Chapter 41(1/2)

Early in the morning, Madam Jiang personally stared at the little maids and moved the return gifts prepared by the Zhao family to the carriage. The whole car was full.

In the hall, Ning Shi was softly reminding Aji: "Say hello to your parents for me and ask your mother to take Azhu Xiaojiu over for more when you have time. Also, this time, you and Chengyuan will stay at home for a few more days. I have also been a new wife. I know that I miss home after just getting married. There are not so many rules in our family. You must stay for a few more days. I won't open the door for you when I come back too early!"

Aji looked at Zhao Chen sitting beside him. Although she was grateful to Ning for treating her wholeheartedly, she still said, "Don't persuade her anymore. We agreed to stay at home for two nights and come back the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will bring Azhu Xiaojiu here to stay for a few days to talk to you." She missed home, but once she got married, she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. She couldn't rely on her mother-in-law to be generous and stayed at home and didn't come back. Secondly, Ning was left here alone, which made her unable to bear it.

"Okay, this is better. Azhu is a coincidence. I miss her for a long time." Ning stood up with a smile, holding Aji's hand and walked out: "Don't delay, you can set off quickly. Your parents must have been looking forward to it. Go back happily and let them know that Chengyuan and I have not treated you badly."

Aji blushed and arrived outside the door. Before being helped by Zhao Chen onto the carriage, she couldn't help but turn back to Ning and said, "Mom is at home and takes good care of herself, and we will be back soon."

Ning nodded with a smile and waved his hand to his son who wanted to say something else. Zhao Chen smiled and followed Aji into the carriage.

The couple walked in front, Chen Ping rushed the car, and Cuiyu sat in the carriage behind, helping to watch the carriage of gifts.

The carriage swayed out of Tongwan Village.

Zhao Chen rolled up the curtains of the car and hugged Aju and looked outside together.

In late October, the leaves of poplar trees on both sides of the road had already fallen, and the wheat seedlings in the fields were so green that it made people's eyes shine. However, occasionally a gust of wind blew, rolling up a layer of yellow sand, reminding people that the cold winter was getting closer.

"Is it cold?" A wind poured in outside. Zhao Chen asked with Aji's collar and pressed against her face.

Although he was only making trouble for her like his head one night last night, the two of them were so close. Aji was already a little used to it. He still blushed, but no longer pushed him in vain. He blinked his beautiful eyes and looked at the blue sky in the distance, and whispered: "It's not cold, what's this wind? It's going to be strong in another month, and his face froze when he goes out." Besides, she still felt hot when she was hugged by him like this.

Zhao Chen kissed her, as if muttering to himself: "The winter in Beijing is colder than here."

When Aji heard this, she turned her head to look at him, and met his bright phoenix eyes. She didn't dare to look at him anymore. She continued to ask outside the window: "Have you been to the capital?"

Zhao Chen smiled that she could not look at herself calmly and held her hand and said, "You forgot that our family is in the capital. I lived there before I was nine years old. The prosperous capital is beyond Dengzhou. You may meet high-ranking officials of the court when you go out, and there are also business travelers from all over the country. Does Aju want to go and see it?"

"Do you mean going back to your home in the capital, or just going to see the fun?" Aji thought for a while and asked this. His father said that Zhao Chen did not plan to go back to his ancestral home and lived with a group of people, and Aji didn't want to go. In her opinion, there is no woman in the world who is more beautiful and better than Ning's family. How could his father-in-law let her down so much?

"Go back and watch the fun." Zhao Chen said absent-mindedly.

Aji still shook her head: "Mom definitely won't go. Just forget it if you go out to do business normally, I'd better stay at home and spend more time with my mother."

Zhao Chen paused and hugged the person tighter, "Aji is so nice, no wonder my mother likes you so much, she treats you better than me."

