Bai Weiyang took off the phoenix headgear that could crush her head and walked around. She even opened the window and secretly sized up the Military Governor’s residence at dusk.

The Military Governor’s Manor was a typical Chinese Suzhou-style building!

White walls and dark gray tiles, a brick-carved gatehouse. The ridges were high, and the walls were winding and hidden. There were two large ponds connecting the front and back courtyards with overlapping stone scenes and houses among the flowing streams!

There were balconies, brick-carved gatehouses, and street buildings. There were white walls and gray tiles everywhere. They were row upon row, light, simple, and elegant. Bai Weiyang immediately felt a little emotional when she saw this. This was a typical Suzhou-style building!

Moreover, the window in the room she was in was a typical Mingwa window!

The windows were covered with paper before glass, an imported product, came into China during the Qing Dynasty. Only a few rich people would use a substitute for glass—Mingwa. Mingwa were not tiles. Mingwa were square sheets polished from clam shells with four rounded corners. A large amount of plate glass emerged In the late Qing Dynasty and it caused the end of Mingwa.

The Mingwa were made of clam shells after all. The transparency and light intensity could not be compared to glass. However, when the sun was shining brightly outside, only a faint sunlight shone through the bright tiles on the wooden lattice window in the closed room, giving people the feeling of sunset.

The concept was very beautiful.

It was quite similar to the saying, “Looking at the sky through the clam shells windows, the clouds and moon seemed beautiful and vague.”

Bai Weiyang crossed her legs and sat on a rosewood with a marble inlaid chair. She began to eat the fruit pastries on the table and sniffed the wine in the wine pot.

It was actually a top-notch Hua Tiao liquor!

She couldn’t help craving it, so she drank it.

She drank until she was slightly tipsy. Then, she lay down on the wedding bed and fell asleep. She did not take this wedding seriously at all.

Feng Songjie sat at his good friend Gu Changfeng’s house, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Gu Changfeng was Feng Songjie’s good friend when he was studying in Germany. Gu Changfeng was not interested in military affairs and studied modern medicine!

At this moment, he was holding a scalpel in his hand… and cutting steak!

Without looking up, he looked at the handsome man who was leaning against his sofa and reeking of alcohol. “Feng Songjie, aren’t you going back?”

Holding a bottle of top-notch vodka in his hand, he asked as he drank,

“What for?”

“…The wedding.”

Gu Changfeng’s mouth twitched!

He even asked him why he was going back. Was he so drunk that he couldn’t think clearly?

“Does it concern me?”

The man lying on the sofa turned around in a daze. His eyes, which had always been noble and arrogant, were filled with anger and unwillingness. “The Qing Dynasty was already over! My parents sent all of us to study overseas, but yet they still arranged a marriage for me. Even if the other party is a fool! They still want me to fulfill the agreement! They only care about their own face. Who has ever considered for me!”

Gu Changfeng pondered for two seconds and murmured, “I understand.”

Feng Songjie said angrily, “What do you know!”

“…”

Gu Changfeng pursed his lips. He was too lazy to explain to a drunkard.

He could only change the topic.

“The political situation is unstable! Now that the warlords are divided, you actually don’t have to focus on romantic love!”

Feng Songjie sneered.

Looking at the ceiling, his blade-like eyes suddenly narrowed.

Swinging the wine bottle in his hand, he suddenly thought of something!

Last month, Feng Songjie remembered that he had intentionally gotten drunk in Jin City because they had mentioned this betrothal. Then, he seemed to have done something with someone on the train, but… he couldn’t remember!

His memories were so blurry that everything felt like a dream, but he was awake now. He knew that he had indeed… slept with a woman!

Damn it!
