Chapter 5 Wedding Night
"My lady, you are my wife. I am listening."
Qin Zhizhi heard the loneliness in Gu Jinghuai's tone, looked up at Gu Jinghuai, and asked softly, "Is my husband unhappy?"
"My husband...my husband, no!" Gu Jinghuai felt a little embarrassed when Qin Zhizhi saw through his worries, and even stuttered when he spoke.
Qin Zhizhi looked at Gu Jinghuai's slightly flustered expression and thought he was very cute.
Patting the seat next to her, she asked Gu Jinghuai to sit next to her and said with a smile, "Husband, I just want to discuss our business with you."
"Our business?" Although Gu Jinghuai was a little confused, Qin Zhizhi's word "we" completely pleased him.
"Today I was willful and didn't discuss it with my husband in advance. I just decided to marry you. It's unfair to my husband and I've wronged you."
Qin Zhizhi had just entered the book and her mind was in a mess. She was willing to marry Gu Jinghuai, but as a newcomer to the book, she needed time to adapt.
"Zhizhi, do you regret marrying me?" Gu Jinghuai thought that Qin Zhizhi chose him in order not to bring shame to the Qin family, and he felt very uncomfortable.
As soon as Qin Zhizhi heard Gu Jinghuai's tone, she knew he had misunderstood and hurried to explain.
"Husband, it's not like that. I married you willingly. I'm not used to it yet. Husband, can you give me some time?"
Gu Jinghuai became happy again when he heard Qin Zhizhi say that she was willing to marry him.
He took her hand and said, "My dear, I am very happy that you chose me. You can tell me anything you think."
Qin Zhizhi said a little embarrassedly, "Husband, I feel that I am a little young and want to consummate the marriage later. I heard from Ah Hua's mother that it is dangerous to have a child too early."
Ahua's mother is the midwife in the village. Of course, these words were not said by Ahua's mother, but were said casually by Qin Zhizhi.
When Gu Jinghuai heard that his wife did not regret marrying him, he suddenly felt happy.
"I will sleep with my second brother tonight."
Qin Zhizhi was dumbfounded when she heard this. She just didn't want to have a baby so early, not to send her husband to sleep in her second brother's room.
But now Gu Jinghuai has misunderstood her meaning, Qin Zhizhi feels that she must take the initiative to save the situation, and says to Gu Jinghuai.
"Husband, I think we should not disturb my second brother. This is originally your room. Why don't you sleep here?"
Gu Jinghuai originally wanted to say something, but then he thought that Qin Zhizhi was the wife he married, and it was reasonable for the couple to live in the same room.
"I will listen to my wife. Then I will sleep on the floor." Gu Jinghuai felt that he was a man and should give the bed to his wife. He could sleep on the floor.
Qin Zhizhi was amused by her innocent husband and joked, "Husband, we are husband and wife. If you trust Zhizhi, then sleep in bed with me."
Gu Jinghuai's face flushed red after hearing Qin Zhizhi's joke, and he looked very pretty against the red candlelight. Qin Zhizhi took the opportunity to admire the handsome man.
Being stared at by his wife, Gu Jinghuai was a little at a loss and quickly nodded to agree with his wife's suggestion.
Before going to bed, Gu Jinghuai poured some hot water for Qin Zhizhi. After she washed up, Qin Zhizhi crawled to the innermost part of the bed and lay down.
Although the bed was a bit hard, the person who was tired after a whole day felt very happy lying on it.
Seeing Qin Zhizhi's happy and contented look, Gu Jinghuai quickly washed up and lay down on the edge of the bed. Qin Zhizhi wanted to laugh when she saw this.
After a tiring day, he should have fallen asleep early by now, but Qin Zhizhi was actually a little excited.
"Husband, how many days of leave did you and your elder brother ask for from the teacher this time?"
After hearing Qin Zhizhi's question, Gu Jinghuai remembered that he and Qin Qingyuan had only taken a day and a half off this time, and they would have to return to the academy after noon tomorrow.
"We have to return to the academy after lunch tomorrow." Gu Jinghuai felt a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for a few more days.
"Then let's get up early tomorrow and serve tea to mother. Then you and big brother can pack up and go to the academy early. I'm at home, so you don't have to worry. I will take good care of mother and my younger brothers and sisters."
The Qin family attaches great importance to this exam, so Qin Zhizhi knows the importance of it.
Gu Jinghuai didn't expect Qin Zhizhi to be so considerate of him. He was deeply moved and solemnly promised Qin Zhizhi, "My dear, when I graduate from high school, I will definitely give you a grand wedding."
"Then I'll be waiting for you. My husband, please work hard when you get to the academy!" Qin Zhizhi said playfully. She naturally believed in Gu Jinghuai. As the future powerful official, she had to hold him tightly.
"Don't worry, my lady. I will do my best." Every word of assurance from Gu Jinghuai made Qin Zhizhi feel more at ease.
"Then let's go to bed early! Sweet dreams, husband!" Qin Zhizhi is now full of anticipation for the future.
Gu Jinghuai got out of bed and blew out the candle. Country people don't have so many rules, and Qin Zhizhi fell asleep in a short while.
Gu Jinghuai heard the even breathing sounds beside him and had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning.
When Qin Zhizhi woke up, Gu Jinghuai was no longer by her side. Qin Zhizhi reached out and touched the place beside her, but there was no warmth left. It was obvious that Gu Jinghuai had already gotten up early.
Qin Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly got up, packed up and went out.
I opened the door and found that the whole family was up.
Gu's mother was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, Gu Jinghuai was helping, and even the two little ones were helping to clean up in the yard.
"Jingshu, Jingyao, good morning!" Qin Zhizhi greeted them a little embarrassedly.
"Good morning, sister-in-law. Brother and mother are in the kitchen." The two little ones pointed to the kitchen happily.
"If you are tired, take a rest. Sister-in-law will go to the kitchen to help." Qin Zhizhi was afraid that the two children would be tired, so she reminded them before entering the kitchen.
"I understand, sister-in-law!" Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao were taught to be very polite by their mother. They usually liked Qin Zhizhi, and now that she has become their sister-in-law, they are even happier.
"Mom, husband, I'm sorry, Zhizhi got up late!" Qin Zhizhi looked at the breakfast that had been prepared and felt a little embarrassed.
"Zhizhi is here, go wash up quickly, mom and Jinghuai will be ready soon." Mother Gu was reluctant to let Qin Zhizhi go into the kitchen on the first day of her marriage, so she quickly sent her away.
Qin Zhizhi felt even more embarrassed now. She was the last one to get up in the family, yet she was still treated preferentially.
As a result, the one who was treated preferentially was yet to come. When she came out of the kitchen, Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao had already prepared water for her to wash her face.
Qin Zhizhi first praised the two of them, "Wow, our Jingshu and Jingyao are really amazing."
The two of them giggled at the praise, and the courtyard was filled with warmth.
In the kitchen, Gu's mother and Gu Jinghuai smiled at each other. Gu's mother felt that since Qin Zhizhi married her son, the family would become different and the future would be better.
Mother Gu came out with breakfast in her hand and shouted to them with a smile, "Don't bother your sister-in-law. Hurry up and wash up and come in to eat. The food will get cold soon."
"I understand, Mom!" The three of them answered in unison, and then burst into laughter.
