Chapter 2271 You're Pushing Your Bottoms

Xia Yan and Ying Xi, who were outside the door, exchanged a glance and looked at the sky without saying a word.

Good heavens, half an hour has passed since Xia Yan first reported the matter.

Meng Yunzheng took Shu Yu to the flower hall, where they had a simple breakfast. Then he had someone prepare some delicious food and move it to the bamboo grove.

There weren't many people at home. Meng Pei took his uncle's family with him, as well as Aunt Hong and Xiao Song Le.

Aside from a few servants who were always busy, there were only the two of them.

This was also Meng Pei's intention. A Yu had just become a daughter-in-law of the Meng family, and she was bound to have many things to adjust to. Although they were familiar with each other, he still gave her enough time and space to make her feel more at ease.

The bamboo grove on the south side of the courtyard was there originally, and the bamboo trees there are very tall.

When it was renovated before, everyone liked it and kept it.

Now it's a great place to cool off in the summer.

Shu Yu sat on the couch, and Ying Xi brought him a lot of food and tea. A cool breeze blew by, and Shu Yu sighed comfortably.

Amidst the rustling bamboo leaves, Meng Yunzheng suddenly thrust his sword upwards, his figure weaving through the bamboo forest, inexplicably gaining an air of otherworldly grace, free and unrestrained.

As Shu Yu watched, she stopped feeding him. A-Yun's sword dance was graceful and unrestrained, perfectly matching his refusal to serve as an official and his choice to become a leisurely teacher.

Now that he's married, achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination, and opened the academy he always wanted to open, this feeling is even stronger.

Shu Yu was inexplicably... somewhat engrossed in watching.

When Meng Yunzheng sheathed his sword and leaped to her side, her eyes were still somewhat dazed.

Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong, my wife?"

“…Not bad, you deserve a reward.”

Shu Yu snapped back to reality, clapped her hands sincerely, and asked in a serious tone, popping a peeled grape into his mouth, "Is it sweet?"

“Sweet.” Meng Yunzheng stared at her intently. “But isn’t this reward too small? I danced for half a day and I’m covered in sweat.”

Shu Yu took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. "How about this?"

"not enough."

Shu Yu poured him a cup of tea.

"It's still not enough."

Shu Yu: "You're pushing your luck."

"There's no way around it, my wife's first reward for me left a deep impression, and it's made my appetite grow bigger."

Shu Yu thought of the time when he passed the imperial examination with top honors, and she kissed him in her excitement.

Sure enough, men who have tasted the sweetness are terrifying; they'll never want to eat plain noodles again.

Shu Yu looked around and saw that there was no one else besides Ying Xi and Xia Yan.

The two of them were quite clever; as soon as Meng Yunzheng walked over, they turned around and looked at the sky and the ground, pretending to be very busy.

Shu Yu's lips twitched, and she planted a kiss on Meng Yunzheng's lips.

This time she reacted quickly, having learned her lesson. Before Meng Yunzheng could press down on the back of her head, she swiftly pulled away, got up, and walked out of the bamboo grove. "I'll go to the cellar to get some ice and make you something delicious."

After saying that, he called to Yingxi, "Let's go, help me prepare some things."

"Okay, Miss."

Meng Yunzheng watched the figures of the master and servant walk further and further away, chuckled softly, and sat on the couch to eat two grapes.

Shu Yu went to make fruit smoothies. She had nothing else to do and there was ice and fruit readily available at home.

She went to the kitchen and got grapes, watermelon, peaches, and mangoes. Some of these were gifts from yesterday's wedding, while others were purchased by the Meng family themselves. The quantity was quite large, especially the grapes, which came in huge bunches and looked very tempting.
