When Zhi Hua saw that Xiao Shiji had come out of the back room, he quickly opened the curtain of the moon cave door and went in.

A somewhat fishy smell hit my face.

Zhi Hua was a little confused, so he hurriedly opened the bronze and gold-plated silk incense burner placed on the four-legged square table of the Luohan bed under the south window, threw a few pieces of agarwood in it, opened the window again, and lowered the gauze curtain in front of the window.

It provides ventilation and blocks the view of people outside the window.

Du Hengshuang finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xiao Shiji was not around him. He was startled and immediately woke up. He sat up from the bed and shouted outside the tent: "Who is outside?"

Zhihua smiled hurriedly and said, "Miss, are you awake?"

Du Hengshuang was relieved and replied with a smile: "You still call me Miss?"

Zhi Hua hurriedly patted his mouth with his hand, "It should be beaten, but I forgot to change my title. It should be Madam." Xiao Shiji is a sixth-grade knight, so Du Hengshuang calling her "Madam" is not an exaggeration.

Zhihua came over to help Du Hengshuang get up.

"Where did Brother Ji go?" Du Hengshuang's eyes wandered around the room, and he saw the watch on the table against the wall. He was surprised, "It's already so late?" He scolded Zhihua again, "You

You're a lazy girl, have you overslept? You didn't come to wake me up. I'm serving tea today, if I miss something, can you go and collect the punishment for me?"

Zhihua smiled and coaxed: "It's my fault, it's my fault. If the young lady is punished all at once, can I take it all?"

Du Hengshuang also knew that she was making trouble unreasonably. She blushed and looked at Zhihua and smiled. The joy on her face could not be suppressed. As soon as she got up, her face was as rosy as a peach blossom.

While dressing Du Hengshuang, Zhihua chatted with Du Hengshuang, "Young Madam, there is a smell in this room. It's hard for Young Madam. I was able to sleep last night. After all, she is someone else's daughter-in-law, and Young Madam can bear it."

.In the past, when I was at home, the young lady couldn’t bear the smell of sweat.”

"What's the smell?" Du Hengshuang didn't understand. He turned his head and shut his nose and sniffed, just like a little kitten. He was generous and calm with a bit of unconscious innocence.

Zhihua put on Du Hengshuang's clothes and went into the Babu bed to make the bed. As soon as he entered, he said, "That's the smell."

Du Hengshuang followed and walked in. When she saw the thin white square towel with blood on the bedside and the white spots on the bed, her face suddenly seemed to be covered with a red cloth. She stammered: "This... this...

…”

Zhihua grew up with Du Hengshuang, and she was not a maid who was preparing to marry him. She didn't know much about these things. She picked up the blankets on the bed and walked out, saying: "Young madam, don't endure these things in the future. You are so dirty."

I’ll give the young lady’s bedding to the young lady. Sigh. If I go back and let the madam know, I may not know how distressed I am…”

Ou Yangniang was arranging breakfast outside and arrived a step late. She happened to hear Zhihua muttering to Du Hengshuang, complaining that the Xiao family was not polite to her daughter, not to mention the smell in the house and not even a clean bed.

Ou Yangniang was angry and funny. She slapped Zhihua on the shoulder twice. She laughed and scolded: "What do you know? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Quickly carry him to the side room to find Zhishu and Zhili. Let them

Go wash these beddings, don’t take them outside for others to wash, do you hear me?”

Zhihua's eyes widened and he complained: "Ouyangniang, your elbows are turning outwards so quickly. You don't even care about me anymore."

"Does it hurt or not..." Ou Yangniang saw Du Hengshuang at a loss, standing in front of Babu's bed with a flushed face, her head wanting to fall to the ground, so she had to explain to Zhihua in a low voice.

After Zhihua understood what Ou Yangniang said, he blushed and went out in a panic with his bedding.

Ou Yangniang brought another maid, Zhishu, over to make Du Hengshuang's bed again.

Xiao Shiji followed him in to wash up and saw that Du Hengshuang was already up, so he hurriedly said: "I was tired yesterday, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xiao Shiji was thinking that Du Hengshuang was tired after getting married yesterday, but Du Hengshuang thought that Xiao Shiji was talking about the private things they did last night, so he spat at him, "You are tired too, why don't you sleep?"

?”

Xiao Shiji came back to his senses and saw Du Hengshuang's pretty face as bright as a peony. His heart trembled. He glanced at her with a smile and went to the bathroom to wash up without saying a word.

Du Hengshuang waited for Xiao Shiji to finish washing, then went to wash himself, then came out and sat in front of the dressing table to dress up.

She has become a woman and can no longer wear the girl's double bun.

Knowing his skill in painting, he quickly tied up a peony bun for her, inserted a piece of yellow gold silk inlaid with blue and red gems, mutton fat and jade luan in the middle, and pressed a piece of gold silk inlaid with jewels and jade on each side to cover the peony pattern.

On the temples, the whole person suddenly became magnificent.

Du Hengshuang looked in the mirror and hesitated, "It's too arrogant..."

Xiao Shiji stood next to her with his hands behind his back and watched Zhihua dressing her up. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are wearing that bright red dress today. You don't need such jewelry to hold it down."

"Okay then." Du Hengshuang followed suit and asked Zhihua to comb her hair, then drew her eyebrows with luozidai, and put a little lipstick between her lips. Her whole body immediately became plump.

The bright red clothes were worn on her body, and she was radiant and overwhelming.

