Chapter 3 — Bowl of Noodles on the Wedding Night

Ky Hoan leaned over to give way, I did not move. Ky Duc walked a few steps and turned to look at me, as if he thought I would be upset. But I just bowed my head and looked at my sleeve. Ky Hoan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is it cold?" I shook my head. He didn't ask anymore, just moved half a step to the side, blocking the wind blowing from the hallway for me. In the main courtyard, people come and go. No one has time to pay attention to us. After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Ky came out. She looked tired, just waved her hand at me and Ky Hoan. "No more tea today. Nhu Nhi's body is more important, let's move to another day." A Uy standing behind was so angry that he wanted to speak up. We keep her. Ky Hoan opened his mouth again: "Mother, the ceremony can change the date, but the tea cannot stay cold forever." Lady Ky frowned: "What do you mean?" Ky Hoan bowed her head, her tone respectful. "Today, I have come to the main courtyard. If there is no elder to accept the tea, outsiders will inevitably say that the Marquis despises the Ngu family." Lady Ky's face darkened. Ky Duc came out from the interior and frowned when he heard this. "A Hoan, Nhu Nhi is sick, why do you have to worry at this time?" Ky Hoan looked at him: "Brother, the sick person is the wife of the prince, not the mother." These words are not heavy. But everyone in the main court was quiet. Finally, Mrs. Ky sat back in her chair. I brought the tea forward. She accepted it very quickly and rewarded me with a pair of jade bracelets. Not precious. But the ceremony was completed. When leaving the main courtyard, A Uy's eyes lit up. "You were so awesome just now." Ky Hoan's expression was calm: "It's just the rules." I looked at him: "Thank you." He bowed his head and looked at me. "If you don't want to drink tea today, I won't say anything. I saw you still standing there, so I thought you wanted to complete the ceremony." The bitterness in my heart gradually disappeared. Turns out he didn't make the decision for me. He's watching to see what we want. In the afternoon, Ngu Nhu sent someone to deliver a plate of cinnamon flower cakes. She said she couldn't have tea with me this morning, feeling extremely guilty. I look at that breakfast plate. In her previous life, she often gave me things. Every time she was favored by Ky Duc, she turned around and brought some things to compensate. I told A Uy to take it. Ky Hoan took a look: "Does she like it?" I shook my head: "She likes it." Ky Hoan immediately told A Uy to take it away. "Then share it with the people in the yard." I looked at him. He was cleaning an old sword, his expression normal. "If you don't like it, don't put it in front of you." Such a simple sentence. But it took me many years to understand.06Ky Hoan was not respected in the Marquis' Palace. During the family banquet on the third day after getting married, I saw it very clearly. Ky Marquis asked Ky Duc what books he had read recently, and asked who he had associated with in the Lai Department. Also asked if Ngu Nhu's body was better. When it was Ky Hoan's turn, he just calmly said one sentence. "That job in the army, if you don't want to go then refuse." Mrs. Ky immediately frowned: "What does he have that he wants or doesn't want? Even if he goes, he will only suffer." Ky Hoan put down his chopsticks: "I want to go." The table was silent for a moment. Ky Duc looked at him: "The border camp is cold and miserable. Since I was a child, I have never suffered that kind of suffering, so why do I have to rely on strength?" In his previous life, after the Ky family failed, Ky Duc also said similar words. When he was escorted out of the capital, he had been gone for less than half a day before he began to have a fever. At that time, he leaned against the wall of the abandoned temple, looking extremely miserable. He said he had never suffered like that. But Ky Hoan was able to survive at the border. A person who was never respected by his family, but on the contrary endured better than all of them. Finally, Marquis Ky looked at Ky Hoan. "If you really want to go, then go." Mrs. Ky disagreed: "Master." Marquis Ky waved.

Hand: “Let him try.” That tone was not permissive. But it's like arbitrarily chasing away. Ngu Nhu said in a low voice: "If the second brother comes to the camp, won't A Giao have to defend himself alone?" These words were meant to be teasing. But Ky Duc immediately looked towards me. I raised my head, just facing his eyes. There was some complexity in his eyes. Perhaps he remembered another path that no longer happened. I picked up a chopstick of green vegetables. "The husband has political matters, of course I won't stop him." Ky Hoan looked at me. His eyes were very light, but still stopped for a moment. Ky Duc's face turned pale. Ngu Nhu's smile also stiffened. She wanted to see me in trouble. But we are not at all awkward. After dinner, Ky Hoan took me back to the hospital. Halfway there, he opened his mouth: "About the border camp, I should discuss with you first." I looked at the stone steps at my feet: "Do you want to go?" "Do you want to?" "Then go." He stopped walking: "Don't you ask why?" I raised my head to look at him: "If you want to talk, of course you will." Ky Hoan lowered his head to look at me, not moving for a long time. The wind blew through the hallway, his sleeve gently brushed the back of my hand, and quickly moved away again. "There are some old people in the camp. I want to investigate something from the past." My heart fluttered.
