Chapter 83: A Short Separation Makes You Happy
Chen Qi was unsure of what Aunt Yun meant. Was she willing or not?
My own parents care so much about little brother Shen Ji's studies, so if I think about it fairly, Aunt Yun should also care.
But if she really doesn't want to go out, isn't he forcing her?
Chen Qi felt a little regretful, wondering if she had been too reckless.
Fortunately, she took the clothes. Whether she was willing or not, she had done her best.
Chen Qi returned to her room, shook the large pearl on the bed curtain with her fingers, and sighed inwardly.
It’s a pity that Xie Yuduo is not at home, so I can’t discuss it with him.
In three days, he will be back.
The next day, after Chen Qi had breakfast and was sending Yu Shuo to the carriage at the back, she saw Aunt Yun from afar.
She was standing by the back door, wearing the new clothes that Shen Qi had given her, her hair combed neatly and her back straight.
Yu Suo's eyes lit up. As far as he could remember, he had never seen his mother dressed so beautifully.
Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, patted his younger brother's head, and told him to hurry over.
Yu Shuo ran into his mother's arms, saying something with a smile. It was the first time that Chen Qi saw Aunt Yun smile.
"Thank you very much."
Aunt Yun looked over from a distance and moved her lips slightly.
Chen Qi didn't hear it, but she knew it.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Good girls in this world shouldn't have to suffer so much.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the day before Xie Yuduo returned home. The sisters-in-law were playing on the swings in the backyard. Suddenly, Chunliu came over and said that the second master had just arrived home.
Chen Qi was stunned. Suddenly she heard that he was back. Her heartbeat suddenly became irregular. The longing that she had deliberately ignored in recent days suddenly surfaced.
She hadn't seen her sisters for half a month, and her legs felt weak. But because her sisters were all there, she felt embarrassed and just sat there without moving.
Only Sun Xueyi understood her thoughts and nudged her with her elbow.
"Why don't you go back soon?"
Shen Qi blushed.
"He's home when he comes home. I don't have anything to do, so why would I go back? It would be boring."
Mingming, the ripples in her heart made her unconsciously hold her breath.
Sun Xueyi wanted to tease her, but before she could say anything, she saw Xie Yuduo coming from the ceremonial gate to the back.
When Chen Qi saw the familiar figure, she wanted to fly over immediately.
"Oh, look, you're too shy to look for me, but I'm not shy and I'm looking for you!"
After saying that, Sun Xueyi smiled and pushed her, and she stood up and left.
When Yu Jing saw her brother coming back, she wanted to follow him happily, but was pulled by Sun Xueyi.
"Hey, you're here to play with me. You can't leave until you've had enough fun."
…
Xie Yuduo stood there, waiting for her to come over, and walked two steps side by side. Seeing that there was no one around, he put his arm around her shoulders and led her into the house. His steps were so big and so fast that Chen Qi could hardly keep up.
"Didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow?"
"miss you."
He was concise and to the point.
As soon as I closed the door, I was flooded with passionate kisses.
Chen Qi was held in the hot embrace, tilting her head back to endure the increasingly urgent kiss. Her heart was beating wildly, her body was weak, and she unconsciously took two steps back.
There was no way this man would let go, the kiss became more and more fierce, his tall body moving forward step by step until it reached the edge of the table, he simply held her on the table, leaving her with no way to retreat, clasped both wrists with one hand, then squeezed her waist, his breathing becoming heavier.
"You first..."
"I showered this morning."
"Go inside..."
"No."
Rejected, without stopping at all.
Chen Qi was forced to slightly raise her head, muttering like a dream, intoxicated by this man's wanton entanglement, and her limbs were evoked with a tingling sensation.
The passionate kiss quickly made her lose her mind.
…
In the afternoon of summer rain, sudden sudden storms often occur.
It had been hot for a long time without any rain. When the first drop of rain hit the banana leaves, both of them couldn't help but sigh.
The wind and rain were strong and fast, the ground fell with a clattering sound, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and the branches of flowers under the window swayed endlessly...
Only after the thunder stopped and the rain poured down heavily did the clouds and rain stop.
