Chapter 243 242. Wedding Night
The four great joys of life.
A long drought is followed by a downpour of rain, a distant land is visited by an old friend, a wedding night is marked on the day of passing the imperial examination.
For Lei Shengjiang, marrying the person he had longed for was more exciting than any other three joys—except that he was too excited and nervous, and made a little joke.
The first time he...
A bit fast.
Xiao Bao's brows were slightly furrowed with embarrassment, but before they relaxed, it was over. It was so fast that he couldn't come back to his senses for a moment. He went from being nervous and embarrassed about having sex to being shocked and bewildered, and even a little dazed.
"you……"
"I……"
Lei Shengjiang was also at a loss. Feeling ashamed, he immediately covered his face and cried.
This made Xiaobao laugh.
Xiao Bao reached out to wipe Lei Shengjiang's tears, and softly coaxed and comforted him, "... Let's do it again. This time we have experience, so don't rush, just take your time."
“Woo…”
Lei Shengjiang was sobbing, his fair and tender face looked childish and immature, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with crystal tears, and he looked very touching under the candlelight.
Xiaobao's heart was warmed by what he saw. He held his face and gently kissed his eyelashes, cheeks, the tip of his straight nose, and his soft and moist lips.
Lei Shengjiang's misty eyes were sparkling with tears, and his young and handsome face was blushing.
Xiaobao, who had initiated the kiss, also realized it later and blushed. She coaxed him softly and gently patted his back soothingly, "...Be good, let's do it again."
"Um……"
Lei Shengjiang kissed him back gently, like a well-behaved kitten rubbing against someone.
Under Xiaobao's gentle guidance and comfort, Lei Shengjiang's mentality gradually calmed down. He was no longer overly nervous, and the anxiety and depression caused by the first time he did it too quickly also dissipated.
This time.
Both of them felt good.
Xiaobao hugged his husband tightly with both hands, his brows slightly furrowed again, his face flushed rosyly because of the unspeakable joy and embarrassment, he was deeply moved.
The red waves surge.
A sleepless night.
I don’t know how long I slept before Xiaobao - Miao Yurui slowly woke up.
The body is soft.
Miao Yurui moved his legs a little uncomfortably, feeling an indescribable soreness in his waist, and even more so somewhere... Thinking of those things that broke the etiquette last night, his face and ears suddenly turned red, and the dryness of his body also made him feel much more comfortable.
It was Lei Shengjiang who cleaned up for him afterwards.
By then he was so weak that he couldn't even lift a hand, and the heat from the stench made his head dizzy, and before he knew it he fell asleep - or rather, passed out.
Miao Yurui touched the cold quilt beside him, feeling a little regretful. His young husband was not there. He should have woken up a long time ago and was probably making breakfast.
Lei Shengjiang was influenced by his father Zhou Yi. He was used to seeing his father Zhou Yi cooking for his father Lei Li every day to make his father happy. He followed suit and learned how to cook from Zhou Yi at a young age, and then tried to please his brother Xiaobao.
The iron rule that "a husband must cook for his wife" has been deeply engraved in his mind.
Before getting married, Lei Shengjiang always said that she would cook for Brother Xiaobao every day. After getting married, she naturally did not slack off and got up early to make breakfast.
Miao Yurui lay in bed thinking about random things for a long time. Seeing that Lei Shengjiang had not come back yet, he decided to get up and look for him. As soon as he lifted the thick bed curtains, the overly bright light glared into his eyes.
Near noon, sunlight shone through the window, making the room bright.
This was the first time Miao Yurui got up so late since he started studying at the village school, and it was also the first day of his marriage.
He felt a little guilty.
Generally speaking, a newlywed husband or daughter-in-law will get up early in the first three days after marriage, clean the house and make breakfast, leaving a good impression of diligence and efficiency on the in-laws.
If the husband's family is understanding, they will let the newlywed husband or daughter-in-law get up at the hour of Si, which is around noon, neither too early nor too late. This shows respect for the parents-in-law and is considerate to the newlyweds.
It was almost noon for Miao Yurui's son.
His face flushed and his heart was filled with guilt, but he also felt somewhat relieved and thought, fortunately, Father Li and Father Yi were not at home, otherwise he would not know how to face them...
After passing the imperial examination two years ago, Lei Shengjiang left the village school and went to the county school. He usually lived in the county school dormitory and only went home for the two days of monthly leave at the end of each month.
The Lei family used to move back to the village from the county town to make it easier for Lei Shengjiang to study and make friends in the village school. Since he went to the county school, they naturally moved back to the county.
Before marriage, Lei Shengjiang lived with his father Lei Li and his family. Miao Yurui mostly worked as a teacher in the village. Sometimes he came to the county town and also lived in the Miao family's house.
After the wedding, Xiao Fufu moved into the new house. Lei Li, Zhou Yi, Miao Fulang, Zhang Daqiang and others did not move in anymore, leaving their time to be with Xiao Fufu.
The couple is very much in love with each other. Who knows, they might even get pregnant soon and give them a cute and lively baby.
Lei Li also discussed the matter of having a child with Miao Yurui before marriage.
"No rush."
Lei Li said with a smile, "My brother's pregnancy is not as smooth as yours. Let's just let nature take its course and give birth whenever we get pregnant."
"If you're lucky enough to have two children, your father and I intend for one to take your surname Miao and the other Lei. As for whether they're a boy or a girl, it's up to you."
