Chapter 6 The Wedding Night
Jia Min and I got married in the spring of the next year. By then, I had already taken up the post of Lantai Temple official.
A man's three great joys in life: promotion, wealth, and marrying a fairy. I had taken all of them.
On the wedding night, I declined countless relatives and colleagues who wanted to force wine on me. I pushed open the door with cheerful steps.
Inside the room, the red phoenix warm curtains and the big red flower candles burned both festive and ambiguous.
I lifted the new bride's veil and was so struck by the revealed face that my heartbeat almost stopped.
Cao Gong said that Lin Daiyu was the number one beauty in the world in terms of bones. How could her mother be lacking?
Jia Min's eyes flowed with tenderness. She shyly lowered her head, turning her body to the side and not daring to look at me.
"Do you still remember me?"
I sat beside Jia Min and asked in a low voice, somewhat nervously.
"Have I met the young master before?"
She opened her mouth, still soft, like a piece of warm mutton fat white jade.
"We have met. Last year on this day, I lost my umbrella. It was you who told the servant woman to hand me a new one."
Jia Min remembered. She turned her eyes excitedly and looked at me for a long time.
"It was you."
Her cheeks flushed red. She lowered her eyes and covered her lips with a handkerchief.
"It turns out that my fate with the young master began at that time."
Yes. I had transmigrated here precisely to meet you.
I said silently in my heart, then carefully took Jia Min's hand.
She was very shy, but she did not dodge.
Her hand was a bit cool, soft and boneless. The jade bracelet on her wrist was like a pool of clear water.
"From now on, just call me Ruhai."
Jia Min nodded like a chicken pecking rice and timidly called out Ruhai.
She was so cute.
"Has your health been good in recent years? The cold air is heavy today. You sat for a whole day and probably have not eaten yet."
Jia Min pursed her lips and did not speak.
"Are you hungry? His Majesty has bestowed two highly respected Imperial Physicians upon us. I specifically instructed them to prepare a dinner to nourish the body. If you are hungry, call them in and have them check your body as well."
Jia Min looked a bit confused.
I had to ensure her body was fine before I could bear to touch her.
