Chapter 8 Who calls me uncle?

The next day after getting the marriage certificate, the Sheng family held their wedding, hosting a banquet in the old Sheng family residence to entertain relatives and friends. There was no wedding company and no red tape.

Close friends, fine wine and flowers, low-key yet formal.

When Hatsushimo took Shengting's hand and toasted together, she received a lot of sincere praise and blessings.

At the end of the wedding banquet, the guests dispersed and Sheng Ting took her to the car to their new home, which was the wedding house specially selected for them by Mr. Sheng, a villa located in the suburbs with beautiful mountains and rivers.

It was raining in the night. When they arrived at their destination, the driver opened the door and handed over an umbrella. Sheng Ting lowered his eyes to look at her, "Are you cold?"

Chushuang shook her head and walked into the house with him.

The room is decorated simply but cozy. The bed in the master bedroom is very large, and there is a vase of lilies in full bloom on the bedside table.

After a tiring day, Chu Shuang wanted to fall asleep immediately, but she became nervous when she thought that tonight was her wedding night.

The man took off his suit jacket and looked towards her. "You wash first."

"good."

Chu Shuang took her pajamas and walked into the bathroom. She didn’t dare to delay too long and quickly washed and came out.

Wiping her wet hair, she said to the man sitting on the sofa, "I'm done, go ahead."

Sheng Ting glanced at her slender neck and said, "Yeah."

After blow-drying her hair and applying skin care products, Chushuang turned off the brightest light and climbed into bed.

After taking a bath, her body and mind were relaxed and she felt sleepy. She fell asleep without any worries before the man came out.

There was not much surprise in Sheng Ting's eyes when he saw the person breathing evenly. He threw off the quilt, got into bed, turned off the last few dim lights, and the bedroom returned to darkness and silence.

The next day, when Chu Shuang woke up, there was no one beside her. She sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and slowly remembered how she fell asleep last night.

The wedding night was unexpectedly dull. She had really worried too much before.

After washing up, I went downstairs. Auntie was setting up breakfast, but Sheng Ting was not in the living room. As if she knew what she was thinking, Auntie chuckled and said, "Mr. is in the garden."

Hatsushimo nodded, "Okay."

She sat down and started drinking soy milk. Seeing this, my aunt was a little confused. She thought the first day of this newlywed couple's marriage was too peaceful.

But both of them have calm personalities, and it seems like they have experienced countless mornings like this. It feels like they have been married for ten years.

Aunt Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Madam, go and ask Mr. to come for breakfast."

"Ah?" Chu Shuang raised her eyes from the beautiful bunny steamed bun and pursed her lips, "Okay."

I stood up and walked towards the garden. In the morning light, I saw a tall and slender man, with his fair and handsome hands holding a sprinkler and watering the flowers.

"Uncle, it's time for breakfast."

Chu Shuang didn't realize the mistake at the first moment when she called out the name hastily. Sheng Ting glanced at her from the side, and there was a deep look in his deep pupils.

In his sight, Hatsumei was standing next to the Phalaenopsis orchid stand. She was wearing a light blue waist-length skirt and was slender and tall. She looked at him with clear eyes and an inexplicable respect.

Combined with the way she addressed him, it seems that she still regards him as her elder.

Sheng Ting looked calm, put down the shower and walked over, "Who called you uncle?"

The man in front of her was visually tall. Chu Shuang pursed her lips and said nothing, realizing that she had used an inappropriate title.

"I'll change it later."

Sheng Ting had no intention of making things difficult for her and walked away.

After breakfast, the two went to the old house of the Sheng family. Sheng Ting and Mr. Sheng were drinking tea and chatting in the tea room, while Chu Shuang, Sheng Yao and Mrs. Sheng were basking in the sun in the yard. The little golden retriever was wagging his tail and trying to climb onto Chu Shuang.

"I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to bring it over today. I'm sorry to bother you guys here."

Sheng Yao pouted, "The old house is so big, you and your uncle can live here, it will be so lively together, but your uncle wants to bring you there."

Madam Sheng taught her, "What do you mean by 'yours'? You are disrespectful and call me 'auntie'."

Sheng Yao: “Auntie.”

Not to mention Sheng Yao, Chu Shuang was the same. She used to call Madam Sheng "Auntie", but now she has to change to calling her "Sister-in-law". She felt awkward for a moment.

