As soon as he entered the room, his swaying footsteps stopped. His drunk face revealed a smile and giggled as he looked at the bride, who was sitting by the bed in her wedding dress with a veil covering her face.
“Well, Brother Guan, why are you giggling? Lift the veil quickly! We want to see the bride.” Many people had crowded outside the door at some point, and started squeezing their way into the bridal chamber.
“That’s right, that’s right. We want to see the bride, and we want to celebrate in the bridal chamber.” Someone shouted.
Guan Xilin, who was just about to walk to the bedside, regained his senses. He turned around and looked behind him, then said in amazement: “Why haven’t you left yet?”
“We were afraid that you were too drunk to consummate the marriage. Who knew that you would appear as if you hadn’t had a drink the moment you entered the bridal chamber? Brother Guan, were you pretending to be drunk? Hahahaha….”
Everyone laughed loudly. They looked at Guan Xilin’s happy face and were all happy for him.
“Hehe, my brothers, you have already seen the bride, you’ve also celebrated in the bridal chamber, that should be it now! Do you think it was easy for me to get married? Every minute of the wedding night is precious, don’t you think it’s time for you to go to the front courtyard to have a drink?” Guan Xilin said with a loud laugh. His smiling eyes swept across the crowd. When he saw that they were all unwilling to leave, he couldn’t fight the urge to rub his forehead.
So, he called out immediately: “Little Jiu, Little Jiu!”
A roof tile in the corner was uncovered, and Feng Jiu stuck her head out with a smile: “Elder Brother, are you looking for me?”
Guan Xilin was stunned when he heard her voice. He looked up and stared at her in amazement: “What are you doing up on my roof?”
“Isn’t it yours and sister-in-law’s wedding night? I thought I’d listen in the corner, but there were too many people, so I had to run up to the roof!” Feng Jiu said innocently and blinked at him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jing, who was sitting beside the bed, lowered her head involuntarily, her beautiful face flushed with embarrassment. Every one of them was being improper, even Feng Jiu.
“Feng Jiu, you can’t fool your elder brother like that. Hurry up, help me take them all to the front courtyard to drink more wine. I will thank you later.” Guan Xilin cupped his hands helplessly as he asked for her help.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly: “Fine! Since elder brother has asked, then I will do you this favour.” She covered the tile back, then turned over and jumped down to the ground.
She was wearing an azure dress today, and she looked elegant and unparalleled. As soon as she came down, the people who were laughing down below retreated quickly without speaking.
“Brother Guan, every minute of your wedding night is precious, we won’t delay your wedding night any longer. We hope that you and sister-in-law will have a big chubby baby boy next year. Hahaha…”
As they spoke, they walked out, and gradually, only a few of them remained in the former lively inner courtyard.
Feng Jiu smiled and poked her head inside: “Elder Brother, sister-in-law, I’ll be leaving too.” She chuckled lightly and left.
After he watched her leave, Guan Xilin exhaled softly: “They’re finally gone, those ancestors!” He closed the door hurriedly, then locked the door and closed the window. Only after he looked around, did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He walked towards the bed, and looked at the bride who was sitting beside the bed and couldn’t help but grinned foolishly: “Ah Jing, can I lift your veil?”
