Chapter 392: First Married Woman
The next morning, when Ye Mingzhu woke up, she felt a little dizzy. She sat up and the quilt slipped off. Then she realized that although she was wearing pajamas, there was nothing underneath.
She quickly picked up the quilt and remembered that she and Jiang Hongyu had consummated their marriage yesterday. Afterwards, Jiang Hongyu washed her and changed her into pajamas.
…
She patted her head. This was not what she had imagined.
The door creaked open and she turned around to see Jiang Hongyu coming in with a basin of water, a smile on his face.
"Are you awake? Come and wash up, breakfast is ready."
His expression was so natural, so natural that Ye Mingzhu almost forgot she was wearing pajamas.
"You, you go out first, I'll change my clothes." Although the two had been married for several months and had been sleeping in the same bed, it was only after they consummated their marriage that she felt like she owned each other.
Jiang Hongyu saw her embarrassment and put the basin on the ground: "Okay, then I'll go out first."
Ye Mingzhu got up to find clothes after seeing him close the door. She quickly changed her clothes and hurried to change the sheets and fold the quilt.
She was worried that Jiang Hongyu would come in, so she worked quickly. By the time she made the bed, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She bent down and washed her hands and face with the water Jiang Hongyu brought her, and then she felt much better.
She let out a long sigh and sat in front of the dressing table. She had just applied a layer of face cream on her face when there was a knock on the door and Jiang Hongyu pushed it open.
"Have you finished washing up? I have something to give you." Jiang Hongyu spread out his hands, revealing a pair of slender silver earrings that did not look like they were bought locally.
"A few days ago, I saw a merchant from out of town selling these earrings on the street, so I bought a pair. Do you like them?"
Ye Mingzhu actually likes this kind of slender thing with tassels. She has two hairpins of this type. She is not sure whether Jiang Hongyu has noticed this.
"Let me try them on for you?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiang Hongyu put the earrings on her directly. He was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat.
Ye Mingzhu wiped his forehead with a handkerchief with a somewhat amused look, but Jiang Hongyu did not move.
The two people looked into each other's eyes, and for a moment neither of them spoke, as if they only had each other in their eyes.
"Sister, are you still awake?" Ye Yun'an's voice came from outside the door, and Ye Mingzhu lowered her head as if awakened.
Jiang Hongyu said to the outside: "Get up, it will be ready soon."
Ye Yun'an hummed outside and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside."
Ye Mingzhu combed her hair quickly so as not to keep others waiting for them.
But the more anxious I am, the more mistakes I make, and there is always a strand of hair that doesn't obey.
Jiang Hongyu directly took the comb from his hand, slowly combed her hair, tied it into a bun, and finally inserted a hairpin into the bun.
"You can actually comb your hair?" Ye Mingzhu's face was full of surprise.
"When I was a kid, I learned how to comb my hair just to make my mother happy. But I was small and didn't have the energy, so I couldn't do it well. I didn't expect that after all these years, I still haven't forgotten it." Jiang Hongyu was holding the comb, very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
Ye Mingzhu looked up and down in the bronze mirror but didn't find anything wrong, so the two of them went to the dining room.
Aunt Jiang immediately noticed the difference in Ye Mingzhu's hair. She had styled this kind of hairstyle before, and it was obviously Jiang Hongyu's work.
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou have been staring at Ye Mingzhu since she appeared: "Sister, you seem to look different today than at other times."
Yunniang smiled slightly beside her.
It's different, Ye Mingzhu has a bit of the charm of a new wife.
Jiang Hongyu helped Ye Mingzhu sit down and coughed: "It's getting late, let's have breakfast quickly."
Everyone's eyes then shifted from Ye Mingzhu to the dining table, and Ye Mingzhu quietly let out a breath.
This can be said to be the most difficult meal Ye Mingzhu had ever had. Jiang Hongyu picked up some food for Ye Mingzhu from time to time. At first, only Aunt Jiang noticed it, but soon Ye Yunan and Lu Dou also found out.
Not wanting to be outdone, Green Bean also picked up some food for Ye Mingzhu. Ye Yun'an looked at Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu with suspicion, which made Ye Mingzhu's face turn red, and she wished she could bury herself in the bowl.
Aunt Jiang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she told them to eat properly.
After dinner, Aunt Jiang asked Ye Mingzhu to go to her room because she had something to say.
Ye Mingzhu put down her bowl and chopsticks, quickly stood up, and followed Aunt Jiang out of the dining room.
"Close the door." Aunt Jiang entered the room and turned back to remind.
Ye Mingzhu obediently closed the door before walking into the room.
Aunt Jiang handed Ye Mingzhu a porcelain bottle and said, "From now on, take one pill after every sex."
Ye Mingzhu was a little confused. She opened the porcelain bottle and took a look. There were black pills inside.
"Mom, is this for contraception?" Ye Mingzhu guessed.
"Yes, this pill is specially made and will not harm your body. You can take it for two years first. I will then take care of your body for half a year, and then you can have a child." Aunt Jiang explained, "You are still young, so try not to have children. It's not good for you or the child."
Ye Mingzhu held the pill in her hand, her eyes full of emotion. She had not consummated her marriage with Jiang Hongyu before, not only because her body had not recovered well, but also because she did not know how to use contraception. She did not expect Aunt Jiang to prepare it for her directly.
"Thank you, mother."
"Silly child, you called me mother and said thank you. This pill is a secret recipe of my Zhou family. It won't hurt your body. Just eat more nourishing food on a regular basis. Fortunately, our family is in a much better situation now, so we don't lack these."
The medicine in this porcelain bottle was made temporarily by Aunt Jiang. There are only ten pills. She asked Ye Mingzhu to take them first. She will make more when she has time in the next few days.
Ye Mingzhu thanked Aunt Jiang again. During this period, Aunt Jiang had to prepare for her own wedding and also find time to make pills for Ye Mingzhu, so she must be very busy.
Aunt Jiang pretended to glare at her and said, "You kid, you're still being polite to your mother. Go put the medicine away quickly and don't let the two children see it. As for Brother Yu, I've already told him about it. He knows."
Ye Mingzhu came out of Aunt Jiang's room with a slightly red face. Jiang Hongyu was waiting for her outside.
"What did your mother want to talk to you about?" Jiang Hongyu looked her up and down and found nothing unusual.
Ye Mingzhu had already put away the porcelain bottle. She felt the heat on her face with her hand and looked at him with a half-smile: "What do you think mother wants me to do?"
She didn't know that this expression made her look lively and moving. Jiang Hongyu put his arm around her shoulders and led her into the room: "Mom likes you so much, I can't guess."
Back in the room, Ye Mingzhu took out the porcelain bottle and said, "My mother gave me this."
Jiang Hongyu guessed the effect of the pill at a glance. He was afraid that Ye Mingzhu would want a child, so he persuaded her, "Mingzhu, we won't be married for long. I'm often on the island now. I think we can wait two years until things on the island are stable before we have a child."
