Chapter 161: Clear-headed
After talking for a while, Rong Jinchen looked at the girl who was nestled in his arms and hugging his strong waist tightly, with her fluffy little head buried in his chest, her dark eyes becoming darker, and the veins on her forehead twitching, "Qingqing, it's time for dinner." If she continued to cling to him like this, he would not be able to control himself.
Su Zhenzhen raised her little head delicately, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Husband, you are truly the best husband in the world." She felt it was a great thing that she did not marry Xie Cijing. It was a miracle that she could find someone who resonated with her.
"Are you so happy?" The man reached out and pinched her cheeks. There was no more baby fat. No matter how much he fed her after her birthday, it would never return to its original state. He loved her chubby little face with a little baby fat. Although Qingqing still had a little chubby cheeks when she grew up, he loved it just as much, not a bit less, but why did the fat grow where it should be? Although Rong Jinchen loved her very much.
Su Zhenzhen didn't realize Rong Jinchen's thoughts had wandered off to the wrong place. "I'm happy. I'm glad you understand me." She rubbed her cheek against his calloused hand. "I want a kiss from my husband." She pouted her tender pink lips and smiled sweetly and seductively. "Kiss me." Rong Jinchen's voice was slightly hoarse, his eyes dimmed. "You want me to kiss you so much? You're not eating lunch?" He secretly adjusted his breathing, and impatiently lowered his head to hold Su Zhenzhen's lips, sucking passionately.
"Well, I need to eat. I'm hungry." Su Zhenzhen flirted and ran away, looking at him with her pitiful peach blossom eyes, which were filled with mist from being kissed, and her tone was delicate. He lowered his eyelashes, "Qingqing, you are so naughty. Wait until I deal with you tonight." The little rascal who only lit the fire but did not put it out.
Su Zhenzhen wasn't afraid of him at all. "Okay," she said, even giving him a wink. She didn't have to work anyway, so she was just sleeping in. He was being incredibly kind to her, a little salty fish.
Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Zhou Xi was ready to go on duty before dawn. Because His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess came to his and Xu Siyu's wedding banquet, his situation as an intern in the Guizhou Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue became even more comfortable.
Originally, people just thought that he followed the path of Princess Yan and married her close friend, which was how he exchanged resources. Otherwise, the Minister of War would have no connections among the civil servants.
Unexpectedly, the Princess of Yan valued her close friend so much that she came to attend her wedding banquet in person. Even His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan came in person. Some people who received the invitation from the Marquis of Qingyuan's Mansion, but because it was the second son's wedding, did not take it seriously and only sent gifts, regretted it very much.
Why didn't they think of taking this shortcut?
I can only watch others happily hugging the golden thigh!
What?
You say that people who rely on nepotism are unworthy of being gentlemen?
joke.
Whoever is jealous doesn't say it, they want it too!
For a moment, I even blamed the noble ladies in the capital for not being able to be good friends with the Princess of Yan!
That's the favorite of His Majesty! The apple of his eye!
Besides, if you want to climb up the officialdom, you have to stand in line!
Following Prime Minister Su is the safest way to be a royalist! Not to mention the Prince of Yan!
Ever since Zhou Xi decided to learn from His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, he replaced the maid who served him personally with a servant to avoid nurturing some people's thoughts.
He had just finished changing his clothes and was looking at the sleeping Xu Siyu through the flickering candlelight. He couldn't help but chuckle. His little wife was sleeping so soundly that she couldn't be disturbed.
Zhou Xi knew he was naturally cold-hearted and didn't want her to fall in love and then be disappointed, lest it affect his career, so he spoke frankly with Xu Siyu. It turned out that his wife, like him, didn't place the highest priority on love, and she quickly adjusted her mindset, though this was largely due to the Princess Consort of Yan.
Zhou Xi is now very satisfied with the way they get along. They respect each other and grow old together. Life does not necessarily require love. He loves fame and wealth and she loves glory. How wonderful.
On the second day after their wedding, Xu Siyu was helping Zhou Xi change his clothes, but she suddenly fell into his arms because she felt unwell. When he noticed her blushing face, Zhou Xi didn't let her change her clothes.
After marriage, Zhou Xi also became like His Royal Highness Prince Yan. Except for the lack of love, he had already taken care of his mother, so Xu Siyu only needed to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
After Zhou Xi left, Xu Siyu finally woke up. She opened her eyes lazily and asked the maid to change clothes and wash up.
She finally came to her senses after breakfast, "Cherry, what time is it now?" Although Zhou Xi said that she only needed to pay her respects to her mother-in-law on the first and fifteenth days of the month, Xu Siyu was not the kind of person who would be spoiled by her favor.
Zhenzhen can act recklessly because she is confident. There is no love between Xu Siyu and Zhou Xi. She knows that if she wants to live a comfortable life in the future, she must handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the relationship between sisters-in-law well.
The most important point is that Zhou Xi is on her side, which solves most of the difficulties.
She was taught from a young age to serve her uncle and aunt (parents-in-law) and her husband. Xu Siyu couldn't pay her respects to her mother-in-law every day, so she only went there on the first and fifteenth day of the month. As a legitimate daughter who had received an aristocratic education, she had to go and talk to her mother-in-law every few days.
This is the main hall of the wife of Marquis Qingyuan.
The wife of the prince of Qingyuan was chatting with the wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan about daily life. "Mother-in-law, do you think my sister-in-law should learn how to manage the household from my daughter-in-law?" A gleam of light flashed in her eyes as she spoke, but it was not visible on her face.
This legitimate brother-in-law Zhou Xi actually clung to the thigh of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. This made everyone in the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion unexpected that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Majesty the Princess of Yan would actually come to attend the wedding banquet.
The wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan didn't know whether her power as housekeeper would be taken away, so she was trying to test it out.
If her mother-in-law has this intention, she will go along with it and even get some benefits. If not, then it doesn't matter either.
The wife of the Prince of Qingyuan is not a brainless person. Seeing that her brother-in-law Zhou Xi has a bright future, she is trying to make things difficult for her brother and sister-in-law.
After all, she and the Prince of Qingyuan Marquis are a perfect match, they are not short of money, and their horizons are not so narrow. Brothers should help each other.
The wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan was flattered by Zhou Xi's promise. Not long after, her son Xier even became an intern in the Ministry of Revenue and did not have to wait for another three years to take the Hanlin Academy examination.
Not to mention that she also met His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess of Yan. Her daughter-in-law was really amazing. She was able to become the only close friend of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Now she had no complaints about her.
If they treat her well, maybe even the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion will depend on her.
So she said: "Then you can ask Yu'er when the time comes. If she wants, you can teach her more." She also saw that the wife of the Prince of Qingyuan had a good relationship with Xu Siyu.
You have to know that the Prince of Qingyuan Marquis only holds a nominal position in the Five Cities Military Department and has no real power. She must consider her son.
