The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 641: Third Uncle
Just as he was distracted, Zhuang Qingning seemed to hear the sound of Xiangqiao walking back and forth.
I guessed that Xiangqiao was probably arranging things in the bridal room, trimming the lamp flowers, and making the pair of dragon and phoenix candles burn brighter, so I didn't take it too seriously.
But after turning around in the distance, the footsteps seemed to come towards her again and stopped beside her.
"Xiangqiao?" Zhuang Qingning called out.
But there was no response.
Zhuang Qingning stretched out his hand subconsciously.
But the hand that just emerged from the sleeve was immediately caught by a broad big hand and caressed gently.
Then, her hands were released and the veil in front of her eyes was lifted. Through the bright candlelight, Zhuang Qingning saw Chu Jinnian's smiling face.
Seeing that it was Chu Jinnian, Zhuang Qingning immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that he was the only one in the room, he looked around curiously, "Why are you alone?"
Isn't it according to custom that when the groom lifts the veil, someone will follow to make trouble in the bridal chamber?
Chu Jinnian smiled slyly and said, "I have already chased those people to the front hall and told them to entertain them well."
Today he is getting married, so naturally only he can see his wife. Why should others see her?
Besides, the wedding night should be the most affectionate time for two people, and the atmosphere must not be ruined by outsiders.
Zhuang Qingning was amused by Chu Jinnian's childish antics, but she also felt relieved that no one was disturbing them. She reached out to take off the heavy headdress.
"Let me help you." Chu Jinnian stretched out his hand and gently took off all the red and gold hairpins on Zhuang Qingning's head, and then asked someone to prepare hot water for Zhuang Qingning to wash.
He also did not forget to ask someone to prepare a few side dishes that Zhuang Qingning liked to eat every day.
After eating and drinking, Zhuang Qingning burped with satisfaction. When he looked at Chu Jinnian, who was sitting on the bed with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but blush.
Having lived two lives, although this was her first marriage, she knew exactly what was going to happen next.
"Are you shy?" Chu Jinnian didn't forget to tease her.
Zhuang Qingning's face turned red all the way to her ears this time, and she pouted, "I'm not shy at all, I'm just hot."
"Okay, okay, let's move aside."
Zhuang Qingning jumped onto the bed almost at lightning speed, then crawled into the quilt with his back to Chu Jinnian.
Chu Jinnian curled his lips and let down the curtains on both sides.
The red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns are shining high, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night. ——In spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
Two little balls, as delicate as jade, circled the roots of a peach tree in full bloom for several times, and from time to time, they looked eagerly at the lush flowers blooming above.
"Brother." Chu Siyu tugged at Chu Zimo's arm, her face full of melancholy, "This tree is so tall, we are too short to reach the flowers."
"Don't be afraid, I'll climb the tree." Chu Zimo lifted up a corner of his long gown and tucked it into his waist. Then he hugged the branch with both hands, gritted his teeth, and climbed up using his hands and feet.
After a long and difficult climb, he finally climbed up the tree and sat on a fairly thick branch.
After resting for a while, Chu Zimo reached out to grab a branch full of buds, plucked it down with force, and looked at it carefully. Feeling very satisfied, he said to Chu Siyu under the tree, "Sister, hurry up and catch it."
As he said this, he threw the branch in his hand down.
Chu Siyu reached out to take it hastily, feeling extremely nervous in her haste.
Fortunately, the branch did not fall on the ground, but fell on her chubby little hand.
Chu Siyu held the flower and waved to Chu Zimo hurriedly, "Brother, brother, I got it."
"Good sister." Chu Zimo smiled and went to pick other branches.
When Chu Siyu couldn't hold the flowers under the tree anymore, she shouted, "Brother, there are too many flowers. I can't hold them anymore."
Seeing this, Chu Zimo quickly slid down from the tree and made a gesture to silence the crowd, "Shh, keep your voice down. If Daddy and Mommy knew that we were secretly climbing a tree to pick peach blossoms, they would probably scold us."
"Oh." Chu Siyu nodded, and then giggled again, "But I'm not afraid, Daddy never scolds me."
This is indeed...
At home, no matter what happens, he is always the one who gets quarreled.
Especially daddy's side.
Chu Zimo suddenly became like a frost-bitten eggplant, somewhat wilted.
"But don't be afraid, brother. Daddy will definitely not scold you today." Chu Siyu said again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Why?" Chu Zimo was stunned.
"Brother, have you forgotten? The two of us came here to pick peach blossoms as a gift for Mom for her birthday. Dad knows the reason and he will definitely not be angry." Chu Siyu reminded.
That makes sense.
As long as it's something to make mother happy, father would never say no.
Not to mention that he was climbing a tree to pick peach blossoms, even if he climbed up to the sky to pick stars, as long as mother was happy, father would definitely not say anything bad.
When he thought of this, the haze in Chu Zimo's heart was swept away, and he felt much more justified. He followed Chu Siyu and picked up the peach blossom branches respectively, and went to look for Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning.
Before I reached the yard, I saw Chu Jinzhou walking towards me.
"Uncle San is here."
Chu Zimo and Chu Siyu immediately flew to Chu Jinzhou like little birds.
At this time, Chu Jinzhou was already sixteen years old. He was a handsome and elegant young man, with the dual appearance of King Qi and Mrs. Qiao. His appearance was even better than Chu Jinnian's.
Because of Chu Jinzhou's handsomeness, Chu Zimo and Chu Siyu like this third uncle very much.
But there is another very important reason. Chu Jinzhou has traveled around over the years, and every time he comes back, he always brings back many strange stories and many rare and interesting things.
When the two little guys saw that Chu Jinzhou's skin color was darker than when they saw him before, they knew that he must have just returned from a long journey.
"What fun things did Third Uncle bring back this time?" Chu Zimo asked, looking up.
"Guess?" Chu Jinzhou pinched the chubby little face of Chu Siyu in his arms and said with a smile.
“How do I guess this…” Chu Zimo scratched his head in embarrassment.
Every time Chu Jinzhou brought back something, they had never heard of it, never seen it, and it was impossible for them to guess what it was.
"You will know soon." Chu Jinzhou reached out and patted Chu Zimo's little shoulder, then looked at the peach blossoms that both of them were holding in their hands, and suddenly laughed.
