Chapter 422 The Huo Family Heirloom
He held up two cups of wedding wine, looked at Zhao Qiaoniang tenderly and said, "My lady, let's drink the wedding wine."
The two men intertwined their hands and slowly drank the wine. At this moment, bursts of laughter came from outside the house.
Huo Jun frowned slightly, put down his wine glass, and strode out the door.
When he pushed open the door, he saw a group of children huddled together, stretching their heads to look into the house. When the children saw Huo Jun coming out, they instantly went wild.
"Run! It will be terrible if we are caught by General Huo!" A little girl with pigtails screamed.
As soon as he finished speaking, they dispersed.
As he ran, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "General Huo is in his bridal chamber! General Huo is in his bridal chamber!"
The childish cries echoed in the night, attracting the attention of passing soldiers and knowing smiles on their faces.
Huo Jun looked at the children's backs as they walked away, shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile.
He turned back into the house. Under the candlelight, Zhao Qiaoniang's face turned even redder...
Last night, Huo Jun called for water several times, and the candlelight flickered until late at night.
The next morning, Huo Jun and Zhao Qiaoniang walked into the tent hand in hand.
Zhao Qiaoniang wore a yellow skirt with lively butterflies embroidered on the hem and lace trim on the cuffs and neckline.
Her long hair was loosely tied up, and a few strands of hair fell playfully beside her fair cheeks.
Her hair was adorned with a peach blossom hairpin, which swayed gently as she walked. She looked pretty and charming, as if she was several years younger.
Lin Wanwan was sitting at the table eating breakfast. When she saw the two of them come in, her eyes lit up instantly and she waved her little hand to greet them.
Zhao Qiaoniang's face was filled with a happy smile. Lin Wanwan couldn't help but sigh that she hadn't seen her mother so happy for a long time. A happy woman really exudes a different kind of radiance.
Zhao Qiaoniang quickly walked to Lin Wanwan's side, squatted down, gently touched her head and said, "My dear, were you good yesterday?"
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Of course she's well behaved. Our Wanwan is the most sensible one. She stays quiet at night and doesn't make any noise at all."
Huo Jun stepped forward and said in a loud and respectful voice, "Dad, Mom, we are here to serve you tea."
As they spoke, the two took the teacups handed to them by their subordinates and respectfully presented them to Madam Bai and Father Lin.
Mrs. Bai took the teacup with a smile on her face, took a sip, then took out two red envelopes from her side and handed them to the young couple, implying a prosperous new life.
It was Lin Song, Lin Bo, Lin Yuan and Lin Wanwan's turn.
Huo Jun had already prepared gifts for the children. He first handed a set of exquisite writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone to Lin Song and Lin Bo.
This set of stationery has paper as white as snow, delicate and smooth, and the brushes are made of top-quality wolf hair. A set costs dozens of taels. Brushes, ink, paper and inkstone were very expensive in ancient times and could be considered luxury goods.
Huo Jun turned around, picked up a sword that gleamed with cold light, and handed it to Lin Yuan.
The sword has a slender body, smooth lines, and an extremely sharp blade that flashes a cold light in the sun. A green gem is inlaid on the hilt, adding a bit of majesty.
"Lin Yuan, I hope this sword can help you master martial arts." Huo Jun patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said.
Finally, Huo Jun walked up to Lin Wanwan and took out a golden lock from the brocade box.
The lock body is carved with lifelike unicorn and lotus patterns, symbolizing good luck and peace.
He gently put the longevity lock on Lin Wanwan's neck and said with a smile, "Wanwan, I hope you grow up safely and have a smooth life."
Mrs. Bai was stunned: "Huo Jun, isn't this longevity lock the one that your Huo family has passed down from generation to generation?"
Huo Jun smiled and said, "Yes! It's the Huo family's heirloom. My grandfather said, pass it on to my favorite child..."
Master Bai coughed and said, "This...isn't this inappropriate? This is your Huo family's heirloom, a family heirloom, to be passed down to the future successor of the Huo family..."
Huo Jun picked up Lin Wanwan and said, "Huo family successor? I think Wanwan is quite suitable. No one said that the Huo family successor must be a man!"
Lin Wanwan looked at Huo Jun. Oh my! This dad is so good. Why does she like him so much?
After finishing the meal, Huo Jun looked at Mrs. Bai and said, "Shen Mingyue is spoiled. I'm afraid things are not that simple."
Madam Bai sighed and said:
"Princess Duanmin is a domineering person, but she is usually very restrained.
Later, after I got married, I was under the control of my husband, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened!
But I heard that the relationship between the prince consort and Princess Duanmin is not good. In recent years, the prince consort has seen through the world and no longer cares about worldly matters.
That's why Shen Mingyue is becoming more and more arrogant now."
Then I heard someone outside reporting:
"General Huo, I heard that Shen Mingyue and Huo Qing are getting married, and they even sent an invitation.
You must attend the banquet tomorrow."
Huo Jun took the wedding invitation from the soldier and casually placed it on the table, saying, "Okay, I got it."
Huo Jun didn't expect Shen Mingyue to get married so soon. Madam Bai opened the wedding invitation and said, "I'm afraid Shen Mingyue deliberately married Huo Qing because she saw you getting married."
"I don't care who she marries, as long as she doesn't marry me, I can accept it." Huo Jun sneered and said, "This Huo Qing is quite hardworking!"
Madam Bai asked, "Will you go to the banquet tomorrow?"
Huo Jun sneered and said:
"Of course I have to go, and formally introduce Qiao Niang to everyone. Besides, it is necessary to take Qiao Niang out for more walks and sightseeing.
If we go to Bianjing, this kind of occasion will definitely happen, Qiaoniang, what do you think?"
The Huo family is considered a prominent family. If they go to Bian Jing in the future, they will probably encounter such scenes often.
Huo Jun also wanted to take Zhao Qiaoniang to see it, so as to avoid being embarrassed when he went to Bian Jing in the future.
Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and said, "Of course I want to go and see the excitement too."
Early the next morning, several little girls with lively eyes and eyebrows came in one after another and went straight to the dressing table.
Madam Bai had a hint of smile on her lips and said softly, "Now their skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. Their dressing and make-up skills are almost catching up with mine."
Madam Zheng nodded and said, "These girls are indeed very skillful, and they know more and more styles."
These girls were all carefully trained by Madam Zheng and Madam Bai. When they heard the praise, their cheeks turned slightly red and their eyes were filled with joy.
They were quick and agile and quickly surrounded Zhao Qiaoniang.
One of them took out a carved sandalwood comb and gently combed Zhao Qiaoniang's long hair, which was like a waterfall. Another person picked out a jade hairpin and a pearl hairpin from the dressing box.
Soon, an exquisite Chaoyun Jinxiang bun appeared in front of everyone. The swaying pearls and jade made Zhao Qiaoniang's skin look like cream, bright and beautiful.
Afterwards, the little maids brought out a ermine fur coat with a dark blue satin surface, embroidered with peonies in gold thread, and the cuffs and collar were made of soft and fine lambskin, which was luxurious and warm.
