78. [Latest] Chapter 78: Getting Married (End of Text)

Xiaoxiao blushed and retracted her hand. Her clothes were disheveled, and without the cover of her small dress, a section of her snow-white and smooth skin was exposed. Further down was her slightly heaving chest, and her trembling snow-capped peaks were like a shivering little white rabbit. Under the dim candlelight, she looked indescribably weak and soft.

Pei Xiuhan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and there seemed to be an undercurrent in his dark and deep eyes. Because he was enduring pain, the sweat on his forehead flowed down the corners of his eyes and fell onto Xiaoxiao's porcelain-white skin.

Xiaoxiao seemed to be scalded, and she closed her eyes tightly, and pursed her beautiful lips. Her little face, with a blush, looked beautiful and charming.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, she nervously opened her eyes and glanced at him secretly.

Just as she fell into his deep eyes, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but call him, "Brother?"

The girl's eyes were clear, and although she was nervous, she seemed to be able to give everything for him. This well-behaved look made Pei Xiu Han feel guilty for no reason, and the heat in his body subsided a lot.

Pei Xiu Han lowered his head and kissed her lips, then stood up and sat up. His long legs were slightly bent, his clothes were a little messy, and he looked unusually lazy.

Xiaoxiao didn't dare look at him again. When he stopped, she breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled the quilt over her body, blushing as she reached for her small clothes and quietly stuffed them under the quilt. Knowing that her clothes must be disheveled, she didn't get up.

Pei Xiuhan happened to see this scene. He picked her up through the quilt and let the girl lean on him. "Are you scared?"

Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. The fear of the unknown did make her a little flustered. But since it was him in front of her, she wasn't too scared, fearing he would misunderstand her. Xiaoxiao glanced at him again, blushing as she explained, "Brother, as long as it's you, I'm willing to do anything and help."

The little girl was so silly and cute, it seemed that her whole heart was devoted to him. Pei Xiuhan couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips. Their lips and teeth intertwined for a moment, and he pecked her lightly a few times.

He stroked her lips and said in a hoarse voice, "I sold you out without you even knowing it."

His voice was cold and low, yet mixed with a faint smile, and it was indescribably pleasant to hear.

Xiaoxiao's breathing became irregular, and she pressed her little face against his chest, whispering back, "My brother is the one who can't bear to sell me out."

Pei Xiuhan couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, brother really can't bear to let me go. Are you sure you want to eat me?"

Xiaoxiao's cheeks felt a little hot, and she put her arms around his waist. Pei Xiuhan was reluctant to let her help in the end. The little girl was thin-skinned, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide when he just bit her. There were only ten days left, and he could wait.

They agreed to keep watch together, but Xiaoxiao didn't last long. She fell asleep just after midnight. The sound of firecrackers outside didn't wake her up. Fearing that she wouldn't sleep well, Pei Xiuhan put her on the bed.

After the Chinese New Year, time seemed to fly and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day was undoubtedly a good day. The news from Dajin also reached the capital. The secret guards had found Xue Li's whereabouts and would send her to the capital in a while.

Zhao Zhi is still in a coma. All his princes are still under the age of 16, and the oldest is only sixteen years old.

Naturally, there was a lot of fighting between the princes. No one could gain anything from the back and forth fights. They had just suffered a defeat and the national treasury was seriously depleted. Several small countries even colluded with each other and launched a surprise attack on the Jin Dynasty while the chaos was going on.

The prince had no choice but to ask Da Zhou for help. Da Jin and Da Zhou had belonged to the same country a hundred years ago. Pei Xiuhan had long had the idea of ​​unifying the country and directly sent troops to Da Jin.

He did not leave the capital.

After Zhao Zhi's accident, the Jin Dynasty was like a pile of loose sand. Several princes were still young, and the aristocratic families behind them were bound to fight to the death. Under internal and external troubles, no one was able to turn the tide, and the overthrow of the Jin Dynasty was inevitable.

Pei Xiuhan just needs to be more patient.

Two days before the wedding, Xiaoxiao moved back to Zhang's house. It was best for the bride and groom not to meet before the wedding, so Pei Xiuhan did not go to look for her again.

Zhang Li did not go to the military camp in the past two days. There were no elders at home, so many things were handled by his elder brother. The house was full of wedding characters and the lanterns were changed to bright red. From afar, there was a sense of joy.

Xiaoxiao started to get nervous when there was only one day left before the wedding. When she woke up in the morning, her heart was beating faster for no reason.

When she had finished cleaning up, she found that her brother had already prepared breakfast. Zhang Li was always diligent when he was at home. Thinking that she was about to get married, he cooked a table full of food.

