Then other younger generations of the Shen family came forward.
Besides Shen Zhao, the eldest son of the family also had two illegitimate sons: the third son, Shen Xi, was fifteen years old, and the fifth son, Shen Cheng, was eight years old.
The second wife has two legitimate sons. The second young master, Shen Hong, is seventeen years old, and the fourth young master, Mo Mo, is twelve years old.
The gifts Su Qingyu gave were also wolf-hair brushes, the same as the one Chen Zhao had.
The eldest daughter of the first house, Shen Su, had already married. The second daughter, Shen Ying, the third daughter, Shen Yue, and the only daughter of the second house, the six-year-old fourth daughter, Shen Qian, came forward one by one to pay their respects to her.
Su Qingyu prepared a set of head jewelry for each person.
He also handed over the cat's eye headband he made for the old lady, and the old lady said it was good.
After recognizing each other and exchanging gifts, everyone went to the side hall to have breakfast.
The breakfast at Qingyuanju is simple, with porridge, side dishes, and vegetarian buns.
After breakfast, Shen Zhixiu was worried that Su Qingyu would not be able to bear it, so he whispered to the old lady, "Mother, there are still guests in the guest room in the outer courtyard who haven't left yesterday. I need to go and take care of them."
"The maids and servants in the West Courtyard are also waiting to pay their respects to Qingyu. In addition, I have some trivial matters in the West Courtyard to tell her."
"We won't be talking to Mother this morning."
How could the old lady not see through her son's thoughts? Last night, the maid from the west courtyard came back to report that the two of them had been making a fuss until late at night. They then asked for hot water and a maid to change their mattress. By the time they went to bed, it was almost dawn.
Thinking of the Yuanpa in the box that Chuntao sent her in the morning, the old lady's face was full of smiles.
"Go ahead, but you have to eat at my place tonight."
Shen Zhixiu responded yes and signaled Su Qingyu that she could leave.
Su Qingyu was stunned. Can we leave now?
She remembered that on the second day after her marriage in her previous life, she set rules for a day around Chen.
After returning to the west courtyard, Shen Zhixiu went to the front courtyard to entertain the guests who stayed overnight.
Su Qingyu called the servants and maids to the corridor.
She only told them to follow the old rules of the West Courtyard, and asked Pearl and Feicui to give her some money as a reward, then she went back to her room to lie down.
Rules aren't established overnight, so any more talk today is just nonsense. Once these people understand her temperament, they'll naturally know how to act.
After entering the inner room, Su Qingyu took off her hairpin, changed into loose casual clothes, and lay on the bed with her eyes closed to rest.
After a whole morning of hard work, my waist and legs are sore.
Thinking of the scene last night, she buried her face in the quilt, feeling shy.
Before she knew it, Su Qingyu fell into a deep sleep.
Pearl came in and saw that she was asleep. Knowing that she was very tired last night, she gently lowered the curtain.
Su Qingyu slept until noon, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face.
Only then did she realize that she was nestled in his arms.
Even though they were already husband and wife, Su Qingyu still wasn't used to being so close to him.
After all... they weren't familiar with each other before yesterday.
She moved slightly, trying to break free from his arms.
After she moved twice, his slender arms suddenly wrapped around her and hugged her tightly again.
Without opening his eyes, he rested his chin on her smooth forehead and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"
Su Qingyu was a little breathless in his embrace and could only slightly raise her head. The moment she raised her head, Shen Zhixiu happened to look down at her.
Their lips were pressed together.
Shen Zhixiu's hand, which was originally around her waist, directly grabbed the back of her head.
The wanton entanglement between their lips and teeth made Su Qingyu soften in his arms.
…
Half an hour later, Wen Zhu knocked on the door. "Third Master, I have something important to report."
Shen Zhixiu was stunned for a moment, put on his clothes and got up to go out.
After saying a few words, he came into the inner room again.
His face looked a little bad, and he said softly to Su Qingyu: "I'll have someone come in to help you change your clothes and comb your hair."
Su Qingyu was stunned and looked outside. "It's still early for dinner, but is there anything else?"
She had already felt some pain in her body when she woke up in the morning, and the pain was even worse after this ordeal.
"I've asked someone to call Mr. Zhou over. Come with me."
Su Qingyu blushed when she heard this, "Third Master, I'm not in that much pain, so I won't bother Mr. Zhou."
Shen Zhixiu smiled indulgently and didn't explain much. He just called the maids in to help Su Qingyu wash and dress.
Pearl and Feicui walked in one after another. Pearl took a look at the mess on the bed, and saw that Su Qingyu's open collar exposed a large area of her chest, dotted with purple marks.
"Miss, is the Third Master treating you well?" Zhenzhu asked cautiously.
She didn't know much about the relationship between men and women, but from the wedding night to this afternoon, Zhenzhu had been worried, but she didn't dare to ask too much.
Jadeite hurriedly instructed Pearl, "You need to change your tone and call me Madam from now on. If others hear us, they'll laugh at us for being so rude."
The two of them were maids who came with the dowry, so they could not undermine the dignity of their master, but they also had to be cautious in their words and actions and not act rashly or cause trouble. There was a balance between the two, and they had to strike it right.
Su Qingyu knew what Zhenzhu was asking and said softly, "The Third Master treats me very well. These are what I should do as his wife."
Even though she has lived two lives, she is still confused about matters between men and women.
On the night before the wedding, Nanny Bai, who was by her mother's side, had a lot to say to her. It was nothing more than that she should be respectful to her husband, especially in matters of the bedroom.
She has been remembering what Nanny Bai said these past two days, but she always feels something is wrong.
If she continues to give in to him like this every day, she might not be able to get out of bed in a few days, right?
After getting dressed, Su Qingyu came out of the inner room and saw Shen Zhizheng sitting on a small couch in the banquet room reading a book.
