Chapter 288 Am I good-looking? Or is the book good-looking?
When coming out of the restaurant, Mr. Wang was a little drunk. Gu Jinghuai handed him over to the Wang family's servants and put him in a carriage before returning home.
Gu Ting, Gu Shi and Mr. Wang were all drunk. Gu Ting was a little tipsy, while Gu Shi and Mr. Wang were really drunk.
Qin Qingyun and Qin Qinglin drank just enough, but Gu Jinghuai didn't drink a single sip, and Qin Qingyuan nodded in agreement.
The three brothers of the Qin family had two carriages, and Qin Qingyuan had one for himself because he disliked the smell of alcohol on his second and fourth brothers.
Gu Jinghuai was equally pretentious, arranging his father and uncle in a carriage.
Anyway, my uncle dotes on my dad very much and he will definitely not mind. This also avoids smelling of alcohol on me.
So after the meal, the person who actually hosted the party didn't drink a drop of alcohol, while the people who accompanied him drank a lot or were slightly tipsy.
The meal was paid by Gu Jinghuai, after all, it was his treat. Although Master Wang repeatedly told the shopkeeper not to let Gu Jinghuai pay, Gu Jinghuai insisted. Since his master was drunk again, the shopkeeper had no choice but to accept it.
After returning home, Gu Jinghuai first sent his uncle back, then asked someone to send his father back to his mother's yard, and then asked someone to cook some sobering soup before returning to the yard.
Gu Jinghuai entered the bedroom after washing up. His wife couldn't stand the smell of alcohol, so he was particularly careful.
Qin Zhizhi knew that her husband had invited Mr. Wang to dinner today, so she went to bed early. Before going to bed, she specially asked someone to cook some sobering soup.
Her idea was simple: men always have to have a few drinks when they go out, especially when they treat others to dinner.
"My dear, Madam has prepared some hangover soup and told you to drink some before going to sleep."
Qin Zhizhi specifically instructed the little maid before going to bed, and she remembered it clearly.
"No, I haven't drunk any alcohol today. You can go down and rest. You don't need to keep watch."
Gu Jinghuai sent the maid down to rest. As long as he was in the mansion, there was usually no need for anyone to keep watch at night, and he could take care of Qin Zhizhi by himself.
"Yes, young master!" The maid bowed and retreated.
They were used to it. The eldest son and the young mistress were very affectionate. As long as the eldest son was around, they could sleep peacefully.
Where else can you find such a good job except in the Gu family!
Gu Jinghuai looked at the sleeping Qin Zhizhi, gently lay down beside her, and held her in his arms.
Qin Zhizhi called out in a daze, "Husband."
"Go to sleep, your husband is here!" Gu Jinghuai gently patted Qin Zhizhi to coax her to sleep.
"Hangover soup!" Although Qin Zhizhi was half asleep, she still remembered the sobering soup.
Gu Jinghuai raised the corner of his mouth. His wife really cared about him the most.
"I didn't drink today. Thank you for your concern."
Gu Jinghuai adjusted the position of his arms to make Qin Zhizhi's pillow more comfortable.
Qin Zhizhi leaned into Gu Jinghuai's arms, smelled the familiar scent, and continued to fall asleep.
Gu Jinghuai's heart was filled with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with his wife's dependence on him.
He kissed Qin Zhizhi's forehead and whispered, "Go to sleep."
Then he blew out the candle on the bedside table and fell asleep with his arms around Qin Zhizhi.
On the Qin family's side.
When Qin Qingyuan came back, Gu Yunfei was still awake and reading a book, obviously waiting for him.
"My husband is back. Madam, bring the hangover soup."
"Yes, Princess!" The nanny went to bring the sobering soup herself. The Duke had returned, and she was also affecting the relationship between the Princess and the Duke.
"My dear, I didn't drink any alcohol, so I don't need to drink the sobering soup." Qin Qingyuan explained to Gu Yunfei with a smile.
