Chapter 505: The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 55
Half a month later, the carriage finally arrived at Fengqi County.
Fengqi County is still bustling and lively, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys, and the sounds of vendors hawking one after another.
Only there are a lot fewer students on the street. It seems that they have returned to their hometowns one after another, and not many are staying in Fengqi County.
Chen Mufeng paid the carriage fare, walked through the streets and alleys, and went straight to the Osmanthus Flower Courtyard in the Dongcheng residential area.
Passing by Jinxiu Pavilion, he saw a jewelry shop. He was moved in his heart, thinking that Yao'er didn't seem to have any decent jewelry, so he went in.
The store is dazzling with jewels and a wide variety of jewelry.
Seeing a customer come to the door, the store clerk hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Sir, are you here to invite, but you want to choose some jewelry? We have all the styles here, I guarantee your satisfaction."
Chen Mufeng nodded slightly and looked around, finally landing on a delicate hosta.
The top of the hosta is carved with several pink peach blossoms, clustered together, with a few round white pearls hanging from the peach blossoms. The color is warm, as if you can smell the aroma of the peach blossoms.
He thought, if Yao'er wears this peach blossom hairpin, she will be extremely beautiful, and he thinks it suits her very well.
The more Chen Mufeng looked at it, the more satisfied he became, so he said to the store clerk: "Please take out this hosta and show it to me."
The store clerk smiled happily and quickly responded: "Okay. Young Master, wait a minute."
As he said that, he carefully took the hosta off the display stand and handed it to Chen Mufeng.
Chen Mufeng gently took the hosta and looked at it carefully in his hand.
The hosta is warm and moist, and the carved peach blossoms are lifelike, with the texture of the petals clearly visible. The pearls are also plump and exude a soft luster, which complements the peach blossoms and adds a bit of elegance.
Seeing this, the store clerk hurriedly smiled and introduced, "Young Master is really discerning. This hosta is carved from the finest Hetian jade with exquisite craftsmanship. The pearls are also carefully selected. Together, they look good and Good luck. Master, you bought it for your wife, right? She will look as beautiful as a fairy when she wears it."
Chen Mufeng glanced at the shop clerk, knowing that he was exaggerating, but he really liked it. , then He said: "How much does this hosta cost?"
When the store clerk heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, this hosta was originally priced at 55 taels, but I see that you really like it. This is the first time. Come . Let’s just give you fifty taels and treat it as a discount for new customers.” After hearing this, Chen Mufeng thought about it. Although the price is not low, he thought it would make Yaoer happy. Then I felt it was worth it.
He took out the banknote, paid the money, took the wrapped hosta, and carefully put it into his arms.
Then left Jinxiu Pavilion.
He walked through the bustling streets and finally arrived in front of the Osmanthus Flower Courtyard in the Dongcheng residential area.
He knocked on the door knocker gently, his heart beating faster, and all he could think about was Yao'er's surprised expression when she saw him and the gift.
Soon, Mrs. Wang asked in the yard: "Who is it?"
Chen Mufeng stood at the door of the courtyard and took his name. After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Mrs. Wang's smiling face.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, you are back. Miss Yu has been talking about you these days."
As Mrs. Wang said, she asked people to come in.
I caught a glimpse of the luggage on his body and reached out to help him take it in.
Chen Mufeng waved his hands and said no, and moved his luggage into the yard. He swept around and saw no one, so he became anxious and asked Mrs. Wang hurriedly: "Aunt Wang, how is Yao'er these days? ? How is the baby in your belly? ”
"Okay, Miss Yu is doing well these days. There's nothing wrong with her. She's just sleeping a lot as a pregnant woman. She's taking a lunch break in the house for a while. I think she'll wake up soon."
Mr. Wang said while The courtyard door closed and he replied.
After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Chen Mufeng's worries eased slightly, he put down his luggage and walked towards Yu Yao's house.
Gently pushing the door open, I saw the person lying on the bed sleeping peacefully, and his belly was obviously swollen. Counting the time, it was already four and a half months.
Because of the twins, they look like they are five or six months old, and their bellies are round.
He walked quietly to the bedside and stared at her sleeping face, his heart full of tenderness.
When these days come, all I can think about is her, wondering what she is doing, whether she is eating well, sleeping well, or whether she has discovered anything else.
I was also very worried about the child in her belly, and I was extremely worried.
When I see people, my heart feels at ease.
I originally planned to stay at home for two months, but I came back in less than a month and a half.
Quanshui Village is far away from Fengqi County. The carriage travels day and night, and it will take half a month at the fastest.
It takes a whole month to come and go.
Speaking of which, he only stayed in his hometown for about ten days. As soon as the chores at home were taken care of, he couldn't wait to come back.
