Chapter 14 It's hard to be serious about this matter
Qi Huaijing had no idea of his mother's loneliness, so he pulled Chen Tang back to the yard, went into the house, and sent all the maids out.
Close the door, take a shower, and go to bed, all in one go.
Inside Wutong Garden, the night was deep, the room was filled with fragrance, and the curtains were low drawn.
Qi Huaijing was wearing a plain silk nightgown, leaning on the pillow and fanning himself with a folding fan. The slightly swaying candlelight cast a distinct and straight outline on his tall nose.
Opposite him, Chen Tang was also wearing pajamas, with long, shiny black hair hanging down, and a pair of sparkling eyes, looking him up and down.
"You said yesterday that you wanted to sleep peacefully tonight."
Qi Huaijing nodded, "Yes, that's what I said."
Chen Tang nodded and lay down. Qi Huaijing also put away his folding fan and lay down together, then reached out to hug her waist.
Shen Tang exclaimed softly.
"What are you doing!"
Qi Huaijing's voice is louder than hers.
"Go to sleep!"
Chen Tang then remembered that he was afraid of being heard, so he lowered his voice.
"…Just go to sleep, why are you pulling me…"
“…”
Qi Huaijing complained in his heart that he couldn't even hold his wife in his arms to sleep after finally marrying her home!
Seeing Shen Tang so scared, he didn't show it on his face, but he actually felt a little frustrated.
How come this matter is different from what those people said? Why is she so scared? Did I do something wrong?
He was unhappy.
Chen Tang repeatedly asked Qi Huaijing to sleep peacefully, and as soon as he lay down, his hand unconsciously reached out and touched her waist.
The skin is as smooth as cream, warm, fragrant and delicate.
It was such a hot day, he wanted to take off some clothes for her.
"Hey! Didn't we agree on this..."
Not only did Qi Huaijing not stop, he also hugged her tighter and whispered assurances in her ears.
"Tangtang, let's try again, okay? It won't hurt this time."
Chen Tang turned around, glanced at him sideways, and moved further into the bed.
"That's what you said last night."
“…”
Qi Huaijing collected his thoughts for a moment, "Forget it, don't sleep yet, let's talk."
"Well... okay then."
Just talk, it doesn’t hurt.
"How are you feeling today?"
"It hurts a lot."
“…”
Qi Huaijing actually wanted to ask her how she felt about her family, but he didn't expect that she was still thinking about that matter.
It seemed to be painful all day.
Before the marriage, Aunt Song quietly reminded Chen Tang that she knew that her daughter's first time would be painful and she would bleed.
But she never expected that it would hurt so much and that she would bleed so much!
I cried because of the pain the first time.
Fortunately, Qi Huaijing quickly called off the attack.
Chen Tang thought it was okay...tolerable.
Then he made a comeback.
…
I'm almost going crazy from the pain.
…
Qi Huaijing looked ashamed: "This is my fault...I didn't learn it well."
"You...have you learned it?"
Qi Huaijing nodded slightly unnaturally.
"Who did you learn this from? Did your wife show you...a diagram of avoiding fire?"
"……no."
Chen Tang suddenly felt cold in his heart and looked up at him.
"Could it be that you learned this from... another girl?"
"Of course not!"
Qi Huaijing had been traveling between Guangling City and the capital for many years, and had many maids serving him. Both the Qi and Yue families thought that he had learned it somewhere else, and no one thought of teaching him.
Two days before the wedding, his second brother Qi Chengzhou vaguely asked him about this, and he nodded and said that he could.
Then I studied books all night.
The second brother is surrounded by many beautiful women and has a reputation for being a playboy. Qi Huaijing has always looked down upon his romantic methods.
He really didn't want to treat his beloved Mingyue in the same improper way as his second brother.
But this matter is really hard to be serious!
Qi Huaijing looked at Chen Tang's slightly confused eyes and guessed to himself that she probably had never learned it.
Chen Tang lost his mother at an early age, and his stepmother, Madam Qi, probably wasn't that caring, not to mention the father of the Shen family.
"That's all right. I'll bring some books back tomorrow and we can read together."
"Reading? What books?"
Qi Huaijing looked at her clear eyes like autumn water, suddenly smiled, leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice, saying a few uncommon book titles.
Although Chen Tang had never read it, he knew it was not a serious book as soon as he heard it. He spat at him lightly, covered his face with a silk handkerchief to hide the blush on his cheeks, and pretended to sleep.
Seeing that she was shy and timid, Qi Huaijing couldn't help but feel moved. He leaned over and kissed her gently through the handkerchief.
Chen Tang didn't open his eyes either, and scolded him softly.
"They are sleeping, what are you doing here?"
"Go to sleep, it's irrelevant. Since you have read the book, you will naturally use it."
Seeing that he was becoming more and more restless, Shen Tang thought of last night and became afraid again, so he reached out and pushed him away.
"Cousin, you... huh, you're still studying! When you were studying at my house, were your mind full of these things?"
Qi Huaijing smiled but said nothing.
If I were to tell her all my thoughts from my youth, I'm afraid we would talk until dawn and it would make her cry several times.
He denied it.
"Of course not. My uncle taught me the teachings of saints and I studied very hard."
Chen Tang laughed and teased him, "If you really study those sage books carefully, you might also take the imperial examination to win fame...
The joke was only half said, Chen Tang thought of what happened during the day and immediately changed the subject.
"…Luckily I didn't go. You're such a smart person. If you were to pass the imperial examination and be captured by someone in the capital, how could you come back to marry your cousin?"
Qi Huaijing really felt a chill in his heart, and felt better after hearing the latter part. However, he still didn't want to tease her anymore, so he just sat up straight.
"Chen Tang, come here, I have something to ask you."
Seeing that he was so serious that he even called out his full name, Chen Tang unconsciously sat up straight.
"What is it? Ask me."
"You and I were brother and sister in the past, and now we are husband and wife. I married you, and you married me - this marriage is completed, are you happy in your heart?"
Seeing that he asked seriously, she also thought about it seriously.
"Of course I am happy. You and I have known each other for so many years, and our two families are even closer. It is much better for me to marry you than those blind marriages."
Qi Huaijing was silent for a moment, frowning slightly.
This question lingered in his mind for a long time. Her answer was true, but it was not the answer he wanted to hear.
Chen Tang didn't know the reason, but he could tell that he was unhappy.
So, for the first time, she took the initiative to go over to him and gave him a gentle kiss on his handsome features.
"I am really happy. My husband, I am very happy."
Her eyes were as bright as water, reflecting the dancing candlelight, full of sincerity.
