Chapter 52: Not bad, exciting
When Xie Yunshuo and Jiang Si went to various mansions to apologize, there happened to be another important event.
In order to pray for good fortune and luck, the General's Mansion is holding a banquet to wish the Xie family's sons who are about to go to war.
Before the emperor's farewell banquet, the Xie family held a private banquet to entertain relatives and friends, invite guests widely, accumulate blessings for General Xie Jun and others, and also meet with guests' relatives.
Military generals should be ready to face death with equanimity. If they die on the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for their country, this Shunfeng Banquet will be the last time for their relatives and friends to meet the generals and soldiers.
The Xie family has produced countless military generals, some of whom guarded distant states, some served in the imperial city, and some defended the border against enemies.
This time, three generations of the Xie family's eldest branch went on the expedition together, which was a grand event that had not happened in many years.
Father and son fought together. Grandfather Xie Jun, who was in his sixties, was in charge of the camp. The only ones who actually went to the battlefield were General Xie Xingxiu and his son Xie Yunshuo.
Before this, Xie Yunshuo followed his father and grandfather to the frontier, but he did not lead troops to fight, but only gained experience on the battlefield.
This time it means something different.
According to the emperor's promise of reward, Xie Yunshuo would be the main force in this expedition, so the Xie family held a grand banquet at the suggestion of the general and the old lady.
By then, everyone related to Xie Yunshuo will be present, from close relatives to colleagues and friends.
As his wife, Jiang Si also had to invite more people and agree to this important banquet.
So, she went to the house to give gifts and apologize, and also handed over an invitation.
Because he found a good excuse that day, saying that Xie Yunshuo was bitten by a snake, no one asked much questions and no one cared about him.
The generous gifts prepared by the young couple made everyone smile. Several of them were close friends with Jiang Si, so they were not angry with Jiang Si for such a small matter. Moreover, there were good things to get for free, so even Xiao Qiangyue, who disliked Xie Yunshuo, was in a good mood.
He was so kind as to ask him a question.
The Shunfeng Banquet is equivalent to the Xie family's own farewell banquet. For such a grand event, Jiang Si, as the young lady of the mansion, needs to entertain the Jiang family members, relatives of the Jiang family, and friends of Jiang Si who are present on the day, and also needs to make preparations in advance.
Therefore, in the few days since returning from their trip, Jiang Si and Xie Yunshuo have been busy preparing for this matter.
After Jiang Si married into the Xie family, it was the first time she experienced such a grand banquet. She followed her mother-in-law Xia Rongyi, half watching and half learning, arranging servants and taking care of household chores, and had almost no free time during the day.
Xie Yunshuo was often busy with trivial matters and was not at home. He only returned to his room at night, and the couple could have a short time alone.
It's like dry wood and raging fire, or water droplets and boiling oil.
After the unspeakable incident in the carriage, it seemed as if the seeds of some disaster had been planted. The feeling of being neither up nor down made people feel like they were in a bottomless pit.
When you are in a room with the door closed, the only thing you think about is finding ways to fill the hole in your heart.
All the things that Xie Yunshuo had moved to the study were gradually moved back without him noticing.
These things were even done when Jiang Si was not around.
Before she paid her respects and left in the morning, Jiang Si's own clothes were still hanging on the boxes and clothes hangers in the bedroom. When she came back in the evening, she saw that the official uniform that Xie Yunshuo was going to wear when he went out the next day was hanging on the clothes hanger in the inner room.
The clothes were held up by a wooden frame, and the maids had ironed them with a charcoal stove, making them straight and elegant.
The patterns on the facial features are mighty and powerful, like thunder.
An official uniform was hanging there, with a high collar that exceeded Jiang Si's head.
The hanging clothes were flat, making people look taller than when they were worn. Looking at the official uniform hanging high, Jiang Si felt that if she wore it, it would probably drag on the ground.
Therefore, she couldn't help but imagine how imposing Xie Yunshuo would look when wearing this robe.
She thought silently, walked slowly closer, and touched the embroidery pattern on it.
Her hand touched the plain satin of the official uniform, which felt stiff and solid. Unconsciously, Jiang Si recalled Xie Yunshuo's hug in the carriage.
His scorching body temperature and broad frame felt like a foreign object like a stone when placed on someone.
His slender finger bones spread out and pinched her waist, not gripping but tightening.
As soon as she recalled it, she felt a strange touch all over her body. She always felt that no matter what posture she made, whether standing or sideways, her body was not smooth.
I don’t know when Xie Yunshuo will come back today.
In order to divert her attention, Jiang Si read the guest list given to her by her mother-in-law over and over again five times, reciting it as she went along.
She had memorized about 70% of the guests who were going to come to the general's mansion, but by the middle of the night, Xie Yunshuo had not returned yet.
This is the latest time he has returned in recent days.
Because of the Shunfeng Banquet, both of them were suddenly very busy. They had been together day and night for a while, but suddenly they only saw each other a few times a day. At first, Jiang Si didn't feel anything.