…
Until dusk, light golden sunlight shone through the window lattices, the room was dimly lit, and the clothes of the two people were scattered all over the floor from the front hall to the bed.
He gently stroked the smooth skin of the person on the back in his arms, and looked closely at her face, which was still flushed in her sleep.
The body and mind are extremely satisfied.
…
Finally it was dark. Xie Yuduo put on his clothes, went out and told the servants that it was hot and they would have dinner later, and ordered someone to fetch some water.
The two of them sat face to face in the bathtub, cleaning off the traces on their bodies while talking about what they had seen and heard recently.
The batch of goods from the provincial capital inspected well and were genuine and low priced, so Xie Yuduo asked others to buy them all, and his old friend made a lot of money.
I heard that there has been a lot of rain in the south recently, and the roads are difficult to travel on. Tea and raw silk are both in short supply. I'm afraid the prices in the north will go up soon. It would be best for the eldest brother of the Shen family to stock up on more cloth.
He stayed at his eldest sister's house for two days. His brother-in-law was out. He saw that his eldest sister's children were all well and her husband's business was relatively stable. It was not as good as the best, but better than the worst.
The provincial capital was several hundred miles away from Pingshan County, a journey that took two days by car and only one day by horseback. He was so eager to get home that he set out before dawn, without stopping, and finally arrived home in the late afternoon.
He attended many banquets in the provincial capital and went to several excellent restaurants with a wide variety of dishes. Some of the dishes tasted extremely good, but it was a pity that he could not bring them back for Chen Qi to try.
There are also many ice cream parlors on the streets of the provincial capital. If you buy ice in the summer, you can put it in the cellar at home and use it at any time.
There is a summer resort on the outskirts of the provincial capital. During the hot summer, many wealthy families go there to stay for a while, which is extremely comfortable.
The provincial capital also has...
Chen Qi listened to what he had seen and heard along the way, and as she listened, a vague idea suddenly came to her mind.
Just when I was about to ask, his kiss came back.
Chen Qi decisively covered her face with her hands, but this guy took the opportunity to kiss her palm, so she simply covered it tightly.
"Do you want to move to the provincial capital?"
Hearing this, Xie Yuduo finally stopped talking, stepped back slightly, spread his arms on the edge of the bathtub, and raised his eyebrows.
"Did I just... say that?"
Shen Qi shook her head.
"I guessed. When you're out, you never pay attention to what you eat, wear, or play. Today is the first time you've described everything in such detail. Everything is something I like. You must have noticed it in advance and told me on purpose."
Xie Yuduo nodded and smiled.
"You're truly a little rabbit spirit. I've had this idea since last month, knowing I'll be unable to hide it from you sooner or later. So, are you willing to leave home and go to the provincial capital with me?"
Chen Qi was very conflicted.
"I'm a little reluctant..."
Right now, my parents and brothers are all in the city, and I can see them in the time it takes to have a meal. But once I get to the provincial capital, it's a two-day journey, and reuniting with my family won't be so easy.
The Xie family has become the most powerful family in the city. In Pingshan County, no matter where they go, the name of the Xie family on Silver Lion Street will be treated with respect.
But with his wealth of ten thousand taels of silver, he could only run rampant in Pingshan County. If he were in the provincial capital, he would not be able to make a living at all.
Shen Qi thought about it again.
“But I kind of want to go, too.”
She knew that Xie Yuduo was no ordinary person. He had already exhausted the business in Pingshan County. If he went to the provincial capital, he would have more opportunities to show his talents.
In addition, the young couple went to the provincial capital and naturally separated from their family. They lived in their own house and yard, free and unrestrained, without the constraints and discipline of their elders. They were very happy...
Xie Yuduo pinched her face to see how conflicted she was.
"What are you worried about? I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry. Now that you've guessed it, I'll tell you clearly—it doesn't matter whether you go or not."
"What about you?"
"As a couple, it's natural that where you are, I'm there. How can I start a family alone?"
Xie Yuduo paused.
"However, I also bought a house in the provincial capital this time."
The tone of voice sounded like someone had just bought a fish on the back street.