The two of them said casually, when the sun was on the treetops, the carriage arrived at the village head. Zhao Chen lowered the curtains, afraid that she would think too much, so he held her face to find her lips. Aji reached out to block his face and whispered: "I'll get home soon, don't do this."

"But if you don't kiss now, you can't kiss these two days. Let's talk about it later. When you meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you don't look like a new wife at all. What should I do if my mother-in-law suspects that we don't have a bridal chamber? Aji is obedient, so I kiss you." After saying that, he held her face and kissed her deeply. Until the carriage turned around, Lin Chongjiu's cheerful shout came in, and Zhao Chen finally smelled Aji's delicious lips, let go of her, and tidied up the lapels for the two of them.

After the carriage stopped, Zhao Chen jumped down first. The four members of the Lin family and Zhou Pei and his family of three were waiting outside. Zhao Chen nodded with a smile and turned to help Aji.

Aji pretended to be calm, but her face was full of blushing and bright beauty. Children didn't understand it, and adults could guess more or less.

Lin Xian glared at his son-in-law secretly, saying that he just likes his daughter to make trouble at home, but when he comes to his father-in-law's house, he dares to be dishonest.

Both Liu and Xiao Liu were smiling. When they saw Aji like this, they knew that the silly girl had been stolen by her husband.

Everyone greeted him briefly at the door and moved inside to speak.

Of course, the man went to the room. The little Liu family, Lin Zhu, surrounded Aji, went to the west wing, preparing to say something whisper. Lin Chongjiu missed the elder sister, followed the four of them, and Zhou Lansheng followed him. Liu originally wanted to talk to his daughter in private first, but when he looked at the happy second daughter and the younger son, he knew that they were all looking forward to the elder sister's return home, he temporarily suppressed his excitement and sat aside with Xiao Liu to watch the three sisters and sisters get close to each other.

Cuiyu moved all the gifts here, and Aji took out the ones given to her younger brother and sister first. Lin Zhu got a pair of red jade earrings and liked them so much that she immediately put them on, "Sister, are you choosing or prepared by your brother-in-law? Humph, I guess it must be given to you by your brother-in-law. You have never been very concerned about these things. Fortunately, my brother-in-law has a good vision."

Liu glared at her: "You have so much to say to you for something, so Aju doesn't need to prepare anything for her in the future."

Lin Zhu curled her lips, suddenly hugged Aji's arm, leaned against her shoulder and asked, "How many days will my eldest sister stay here this time? This time I said I would sleep with you no matter what. Last time my mother and aunt drove me away, Xiaojiu and I were sad for a night."

Lin Chongjiu immediately hugged the other side of his elder sister: "I want to sleep in the same room with my elder sister, too!"

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you three sisters sleep in the same room, and you will talk to you all night. Well, do you want to stay and sleep in the same room with your aunt tonight?" She was obviously teasing her son on purpose.

Zhou Lansheng stood on the side like a green bamboo and said to Aji: "It's enough to talk to his second aunt and Xiaojiu. I'd better talk to him more during the day. It's better to rest early tonight." After the New Year, he will be eleven years old and is no longer a child.

Aji smiled and called him to his side, so naturally there were gifts.

After the children finished speaking, Liu was impatient to drive Lin Zhu and the three children out. After closing the door, he sat next to Aji and took her hands up and down to look carefully, then looked at Xiao Liu: "I look like I'm a little fat, what do you think?"

Xiao Liu pinched Aji's red face and joked: "It's not just a roundness, but also a good complexion. Chengyuan is really good at coaxing people. We Aji didn't like him very much before we got married. We fell in love with him after two days at his house. Didn't it? Aji told his aunt, how did Chengyuan coax you?"

"Auntie!" Aji really couldn't stand such straightforward jokes, and buried them in Liu's arms and refused to see anyone.

Little Liu laughed, Liu hugged her daughter, and sighed infinitely: "Okay, let's stop teasing her. Aju, just tell your mother, is Chengyuan good to you?"

