Xiaoliu cut me off and said, "I know that after we get married and move into my uncle's yard, we will have our own small kitchen. When we are hungry, we can cook by ourselves. I have snacks every day for these three days. It doesn't matter to me. I'm not

Because I'm not happy because I didn't have dinner, I saw these rules in the Guihai family and I'm worried about you in the future."

I smiled and said: "It's okay, you don't have to..."

Xiao Liu frowned and glared, and said anxiously: "How can it be okay? A businessman's family has more rules than our chief minister's house. Miss, you have been spoiled since you were a child. You are the apple of my eye. How have you ever followed any rules? Look at that eldest lady, you are not shady.

If you don't smile, you may not know how to show off your mother-in-law's prestige in the future, and how long will it take to get ahead?"

After a while, he picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and continued: "On the contrary, the serious mother-in-law of the second wife is kind and has no airs. I'm afraid none of the other ladies will make it easy. Alas, I originally thought the new uncle was very good.

Marrying him was a bittersweet experience for the young lady, but after seeing these mothers-in-law and aunts, my heart suddenly dropped..."

Seeing Xiao Liu's raised eyebrows and raised eyes, I hesitated to tell her the truth. If she had everything written on her face and exposed her flaws, it would be difficult for us to leave.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xiaoliu and I looked at each other in surprise, and she stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door was a very handsome maid. She followed Xiao Liu into the house and presented me with a gift. She held an exquisite oil lamp in the shape of a mermaid with both hands and said with a smile: "Slave Yan Wu is... the maid of the inner house, the elder."

I am afraid that my lady lives in a remote place. If the lights are not lit or are accidentally extinguished, you and Sister Xiaoliu will be afraid, so I asked my slave to bring you a shark oil lamp. This lamp oil is the grease of the sharks in the sea. It will remain bright until the wind blows it out.

"

Xiao Liu happily took it and looked at it carefully and said: "My slave has heard of this kind of lamp, because the sharks are just a legend now, and the shark oil is getting less and less, so this kind of lamp is extremely precious, even in other countries except the Blue Country.

There are not many in the deep palace." He held it in both hands and handed it to me with great care.

"Ah, don't come here..." I blurted out in horror. I had read a lot of tomb robbing novels when I was on Earth in my previous life. Such ever-bright lamps often appeared in tomb chambers. The lamp oil was the corpse oil of the sharks. The sharks are also human beings. The grease of human corpses

, no matter how scary I think, how disgusting I think, I would rather be in the dark than light this kind of light.

"Xiao Liu, please return the lamp to Miss Yanwu quickly. Please tell the girl to tell General Guihai when she goes back. Amber doesn't dare to use such a precious lamp. I appreciate his kindness."

Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What's expensive or not? Although this lamp is rare, we have many of them in our house, so it's okay for a girl to use it."

I waved my hand repeatedly and said with a forced smile: "No, no, no, really no, please take it back, girl."

Just kidding, I lit a corpse oil lamp in this remote small building, and I didn’t know if there was anything unclean attached to it. I was scared to death and still fell asleep.

Yan Wu was smart and smart. When she saw that I looked wrong, as if I really didn't want to do anything, she stopped trying to persuade me. She said a few more polite words, bowed deeply, and turned around to leave.

When she walked away, Xiao Liu asked me in surprise, "Miss, I must have remembered that we are afraid of ghosts, so I sent you an ever-blow-out lamp. Why don't you want it?"

I hesitated and didn't dare to tell her directly. She was so timid and afraid of ghosts. If I explained to her why I didn't want the shark oil lamp, I wouldn't scare her to death. I had to say that Guihai Yunkai had already given me too much and I didn't want to.

I don't want anything from him anymore.

Although Xiaoliu seemed to understand, he had no intention of getting entangled in this issue. After a tiring day, he was mentally and physically exhausted, so he hurriedly washed up and fell asleep.

Three days passed quickly.

Because I haven't gotten married yet, Mrs. Guihai and others are quite polite to me. Although they have to say hello early and late, they don't ask me to set any rules. I should wait until we are officially married to "take up the job".

Tomorrow is the official day, and Guihai Mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There is no need for me to go and eat dinner with everyone that night. Instead, preparations have been made to send them to my temporary residence, asking me to rest early after dinner, because I will have dinner tomorrow.

Get up early and put on makeup, then take the sedan chair out of the back door for a tour of the city, and then enter the Guihai Mansion worship hall through the front door.

