Chapter 149: The Prince Song's Clothing Makes People Rage
Jiang Huaiyi looked at her with shocked and complicated eyes.
"You are dreaming too much. Your elder sister hasn't even married yet, but you are already eyeing her. Let alone whether the hidden doctor can be invited or not? Will he come? It's not easy to just ask for this. You can't just act like this just because General Pei loves your sister a little bit. What's more, they are still in Xijing City today and will leave for Hanzhou tomorrow. How can they have time to find a hidden doctor for you?"
"No, no, aunt, the hidden doctor is in Hanzhou. I'm hoping that my elder sister can bring him back this time. That way, I can also... have a chance to get his treatment."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyi didn't know how to answer.
In theory, this is not a big deal, but there are too many grievances and hatreds between the two sisters. Jiang Huaiyi thought about it carefully and didn't know whether he should say it, so he changed his mind and spoke to her.
"I can't promise you about the hidden doctor, but I can still find some famous doctors. It's not just Hanzhou that has famous doctors in the whole of Dasui. Jingzhou also has them. I was going to send some more things from Jingzhou. I'll write to them and tell them that if they can find a good doctor, they will bring him back to you. But whether you can get pregnant depends on your own luck. Jin'er, do your best to accumulate virtue and blessings for the child, understand?"
Jiang Shijin's trip today wasn't in vain to get this answer from his aunt, so he kowtowed to his aunt in gratitude.
Jiang Huaiyi felt a little sorry for the crying and snotting appearance of the girl.
"Don't worry, aunt. I have learned my lesson this time and will never have any bad thoughts again. I just want to have a child of my own, a boy or a girl, so that I can have a place to rely on and a bond with the child in that huge palace."
Hearing her words, Jiang Huaiyi couldn't help but sigh. Looking at his niece who was not even twenty years old, he felt really sorry for her.
My best years are about to be wasted in that palace, but who can I blame for what has happened today?
The aunt and niece were talking about sad things here, while in the front hall, Jiang Huaishan looked at Prince Song with a forced smile, revealing a bit of disgust.
Song Shiye was dressed exceptionally handsome today. Everything else was fine except the color of his clothes, which were made of scarlet gold thread. Although he was not as red as a new groom, someone who didn't know the truth would think that he was the one getting married today. It was simply unreasonable.
He would do this completely on purpose.
Ever since those fragments flashed across his mind that day, more and more things about Jiang Shiyuan have accumulated in his mind, and most of them are actually about their married life. This makes him more and more suspicious. Where do these thoughts and ideas come from?
So today Jiang Shiyuan was very happy, how could he not come? Not only did he come, but he also changed into this outfit on purpose, just to show it to the Jiang family.
Jiang Huaishan was dissatisfied, and so was Jiang Shihui next to him.
This was the first time Song Shiye met Jiang Shiyuan's brother, but for some reason he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, so he walked up and said something.
"I heard that you have been studying in the academy for many years. You are coming back to Beijing for the next spring exam. I know a few examiners here. They may have different opinions. If you need them, I can introduce them to you."
This was almost like saying that one could cheat for you. Jiang Shihui appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he hated such behavior. If everyone in the court did the same, then why would the imperial examination target everyone in the world? Wouldn't it be enough for the sons and nephews of the officials in the court to join in the fun?
But today is his sister's big day, he doesn't want to cause trouble to you, so he held back his temper and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, but I am stupid and I won't make the examiners laugh at me. If I have the chance, I will pass the exam. If I don't have the ability, it will be useless even if I meet many examiners."
As soon as he said one sentence, he was pushed back, and Song Shiye's face didn't look good either.
But he thought that Jiang Shihui was Jiang Shiyuan's elder brother after all. If he offended him too much, it would be difficult for him to act in the future. So he pretended not to understand and endured it.
There was no point in talking to each other, and both the Jiang family father and son had no good impression of him, so they made the excuse of entertaining other guests and went somewhere else, leaving Song Shi standing there alone, looking outstanding and out of place!
After waiting for a while, the servant guarding the door came running over and shouted.
"The uncle is here!"
This shout was so joyful that everyone started laughing, especially Jiang Huaishan and his son Jiang Shihui. They didn't have a very good impression of Pei Zisu originally, but with Song Shiye's comparison, they felt that he was the best man in the world!
Therefore, Jiang Huaishan shouted happily.
"Go, invite the Pei family in."
"Yes, my lord."
Pei Zisu originally thought that he might have to face many difficulties and obstacles when he came to get married today, so he was fully prepared. However, who knew that he would get in so smoothly. When he entered the Jiang family's mansion with excitement, his face became a little gloomy when he saw Song Shiye's outfit.
Pei Zimiao and Pei Ziyao both followed their eldest brother to the wedding today, including Uncle Nie. They didn't notice Song Shiye at first, but when they saw their brother was stunned, they looked in the direction he was looking, and their expressions became much uglier.
Uncle Nie was especially dissatisfied with him when he thought about the fact that the villain was probably harassing his general on the orders of Prince Chun's Mansion. Although he had a lame leg, the terrifying aura was still there. The look in his eyes when he looked at Song Shiye was like that of a jackal, and he couldn't wait to go up and tear off his clothes.
Pei Sanlang was also a straightforward person, and he started to speak out immediately.
"Uncle, if I remember correctly, this man should be the husband of the second young lady in the mansion. Why is there also a happy event for him today?"
Any normal person would know that one would not wear red to offend a newlywed couple in such an occasion, so this Prince Song was either a fool or was deliberately provoking them. No matter what, he had offended the Pei family.
Song Shi also felt a little guilty. After all, he was facing soldiers with murderous intentions on the battlefield. Now they were all staring at him, which was naturally uncomfortable. However, he had an inexplicable obsession with Jiang Shiyuan, so he gritted his teeth and walked forward to stand next to Jiang Huaishan and said to Pei Sanlang.
"Third Young Master, you don't know that today, Madam's elder sister is getting married. As family members, we are here to see her off, which is a happy occasion. It is normal for us to wear brighter clothes. However, there is another reason. The clothes at home are either white or black, and we really can't find a suitable set. So we took out this set to wear. I remember that General Pei also liked to wear a robe with red and gold python patterns and arrow sleeves before he got married, so I thought it was nothing."
What he meant was that it's not that you can't wear red on a daily basis, so what can anyone do to him even if he wears it?