Aji nodded, knowing what her mother was worried about, so she sat upright and lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, mom, he treats me very well, mother-in-law treats me well, and Madam Jiang helps me, I won't have any trouble there. When I came back this time, my mother-in-law told me to stay for a few more days before going back. I thought she was lonely at home alone, so I discussed with him that she would only stay for two nights and leave. If you have time in the future, we would come to see you, or you would go to the farm to sit. My mother-in-law really hopes you will go there."

Liu nodded with relief: "Yes, that's what it should be. People are good to us, and we have to do our duty as a daughter-in-law, so that life can last for a long time. Aji, you have been sensible since childhood. My mother is not worried about this, but she is afraid of you... Okay, now you are in love with Chengyuan, and I have nothing to worry about anymore."

Aji looked at her mother and couldn't help but hug her again: "Sometimes I still miss home..."

Liu smiled and patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Silly girl, she was like this when she first got married. Have a baby soon. When you become a mother, you will have no time to miss home."

Aji's face turned hot, and Xiao Liu looked at it and came over and asked, "How about it, you guys... ah, Aji, you have to persuade Chengyuan to be a little bit more. You should not follow your temperament when you are young." In broad daylight, she felt embarrassed to say too much.

Aji has not had sex with Zhao Chen yet, but the two of them are always scrupulous in the evening, especially when they have worked for him twice at night. They think that they are even more embarrassed than doing it. In addition, she seems to be worried that Zhao Chen will only care about her and ignore her. In fact, Zhao Chen is so considerate to her. Thinking of this, she is shy and happy. What else can she worry about when she falls into the eyes of the two elders?

The three of them talked for a while and it was time to prepare lunch. Aji insisted on helping. Liu also wanted to wait for her daughter more, so she agreed, but only asked her to wash vegetables and not allow her to do anything else. Cuiyu wanted to help, but Aji didn't let her go. She was a young grandmother in the Zhao family. When she returned here, she was a farm child. There was really a maid wandering around at home. She was uncomfortable and her mother was also uncomfortable. Just like when her aunt came over, she didn't use the maid.

After boiling hot water in the pot, Aji added some cold water to the basin, and squatted under the eaves of the east wing room to wash vegetables. Lin Zhu came to help her obediently, Lin Chongjiu and Zhou Lansheng also moved a small stool and sat aside to talk to his two sisters.

When Zhao Chen came out of the upper room, he saw his wife sitting in front of the three children, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, very gentle.

When they have children, she will definitely be a gentle mother, right?

He walked over with a smile.

Lin Zhu had no sense of awe of Zhao Chen. When he saw him coming and shouting to his brother-in-law, he blinked at the elder sister, playful and cute. Lin Chongjiu, he was more familiar with Zhao Chen, and moved to the side with a smile, asking his brother-in-law to sit on a bench with him. Zhou Lansheng originally thought of greetings, but when he saw them like this, he sat steadily and did not move. His eyes looked at Zhao Chen and Aju, but he had seen Zhao Chen's face as cold as Shuang. Now he is so gentle and humble, it must be because of his aunt. If he didn't really like it, how could he be so "condescending to nobles?"

Zhao Chen did not squeeze a bench with Lin Chongjiu, but instead squatted beside Aji with his legs bent, and his slender fingers penetrated into the water. He determined that it was warm water. He was a little relieved, but he still asked in a low voice: "Why didn't Cuiyu do it?"

Aji's face turned hot, she looked down at the water, and first pulled his hand out, saying, "I like to do it myself, why did you come out?"

Before Zhao Chen could speak, Lin Zhu couldn't stand it anymore. He bent down and moved the basin aside. He said to Zhao Chen as if he was asking for credit: "I have washed all the rest, and I will never bother my elder sister to do it again. Now my brother-in-law is satisfied? I feel sorry for washing dishes. If you see my elder sister help me wash clothes before, would you scold me in your heart?"

