Chapter 109 Wedding 1◇

Emperor Chengqian had set the wedding date for Zhou Yu and Zhu Xi for February 12th of the following year. Counting from the date of the decree, the divorce period was only five months and three days away. This made Zhou Yu's mother, Zheng, extremely anxious...

Three days ago, their family had just moved into the mansion newly granted to them by Emperor Chengqian. This newly granted mansion was excellent in every way. After all, Prime Minister Wang had been in the cabinet for over ten years. Apart from his personal qualities, his literary talent and aesthetic taste were quite high. Therefore, the family's courtyard and garden were both beautifully renovated...

But after the mansion was raided by Emperor Cheng Qian, all the items and furniture in the house were confiscated, leaving only empty rooms. The flowers, plants and trees in the garden were also destroyed beyond recognition, and everything needed to be reorganized.

Plus, Zhou Yu's dowry hadn't been prepared yet, so Zheng had been incredibly anxious these past few days, with blisters forming on the corners of her mouth...

Seeing her mother so anxious, Zhou Yu wanted to help, but she was pushed back into the house and given a pile of needlework and fabric. She said that even if she could find someone else to sew her wedding dress, she should at least make the embroidered shoes and socks she would present to the elders the day after the wedding! Otherwise, she would be embarrassed if others pointed it out!

Zheng was also worried about the fact that Zhou Yu couldn't do needlework. Nowadays, the wealthy families were very particular about these things. If the sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law did needlework together, and Zhou Yu couldn't do it, she would be laughed at!

But she didn't know what was wrong with this girl. She obviously loved doing these chores when she was a child, but she hadn't done them at all in recent years. But now, at this time, Zheng felt that even if she had to, she had to force Zhou Yu to make two pairs of shoes by hand!

Her daughter, Ayu, married into the royal family, and her grandfather was the current emperor. She couldn't possibly ask someone else to make shoes for him, right? Wouldn't that be deceiving the emperor?

Therefore, Zheng locked Zhou Yu in the house and ordered her not to leave the house until she made half a shoe today!

Alas! Zheng sighed as she left Zhou Yu's room, thinking to herself:

Fortunately, Ayu married into the palace and had special palace maids to serve her. She didn't have to bring her own maids or servants. Otherwise, with her family background, where would she find those long-time servants?

She had heard from her uncle Zelin that the servants of wealthy families were trained for more than ten years or even decades, and even if you had money you might not be able to buy them!

…

After Zheng left, Zhou Yu looked at the cloth and needle and thread her mother had stuffed into her hands, and she became anxious and angry!

How could she sew this?! She could sew human skin, but shoes?! How could she do that?! Even if the original body still had some memories in its head, what if her hands weren't controlled by those memories?!

Looking at the thread corner that she had sewn into a worm-like shape, Zhou Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. She was not afraid of being embarrassed, but she was afraid that her mother would be anxious when she saw it!

"Don't worry, big sister. I've learned how to make these shoes and socks. I'll help you make them. As long as you don't tell anyone, and I don't tell anyone, no one will know except my mother."

At this moment, little Zhou Ying appeared like a little angel and rescued Zhou Yu from his distress.

When Zheng came back after a while, Zhou Ying had already finished sewing the upper of half a shoe presented to Emperor Cheng Qian...

Zheng...

"Uh! Mom! I just want Aying to teach me, hehe..."

Under her mother's stern gaze, Zhou Yu quickly dropped the dried fruit in his hand and took over the work from Zhou Ying...

"You, you!" Zheng couldn't help but scratch her eldest daughter's forehead with a finger, saying worriedly, "You were more dexterous than Aying when you were little, how come you've become so clumsy now?"

"Mother, my elder sister wants to learn medicine and practice archery at the same time. As the saying goes, you can't do two things at once, but my elder sister has already done two things at once, and she's so good at both. How much more do you expect her to know?!"

Zhou Ying, who was standing by, hurriedly came to her elder sister's rescue with a smile.

"Besides, everything my elder sister knows is very useful. Let me, her younger sister, help with these little things!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but pull her little sister into his arms and kiss her twice. Oh! Who wouldn't love such a soft and cute little sweetheart! !

"Okay, okay, do whatever you want, I can't control it anymore."

Seeing the two sisters being so affectionate, Zheng was both pleased and helpless. She thought, forget it, even if she forced her eldest daughter to do it, she wouldn't be able to do it well. Since her younger daughter is willing to help, then let her help!

Therefore, he ignored the two sisters and continued to go out and do his own thing.

Zheng originally thought that no matter how busy she was, it would only be this much. How much busier could she be?!

But unexpectedly, when his eldest son saw that his sister was getting married, he said that as a brother, he couldn't let his sister be left behind. He actually brought ten jars of fine wine and asked the Duke of Zhenguo to help him go to the Pingxi Marquis Mansion and ask for marriage from Lord Mu...

What Cheng Shi didn't expect was that Pingxi Hou actually agreed, and even agreed to his son's request to get married on the second day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year...

Zheng...

Even if she was busy, she was happy about her son's marriage. But when did her son fall in love with General Mu? How come he didn't know anything about it!!!

…

On the second day after the Hu Xiang Group was destroyed, Zhou Jin went to find Mu Qingni with two kilograms of fresh lamb chops. While fulfilling their promise of grape wine, he also explained to her the matter of their space!

I didn't choose any other place, so I chose their space...

