Chapter 34: Returning Chaohuan

The second day.

Gu Xiyan slowly opened his eyes and felt a split headache.

She half-wrapped the quilt and straightened her body, rubbing her temples with one hand, and couldn't remember what she was today.

Hearing the sound of the mandarin ducks in the red gauze tent, he looked at the curtain and found that Gu Xiyan had indeed started.

"Miss is awake."

Hong Fei hurriedly stepped forward and served the delicate and soft beauty on the bed put on her clothes, and helped her to wash.

Gu Xiyan rinsed his mouth, cleaned his face again, sat upright in front of Guangkejian's bronze mirror and calmed down. He then realized that the maid and the woman serving in the inner room had kneeled on the ground, and couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing when you kneel here?"

While giving Gu Xiyan a fan and drawing eyebrows, Indigo Yu said, "I don't know the situation of being drunk last night. After the Marquis returned home, he saw that there was no maid serving the lady. He got angry!"

Hong Fei was behind Gu Xiyan Wan, and when he heard this, he glared at Tianyu, "The Marquis is having breakfast outside. You might as well say louder, so that the Marquis knows how the servants chew the master's tongue behind him!"

Indigo stuck out his tongue and whispered, "When the Marquis came back with the lady in her arms last night, his face was so dark that it could drip out of ink. The lady didn't see it, it was so scary!"

Gu Xiyan thought to himself, isn’t it because he “hasn’t he seen it before”?

In the last life, she was afraid that she could see Xiao Rang's face every day.

Gu Xiyan thought about it and immediately felt something was wrong - "Indigo Yu, you just said that it was the Marquis who brought me back in person?

!”

...

Ningyuan main room.

There is a full range of breakfast and food on the low table of Huanghuali wood.

Gu Xiyan looked sleepy and walked out of the inner room with his forehead. As soon as he looked up, he saw a room full of maids and mothers.

At the table, Xiao Rang was wearing a blue dress with rain all over the sky. When he saw Gu Xiyan coming out, he was just using breakfast with a faint expression, and he didn't even look up at her.

Gu Xiyan sat on a purple-lacquered gold-painted chair, and inexplicably rose to feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

She picked up a pair of silver chopsticks at her hand. Before the tip of the chopsticks reached the small fried lotus pond in front of her, she heard Xiao Rang's cold voice coming, "When is it?"

Gu Xiyan was shocked, and immediately took back his chopsticks, sat upright, and replied, "It's three o'clock in the morning."

Gu Xiyan raised his eyes and saw that there was no obvious color on the face of the tall man facing him. He bit his pink lips and said with a grievance, "Marty, last night... I lost my composure..."

"oh?"

Xiao Rang's face had no expression, and his thin lips moved, "Mrs. I'm so drunk that she's unconscious. She actually knows that she's lost her composure?"

Gu Xiyan was just talking casually, but when Xiao Rang said this, he immediately opened his eyes wide, "I... have you really lost your composure?

!”

She was not good at drinking, but she was really depressed yesterday, so she wanted to drink to relieve her sorrows.

Unexpectedly, before she finished drinking the half cup of autumn dew, she fell asleep in a daze. Then she woke up and it was this morning.

I heard from Diyu that last night, Xiao Rang carried her all the way from Cuiweiting to the inner room of the main room. When the maids and mothers in the mansion saw her, they all lowered their heads and blushed and did not dare to say anything.

Just now, Gu Xiyan felt ashamed and was slow in the inner room for a long time. It was not until Mrs. Wang picked up the curtain and urged her twice before she left the inner room with shame.

——She was really worried that she would say something she shouldn’t say in front of Xiao Rang.

Xiao Rang picked up food on his own and ignored her questions.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan had to look at the indigo jade and Hongfei next to him. Unexpectedly, both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to show up.

Xiao Rang took all her little movements and chuckled, "There was no one around you who served me last night. Now, what are you watching them do in a flash?

How could they know if the wife had lost her composure or not?”

As soon as these words came out, the maids and women in the room knelt on the ground and repeatedly claimed the crime.

"I don't ask them to serve you in close proximity..." Gu Xiyan waved his hand, feeling anxious: "Mr. Marquis, I have lost my composure... but what are you saying disrespectful?"

Last night, Gu Xiyan woke up from his dream three times in the mandarin duck tent. He was crying with tears in his face, and his mouth kept mumbling and crying miserably.

Xiao Rang felt distressed when he saw it, and he held the sweetheart in his arms, patted him and coaxed him to sleep.

I thought Gu Xiyan was so depressed that she was staying in the Marquis' Mansion all day long, and she felt depressed. She had nightmares and didn't go anywhere else to thank her.

Xiao Rang looked at the beauty in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the situation of pear blossoms and rain yesterday. He started to tease her, but he said seriously, "Last night, the lady cried and made a fuss, and she kept not letting go of her hand.

I'm talking about how to 'envy' me..."

"I can't break free, and in the end I can only take my wife back to the dendrome when she gets tired."

After saying that, Xiao Rang curled his lips, "How did the lady know that she had lost her composure when she was drunk?

... Could it be that the lady wanted to hear these words?”

“——You, you!”