Xiaoxiao was stunned by the sumptuous meal in front of her. She pulled Xiaoxing and Luzhu to sit down and said, "Brother, why did you make so much? We can't finish it."

On weekdays, there are at most four dishes in the morning, but today there are four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, as well as a small bowl of egg soup, filling the round table.

Zhang Li said, "I'll do more for you before you get married. You won't have the chance to do it later."

Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose when she heard that. "The palace and my home are only separated by a courtyard gate. They've become one mansion. I can come back anytime I want. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to cook for me in the future. Don't be lazy when the time comes."

Because of her words, Zhang Li's melancholy dissipated a lot, and a smile unconsciously appeared in his clear eyes. "Okay, then come back anytime, brother will cook for you."

Xiaoxiao curled her lips. After they finished breakfast, Xiaoxing went to paint. He had been painting since he learned that his mother was rescued. He planned to save some money before his mother came and buy a small courtyard nearby.

Zhang Li talked with Xiaoxiao for a while, and then went to check the dowry list. Xiaoxiao went to make shoe soles. She planned to make two more pairs of boots for Zhang Li before getting married.

He is now in the military camp and has to practice martial arts frequently, which wears out his shoes. She had just finished mending a little when she heard the maid say that Mo Chuan had arrived.

Mo Chuan also came here once before the New Year and received a lot of New Year's goods. He had asked the imperial physician to help check his eyes and legs. Because it had been such a long time, it would be difficult to cure him. However, he followed the doctor's advice and has been doing rehabilitation for his legs recently.

The reason he came here today was to deliver Xiaoxiao's dowry.

The old lady actually wanted to come and see Xiaoxiao, but she was too embarrassed to come after being ridiculed by him. After all, she felt guilty towards her eldest son, so she asked someone to prepare a dowry for Xiaoxiao and asked Mo Chuan to bring it over.

Mo Chuan was not interested in the things in the mansion. When he was about to refuse, he thought of Xiaoxiao's situation. Zhang Li didn't have much money and the dowry he prepared for her was also limited. The old lady took out this portion, saying it was a dowry for Xiaoxiao, but in fact it was her brother's property. If Xiaoxiao didn't want it, it would be a bargain for others.

Mo Chuan accepted it all and even asked for a lot more as compensation to Xiaoxiao. This was originally owed to her by the Anguo Mansion. The old lady was in the wrong, so she agreed to it after all.

When he asked the old lady for something, Mo Shuang was also in Mingyue Hall. It was not until this moment that she learned that Xiaoxiao was actually her uncle's child.

Xiaoxiao didn't know that it was Mo Chuan who asked the old lady for these things. He just said that they were left to her by her brother and insisted on keeping them for Xiaoxiao.

Mo Chuan didn't sit for long. After leaving his things behind, he pushed the wheelchair and turned around. He pushed it forward a step and finally said something, "If you are wronged in the future, just tell me. Even if your father is gone, I still have your back."

Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."

It was the first time that Mo Chuan heard her call him Fifth Uncle. His eyes felt a little sore, and after a while he whispered, "Why are you being so polite to Fifth Uncle?"

Xiaoxiao reached out to hold his wheelchair and sent him to the door. The carriage of the Duke of Anguo's mansion was parked at the door. Seeing him, Qin Dian hurried over.

Some time ago, in order to investigate Xue Ji's affairs, Qin Dian went to Dajin, and finally found out the identities of Xue Li and Xiao Xing. He returned to the capital last month. Now he is taking care of Mo Chuan and helping Mo Chuan with rehabilitation treatment.

There was a wheelchair in the carriage. Whenever he needed to ride in the carriage, Qin Dian or a servant would help him get on. Mo Chuan didn't want Xiaoxiao to see his miserable appearance, so he said to her, "Go back."

He was very firm in his attitude. Xiaoxiao responded and returned to the house obediently. "Fifth Uncle, be careful on the road."

Mo Chuan nodded slightly, and his stern face looked much softer.

With Qin Dian's help, he stood up from the wheelchair. His legs were still weak, and when he stood up, almost all the weight of his body was on Qin Dian.

Qin Dian had been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he didn't feel tired supporting him. When he was about to help Mo Chuan onto the carriage, Mo Chuan's ears moved and he glanced in a direction not far away.

Qin Dian also followed his gaze and saw a carriage parked under the shadow of a tree, and two girls got out of the carriage.

Qin Dian knew Mu Xi and Mu Wen and whispered, "It's the carriage from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Mu Xi and Mu Wen also saw them.

