Achieve Rivers and Mountains - C235
The coachman and the servants didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. They urged their horses to ride all the way to the merchant house, and when they saw the huge lion in front of the merchant house from afar, they finally heaved a sigh of relief. Just as Qin Xiao was about to jump off himself, Jing Jiu grabbed her wrist tightly. She covered her head with his hand and could feel his anger. This move almost broke her robust arm. Damn it, luckily it wasn’t really Wen Xiaoluo, otherwise I would have been splattered with blood.
“The Shang family wants to marry their daughter-in-law!” Hurry up and come over to snatch it! ” Just as he got off the car, a Thief appeared out of nowhere. It turned out that the world was not peaceful under broad daylight! Qin Xiaoxiao retaliated by locking Jing Jiu down. He took a big step into the yard, and the guard quickly closed the door. The coachman and the servants were so frightened that they rushed into the carriage and left in a cloud of dust. The Rogue lifted his saber back and tapped it on the shoulder. One of them whispered, “What is it that Lord Nine wants us to do?”
“Don’t ask so much, it’s said that Second Master Qin came back the other day. Who knows what kind of tricks he might have up his sleeve?”
There were already people waiting in the courtyard. They had mixed in with the people in the living room. In the first place, it wasn’t like concubines were married, and the merchants didn’t call them relatives or friends to support them. This time, he was in no mood for the assassination incident. He didn’t even prepare anything for the banquet and only had his family eat together. At first glance, he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and the other two brothers and younger brother were also not much stronger than him. When he looked at the women’s table, all of them looked valiant and spirited, as if they were about to overturn the seas and rivers. It was no wonder that men were so dispirited. Their emotions were a mix of Yin and Yang. On the other hand, his family’s old man, Shang Shouting, seemed to be in high spirits, as if his three sons’ yang energy had been absorbed and concentrated on him alone.
“It’s been hard on you, my wife. Sit down and eat.” Shang Shou Ting was rather polite, but his tone didn’t reveal any emotion. When Qin Xiaojiu thought of how this old man had almost married Wen Xiaoru, he felt a chill run down his spine, to the point that Jing Jiu could feel that she wasn’t normal.
“Oh, I’m still reluctant to take off this hood. San Cai, they are still waiting for you to kick the bucket. ” Shang Sancai’s wife glanced at Qin Liangmiao and said indifferently. Shang San Cai glanced at his father, but did not see any objections from him. He then stood up and gently lifted the red veil over his head. As a result, Qin Xiao saw pairs of eyes looking at her, while the rest of the ladies had faces full of schadenfreude. Wasn’t he studying poetry from a young age? Wasn’t my daughter too embarrassed to see anyone? How could the Shang family survive with such a delicate appearance?
“Greetings to Aunt Rong, my brothers and sisters, as well as my sisters.” With that, he glared at the room, then turned to Shang Sangui and asked, “Husband, where should I sit?”
The crowd did not see any shyness or cowardice from her body. Even though her face was sickly, they could still feel her strong aura. Shang San Cai looked at his father, not saying a word. On such a joyous day, Shang Sancai did not feel the slightest bit of happiness. He felt that this marriage had something to do with his father, his family, but not himself. However, this woman wasn’t very beautiful, but she was a bit different from his other wives.
“There are not that many rules for the first day, just sit next to Sanlang.” The moment the words left his mouth, not only his daughter-in-law, but even his own wives turned to look at him in disbelief. From beginning to end, the rule was that men and women could not sit together. Furthermore, there were more rules in the merchant house than others. It was just taking in a concubine, yet it set such a precedent!
Shang San pulled her up and frowned. A woman raised in a deep room could actually have such a thick hand! Did she suffer a lot when she was young? “Or does the new bride not treat her well?” Sit down. ” He pointed to a stool beside him.
“Thank you, father.” Qin Xiaoliu’s words were extremely fluent from his father’s mouth, but his heart felt as if it deserved to die. Everyone saw her smile as she unceremoniously sat down on a chair.
Only after the old man gave the order did everyone dare to raise their chopsticks and place a piece of meat into his bowl. Qin Xiaozui smiled sweetly as he said: “Thank you, my husband.” Although there were many mules and horses in the Shang family, they were too used to suffering from poverty. Even when they were thriving, they still thought that braised meat was the most delicious.
At the other table, the woman’s hand trembled and the dish fell onto the table.
Although it was just ordinary Red Braised Meat, without any flashy decorations, the stewed meat was soft and fragrant. There is a poem for praise, the merchant stew meat, fine workmanship, a meal of wine, fragrant but not greasy, guests taste, all satisfied. After finishing his meal, Qin Xiao almost bit off his chopsticks. He could only blink as he watched it being picked up one by one by everyone. When there was only one piece left, Qin Xiao reluctantly watched as it fell into Shang Sanniang’s demonic claws. Shang San Cai then placed his hand into Qin Xiao’s bowl. Although he did not say anything, his eyes seemed to be saying: Eat more, eat more.
Jing Jiu was forcing himself to endure from the back. They had made him so hungry that he secretly cursed Qin Xiao for not being able to remember his friends even though they weren’t friends. She rubbed her stomach as she made gurgling sounds. She secretly glanced at Qin Xiao and was filled with dissatisfaction. Another person laughed out loud and teased, “Aiyo, why don’t you let the bride’s girl eat with you as well? Look at how hungry your daughter is! To neglect our family, aren’t we being rude? ”
The main wife gave a cold snort, “How do you train your subordinates? They have no rules at all?” There were many rules and regulations set by the old man, and all the servants were cautious in front of him. They were not allowed to burp, fart, or even grind their teeth in front of their master.
Qin Xiaoliu turned back and grabbed the hand of Jing Jiu, who was about to go berserk. This time, she did not retaliate, but only lightly pressed the back of her hand with her finger. Although Jing Jiu didn’t experience any sort of anger, he knew that with her current identity and mission, how could a person as astute as her be disrupted by such a small matter? He also patted Qin Xiaolian’s shoulder, indicating that he was fine.
“Since he came on the first day, forget it.” Shang San didn’t even raise his head as he grumbled in a low voice. He was unhappy in his heart as well. Being a concubine wasn’t his idea, so why should he be so disregarded?
Shang Shou Ting slammed his bowl on the table. Without raising his head, he chipped out two words, “Eat!” When Qin Xiaoliu saw that everyone had their heads down and no one dared to vent their anger, it was as if the entire hall had fallen into a memorial hall. The pavilion looked up at Jing Jiu, Jing Jiu blinked his eyes, and gave a gentle smile. The pavilion lowered its head again, and instructed, “Mrs Zhang, take this girl to the kitchen to eat, and heat up the food.”
Everyone slightly raised their heads, but they didn’t dare to look at him. They had all had their own ulterior motives during the wedding banquet. Because the food was delicious, Qin Xiaoliu was in a good mood. He looked at the wine pot on the table and quietly swallowed his saliva.
Shang Shou Ting lifted up his wine cup. With a rare smirk, he said, “Today, San Cai is in high spirits. You two brothers toast San Cai.”
Shang Yijin and Er Yin were honest people, and Fourth Treasure also looked simple. Seeing that his third brother was quite satisfied with his new daughter-in-law, he was happy for her, after all, those tigers in his family had suffered quite a bit. It was said that Miss Wen had come to pay her debt, but after seeing her for the day, the old man had placed great importance on her. It seemed that she wasn’t that simple. Third brother, that poor bastard really needs a gentle and virtuous woman to serve him. The four brothers were tacit understanding and were happy about it.