Looking back on it these past two days, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Xie Yunshuo was a bit of a troublemaker, and the two of them were disrespectful to each other, not even as good as guests.
Even if they are familiar with each other, they will still quarrel from time to time.
When they were quarreling, she thought he was causing trouble and not letting her have peace.
But since I didn’t see him, I couldn’t help but miss him.
I miss the rich and colorful mood when he was with me.
He came back from the palace yesterday at midnight without waking her up, and left early in the morning.
It was like not seeing each other for more than a day, and Jiang Si's surroundings became much quieter.
Thinking about this, Jiang Si gradually fell asleep, feeling a sense of emptiness somewhere.
She was the only one on this large rosewood bed.
But she still slept on the inside, leaving the outside for Xie Yunshuo.
The lights were left on and the windows were open.
The night is deep and the dew is heavy, and the coldness is filled with loneliness.
I don’t know how long I slept, but around the second watch, a tall and warm body came close to me.
The man opened his arms and gently lifted Jiang Si and the mattress into his arms.
At this time, Jiang Si was still in a dream and her consciousness was unclear. She was unable to accurately realize that someone was hugging her.
At first, Xie Yunshuo suddenly appeared in her dream, and seemed to be pulling her into his arms little by little through the mattress. She thought it was a dream.
Until there was a gentle landing on the cheek, the soft touch of the two petals brought a strange feeling.
Another arm as sharp and determined as a python came in, found the right position, invaded without hesitation, moved slowly but with firm momentum, and took it step by step.
Jiang Si woke up, her mind switched between light and dark, and she returned to clarity from confusion.
The intention became reality, and he really came back.
Jiang Si said angrily, "You're back, so why did you wake me up?"
She was sleeping soundly, and he had no good intentions by doing this.
Because she had just woken up, even when she was scolding him, her voice was somewhat gentle.
As soon as Jiang Si opened her mouth, Xie Yunshuo's movements became more intense, moving down along her neck, making Jiang Si so itchy that her whole body was in a mess.
The quilt she was holding was pulled away, and Xie Yunshuo stood up.
Seeing his posture, Jiang Si knew that something was going to happen. She opened her eyes, lay on her back, and looked up.
Xie Yunshuo took off his outer shirt.
"One day without seeing you feels like three autumns. Three autumns are meaningless, my mind is full of you. Even if it's the second watch, please allow me to have a good meal, how about that?"
He was so shameless and unscrupulous that he stripped off her clothes while talking.
It was so sudden that Jiang Si held her breath and was greatly shocked.
Xie Yunshuo's bold enthusiasm dispelled the coldness of the night, and Jiang Si felt hot just by looking at him.
I really didn't expect that he came back at night not just to have sex with her to comfort his lovesickness, but to deliberately seduce her, wake her up, and do something indecent.
When Jiang Si noticed, he had already leaned down. His hot body was strong and powerful, and his skin exuded a faint fragrance of soap.
It seemed that he went somewhere else to take a bath and wash himself before coming to see her.
Xie Yunshuo raised his arm from her side, and Jiang Si's arm rested on his arm. His long arm was warm, tight and powerful.
According to Jiang Si's temper, she should not allow him to make trouble late at night.
But compared with the loneliness before going to bed just now, the warm and sincere body that approaches actively at this moment makes people feel really happy.
Jiang Si didn't realize that even her anger was accompanied by a smile.
The person is not fully awake yet, still in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, his face is serene, no longer empty and cold.
What Xie Yunshuo said seems to be right, a day without seeing you feels like three years.
Although she didn't feel it had lasted that long, she still missed him a little.
The emptiness in my heart when I was thinking about him was now filled with his body warmth and intimacy.
Xie Yunshuo was frank and honest, and his intentions were as clear as if he was speaking frankly about what he was going to do.
Jiang Si's mind changed, but because she didn't say anything, Xie Yunshuo didn't know. He thought she would think he was meddling and didn't like him disturbing her peace and ruining her sleep.
Afraid that she would be unhappy, he did his job conscientiously, did his best to be perfect, and was thoughtful in every way, serving her from head to toe.
His mouth and hands never stopped moving, with strength but not force, and everything was appropriate but not disruptive.
Xie Yunshuo thought that she was disturbed from sleeping and was in a bad mood, so he should pay more attention to her.
Jiang Si was in a daze, and it was hard to describe the feeling all over her body. She just closed her eyes and followed Xie Yunshuo's movements, feeling like a small boat floating on the sea.
She did nothing but lay on the bed, with her hands supported and her waist cushioned.
I was tossed over and over again... tossed over and over again.
The word "trouble" is not appropriate.
Xie Yunshuo was more patient and steady in causing trouble tonight than he had been in the past few days.
He used his hands to massage Jiang Si's shoulders and legs, rubbing and pressing various parts of her body, just like he was giving her a massage.
The wrist is used with skill.
Jiang Si felt comfortable for a moment, then her face flushed and her whole body trembled.