Zhou Jin first used the stove in his space to fry the lamb chops he had brought. After simply sprinkling them with salt and pepper, he placed them on a plate and placed it on the table in front of Mu Qingni. He then found two glasses, took out his treasured dry red wine, and poured a glass for him and Mu Qingni...

Then he sat opposite Mu Qingni, pointed at the plate of lamb chops and said to her with a smile:

"This grilled lamb chop is one of the few dishes I know how to make. It goes best with this wine. Would you like to try it?"

Mu Qingni had been watching Zhou Jin silently since she entered the space. When she saw him talking, she pointed at the arrow she had placed on the floor of the space and asked:

"Who are you and Ayu? How can you suddenly change the space and have such excellent arrows?!"

He found this arrow from Hu Yi's head. It was obviously not something they could make here. As far as she knew, the surrounding countries did not have such capabilities!

In order to prevent someone from finding out and using this to make a fuss to harm Zhou Yu, Mu Qingni secretly pulled out the arrow and hid it. When Zhou Jin went to see her today, she brought it with her.

"Also, the dagger you asked Ayu to give me wasn't made by someone else, was it? It should be one of your own, right?!"

Mu Qingni also took out the dagger Zhu Xi had given her and placed it on the table. She looked calm, but she was actually very nervous. She had a feeling that Zhou Jin in front of her was not just a person with supernatural powers as Zhu Xi had told her. It felt like he and she were not from the same universe...

"Qing Ni, can I tell you a story?"

Zhou Jin noticed the tension beneath Mu Qingni's serious expression, reached out and held Mu Qingni's hand that was pressing on the dagger, and spoke in a gentle voice.

The woman's palm, held in his, was slightly calloused and sweaty. Zhou Jin had taken the opportunity to hold Mu Qingni's hand several times before, and her palm had always been slightly cool and dry. Was she nervous because she was sweating like this? Zhou Jin wondered...

There aren't many things that can make General Mu nervous, so she actually... must care about him, right?!

"Okay." Mu Qingni did not pull out her hand, but simply nodded in response.

So Zhou Jin started to talk slowly...

They talked about their past lives, the end of the world, and how they were forced to commit suicide by zombies, and how they traveled through time and space to come here... They told Mu Qingni everything they had experienced...

really…

After hearing this, Mu Qingni thought to herself, her intuition had indeed come true!

No wonder he's so powerful. In just a few years, he went from being an unknown criminal to being the commander-in-chief...

It turns out that they had experienced such a terrible world full of monsters!

"Then do you really like your past life? The place where you could light a fire, had such sophisticated weapons, such delicious wine, and such soft seats?!"

Mu Qingni pointed at the stove where Zhou Jin had just cooked, the wall of the RV where Zhou Jin had removed the TV and hung weapons on it, the red wine on the table, and the sofa where she was leaning, and asked nervously.

His previous life was so good, so if he had the chance, would he go back? Mu Qingni couldn't help but think.

“I like it!”

Zhou Jin nodded and said honestly:

"In our world, there's no so-called imperial supremacy. Everyone is equal and free. Even if you kill someone, you'll only be punished yourself, and your family won't be harmed...

In that world, there are mobile phones, computers, airplanes, and high-speed trains. Even if two people are thousands of miles apart, they can still talk and chat at any time through their mobile phones and computers. They can also meet in just a few hours by plane or high-speed train..."

Zhou Jin proudly described to Mu Qingni the world he had experienced. The more he spoke, the colder Mu Qingni's palms became...

Zhou Jin felt the warmth of her palm, and quickly held her hand tightly, looking directly into her eyes and said:

"Qing Ni, that world is indeed wonderful, but the pace is too fast. Even with airplanes and high-speed trains, people can't spare the time to meet each other. Even with computers and mobile phones, people are unwilling to stop and chat with their best friends or loved ones!

Besides, in that world…there is no one…whom I love!

Zhou Jin looked at Mu Qingni and spoke word by word.

Mu Qingni...

He said that there is no one he loves in that world, so is the person he loves me?!

He is looking at me with eyes full of me...so the person he is talking about in love must be me!

"If you have the chance to go back in the future, will you stay here for me?!"

Mu Qingni also looked directly into Zhou Jin's eyes and asked.

Zhou Jin smiled with the corners of his mouth raised when he heard this.

"I'm willing! If one day I really have the chance to go back, if I can't take you with me, then I'd rather stay here!"

"Okay! Then I'll believe you this time," Mu Qingni also smiled, and then raised her head slightly and said, "However, it doesn't matter if you can't fulfill your promise. Although I will be very sad, I chose the path myself, and I can bear any outcome!"

"Haha! You are worthy of it!" Zhou Jin laughed out loud with joy after hearing this. His Qingni is always so confident and outspoken, and is never afraid to face her own heart.

"Then, Qingni! Can I be sure now that you actually like me too, right!?"

Zhou Jin asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I like you too!"

Mu Qingni nodded in affirmation.

"I fell in love with you when I was in Fuzhou City. When did you fall in love with me?

"I don't know, maybe when you wished me a happy birthday?

Maybe you told me that you should try your best to live and wait for me to come back? ...”

Mu Qingni thought and said:

"Yes! It should be when you told me that you wanted to live hard!

You know what?! Whenever I feel like I can’t hold on any longer, your words will ring in my ears...

It allowed me to persevere again and again...