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, grabbed his wife who wanted to run away, and said to Lin Zhu: "I won't scold you, but it's better for the girl's family to be like your elder sister. Azhu learns more from your elder sister in the future, and in the future, my brother-in-law will find you a son-in-law to ride on the dragon."

Lin Chongjiu laughed, Lin Zhu glared at his younger brother, not shy at all, and hummed while washing vegetables hard: "Brother-in-law likes such a eldest sister, which does not mean that every man likes gentle and diligent girls. You don't need to help me find them. I will meet better than my brother-in-law!"

"Shut up. It's thirteen next year, and I'm still talking without any restraint. I don't mind your brother-in-law making jokes." Liu heard the words of the few people clearly and couldn't help but scold Lin Zhu. As soon as her voice sounded, Zhao Chen immediately flashed to Aji's side and used himself to block the hands the two of them holding each other. Aji didn't dare to see anyone at all, but he couldn't break free from him.

Lin Zhu drove the people disgusted: "Sister, take your brother-in-law to see Youyou. You are gone. Youyou didn't have a good meal on the first day, and you still know how to miss you."

Zhao Chen immediately took Aji and deliberately stood outside the fence on the south side to look at it, so that no one in the yard could see what their hands were doing. Aji was angry with him and didn't want to pay attention to him. Zhao Chen didn't beg her. He took out a handkerchief and wiped both hands quietly for her, "Okay, go back to the house first and apply hand cream, and come out to see later, don't freeze."

He was so considerate that Aji had long disappeared. He looked at him and went to the west wing with his urgency.

Zhao Chen then walked to the fence gate, called Lin Chongjiu and Zhou Lansheng over, and the three of them watched the deer together.

When Aji came back, Lin Chongjiu asked Zhao Chen worriedly: "Brother-in-law, after the autumn begins, the color of Youyou and the doe changes. We thought they were sick, so we invited Uncle Sun, who was treating the cows and horses in the town to come and see him. He said they were fine, so why did the color change? The white spots on their bodies are lighter, which is not as good as before."

Aji was also worried, so she walked to Zhao Chen and wanted to hear what he said.

This... Zhao Chen touched Lin Chongjiu's head and said, "Brother-in-law can't explain it clearly. He knew that they changed color in autumn and winter, and they will change back when the spring warms up. If you are not sick, don't worry."

Aji breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Youyou coming towards this side, she reached in. Youyou immediately raised her head and licked her palms. It was itchy. Aji couldn't help laughing. She couldn't bear it anymore and touched Youyou's head and licked it to play with it later.

Her hands were very small compared to Zhao Chen's. If she stretched alone, her fingers looked as thin as onions, tender and beautiful. Zhao Chen looked at Yoyo's big tongue, then looked at his wife's smile, and her throat moved. There was an idea that it grew wildly like a weed in her heart. If it weren't for the wrong time, I really wanted to pull her to give it a try now.

After a while of playing, it's time to have a meal.

They were all family members. Liu asked her husband to move both kang tables to the east room kang, and everyone had a fun together.

Liu's little Liu was busy cooking, and the sisters Aju helped to serve. After a while, the two tables were filled with steaming dishes, which was as lively as the New Year.

It was rare to get together once. Xiao Liu waited until dusk and followed Zhou Pei and his son. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Zhao Chen to take Aji to the town to see him. Zhao Chen smiled and replied that the Lin family had a relative and was a good person, so he was willing to deal with him.

After seeing off the guests, there were only his own family left at home, and there were even fewer rules and other things. They all sat on the warm kang and talked. After dinner, Liu led his two daughters to sleep in the west wing room, and he had countless words to say. Zhao Chen continued to sleep with his brother-in-law on the same kang. Lin Chongjiu also had a lot to say to his brother-in-law, saying that he had slept half an hour later than usual. When he fell asleep, Zhao Chen lay in the new quilt that his mother-in-law had specially dried for him, looking at his head in a daze, missing his wife's soft body. He had just been married for a few days, and suddenly he was not used to it.

