Chapter 10 First Meeting
My wife, who had never even entered the bridal chamber, was obviously very disgusted with her cricket fighting, and she was even so serious that she never came back even if she was almost dead.
When Jia Quan talked about it, everything about this marriage was done by his sister himself. He even gave up his face and went to Xu's mansion to propose to him.
Xu Ruoxi did not return home when she was about to die. Concubine Jia endured it with great patience, not only because she was too slutty about what she had done before, but more because she was thinking about her younger brother.
How can you wipe out the world if you don’t sweep a house? The uneasy in the mansion is that divorced by having sex with prostitutes and gambling. From no matter where you look, it will be a loss-making move.
Jia Quan did not dare to put Xiaoqiang in the mansion and held it all the way. The one who was so worried should be his wife he had never met.
He did not feel that he was so heartless about Xu Ruoxi. Instead, he became a little curious about this woman with such a personality in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was already basically filled with Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism.
After all, just from some of Jia Quan's vague rhetoric, he could imagine what his predecessor had done before.
The sedan chair was still creaking forward, and Jia Quaner scratched his head anxiously, but Jia Sidao had forgotten Xiaoqiang who was still held in Jia Quan's arms.
...
The gate of the Jia Mansion is already far away.
"Young Master, this mighty general?" Jia Quan couldn't help but speak out.
The window of the sedan was immediately pulled open.
"Have you arrived home? This Xiaoqiang...well, do you like this mighty general? Want it?"
Jia Sidao withdrew his eyes and looked at Jia Quan with a faint saying.
Jia Quan nodded violently at first, then looked at Jia Sidao with deep eyes and wanted to retreat in an instant, shaking his head as if it were rattles.
"Don't want it?"
Jia Quan was struggling inside.
"Then throw it away."
"Ah? Young Master... This is a mighty general..."
"Then do you want it or not?"
“…”
If he could curse someone, Jia Quan wanted to swear. He didn't know if his young master really wanted this mighty general or was deliberately teasing him. Of course, he really wanted this mighty general.
Because this has been renamed Xiaoqiang's mighty general, he is an ever-winning general.
It represents all white silver.
"Master, I'm back home."
The sedan chair stopped outside the gate, and with the shouts of the sedan chair owner, there were rapid footsteps in the high courtyard wall.
The gate of Jia Mansion slowly opened.
Seeing the door of the mansion open, Jia Quan didn't care too much to grab the small porcelain jar and stuff it into his arms, and finally he carefully caressed it.
Jia Sidao got out of the sedan chair and looked back at Jia Quan's mumbled chest. Nunu said that he hadn't put it down properly. Then he moved his eyes to the door of the mansion. When he raised his eyes, several figures appeared at the door of the mansion and came out.
When the lights first came on, she appeared in front of Jia Sidao.
It was already dark, and lights lit up from the melodious courtyard corridor. The orange and light red cage flame halo turned this original ancient Jiangnan garden courtyard into a quiet and beautiful ink painting.
She, Xu Ruoxi, stepped out of the mansion and appeared in front of Jia Sidao in various swimming halos.
The pale white dress is extremely simple, and the bun on her head is tied up to her identity as a woman. There is no dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry on the bun, only a simple bead hairpin is inserted diagonally on the bun.
The unpainted face of flowers, the snow-white neck, and the clear and pure eyes. This is a woman who is like a lady walking out of an ancient painting. Maybe she is not as beautiful as Concubine Jia, but her calm and distant temperament is not what Concubine Jia does.
Of course, for more than half a month after he came to the Southern Song Dynasty, he had never really seen other women of this era, and the only one who compared them was his sister.
"I have met my husband."
Xu Ruoxi looked at Jia Sidao who was a little calm and unusual, and a faint disgust flashed in her eyes, and she felt a little blessed.
"Come back?"
"Here I'm back."
"Then let's start a meal."
“…”
After the dry opening remarks of the first meeting, no one expected that such a sentence would suddenly appear from Jia Sidao's mouth. Jia Quan, who was standing beside Jia Sidao, and two maids dressed up as the maid behind Xu Ruoxi, as well as Xiao Cui, an old man in the mansion that Jia Sidao knew, covered his mouth in surprise and looked at Jia Sidao with disbelief.
Although Xiao Cui's name is a little more ordinary, she is also an old man from the Jia family. After Xu Ruoxi married into the Jia family, in addition to the maid Xu Ruoxi himself, Xiao Cui was also arranged to serve next to Xu Ruoxi.
Xu Ruoxi returned to her parents' home to visit her relatives, but she only brought the maid around her and did not take Xiao Cui away. After all, Xiao Cui was fundamentally a member of the Jia family.
Never thought Jia Sidao would be so calm when facing Xu Ruoxi, and was frightened.
Xu Ruoxi was slightly stunned when she heard what Jia Sidao said, and looked at Jia Sidao in surprise with her mouth slightly opened.