"Mammy prepared it long ago, my husband, just have a few sips."
"Then I will drink later. I will go wash up first. My wife, please wait for me."
Qin Qingyuan disliked the smell on his body and decided to wash up first. As for the hangover soup, he didn't need to drink it.
Gu Yunfei nodded, and Qin Qingyuan turned and left to go to the ear room to wash up. The servants had already prepared hot water.
Qin Qingyuan quickly washed up and didn't stop until he was sure there was no smell of alcohol on him.
When I returned to the bedroom, Gu Yunfei was still reading a book. Perhaps she saw something interesting and a smile appeared on her face.
It is particularly heart-warming under the candlelight.
Qin Qingyuan deliberately pulled his collar again and again, then walked to the bed.
Gu Yunfei was so engrossed in reading that she didn't notice Qin Qingyuan had finished washing up and returned to the bedroom. She only looked up from the book when the light in front of her was blocked.
When she saw what Qin Qingyuan was wearing, Gu Yunfei's face turned red.
"Husband, be careful not to catch a cold!"
Gu Yunfei looked at Qin Qingyuan's open collar and quickly lowered her head.
Qin Qingyuan directly snatched the book from Gu Yunfei's hand, threw it on the table, and asked jealously and aggrievedly.
"My wife, is this book better than my husband's?"
"Of course my husband is more handsome. I was just waiting for him to get bored, so..."
Seeing Qin Qingyuan's aggrieved expression, Gu Yunfei's desire to survive was aroused. She swore that if she had known that her husband would be jealous of a book, she would never read it even if she was beaten to death.
"Since I'm good-looking, can you please only look at me from now on?"
Qin Qingyuan's eyes were full of affection, and there was a little grievance in his gentleness.
Gu Yunfei's cheeks flushed, and Qin Qingyuan lowered his head and kissed her lips.
After the kiss, Qin Qingyuan explained in a low voice, "My husband really didn't drink."
Gu Yunfei was so dizzy from the kiss that she didn't care whether to drink or not.
She called out crisply, "Husband!"
Qin Qingyuan's self-control collapsed at this moment. He stayed awake all night and his emotions intensified.
The next day, when Qin Qingyuan was leaving for work, Gu Yunfei had not woken up yet. Qin Qingyuan kissed her forehead and left the house contentedly.
Before leaving, he specifically told the nanny not to disturb Gu Yunfei.
Only after Gu Yunfei woke up did the nanny come in to serve her.
Looking at the red marks on the princess' neck, the nanny lowered her head and chuckled. The princess and the prince's relationship has really been getting better and better since they got married.
But when she saw the unfinished hangover soup on the table, the nanny asked in surprise, "Princess, this hangover soup?"
"Don't worry, Ma'am. My husband didn't drink yesterday." Gu Yunfei explained to the ma'am.
Upon hearing this, the nanny felt relieved. She recalled the look on the Duke's face when he left the house that morning, and he didn't seem to be feeling any discomfort from drinking.
"Princess, do you want to get up?"
"Please help me dress. I got up late today and didn't go to pay my respects to my grandmother and mother-in-law."
Although Mrs. Qin repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to pay respects every day, Gu Yunfei would still go when she was free.
"Then the princess should wear a high-necked dress today. This apricot-colored one looks more gentle."
The nanny helped Gu Yunfei choose the clothes to wear today, and specially picked one with a high collar.
When Gu Yunfei heard the word "high-necked clothes" and remembered Qin Qingyuan's madness last night, she suddenly understood.
He quickly took the bronze mirror from the table and saw the red marks on his neck, his face flushed with shame.
The nanny smiled and said, "My lady, don't be shy. This shows that you and the Lord are on good terms. I will cover it for you later to ensure that no one else can see it."
Gu Yunfei nodded shyly, and the nanny smiled lovingly.
She was happy to see that the princess and the prince had a good relationship, and the eldest princess and her husband were also happy to see it.
