Coming out from the Ancestral Hall, the two of them went to the courtyard and since the King Jin and the Prince Jin's Wife were there to spectate, it was not easy to arrange the seats for the High Hall. Although the two of them were people who did not care about etiquette, and expressed that they did not need to sit in the right seat, the Marquis did not dare to be slow. In the end, they did not dare to push the position of the four of the main hall to the left and right, but because of this, the middle seat of the main hall was actually empty.
Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi stood in the center, bowing to the, as per normal. However, if there was anyone with sharp eyes, they would realize that the two of them were standing in the middle of the hall, looking like they were bowing to the Marquis, but in reality, they had cleverly avoided the two of them. If Xie Jingxi could see it, she would have definitely guessed that it was on purpose. However, whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, it was not important.
After the ceremony, the new wife entered the bridal chamber to reveal her bridal veil. The new wife entered the bridal chamber to drink a cup of wine, and the group of people crowded around the bridal chamber to take a look at the new wife. This time, Gu Yun quickly satisfied them by revealing the bridal veil first. The feeling of having his eyes covered was not pleasant at all, not to mention that Xie Jingxi had already protected him for most of the day.
The moment the bridal veil was opened, everyone who saw it was amazed, it was the first time they saw such a naturally tender new wife, and being able to roughly see her original appearance was already a standard, although Xie Jingxi still felt as if her face was covered with a layer of plastered plaster.
Look at how this hurts your wife, you know that it's not convenient for her, and if you don't know it, you might think that you're too anxious to inspect the goods, afraid that we'll change your precious daughter-in-law. It's not like you haven't seen him move, and your hands never let go.
Prince Jin's Wife is a hot topic, after entering the bridal room, he started to mess with Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi. Everyone laughed together, and Gu Yun was not angry, no matter what you say, I will admit it word for word.
”Oh, this new bride's face is quite unique, but it doesn't look like it's made of pure gold. It must be pretty light.”
Ever since the Xing Family had married into the Gu Family's second house, she had often come to visit. This time, she had merely come with the Xing Family to join in the fun, and was not a true guest. Since the person who had come was a guest, Marquis Mansion definitely did not mean anything to her.
Everyone could hear the ridicule in her words, they could tell that Xie Jingxi's face was not made of gold, but Xie Jingxi did not know what kind of material it was. It looked like silver, but it did not look like anything, so she did not know where Gu Yun got it from.
The purity of the gold and the size of the head were all symbols of one's family background. Other people did not say that they knew to leave some face for others, but saying that way would inevitably cause them to feel awkward. Ever since that Young Madam Xing entered Marquis Mansion, her eyes started to search for good things in the house. From Lady Zeng to Second Young Madam, and then to Third Miss Gu, she was dressed in luxurious clothing, and her appearance in the second house couldn't be compared to it. Young Madam Xing, who had never seen good things before, was naturally envious and jealous.
She had finally met Xie Jingxi, who was a slightly shabby new wife, and her face was even worse than the one she used to wear back then. She could not hold back her laughter. A young milkmaid, who was dressed relatively modestly, smiled and said softly, ”The eldest young master loves his wife. This face is light and elegant, and is not too tiring, just fitting our new mistress' temperament. Furthermore, the east pearl there is not something that can be easily obtained; it has been polished into such a small piece.”
The voice was not loud, and was very pleasing to the eyes. Xie Jingxi glanced over, and it was indeed the second wife's eldest son, the young mistress' Lady Zou, who did not come to Marquis Mansion often, and was a very reliable person. Xie Jingxi did not have much of an impression of her, but he was not bad.
When the Lady Zou explained it this way, everyone could not help but appreciate it. This kind of Eastern Pearl was already hard to come by, and the big one was worth a lot, and the big one was already a high quality fortune. Who would be willing to grind them into small ones, and only grind 18 of them in one go just for the sake of wearing the Light Province.
However, Gu Yun's heart was not so simple. Those young ladies who had their own thoughts and intentions, looked at Xie Jingxi again, and their hearts felt a little uncomfortable.
Prince Jin's Wife laughed, ”I already said that our Jingwan is blessed, but this lady looks a little unfamiliar, but I don't know which family she belongs to.”
The Xing Family was a fairly well-off merchant family. Even the wives of the rank were several levels lower than the most ordinary wives, and those who could enter Marquis Mansion and below the third rank were rarely seen. In their eyes, the young matron of the Xing Family was no less than a lowly maid.
When they heard Prince Jin's Wife's words, they realized that Second Branch Madam Xing still had a few looks left in her eyes. Realizing that Prince Jin's Wife's tone wasn't very happy, they stopped their sister-in-law who was about to introduce themselves and said, ”I'm sorry, Prince Jin's Wife, but this is my family's sister-in-law. She just happened to be at my place for a few days, so she came along with me.”
Prince Jin's Wife casually glanced in the direction of Young Madam Xing, then gave a meaningful response. A person who hadn't received an invitation from Marquis Mansion, who came in just to get a hint of joy, casually said that it was annoying, and was even a family, truly making people look down on him.
The Xing Family's young matron had thought that she would have the privilege of speaking with the Prince Jin's Wife, but the latter had completely ignored her. After being humiliated a few times by Xie Jingxi, the Xing Family decided to keep their guard up. Seeing that their sister-in-law was displeased, they decided to drag her out of the bridal chamber and found an excuse to send her back.
