Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

According to custom, there is someone blocking the door before the groom enters.

Typically, it's the brothers, uncles, and nephews in the family who will test the groom's talent or martial arts skills at this time.

Although the general has a legitimate son, he is far away on the frontier. Most of the people blocking the gate today are his subordinates who have been brought back by the general.

The advantage of this is that these people are used to being straightforward and don't engage in any roundabout ways. They also have loud voices and are very energetic, and they want a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Most of the tasks test physical strength but not intelligence.

Several ladies opened the windows and looked at the scene outside.

"This child is quite clever, unlike those big, dumb bastards," the general's wife said suddenly after looking at him for a while.

“That’s right. If it’s really a contest of strength, who can beat those soldiers? It’s all about having a sharp mind,” another lady chimed in.

Xie Qingyu sat upright on the bed, her head covered by a veil, unable to look at what was happening outside.

All that could be heard were bursts of jeers from outside.

And from the discussions among the ladies, they speculated about what was happening outside.

This lively and festive scene seems to stir up a subtle sense of anticipation in people's hearts.

Xie Qingyu sat upright on the edge of the bed, only to hear the lively sounds getting closer and closer.

Finally, one of the ladies announced, "The groom has arrived."

In such a lively atmosphere, Xie Qingyu only felt that she was following orders, and she forgot when the jade ruyi was put into her hand.

All I remember is Qin Shenzhi saying as he approached, "I've come to take you home."

The journey from the general's mansion to the marquis's mansion wasn't far, but the sedan chair carrying the bride took almost half an hour to travel, circling half the city.

This was Qin Shenzhi's deliberate act.

This was also a rare moment for him to be so high-profile.

After circling the city, the sedan chair headed towards the Marquis's residence. If Xie Qingyu hadn't been in the sedan chair, she would have seen that the plaque above the gate no longer read "Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's Residence," but rather "Qin Residence."

Qin Shenzhi was quite popular, and most of the young men from the Imperial Guards came.

Because of his current popularity and his connection with the General's Mansion, many ministers from the court came, including Minister Xie.

He stood in the crowd, watching the two people who were getting married.

My vision blurred.

Those around him could see the dejection in his eyes and were about to say something about why he looked so downcast on the occasion of Lord Qin's wedding.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that his eldest daughter was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion.

The man glanced at Minister Xie's expression but remained silent.

No one knows what Minister Xie is thinking at this moment, or whether it is related to his daughter whom he has little contact with and who is even a little afraid of him.

All that is known is that Minister Xie sent an additional congratulatory gift, the amount of which was so large that even the person keeping the receipt dared not accept it.

Minister Xie told him to just accept it.

He stayed at the wedding banquet from beginning to end.

When Qin Shenzhi came to their table to offer a toast, he didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder and silently finished his drink.

"Congratulations, Lord Qin, may you have a long and happy marriage." Minister Xie's words of congratulations were no different from those of the others.

"Thank you very much, sir."

Qin Shenzhi showed no other emotions when facing him.

Now his father-in-law is not the person in front of him either.

Xie Qingyu knew nothing about what had happened in the front yard.

She is eating in the bridal chamber right now.

Qin Shenzhi had indeed prepared the food well in advance.

Several plates were laid out on the table, all containing delicate and small dishes, each one a bite without smudging your lipstick.

Xie Qingyu hadn't eaten anything all day at the General's Mansion, following the rules, but this preparation had really touched her heart.

The matchmaker must have been instructed to do so, as she left after sending Xie Qingyu into the bridal chamber under some pretext.

Hongdou watched from the doorway as Xie Qingyu removed her veil and relaxed to eat.

The lively sounds from the front yard carried all the way to the back yard, and everyone in the mansion was beaming with joy.

The house Xie Qingyu is in now must have been renovated; it's completely different from before. The layout of this Marquis's mansion must have been altered by Qin Shenzhi.

The courtyards so close to the front yard were not previously inhabited by women of the household.

But it's different now.

This was Qin Shenzhi's own idea.

There will be no one else in this mansion from now on, and he is unwilling to live in a separate courtyard with Xie Qingyu as is customary in wealthy families.

It would be better if we lived together.

That's how this courtyard came to be.

When the sounds outside began, Xie Qingyu had already covered her face with a veil and was sitting upright on the edge of the bed.

The food has already been taken away by Tingling.

The matchmaker arrived first, followed by Qin Shenzhi.

As is customary, Xie Qingyu should be accompanied by her aunt when she is in the house.

Firstly, Qin Shenzhi had almost no contact with the other side, and secondly, they had met Xie Qingyu before, so Qin Shenzhi naturally wouldn't let them come.

So the new house feels a bit deserted.

Fortunately, neither of them cared about it.

Especially when Qin Shenzhi came over, he was followed by some Jinwu Guards.

These people who usually look serious are all spoiled brats when they take off their clothes.

I love these rare occasions where I can cheer and make a fuss.

The voices of several people filled almost the entire room, all teasing Qin Shenzhi.

The noise subsided a little when the matchmaker came over with her carrying pole, but it was still a lively scene.

Qin Shenzhi did not reach for the lifting pole, but instead pinched the edge of the veil with both hands, took a deep breath almost imperceptibly, and slowly lifted the veil covering Xie Qingyu's head.

The room fell silent instantly.

Someone in the crowd gasped twice.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Someone shouted first, and then the whole house was filled with the sound of "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xie Qingyu blushed with laughter amidst these voices.

Seeing Xie Qingyu's shyness, Qin Shenzhi began to coax her, "Alright, we've seen the person, let's go, let's go."

"They think we're in their way."

"We haven't even drunk the nuptial wine yet, we're not leaving."

"Exactly, exactly, they don't want us to see it."

Qin Shenzhi listened to their commotion without saying a word, but simply took the wine that the matchmaker brought and handed it to Xie Qingyu.

The cheers grew louder the moment their arms met, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two drank the nuptial wine.

Perhaps it was the perfect atmosphere, the handsome man and beautiful woman, that made these people feel somewhat superfluous, but no one wanted to leave.

"Alright, let's go." Qin Shenzhi put down his wine glass and started to coax them, not giving them a chance to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber.

Fortunately, these people were sensible.

There was no one else in the mansion, and it wouldn't be good for the group of men to stay there for too long. Although they said they wouldn't leave, they were all taking steps towards the outside.

Once everyone had left, Tingling and Hongdou followed them out, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Qin Shenzhi stared intently at Xie Qingyu, making one's heart pound with unease.

Xie Qingyu looked up at him, and he immediately reached out and cupped her face in his hands.