Xiaoliu looked nervous as he hurriedly took stock of all kinds of clothes, dresses, crowns, and belts, fearing that he might miss something.

I have no other relatives around me, so I only have her as a dowry. I am young and inexperienced. Although everything Guihai Mansion has prepared and sent over, it still has to be sorted and counted, which is really hard for her.

Because I planned to have a showdown with Guihai Yun after the wedding, I explained that the reason why I got married to him was because I promised the Queen Mother Beiya, and I would leave after fulfilling my promise, so I didn’t take the wedding to heart and felt comfortable.

After taking a bath, while wiping his thick, wet hair, he watched Xiao Liu squirming nervously.

"Have a rest. You're making me dizzy. I just want to pay my respects to you. Just say goodbye and that's it."

Xiaoliu was displeased, frowning and glaring: "What do you mean by saying goodbye casually, you can eat whatever you want, but this is your lifelong event, young lady, how can you do it casually? This is the only time in a woman's life, of course there can be no mistakes. I will not do it tonight."

You have to be well prepared for sleeping.”

"..." I was speechless, so I had to change into a dry towel and continue to fight against wet hair. I was debating whether to tell Xiaoliu now that tomorrow's wedding was just a formality, and I would run away after the wedding to save her from wasting all her efforts.

"Xiao Liu, stop being busy..." I just wanted to tell the truth.

Suddenly Lingzhou's voice came from outside the door, "Has grandma slept?"

Since the reception of Feng Banquet on the day they arrived at Guihai Mansion, I haven't seen Guihai Yunkai and Lingzhou in the past three days. I don't know what they are busy with. I haven't seen the new head of the family and the second son Guihai Yueming once.

, and it is said that the old head of the family, Guihai Ming, who is traveling abroad, cannot even be mentioned. It is a taboo in Guihai Mansion.

I didn't like to inquire about other people's affairs, and I decided to leave, so I had no intention of exploring the people and things of Guihai's family. For three days, I didn't ask anything about it, and I didn't go out unless there was anything going on. I only moved around the small building.

I'm afraid I won't be able to escape if I get into trouble.

"It's Lingzhou..." Xiaoliu looked happy and ran quickly to open the door.

Opening the door, there was indeed a cheerful Ling Zhou outside. When he saw Xiaoliu, his smile became even bigger, and he bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Sister Xiaoliu looks better. Is Grandma here? The master wants to ask Grandma to move over."

Xili Museum."

Xiao Liu was startled and blurted out: "What does this mean? We are getting married tomorrow. According to the rules, the bride and groom cannot meet tonight."

Ling Zhou stopped talking, and with a troubled expression, he nodded his chest and saluted me: "Accordingly, we shouldn't meet, but the master is really busy. Grandma, please see if you can..."

I had no intention of actually marrying him, so naturally I didn't care about these taboos. I nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll put on my coat and follow you." Because my hair was wet, I put on a silver fox fur snow satin cotton with a hood.

Cloak, pretending not to notice Xiao Liu's pouting mouth, walked out of the door with Lingzhou.

Although I don't know why Guihai Yunkai wants to see me, but with his cautious and cautious temperament, he will not violate any taboos and come to see me on the eve of the wedding, so I should come to see him both emotionally and logically.

The moon is full tonight, the moonlight is bright and round, like a mirror hanging high.

Not far from home, Lingzhou took me on a solid wooden path built along a canal of clear water. Arched stone beams gradually appeared on both sides of the road, from sparse to dense. The stone beams were covered with withered yellow vines, with fat vine leaves.

It is covered with snow, and walking under it will shake the snow on the leaves, and the snow will fall rustlingly, flying and dancing in the wind.

Lingzhou pointed at the withered vine and said, "Grandma, this vine is called Xili. It has lush branches and leaves, fragrant flowers and leaves. In summer, it climbs all over the stone beams, blocking out the sky and the sun. It's extremely cool to walk in the passage." He looked forward.

, stopped and said, "Grandma, please continue walking forward. When you exit the passage, you will see a round house made of pearls and shells. That is the Xili Pavilion. The master is waiting for you there."

I nodded and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you come together?" The Guihai family only has two brothers, Yun Kaiyueming. Guihai Ming has no mixed-race son, so Yunkaiyueming has no shadow to follow, so Lingzhou is like a shadow.

From the same point of departure, returning to the sea, the clouds are opening around me, and now I see that he has stopped moving forward, I can't help but be surprised.

Lingzhou bowed and smiled and said: "I'll keep an eye here, lest you be disturbed by that mean-spirited servant girl."