"If there is only one child, then we will give him the surname Miao, and Jiang will be considered the one who married into the family."
Miao Yurui immediately declined, saying he couldn't do it.
He knew that Uncle Li and Uncle Yi were good to him, and he also knew that Grandma Liu and Grandpa Dashan were good people. If they had two children, they would definitely not object if one of them had the same surname as him, Miao.
But if there is only one child, whether it is a boy or a girl, he should also be named Lei after Jiang...
Uncle Li and the others have been so good to him. No matter whether Zhou Zhou gets married or marries a son-in-law in the future, he can't help but think about Jiang and leave a bloodline for the Lei family.
Ginger wants to study and become an official.
He didn't want others to use this criticism to look down on Sheng Jiang, saying that he was a son-in-law, had no ambition, and didn't even have a child with his own surname.
Scholars looked down on sons-in-law who married into their wives' families, believing that they were greedy for their wife's family's money, had no backbone and no ambition, and therefore relied on their brothers' women for a living.
Officials are even more fond of serving people according to the situation.
If he was a son of a royal relative, even if Jiang was married into the family and the child took his surname, people would only say that he had a good father-in-law and a good husband who could support his career.
It's a pity that he was just a farmer's son born in the countryside, even though he was not ashamed of his background.
Miao Yurui thought a lot at that moment. The more he thought about how good Jiang and the Lei family were to him, the more he was unwilling to agree to Lei Li's proposal.
"Don't overthink it."
Lei Li smiled, his tone light and soothing, "We still have Zhou Zhou at home. When he grows up, he can find a son-in-law and the child will have the surname Lei."
"If you're really worried, I'll make a rule tomorrow. My boys and girls are only looking for sons-in-law, not for marriage. If you like a man, you can spend money to marry him. I don't believe there's anyone I can't afford."
If someone is not tempted by money, he has the strength and means to knock him unconscious and carry him back to be his son-in-law.
Lei Li's tone was humorous, and Miao Yurui was amused. He pursed his lips and smiled before saying, "Well... I'll ask Sheng Jiang and Daddy first. If they are both willing, I will follow Daddy."
The first father is called Miao Fulang, and the second father is Lei Li.
When Lei Shengjiang heard Miao Yurui talking about this, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly before she finished speaking. His face flushed, he looked shy and expectant.
"Okay, okay, baby, let's take Brother Xiaobao's surname... and Yurui's, and call ourselves Miao Jiangjiang, okay?"
Lei Shengjiang has stubbornly called Xiaobao by his given name Yurui since they got engaged, but years of habit have made him always blurt out "Brother Xiaobao" before quickly changing his words.
This guy was afraid that if he called him brother too much, Brother Xiaobao would really treat him as a younger brother instead of a husband.
"Miao Jiangjiang?"
Miao Yurui laughed and thought it was very interesting. "Why this name? Doesn't it clash with Sheng Jiang?"
"This way we can have both yurui and ginger!"
Lei Shengjiang's tone was sticky and sweet. He was the husband of a scholar, but he still spoke like a child. It was because he was used to acting like a spoiled child in front of Miao Yurui, so he always acted like a spoiled child subconsciously.
"Just like Zhou Zhou, Lei Zhou Zhou, it has both daddy and A'ddie, which sounds nice and easy to remember, but... every time I call Zhou Zhou, I feel like I'm calling A'ddie's nickname."
Lei Shengjiang covered his mouth and laughed.
Miao Yurui couldn't help but laugh. A flash of inspiration struck her, and she mischievously revealed his thoughts. "Jiang Jiang is also Sheng Jiang's nickname. Does Sheng Jiang want me to think of Sheng Jiang every time I call her Jiang Jiang?"
"……Yes."
Lei Shengjiang's face flushed at first, and he whispered shyly, "If I'm not at home in the future and I'm out doing things, Jiang Jiang will accompany Yu Rui, just like I accompany you. Then Yu Rui and Jiang Jiang will not be lonely."
"How can the little baby be so thoughtful?"
Miao Yurui burst into laughter, pinched Lei Shengjiang's smooth face, and suddenly teased him maliciously using his nickname, "Has our baby Jiang also learned bad habits?"
"No, I didn't learn bad things..."
Lei Shengjiang's face turned even redder.
It was because of Miao Yurui's charming face when she chuckled, the tone of voice she used to tease him, and the embarrassment of being called by his nickname, which made him feel so ashamed that he wanted to run away.
Miao Yurui knew that her young husband was shy, so she didn't tease him too much. Instead, she seriously accepted the name Miao Jiangjiang.
"Listen to us, Jiang. When we have a child in the future, we'll name him Miao Jiang Jiang."
Miao Yurui later told his biological father, Miao Fulang, about these two things: Lei Li's proposal and the naming of Lei Shengjiang.
Miao Fulang's eyes were wet for a moment. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, held his hand, and said that Shengjiang was a good child and he would live a good life with Shengjiang in the future.
"I know."
Miao Yurui answered at that time.
Now that they are married, his answer is even more so.
Miao Yurui looked at her young husband who came in from the door, looking shy but with joy in his eyes. She called his name sweetly and said that he had made breakfast and prepared warm water for washing.
He thought, someone who would get up early to make breakfast for you, and who would not bear to wake you up when he saw you were asleep, and would pull down the curtains to block the light for you.
Of course he thought he was very good and wanted to live a good life with him for the rest of his life.
