What a joke, would she and Jin Xiwen have anything to talk about?
It’s good enough that we don’t fight.
What's more, Jin Xiwen has Jin Xiyan by her side. I don't know what's wrong with them recently, but their relationship has become very good.
If Jin Ting goes over, won't she be bullied by the two of them?
So she had no choice but to follow Jin Wade as the eldest young master and young lady of the general's mansion to greet the guests at the door.
The cold wind was blowing on her face. It seemed that Qin'er was right to ask her to put on more clothes in the morning.
She was now wearing a snow-white coat and deerskin boots, but she still felt chilly.
The most important thing is that Jin Wade actually asked her to count the gifts given by the guests.
She said she was worried about the servants' memorization. God knows what's wrong with her about math. Addition and subtraction within 100 are difficult, so why should she be doing statistics?
Jin Suting was opposed at first, and strongly opposed it.
Jin Wade said that if she didn't do the statistics, she would have to deal with the guests and call out their names and not mix them up.
Although she was eloquent and clever, she didn't know any of the guests.
So she went to count the gifts. Her hands, holding the brush, were red from the cold. She wrote down every detail, fearing she'd made a mistake. It was her wedding, and she was so concerned.
When a daughter of Fuding State got married, both the groom and the bride would hold a grand banquet.
Originally, Jin Suting thought that getting married meant the groom would come to pick up the bride and then they would go to the groom's house together for a stroll, eating, drinking and having fun.
Even though it was a marriage between two disgusting people, and two disgusting people at that, as long as there were delicious food and drinks, she didn't mind.
Who knew that the General's Mansion would have a banquet, invite guests, and count the gifts...
The work is almost done, and the guests have almost all arrived. Jin Suting is also writing down the number of gifts in great detail. It is finally time to take a break.
Jin Wade went into the general's mansion for something, leaving Jin Suting alone waiting at the door.
She rubbed her frozen little hands, breathed out hot air, and stamped her feet in deerskin boots back and forth on the snow.
People in the south have never seen such heavy snow, nor have they seen such bad weather.
"The Ninth Prince has arrived—"
The servant at the door suddenly shouted this, and Jin Ting became alert. She reflexively looked towards the road at the gate for the Ninth Prince's carriage.
It has been almost half a month since we last met.
He was still wearing his usual dark uniform. The weather was cold, so he put on a long robe made of ink-colored satin, which looked very nice.
He seemed to have lost a little weight, Jin Suting thought. The last time she saw him, his clothes were not so loose.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the Ninth Prince approaching her.
"What are you thinking about?"
He smiled again, like a ray of warm sunshine shining into the winter earth, melting the ice and snow and dispelling the cold.
"Ah, I..." Jin Suting didn't react for a moment.
Jin Wade hurried over here, his voice heard before he even arrived, "Greetings to the Ninth Prince, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. My younger sister is getting married today, and it is an honor for our general's mansion that the prince can come!"
He walked over to Jin Suting again, patted her as she was stunned, and said, "Greetings."
Jin Suting also reacted and bowed calmly, "I pay my respects to the Ninth Prince."
The Ninth Prince personally helped Jin Suting up and said, "No need to be so polite."
Someone said to Jin Wade with a half-smile, "I hope Master Jin won't blame me for coming here uninvited."
When asked by the Ninth Prince, Jin Wade quickly said no, no, and his attitude was very respectful and attentive.
He also didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would come to the General's Mansion. After all, the invitation was not sent to anyone in the Prince's Mansion.
"Then, Ninth Prince, it's cold outside, please take a seat quickly."
As he spoke, Jin Wade led the man to the general's mansion.
Jin Suting, who was left there with her hands and feet frozen, said to the Ninth Prince, her favorite male idol, "Your humble servant greets Your Highness."
Isn't it a bit too pitiful?
The cold icy rain hit her face randomly, so she had no choice but to sing in her heart, "Blow, blow, my pride is indulged."
——
Noon, the auspicious time arrives.
The big red veil covered Jin Xiwen's ugly face, but just looking at her figure, she was really a rare beauty.
Jin Suting sighed, although she is still a great beauty now.
But my former self was so ordinary that it couldn’t be more ordinary. I was as invisible as a tiny person in the vast crowd.
She was not good-looking, had a plain personality, and was not outstanding enough. All these reasons led to her having a miserable life in her previous life.
Jin Suting was still standing at the door, along with many people from the General's Mansion. The entire West Street was filled with the sound of trumpets from the wedding procession, with red wedding gowns stretching for ten miles and a sedan chair carried by eight people.
The groom, Yu Jingfeng, with a big red flower hanging on his chest, rode towards them on a white horse.
A white horse and red clothes, a bright young man.
He dismounted and walked towards his bride without looking away.
Jin Xiwen was carried on Jin Wade's back, covered with a veil, and could not see clearly in front of her.
Yu Jingfeng took Jin Xiwen from Jin Wade's back and held her in his arms like a princess.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and the people along the street were also happy to see it.
Everyone envied the second daughter of the general's mansion for marrying a good husband and the eldest son of the Yu family for marrying a good wife.
He carried Jin Xiwen into the carriage and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me, I'll see you soon."
Jin Xiwen's face under the veil was already red with shame. She punched his chest with her pink fist, looking coquettish.
Yu Jingfeng felt itchy in his heart. He only now realized that Jin Xiwen was such a gentle and virtuous woman, and was exactly his ideal wife.
Soon, the sedan chair moved away with the sound of music, and Jin Suting noticed that Mrs. Lu was secretly wiping away tears.
It's pitiful how pitiful the parents are. Their daughter is married off like this. And she married an unsatisfactory son-in-law. How could Mrs. Lu be happy?
The old general was very silent, saying nothing. When the sedan chair was out of sight, he turned and went into the general's mansion, where there were guests waiting for him to entertain.
After being busy for most of the day, I can finally have a good meal.
Jin Suting was so excited that her mouth was watering. There were big fish, shrimps, meat and crabs. Whatever she liked was on the table.
She was a member of the female family and ate in the inner courtyard. The Ninth Prince and the old general sat at the same table in the front hall.
After eating three bowls of rice, Jin Suting burped with satisfaction.
There weren't many family members in the general's mansion, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang were not at the same table with her, so she didn't have to pretend to be a lady from a wealthy family and eat to her heart's content!
After eating and drinking her fill, her mind turned to the front hall. Naturally, she used a walk as an excuse to go around to the rockery behind the front hall, trying to sneak a peek at what was happening inside the house, like a thief.
Not knowing what they were talking about, Jin Suting lay on the edge of the rockery and listened to the unrestrained laughter behind the screen.
It either belongs to her father or to one of her father's best friends.
It's so evil, it can't possibly be the Ninth Prince's.
