Chapter 13: Renovating the House and Going to the City
Early in the morning, Xiao Yuanyan ran down the mountain with Jiang Yuyan in his arms to tell his second father about the happy event. Jiang Yuyan then realized that Qinggong really existed!
As soon as her feet left the ground, Jiang Yuyan almost turned pale and screamed several times, but Xiao Yuanyan smiled and acted mischievously. Every time he mentioned Gao Fei, she hugged him tightly.
Perhaps because she trusted Xiao Yuanyan so much, Jiang Yuyan was no longer nervous and even a little excited, shouting "Fly, fly~", which really made her look like a child ten years later. She no longer looked like the rich lady she was back then!
Xiao Yuanyan also joined in the fun with her, his eyes full of doting.
Zhou Yuanshan and Zhou Yuanchun were very happy to hear about this. Several people enthusiastically discussed how to renovate and expand the house. Xiao Yuanyan's idea was to build two more rooms, one for the wedding room and one for Wanwan to bathe and wash her hands.
Zhou Yuanshan decided to hire more workers to speed up the construction, and it should be completed in a month. However, the wedding was tight, so the process had to be expedited. After the wedding date was set, he had to find a chef, order food, and order furniture for the new house.
Jiang Yuyan felt her scalp tingling after hearing this. This marriage was too tiring, so she advised, "Just keep it simple."
"That won't do. We have to marry her in a formal ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people." Xiao Yuanyan felt that the conditions were already simple and the etiquette could not be missed.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Yuanshan also smiled, his brows full of joy, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, we will make your wedding a decent one!"
In this case, Jiang Yuyan just went with them. After all, as the bride, she had the most free time.
Xiao Yuanyan and Zhou Yuanshan ran around contacting people and personnel, while Jiang Yuyan stayed at home with needle and thread and fine cotton cloth and hid in Xiao Yuanyan's original room to make underwear.
Underwear is easy to make, but bras.....can't hold her up without underwire. Jiang Yuyan thought about it, what material can replace underwire? Silver! It should be feasible to make it look like underwire, except it's expensive. It would be nice if it had elastic bands. Alas, the conditions in ancient times were difficult, so we could only make do. Jiang Yuyan worked quickly and barely made two sets to wear first.
Xiao Yuanyan and Zhou Yuanshan were very busy and arranged a lot of things. Finally, they decided to start repairing the house the day after tomorrow.
Now everyone in the village knew that Xiao Yuanyan was going to get married, and the young men followed him back to see the bride. After all, it was rare for a woman from another place to come to the village. Maybe after getting married, they would have a chance.
It was inconvenient to chase people away during a happy event, so Xiao Yuanyan's face became colder and colder. Fortunately, Jiang Yuyan had been hiding in the house and didn't come out, so these people left in dismay.
Zhou Yuanshan took care of the family affairs. Jiang Yuyan suggested going to the capital to sell sea pearls.
Lin County belongs to Yunzhou Prefecture, and the prefecture is about 200 miles away from Lin County. It would probably take a whole day to hire a horse carriage to get there. If you set out at dawn, you can reach the prefecture before sunset and stay in an inn. If everything goes well on the second day, you can sell the pearls, have fun in the prefecture, and get up early on the third day to return.
Jiang Yuyan calculated the time. She had already drawn some clothing drawings yesterday. Although it was still a preliminary version, it should take some time to perfect it after selling Haizhu. This way, she would not miss her appointment with Qin Shangyu.
After making up his mind, Xiao Yuanyan went to the village to arrange with Li Erzhuang to rent a bullock cart, and waited at the entrance of the village at five o'clock the next morning. In this way, he could reach Qingxi Town and rent a carriage before dawn.
The two returned to the bamboo house, and Jiang Yuyan took off all the remaining broken diamonds from her tattered dress, wrapped them in cloth, and then simply drew a few pieces of jewelry and accessories.
As a gift to Xiao Yuanyan, she wanted to make a jade hairpin with diamonds on it, which would be dazzling and extraordinary. The second gift was a black wristband, also inlaid with diamonds. This way, all the diamonds would be used up.
There are still two pieces missing. Jiang Yuyan wanted to order a ring similar to the silver ring in her hand. Men don't want an egg-shaped ring, plain silver looks good. The last piece is a jade pendant. A gentleman is like jade. Her Ayan is so simple, without any accessories on his body, unlike the men of this era, who are all flashy.
Based on the principle of dressing your own man, Jiang Yuyan thought proudly, I will also dress my man up with jewels and precious stones!
As they had to get up early the next day, they both went to bed early. When Xiao Yuanyan came to the door, Jiang Yuyan was dozing off and putting on her clothes crookedly. Xiao Yuanyan shook his head lovingly and quickly straightened the dress and belt.