Mo Chuan was wearing a crimson robe today. He pursed his thin lips slightly. The sunlight shone through the leaves, just covering half of his body. His unsteady appearance was inexplicably dazzling.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Duke of Anguo's Mansion are old friends. Normally, if Mu Wen met someone from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, she would always say hello. However, when facing this Fifth Master, she was a little timid and hesitated for a moment whether to go forward.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xi walked straight towards them, and Mu Wen followed him. Mu Xi didn't even say hello to Mo Chuan, but looked directly at Qin Dian, "Do you need help?"

Qin Dian quickly shook his head, "No need, thank you Miss Mu, I can do it alone."

Although Qin Dian said that one person would be enough, it was actually not an easy task to carry Mo Chuan onto the carriage. Mo Chuan never liked being touched by servants. When Qin Dian was around, Qin Dian always followed him, but today the servant didn't follow him at all.

Mo Chuan was tall and heavy, and his legs were weak. Every time Qin Dian lifted him onto the carriage, he was extremely careful, fearing that he would fall if he didn't hold on tightly enough.

Mu Xi didn't listen to him and directly held Mo Chuan's arm. The girl's arm was soft and Mo Chuan's body stiffened for a moment. He frowned, and while he was frowning, the two of them had already put him on the wheelchair.

Mo Chuan was in a good mood. He only glanced in Mu Xi's direction. He vaguely saw a thin figure and took the initiative to speak, "How can I help you with my little bit of strength?"

Mu Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "If I wasn't afraid that you would fall and alarm Xiaoxiao, who would help you?"

After she finished speaking, she snorted, turned around and left.

Mo Chuan couldn't help but grab the handrail, looking at the direction she left, and said with a click of his tongue, "You rude little girl, next time you see me, you should follow Xiaoxiao and call me Uncle Fifth, understand?"

Mu Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise. She hadn't expected Xiaoxiao to recognize him so quickly. However, considering that Xiaoxiao was always soft-hearted and easy to coax, she wasn't too surprised.

She pretended not to hear and directly pulled Mu Wen into Zhang's house, confronting him with the rudeness he had mentioned.

The guard at the door recognized them and let them into the mansion while asking a servant to go in and inform them.

After entering Zhang's house, Mu Wen asked curiously, "Why do you seem so familiar with him?"

Mu Xi said indifferently, "How can I be familiar with you?"

Seeing that she was too lazy to say more, Mu Wen tactfully did not ask any further questions. They came today to see if there was any help needed in the mansion, and they even brought a few maids and nannies with them.

Xiaoxiao just entered the house and learned that they had arrived. Xiaoxiao put away her sewing basket and went out to greet them with a smile.

Seeing them, Xiaoxiao smiled, "Sister Wen is here too."

Mu Wen is already married to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu was considerate and attentive, and always took good care of her. Mu Wen also had a good relationship with her aunt. Since there were no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, and she could be with her grandmother, her life was very comfortable. After she got married, she looked radiant because she was in a good mood.

She held Xiaoxiao's hand affectionately and said, "Tomorrow is your wedding day. I was worried about you, so I came to see you."

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Zhang Mansion were not far away. Mu Wen went back to take a look and came here with Mu Xi.

Zhong went to Prince Yan's Mansion. Since there was no mistress in the Mansion, she helped to make arrangements and was busy for most of the day.

Xiaoxiao was the most idle because Mu Xi and Mu Wen were there, so she stopped making boots and chatted with them.

Mu Wen came today, actually she had an important task to shoulder. When a girl gets married, her mother will give some advice on sex. Xiaoxiao has no mother, so Zhong gave this task to Mu Xi. After all, she is already married, so she can give some advice or two.

Mu Wen felt quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so she simply took the fire avoidance map that her mother had given her.

She had wanted to find a time when Mu Xi changed clothes and then give it to Xiaoxiao in private, but she didn't find a chance to be alone with Xiaoxiao until it was almost dark.

She had no choice but to say to Mu Xi, "Please step aside for a moment. Xiaoxiao and I have something to say."

Mu Xi was too lazy to move. She had already agreed with Mrs. Zhong that she would not go back home that night and would stay with Xiaoxiao for the night. She curled up on the couch without moving.

Hearing Mu Wen's words, he only glanced at her sideways, "You've been acting like a thief all day, can't wait for me to leave. I want to see if there's anything I can't listen to."

Mu Wen couldn't help but glare at her, feeling that her kindness was taken for granted. She wanted to send her away because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed, but when she saw that she refused to move, Mu Wen didn't avoid her anymore.

