Since ancient times, women get married at dusk.
It was a fine morning.
Although it was already late autumn, the sun was still warm, shining through the layers of maple leaves and falling into the courtyard of the Xue Mansion. The maple red light and shadow actually had a warm and festive feel.
But it is unknown what the mood of the person who is about to get married is.
If the Xue family had only married off Xue Hanshu, there would not have been any need for such a grand wedding, but the other party happened to be the legitimate son of the Zhao family of Yongping Marquis Mansion. Even for the sake of the Zhao family's face, the wedding could not be too simple.
It was not yet time for her to get married, and there were still a few hours before the guests arrived.
It was at this time that the Fu family arrived.
Jiangxuexuan.
The small window lets in sparse light and shadow.
Compared to the busy wedding banquet elsewhere in the Xue Mansion, this place seemed particularly quiet.
Xue Zhiyi's slender white fingers twisted an eyebrow pencil and carefully traced it.
Her appearance was not stunning, but very gentle and kind, especially her eyes which were bright and penetrating, as if carrying the moonlight, and looked particularly innocent and harmless.
Su Yue's voice was like petals falling on a pond, creating ripples in the silence at the moment.
"Miss, the people from Madam's family have arrived and are having a banquet in the main hall. Madam wants you to come over."
Xue Zhiyi raised his hand and gently touched his lips with his rouge-stained fingers. The child's delicate mouth was like a slowly opening petal, suddenly fresh and tender.
She responded with a faint smile on her lips: "I know."
Today she was wearing a smoky pink dress. As the weather turned colder, she also wore a short-sleeved jacket with rabbit fur trim, which made her look cute yet dignified.
Her fingers lingered on the table for a while, and finally she chose a hibiscus silk flower to stand by her hair, and also chose an agate hairpin. Although the style was simple, the quality of the agate on it was obviously not vulgar.
After looking at herself in the mirror and making sure she was dressed properly, she stood up and said to Su Yue and Qiu Yun, "Let's go. Don't keep my uncle and the others waiting."
…
main hall.
In order to entertain the Fu family, Fu Ling set up the meal in advance.
As soon as Xue Zhiyi arrived at the door of the main hall, he heard laughter from inside.
She lifted her skirt and stepped in.
There was a round table in the main hall, and the maids and servants stood in a row serving.
Xue Zhentong and Fu Ling sat at the head of the table, followed by Fu Wei and his wife Hu Shuixian.
In order, the next one is Xue Tingsheng, then Tang Jinglei and Xue Ruoyu.
Aunt Rong's family was not present, so the children of the Fu family sat at the end.
When Xue Zhiyi arrived, the couple was chatting and laughing with Fu Wei.
Her aunt, Hu Shuixian, seemed to be a person of unrestrained temperament, with the demeanor of a merchant woman. At this moment, she was laughing loudly: "Zixian went to work on a ship for his father a while ago. He is still in Jiangnan and can't come back for a while. Even things like going to Huajing to attend the wedding banquet have been delayed."
This refers to Fu Zixian, the eldest son of the Fu family.
Fu Ling also joked: "That's a pity. I haven't seen Zixian in how many years? I thought he was just a child, but I didn't expect that he can already run a ship for his father!"
A round-faced, round-eyed girl, adorned with tinkling pearls and jade, interrupted, "If my brother knew how much Aunt misses him, he'd regret it to death!"
After not seeing each other for many years, Xue Zhiyi recognized that this person was none other than Fu Jiamin, the youngest daughter of the Fu family. Just like in her previous life, she still had terrible taste and wanted to hang as much money as she had on her body.
Next to her was another girl who was a few years older than her. She looked somewhat similar to her, but her temperament was completely different.
The girl was wearing a plain moon-white dress and a simple headdress. She was serious and even when she smiled, she would just purse her lips and cover her mouth lightly with a handkerchief.
She was even more dignified when sitting, with her neck and shoulders unusually straight.
This is Fu Jiahui, the eldest daughter of the Fu family.
And beside Fu Jiahui... Xue Zhiyi's heart suddenly tightened.
Although equally dignified, the person next to Fu Jiahui behaves in an unusually relaxed manner. Her dignified and elegant demeanor seems to emanate from within, without requiring any special attention, as if it is natural.
In such a contrast, Fu Jiahui does not seem dignified, but rather pretentious.
As if she had noticed something, the woman slowly turned her head and met Xue Zhiyi's eyes.
This woman has affectionate eyes and sparkling eyebrows. Although she looks a bit like Fu Ling and is a little thin, her affectionate eyes are unforgettable at first sight.
Such a beauty made the sisters Fu Jiamin and Fu Jiahui standing next to her look dull and dim.
It is no wonder that she is known as the most beautiful woman in Linzhou.
Whether in the past life or this life, Xue Zhiyi has never denied Fu Rongxin's appearance.
It was this face that gave Fu Rongxin many advantages in her previous life, and was also one of the weapons that allowed her to eventually climb to the throne.
The smile on Xue Zhiyi's lips deepened a little: Long time no see, Fu Rongxin.
The moment his eyes met hers, Fu Rongxin was obviously stunned for a moment.
But that moment of stunned expression was quickly drowned out by the smile that bloomed on the corner of her mouth.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and when she smiled, her eyes curved, adding a touch of stunningness to her appearance.
"Cousin Zhiyi."
She called out.
It was this sound that focused everyone's attention on the door of the main hall.
The eye contact just now made Xue Zhiyi feel strange in her heart: for some reason, she always felt that Fu Rongxin seemed a little different from her impression in her previous life.
