Chapter 306 307 I still want to hug Zhou Zhou
It has been three days since Lin Zhong married into the Changning Marquis's mansion.
During the Dayou Dynasty, there was a custom that married children would return to their parents' home three days after marriage. This was also an indispensable etiquette, which officially ended the entire wedding.
Therefore, on the morning of the third day, Lei Zhouzhou had to accompany Lin back to the Duke Su's Mansion and bring pairs of "return gifts" and "return money", which meant that the couple would be a pair and live together for a hundred years. If it was an odd number, it would be unlucky.
However, considering that Lin Zhong was expelled from the Duke Su's Mansion and his name was removed from the family tree, the situation would most likely not be good when he returned.
——I didn’t expect it to be so bad.
“…”
Lei Zhouzhou glanced at the tightly closed gate of the Duke of Su's Mansion, then at the sullen Lin Zhong, and quickly said, "It's okay. Maybe the mansion didn't know we were coming. I'll go knock on the door."
"No."
Lin Zhong held Zhou Zhou's wrist, shook his head slightly, and then glanced at the Duke of Su's Mansion with a serious look. Returning to the parents' home after three days of marriage was a fixed etiquette, and his mother couldn't have forgotten it.
"Zhou Zhou, let's go back."
"But……"
Lei Zhouzhou originally wanted to say that this was not in accordance with etiquette. Lin Zhong has always attached great importance to etiquette. This is also one of the few opportunities to return to the Duke Su's Mansion in a reasonable and open manner. He was afraid that Lin Zhong would regret it if he didn't go in to take a look.
But seeing the resistance in Lin Zhong's eyes, he changed his tone and said, "Then let's go back first, leave the things at the gatehouse, and come visit again another day."
"……Um."
Lin Zhong and Lei Zhouzhou were carrying the return gifts they had brought and wanted to leave them at the gatehouse, but unexpectedly the gatehouse said with an embarrassed smile that it was not allowed to leave things there in the mansion, and even Lei Zhouzhou's attempt to give them some money was not tolerated.
Lin Zhong's expression suddenly became even gloomier.
There was no such rule in the Duke Su's Mansion before.
There are many people who come to the Duke Su's Mansion to ask for help or to visit, but not everyone is qualified to enter the Mansion. The gifts and visiting cards they bring are all left at the gatehouse.
The doorman asked the visitor's name and the reason for the visitor's mission and passed it on to the housekeeper. The housekeeper then classified the situation and decided whether to report it to the mistress of the mansion, Princess Henghuan.
If the visitor is from a small family, the doorman may not know the person and may not be willing to convey the message, and may not allow the visitor to leave anything. However, if you give him some silver, he will show some favor and accept the item and hand it over to the housekeeper.
But what was his status and family background with Lei Zhouzhou? How could this gatekeeper not know him? Moreover, he was the gatekeeper on the day he was kicked out of the Duke of Suguo's Mansion.
Mother--
No, Princess Henghuan was deliberately targeting him and Zhou Zhou.
Back on the carriage, everything was the same as when we came here, and it was the same when we returned to Changning Marquis' Mansion. The carefully prepared return gifts and return money seemed a little ridiculous. What was the point of "returning home" when we couldn't even enter the gate.
Lin Dianzhong's expression remained grim.
"Lin Zhong..."
Lei Zhouzhou held his hand and wanted to say something to comfort him.
Lin Zhong spoke first, his voice soft and low, revealing a depressed mood, "I'm sorry, Zhou Zhou, I made you feel wronged."
His face no longer had the rage and suppressed coldness that it had just shown, but instead it became dark and guilty, as if he had caused Zhou Zhou a great injustice.
"I...haven't been wronged."
Lei Zhouzhou was a little confused. He didn't know why Lin Zhong said that. Instead, he was worried that Lin Zhong would be too sad. After all, he was rejected by his biological parents.
However, Lei Zhouzhou wasn't very good at comforting people. He racked his brains before coming up with a few words, "As the saying goes, a mother and son don't hold grudges overnight. Besides, you're such a good person. The Duke's wife must just be confused for the time being. Everything will be fine once she figures it out."
"She's the most insightful person. How could she not understand? She simply chose the Duke Su's Mansion over me and gave up on me."
There was a hint of mockery and coldness in Lin Zhong's tone. He was sad, but not much. He was familiar with his mother's personality and had guessed the result long ago.
Lei Zhouzhou found it a little difficult to understand what he said.
His father and grandfather didn't like him and Lin Zhong being together before, but he didn't stop them. Instead, he taught him how to get along with others in relationships, how to communicate with each other, and slowly guided him to become more mature.
Of course, if he falls in love with a bad person, or if he thinks the person is good but his daddy and grandpa thinks not, his daddy and grandpa will change their strategy from semi-free-range to intervening and adjusting his feelings.
But not as extreme as Princess Henghuan.
If they found that he was stubborn and insisted on being with a bad person, his father and uncle would temporarily give up trying to stop him after trying to persuade him, and let him reap the consequences.
It was impossible for their family to drive him out of the Changning Marquis's Mansion, remove his name from the family tree, and lock the door tightly and not see him when he returned.
No matter how angry or disappointed his father was, he would never break off relations with him. He also couldn't hurt his father to such an angry and disappointed degree. After all, they were blood relatives.
But you can't say this to Lin Zhong.
It was because of him that Lin Zhong severed ties with the Duke Su's Mansion and his parents. He was the only one left for Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong had a mocking look on his face and lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes trembling, just like a puppy that was abandoned but was still trying to save face by howling to show that he was brave and not afraid at all, which made him feel sad.
