Newlyweds always liked to be entangled together. Even if they didn't do anything, just whispering sweet nothings to each other, it was still quite addictive!
The excitement of marriage and falling in love were obviously different, and it was even more so for the ancient people.
Although the customs of the Tang Dynasty were more open, marriage was still a big matter and could not be avoided by parents and matchmakers. Ninety percent of the couples would get married first and then fall in love. The husband and wife did not know each other before marriage. After marriage, they would slowly get used to each other. If they got used to each other well, they would be happy for the rest of their lives. If they didn't get used to each other, they could only change to another person …
Of course, this referred to the man, so many people liked to marry concubines. It was probably because they didn't get along well with the first wife.
Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi were lucky. Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, they had experienced a lot of things together. They met, knew each other, fell in love, and finally got married. Therefore, once the two of them got married, they were inseparable and couldn't be separated no matter how hard they tried.
The young couple did some shameless things in the room and only left the room at five in the afternoon. Li Zexuan felt that Xiao He and Xiao Xi were looking at him strangely, as if … as if they were looking at an animal.
Li Zexuan opened his mouth and wanted to argue with the two maidservants, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. If he was an animal, then so be it. At least it was better than being single.
During dinner, Li Zexuan found that there was an extra dish on the table. It was a dish that he had never seen before. It was a dish that had never appeared in the Li family before.
"Come, Xuan 'er, try this soup. It's very good for your health!"
Madam Li was full of smiles. She stood up and picked up the small bowl in front of Li Zexuan and filled it to the brim.
Li Zexuan was speechless. He was just about to ask what kind of soup it was when his mother gave him a bowl. He felt that there was something wrong with it.
The soup in front of him looked black. There were a few pieces of spring onion floating on the surface of the soup, and there seemed to be a few pieces of meat and bones at the bottom. Although the appearance was a little bad, it smelled quite good.
"Mother, what soup is this? How come I've never seen it in our house? "
Although his mother would not harm him, Li Zexuan still wanted to ask. After all, everyone was curious!
"Hehe, this is a soup made from a few different types of meat and a few herbs that can clear away heat. This is my first time making this soup, so it might not look good, but it's especially good for the body. Xuan 'er, drink some!"
Mrs. Li blushed and said embarrassedly.
"Mother, this soup smells so good! Let me try it too! "
Seeing that Mrs. Li's expression was a little unnatural, she thought that she was embarrassed because it was her first time making such a soup. As a daughter-in-law, Han Yuxi naturally had to stand up and "support" her mother-in-law at this time.
In her opinion, even if the soup her mother-in-law made for her for the first time tasted terrible, she would just have to endure it. It would be fine as long as her mother-in-law was happy.
"Uh …"
Mrs. Li's expression froze. Mr. Li, who was next to her, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Han Yuxi blinked in confusion, not knowing what went wrong.
"Ahem, Yuxi! It's my first time making this kind of soup, so I might not have a good grasp of the heat. Let Xuan 'er drink it! In the future, when I'm familiar with it, I'll make it for you! "
Mrs. Li saw that her son and daughter-in-law were looking at her hesitantly and hurriedly explained. After that, she glared at her son and said sternly, "Xuan 'er, why aren't you drinking it? Do you want your wife to taste the soup for me personally?"
"Hehe, brother, drink it quickly. If it tastes good, Lan 'er wants to drink it too!"
Lan 'er smelled the fragrance of the soup and wanted to get a bowl, but after hearing what her mother said to her sister-in-law, she immediately sat down and urged her brother to taste it for her.
"Uh …"
It turned out that his mother was using him as a guinea pig to test the new soup! But why did she have to make it so strange? Li Zexuan was a little confused, but since his mother had already said so, and there was a mischievous girl beside her urging him, it would be unmanly of him to refuse.
Thus, Li Zexuan tragically became a guinea pig. He picked up the small bowl in front of him and drank the soup clean in a few mouthfuls. He also picked up a few pieces of meat and ate them. In the end, this guy even smacked his lips as if he was savoring the aftertaste.
"Mm! Delicious! "
Li Zexuan gave a thumbs up under the expectant gazes of the crowd and praised, "Mother, although this soup doesn't look very good, the taste is very good. Mother, you are really too talented. Even though it's your first time making it, you made it so well!"
This was definitely not Li Zexuan deliberately flattering his mother. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. It was just that in this soup, other than chicken, duck, and goose, he felt that there was another type of meat, but he couldn't taste it.
"Wow! Is it really that good? Then Lan 'er wants to drink it too! "
As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, the snack vendor Lan 'er was the first to stand up impatiently to scoop the soup.
Li Jingmo's hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled violently. Then, he quickly snatched the spoon from Lan 'er's hand and said, "Lan' er, you can't drink this soup!"
"Why?"
Lan 'er looked at her father in confusion. In her impression, her father wasn't so stingy with her.
"Ahem, this, this soup is specially made by your mother to nourish your brother's body. Your brother has been running around for the past few days to get married and is exhausted. Lan 'er, don't fight with your brother for it!"
Perhaps realizing that his tone was a little inappropriate, Li Jingmo put on a smiling face and patiently explained to his daughter.
"Father, there's still so much soup. I can't finish it alone. Let's all have a bowl each!"
Li Zexuan looked at the nameless soup that was more than a catty in front of him and was speechless.
"No, Xuan 'er, this is the soup that your mother boiled for the entire afternoon. Hurry up and finish it. Don't let down your mother's painstaking efforts! If Lan 'er and Yuxi want to drink it, your mother can make it tomorrow. Moreover, tomorrow's soup will definitely be better than this! "
Li Jingmo quickly retorted.
"Yes! Xuan 'er, hurry up and drink it! Today's soup is just for me to try my hand. I'll make more tomorrow. Everyone will have a share. You can drink today's soup first! "
Madam Li also hurriedly said.
"Mother is right. Husband, you've worked hard these past few days. Hurry up and drink this soup! I can drink it tomorrow! "
Han Yuxi also turned around and advised after hearing her parents-in-law's words.
"Oh! Then hurry up and drink it, Brother! Lan 'er won't fight with you! "
Lan 'er glanced at him and generously waved her small hand and said.
"Alright! Thank you, Mother! "
Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. If he finished such a big bowl of soup, then what was he going to eat later? However, with four pairs of eyes staring at him, he had to drink it even if he didn't want to!
Thus, Li Zexuan didn't eat anything for dinner because he was full!
Madam Li nodded her head in relief when she saw this. Most of the soup's recipe that she just mentioned was true. It was just that she added a few pieces of sheep's penis to the meat and a few more aphrodisiacs to the medicine.
She couldn't be blamed for this! In the afternoon, she heard from the servants that her son and daughter-in-law only left the room at five in the afternoon. She was worried that her son would overindulge and his body wouldn't be able to take it. Therefore, the Li family had such a new dish for tonight's banquet.
It had to be said that Madam Li was worried sick for her son. However, Li Zexuan was wrongly accused! In the afternoon, other than hugging and kissing in the room, he and Han Yuxi didn't run amok like his mother thought!
In this way, the innocent Han Yuxi would have to "suffer" again tonight!
