Chapter 597: No Seriousness
In another courtyard, after everyone left, Xu Wencheng suddenly became a little nervous.
On the wedding night, he knew what to do, but even though he and Gu Xinjiu were now husband and wife, they were not familiar enough to do it right away.
He looked at the phoenix crown on Gu Xinjiu's head.
"Is your crown heavy? Can I take it off for you?"
Under the candlelight, Gu Xinjiu's face was slightly red.
She nodded shyly.
"good."
Xu Wencheng took off the crown and weighed it in his hand. "Are you tired carrying such a heavy crown?"
Gu Xinjiu stood up with a sense of relief and twisted his neck.
"My neck is stiff."
She took her usual clothes and went to the ear room. After washing up, she changed into a loose set of pajamas.
Xu Wencheng sat at the table, watching her come in and out quietly.
Gu Xinjiu sat on the bed, looked at Xu Wencheng sitting at the table, and reminded him.
"General, do you want to go take a shower too?"
When Xu Wencheng heard the word "general", he felt a little strange.
He covered his lips and pretended to cough.
"Now that we're married, let's change the name."
After saying that, he took his clothes and went to the ear room.
When the man came back into the house from the ear room, wearing a thin undershirt and covered in moisture, Gu Xinjiu hurriedly stuffed the book she was reading back under the pillow.
Her face was abnormally red, her eyes were evasive, and she looked guilty, which made Xu Wencheng feel confused.
"What book are you reading? You have to hide it."
Gu Xinjiu hurriedly shook her head.
"Nothing... nothing."
Xu Wencheng came to the bed and sat down, then reached out and touched her forehead.
"You're so hot, are you sick? What on earth were you looking at just now?"
As he spoke, he had already reached under the pillow.
Seeing this, Gu Xinjiu did not try to stop him.
He just closed his eyes, pulled the quilt over his head, and buried himself completely in the quilt.
After Xu Wencheng picked up the booklet under the pillow and flipped through a few pages, his expression suddenly became interesting.
He didn't expect that Gu Xinjiu would read this kind of book.
Seeing no response from outside for a long time, Gu Xinjiu poked her head out from under the quilt, her hands tightly gripping the edge of the quilt, her watery eyes moving with charm and movement.
The lips are so tender and tempting, making people unable to resist kissing them.
"That book was given to me by my mother. I... I didn't know there would be these things in it. I just opened it and you came."
Looking at his little wife like a frightened little rabbit, the man smiled indifferently, closed the book in his hand, put it on the bedside cabinet, then lifted the quilt and lay down beside her.
"I wanted to give you some time to adapt, but Jiuer seems to be more anxious than me."
Gu Xinjiu shrank her head into the quilt in shame.
"I...I didn't."
Xu Wencheng turned sideways and pulled down the quilt that was covering the little girl's mouth and nose. He reached around her other side with his big hand, grasped her waist which could be pinched with one hand, and pulled her towards himself.
The force was so great that Gu Xinjiu was completely unable to resist. She could only let him bring her to his side. The two bodies, one big and one small, were pressed tightly together.
"Are you scared?" The man's voice was a little hoarse.
Gu Xinjiu pressed herself against his broad, solid chest, her heart almost beating out of her throat.
But she still shook her head and stretched out her white and weak arms that seemed like they could be crushed by him and put them around his neck.
"No... I'm not afraid."
She has already married him, and they have already gotten married. What is there to be afraid of?
If it was only in name only, she should be worried.
Xu Wencheng smiled.
This little fox is quite brave.
She was so scared that her voice was trembling, yet she still dared to tease him.
At this age when one is full of vigor and vitality, how can one resist such temptation?
I wanted to give her some time to adapt, to take it slow, but now I really can't help it.
He touched his cheek, turned over and held her under him, lowered his head and kissed the little girl's hot red lips. With a soft moan, the red curtain fell.
The pair of mandarin duck pillows embroidered with twin lotus flowers on the bed rolled to the ground at some point, one on top of the other, entangled.
The dragon and phoenix candles burned brightly in the house and did not go out until dawn.
…
The next day, Xu Yongwang and Jiang got up early. After having breakfast with their eldest son's family, they sat in the main hall waiting for the second daughter-in-law to serve them tea.
They waited for an entire hour, from Chenshi to Sishi.
Perhaps because he had waited too long, Xu Yongwang became a little impatient and looked outside the house.
"Why haven't you woken up yet?"
"I'm afraid it will be a little later." Song Yuntang pretended to be calm and cleared his throat. "When Rendong Zhiruo and the others changed shifts today, they had dark circles under their eyes. I'm afraid they had a lot of trouble last night."
Both Xu Yongwang and Jiang looked a little embarrassed.
"This damn boy only has brute force and doesn't know how to control his strength. He's not afraid of hurting the girl." Jiang looked worried.
Xu Yongwang coughed awkwardly.
"Since we've been delayed today, how about we go back tomorrow?"
Jiang nodded, "That's the only way."
Song Yuntang drank his tea and said nothing more.
…
Gu Xinjiu woke up after the Si hour.
Having worked too much last night, I feel as if my body has been run over by a roller, sore and weak.
Thinking that I still had to serve tea to my parents-in-law, even though I felt uncomfortable and was worried that they might have some thoughts, I still called out.
"Lily of the Valley, help me up."
The voice is weak and hoarse.
Xu Wencheng, who was practicing martial arts outside the house, heard the noise and stopped Linglan from entering the house.
"Go get some food first, I'll be in the room."
Seeing that her brother-in-law treated her daughter so well, Linglan was so happy that she bowed her head.
"Yes, General."
Xu Wencheng entered the house and went forward to help his frail wife up.
Seeing that she looked pale, as if she had suffered a serious illness, I couldn't help feeling guilty.
It seems like I didn't know the seriousness of the matter last night.
"If you really feel uncomfortable, why don't you eat something and rest later?"
Gu Xinjiu shook her head, "I haven't gone to offer tea to my parents yet."
"Don't worry, I've just told my parents, they understand." Xu Wencheng sat behind her and let her lean on his arms. "Originally, my parents planned to return home after drinking the tea you offered them today, but they've been delayed until now, so they've changed it to tomorrow. You don't have to worry, it doesn't matter if you're late."
Thinking about how she had delayed her parents-in-law's business, Gu Xinjiu became even more worried.
"No, I have to get up."
As he spoke, he had already thrown back the quilt, put on his shoes and was about to stand up, but his legs went weak and he fell forward.
Xu Wencheng was quick to act and picked her up horizontally.
He looked somewhat helpless.
"Let me put it on for you."
As he said this, he put her back on the bed and took the lotus-colored dress she was going to wear today from the shelf. It was his first time dressing someone, so his movements were particularly clumsy.
Gu Xinjiu held back her laughter as she saw him looking unskilled.
"Husband, why don't I do it myself?"
Hearing this name, Xu Wencheng paused, and inexplicably felt a strange feeling in his heart, and his movements became more gentle.
"My husband will wear it for you."
Gu Xinjiu lowered her head, feeling sweet in her heart.
"good."