Just because that feeling of worrying day and night is really too painful.
He had gentle eyebrows and an intoxicating smile at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to caress her face. Looking at the seductive red lips, his heart moved and he kissed her gently unconsciously.
Yu Yao seemed to sense something. She moved slightly in her sleep, frowned slightly, and then slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Chen Mufeng beside the bed, her eyes flashed with surprise.
"Are you back?"
She opened the quilt and wanted to get up.
Chen Mufeng hurriedly went over to help her, "Well, I'm back."
While talking, he took the initiative to squat down and put on her shoes and socks. When he was done, he didn't forget to take the coat that was lying aside and put it on for her.
"I thought it would take you half a month, but you came back sooner than I expected."
Yu Yao said happily, opened her arms and turned around, He just put his coat on his body and let him take care of him with peace of mind.
Chen Mufeng looked at her dotingly, gently fastened the buttons for her, and said softly: "I can't let go of you, and I've been worried about you. After finishing the matters at home, he rushed over immediately. "
As he said that, he took out the peach blossom hairpin from his arms and handed it to her, "Look, what gift did I bring you?"
Yu Yao reached out and took it, looked at it carefully, and saw that it was a peach blossom hairpin, with three pink peach blossoms clustered together, beautiful and delicate.
She doesn’t have too many kinds of jewelry and hairpins. Whether they are luxurious or ordinary, she has them all, just piled up in the space.
There are even several peach blossom hairpins similar to the one on hand, all given by male protagonists in various planes.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mufeng also gave one like this.
Although it is very ordinary in my own eyes, for a poor scholar like Chen Mufeng, I am afraid it cost a lot of money.
Although I felt a little sorry for Yinzi, I was still very happy.
A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she exaggeratedly said: "Oh, what a beautiful peach blossom hairpin. Did you buy it especially for me?"
"Naturally."
Chen Mufeng said with a smile, "I When I saw it, I felt that it suits you very well. You will look very beautiful wearing it."
As she said that, she reached out and took the peach blossom hairpin in her hand, and said softly: "Yao'er, I’ll put it on for you.”
Yu Yao nodded slightly and looked at him with a smile.
Chen Mufeng carefully inserted the peach blossom hairpin into her bun with gentle and focused movements.
Wear the hairpin.
He took a step back slightly, admiring his masterpiece, his eyes flashing with satisfaction and affection.
“Yaoer, you are so beautiful.”
Chen Mufeng suddenly expressed his admiration.
What he said is true. Yaoer does not look like a peasant woman from the countryside at all. Instead, she exudes a gentle and delicate temperament. She is so moving, as if she is a fairy coming out of a painting.
After hearing his praise, Yu Yao blushed on her face and said angrily: "You can say some sweet words to make me happy. How can I be as good as you said?"
Even though he said this, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden. She gently touched the hairpin on her head and couldn't help but ask: "This hairpin is so exquisite, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money, right?"
Chen Mufeng's expression froze and he didn't dare to say anything. I paid 50 taels for fear that Yao'er would think that she was spending money indiscriminately, or that she would be distressed and refuse to take the money.
He coughed lightly and said, "It's not much, as long as Yao'er likes it."
Yu Yao glanced at him and did not ask how much the money was. The amount was not important, what was important was the intention. .
The two talked for a while, and then she pushed Chen Mufeng to wash up.
I have been traveling for half a month and it is very dusty. I feel uncomfortable even if I don’t wash myself.
As night falls, the bright moonlight shines on the sweet-scented osmanthus courtyard, quiet and peaceful.
After dinner, the two of them washed up separately, blew out the candles, and lay on the bed hugging each other to sleep.
Chen Mufeng gently took her into his arms, his voice was low and affectionate, "Yao'er, it's so nice to hold you like this."
Looking at her sleeping face, my heart was full It's emotion.
He had never thought that he could hold her to sleep like this.
Looking back on the days in the Chen family, she was the sister-in-law and he was the brother-in-law. Their relationship had insurmountable ethical constraints.
Even if I already had that secret feeling in my heart, I could only bury it deep in my heart and not dare to show it at all.
Every time you see her, you have to call her "Sister-in-law" respectfully and politely.
But his eyes could not help but follow her secretly, paying attention to her every move.
Today, everything is different.
She and her third brother separated, and she was already a civil servant.
They broke free from the shackles of etiquette and were able to sleep in each other's arms so intimately, feeling each other's warmth and love.
Chen Mufeng hugged her a little tighter, as if he wanted to pass on all the suppressed emotions in the past to her through this tight hug.
Yu Yao moved slightly in his arms, but did not wake up and fell asleep quickly.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he lowered his head and kissed her gently between her eyebrows, hugged her tightly but avoided touching her belly, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the sun shone into the house through the cracks in the window, waking the two of them up from their sleep.
