In her previous life, he went from a poor scholar to a powerful official who betrayed his country, bearing infamy throughout his life.
Only Jiang Zhiluo knew that he was upright and pure, mis...
Chapter 93 His Wife (Part 2)
Jiang Zhiluo looked up and saw someone holding an oil-paper umbrella slowly approaching from the rain and fog.
He is like an ink painting in the misty rain, quietly unfolding with an ethereal and ethereal aura.
The wind blew slowly in the rain, bringing with it a chilly whistling sound.
The wind lifted the corners of his clothes, and his sleeves fluttered, making his figure even more graceful.
When Jiang Zhiluo looked at him, it was as if she saw a sky full of apricot blossoms and spring rain.
Her eyes trembled and her breathing became slightly choked.
When Cui Hejin slowly approached and looked at Jiang Zhiluo, his picturesque and delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, and the corners of his eyes moved, with a charming and seductive look.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo was not wet by the rain and did not look uncomfortable, Cui Hejin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he greeted Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye politely.
Looking at the noble son-in-law in front of them, Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye were both dazed for a moment.
They were so stunned by the elegance of this man's every move that they were almost stunned.
"He Jin is here, come in quickly, it's raining outside."
"Did you get caught in the rain?"
"Just come, no need to bring anything."
"Zhiluo has come back with some things."
"Brother-in-law."
Jiang Zhiluo's brothers and sisters also happily called Cui Hejin.
Last time, my brother-in-law told them many stories and explained knowledge to them, and he was very gentle. They all liked him very much.
Cui Hejin spoke and greeted everyone calmly.
He was well-mannered from beginning to end.
Ye nodded secretly in his heart.
If the Cui family had not been convicted, such a person would indeed be a good match for Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo was worried about Cui Hejin's health and that he might catch a cold, so she poured him a cup of hot water and handed it to him, "Drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up first."
"Okay, thank you, ma'am."
When Jiang Zhiluo heard the word "wife", her fingers trembled slightly and she almost dropped the water cup.
Cui Hejin took it just in time, and their fingers accidentally touched. Jiang Zhiluo withdrew her hand quickly as if she had been electrocuted.
Madam?
He never called himself that.
Is it because she calls her that in front of her parents?
But it’s better this way. Her parents will think that Cui Hejin cares about her and that they have a good relationship. They will also feel more at ease about her life in her husband’s family.
Seeing how good the relationship between their son-in-law and daughter seemed, the Ye family smiled so much that their eyes became slits.
He quickly and warmly greeted Cui Hejin, asked him to sit down, and prepared to cook dinner.
Cui Hejin said softly, "Dad and Mom, you don't have to bother. I'll take my wife home and we'll just go home and have dinner."
Cui Hejin also knew that his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family conditions were not very good. If he prepared some meals to entertain him, it would probably bring a burden to them.
So Cui Hejin thought about taking Jiang Zhiluo home for dinner.
Jiang Zhiluo also hurriedly said, "Dad and Mom, while it's still light and the rain is a little lighter, let's go home first."
"If we delay and the rain gets heavier, it will be difficult to go back."
It might not affect anything if she goes home by herself.
But with Cui Hejin here, my parents, brothers and sisters will always feel a little restrained.
And my parents will definitely treat me to some delicious food, which will take a while.
Jiang Zhiluo also didn't want to make her parents so busy.
Her intention of returning to her parents' home was to see her parents, brothers and sisters, share happy things with them, and talk about building a house.
Now that everything is said and done, it's time to go back.
Otherwise, Mrs. Cui would also be worried and anxious.
Seeing that Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo insisted, Ye could only prepare some things for them and let them go back.
"It's not anything good, just some homemade pickles."
"These are some small fish that your second and fourth brothers caught in the river. I pickled them and dried them. You can eat them with your meals on weekdays."
Ye wanted to pack some noodles, rice and beans, but Jiang Zhiluo refused to take any.
Those are the food for the family, and my parents and younger brothers and sisters still need to eat.
However, Jiang Zhiluo knew that her parents would feel bad if she didn't take anything, so she took some pickled vegetables and dried fish.
…
When Cui Hejin was walking back with Jiang Zhiluo under an umbrella, Jiang Zhiluo tilted her head to look at him and said, "Are you feeling well?"
Jiang Zhiluo was worried that Cui Hejin would catch a cold.
Cui Hejin whispered, "It's okay, this little bit of wind and rain won't affect us."
Jiang Zhiluo hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Well, thank you for picking me up."
Although Xingshan Village is close to Donghe Village, it still takes more than half an hour to walk there, or an hour.
What's more, the road was muddy and full of puddles after the rain, making it really difficult to walk on.
Cui Hejin paused, frowned, and said seriously, "You are my wife. It is my duty to take you home. No need to thank me."
After a pause, Cui Hejin sighed softly and said, "You weren't like this when I carried you back that day."
The girl became estranged from him.
Jiang Zhiluo observed Cui Hejin's expression and suddenly smiled and said, "Then I ask you to carry me on your back now, will you still do it?"
Cui Hejin said: "You are right. It is less likely to get wet in the rain if I carry you on my back."
As he spoke, Cui Hejin found a clean stone and said to Jiang Zhiluo, "Step on it and I'll carry you."
It was raining and it was difficult for him to squat down, so he asked Jiang Zhiluo to step on the stones and climb onto his back.
Jiang Zhiluo wanted to refuse, but when she looked at the other side of his clothes, they were all wet.
In order to hold the umbrella over her as much as possible, his clothes got wet.
Jiang Zhiluo swallowed her words of refusal and said, "If the villagers see me, they'll say I'm being hypocritical."
"Silly boy, don't care what others say."
Jiang Zhiluo raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stepped on a big rock, and climbed onto Cui Hejin's back.
So she held the umbrella and Cui Hejin carried her on his back as they walked home step by step.
Jiang Zhiluo felt a little guilty at this moment and said, "You are not in good health, and I asked you to carry me."
Cui Hejin couldn't help but laugh, and said in a slow voice: "You are very light, I still have enough strength to carry you."
Hearing Cui Hejin's gentle voice, Jiang Zhiluo's tense spirit relaxed and asked, "By the way, did you buy the date cake?"
After Cui Hejin took out the date cake in front of her younger brothers and sisters, she saw their bright eyes.
Cui Hejin explained, "It was sent by a student's parents."
He didn't want to take it, but the student's parents insisted, saying that he could take it to his wife.
"I told my parents about our house construction. They wanted to come and help, but I refused."
Cui Hejin said softly: "Dad's feet are not good, my younger brothers and sisters are still young, and mom needs to stay at home to take care of them. You did the right thing."
Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed. She felt that he understood what she had not expressed and was comforting her instead.
Her heart was touched, and she tightened her arms around Cui Hejin's shoulders, calling him softly, "Husband~"
"Um?"
Jiang Zhiluo felt some emotions well up in her heart, and she said with a hint of bitterness: "You are so good to me!"
