Chapter 453 Inquiring about the News in the Mansion
After drinking the wedding wine, the female relatives and guests around came to congratulate them.
The wine glasses were placed back on the golden plate, and the matchmaker cut a section of hair for each of them and tied the hair into a heart-shaped knot.
The meaning is to grow old together and be together forever.
After the bridesmaid tied the heart knot, she put it into a brocade bag and placed it under the pillow. Finally, she took a handful of longan and peanuts and scattered them on the bed while saying auspicious words. Only then was the ceremony complete.
Si He watched the whole process quietly, and Yue Fuli showed no impatience and let the bridesmaid do whatever she wanted.
Fortunately, there were no disturbances in the bridal chamber afterwards. After the ceremony, the female relatives and guests congratulated the couple again and then left the room to sit down and drink.
A group of people filed out, and Yue Fuli also stood up and prepared to go to the front yard to entertain the guests.
Si He looked at his departing back, and a hint of imperceptible loss appeared in her eyes.
However, when he was about to leave the dormitory, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to her: "If you are tired, go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me."
Hearing this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, husband."
Hearing her name, Yue Fuli pursed his lips, and his eyes looked at her with a little more complexity. She never missed an opportunity to express her love for him. Her love was passionate and pure, and her beautiful eyes seemed to contain a sky full of stars, sparkling.
But he didn't say anything in the end, turned around and walked out.
The bridal chamber finally became quiet. Apart from a few maids waiting there, only Gao You and a nanny from the Yue family were left.
The maids bowed their heads politely and stood by. The nanny bowed to Si He and said, "Fifth Young Master's Madam, the banquet has been set up in the front yard. If you would like to have a meal, I will bring some over. There are also tea and fruits on the table outside. Please feel free to eat."
Si He calmed down and looked at the nanny, saying, "Please bring me a bowl of noodles. Also, bring me some hot water. I want to take a bath."
Today she had only eaten some dry cakes, and now she wanted to eat some hot meals. Moreover, the weather was hot today, and she was wearing thick clothes, which made her feel uncomfortable. She also had a bunch of jewels and gold crowns on her head, which were heavy. She had to take them off and wash up before she could go.
"Yes, Madam Fifth Young Master, please wait a moment."
The old nanny said this and retreated respectfully.
Si He turned his gaze towards Gao You and said to him, "I don't have anything to do here, you can go down and have a rest. Also, have someone keep a close eye on those concubines and don't let them cause any trouble."
Gao You replied, "Yes."
The servants in the room had all left and were waiting at the door; there was no more hustle and bustle.
She stood up, walked to the dressing table, and took off the heavy crowns and jewels on her head one by one, and only then did she feel a little relieved.
She rubbed her neck with her hand, and after a while, she stood up and walked around the room.
The house is not too big and is of standard standard. Most of the objects in the house are newly made. However, many things look luxurious and seem too extravagant, but upon closer inspection, they are not exquisite.
Looking back at the information obtained from Yue Fuli's men before, it seems that the King of Eastern Han, Yue Yuetian, and the mistress of the Yue family have other intentions.
She reached out and moved the luxurious and expensive tent, then sat down at the table, poured a glass of water, and took a few sips.
After a while, the old nanny came in with a tray. On the tray was a porcelain cup as big as a large bowl. "Fifth Young Master, this old servant has brought you a bowl of beef noodles. Please eat it while it's hot."
As she spoke, she put the tray on the table, then picked up the porcelain cup, placed it in front of her, and then opened the lid of the porcelain cup.
The steaming hot noodle soup in the porcelain bowl instantly fills the air with its aroma, whetting your appetite. The presentation is also quite good, with a rich, slightly oily broth, and the noodles, a perfect thickness, soaking in the broth. Several large slices of beef and a few greens garnish the noodles.
The old nanny took out the chopsticks and placed them on the chopstick holder. When she was about to leave, Si He said, "What's your name, nanny?"
The old lady looked up at her and saw that she was smiling with bright eyes, as if she was an innocent and harmless girl. But when she met her eyes, she was distracted for a moment.
Now she is very familiar with controlling this special ability and can use it freely. Unless someone is too perceptive, they usually won't notice any clues. Of course, if someone notices something unusual, she will find another way to deal with it.
There was no one in the room now, and the place was not too close to the door, so if someone spoke in a low voice, no one outside could hear it.
Seeing that she had the nanny under control, Si He stopped smiling, glanced towards the door, and whispered to her, "Tell me about the situation in the mansion, and keep your voice down."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old nanny whispered to her like a puppet about the situation in the backyard of the palace.
Si He listened silently, while also paying attention to the movements outside the house.
Time passed little by little, and after a while, the soup noodles on the table were no longer steaming and the temperature had dropped.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Si He interrupted the nanny. Besides, the nanny didn't know much and couldn't find out much useful information.
However, before releasing the control, she asked one last question, "Is this side okay?"
The old lady answered truthfully: "No."
Si He smiled and said, "Very good."
The next moment, the control was lifted, and the old lady's eyes were no longer dull. She immediately regained her clarity, but for a moment, she felt a little dazed, as if she had been distracted.
When she saw Si He's smiling face, she remembered the question she had asked just now, which was to ask her name. She sighed silently in her heart. It seemed that she was getting old and her mind was easily distracted. She replied: "My surname is Mo. You can call me Madam Mo."
Si He said, "Madam Mo, thank you for your help."
Madam Mo bowed and said, "I dare not. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"it is good."
Si He withdrew her gaze, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.
On the wedding day, the bride waited in the bridal chamber for a long time. After she ate, she took a bath and washed herself, but Yue Fuli still did not come back until nightfall.
After nightfall, many red lanterns were hung on the corridor in the yard outside. The lights were bright and the scene was festive everywhere.
Several concubines of the Guo family were staying in a small room on the side. They were treated like maids, and still had to squeeze four people into one room and sleep on a large bunk bed.
At this time, it was night time and the unconscious Guo Jiamei finally woke up.
When Guo Jiamei saw the unfamiliar house, she was a little confused at first. After a while, she realized that she had been knocked unconscious by the guards!
Looking at the people on the bed, she suddenly glared, "Where is this?"
Guo Jiaqing glanced at her indifferently, too lazy to pay attention. Only Guo Jiaxin, who was also from the third room, spoke up and replied, "We have arrived at the Eastern Han Palace now."
