Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 533: The Empress’s Beauty, Like a Fairy Descending to Earth, Dazzles the Eyes (2)
"Well then, that’s great. With the Castle Lord of Jueqing leading us, we can definitely find the hall without any mistakes," Zhao Fenghua chimed in cheerfully at the side.
"Hahaha, what are we waiting for? Please, after you." Jueqing strode forward, leading the remaining group away.
Feng Xi wiped the sweat from his face, noticing that the carriages behind were still tangled up. He called over a servant to find a place to park them in order, as it wouldn’t do to have the road blocked when they hadn’t even started the procession yet.
Mrs. Cao Kun was seething with anger inside the carriage, swaying back and forth. After inquiring, she found that someone had pushed her carriage aside. She scolded the coachman for a while, sat back down, and then glared at her maid and poked her forehead, "Can’t you do one thing right? What use are you if you just eat for free? Now roll out quickly! Do you expect me to sit in this carriage forever? Do you want to roast me alive or what?"
"Yes, yes, my lady, please calm your anger. I’ll go right away," the maid scrambled out of the carriage, seeing that there were not as many people outside as before, and walked off with her chest puffed out and head held high.
"Hey, Feng Xi, our lady is still in the carriage. It’s been forever; why haven’t you arranged anything yet? Are you trying to cook our lady alive? Or do you not hold our lady in regard?"
Seeing her with hands on hips, angrily glaring at him, Feng Xi’s anger surged instantly. Even the County Magistrate hadn’t treated him like this, and even the Magistrate had to walk in by himself, let alone a County Magistrate’s wife. The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back down, not for any other reason but because it was his day of great joy and he didn’t want to cause trouble for himself or his sister. Finally, he nodded, "How about we have the coachman drive the carriage to the back yard and enter through the second gate?"
"Hmph, it’s about time! It took a fart’s age. Why wasn’t this done earlier? I got scolded because of your delay," she rolled her eyes. Just as she turned to leave, she saw Feng Xi’s face turning iron blue by the carriage, which made her softened expression drop again, "Go away, don’t you realize how annoying you are standing there blocking the way? Seeing you is just bad luck."
The veins on Feng Xi’s forehead popped, his clenched fists relaxed then clenched again, and his chest heaved with rage. The coachman, seeing this, quickly turned the horse’s head in a different direction to avoid the groom, and obediently headed towards the back yard of the estate, fearing a conflict might arise.
Feng Xi closed his eyes, comforting himself by thinking he had just run into a mad dog. He stood quietly for a moment, then his face regained its smile.
"Hahaha, I wish Feng Xi, my younger friend, a harmonious and everlasting union," Xu Ke said, looking at the crowd in front of him. He deliberately slowed down, waiting for most people to pass by before he approached.
Feng Xi was overjoyed to see that it was Xu Ke and stepped forward, patting his shoulder, "Brother Xu, I thought you couldn’t make it back from the Capital City in time. I didn’t expect... ," Feng Xi said, choking up a bit.
"Hehehe, it’s my little brother’s wedding day, how could I, as his elder brother, not come back? Otherwise, how could I face you in the future?" Xu Ke half-joked, half-seriously.
"I’ll keep Brother Xu’s words in my heart. Please, this way," Feng Xi said with a laugh as he walked with Xu Ke into the estate.
Not long after Feng Xi entered the estate, Cao Kun, the County Magistrate’s carriage, also hurriedly arrived. The carriage stopped outside the estate, and Cao Kun got out, shaking his legs.
"My lord, are you sure you can do this?" Jia Yi was worried about his master, as last night the master had suffered from diarrhea all night. He had just taken medicine, which had finally stopped it, rested for a while, and seeing that time was running out, they came in a hurry.