Gu Xiyan immediately blushed, his face flushed with shame, and he didn't bother to worry about it. He said nothing last night that he said "things shouldn't have said".

"Impossible! The Marquis deceived me!"

Xiao Rang put down the chopsticks with a shameless face, took the golden cup and rinsed his mouth finely, and then got up and rubbed Gu Xiyan's hair. "Madam, get breakfast soon, and I will go out with me later."

Gu Xiyan looked at him half-believingly: "I don't know where I want to follow the marquis to go?"

Xiao Rang said lightly, "Accompany your wife to go back to her parents' home."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out of the door.

On that side, Wang's mother stepped forward and said, "Miss Mother, the Marquis asked someone to review the mansion and report the letter early in the morning, saying that it was the day when the three dynasties returned to the door, and he could not come with his wife. Taking advantage of the rest today, he accompanied his mother back to make up for it."

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan only bit the silver chopsticks in his hand and kept silent.

On the day when I returned to the door in the last lifetime and three dynasties, Gu Xiyan returned alone.

Later, until the entire Gu family was exiled, Xiao Rang did not hold the ceremony of a son-in-law in front of Gu's father and Gu's mother.

When Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Gui saw Gu Xiyan being in a daze, they all thought she was too moved and didn't react for a while.

Early this morning, Xiao Rang called Gui's mother and Wang's mother to ask questions.

First, I asked my mistress carefully what she was doing in the mansion these days and whether she was too tired. I also asked her how she used every meal she was in the past few days and whether she was always depressed.

Mama Gui and Mama Wang looked at each other and answered one by one.

Xiao Rang said again, the mistress was in a depressed mood these two days, so why wouldn’t she go back to Gu’s house with a carriage today, so she would also ask the mistress to relax.

When Wang's mother heard this, her heart trembled, and she was surprised and happy. Wang's mother was a slave brought by Gu Lin from the Lin family. She was a mistress of two generations. She had never seen the master in charge of the mistress so meticulously care for the mistress!

On the contrary, the mother Gui looked as usual. She first smiled and praised the Marquis as "he is caring", and then pulled Mother Wang to greet her and said "Yes".

...

Gu Mansion, Flower Hall.

Today is the rest, Gu Wanqian, Gu Xiyan's elder brother Gu Zhaowen is all at home.

I received a message from the servant from the Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion in the morning, and it alarmed everyone in the mansion.

Because Gu Xiyan and Xiao Rang were given marriage by the emperor, all the etiquette before marriage were handled by the ritual officials in the palace.

Therefore, except for Gu's father who could see Xiao Rang from afar in the Golden Palace when he went to court every day, everyone else had only seen Xiao Rang once.

The Marquis of Pingyang was a meritorious service for the founding country, and Emperor Xuan of the founding country was awarded the hereditary title of "First Class Marquis". In addition, Xiao Rang was the grandson of the current empress dowager's legitimate relative, and a genuine royal relative.

Gu Jiang and Gu Lin had only seen him once on the wedding day when Xiao Rang came to greet him.

At that time, I felt that the dragon and phoenix posture he had was born had extraordinary style.

At this time, the Gu family was greeting the gate of the mansion. Seeing Xiao Rang helping Gu Xiyan out of the carved sedan chair by Zhu Jin, he hurried forward to meet the greetings, and the group walked into the flower hall lively.

In the flower hall.

Xiao Rang fell down and said with a smile, "The son-in-law is unfilial. He was delayed by official duties the day after returning to the door of the three dynasties. Now he is here to visit his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandmother. I am really ashamed."

At that moment, Gu Wanqian had just picked up the teacup. When he heard this, he couldn't help but shake his hand and waved his hand, "The Marquis is busy with official duties, so don't care about these red tape."

Over the years, Gu Wanqian has seen the skills of this Wuhou, who was born in the Golden Palace, who was a noble man, who was very good at talking about the skills of a group of white-haired old ministers.

Now, he can't afford to be "father-in-law" by Xiao Rang, how dare he bear this "shame" again!

Gu Jiang and Gu Lin also gave polite greetings.

Xiao Rangfu raised his hand and asked Liuyun behind him to bring out a hollowed-out treasure box of red sandalwood. Gu Jiang, who rushed to the head, respectfully gave a respectful gift to his junior. "Today, the emperor's grandmother heard that his son-in-law was going to visit the Taishan family to pay homage to his elders, and he also heard that his grandmother and the emperor's grandmother were not much older, so he praised this thousand-year-old ginseng and taught his son-in-law to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"I thanked the Queen Mother for her wishes. If I have the honor to see Fengyan in the future, I will thank her in person."

Gu Jiang nodded with a smile. On that side, Gu Zhaowen stood up with a wink and took the red sandalwood hollow treasure box in person.

Xiao Rang raised his eyes and was about to speak, Gu Zhaowen took a step forward and bowed, "The Marquis doesn't have to be too polite, just call me 'Boyuan'."

Xiao Rang is older than Gu Zhaowen.

When Gu Zhaowen thought of the scene where Marquis Pingyang called him "brother-in-law", he felt a chill on his back.

Xiao Rang did not refuse and bowed and called out, "Brother Boyuan."