Madam Sheng said, "You'll get used to it slowly, but you can't mess up the etiquette."

"By the way, does Ah Shuang like flowers?"

"like."

"Come on, I'll take you to see the flowers."

When a few people passed by the teahouse, Mr. Sheng asked, and Mrs. Sheng said, "Take Chushuang to the flower room to see the flowers."

Sheng Yao took Chu Shuang's arm and said to Sheng Ting, "Uncle, can I borrow your aunt for a moment?"

Sheng Ting glanced at the person next to Sheng Yao, whose white face glowed in the sunlight, and said, "You can pick some flowers you like and bring them back."

Hatsushimo: “Okay.”

The greenhouse in the old house is very grand. The special greenhouse system and sufficient light make hundreds of kinds of flowers bloom in a beautiful way.

Sheng Yao handed Chu Shuang a pair of scissors, and she cut off whatever she liked, and in the end she had an armful of various flowers.

The two of them were left overnight in the old house, and Sheng Yao, at Chu Shuang's request, asked her to sleep in the same room with him.

Originally, Sheng Yao refused to do so, as she was extremely afraid of her uncle and dared not snatch someone from him. Later, she could not resist Chu Shuang's gentle and earnest requests and mustered up the courage to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the process was quite smooth and her uncle agreed without any objection.

At night, the two of them slept under the same quilt. Sheng Yao coughed softly and said, "Auntie."

"Hmm?" Hatsushimo tilted her head, "You should call me by my name in private."

"No, no," Sheng Yao shook her head with a serious look, "In my family, we value seniority and respect for the young. If my uncle knew that I was being disrespectful, he would definitely scold me."

"Well, can I interview you about why you don't sleep with my uncle?"

Chu Shuang was silent for a while. Sheng Yao leaned over and looked at her with his hands on his chest. The gossipy mood in his eyes became more and more obvious. "Was it last night..."

Chu Shuang looked over, Sheng Yao pursed her lips, with a little curiosity and excitement, she lowered her voice: "Does it really hurt the first time?"

After understanding what she meant, Chu Shuang narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips: "I don't know..."

"Um?"

"I drank last night and fell asleep as soon as I got on the bed." She pulled the quilt and whispered, "Not yet..."

"That was the wedding night," Sheng Yao said, regretting that he didn't hear the gossip. "A petite woman was in his bed. My uncle was really patient."

Hatsushimo cleared his throat.

After a few seconds, Sheng Yao sighed, "But even a plain man like my uncle can do such a thing. He is some kind of god, he can remain calm even with a beautiful woman by his side, his realm is too high."

"So you came to sleep with me or are you scared?"

Hatsushimo: “Slowly.”

——

On the third day after their wedding, Sheng Ting accompanied Chu Shuang to visit her parents. Privately, her aunt quietly took her aside to ask how the Sheng family treated her. She felt relieved after receiving a positive answer.

"I think the Sheng family is upright and honest, and they won't make things difficult for a little girl like you. But their family has been meritorious for generations, and there are bound to be some rules and regulations. If you are wronged in the future, just go back and look for your natal family. Your uncles and cousins ​​will support you.

Although our Shen family is not as famous and powerful as the Sheng family, we are also a very famous scholarly family, and our words still carry weight. When the old man of the Sheng family came to ask your grandfather for advice on calligraphy, he respectfully called him "sir". As the only daughter of the Shen family, you should be neither humble nor arrogant when you are outside, and don't wrong yourself."

Before my aunt got married, she was a real rich lady. She was generous and spoke frankly. Although she looked a bit serious, she was a warm-hearted person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Back at her parents' home, listening to her motherly exhortations and teachings, Chu Shuang's heart warmed up. "I know everything you said. Don't worry, I won't let myself be wronged."

When returning to one's parents' home, one must enter the ancestral hall, kneel on a cushion, light incense and worship the gods. Only then can this marriage be considered approved by the ancestors.

At night, Sheng Ting went back to his room first. Chu Shuang played with her nephew for a long time and didn't plan to go upstairs. It was not until her eldest cousin saw the child who was playing with her despite being sleepy that he rescued him.

"Others play with their children, but you, as an aunt, let the children play with you."
