Chapter 51 The promise on New Year’s Day!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Zhizhi got up late.
In the main hall of the Gu family, the children got up early in the morning. Qin Zhizhi promised them that they would receive New Year's money today.
Gu Zheng was younger, and seeing that Qin Zhizhi hadn't come, he asked Gu Jinghuai, "Brother-in-law, why hasn't my sister gotten up yet?"
Thinking of what happened last night, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Gu Jinghuai's face. He coughed and replied, "Sister hasn't woken up yet. Can we wait for her for a while?"
Gu Zheng asked curiously, "Then why didn't you wait for your sister before coming here? Don't you sleep together?"
This time, Gu Jinghuai was choked and started coughing.
"Brother Zheng'er, don't ask. It must be that Big Brother deliberately didn't call me Big Sister-in-law."
Although Gu Jingyao likes her elder brother very much, she now likes her elder sister-in-law Qin Zhizhi more.
Then the three children looked at Gu Jinghuai with some resentment. Gu Jinghuai felt that his status in this family was getting lower and lower.
He wanted his mother to say something for him, but what he got was a look from his mother as if she was looking at a heartless man. Gu Jinghuai felt that his mother was still good to him.
Fortunately, Qin Zhizhi came in at this time, otherwise he would have been despised by the four people in the family.
"Good morning, sister-in-law!"
"Happy New Year, sister!"
The three children surrounded Qin Zhizhi and laughed happily. Even Gu's mother had a kind smile on her face. Only Gu Jinghuai looked aggrieved.
Seeing her husband's aggrieved expression, Qin Zhizhi felt a little guilty. She mistakenly thought it was because of what happened last night.
"Happy New Year, Mom! Happy New Year, Husband!"
Qin Zhizhi arrived and the Qin family's breakfast began. After breakfast, Qin Zhizhi gave New Year's money to the three children, and the children were very happy.
Mother Gu not only prepared New Year's money for the children, but also for Qin Zhizhi.
Qin Zhizhi didn't expect that she also had one, and was very happy. She took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowed to Gu's mother to wish her a happy new year.
When the three children saw her kowtow, they also kowtowed to Gu's mother in turn.
Gu Jinghuai also kowtowed to his mother and wished her a happy new year. Although he did not receive any New Year's money, since his mother gave it to his wife, it was equivalent to giving it to him.
Gu Zheng saw that everyone except Gu Jinghuai had received New Year's money, so he took out two copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Gu Jinghuai.
"Brother-in-law, don't be sad. I'll give you two."
Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao also gave two copper coins to their eldest brother, so on the first day of the new year, Gu Jinghuai received six copper coins.
Gu's mother and Qin Zhizhi almost laughed out loud when they saw these children. They were so cute.
After paying New Year's greetings to Gu's mother, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai took the children to visit Zhang Xiucai's house, and Mrs. Yao also gave the children New Year's money.
Because the Qin family is a large family, Qin Zhizhi arrived later. By the time they arrived, the Qin family was almost done with their work.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai paid New Year's greetings to their elders and received a lot of New Year's money.
Because this is the first year that Gu Jinghuai is the new son-in-law, the elders have to give him New Year's money.
The Qin family is not short of money this year, so all the children received New Year's money.
Then there were the New Year greetings among the clan members. Qin Zhizhi, a married girl, didn't have to go, and she didn't like such occasions.
After paying New Year's greetings to her family, including her uncle and second uncle, Qin Zhizhi returned to the Gu family with her children.
The three children were at the age of playing and ran out to play as soon as they got home.
Gu's mother went to Mr. Zhang's house, and suddenly only Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai were left at home.
Qin Zhizhi saw her husband went to the study, and was afraid that he would feel cold while reading, so she took a charcoal brazier to the study.
When she knocked on the door and came in, Qin Zhizhi was very confused when she saw her husband's slightly flustered look.
"Husband, why are you so flustered? If it's inconvenient, I'll go out first."
"No, ma'am, don't go." Gu Jinghuai pulled Qin Zhizhi in.
"I have something to give to my wife." Gu Jinghuai pushed Qin Zhizhi to sit on the chair, then took out a portrait from the bookshelf.
After opening it, Qin Zhizhi was stunned. The person in the painting was exactly herself. She was painted very vividly. Qin Zhizhi had studied painting and understood the beauty of this painting.
"When did my husband draw this?" Qin Zhizhi was very surprised.
"I drew this two days ago and gave it to my wife as a New Year's gift." Gu Jinghuai explained in a low voice.
"Thank you, husband." Qin Zhizhi couldn't let go.
"Do you like it, madam?" Gu Jinghuai could tell from Qin Zhizhi's expression that she liked it, but he just wanted to hear Qin Zhizhi say it in person.
"I like him, but I like people who draw portraits more!" Qin Zhizhi's sudden confession confused Gu Jinghuai.
Looking at Gu Jinghuai's red face, Qin Zhizhi giggled. It turned out that her husband was shy.
"I'm honored to be liked by my lady!"
Gu Jinghuai suddenly became bolder. There was no outsider here, so why should he be shy about saying sweet words to his wife?
Qin Zhizhi didn't expect Gu Jinghuai to answer her like this, and was a little shocked for a moment.
Gu Jinghuai took the opportunity to hold her in his arms, his voice full of temptation, "In this case, my wife can only tell this to her husband in the future."
Qin Zhizhi was touched by Gu Jinghuai's cuteness. She didn't expect that the future powerful official would have such a side to him.
She now deeply regrets not reading more of the plot, as now she only knows the beginning and the end, but not the process.
"What would my husband do if I told this to others?" Qin Zhizhi asked tentatively.
"I won't allow it!"
"How can you be so domineering?" Qin Zhizhi didn't expect Gu Jinghuai to be so domineering in feelings.
"Only my wife's love cannot be shared. My wife can only belong to me." After saying this, Gu Jinghuai kissed Qin Zhizhi's lips domineeringly.
Qin Zhizhi was confused. Why did her husband kiss her at the slightest disagreement?
Qin Zhizhi felt that life was too exciting. She was kissed by her husband on the first day of the Lunar New Year. She wondered if her husband was under too much pressure from studying recently.
After the kiss, Gu Jinghuai's eyes turned red, and Qin Zhizhi was scared by his suppressed desire.
"My husband, study hard. I'm going back to the house."
Qin Zhizhi wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but Gu Jing held her in his arms and refused to let go.
"My dear, please stay with me for a while longer. You spend too little time with me."
Gu Jinghuai's tone was full of grievance at this moment. Qin Zhizhi gave time to everyone in the family, but he was the one who gave the least.
"My husband has to study most of the time, so naturally we have less time to spend together. Studying is the most important thing."
Qin Zhizhi wanted to fool people by using the excuse of studying.
"But now my wife doesn't want to accompany me."
"I was afraid of disturbing you while you were studying."
"I'm on vacation, shouldn't my wife spend more time with me?"
"Accompany, accompany, my husband is so handsome, of course I have to accompany him more. I will accompany you every day before you return to the academy, okay?"
"Then my lady must keep her word."
"nature."
Gu Jinghuai was overjoyed when he got Qin Zhizhi's promise. He wanted to stick to Qin Zhizhi every day.
Gu's mother thought her son had finally come to his senses and was extremely relieved.