The two of them hugged each other frequently these days, and Xiao Yuanyan was also very natural. The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains was large, so Xiao Yuanyan wrapped Jiang Yuyan tightly in his cloak, even covering her face, and then held her and flew down the mountain.
After changing from an oxcart to a horsecart, Jiang Yuyan became more carefree and slept soundly in Xiao Yuanyan's arms. He held her carefully and rarely shook her.
When someone was spying on him while renting a car and buying breakfast, Xiao Yuanyan would look back coldly. He was tall and majestic, and since he couldn't see anything, passers-by would stop thinking and leave.
When Jiang Yuyan woke up again, she found that it was already bright outside and the carriage had been going for a long time. She didn't feel uncomfortable lying on Xiao Yuanyan's body, and she didn't know how long he had been holding her.
So he tried to please her in a somewhat embarrassed way, "Ayan, is your arm sore? Can I rub it for you?"
Xiao Yuanyan was in good physical condition, but he was indeed a little uncomfortable after being motionless for such a long time. The main reason was that he couldn't help himself just thinking about her soft little hands rubbing against his body.
"Um."
Jiang Yuyan sat up straight, and her slender, warm little hands gently kneaded his arms. Xiao Yuanyan lowered his eyes to look at her, and felt that the pain had not healed, but his heart was itching.
After a while, Xiao Yuanyan handed her two buns, one with meat filling and one with vegetarian filling. Jiang Yuyan's eyebrows curved, and her red lips were shiny and bright as she ate.
"Wanwan, is it delicious?" Xiao Yuanyan's voice was slightly hoarse, his eyes were burning.
"It's okay, mainly because I'm hungry."
"I want to try it."
"Ah, but I'm almost done..."
“Hmm…”
The next second, Xiao Yuanyan's big hands clasped Jiang Yuyan's waist, and his warm lips covered hers.
Jiang Yuyan widened her eyes and saw that the eyelashes of the man who was close to her were trembling like butterfly wings, which easily revealed the man's nervousness and excitement.
“………..This is my first kiss…” Jiang Yuyan thought to herself, “I was caught off guard by this.”
Xiao Yuanyan's skills were still a little rusty, and after a while, both of them were a little out of breath. At this time, Xiao Yuanyan's eyes were a little moist, which was very different from his usual tough image.
Jiang Yuyan panted and wondered, "………..I'm afraid he forgot to breathe."
Jiang Yuyan blinked her eyes, and her warm hands touched his neck, calling out coquettishly: "Yuan Lang~"
Xiao Yuanyan shuddered and his ears almost stood up.
Jiang Yuyan's eyes were full of spring, and she said softly, "That's not how you kiss..."
After saying that, she moved forward, turned passive into active, and used the essence she had learned from various romance dramas to kiss the man so hard that his soul almost ascended.
Xiao Yuanyan stared blankly, "!"
Jiang Yuyan was very proud. How could she, a modern person and a top student, not know how to kiss? !
But soon she couldn't laugh anymore. Xiao Yuanyan put his hand into her hair and deepened the kiss, kissing her fiercely and urgently, as if he wanted to grab every inch of her breath.
Finally, Xiao Yuanyan let her go, gently stroked her lips with his fingers, and whispered in her ear: "Wanwan, you are so sweet."
The voice was mellow and deep, and Jiang Yuyan's ears trembled, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. Sure enough, men are talented in this kind of thing!
She glared at him, and Xiao Yuanyan laughed twice, then held her in his arms for a long time to comfort her.
It's just that this person seemed to have just discovered some new skill along the way, and he had to study it over and over again...
After a day's journey, they finally arrived at Yunzhou Prefecture in the evening. Xiao Yuanyan had been to the prefecture twice before, so he ordered the carriage to go straight to Zuixiangju.
This inn is not on the main street, but it is not far away and is quite safe. In addition, Zui Xiang Ju has a good wine called Shen Xian Zui, which is a must-stay for wine lovers.
Xiao Yuanyan put the veil on Jiang Yuyan and led her down from the carriage.
Jiang Yuyan was a little scared to stay alone. Xiao Yuanyan didn't hesitate and just asked for a room upstairs, and asked for an extra mattress to sleep on the floor next to it.
The waiter brought some food, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Yuyan began to appreciate this ancient inn with great interest.
This upper room is not small, with a bedroom and bathroom connected, like a small suite. It has antique decoration and a low couch in front of the window, which should be used for guests to enjoy the moon, drink tea and play chess.
There was another surprise when I opened the window. This inn was actually close to the moat, so this room could be considered a river view room.
There was only one fishing boat on the river at this time, and the fishing fire on the boat flickered. The water surface was sparkling, and the cold moon was reflected in it, which was really a unique artistic conception.
"After getting drunk, I didn't know the sky was over the water, and the boat was full of sweet dreams that pressed down the stars."
Jiang Yuyan was looking at the scenery from the window, but she didn't know that someone was also looking at her.
