiang was stunned: "You are..."

Cheng Jianfeng rubbed his head and explained sheepishly: "The wine I drank had been diluted with water a long time ago. If I don't pretend to be drunk, it will be difficult to leave the banquet."

He climbed out of bed and washed his face with cold water. Although the water was mixed with alcohol, he also drank some alcohol.

I didn't expect him to be so rigid, Lin Xiang thought with a smile. Then she heard him messing around in the kitchen and asked, "Xiang Xiang, you haven't had a proper meal today, what do you want to eat? How about vegetable and egg noodles? I'll make it for you."

"Okay." Following the voice, Lin Xiang stood at the kitchen door and watched the tall figure heat up the oil in a pan and fry two eggs, then boil water and add some vegetables for garnish.

Feeling the gazes behind him, Cheng Jianfeng felt somewhat proud, thinking that because of this skill, countless people had rushed to team up with him during field training. This time he had to show off his skills.

Of course, he may not know that it was his cooking skills that attracted the attention of the third brother. Lin Weidong wanted to marry this boy so that his sister would not have to worry about the daily necessities of life, so he included him in the scope of investigation.

Lin Xiang looked at the steaming noodles. She was really hungry, so she couldn't wait to eat them under the enthusiastic gaze of her newlywed husband.

While eating, she gave him a thumbs up: "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are really good."

Yes, exaggerate more. I will cook more consciously in the future.

Seeing Lin Xiang eating so contentedly, and hearing his wife's sincere compliments, Cheng Jianfeng smiled embarrassedly.

Getting married is great, they both thought.
