Chapter 38 The Second Day of the Wedding
The next morning, Xia Yanjing woke up and subconsciously looked at Shengxia's figure on the bed, but the bed was empty, with only neatly laid bedding left.
Xia Yanjing was about to sigh when he heard a slight noise in the yard. With a sudden thought, he quickly put on his coat, walked quickly to the door, gently pushed it open, and looked out.
In the yard, a figure was dancing flexibly, every movement was full of power. He was wearing a tight suit, with a strong posture, and his movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.
Xia Yanjing stood quietly at the door, staring at Shengxia's every move. Xia Yanjing felt as if he had been in a good mood all day.
At this moment, Shengxia seemed to notice Xia Yanjing at the door. He stopped what he was doing, turned around, and met Xia Yanjing's eyes.
Xia Yanjing looked at Shengxia and saw some beads of sweat on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks. Shengxia casually wiped the sweat off with his sleeves. This simple action looked particularly handsome in Xia Yanjing's eyes.
Xia Yanjing thought that Shengxia had been exercising in this early summer and had worked up a sweat, so she must be thirsty. He returned to the room, brought out a teapot and teacup, and poured a glass of water for Shengxia.
Shengxia didn't refuse and took the teacup with a smile, "Thank you, I'm thirsty too."
"Drink two more cups to quench your thirst." Seeing Shengxia finished drinking, Xia Yanjing hurriedly and attentively refilled the cup. After all, as a son-in-law, he should take good care of his master.
"Okay, we got married at the Sheng Mansion yesterday, and today we're moving back to the General's Mansion. We'll be living there from now on. After breakfast with Big Brother, we'll pack up and leave."
Although Sheng Yuan knew that the two of them were fake, the marriage was real. After all, in aristocratic families, many marriages were without love.
Considering that Xia Yanjing has a lover, and for the convenience of Xia Yanjing, Sheng Xia feels that he should not continue to live in the Sheng Mansion. Otherwise, if his elder brother finds out, he doesn't know what his elder brother will do. If they don't live together, it will be less likely to be discovered.
"Okay, I'll live wherever Xia Xia lives." Xia Yanjing didn't care where he lived. As long as he could live with Sheng Xia, any place would be fine.
"Then let's go to big brother's place for dinner." Shengxia drank another glass of water that Xia Yanjing had poured.
"Okay, I'll pack up and be there right away." Xia Yanjing was in a hurry to come out to see Shengxia, and he hadn't dressed yet. It was the first time he met his brother-in-law after marriage, so he had to make a good impression on him.
Xia Yanjing specially changed into the purple brocade robe that Xiaohong made for him. It was embroidered with cranes and auspicious clouds in silver thread, giving people the feeling of a wealthy and leisurely person.
Xia Yanjing looked at himself in the bronze mirror. It was quite nice and suited his current status.
Shengxia also dressed up simply and changed into a light green brocade robe embroidered with green bamboo and auspicious clouds, giving people the feeling of a handsome young man.
When the two met again after changing their clothes, they felt their eyes brighten. They saw that the other person's outfit was different from usual, but it was inexplicably suitable.
The two came to Sheng Yuan's yard. Sheng Yuan was already sitting in the main hall, waiting for Xia Yanjing and Sheng Xia to serve tea. Although they were from a prominent family, they were also military generals, so they didn't have such strict rules in this regard.
Long before they got married, Sheng Yuan and Sheng Xia had already agreed that they didn't have to get up too early the day after their wedding. Sheng Yuan was afraid that the two would make too much noise at night and worried that his brother would be tired.
When Sheng Yuan saw the two men coming, he became more and more satisfied. At first, he thought that Xia Yanjing had some intentions, but now it seems that Xia Yanjing is quite honest, much better than those young masters of aristocratic families.
Xia Yanjing didn't realize it until he entered the main hall. The TV series seemed to say that tea should be served to the parents-in-law the next day. It must be the same in this world.
No one had taught him before, so Xia Yanjing had no choice but to follow Shengxia's example and serve tea to his brother-in-law.
"Brother, please have some tea." Xia Yanjing smiled widely and said happily.
"Okay." Sheng Yuan saw that his son-in-law was becoming more and more satisfied. He took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and took out a big red envelope from the tray beside him and put it in Xia Yanjing's hand.
Xia Yanjing was not polite either. This showed that his brother-in-law recognized him. "Thank you, brother." Then he happily put it in his arms.
Xia Yanjing had eaten halfway when he saw the people in Sheng Yuan's room moving things out one after another. Xia Yanjing was a little puzzled. Could it be that his brother-in-law was going on a long trip?
"Brother, are you going on a long journey?" Xia Yanjing asked in confusion. After all, his brother-in-law's legs were not suitable for long journeys.
"That's right. The hot summer is coming, and I have to move to the summer resort. Otherwise, Doctor Jiang said that my legs might get inflamed." There was nothing to hide about this, so Sheng Yuan said directly.
Yes, how could he forget this? The wound is not breathable and is prone to infection and inflammation. Could it be that the ancient summer resorts were like air-conditioned rooms?
"That's great. If you don't mind, let Xia Xia and I take you there." Xia Yanjing took the initiative to suggest. He also wanted to see what the ancient summer resort looked like.
"Of course I don't mind." Sheng Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Why don't we stay there for two days?" Sheng Xia was a little worried about Sheng Yuan, and since Xia Yanjing brought it up on his own initiative, he just went along with it.
"Listen to Xia Xia." Xia Yanjing naturally did whatever his wife said.
After dinner, the two returned to their room to pack up. After all, they would be living in the general's mansion later, and Xia Yanjing's betrothal gifts and dowry had to be moved there, so time suddenly became tight.
Fortunately, there were many people and they moved quickly. In addition, the Summer Resort was not too far away and could be reached in an hour by carriage. We set off after lunch and arrived at the Summer Resort in time in the afternoon.
This was Xia Yanjing's first long journey since he came to Wei Dynasty. He was very excited at the beginning, but later he became listless. It was because the ancient carriage was too shaky to sit in, even with a thick cushion under his butt.
In addition, Shengxia was worried about Sheng Yuan, so Xia Yanjing was left alone in a carriage, feeling even more depressed.
After an hour of torture, the carriage stopped. Xia Yanjing couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. When he saw his wife, his previous depressed mood disappeared. Coupled with the beautiful scenery around him, Xia Yanjing felt that the suffering was worth it.
Several servants walked steadily, carrying Sheng Yuan up the stone steps. This summer resort was built halfway up the mountain. Looking up, they saw lush forests all around. The vigorous ancient pines stretched out their twisted branches, casting dark green shadows all over the ground.
The dense branches and leaves stacked one upon another almost completely blocked out the sun overhead. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight passed through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled spots of light on the stone steps, swaying as people moved.
