Chapter 3 Wedding Night
Xu Qiuyue sat in the bridal chamber meditating and regulating her breathing. She was thinking that she must practice martial arts well in this life. What she practiced was an unnamed mental method in the space. At the beginning, because she was illiterate, she could only practice by following the pictures.
Because I have practiced it once in my previous life, I am even more adept at practicing it in this life.
The only thing Xu Qiuyue was thankful for was that Xuan Jiuqing taught her how to read and write, otherwise she would not have understood this mental method. When their relationship was at its best, Xuan Jiuqing also taught her other martial arts moves.
Because the nameless mental method is too difficult to practice.
Even if you have mastered it, it's just a breath of internal energy. Once you really fight with a master, it will be very difficult to win.
Xu Qiuyue waited in the bridal chamber for a long time before she heard a burst of angry footsteps.
Xu Qiuyue recalled that in her previous life, Xu Chunhua cried to her and complained that Lu Yuan was a stingy person. He took away all her dowry on the wedding night and didn't give her a penny to spend afterwards.
However, Lu Yuan was very generous to Xuan Jiuqing. He basically gave her as much money as she asked for and was never stingy. He also gave her a lot of rare and precious items as a gift.
Suddenly, a pair of red wedding boots appeared in front of Xu Qiuyue.
Blocked by the red veil, Xu Qiuyue could only see a dark shadow with an upright figure.
The air was filled with a sense of oppression.
Even though Xu Qiuyue was wearing a veil and couldn't see Lu Yuan's face, she could still feel that Lu Yuan's face was as gloomy as water.
The two of them sat facing each other in silence, separated by a red veil. No one spoke.
Xu Qiuyue didn't urge him either.
There was no other breathing sound in the room. It seemed that the matchmaker and the maid had been sent out.
Under normal circumstances, the bridesmaid should preside over the subsequent ceremony of unveiling the veil and drinking from the cups.
But Lu Yuan was a ridiculous person and never paid attention to any rituals.
"I still have some account books for some shops to look over. I'm going to sleep in the study today."
Lu Yuan did not lift the veil.
Instead, he spoke to Xu Qiuyue in a deep voice.
If he hadn't taken away Xu Qiuyue's dowry, he would obviously look down on these cheap stuff.
Xu Qiuyue thought Lu Yuan would be furious.
But Lu Yuan didn't, he just said in a cold voice.
"and many more."
Xu Qiuyue called Lu Yuan.
At this moment, she did not care about her own interests and lifted the red veil herself.
She pulled out a ginseng wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve, with some dirt still on it.
This is the ginseng she carefully cultivated using spiritual spring water.
It looks like it's hundreds of years old.
Such ginseng should be worth several thousand taels of silver.
Xu Qiuyue carefully opened the handkerchief, revealing the ginseng inside, and said to Lu Yuan: "My husband, my parents have had a hard time, and I know that what they did is unreasonable, but after all, they have raised me for many years.
I have loved playing in the mountains since I was young. Luckily I found such a ginseng and have been taking good care of it until just before my wedding, when I went to the mountains to dig it out.
I want to use this to present to my husband."
Xu Qiuyue knew that tonight was her wedding night. If Lu Yuan did not spend the night with her, her future life would certainly be difficult.
So she offered the ginseng.
No matter what, at least Lu Yuan could be kept on the wedding night, so that the maids and servants in the mansion would not look down on Xu Qiuyue.
After all, Xu Qiuyue married into the Lu family alone, and she didn't even have a maid by her side.
If the servants are too harsh, they will not be given oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Xu Qiuyue married into the Lu family again and could not leave the house at will, so it was naturally not easy for her to dig mountain products to support herself.
At most, she would just be like Xu Chunhua in her previous life, growing vegetables in the backyard and being self-sufficient, which was also a leisurely life. Lu Yuan's eyes lit up in an instant.
In an instant, his whole face went from gloomy to full of smiles.
Xu Qiuyue didn't expect this either.
Lu Yuan actually loves money to such an extent.
Lu Yuan moved quickly. In an instant he took the ginseng from Xu Qiuyue's hand and stuffed it neatly into his sleeve. The whole process was smooth and natural.
"My lady, you are too polite! Since the betrothal gift has been given to me, it belongs to me. You don't have to mind it."
Lu Yuansheng looks like a decent person, and when he tries to please others, his smile looks extremely bright.
This was how Lu Yuan tried to please Xu Qiuyue in his previous life.
This led Xu Qiuyue to suspect that what Xu Chunhua said might be false.
Because Lu Yuan was really generous after Xuan Jiuqing became a prince.
Before Xuan Jiuqing became a prince, the two families had no contact with each other.
Naturally, Xu Qiuyue couldn't see Lu Yuan either.
Xu Qiuyue raised her eyes, looked at Lu Yuan steadily, and whispered to him, "Husband, it's late, why don't you rest here for a night."
Xu Qiuyue concluded that Lu Yuan was a playboy and a dissolute person.
He would not refuse the one who came to his door, especially his legitimate wife.
Xu Qiuyue has a beautiful face. Although she looks completely different from Xu Chunhua, and also not like her father and mother, she is also a beauty.
Xu Qiuyue once suspected that she might not be a child of the Xu family.
But if you think about it carefully, given Xu's father's stingy personality and his preference for boys over girls, he would definitely not raise a child for someone else, let alone a girl.
Although Xujia Village is relatively wealthy, there are still many bad habits here.
For example, if there are too many daughters, some families will choose to drown the infants.
Because daughters are like spilled water, they belong to someone else's family.
After hearing what Xu Qiuyue said, Lu Yuan looked at her meaningfully but said nothing.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was silent, Xu Qiuyue approached Lu Yuan and said softly, "I will change clothes for my husband."
"My lady, you are quite skilled in this technique!"
Xu Qiuyue was shocked but did not show it on her face. She had changed clothes for Xuan Jiuqing many times in her previous life and was already very skilled at it.
But she was just a farm girl now, and she didn't know how to untie such complicated clothes.
Xu Qiuyue pretended to know nothing and said, "I don't know why my husband said this."
Xu Qiuyue had helped Lu Yuan take off his clothes until he was left with only his underwear. If she took off more, Lu Yuan's fair skin would be visible.
Lu Yuan lived a life of luxury, so he was born with a very fair complexion, and his skin was no worse than that of a woman.
Just as Xu Qiuyue continued, Lu Yuan grabbed Xu Qiuyue's hand.
The skin on the back of Xu Qiuyue's hand was unexpectedly good, not like the skin of a peasant girl at all, and its texture was very much like silk.
"Since Madam is already so impatient, how can I let you work so hard any more..."
Lu Yuan's voice was low. He lowered his head, hugged Xu Qiuyue, and his breath fell on Xu Qiuyue's face.
Xu Qiuyue finally couldn't help it, and stretched out her finger and lightly touched Lu Yuan's eyebrows.
Lu Yuan fell into a deep sleep, lying on the bed.
"You had sex with your new wife last night, just like any other night. However, your sexual desire was aroused, so you could only make do with it. It was boring, so you fell into a deep sleep. When you woke up, you planned to go out and have some fun."
