Chapter 231 230. Wedding Night
Qingzhi settled down in the Lei family.
Qingzhi was born in a wealthy family. She lost her father and mother at a young age and was sold to a brothel by her uncle and aunt. Because she was good-looking, had skills and was obedient, she never suffered any hardship.
Her days at the Chu House were spent making tea for guests and playing the flute to accompany the dancers. She was quite famous. Although she didn't do any housework, she had never done any housework either. She only cooked occasionally to please Lei Jingsheng.
But he had no difficulty adapting to the village. He got up in the morning and went with Liu Ye'er to water the vegetable garden, help sweep the floor, pick and wash vegetables, and after breakfast, he cleared the table and washed the dishes for his family.
It was so diligent that even Willow Leaf had to stop it.
"Jingsheng doesn't do these things at home, so how can I let you do them?"
Liu Ye'er smiled kindly, "Your hands are so white and beautiful, don't wash them rough. There are people at home who are busy with these things and are paid for them. If you do all of this, won't they have nothing to do or no work?"
There are many maids and servants in the Lei family in the county town, and naturally there are also some in the Lei family in the village.
The two guys who do daily cleaning are both from the village. They are quick and efficient and do their work cleanly. The Lei family is kind and pays them high wages. They are very popular in the village, and many eyes are on them, hoping to take their places.
In the morning, they saw Qingzhi sweeping the floor and picking vegetables, and they also tried to persuade him. Besides, Qingzhi was one of the masters, and they were a little afraid that he would do all the work. The Lei family felt that there was no need for so many servants, so they fired them.
Hearing Liu Ye'er say this, he kept saying, "Yes, Madam Qingzhi, these are all done by us servants, how can we let you do it..."
Lei Li is the master of the Lei family, and Zhou Yi is the second master. Lei Jingsheng is the eldest daughter of the Lei family. She married a boy but she is not married off. Calling him "son-in-law" is not appropriate, so she should call him "madam"!
Upon hearing this, Qingzhi naturally nodded in obedience.
He could do housework, but he had his own specializations and was ultimately not as good as a professional. He also felt that after arriving at the Lei family, he couldn't just sit back and enjoy his status and not do any work, thinking that he was just here to enjoy a life of luxury.
Zhou Yi - his sister-in-law cooks and washes the sheets every day, so he naturally can't be lazy.
However, Qing Zhi didn't know that Zhou Yi cooked and made snacks every day because he liked cooking and Lei Li liked the food he cooked, but as for washing the sheets... he was embarrassed to let others do it.
It's not good for others to see what's on the sheets.
Qingzhi has been in the Lei family for some time and has gradually become familiar with the Lei family's daily routine and style.
Brother Lei Li always has a smile on his face and likes to joke. He is not a bad person. His favorite things to do are to tease his sister-in-law and play with children. He sleeps until noon almost every day, and sometimes goes to the county town in the afternoon to check the store account books.
My sister-in-law would do two sets of boxing in the morning, then make breakfast, send the children to school, go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and cook lunch. If my brother didn't wake up, she would go to wake him up, staying in the room for a long time before coming out, usually with one or two marks on his neck.
——It seemed like the marks on my sister-in-law’s neck never stopped. On the contrary, my brother had fair skin, and only occasionally could you see a little red and purple mark next to his collar.
My father and mother also like to practice boxing and Tai Chi in the morning, and then my father likes to go out for a walk. My mother gets up earlier than my sister-in-law. She will go to water the vegetables and then go home to make breakfast, usually porridge and stir-fry some side dishes, and sometimes she will cook noodles.
Jiang goes to school in the morning, sometimes goes home for lunch at noon, and sometimes does not go home but eats at Xiaobao's house. He goes to school in the afternoon, completes his homework after school, and then plays with his younger brother Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou's waking time is irregular, sometimes early and sometimes late, depending on whether he had fun or slept late the day before. He is energetic and loves to run. He speaks little and is serious. His little face is chubby, which is very contrasting and very cute.
The Lei family has many dogs.
The biggest dogs are called Heisha and Baisha. Their status is equivalent to that of Shengjiang and Zhouzhou's brothers. They are members of the Lei family. The other dogs are their wives or children.
all in all.
The Lei family members are easy to get along with.
The Lei family was also familiar with Qingzhi's personality. He was indeed too gentle and soft. He basically nodded and agreed to whatever was said to him, and never refused once.
Lei Li felt that this was not a good idea, so he talked to Lei Jingsheng privately, reminding her to pay attention to Qingzhi's problem and to make changes gradually.
"You and Qingzhi are going to start a family. You two should support each other, tolerate and understand each other. You can't always be the only one to tolerate the other."
"I see."
Lei Jingsheng nodded. She really didn't notice it. She only knew that Qingzhi was considerate, gentle and virtuous, with a pretty face and a soft body. In that aspect... she also got along very well with her, so she liked Qingzhi very much.
It was also because Qingzhi was very tolerant of her and obeyed her in everything, and there was no friction between them, so she never thought about the problem of getting along.
"My parents picked a good day, in August."
Lei Li added, "Although you two have done everything you should and shouldn't have done, you still have to have what you deserve. You're getting married, not taking a concubine or mistress. You can't just bring her home casually. You can't treat her lightly."
"I know..."
Lei Jingsheng's face turned slightly red and she felt a little embarrassed. She really hadn't thought about getting married and holding a wedding.
