Chapter 301 302. Stop saying those mean things!
Before Lei Zhouzhou's marriage, shortly after Lei Zhouzhou's birthday, in mid-February, there was another major event in Changning Marquis Mansion, which was Miao Yurui's examination for the title of scholar.
Candidates for the Tongsheng exam were either young talented people or relatively dull people. They had to take the exam several or even dozens of times before they could pass.
Therefore, the value of the Tongsheng examination is the lowest among the civil examinations. Only those who can pass the academy examination and become a scholar can be considered to have officially entered the circle of literati.
When Miao Yurui got the first place in the Tongsheng examination, many people in the capital criticized him and the Changning Marquisate, thinking that he only won the first place by luck, and would definitely be embarrassed if he faced the academy examination or the provincial examination with more talented people.
But it's a pity.
Miao Yurui once again stood out with the first place in the college examination. The Changning Marquis Mansion became famous again, and Lei Li walked with a proud look on his face again.
However, before one storm had subsided, another storm arose. Before Lei Li could show off for a few days, his good relative, the Duke of Suguo's Mansion, brought the Marquis of Changning's Mansion to the capital for heated discussion.
Lin Zhong and the Duke Su's Mansion split up.
Who divided it?
It was indeed Lin Zhong and the Duke of Suguo's Mansion that split up, not Lin Zhong and Lei Zhouzhou?
Every family in Kyoto was in disbelief, especially those close to the Duke Su's Mansion. When they received the news, they could not contain themselves and immediately sent people to the Duke Su's Mansion to confirm it.
It's really a breakup.
For some reason, Princess Henghuan became furious, and Duke Su was so angry that he removed his youngest son Lin Zhong from the family tree and drove Lin Zhong out of Duke Su's mansion.
Everyone in the Duke Su's mansion saw it, and the ordinary people on the street also saw it.
"When Young Master Lin was driven out, he had nothing on him. Even his sword was taken away by the Duke's Mansion. The door, several meters tall, slammed shut!"
"Young Master Lin even knelt down in front of the gate and kowtowed three times. Seeing that the door remained open and no one paid any attention to him, he left with a horrible expression on his face!"
"What are you talking about? He's bowing to thank his parents for raising him. But after that, it's all over and there's no going back!"
"I even saw him heading towards the Changning Marquisate... Hey, what do you think? Will the Changning Marquisate still marry him? He has nothing now, just like us ordinary people."
"Didn't Lin Zhong have a job in the palace? Did he lose that job too?"
Of course it was lost.
The first requirement for the imperial guards is that they must be princes, meritorious officials, or sons of royal nobles. At the very least, they must be top military scholars. The second requirement is high appearance and talent.
Now that Lin Zhong has left the Duke Su's Mansion, he is no longer the son of a noble family, nor has he passed the military imperial examination and is not a military scholar. According to the rules, he can no longer serve as an imperial guard, even though he is already a third-class, fifth-rank guard.
Given that Lin Zhong is penniless, will the Changning Marquisate still accept him and agree to his marriage with their own Lei Zhouzhou?
Of course.
Lin Zhong, who was driven out of his home and was considered pitiful by others, was now living comfortably in the Changning Marquis Mansion, right next to the Qiufeng Courtyard where Lei Zhouzhou lived.
and--
"Dad and A'da asked us if we could get married on March 18th. It's a good day for everything."
Lei Zhouzhou came to find Lin Zhong for dinner and asked, "There's also Grain in Ear on April 3rd and May 10th, which are both good dates, and they both match our birth dates. There are also a few good days in autumn."
"I……"
Lin Zhong blushed slightly. He naturally thought the sooner the better, but he was afraid Zhou Zhou would think he was too impatient. "Which date do you and your uncle prefer?"
"March 18th, maybe."
Lei Zhouzhou said without hesitation, "Everything has been prepared for the wedding at the mansion. Daddy said that it's better to get married sooner rather than later. I also think it's better to get married sooner rather than later. It would be a bit regrettable if it was delayed for too long."
Lin Zhong had liked him for eight years, during which he pursued him for more than a year, and they were in a relationship for nearly four years, which made Lei Zhouzhou feel a little embarrassed.
Not to mention the young ladies from the aristocratic families in Kyoto, even in the most open city of Xiling Prefecture, there are very few boys and girls who wait until they are twenty to get married. Usually, they marry late because their families are poor, or they are too ugly or sick to get married.
But Lei Zhouzhou had no illness and his family background was excellent.
His father said that he could not get married before the age of 20. Later, when he asked, he found out that his father had lied to him. Lin Zhong must have realized it as well.
He dragged it on for four years for no reason, and rumors spread all over the capital, but Lin Zhong had no complaints and never urged him once. Lei Zhouzhou was naturally touched and a little guilty.
"Zhou Zhou, don't feel bad."
Lin Zhong heard this and said repeatedly, his tone solemn and full of satisfaction, "As long as Zhou Zhou can be with me, I am very satisfied. It doesn't matter to me whether we get married early or late. What matters is that Zhou Zhou and I are in tune with each other."
"If Zhou Zhou likes March 18th, then we'll get married on March 18th. If Zhou Zhou likes autumn, then we'll get married in autumn. I'm willing to do either."
Lin Zhong was not afraid of anything, he was only afraid that Lei Zhouzhou would leave him.
"I know."