"You still have me."
Lei Zhouzhou hugged Lin Zhong and patted his back gently.
"I have Zhou Zhou."
Lin Zhong also hugged Lei Zhouzhou back, buried his head in his neck, and gently sniffed the light peach blossom fragrance on his body. His face suddenly felt a little hot as he sniffed it.
Lei Zhouzhou applied the box of body cream again, and Lin Zhong helped her apply it inch by inch.
Lei Zhouzhou said that they were a couple, and she did not avoid him at all when applying the ointment. When she applied the ointment to his back, there were some places he could not reach, and he suspected that he could not apply it evenly, so he asked Lin Zhong to help him, and he finished applying it all over his body in one go.
After rubbing, the skin felt fragrant and smooth, and the thin inner garment revealed a faint hint of spring beauty. Lin Zhong, who was already distracted and unable to resist the temptation, immediately became alert.
When Lei Zhouzhou saw him, he asked him if he wanted to have sex.
After getting married, they only had intimate relations on their wedding night. On the first night, they just slept under the quilt. Lin Zhong was afraid that he would press on Lei Zhouzhou's arm again, so he deliberately kept a distance from her.
Lin Zhong is introverted and easily shy. Even though they became husband and wife, he really wanted to be close to Zhou Zhou, but he couldn't say or do anything to take the initiative to ask for sex.
Lei Zhouzhou is not a lustful person. Apart from kissing Lin Zhong on a whim, or asking for help when he sees Lin Zhong needs it, he would never think of doing it.
The book says that excessive indulgence in sex is harmful to the health of young people and should not be done too often.
——It seems like his father and father do it quite frequently? Every now and then, I see marks on his father's neck. Maybe they don't care about the frequency anymore.
So I did nothing on the first night and just slept.
The next day, when Lei Zhouzhou was taking a shower, he found that the fragrance on his body was almost faint, so he remembered to apply ointment. Then when he saw Lin Zhong wanted it, he asked, and then they naturally rolled together.
Maybe Lin Zhong is very talented and can learn this aspect very quickly.
With the experience of the first time, Lin Zhong adapted quickly and became much more skillful, feeling more comfortable than the first time. Afterwards, Lei Zhouzhou praised him a lot and then... for some reason, he rolled over again.
But what Dad said was indeed right. Appropriate praise would indeed make the husband happy. Lei Zhouzhou felt that Lin Zhong was obviously much more excited the second time than the previous time.
At that time, Lei Zhouzhou thought that he could praise Lin Zhong more often... Next time, try praising him during the process, he should be happier, right?
But now, Lei Zhouzhou was comforting Lin Zhong. She never expected that Lin Zhong, such a modest and humble gentleman, would think of so many sad things that could not be told to outsiders after just a simple hug.
Lin Zhong took a deep sniff stealthily before reluctantly letting go of Zhou Zhou's hand. His fingers curled up unconsciously as he wanted to smell whether his fingers were stained with the scent of peach blossoms.
"Thank you, Zhou Zhou."
"fine."
Lei Zhouzhou shook his head slightly. Noticing that he felt much better after being hugged, he asked him again, "Do you want me to hold you for a while longer? We're still some distance away from the Changning Marquis Mansion. If you're still sad, I can hold you again."
His father once said that when you don’t know how to comfort others, giving them a hug can make them feel much better.
"I……"
Lin Zhong subconsciously wanted to say no, because he felt that he was a bit clingy and seemed a bit weak, which made him, who was used to being strong and independent, feel a little embarrassed.
But then he thought, he and Zhou Zhou are husband and wife, and Zhou Zhou has said that husband and wife are one. If there is anything or anything he wants to do, he can tell Zhou Zhou directly, and...
Zhou Zhou seemed to like his clinginess.
"I still want to hug Zhou Zhou."
Lin Zhong said softly, revealing his true feelings like this made him feel a little embarrassed and his face flushed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lei Zhouzhou hugged him tightly, and gently and soothed him, "Let's hug for a while. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me. I have plenty of time to listen."
"We are husband and wife."
—
It has been nearly half a month since I married into the Changning Marquis Mansion.
It is very different from the Duke Su's Mansion. Everyone in the Duke Su's Mansion has their own courtyard. Unless he pays respects to his parents or has something to say, Lin Zhong will hardly set foot in the main courtyard, nor will he go to the courtyard where his brother and sister-in-law live.
The same goes for others.
Although they live in the same mansion, everyone basically lives under his own roof.
His parents would not come to his yard unless there was something important. His brother was the commander of the Kyoto Guard and had to be stationed at the Kyoto Guard camp. He would only go home on days off. The Seventh Princess was a female member of the family and would not go to Lin Zhong unless there was something important to avoid suspicion.
When eating with parents and family, we also follow the rules and go there at regular times. We usually eat in our own yard, and each yard has a separate kitchen.
In the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, everyone eats three meals together every day. There is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. They can say whatever they want and often make each other laugh.
Normally, everyone would visit each other's yards.
Miao Yurui would bring Xiao Yuzhu to play with Lei Zhouzhou, and Lei Zhouzhou would often run to the main courtyard to chat with his father and grandfather. Lei Shengjiang would not be shy about not coming to Lei Zhouzhou's courtyard because he was the older brother.
Lei Jingsheng and Qingzhi like to travel. Every time they go out, they will bring gifts for every family member, even dried fish for every cat in the house.
