Phi-Fic Chapter 158 Entering the House to Meet My Sister-in-law
Chapter 158 Entering the House to Meet My Sister-in-law
Cao Rui nodded, but couldn't help but look at the woman dressed as a man a few more times, and subconsciously activated the Eye of Marriage granted by his talent, Golden Jade Match, to check her destined partner.
It's like having a hammer in your hand and everything looks like a nail.
Many red bars immediately appeared in his sight. Most of them belonged to ordinary people and were dull and dark. Because they were not the hero and heroine, even if they were truncated, the number of people unlocked would not increase.
Only the red line extending from the woman dressed as a man was particularly bright, just like Xue Baochai, extending all the way to the capital... and did not fall on the man beside her.
It turns out that the two were destined not to be together!
Cao Rui fell in love with her at first sight (he was attracted by her beauty). After all, she had the character of the heroines that often appear in classical TV dramas. She wore men's clothes and drew a mustache, but people around her couldn't recognize her.
It's bullshit!
Cao Rui thought at the time, since the girl dared to dress up as a man, he could treat her as a brother and take advantage of her in any way he could.
Now that I have the opportunity to put it into practice, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Just as Cao Rui was making his own plans, the carriage slowly stopped and headed for the Shen family's mansion.
"Brother Cao, please come. Our family has made sufficient preparations for your arrival."
Chen Shuozhen smiled meaningfully and got off the car first.
Cao Rui got off the car and saw the Shen family's gate, which was majestic and magnificent.
In order to conceal his true identity, Chen Shuozhen married a wife and brought his concubines, maids and servants, who lined up in an orderly manner, like a vivid picture scroll before people's eyes.
Cao Rui's attention was instantly attracted to the woman in the C position, and it felt extremely comfortable, like a breeze blowing through the hot summer day.
Her outfit was simple yet elegant, with a white gauze skirt and a white shawl complementing each other, outlining her graceful figure. Her hair was tied up high, with a jade hairpin lightly touching it and a gold crescent pendant swaying gently, adding a touch of gentleness and agility to her.
Her face was even more beautiful. Her clear eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, yet she maintained a calm and distant look that made people afraid to approach her easily.
"This is my legal wife, Bai Yingxue."
Chen Shuozhen introduced her in a low voice at the right time, his words full of pride and love for his wife.
Cao Rui gave her a thumbs up, saying that he really has a unique eye for beauties!
That is to say, she is a girl, otherwise she must be an expert in love, the kind who can marry the most beautiful woman in the world!
Now it’s all yours at a bargain price!
Cao Rui couldn't help but look at a concubine on Bai Yingxue's left. She was wearing a dark red brocade dress, her eyes were deep and sharp, her lips were tightly pursed, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable.
So cool!
It should be exciting to conquer, I like it!
The other concubine on the right is pretty and charming. She wears a pink skirt with a white cloak on the outside. Her hair is combed into two cute buns tied with colorful ribbons.
Her eyes were bright and lively, and her smile was as brilliant as a spring flower. Even in such a solemn occasion, she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to see what the guests her husband brought back looked like.
Whoops!
She is a carefree little elf. If you make her cry, how long will she cry?
Cao Rui was still not satisfied and wanted to see what kind of charming demeanor Chen Shuozhenna's last concubine had.
After scanning twice, he did not find the third concubine who was supposed to appear, even though there were many beautiful maids with outstanding looks in the crowd.
But both in temperament and dress, she is far behind.
Cao Rui couldn't help but whispered:
"And a concubine?"
"Hey!"
Chen Shuozhen suddenly sighed, did not answer, but asked everyone to get out of the car and go in.
But the woman dressed as a man and her companion did not get out of the car, but entered the Shen family through the side door in order to avoid being seen.
The main hall of the Shen family is antique and quaint, showing the Shen family's cultural heritage and extraordinary taste everywhere.
The two families sat down as host and guest, drank tea and chatted. After resting for a while, they moved into the inner room.
