The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 65 Old Stories [-]

On the way to Longnan from Jinling City, they passed by a stream. Lu Yunjin filled the water with leaves and handed it to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu took a sip.

Lu Yunjin took another sip.

Jiang Liu was stunned.

Lu Yunjin smiled, with two shallow dimples on his lips.

"Idiot, why are you so stupid?"

Jiang Liu blushed: "I'll send you to Longnan, and then I'll leave. You, I..."

Lu Yunjin's eyes widened: "Aren't you going to marry me? Why did you leave me alone?"

Jiang Liu: "???"

Lu Yunjin's face turned red with anger: "My innocence has been ruined by you. You never thought of marrying me! You scoundrel!"

She really felt that the blow to her chest had ruined her innocence.

Jiang Liu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "This is what you said. You want to marry me yourself. Don't regret it when I really destroy your innocence."

As early as when I took out the money from her chest.

Or when he was shirtless and she breathed cool air on his chest with her mouth.

Or when she hugged him from behind.

After spending several months with such a woman day and night, it is absolutely impossible to say that I have never had any evil thoughts.

When she slept next door with a wall apart, when he secretly took out the erotic pictures Zhao Yuan gave him at night and looked at them, it was her who he fantasized about...

It's just this dirty thought that he could only hide in his heart before.

……

When they lived in a remote village in Longnan for more than two months, enthusiastic villagers asked them why they were not married yet.

Lu Yunjin blushed and said nothing.

Jiang Liu then said to the villagers: "We have no elders, and we are at home all over the world. We are in love and want to get married, but we don't know what the steps are. Can the villagers do you a favor and help us organize the wedding? Jiang Liu would like to thank you." Got it!"

The villagers agreed happily.

Aunt Zhu next door was the most enthusiastic. She went to several stores and borrowed some braziers and other things used by others for their weddings, which saved them a lot of money.

He also helped them decorate their new house.

When she was making arrangements, she secretly said to Lu Yunjin: "I can see that you are a young lady, and you eloped with this boy, right? You haven't experienced hardship since you were a child, so you don't know. Real life depends on every cent of firewood, rice, oil and salt." , It’s definitely not as easy as the life you had before.”

Lu Yunjin glanced at Jiang Liu who was cutting wood and burning water outside.

"But the two months I spent in Qingshui Village were the happiest times in my life."

She used to practice calligraphy, painting, reading "Women's Virtues", memorizing poems, dancing and playing the piano every day at home...

She was very tired of living like this.

But in Qingshui Village, she could listen to the aunts talking about all kinds of interesting things, watch the children quarrel over trivial matters, and then quickly hold hands and jump around the fields.

She could swat at butterflies, catch grasshoppers, take off her shoes and socks, put her feet into the cold stream, and play with Jiang Liu by splashing water until both of them were soaked.

No one scolded her for losing her manners, and no one talked to her about family matters.

Only Jiang Liu carried her home when she accidentally became lame.

He would rub her ankles with a blushing face, his calloused hands gentle and warm.

……

The day before her wedding, Lu Yunjin spent a long time applying her makeup in the mirror, but nothing turned out to be satisfactory.

No matter what kind of makeup she is, she has done it before and showed it to others.

But she wanted to show him a makeup look that had never been seen before on her wedding day, which belonged only to him.

Jiang Liu looked at her face for a while, dipped some cinnabar on his fingertips, and drew a phoenix flower between her eyebrows.Lu Yunjin looked at the bright but not demonic red at the tip of his eyebrows in the mirror, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

……

On the wedding night, Jiang Liu took out a picture of erotic pictures. After Lu Yunjin saw it, he regretted it.

"If that's the case, forget it." Lu Yunjin sat on the wedding bed, her cheeks as red as the dragon and phoenix candles, "It's too scary, I can't accept it."

She thought that the bridal chamber was all about cuddling, and cuddling in her pajamas.

It is clear that you can get pregnant by holding hands, so why would you do such a thing?

Jiang Liu couldn't just give up.

After finally coaxing her into the bridal chamber, how could her daughter-in-law still run away when she got into her mouth?

Jiang Liu hugged her tightly from behind, kissed her in the ear, and followed her lead.
Lu Yunjin thought to herself that she had agreed to get married. Would it make her look shameless to go back on it now?
She closed her eyes tightly as if she were dead. Jiang Liu knew that she agreed. He was so happy that he hugged her and kissed her again and again.

At dawn, Lu Yunjin glanced at the sweet sleeping man next to him
Only then did she feel that she was at a disadvantage, so she burst into tears and scolded him for waking him up, calling him a liar.

Jiang Liu couldn't coax her anymore, so he hugged her tightly and promised her over and over again.

"Madam, my life is yours, yours alone. If you're still angry, just kill me..."

He used to look down on a man who valued sex over friends. Women were not like that, how could they be compared to brothers who shared weal and woe.

But now he has fallen in.

He thought to himself that he would never be able to live without a wife.

……

After having a daughter-in-law, Jiang Liu became even more motivated.

He did well in a dyeing workshop and caught the attention of his employer, who promoted him to the position of manager and doubled his monthly income several times.

……

After the wedding night, Lu Yunjin felt pain when walking for several days, so she never wanted to talk to him.

Until one month later, he limped into the yard, covered in mud, with a fawning smile on his face, holding the hot, clean apricot blossom cake in his arms. , give it to her.

Lu Yunjin couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you wipe your face?"

Jiang Liu said: "I was afraid that my wife's apricot blossoms would get cold, so I fell in a hurry to get back, so I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly got up and ran home."

In fact, he was tripped up by someone in the dyehouse. The man was jealous that he was in charge and tampered with his ladder.

He fell from a height and was in great pain, but fortunately his muscles and bones were not injured.

Afraid that Lu Yunjin would be careless, he went to roll in the mud and pretended that he had fallen.

His daughter-in-law was not one to swallow her anger. That day, she heard someone say a few words to him, but she scolded him and refused to spare her every word.

He thought, it would be better to do less than to do more.

Lu Yunjin held his sleeve with one hand to wipe the dirt from his face.

Jiang Liu avoided it and said, "It's dirty. I can just wash it myself."

He refused to ask her to do any rough or dirty work.

He got up before dawn to wash the clothes, he cooked the food, and boiled the water. He never wanted to see her crying in front of the stove again.

She is a rich lady, he can't give her a big house, fine clothes and food, so he can only support her with his heart. He doesn't want to treat her badly.

Lu Yunjin ate apricot cake and watched him fetch a bucket of water from the well in the courtyard, wash his face, and then change his coat.

He was already thin, and he was getting thinner these days.

Lu Yunjin couldn't help but said: "You don't have to work so hard. It's a good life like this. In the future, you should go slower on your way back. Don't fall again."

Jiang Liu smiled at her: "Madam, do you feel sorry for me?"

Lu Yunjin said: "Otherwise, if you fall to death due to exhaustion, who will support me?"
