However, when the emotion was strong, he unconsciously called out the name of the concubine. At that moment, I knew that the woman could not stay.
The bright red brocade spreads from the new door to the outside of the courtyard. Every corner of the eaves and corridors is hung with auspicious red silk.
Wearing the same color of the headdress, I sat on the wedding bed covered with red dates and peanuts, listening to the noise outside gradually subside.
I kept the same sitting posture. After a while, the nervous voice of the maid Yinzhu broke the silence: "* *, it's almost midnight."
"No problem, keep waiting."
"But..." Before Yinzhu finished speaking, there came the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Then there was a knock on the door. Through the door, the housekeeper said respectfully, "Madam, the general was suddenly ordered to suppress bandits. I'm afraid he can't come back tonight."
I was slightly stunned, and then recovered my calm: "Got it, go down."
The housekeeper hurriedly added: "The general ordered that the housekeeper's match card be handed to the madam."
"Yinzhu." I gave a look. Yinzhu immediately understood and opened the door to receive the right card.
The housekeeper saluted again and then left.
I lifted the cover, took the cards, and played them in my hands at will.
Give orders? to suppress bandits?
Is there no one available in the court, so that the newly married Xie Rong will be asked to perform the mission?
This question didn't bother me too long. The person my mother arranged beside me soon answered my question. It was said that Xie Rong volunteered to fight. The emperor repeatedly discouraged him, but he insisted on his own opinion.
His intention is obvious.
Isn't it to escape our wedding night?
I sneered and didn't pursue this problem again.
At least he showed his respect for me by giving my housekeeper the right card.
In the marriage of aristocratic families, love is a luxury. As long as he respects me and upholds my dignity as a mistress, I think we can live in harmony.
The Xie Family has guarded the border for generations, and all the loyal people died in battle. Now only he and Mrs. Xie are left.
Mrs. Xie paid attention to Buddha worship and didn't care about family affairs. She also spared me the tea ceremony the next day.
In the empty hall, I sat upright and waited for the legendary barbarian concubine to offer me tea.
Until the sun hung high, a light figure slowly entered.
She wore the clothes with the characteristics of southern barbarians, red skirt and silver bell, revealing a white waist, which made people think.
She didn't salute when she saw me, but sat directly at my head.
"Sister got up early. When I first served the general, I was too tired to move all day and night."
I kept silent about her provocation, just looked at her with a smile that seemed to be absent.
She seemed to enjoy it and didn't feel embarrassed because of my silence.
"Sister, oh no, you are later than me and younger than me. I should call you Sister * *." After saying that, she covered her mouth with a light smile and her eyes were full of provocations. I smiled lightly: "I am the only child in my family. I have no sisters, and you don't need to call me a sister. Madam is the name you should call me."
"As for you, I will call you Aunt Man later."
Xiaoman's smile suddenly solidified, but I smiled more brightly.
"Lunch time has come. Aunt Man, please go back."
The first chapter of the novel "True Wife Chenghuan: Little Concubine Stand Alone" ends.