She handed the fire avoidance map to Xiaoxiao, touched the tip of her nose and said, "This is what my mother gave me before I got married. If you want to see it, you can take a look. Otherwise, you won't understand anything in the bridal chamber and make a fool of yourself."

Zhong Yu didn't have a concubine. In the bridal chamber, they tried twice before they succeeded. Thinking of those things, Mu Wen's cheeks burned intensely. She said quickly, "It will be a little painful at first, but bear with it. All girls have to go through this."

After she said that, she ran away quickly, feeling really embarrassed.

Xiaoxiao casually placed the booklet on the couch and chased after her to see her off. Mu Xi was too lazy to see her off. She picked up the booklet and glanced at it. When she turned to the picture of fighting figures, she paused and turned a few more pages. It was still the fighting figures, but their postures had changed a little. Mu Xi felt quite bored and threw the booklet back.

Xiaoxiao had just sent Mu Wen to the door. Mu Wen's cheeks were very red. Seeing her shy expression, Xiaoxiao also felt a little hot inexplicably and vaguely guessed why she was blushing.

On New Year's Eve, when she wanted to help Brother Pei, Brother Pei said to wait for the bridal chamber. Xiaoxiao was actually a little curious about what the bridal chamber was like. Before sending Mu Wen to the carriage, she couldn't help but whispered, "Does it really hurt?"

Xiaoxiao felt a little pain when Brother Pei bit her before, and she didn't know how painful it would be in the bridal chamber.

Mu Wen nodded, her face flushed deeply. She leaned over to Xiao Xiao's ear and whispered, "It will hurt the first few times, but you'll feel better after the pain. Don't be afraid."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly got on the carriage, as if there were some jackals, tigers or leopards behind her.

It was a quarter of an hour later when Xiaoxiao returned to Meiyuan. She immediately saw the fire avoidance map on the couch. Xiaoxiao had never seen these before. Seeing that the album had been opened, she knew that Mu Xi must have seen it.

Xiaoxiao turned a page and asked her, "Have you finished reading?"

Before Mu Xi could answer, Xiao Xiao saw the half-naked figures in the album. The first picture showed a girl with disheveled clothes, being pressed on the couch by a man.

This picture immediately reminded Xiaoxiao of some previous scenes. Her face instantly flushed. She had never expected that these were the things in the book.

Mu Xi said with a grin, "Tsk, why are you blushing so much? Has your cousin already made a move on you?"

Xiaoxiao refused to answer her question. She closed the fire avoidance chart and said to Muxi seriously, "You haven't even decided on a marriage yet, so don't read this."

Mu Xi couldn't help but curl her lips. She had been without a mother since she was young and had been forced to grow up at a very young age. These things were nothing to her.

She propped her chin up with one hand and smiled, "It's nothing more than the things between men and women. Even if I didn't watch it, I can guess a thing or two. But you, you should watch more, otherwise you won't be clueless when you get married. You can't let your cousin bully you for nothing. You have to learn some tricks."

As she spoke, she went to get the fire avoidance map, intending to learn and apply it immediately, and give Xiaoxiao some pointers. She couldn't rely on that girl Mu Wen at all.

Xiaoxiao put away the fire avoidance map and didn't allow her to look at it any longer. Mu Xi made a sound of complaint and leaned back on the couch.

With her company, Xiaoxiao's nervousness was relieved a lot. Xiaoxiao woke up before dawn. Mu Xi also got up early and asked the maid to prepare Xiaoxiao's face and put on makeup.

After daybreak, Zhong, Mu Wen, Zhong Miao and others came one after another. Each of them brought a gift. Xiaoxiao asked Luzhu to help collect them and write down the gifts from each person, as they would have to return the gifts in the future.

The maid took nearly an hour to put makeup on Xiaoxiao. Her skin was as white as snow and her face was as beautiful as a lotus. She was already stunningly beautiful without makeup. After putting on makeup, she was so beautiful that she almost didn't look like a real person.

Zhong Miao and others were all stunned and couldn't help but look at it again and again.

Xiaoxiao's mood gradually calmed down. Before she knew it, the auspicious time had arrived. When firecrackers were heard outside, Xiaoxiao knew that he had arrived.

Pei Xiuhan came to the backyard surrounded by the crowd. He was also dressed in red today. The man had an upright figure and a beautiful face. When he wore the red clothes, his handsome face seemed to glow and was extremely dazzling.

The sunlight shone directly down, covering him. His eyes, which were usually calm, were also filled with a smile, and for a moment they seemed to be sparkling, no longer as cold and distant as usual.