The next day, Zhao Chen rode a horse and took Lin Chongjiu out to play, so as not to keep coming to Aji at home.

At night, Zhao Chen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He wished the sky was going to light up soon. When the two of them returned home, they could make a fuss in the carriage first. But Aji was the opposite of him. She slept with Lin Zhu these two nights. The two sisters lived together since childhood and suddenly separated. They were really reluctant to leave.

In a soft voice, his eyelids gradually closed and he fell asleep.

The next day, Zhao Chen was very calm. Lin Xian and his wife advised them to go back early. He smiled and said no rush. Until Aji really made up his mind to leave, he helped her to the carriage. He was about to go to the carriage behind to see if Lin Zhu and Lin Chongjiu were seated firmly. Lin Chongjiu suddenly jumped out of the carriage and said to him in a pleasing manner: "Brother-in-law, can I take a car with you? My second sister thinks I'm not honest and I don't want to sit with her."

The slightly loving smile that Zhao Chen often showed to his brother-in-law suddenly froze. Although the next moment he immediately regained his calmness and smiled: "Okay, Xiaojiu sits with me and let the two girls sit together." His father-in-law and mother-in-law were watching over there. If he refused, wouldn't his mind be too obvious?

Lin Chongjiu was very happy. Recently, my brother-in-law was busy getting married and didn't teach him how to kung fu.

In this way, Zhao Chen was unable to hold his wife and talked with his brother-in-law all the way.

When they arrived at Zhaojiazhuang, Aji's sisters talked to Ning. Zhao Chen continued to coax his brother-in-law. After finally getting over dinner, the couple arranged for Lin Zhu and his brother to go back to the house. The hot water was ready, and Zhao Chen and Aji took a shower separately because they only needed to wash their bodies and finished it in less than a quarter of an hour. Aji walked into the inner room wrapped in a thick coat and saw that Zhao Chen had already entered the quilt. He didn't respond when he heard her coming in, as if he was asleep.

Aji thought about it and said that Zhao Chen had been coaxing his younger brother for the past two days, riding horses and practicing martial arts. Maybe he was tired?

She turned off the lights, leaving only a dim little lamp barely illuminating them. She walked gently to the edge of the kang and placed the cold-proof fur clothes aside. The room was too cold, and she couldn't help but tremble and quickly climbed onto the kang. As soon as she lifted the quilt, the man next to her suddenly turned over and reached out to catch her in her arms.

The familiar domineering and chest were surprised and suddenly became chaotic breathing and heartbeat.

Aji supported the man's shoulders with both hands and asked him in a panic: "Are you still asleep?"

"How could you sleep if you haven't been hugged for two nights?" Zhao Chen kissed her eyebrows, "Do you miss me?"

Aji really didn't think about it, but even though she was ashamed to say that she missed him, she was not so stupid that she said she didn't think about it, so she had to say nothing.

Zhao Chen then agreed that she missed him, pulled up the quilt to cover both of them, and kissed her as she pleased.

He had already figured out the trick. Aji didn't last long and was confused. The hand against his shoulder slowly turned into a hugging his neck, immersing in intimacy that he had not had in the past two days. But soon, she found that Zhao Chen was a little different tonight. He held her neck with his left arm as before, but his right hand slowly went down from her face, passing by his neck, and tentatively continued down...

A place that has never been touched before made her nervous even when she got close. Aji quickly held his hand and pressed it on her shoulder to prevent him from moving again. Perhaps she was willing to do it in her heart, but she was too embarrassed...

During the stalemate, Zhao Chen raised his head. In the darkness, neither of them could see each other's breath. Zhao Chen's mind was fighting with heaven and man, but he was already murmured to her: "Aji will give it to me, just touch it." He had thought about it long ago, and he had thought about it from afar in the carriage that day.
To be continued...