After Chen Mufeng had breakfast, he went out, saying he wanted to buy some things.
Yu Yao didn't care and let him go out.
Unexpectedly, when the man came back, he came back with a bunch of things.
A bright red wedding dress for men and women, a phoenix crown, a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles, a pile of red silk, a pile of red paper, and some other miscellaneous things. The piles filled most of the room, and I don’t know how much money was spent.
She was slightly startled and quickly realized that this man wanted to marry her. She slightly curled her lips and felt sweet in her heart.
Mr. Wang looked at the wedding supplies in the room and was stunned for a moment, wondering in her heart.
Why did Mr. Chen buy these? Could it be that he wants to marry Miss Yu?
Seeing Yu Yao's round belly, I thought that Mr. Chen should indeed give this girl a title.
With such a big belly, it doesn’t sound good to follow without a name or status, and it also makes people feel wronged.
Originally it was just hard to say.
I am very happy to see Master Chen taking the initiative to arrange the marriage.
Then he walked over with a smile, "Mr. Chen, are you planning to marry Miss Yu here?"
Chen Mufeng looked at Mrs. Wang and nodded with a faint smile, "Aunt Wang, that's right. So. Yaoer and I are in love. Now that she is pregnant, I want to get married to her in this yard today and give her a name. So that she can legitimately stay with me for the rest of her life."
At this point, he looked at Yu Yao with deep and guilty eyes, "Yao'er, although the ceremony is a little simpler, there are not a lot of guests, and it's not that big. There is a lot of red tape, but please believe that I will definitely compensate you with a grand wedding in the future.”
Yu Yao naturally doesn't care about this, and he also knows the situation of the two of them. Chen Mufeng can do this, which is already very good.
"I don't care about that. Being with you is the best thing."
She said with a chuckle.
He picked up the pile of red paper on the table and took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet.
Then he sat on the couch, obviously wanting to cut the word "happy".
When Mrs. Wang saw this, she was so frightened that she quickly took the scissors away from her hand and muttered: "Oh, girl, what are you doing? Pregnant women are most taboo about using scissors, so I should cut these happy words."
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment. She was not taboo about this, but she didn’t insist on cutting it. She just smiled and said : "Aunt Wang, I forgot about this, so it's all your fault."
Mrs. Wang smiled and waved her hands, "It's not hard, it's not hard. This is a great event. I'm happy for it." ”
After that, he sat on the stone bench, picked up the red paper and scissors, and started cutting skillfully.
Her movements were very neat, and after a while, the full and festive characters "囍" appeared in front of her eyes
Chen Mufeng didn't know these taboos, but thinking that Aunt Wang had come from the past, what she said was definitely correct.
Seeing that Yao'er didn't cut it again, he was relieved.
Then we got busy.
The small courtyard has been cleaned and tidy, with big red words of joy on the doors and windows, red lanterns hung under the eaves, and red silk tied into beautiful flowers, hanging all over the courtyard.
The room is also decorated with a warm and festive atmosphere, with a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles burning quietly, and longans, peanuts, red dates and pomegranates placed on the table.
It means having a son early.
There are also prepared Hexin wine and wine glasses.
After finishing these tasks, Mrs. Wang began to cleanse Yu Yao's face and dress her up.
Wearing a red wedding dress, she looks festive and beautiful, with only a slight bulge in her abdomen.
Wedding clothes are temporarily purchased at clothing stores.
Because she was pregnant, Chen Mufeng deliberately bought a bigger one just so that she could wear it, which was suitable for the occasion.
Yu Yao sat in front of the mirror and let Mrs. Wang dress her up.
Mr. Wang skillfully combed her hair carefully, tied it into an exquisite bun, and put the phoenix crown firmly on her head.
The pearls on the phoenix crown shone brightly under the candlelight, making Yu Yao even more charming and charming.
Chen Mufeng was not idle either. He was pacing back and forth in the yard, checking whether the various arrangements were in place.
In order to make the wedding lively, he invited his neighbors and servants from Li Mingxuan's villa.
I originally wanted to invite Lu Wenyuan, the prefect, the governor and other important figures from Fengqi County to teach me, but I thought it would be difficult to explain.
I was not sure whether they would come, so after some hesitation, I didn’t invite them.
But there are also many people coming.
For this reason, he specially booked a few banquet tables at Yunke Lai Restaurant.
Although there was no family blessing, it was still full of guests and friends.
He also specially hired four people to carry the sedan chair and a guard of honor, and walked around the main street of Princess Fengqi with great fanfare.
There is no lack of etiquette in the process, but it is also lively.
Mr. Wang was the officiant, her face was full of smiles, she was very happy.