Lei Zhouzhou pursed her lips and smiled, saying lightly, "Actually, according to my opinion, it doesn't matter whether we get married early or late. We are in tune with each other, and I am willing to marry you at the age of seventeen or eighteen."
"But I promised my father and grandfather that I can only get married after I turn 20. I feel that I have wronged you. Now it is naturally better to get married earlier."
"I'm not wronged."
Lin Zhongdao.
"Are you really not wronged?"
Lei Zhouzhou glared at him with his inky black eyes, glancing at his crotch. His tone was serious and straightforward, "Every time I kiss you, you have a reaction. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
“……!”
Lin Zhong blushed immediately.
They were on the corridor of the mansion. When Lin Zhong heard Lei Zhouzhou's words, he subconsciously looked around quickly and was relieved to see that there was no one around.
Zhou Zhou's straightforwardness sometimes makes people's hearts flutter, and sometimes makes people feel frightened...
How can you say such things outside?
Lin Zhong just thought so in his heart, and then quickly shook his head, feeling that it was wrong to think so. No matter where he said it, it was inappropriate, because they had not yet gotten married!
Lin Zhong's face flushed all the way to his neck. Lei Zhouzhou thought he looked good when he blushed, but was also a little puzzled. "What are you thinking about? Why are you blushing again?"
"Not what I thought."
Lin Zhong covered his face in embarrassment, his voice unconsciously lowered, "It's Zhou Zhou, you... you always say things like this that can lead to misunderstandings."
"?"
Lei Zhouzhou was puzzled, "What did I say that caused misunderstanding?"
"that is……"
Lin Zhong hesitated, and he was too embarrassed to repeat it out of courtesy and emotion.
Lei Zhouzhou thought for a moment and said, "Are you saying that I just said you couldn't bear it?"
“…”
Lin Zhong's face turned even redder. He didn't dare to look at Lei Zhouzhou and only responded with a "hmm" in a low voice.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lei Zhouzhou take a step closer to him, and the distance between them instantly shortened. He unconsciously had an indescribable reaction.
"Isn't this a normal thing?"
Lei Zhouzhou asked, tilting his head slightly, his moist, clear black eyes fixed on him. "I occasionally have this reaction, too. In the morning or at night when I'm dreaming, if I resist touching it, it really does feel uncomfortable."
"Isn't that the case with you?"
"I……"
Lin Zhong was at a loss for words when asked. Although Lei Zhouzhou always said shocking things, he was still frightened by Lei Zhouzhou's boldness and subconsciously took a step back.
"Isn't it?"
Lei Zhouzhou, with a strong thirst for knowledge, took a step forward, pressing him. "You should react more often than me, right? You're a man, and the book says that men have stronger sexual desires than men, and react more often in the morning and evening."
"And sometimes when you see me, or when I kiss you, you react, and it seems like the desire is quite strong. It would be very uncomfortable to keep holding it back, right?"
"I can't help you before we get married, but after we get married, if you want me to, I um..."
"Stop talking..."
Lin Zhong finally couldn't help but cover Lei Zhouzhou's mouth. He was trembling all over because of these vicious words. His knuckles were red and he felt extremely embarrassed.
He had a bad feeling from the moment Lei Zhouzhou caught up with him, but Lei Zhouzhou kept talking about how she could help him after they got married...
What's the difference between this and being a hooligan in broad daylight?
Lin Zhong himself didn't dare to think so, but Lei Zhouzhou said it clearly.
Whenever he thought of those mornings when his body reacted, those chaotic and beautiful dreams in which he heard Lei Zhouzhou's whispers and gasps, he could no longer suppress the restlessness of his body.
If the robe he wore today had not been loose, Lei Zhouzhou would have seen his loss of composure.
"Um?"
Lei Zhouzhou's mouth was covered, and his dark eyes blinked with a look of pure confusion, which made Lin Zhong feel that he was deeply guilty.
"Sorry, Zhou Zhou."
Lin Zhong finished speaking in a low voice, loosened his hand, and hurried back to his own yard. "I'm not going to eat yet. Zhou Zhou, please tell my uncle and the others..."
"Um?"
Lei Zhouzhou grabbed his hand and asked, "Why don't you eat suddenly? Aren't you hungry?"
Lin Zhong is hungry now, but he is also hungry in another way. If he sees Lei Zhouzhou again, he will not be able to bear it.
"I just... don't want to eat."
"Are you sick?"
Lei Zhouzhou asked, "Your face is so red, it's not just because you're shy, is it? Do you have a fever? Should I bring you some porridge and some side dishes?"
"Need not……"
Lin Zhong turned around to look at him, almost suffocating with embarrassment. He opened his mouth, but finally said in a very low voice, "I just want to go back and calm down."
calm?
Lei Zhouzhou paused before realizing what he meant by calming down. "Do you want to go back and take a cold shower? But I read in a book that holding back a cold shower is bad for your health. You should just relieve yourself."
“…”
Lin Zhong was nearly knocked offline by his words. He gritted his teeth and sighed angrily, "Zhou Zhou... sometimes I really hate you for being such a blockhead. Do you even know what you're talking about?"
"I know."
Lei Zhouzhou, on the contrary, felt that Lin Zhong was a little stupid, since he spoke clearly and concisely.
"If you want to go back, go ahead. I'll tell Daddy and Father. When you're done, I'll bring the meal over to you."