After half a year of marriage, she had completely lost all expectations for her husband, and had both accepted her fate and was also grateful. No matter how Jia Sidao spent all the time and stayed at night outside, at least she had never said many bad words to her.
"Jia Quan'er, go and prepare supper." Jia Sidao seemed to have not noticed the surprise on Xu Ruoxi's face at all, and he withdrew his eyes and ordered himself.
"Ah? Oh, it's the young master. Xiao Cui'er, please tell the kitchen to prepare supper for the young master and his wife."
Jia Quan came back to his senses with a sudden sense, looked carefully at Xu Ruoxi staring at Jia Sidao, and said to Xiao Cui who was following Xu Ruoxi.
"Oh, yes. I'll go and ask the kitchen to prepare supper."
Xu Ruoxi didn't pay attention to Jia Quan. After staring at Jia Sidao for a while, he gently turned his body and said, "Yehan is here, please go back to your house."
Since he had already said what he had said about having dinner together, Xu Ruoxi, who had a good tutor, would naturally not compete with him on such trivial matters. Although she had already eaten.
But why did he look like he had changed someone else?
Jia Sidao nodded and walked into the Jia Mansion compound, which was already lit with lanterns.
...
The lobby is terrible.
Jia Sidao and Xu Ruoxi sat at both ends of the red sandalwood round table.
The two maids following Xu Ruoxi quietly retreated at some point. As for Jia Quan'er, she had never entered the lobby.
No one spoke, only the candles lit in the lobby burned from time to time to time to make mottled sounds.
There was a book in front of Jia Sidao. It was the book he read before going to the Qionglin Banquet. He left in a hurry and placed it on the round table. He picked it up again when he came back.
However, it was really a bit tiring to look at the books published in the Song Dynasty at my own level.
a long time.
"Mr...."
After thinking for a long time, Xu Ruoxi opened her mouth and found that Jia Sidao, who had been bending the book, suddenly raised her head and stared at her quietly, as if he had been waiting for her to speak first. However, her calm eyes were something she had never seen before, so she couldn't help but stop what she said to her.
"My husband... is getting better?" He could see the question marks in his eyes.
"Oh, okay." Jia Sidao looked down at the book "The Original Meaning of the Zhou Yi" in front of him again, "Well, I just lost my memory." After saying that, Jia Sidao added casually.
A plain tone is like talking about something that has nothing to do with you.
"Then...husband, what have you forgotten?"
Before returning to the house, Xu Ruoxi had heard Xiao Cui, who had been telling her to return to the house. He knew that his injury was not serious, but he had amnesia.
"What did you forget?" Jia Sidao closed the book, raised it and grinned, "No, I forgot everything."
“…”
...
Jia Quan's movements were very fast, and within a short while, a few simple and elegant side dishes that matched meat and vegetables were ready to serve on the table.
When the food was served, Jia Quan's legs were almost gone, but Xiao Cui and Xu Ruoxi's two close maids could not avoid it and could only serve him. However, the three of them hung their heads desperately, and they didn't dare to say anything.
The young master and the lady are really...it's really weird.
Because no one thought that it would be possible to never interact with each other. After a divorce, two people would sit quietly at the same table and eat in such a day? Have you ever met two people who were basically in the type of night and who seemed like passers-by, would they pick up food for each other intimately?
Of course, the person who kept picking up food was Jia Sidao and Xu Ruoxi, but he was just passingly accepting it.
But no matter how you look at it, it feels like all this is so unreal, just like a dream.
Jia Sidao did not pay attention to the expressions of the three maids around him and ate on his own. He drank two glasses of wine at the Qionglin banquet, which tasted good, after all, it was the Royal Wine.
The table was full of dazzling colors, but the dishes that made people's index fingers trembled before they could move, and Yu Ci's incident happened, and the Qionglin Banquet ended next.
Then he was called to Qinzheng Hall by Zhao Yun to talk about his feelings. He was already hungry. Every time he picked up vegetables, Jia Sidao would pick up a chopstick in Xu Ruoxi's bowl and say "This is good, eat more." It was as if nothing happened to the two of them before, and they could not be cooked anymore.
Fortunately, Xu Ruoxue was indeed calm and calm enough. In addition to being surprised by Jia Sidao's first pickup, he gradually became numb as the number of times increased.
It was not until Jia Sidao quickly filled Xu Ruoxi's bowls and had no place to put them, that he seemed to come back to his senses and said in surprise: "You eat them, these dishes taste good."
Xu Ruoxi could only respond to this silent little.
She has actually been thinking about a question. Did her husband really change his temperament after being injured and lost his memory, or did he deliberately do so for some reason?
For example, the two have not yet entered the bridal chamber.
If he wants to go back to the room with him tonight, what should he do? Even if he is calm, Xu Ruoxi still feels a little nervous and uneasy when facing such a thing.
Chapter completed!