Only when she couldn't bear it anymore and raised her hand to stop him did Xie Yunshuo stop.
He hugged her again, holding her in his arms and comforting her.
"When there's a flood, it's better to drain it than to block it."
Jiang Si pursed her lips and scolded him, "You're a wandering scoundrel."
Before he could finish his words, someone came over and took over forcefully.
It is the dead of night, when everything is quiet, and the tent is filled with red waves and passionate emotions.
Jiang Si's heart was beating wildly, and she reminded Xie Yunshuo countless times to slow down, even slower.
Even though no one saw it, in his own yard, in his own room, on the most normal bed, it was still embarrassing because of what Xie Yunshuo did.
The more embarrassing the love, the deeper the love.
They held each other tightly, inseparable, without a single gap.
Xie Yunshuo panted: "I can't slow down."
He was willing to listen to her and try to go slower, but the throbbing in his chest prevented him from doing so.
He wanted to do it faster and more passionately so that he could vent the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time and had nowhere to be released and could not be expressed.
It can only be expressed by becoming tangible.
He was just a military man. Although he had learned literature and had some literary talent, he could not compose poetry to express his gradually emerging feelings.
He could only express his love for Jiang Si through his actions.
The deeper the love, the longer the separation, the harder it is to express.
It was as if the person was tripped by something, unable to open his mouth and not knowing what to say.
Xie Yunshuo grabbed Jiang Si's wrist and asked her to touch and feel his heartbeat, pulse, temperature, and those things that he couldn't say.
He hugged her tightly and asked, "Do you feel it?"
Jiang Si had already lost her mind and was completely bewildered. She had no time to listen to his indirect words.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, only a few impressions remained, and I felt a hazy, full, and boundless sincerity.
How could I not feel it? I felt it all over my body.
After waiting for more than a day, Xie Yunshuo fed her a full meal. After the full meal, she felt dizzy, satisfied and even tired.
Seeing that she didn't want to move, Xie Yunshuo took a handkerchief to wipe it.
He succeeded in his thoughts, with a raised corner of his mouth and his long hair not untied falling on his broad shoulders.
Seeing that Jiang Si was lazy, delicate and listless, Xie Yunshuo leaned over and pecked the corner of her mouth.
"I just asked you, but you haven't answered me yet."
"What?" Jiang Si came to her senses a little and had time to reply.
He looked at her beautiful eyes, which were sparkling with water and contained a hint of eroticism. Staring at Xie Yunshuo like this, the words on the tip of his tongue were unable to come out.
"...I'm asking you, do you feel any different than before?"
Jiang Si looked at him twice, thinking inwardly, with a half-smile on her face.
But that smile was also tinged with embarrassment.
"Not bad, very energetic."
Because she had been staring at Xie Yunshuo and could see that he didn't seem satisfied, Jiang Si asked jokingly, "What do you want to hear? This isn't enough."
Her praise was sincere, so why didn't he appreciate it?
Xie Yunshuo put away the soft handkerchief, came back, arranged the messy mattress, and moved Jiang Si to a dry place.
He was silent for a long time because he didn't know what to say. He could make mistakes, but he couldn't say anything sticky.
What Xie Yunshuo wanted to hear was not the appearance, but the inner image.
Why is he working so hard and trying so hard to please others?
He didn't explain clearly, and Jiang Si didn't know what he was thinking. She thought he just minded that her praise was not good enough.
But even if she was asked to put it in a nicer way, she couldn't say it, after all, this was not an ordinary matter.
Since Xie Yunshuo didn't ask any further questions, she just let it go.
The two of them moved to a dry place together. It was already four o'clock in the morning. They were full and tired from playing, so they fell asleep faster than usual.
Jiang Si fell asleep and didn't notice what was on Xie Yunshuo's mind at the moment.
Before I fell asleep, I heard him say that he was busy with recent things and had to organize the army and prepare it for the expedition, so he had no time to come back.
Originally, the time left for him to get married and spend the rest of his life was the previous half month, but unfortunately, the two of them went from negative to positive, and it was not until Xie Yunshuo's leisurely days were almost over that they found the feeling of being a couple.
It became busy suddenly, as if the endless stream of living water was suddenly cut off.
From now on, we will probably only be able to be alone together at night.
Before he could finish his words, he heard Jiang Si's breathing in her sleep, and Xie Yunshuo felt mixed emotions.
I feel satisfied, but at the same time, half of it is left empty.
Did she know what he wanted to say?
Do you not know, or do you know but avoid it?
He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to.
If the answer is not good, it is better not to break the window paper and just remain confused.
When we are not together, we are busy with our own things, but when we meet, it is like a fire boiling in the sky.
If only Jiang Si could remember his existence, his body, or even just remember him rubbing her body, that would be fine.
Forget it, go to sleep.
Xie Yunshuo quickly figured it out.
In fact, the way they get along now has far exceeded his expectations.
In such a short time, we can't expect any big changes. Just like I thought just now, it's okay even if we just worry about his health.
Xie Yunshuo consoled himself and fell asleep.
