He Zui settled down in a small courtyard on Wuliu Street.
Knowing that he didn't like socializing, Jiang Ling and Zhou Jing'an blocked those who wanted to visit or invite him to a banquet. Even people from the Zhou and Jiang families couldn't say a few words to He Zui.
He was most happy to have free time. Every day he would fiddle with medicinal herbs, study medical books, and occasionally see a few patients, acting as a "miracle doctor" who cured and saved lives.
What he usually did was to sit on the recliner that Jiang Ling bought for him and take a nap leisurely with a relaxed smile on his face.
After settling He Zui, Jiang Ling finally had one piece of her worries at ease.
When people are happy, they like to go out to eat, drink and have fun.
Jiang Ling, with her small pregnant belly, was going to travel out of Beijing with some good friends, which made Zhou Jing'an very worried.
"Ling'er, can you wait for my day off? I'll go with you." Zhou Jing'an paced back and forth beside her anxiously.
Jiang Ling leaned over, turned a page of the storybook, and said lightly, "No."
Wu Wanying discovered an interesting place in a county town near the capital.
It is said that the scenery there is quite beautiful. Several adjacent villages have planted hundreds of acres of flower fields. Now is the time when flowers bloom, and it is very beautiful.
She said she would go and see everything.
She glanced at him, unmoved by his anxious expression, and said comfortingly, "Qing County is right next to the capital, and it only takes less than half a day to go there and back. If you miss me, just come and see me."
But it’s better not to disturb these little sisters’ happy gathering.
Zhou Jingan moved to sit next to her, held up five fingers, and said exaggeratedly: "But you are going to be gone for five days!"
Five whole days!
He couldn't even imagine how painful and long these five days would be for him.
Can't eat with her.
Can't hold her hand and take a walk.
I can't serve her soup or feed her food with my own hands.
I can't fall asleep holding her soft body.
I can’t open my eyes and see her cute sleeping face!
This is really horrifying.
Zhou Jing'an's eyes gradually became filled with fear, and he turned to look at Jiang Ling with a look of grievance.
"Why don't I go ask the Emperor for permission to rest for a few days? I'll go with you."
Jiang Ling waved her hand, interrupting his unrealistic idea.
"Haven't you been very busy these past few days? The Emperor has entrusted you with an important task. How can you just give up at this moment?"
Zhou Jing'an has been very busy recently, going out early and coming back late every day. I don't know if there is anything important.
When Zhou Jing'an heard this, he lowered his head and looked downcast.
Yes, he did have important things to do.
After clearing out the people from the previous dynasty, the emperor focused on rectifying the administration of officials.
Corruption, forming cliques for personal gain, and secretly stationing troops.
These three things need to be rectified.
Feng Yu gave him a big task, and he really couldn't leave.
Some officials were dealt with the day before yesterday, most of them were corrupt, and there were also quite a few Beijing officials.
Feng Yu was determined to rectify the atmosphere in the officialdom and teach those officials who took advantage of the internal and external troubles to have ulterior motives a lesson.
We need to increase our efforts in the future.
Zhou Jing'an sighed softly, rushed to her side and snuggled into her arms.
Jiang Ling had no choice but to raise the notebook a little higher.
Ever since the last time they kissed unscrupulously in broad daylight, Zhou Jing'an has become more and more "unruly"!
Jiang Ling's eyes were glued to the storybook. She pinched his face with her hand and said softly, "That's against the rules. Zizhen and the others are packing up outside. Hurry up and get up."
It was a bit difficult for such a small soft couch to support the two of them.
Zhou Jing'an refused and closed his eyes uncomfortably when he heard the rustling sound of people packing things outside.
His wife is about to abandon him!
How could he care about any broken rules!
"I can't bear to leave you." He murmured.
He reached out and gently stroked her belly, his brows drooping, his tone slightly resentful and aggrieved, "The child must be unhappy that I haven't been reading bedtime stories for the past five days."
Jiang Ling couldn't help but laugh, deliberately teasing him, saying, "That's not difficult at all. Just let Aunt Huanan explain it to her/him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Jing'an looked up suddenly, his eyebrows almost raised.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, "No."
The task of telling stories to children belongs only to him! No one else can take it away from him!
Want to tell stories next to his wife at night? That would be so intimate!
"No, no." He said "no" twice in a row.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but laugh. Looking at his puffed-up face, she raised her head and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then said with a smile, "Just like a little kid."
So cute.
Zhou Jing'an's anger had dissipated by about 70% unconsciously. He looked at her sternly and made a request with a deliberately cold face.
"Then I want to make amends."
Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow and refused to listen to him. "Why should I compensate you? Don't try to fish in troubled waters."
Zhou Jing'an felt even more aggrieved when he heard this. He moved forward and got into her arms, hugging her tightly and wrapping her completely in his arms.
"I won't see you for five days. One day without seeing you feels like three years. This will take me several years."
Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing when listening to his resentful accusation.
He muttered quietly, "It's only been five days. We didn't even see each other every day before we got married."
Zhou Jingan frowned and gritted his teeth, "I heard it."
Can the present be compared with that before marriage?
Naturally, there is no comparison.
When you are single, you don’t know how good a wife is; only after you get married do you realize how mysterious she is.
It’s like the nectar of the gods, sweet enough to drink every day.
Zhou Jing'an lowered his head and quickly kissed her on the face. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, but he still had to maintain his aggrieved and angry face.