After all, she and Qingzhi did not follow the traditional path, where they would first inquire with their parents, agree on the betrothal gifts, choose a good day, and then have the wedding banquet and enter the bridal chamber.
If one of her and Qingzhi was a man, she might be pregnant by now.
Qing Zhi didn't expect that the Lei family would hold a wedding for him and Lei Jingsheng. He was born in the Chu Mansion, and he felt very good that Lei Jingsheng could redeem him and bring him home to live a good life.
How many boys in the Chu House could never leave that door in their entire lives, and how many boys could not enter their husband’s home after leaving the door. Even if they entered, they would only be a concubine. Most of the time, they were not even concubines, but just a mistress.
The theater gave the boys and girls medicine to help them maintain their good figures and voices from their youth and prolong their peak condition.
The boys in the Chu House will not be fed infertility drugs, because children are also their bargaining chips for getting close to rich men, and the madam of the house can make a lot of money from the redemption money.
Therefore, many guys in the academy or who have become mistresses all fantasize about getting pregnant with someone's child, so as to pave a relatively stable path for themselves.
And it is impossible for him and Lei Jingsheng to have children.
So in Qingzhi's opinion, there was no need for Lei Jingsheng to marry him, and it was not worth spending money on this banquet. Qingzhi also found it incredible that the Lei family would and took the initiative to propose that they get married.
Don’t they think it’s shameful that their daughter is having an affair with a guy from Chuguan?
He came from a dirty place like Chuguan. Even if the two elders of the Lei family didn't know, Lei Jingsheng's brother and sister-in-law must know, because Lei Jingsheng said that she would not hide anything from them.
and--
Not to mention Zhou Yi, Lei Li's peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling all the time seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Qing Zhi felt that any time she was in front of him, any of her thoughts would have nowhere to hide.
He would choose Lei Jingsheng simply because it was his best choice at the time.
If it were Zhang Jingsheng or Xu Jingsheng, he would still find a way to hold her tightly and do everything he could to make her redeem himself. As for the outcome, it would be better than dying in the Chu Pavilion.
Qingzhi was even a little scared.
He didn't understand why the Lei family was so nice. He even suspected that the so-called marriage was just a setup against him. He had stayed in the treacherous Chu House for too long, and any unusual kindness would only make him uneasy and alert.
Lei Li noticed that Qing Zhi was trying hard to hide his calm appearance. He was like a rabbit trying hard to shrink itself, and would panic at the slightest movement.
Lei Li felt a little helpless.
But he also knew that Qingzhi was like this because of the environment, so he didn't say anything openly, but talked to Mei Yuqing privately and asked Mei Yuqing to enlighten Qingzhi.
I don’t know what Mei Yuqing said to Qingzhi, but the tense state of Qingzhi gradually relaxed and he became more relaxed.
August is coming soon.
The news that the Lei family was going to hold a wedding had already spread throughout the area, and the day when Lei Jingsheng got married was extremely lively.
Not only my grandfather's family, but also Miao Fulang's family, Zhu Zhuer's family, Liu Xiaocao's family who were familiar with the Lei family, as well as Meng Luo and Mei Yuqing came, and even the magistrate of Qingmi County, Meng San Ge, and Yu Ge'er, who had become his husband, came.
As soon as the county magistrate arrived, the gentry and merchants in the county could no longer sit still.
They came with gifts to congratulate him, completely ignoring how he had previously privately condemned and scolded the Lei family for not knowing how to discipline their children and for raising such a rebellious and shameless daughter.
The villagers came to the Lei family to help enthusiastically and the scene was lively and grand.
Qingzhi stayed at Miao Fulang's house the day before, and the bride was also picked up from Miao Fulang's house. They walked around the village before arriving at Lei's house.
Originally, the groom was supposed to carry the bride down on his back, but Lei Jingsheng was a girl and Qingzhi was a boy, so they wanted to skip this step and just lead them down directly.
“No!”
Lei Jingsheng blushed and said excitedly, "Since it's a marriage, then we naturally have to follow the rules of marriage. Today I'm marrying Qingzhi, so of course I have to carry Qingzhi on my back!"
As he spoke, Lei Jingsheng reached out and gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, holding the slender and beautiful hands, and when the veiled figure appeared, he half-knelt in front of him.
"Qingzhi, come up!"
Qing Zhi, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, paused for a moment, compared her weight in her mind, and seeing that Lei Jingsheng still insisted, she gently leaned on her back.
"Let's go!"
Lei Jingsheng picked up the person and carried him on his back, then he laughed loudly as he walked steadily into the house and into the bright red wedding room that had already been decorated.
The sheets and quilts on the bed were changed to red, and many red dates and lily petals were sprinkled on them, which meant that the couple would get married happily and live forever.
Lei Jingsheng put the person on the bed and couldn't wait to lift the veil. Looking at Qingzhi, whose eyes were bright and her face was blushing, her heart was beating like a drum and her eyes were staring.
It was not until Qingzhi gently pushed her that Lei Jingsheng suddenly reacted. He then put his arms around Qingzhi's waist and kissed him hard on the face twice.
"Be good!"
Lei Jingsheng couldn't help but say, "You're worthy of being my Qingzhi, so beautiful! If I didn't have to entertain guests, I really want to roll in bed with you and never go out."
“…”
Qingzhi blushed immediately.
