Chapter 233: Wedding (Part 3)
Li Wanyue didn't expect him to say such indecent words. Is this still the elegant and handsome man?
She raised her hand to cover Xie Yan's eyes: "Don't look, Xie Yan, I didn't expect you to have such an indecent side."
Xie Yan pulled her hand down with a smile: "Call me husband. Also, being indecent with other women is just being a playboy, but being indecent with your own wife, how can it be called indecent? That's called the joy of the boudoir. My wife is very beautiful today, and I can't help myself as a husband."
Li Wanyue blushed slightly and asked him, "Aren't you going to entertain the guests?"
"Go." Xie Yan glanced at her hair bun and said, "It's very heavy, let someone help you remove your makeup. I'll have someone bring you some food. I know you're tired after a whole day, but don't go to bed yet. Wait for me to come back."
As he said that, he pinched her face and stood up.
Li Wanyue warned: "Drink less."
Xie Yan smiled and nodded: "Listen to my wife."
Qingqi came in after everyone left.
Li Wanyue looked around the room, which was full of red. On the wall in the middle of the outer room was a big red wedding character.
There were wedding candles burning on both sides of the table below, a few fruit plates were placed on the table, and smoke was rising from the incense burner on the table.
A red gauze curtain hung over the round halo, and in the inner room there was a golden nanmu hollow carved wedding bed, covered with a red mandarin duck quilt, sprinkled with red dates, peanuts, longans and melon seeds.
There were fresh flowers in blue and white porcelain vases on several flower tables in the room, and the whole room was filled with an elegant floral fragrance.
Seeing that she was standing still, Qingqi asked, "Miss... No, Madam, let me help you take off your hairpins and rings."
"good."
Just as she was taking off her hairpins and rings, a maid came in to report that the eldest daughter of the Qin family had arrived and wanted to see her.
She quickly invited someone in.
Qin Yuzhen walked in and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, you look so beautiful today. This wedding dress is so beautiful."
Li Wanyue smiled: "When you get married, you will be just as beautiful."
Qin Yuzhen's wedding date was approaching, and according to custom, she could not go to Li's house, so she came here directly.
The two talked for a while, and then Qin Yuzhen left. Her eldest brother didn't let her stay too long.
Li Wanyue took off her hairpins and rings, changed into light clothes, and felt much more relaxed instantly.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. After Li Wanyue answered, the nanny came in with several maids.
She bowed respectfully and said, "Madam, I will bring you some food."
"What's your name, Mammy?"
"My surname is Wen, Madam, you can just call me Madam Wen."
"There's Aunt Lowen."
"Madam, if you have anything to do, just tell me. Tomorrow, Madam will pick a few more people to serve you."
"good."
Nanny Wen set the table and was about to help Li Wanyue serve the dishes, but Li Wanyue waved her hand and said, "Nanny Wen, I can do it myself."
"yes."
Nanny Wen put down her chopsticks and stood aside.
Qingqi tidied up the things on the bed and made it again.
After Li Wanyue finished her meal and went to the ear room to wash up, it was already completely dark.
She was sitting on the couch reading a book when Xie Yan came back.
Qingqi retreated immediately.
He had changed his clothes and was holding a wooden box in his hands. He smelled slightly of alcohol, but it seemed that he had not drunk much.
Xie Yan looked at her and was relieved to see that she was not unhappy.
He had tried to drink as little as possible, but he still drank a lot after receiving toasts from each table.
Afraid that the smell was too strong and would bother Li Wanyue, he drank some sobering soup and ate some fruit to overcome the smell after entertaining the guests.
After washing and changing clothes, he came over.
He put the box on a small table nearby, sat down next to her, and asked, "Is the food to your liking?"
"It's delicious. I'm not a picky eater, and it tastes like the food at Baiweilou."
"It's the cook there. I specially invited one to come here. If you want to eat anything in the future, just ask Aunt Wen to tell the kitchen. By the way, Aunt Wen is the one who took care of me when I was young. She is trustworthy. If I'm not at home, you can go to her if you have any problem."
"Hmm." Li Wanyue stared at the wooden box and asked, "What's in it?"
Xie Yan opened the box and showed her that there was a thick layer of paper inside.
He said, "Here are the house deeds, land deeds, bank notes and some money, the gift list and account books for our wedding, and the various account books of this mansion. I will have the housekeeper give them to you tomorrow. All the things have been stored in the warehouse. When we go to Beijing to hold a thank-you banquet in the future, the people there will also send a batch of gifts. I will trouble you to take care of the family in the future."
Li Wanyue took a rough look and saw that the last line of the bank's deposit note showed a balance of 230,000 taels, more than ten house deeds and land deeds, and more than 50,000 taels of silver notes. Wow, they were quite rich.
Seeing her eyes shining with gold, Xie Yan couldn't help but ask, "Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, but you already have a housekeeper to take care of the accounts. I just need to check the accounts from time to time. I don't want to be in charge."
"As long as you are happy, anything is fine." Xie Yan said as he held her in his arms: "We will live our lives here from now on, enjoying flowers in spring, listening to the rain in summer, planting chrysanthemums in autumn, and watching the snow in winter. It's simple and warm, and I'll feel very happy."
Li Wanyue agreed: "It's the same as what I thought. I also like this kind of life."
Xie Yan smelled her fragrance and hugged her horizontally: "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, don't waste it."
After saying that, he carried the person to the bed.
The gauze curtain fell, and the nervous and excited heart got closer and closer. The red candles swayed, and the room was full of beauty.
The brocade quilt is warm with red waves, the black hair is entangled with each other, the fragrant sweat melts the jade bones, and the oriole's voice is soft and sweet.
The hibiscus warms the tent, soft words are whispered, and red candles burn all night long.
The next day, Nanny Wen looked at the sun and thought about waking people up, after all, she was still waiting for someone to serve her tea.
But Xie Yan didn't get up either, so she didn't know what to say.
Li Wanyue woke up slowly, opened her eyes and saw a handsome face, then she found herself lying in Xie Yan's arms.
I am already married.
Thinking about last night, her face felt a little hot. He was very gentle, understanding that this was her first time, and even though she might not have had enough, she restrained herself from continuing.
So she didn't feel any discomfort.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xie Yan say, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I've slept well, but don't I still have to serve tea? It's not good to keep the elders waiting."
"There's no rush. I told them yesterday that I'll go later."
As he spoke, he pushed her back and said softly, "In the morning, the orioles are singing, the beauty is waking up from sleep, lie down for a while."
He lay down for another incense stick of time before getting up.
Nanny Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked someone to bring water and help her wash up.
Li Wanyue hadn't washed her face with a copper basin for a long time, but the garden had a flush toilet and the bathroom was also well built.
After washing up, the two went to the front hall.
We met Old Man Shen and his wife on the way, and we went to the front hall together.
Xie Zhenghuai and Shen Jinyu had been waiting for as long as an incense stick had lasted. They were feeling a little annoyed because it was not right for the new bride to make her elders wait on the first day she got married.
But seeing that they came with Mr. and Mrs. Shen, it was hard to say anything.
The old couple Shen sat in the upper seats, and Li Wanyue offered tea to the elders of the Xie and Chen families one by one, greeting each other as peers.
I received another wave of gifts. The jewelry given by the three aunts of the Shen family were very valuable, while the ones given by the Xie family were quite ordinary.
Old Mrs. Shen gave her another set of headgear.
After the tea and greetings, we went to have breakfast.
By the way, I asked when I would return to Beijing to hold the wedding banquet.
Then they went back to their own places.
