When the guests had left and it was late at night, Pei Ji stepped into the bridal chamber.
In the room, Xue Huan had already lifted her veil and was sitting on the couch by the window, eating with her legs crossed.
She ate the three-fresh wontons, sweet and sour radish strips, and two perfectly fried eggs, which she enjoyed very sweetly.
Pei Ji suffered a lot of trouble. Guan Yue dragged him to drink a lot of wine.
"Hanhan, I feel so uncomfortable." He sat down and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Xue Huan was instantly surrounded by a strong smell of alcohol.
"Come, drink the sobering soup." Xue Huan fed him the sobering soup that the cook had already prepared.
Pei Ji leaned on her obediently and drank the sobering soup without leaving a drop.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Xue Huan touched his face and felt a little distressed when she saw that it was red. Although he looked like a grown man, he was a child at heart.
"I'm hungry." He rubbed against her arms, his tone coquettish.
With the innocence and dependence of a three-year-old child.
However, at this moment he has the handsome face of a mature man.
Xue Huan felt that she really couldn't bear it anymore. She silently said to herself, "This is still a child, this is still a child." Then, she calmed down.
"Come, I'll feed you."
The two of them gathered together, ate and drank their fill, took a shower, and then went to bed.
"Hunhuan, hold me." Pei Ji, despite his big body, managed to nestle himself in Xue Huan's arms, and took her hand and put it on his waist.
Although he was clingy before, he was never so direct and explicit. The reason he was like this today was probably because he was drunk.
Xue Huan thought he was extremely adorable, and her maternal instincts were aroused. She embraced him lovingly, patting his back rhythmically with one hand as if coaxing a child, and humming a lullaby softly.
She felt that after staying with him for so long, she was really about to become his old mother.
Pei Ji nestled in her arms contentedly, holding her with both arms. The hot air from his breath sprayed into her neck, making her feel itchy.
She wanted to stay away from him, but every time she moved, he followed her. In the end, she was almost sticking to the wall and had to stop this childish behavior.
Three days later, on the day of returning home, Xue Huan and Pei Ji returned to Shanghe Village together in a donkey cart.
Xue's mother had been looking forward to it for a long time. When she saw the two of them, she happily led them into the house, one on each side, and asked Xue Yao to go to the kitchen to serve them the chicken soup in the clay pot.
Xue Huan laughed, "Mom, I'm not really getting married, why are you making soup for me? Just do it as a token of your appreciation."
Mother Xue pursed her lips and said angrily, "Then don't drink."
Xue Huan immediately changed her tone, "That's impossible. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past three days. I'm not used to being outside at all. Home is still better. I just miss the food at home."
He drank the chicken soup happily.
Xue's mother smiled brightly: "If it tastes good, drink more. There's plenty."
Then he asked Pei Ji lovingly, "Akang, didn't Huan'er bully you?"
Pei Ji shook his head, "Huanhuan is fine."
Mother Xue looked at the two of them sitting together drinking soup and felt very sorry. If only Akang hadn't lost his memory, the two of them would be such a perfect match.
Of course, if Akang hadn't lost his memory, the two of them probably wouldn't have been destined to be together.
Many things in this world are hard to explain.
After having a man in the family, the impact soon became apparent. First of all, the number of idlers and gossipers hanging around here suddenly decreased a lot.
There is always trouble around a widow. Many times, it is not the widow who brings trouble, but the trouble comes to her on its own initiative.
Before Xue's father was away, the idlers in the village would come here every few days. They would either squat on the roadside in groups of three or two, and point and criticize Xue's mother as soon as she went out. Their eyes and actions made people feel very uncomfortable. Or they would deliberately come in front of Xue's mother and say dirty words shamelessly, which made Xue's mother very annoyed.
This is also the reason why she rarely goes out.
Not only Xue's mother, but Xue Huan also encounters this situation sometimes.
If you beat up these people, they will fall down on the spot and try to extort money, as if they have suffered serious injuries and will not be able to get rid of them from then on. If you don't beat them up, they will be too disgusting.
But now that Pei Ji is at home, things are different. There are immediately fewer idlers in front of the door.
These people also know which way the wind is blowing, and knowing that the Xue family now has a backer, they dare not provoke them. After all, they are just cowards.
Secondly, Xue Huan felt that her family had regained its standing in the eyes of the villagers.
Although she knew that she could support the family, the world looked down on women, and others did not think that a girl like her had any ability.
When she went out before, the villagers always looked at her with sympathy, pity and a faint sense of superiority.
Now, those people have focused their attention on Pei Ji, caring about her and his married life, and even making some dirty jokes.
Xue Huan took it easy on herself and if the question was hard to answer, she would pretend to be shy and avoid it.
Gradually, the villagers stopped caring. After all, everyone was busy at that time, with a lot of work to do, so who would have the time and energy to gossip?
After a series of twists and turns, the Xue family's life finally entered a period of stability.
"Mom, okay, you go back. I will only explore the periphery and will not go deep into the mountain." Xue Huan stood at the foot of the mountain.
Pei Ji was standing next to him, carrying a bow and arrow and a machete on his waist, dressed like a hunter.
That’s right, the two of them are going into the mountains to hunt.
Their family was originally a hunter family, and Xue Huan did not plan to make any big changes for the time being, so she decided that her daughter would follow in her father's footsteps and continue the family business of hunting.
Of course, she mainly wanted to use hunting as an opportunity to wander around the mountains and collect some good things.
At the same time, she also wanted to try to find Xue's father. Although the hope of finding Xue's father was very slim, what if?
Xue's mother accompanied the two of them all the way down the mountain, repeatedly reminding them not to go deep into the mountains.
Xue Huan agreed to all of them.
However, she had already made up her mind to explore the mountains carefully. With the Five Elements Beads in her hand, her safety was guaranteed.
As for Pei Ji, Xue Huan had also given him some simple training recently, and the result was surprising. He was even more skilled in hunting than her. He was a little unfamiliar with the bow and arrow at first, but he quickly mastered the rhythm, and the arrows he shot were surprisingly accurate.
She also experimented with living creatures, and was able to accurately shoot them from hundreds of meters away.
This is simply the legendary archer who can shoot an arrow through a hundred paces!
But when she thought of his previous identity, she felt relieved. After all, he was the emperor's son, and a legitimate son at that. His educational resources must be good. He might have more than a dozen masters. With such an education since childhood, it would be strange if he was not excellent.
But despite being such an outstanding person, he ended up with injuries all over his body and his body thrown into the water.
I can only say that the competition in the royal family is too fierce.
