Chapter 159 Go to the Academy!
The fabric of Qin Zhizhi's clothes tonight was so thin that the pale blue veins under her collarbone could be seen, flickering in the candlelight with her breathing.
The big hand slid down the back and paused when it touched the waist. When the last half of the veil fell to the edge of the bed, the unfinished words were shattered in the sudden and intense kiss.
The next morning.
It was already bright when Gu Jinghuai got up. He sat up suddenly.
The quilt slipped from his shoulders, revealing the ambiguous red marks left on his collarbone by Qin Zhizhi when they were passionate.
Gu Jinghuai pressed his fingertips on his sore temples, and the scenes of last night suddenly came to his mind.
Then he suddenly realized that he had to go to the academy today. He quickly put on his clothes, kissed the sleeping Qin Zhizhi, and Gu Jinghuai quickly walked out of the dormitory.
When he arrived at the front yard, Qin Qingyuan and Qingyun were obviously waiting for him, and Gu Jinghuai was a little annoyed.
Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun were reviewing their books, and obviously didn't mind Gu Jinghuai getting up late.
"Jing Huai is here, so we can set off!"
Qin Qingyuan saw that Gu Jinghuai's steps were a little messy and knew that he must be anxious.
"I'm sorry for keeping Big Brother and Second Brother waiting for so long. I overslept today."
Gu Jinghuai felt a little embarrassed, especially in front of his wife's eldest and second brothers.
Qin Qingyun looked up and chuckled when he heard this: "Jing Huai must have been tired from helping out in the shop these past two days."
Hearing Qin Qingyun say this, Gu Jinghuai clenched his fingers hidden under his wide sleeves suddenly.
Thinking about my wife's enthusiasm yesterday and my own inability to control myself, I was indeed tired, but not because of helping out in the shop.
Seeing Gu Jinghuai lost in thought, Qin Qingyuan asked with concern, "Jinghuai, why is your face so red? You are not feeling well. Do you want to take half a day off?"
"Yes, Jing Huai, if you are not feeling well, just rest at home for half a day. My brother and I will ask Master Chang for leave for you."
"I'm fine. Thank you, big brother and second brother, for your concern. I'll just rest for a while in the carriage. Let's set off quickly."
Facing the innocent and caring looks of his elder and second uncles, Gu Jinghuai felt guilty and was the first to go out.
Seeing that he insisted, Qin Qingyun and Qin Qingyuan hurried to catch up.
After getting on the carriage, Gu Jinghuai began to doze off, mainly because he was afraid to face the concerned looks of the two men.
Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun were very considerate and the sound of turning pages was a little quieter.
Because Gu Jinghuai got up late today, the coachman was afraid that they would be late, so he sped up the carriage after leaving the city.
A few people rushed to the academy just in time, and the carriage rolled over the bluestone slabs in front of the academy.
"Master, we've arrived at the academy." The driver shrank his neck and exhaled, and the white mist condensed into ice crystals at the corners of his eyebrows.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take this. It's cold, have a bowl of hot soup before you go back."
Gu Jinghuai handed the coachman a purse with some copper coins in it. It was obviously thanks to the coachman that they arrived so quickly today.
It was a very cold day, and he sympathized with the driver's hard work, so he rewarded him with a copper coin.
There are food stalls at the entrance of the academy. It would be much more comfortable to drink a bowl of hot soup on a cold morning before riding the carriage back.
"Thank you, young master." The coachman gladly took the purse. He was the coachman of the Gu Mansion, and Gu Ting specially arranged for him to pick up and drop off several people.
The driver received the tip, parked the carriage in a special place, and drank a bowl of mutton soup on the roadside.
Gu Jinghuai remembered the New Year gift box he brought to Master Chang in the carriage, and was about to put down the heater in his hand to pick up the gift box.
But Qin Qingyuan got there first and said, "Jinghuai, Qingyun and I will be fine. You hold the heater and be careful not to catch a cold."
"Brother is right. Otherwise, if my sister knew that we didn't take good care of you, she would be heartbroken again."
Qin Qingyun got off the carriage directly with the gift box. Gu Jinghuai was a little self-doubting at this moment. He looked like someone who was about to catch a cold.
Gu Jinghuai suddenly felt that the love from his elder and second uncles was a little deep.
He reluctantly got off the carriage and followed the two of them.
At this time, at Master Chang's residence.
My youngest daughter Chang Yue has been clamoring to go to a beauty salon to buy a New Year gift box these days.
But it was cold outside and Mrs. Chang didn't want to go out.
Their daughter just turned eleven this year, and they are worried about her going out alone.
Mrs. Chang was troubled by her, so today she finally agreed to accompany her to the beauty salon. The little girl was very happy.
Mr. Chang and his wife have two sons and one daughter, and the youngest daughter is the most favored.
Several people were having breakfast at the moment, but Chang Yue's mind was not on breakfast at all.
She just wanted to go to the beauty salon earlier, but the little sister who came back yesterday said that she had to make an appointment and queue up, and she was afraid that if she went too late, she would not be able to buy it today.
"Eat well, and then let your mother accompany you."
Master Chang felt distressed when he saw that his daughter hadn't even eaten two bites of her meal.
"I understand, Daddy." The little girl saw her father and mother eating breakfast slowly. There was no point in being anxious, so she could only pick up the porridge and continue drinking it.
"Sir, Master Gu and Master Qin have arrived and are in the front hall." The doorman came in to report.
"It's them. I'll be there right away."
When Master Chang heard that they were his most proud students, he quickly finished the buns and porridge in his hand, and then went to the front hall.
Chang Yue was dumbfounded and couldn't help complaining to Mrs. Chang, "Mom, I thought Dad wouldn't eat quickly!"
"You're talking nonsense again. Be careful or your father might hear you and won't let you go out." Mrs. Chang teased her daughter with a smile.
"My daughter is so surprised. Don't tell Daddy, he won't know."
The little girl flattered her mother, and Mrs. Chang smiled dotingly.
"Mom, take your time eating. I'll go to the front hall to take a look."
Chang Yue was a person who couldn't sit still. He quickly finished the porridge in his bowl and went to the front hall.
Mrs. Chang and her daughter have all met Gu Jinghuai and the others. They are all good kids. Mrs. Chang loves her daughter very much, like an older brother.
So Mrs. Chang did not stop her daughter from going to the front hall, as they had a good relationship with each other on a daily basis.
lobby.
"Jinghuai, Qingyuan, Qingyun, you are back. Have you had breakfast?" Master Chang was very enthusiastic when he saw them.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. We had already eaten when we came."
Only after hearing that several people had eaten did Master Chang feel relieved.
"Master, the class will start soon. We are here to give this to Master's wife and Sister Yue'er."
Master Chang was only concerned about a few people and ignored the exquisite gift boxes next to him.
Now, after hearing several people say that they brought gifts for his wife and daughter, Master Chang turned his attention to the gift box.
"What are these?"
Master Chang has no knowledge of these things, he just doesn't want them to spend money.
"This is a New Year gift box prepared by the student's wife for the teacher's wife and sister Yue'er."
"Master, these are all sold in our shop. They are not worth much. Master, you must accept them."
"If we can't even do this little thing, my sister will definitely be angry."
Master Chang knew about the relationship between the three people, but that was all. Only after hearing them say that the item was from their own shop did Master Chang agree to accept it.