The sedan chair, surrounded by everyone, slowly stopped in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus courtyard.
Chen Mufeng was dressed in festive groom's clothes, standing tall and smiling, standing at the entrance of the courtyard to greet him.
The neighbors gathered around, laughing and joking, praising the newlyweds for being such a perfect match.
Although it was strange that the newlyweds had no parents or relatives, they didn’t think much about it. They just thought they were two poor children with no father and mother. The two came together and got married.
The wedding was held lively and joyfully.
Yu Yao was in the sedan chair, looking at the lively scene outside through the gap in the curtain, and her heart was full of joy.
She gently stroked her swollen belly, thinking that she and Chen Mufeng were about to officially become husband and wife, and she was very happy.
This plane mission is a bit strange. As the original owner, it is not easy to marry Chen Mufeng legitimately.
Of course she would not be dissatisfied with everything in front of her.
Chen Mufeng has tried his best to give himself the best.
He walked forward with a smile, gently lifted the sedan curtain, stretched out his hand and gently helped Yu Yao out.
She wore a phoenix crown and a bright red bridal gown, and her figure was graceful. Although she was pregnant, she was still stunningly beautiful.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration. They only sighed that the bride is so beautiful and Mr. Chen is lucky.
Chen Mufeng held her hand and slowly walked into the yard.
The courtyard has long been decorated like a festive palace, with red silk fluttering, red lanterns hanging high, and the red word "hi" standing out.
Princess Wang stood in the middle of the yard, cleared her throat, and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived. The newlyweds are taking their seats and paying homage to the church."
Under the gaze of everyone, the two slowly stood on the red carpet that had been laid out in the center of the courtyard and stood face to face.
“Bow down to heaven and earth.”
Mr. Wang shouted angrily.
Chen Mufeng and Yu Yao turned around and bowed deeply to heaven and earth.
“Two bows to the high hall.”
Since there was no Gaotang present, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then bowed respectfully to the empty first seat.
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
The two faced each other and bowed deeply.
"The ceremony is completed and sent to the cave."
Wang Pozi shouted loudly, her face full of joy.
Afterwards, the newlyweds were sent into the cave amidst the crowds and laughter.
In the room, a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles burned quietly, implying a prosperous and happy future for the two of them.
Chen Mufeng gently lifted Yu Yao's red hijab, revealing her pretty face.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of smiles.
“Yaoer, you are finally my wife.”
Chen Mufeng looked doting and whispered with a smile.
He reached out and took the prepared Hexin wine, handed her a glass, and picked up another glass himself.
The two people's arms intertwined, their eyes met, their eyes were affectionate, and they slowly drank the wine.
After drinking the Hexin wine, Chen Mufeng put the wine glass aside and gently pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed. He kept holding his hands tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, all the beautiful things in front of him would disappear. .
Yu Yao looked at him happily, "I never thought that I could marry you legitimately. I am very happy, really."
"I'm very happy too."
Chen Mufeng smiled at the corner of his mouth and his eyes were gentle and doting, "Yao'er, I never dared to hope for this day, but now you are really by my side and become me. My wife, I am filled with joy.”
She didn’t speak, just looked at him with a smile.
I thought that if Chen Xiuyuan knew that he was married to Chen Mufeng, he would not know what his expression would be, and he would be very sad.
Chen Mufeng noticed that she seemed dazed for a moment and asked softly: "Yaoer, what are you thinking about? Are you tired?"
She came back to her senses and shook her head gently, "It's nothing, I just felt a little emotional suddenly."
She didn't want to mention Chen Xiuyuan on this wedding day, for fear of spoiling his fun.
When Chen Mufeng was about to say something, Mrs. Wang brought a plate of half-cooked dumplings and handed them to Chen Mufeng with a smile, "Groom, come and feed the bride dumplings."
He knew about the wedding. The process was not over yet, he took the plate with a smile and picked up a A dumpling was carefully fed into Yu Yao's mouth, and she asked with a low smile, "Madam, do you want to give birth?"
Yu Yao chewed the dumpling gently, blushing on her face, and looked at him angrily. He glanced at it and said vaguely: "Well, I'm still alive."
After hearing this, Chen Mufeng's smile grew stronger, but he didn't ask her to eat any more. Eating raw dumplings was bad for the stomach.
A ceremony is enough.
After that, he handed the plate of dumplings to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang reached out to take it and thought to herself: Mr. Chen is very fond of his wife. Generally, the groom will let the bride eat the whole plate of dumplings, which means eating more and giving birth to more babies.
But looking at Miss Yu’s belly, she is already pregnant with twins, so it is really not appropriate to eat more raw dumplings.
She said a few auspicious words, then turned and left, closing the door and leaving space for the young couple.