Ou Yangniang came over with a bowl of soup that nourished the stomach and asked Du Hengshuang to drink it.

The "breathing out like a orchid" that most ladies value can't be achieved by spraying some perfume in the mouth. You must nourish the inside and the outside, have a peaceful stomach, and be healthy, so that you can truly breathe out like a orchid.

The stomach-nourishing soup that Du Hengshuang has been drinking since she was a child is a recipe from the Ouyang family, a real aristocratic family, and Ou Yangniang's old employer.

After drinking the stomach nourishing soup and then having breakfast, Du Hengshuang could only eat a little bit, and then brushed his teeth with green salt. Du Hengshuang asked: "Is it too late to serve tea now?"

Xiao Shiji ate a few more soup dumplings before putting down his chopsticks and saying: "It's not too late, just right. - I invited Prince Yi, Miss Murong, your mother, Mr. Xu, and some of my colleagues and friends

Come here, let’s meet each other and offer tea. It will be more convenient for everyone.”

Du Hengshuang was stunned for a moment, "My mother is coming too?"

"Of course I want to come. See you in the temple and serve tea for such a big event. Of course, the more people who want to come, the better."

"Meet in the temple? - Aren't we going to meet in the temple in three days?" Du Hengshuang asked suspiciously. The bride usually went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to her ancestors on the third day after her marriage. From then on, she was no longer a Du family, but a Xiao Du family.

Xiao Shiji comforted Du Hengshuang without changing his expression, "Usually it takes three days, but our family is special. Our family is particularly satisfied with our daughter-in-law, and we always meet her in the temple on the first day of her marriage."

"Is there such a rule?" Du Hengshuang glanced sideways at Xiao Shiji, expressing disbelief.

Xiao Shiji nodded solemnly, "It's absolutely true. Starting from our generation, our descendants will follow this rule."

Du Hengshuang lowered his head and chuckled, but did not refute. He was held by Xiao Shiji and walked together to the central hall of the main courtyard where Long Xiangye lived.

Long Xiangye got up early this morning and changed her clothes many times before choosing a rose-purple dress, lotus-colored half-arms, a big full-length hairdo on her head, and a little emerald gold-embedded step. She was graceful and luxurious.

, which made Aunt Jin who was enjoying the meal click her tongue and fully praise her for her effort in the meal.

Long Xiangye originally disapproved of Aunt Jin and her daughter, but after they lived here for more than two months and stayed with Long Xiangye every day, Long Xiangye could no longer leave Aunt Jin.

Every word Aunt Jin said touched Long Xiangye's heart. She had not had any close friends for so many years. Now she and Aunt Jin had fallen in love, and she was determined to stay with her.

Ever since Guan Yunlian got married, Long Xiangye gave her the cards in the backyard and asked her to take care of the house.

When Guan Yunlian was at home, she had never taken care of the internal accounts of such a large family. She was once extremely anxious and worried that she would not do well. Instead, she ended up complaining and feeling thankless.

It was Chen Yuejiao who helped her quietly from behind. She divided the important tasks in the backyard into several categories, and also gave her guidance on how to promote the servants of the Xiao family, who could be used, who had what abilities, and who had the handle. She was actually very clear-cut.

, he immediately got a good handle on the servants of the Xiao family, and managed the family in such a way that even Xiao Taiji looked at Guan Yunlian with admiration.

Therefore, when Du Hengshuang married into the Xiao family, the person who felt most uneasy besides Chen Yuejiao was Guan Yunlian.

Of course Guan Yunlian was worried that Du Hengshuang would seize power after entering the house.

She had never thought about presiding over the middle court of the Xiao family before. She was neither the eldest daughter-in-law nor the noble daughter-in-law. In any aspect, she was not as legitimate as Du Hengshuang. The only thing she could rely on was her mother-in-law Long Xiangye.

Loved.

But after two months of taking care of the house, she really fell in love with this job.

Not to mention the profit and water that can be gained from it, but the momentum of speaking in the Xiao family's backyard, she can no longer let go...

Needless to say, Chen Yuejiao was in the most complicated mood.

She never thought that Du Hengshuang would marry as planned on the scheduled date without any delay, which caught Chen Yuejiao off guard.

She originally thought that Du Hengshuang would delay marriage for four years just like in her previous life.

In four years, many things would happen. She was confident that Xiao Shiji would dump Du Hengshuang and marry her as his first wife.

But Du Hengshuang did not follow the order of her previous life and actually got married four years in advance.

At this time, even if I get rid of Du Hengshuang, it will not be my turn to marry Xiao Shiji.

There is a six-year age difference between him and Xiao Shiji, and he is three years younger than Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang has just turned fifteen this year, and she is only twelve years old.

If Du Hengshuang really waited four years to get married, she would have been sixteen by then and would have been able to do a lot more.

But now, I can't catch up no matter what.

You gave birth to me before I gave birth to you, but I gave birth to you as my original wife...

Chen Yue was sitting timidly under Long Xiang Ye, smiling as she listened to her mother flattering Long Xiang Ye, while constantly glancing at the main door.

When Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang walked in hand in hand, they were like a real pair of lovers, radiating light that almost blinded Chen Yuejiao's eyes.

Chen Yuejiao used all her strength to control her racing heart, and sat down with her eyes lowered, no longer staring at Xiao Shiji.

"The eldest young master, Prince Yi, Miss Murong are here, as well as the in-laws, Mr. Xu, and all the eldest young master's colleagues." A woman hurriedly came in and said. (To be continued. If you like this
