After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 110: Hold her troublesome finger
Qiao Jingjing felt a little strange.

The journey back to Xingzi Village is not close, and even on the way, we will be delayed for many days. In addition, after returning to Xingzi Village, we will definitely stay in Xingzi Village for a few days. This way, it will take more than half a day at least. It’s been months.

And as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is it really okay that he has been delayed for such a long time?

"Can you get a leave of absence?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi paused, and seeing the confusion on her face, he explained, "The emperor has something to entrust me to handle, and he happens to be in Chuzhou."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing understood, "That's it."

She just said that as Lu Xingzhi, as the official minister, how could he casually take leave for so long without the emperor's approval.

But if he has to go on errands, that's a different matter.

Xingzi Village is in Chuzhou.

Thinking of this, she asked: "Then if I don't mention it tonight, will my husband take me with him when he goes to Chuzhou?"

Lu Xingzhi paused and responded in a low voice, "Yes."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing felt a little warm in her heart, "So, do you remember the day when my father and Aunt Xu got married?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Seeing how good-tempered he was at this time, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but poke his arm with her finger, "Can you stop saying um um um all the time? What will happen if you say two more words?"

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, then suddenly held her troubled fingers and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned and looked down at the fingers held by him.

The atmosphere became a little tense for a while.

Seeing that he still didn't let go, Qiao Jingjing paused and playfully scratched his palm with her fingertips.

An unfamiliar itching feeling came from the palm of his hand. Lu Xingzhi was startled for a moment. When he realized it, he suddenly let go of his hand, but there was a blush on his fair and handsome face.

He turned his head unnaturally.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him and put her fingers behind her back.

But the warm touch seemed to still wrap around her fingers.

Her heart trembled, and she changed the subject and said, "Then when will we set off?"

"In a few days." Lu Xingzhi said in a low voice.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

It was a matter of resolution, and she was happy.

She originally thought that Lu Xingzhi would not agree so easily to her return to Xingzi Village, but things went surprisingly smoothly.

Since only members of my family attended the dinner, the dinner was still arranged at Dexin Hall.

When the couple arrived, Lu Xingyan and Lu Shuangshuang had already arrived first.

When Mother Lu saw that everyone had arrived, she ordered the banquet to begin.

After everyone sat down, Qiao Jingjing picked up her wine glass and said to Lu Xingyan: "Xingyan, I have heard what your brother said, you are really amazing. I wish you a bright future and good progress!"

Lu Xingyan was still feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable because he was rude to her outside the house during the day. But now he saw that she didn't seem to take it to heart and even toasted him, and he was a little flattered at the moment.

He picked up the cup and stood up quickly, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I'll do it first as a token of respect!" After that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing also drank all the wine in her glass.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table became better, and everyone toasted to congratulate Lu Xingyan.

Even Mother Lu, who never drank alcohol, asked Aunt Rong to pour a glass of wine for the first time. She looked at her two sons respectively, feeling both relief and motherly worry.

She said in a serious tone: "You two brothers must unite in harmony and support each other in the future. Especially Ayan, you can win the emperor's appreciation. Although it is due to your own efforts, it is actually inseparable from your elder brother. In the future, you will be appreciated by the emperor." After entering the palace, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and discuss everything with your brother."

Lu Xingyan nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I will follow the example of big brother."

"That's good." Mother Lu felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face again, "Come on, let's have a drink together."

Everyone then picked up their wine glasses.

After putting down the glass, Lu Xingyan poured another glass of wine, then picked it up and said to Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing: "Brother and sister-in-law, I dedicate this glass of wine to you two."

Qiao Jingjing was about to take the cup, but Lu Xingzhi took it away first.

"You've already drank a lot. Ayan and I can drink this cup." The man's tone left no room for doubt.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

This man is too domineering!
She watched helplessly as the two brothers drank the wine after clinking glasses, feeling depressed. Why did Lu Xingzhi still control her drinking?
She has a good capacity for drinking and her wine is good. She won't go crazy with alcohol. This man is too lenient. She was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't disobey him on her face.

If he doesn't let her drink, won't she drink in private?

She sneered in her heart, picked up her chopsticks, and diligently picked up the food for Lu Xingzhi.

"Husband, don't just focus on drinking. You must also eat some vegetables, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach soon."

Lu Xingzhi paused, turned to look at her, "Yeah."

But when he picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat the food she brought, his movements froze.

I saw that the bowl was full of chili peppers...

He paused for a moment and looked at the woman beside him.

Qiao Jingjing seemed not to notice, holding the bowl and drinking fish soup leisurely.

"This fish soup is really delicious."

"If you like it, drink more." Mother Lu said with a smile.

"Well, Mom, drink more," Qiao Jingjing said.

Lu Xingzhi withdrew his gaze and picked out the chili peppers in the bowl one by one.

Qiao Jingjing's eyes flashed, but she said with concern: "Husband, don't be picky about food. It's not good to be picky. You are already thin enough." As she spoke, she put a piece of beef into his bowl.

Others didn't even notice what Qiao Jingjing put in front of Lu Xingzhi. When they saw that she was giving Lu Xingzhi beef, they thought that Lu Xingzhi was really picky about food.

Mother Lu couldn't help but persuade her: "Axing, listen to Jingjing and don't be picky about food. You are indeed too thin."

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

He looked at the girl beside him who could barely conceal the pride on her lips, and narrowed her black eyes.

"Husband, eat more." When others didn't see it, Qiao Jingjing put some more chili peppers into his bowl.

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

He raised his hand and rubbed his brow.

After the banquet, the servants removed the food and served fruit refreshments again.

Mother Lu saw that it was still early, so she said to Qiao Jingjing: "Jingjing, did you bring your poker? Let's hit eighty points."

"Bring it." Qiao Jingjing nodded and took out the playing cards.

Seeing this, Father Lu was eager to give it a try, "I'll come too."

"I want to come too." Lu Shuangshuang said immediately, fearing that others would rob her like her.

Lu Xingyan, who originally wanted to join, had no choice but to give up.

After a few people sat down, they began to shuffle the cards, and then draw the cards.

Qiao Jingjing was in a group with Lu's mother, and Lu's father was in a group with Lu Shuangshuang.

Although Lu's father had played before, Lu Shuangshuang had never played before. He had only watched it. You can imagine how nervous they were as a group.

In the end, there was no doubt that the team of Father Lu and Lu Shuangshuang lost.

"Dad, it's all your fault. If you hadn't played your cards randomly, we would have advanced in this round." Lu Shuangshuang complained.

Father Lu laughed angrily at her, "What do you mean I played my cards randomly? Aren't you the one who played my cards randomly?"

Lu Shuangshuang said unconvinced, "It's obviously you who is right."

Qiao Jingjing felt funny listening to the argument between father and daughter.

She pushed the cards in front of the two of them, "The loser has to shuffle the cards."

Father Lu and Lu Shuangshuang reluctantly shuffled the cards.

Qiao Jingjing was a little thirsty and was about to ask someone to pour water, but at this moment, a cup was brought to the side.

She took it and said, "Thank you."

After she finished drinking, she turned her head and was about to return the cup, but saw Lu Xingzhi sitting next to her.

The man naturally reached out to take the empty cup she handed over, put it aside, and then asked: "What do you mean by the tractor you just mentioned?"