Zhang Li did not make things difficult for him, and Pei Xiu Han arrived at Xiaoxiao's residence smoothly. Xiaoxiao first noticed his boots. These boots were made by Xiaoxiao herself, and she recognized them at a glance.

Pei Xiu Han walked slowly up to her, and amid the jokes of the crowd, he took the little girl's hand and squeezed it. The man's hand was dry and hot, and it easily calmed Xiaoxiao's nervousness.

There were no elders in the mansion, so Xiaoxiao didn't need to say goodbye to her parents. Although the Anguo Mansion sent people over, they were all driven away by Mo Chuan.

Xiaoxiao only spoke a few words to Mo Chuan before she was carried on the bridal sedan by Zhang Li. After getting in the sedan, Xiaoxiao became a little nervous again. The two mansions were not far apart, and although they went around in a circle, it didn't take much time to arrive at Prince Yan's Mansion.

Pei Jing also came today. Pei Xiuhan originally didn't want to let him come, but seeing that he insisted on coming, he couldn't drive him away in front of everyone, so he had to let him in.

Xiaoxiao had been instructed by Mrs. Zhong, and although she was a little nervous, she followed all the etiquette correctly. After the couple bowed to each other, she was sent to the bridal chamber.

Mu Xi and others went to the bridal chamber again and watched the scene of the two drinking the wedding wine. One of them was handsome and the other was charming. When they sat together, it was really pleasing to the eyes. Even Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but sigh in her heart that only a lovely girl like Xiaoxiao could be worthy of him.

Xiaoxiao felt a little nervous for no reason. After everyone left, there were only two of them left in the room. After meeting his deep and gentle eyes, Xiaoxiao's nervousness dissipated a little.

She couldn't help but curl her lips and called out "brother", and the next moment the man scratched her nose.

"You should call me husband."

Xiaoxiao's cheeks felt hot, she was so embarrassed that she opened her red lips but couldn't scream.

The girl was charming and shy, like a bewitching fairy. Pei Xiuhan lowered his head and kissed her lips, then took off the phoenix crown from her head and said, "I've asked the maid to prepare dinner. You should eat something later and wait for me to come back."

Xiaoxiao blushed and nodded, whispering, "Brother, don't drink so much."

Pei Xiuhan nodded with a smile.

After taking a bath, Xiaoxiao changed into a light red dress. She waited for a long time. The waiting process was undoubtedly very painful. She couldn't help but pick up the fire avoidance map and secretly read a few pages.

She has always been a hardworking girl who wants to do everything to the best of her ability. Although her face turned red, she was amazed after seeing the many postures.

She read a few more pages before she understood what exactly was to be done in the bridal chamber, and then she put away the fire avoidance map.

Pei Xiuhan returned only after the guests had left.

He tugged at his clothes and went to take a shower before entering the bridal chamber. When he saw her small figure, Pei Xiuhan's heart was burning with passion. He picked her up by the waist and placed her on the couch. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head. She couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and sniffed his cheek. "It smells very strong of alcohol. Did you drink a lot?"

Pei Xiuhan had indeed drunk quite a bit. He was in a good mood and accepted everything that was offered to him. However, because he had a good alcohol tolerance, he was not very drunk at the moment.

Pei Xiuhan kissed the girl's red lips.

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the night was getting darker. When the curtains fell, they blocked the view on the bed. Under the candlelight, only the figures of the two people could be seen gradually sticking together.

At some point, a girl's gasp was heard in the room. She bit her lips obediently, thinking that she could just hold it in, but in the end she couldn't hold it back and tears fell one by one.

Pei Xiuhan lowered his head and kissed the girl's eyes, coaxing her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."

Xiaoxiao suppressed her tears, hugged his neck, and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice, "Brother, will you always be good to me?"

Pei Xiuhan kissed her lips and said, "Silly girl, if I'm not good to you, who else can I be good to? Whether it's this life, the next life, or the rest of your life, you will be with your brother, okay?"

His words were too tempting. Xiaoxiao nodded heavily. No one knew that she loved him terribly. She had tossed and turned for him for countless days and nights, and was extremely grateful that he could respond to her feelings.

Thinking about it this way, the pain doesn’t seem so scary anymore.

Xiaoxiao clung to his body tightly, kissed him on the lips, and whispered to him, "Brother, I will always treat you well, for all eternity."

Pei Xiuhan's heart softened. At this moment, he wished he could rub her into his bones and blood. He held her in his arms and kissed her more deeply.

The night was long, and at some point, the moonlight shyly hid away, but the whispers between lovers in the room never stopped.