This is probably because in ancient times there was a saying of "entering the house into the room", and only if the relationship was extremely close would the man from outside be brought into the inner room and the wife and daughter be allowed to come out to meet them.
The relationship between Cao Rui and Chen Shuozhen is naturally close.
As the host, Chen Shuozhen introduced Cao Rui's identity:
"This is my life-and-death friend. From now on, whether at home or outside, you must treat him the same way you treat me."
"Understood, sir."
Bai Yingxue brought two concubines with her, and the maids responded in unison.
Chen Shuozhen said again: "Brother Cao, this is my wife, Bai, her maiden name is Yingxue."
Before he finished speaking, the maids present were a little frightened. Even if they were close friends, it was not right to tell the wife's maiden name to a man outside the family!
Bai Yingxue's cheeks flushed, she took two steps forward, folded her hands in front of her, and saluted:
"I have met Master Cao."
Cao Rui noticed that her fingers were slender and well-maintained, but the nail polish on her fingertips was peeling, probably because she had twisted the handkerchief hard before, which showed how intensely her emotions were fluctuating.
Cao Rui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite."
Chen Shuozhen asked two concubines to come forward to pay their respects, and their reactions were different.
Finally, Chen Shuozhen concluded:
"Brother Cao, Yingxue is gentle and virtuous, and she manages the household well. She is my good wife. If you need anything in the future, just look for her."
These words became more and more explicit. After hearing them, the maids from both the Shen and Xue families lowered their heads and remained silent.
Fortunately, the normal process will resume.
Cao Rui also introduced his women, his second wife Aunt Xue, his third wife Fairy Jinghuan, his fourth wife Xiangling, and his second wife's daughter Xue Baochai, who was about to marry into the Shen family as a concubine. The two families were considered to be related by marriage.
Afterwards, Cao Rui and Chen Shuozhen went to get down to business.
With the two female relatives left, the atmosphere in the inner room suddenly became much more relaxed.
As the hostess, Bai Yingxue walked forward and held Xue Baochai's hand affectionately, calling her good sister, but she couldn't help but look at the big belly of Fairy Jinghuan, with indescribable envy.
Then, I don’t know what she was thinking of, but she suddenly looked away in panic, yet looked so shy and charming.
"Humph!"
Fairy Jinghuan was used to seeing infatuated men and resentful women in the world, so she could tell at once that Bai Yingxue was in love, which was nothing.
But the eyes of the wives and concubines of the Shen family looking at her belly were too hot, which touched her reverse scale. She closed her eyes with a bad look, thinking that Cao Rui was too shameless to even steal Xue Baochai's gold lock, causing her plan to fail and her dream to be shattered.
I don’t know when the Taixu Illusion Realm will realize that something is wrong and come to rescue me?
……
Let’s just talk about Cao Rui. Under the guidance of Chen Shuozhen, he walked towards the most remote room in the backyard of Shen’s house.
en route.
Chen Shuozhen took the initiative to introduce the latest situation.
It turned out that the person she had established a relationship with in Jinling City was the General of Jiangning, Prince Shen, who was in charge of the garrison of the Eight Banners.
——Princess Zi Yan from his family likes to dress up as a man and calls herself Young Master Zi. She makes a good friend, Jin Kaiwen.
It happened that Empress Dowager Zhen Huan was suffering from the terrible disease "lucifragales" and was in critical condition.
Princess Zi Yan knew that Jin Kaiwen's family had a rare ink called "Eight Gallbladders and Five Gallbladders Red" in their collection, which could be used to treat the Empress Dowager's illness, so she kindly recommended it.
Unexpectedly, Jin Kaiwen was framed by a villain and imprisoned, and almost killed the Empress Dowager Zhen Huan.
Princess Zi Yan was extremely anxious and rescued Jin Kaiwen before he was escorted to Beijing to be executed.
Chen Shuozhen, disguised as "Shen Zhiqi", was also asked to support him outside.
