Chapter 818 My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (27)
When Gu Shichu heard Gu Shiyao's arrogant words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh? Really? It seems that the great uncle is ready to spare no effort to promote my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is so lucky to marry you. He can stand out from his colleagues and work less for twenty years. My brother-in-law doesn't have good teeth, right? He is so happy to eat soft rice."
As soon as these words were spoken, some clever people who heard them began to laugh softly, and soon the room was filled with happy laughter of all sizes.
Gu Shiyao finally realized that Gu Shichu was mocking her husband for being a gigolo! If this got out and was heard by her husband, what would he think of her?
She suddenly became anxious, glared at Gu Shichu fiercely and said, "My husband is not a gigolo. He has talent. Father only gives him some advice occasionally. Don't make up rumors!"
"Yes, yes, you two, you love to pay for others while your brother-in-law loves to live off you, aren't you the most perfect match?" Gu Shichu said in anger.
Gu Shiyao was so angry that she wanted to rush over and grab Gu Shichu to beat him, but there were so many people around Gu Shichu that they didn't let her get close to them and drove her out. She could only rage helplessly outside: "Gu Shichu, just wait and see, I won't let you go..."
Gu Shichu sneered and didn't take her words to heart at all.
Mingxun rode his horse to the Duke of Anguo's mansion in high spirits to pick up the bride, and smoothly brought Gu Shichu back to the Marquis of Qiyang's mansion.
As the eldest son of Marquis Qi Yang, Ming Xun's room is much more luxurious and brighter than the remote and small room in the Anguo Mansion in ancient times. It makes people feel it is a kind of enjoyment to be in it.
"Help me remove my makeup and hair." Gu Shichu looked around the room and instructed Zhixia and Zhiqiu. She was wearing a head of gorgeous and precious jewelry, which almost broke her neck. The thick powder on her face applied by the matchmaker also made her skin uncomfortable.
Zhixia and Zhiqiu quickly helped her remove her makeup, and Gu Shichu then took a nice bath.
After finishing this trip, she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. Just when she was about to ask someone to bring back some food, she heard a little maid outside shouting, "The prince asked me to bring some food back to the lady, saying that the lady must be hungry. Would the lady like to eat now?"
"Come in quickly!" Gu Shichu felt that she came at the right time, so he quickly let her in.
The little maid came in with several people in a queue and set a table of hot and delicious food for Gu Shichu.
Gu Shichu was immediately very satisfied. He felt that although Mingxun was usually not very reliable, he was quite considerate at this moment and was a man who could be trained and taught.
Gu Shichu enjoyed this midnight meal without any hesitation. Just as he had finished and asked someone to leave, Mingxun came back.
"Why did you come back so soon? Don't you have to entertain guests outside?" Gu Shichu asked him in surprise.
Ming Xun said with a smile: "I just came back to take a break under the pretext of changing clothes and to see yours. How is it? Is the meal I ordered to be sent to you to your liking? This is the recipe I specially prepared for you. They are all the best dishes made by the chef of our Marquis Mansion..."
Mingxun proudly took credit for it with Gu Shichu, as if ordering the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food for her was a great thing.
Gu Shichu couldn't help but chuckle, nodded and praised him: "I have tasted them all, they are indeed very delicious. You are worthy of being the chef in your house. You are thoughtful."
"Of course. I can't let you wait for me with an empty stomach on your first day of marriage." Ming Xun was so proud that his tail was almost raised. "I spent a lot of money to buy this chef from Baishenglou. After years of my picky taste, he has been reborn. His cooking skills are superb..."
He praised the cook again and again until Gu Shichu reminded him that he had stayed a little too long after returning. Others would think that the groom was ill and that it took so long to relieve himself. Only then did he reluctantly go out to continue entertaining the guests.
"Miss, your brother-in-law is so good to you." Zhixia couldn't help but say when she saw Gu Shichu and Mingxun getting along very harmoniously.
When Gu Shichu sneaked out of the Anguo Mansion to eat, drink and have fun with Mingxun, he always brought Zhiqiu with him, and Zhixia stayed in the mansion most of the time to manage her small courtyard, so she didn't really know the true relationship between Gu Shichu and Mingxun. Now, seeing that the two of them got along so well and harmoniously, she was very surprised, and at the same time happy for her master.
"I'm good to him, too." Gu Shichu replied cheekily, "I made a lot of sachets for him, some to calm the mind, some to repel mosquitoes and insects, some to stimulate the spirit... There are so many, he can use whatever he wants..."
After hearing this, Zhixia didn't know what expression to put on her face. Although the sachets with strange uses made by her young lady were very effective, she felt that it was not appropriate to give them to her newlywed husband as a gift.
Zhiqiu seemed to know what she was struggling with, and gently pulled her hand, saying, "Don't worry, the sachet made by Miss herself, no matter what the smell is or what the purpose is, the prince will definitely like it."
Zhiqiu was the one who witnessed Gu Shichu and Mingxun playing together from beginning to end, so he naturally knew that the two had a good relationship.
Gu Shichu waited until his eyelids began to droop and he was almost asleep, then Mingxun finally sent all the guests away and returned to his room.
"Go wash quickly, you smell too much of alcohol!" Gu Shichu said to him with disgust, covering her nose. The smell of alcohol sobered her up.
Mingxun hurriedly went to wash up with a smile on his face, and when he came back he had turned into a handsome young man with rosy cheeks, handsome appearance and lively demeanor.
Gu Shichu couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Every time he saw him before, he was dressed neatly. At this moment, he was wearing comfortable and close-fitting pajamas, with his long hair like ink scattered, which made him look particularly handsome. Gu Shichu actually thought he was quite delicious.
Ming Xun lifted the quilt and lay down next to Gu Shichu, without any awkwardness or discomfort, and said carelessly: "Move in closer and make room for me."
Gu Shichu moved his body to make room for him.
Ming Xun then lay down, and sighed in a very comfortable voice, saying, "Today is finally over. I didn't expect getting married to be so hard. Fortunately, I will only get married once in my life."
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early." Ming Xun said to Gu Shichu in a relaxed manner. After he said that, he really closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Gu Shichu was stunned to see him doing this. Seeing that he was actually sleeping, with no intention of fulfilling his husband's duty and going to the bridal chamber, he couldn't help but look extremely puzzled. Could it be that this guy didn't understand anything about the relationship between men and women? Getting married was just for sleeping?
