The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 101
Ah Ju was awakened by the sound of Zhao Chen getting up.

The room was pitch black, Ah Ju instinctively hugged the man who was about to leave the bed, and asked sleepily, "Where are you going?"

Her hands are warm and make people greedy, Zhao Chen turned his head and said softly: "I want to go to the palace to be on duty, have you forgotten?"

Ah Ju suddenly became sober, and was about to get up: "I'll help you..."

"I can't bear it." Zhao Chen pushed him back firmly, "Now that I'm in the middle of the night, you have to rest after I'm gone, why bother? Go on to sleep, and you will take good care of me when I come back in the evening."

Ah Ju had no choice but to lie down obediently, looking up to watch him light the lamp.Outside, Nanny Jiang had already received orders, and arranged for Jin Shu and Jin Mo to serve early.Zhao Chen washed his hands and face by himself, then neatly put on his official uniform, changed into his boots and tied his belt, his movements were as chic as he wanted.Ah Ju was fascinated by the sight, but she didn't forget to remind him: "Leave after dinner."

"Well, sleep well, I'm leaving." Zhao Chen thoughtfully turned off the lights, walked to the edge of the kang with one in his hand, kissed Ah Ju at the end, and left without hesitation.

The curtain fell, and the room was once again plunged into darkness.

Ah Ju wrapped herself in the quilt, she was sleepy after all, and soon fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was already dawn.

Nanny Jiang went into the room to help Aju get dressed, her eyes kept on looking at Aju without any concealment.

Ah Ju glanced down.The neckline of the pajamas is relatively large, and there are several red marks on the shoulders that are dazzlingly red. Looking in along the neckline, there are more on the chest.Ah Ju couldn't lift her head at all, and pretended to be stupid without saying a word.Zhao Chen really didn't lie last night, after she turned around, he really went crazy, like a very hungry wolf, he gnawed her from head to toe, and even said what he said when he thought of embarrassing people, and his words became more and more explicit.

Mother Jiang looked at Ah Ju's blushing and charming face, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Husband and wife, don't feelings come from sleeping together in the same bed overnight?The quilt is sticky, which means that you like it in your heart. If you really don't touch it, it's basically over, and the man must have changed his mind.But she can't let the young couple mess around, the teenagers are greedy and ignorant, what if they hurt the child?
"Big girl..."

"Nurse, I know what you're going to say, don't worry, I, we didn't..." Understanding the elder's worry, Ah Ju quickly interjected, blushing and explaining clearly first.At that time, Zhao Chen wanted to come, because she was worried that something might happen, so he didn't let her go. Zhao Chen gave up after begging twice. He was even afraid that she would be tired, so he didn't need her to help. He didn't let her sleep, but still occupied her with his mouth.

When she said this, Mother Jiang was very pleased. Zhao Chen was able to do this, which showed that he cherished his wife and children in his heart.

After tidying up, Ah Ju ordered the kitchen to prepare meals early.

Mrs. Tai told her like that last night, and now she must be waiting for a reply. She has to go to Rongshou Hall to greet Mrs. Tai in a while. It is not appropriate to speak before a meal, and she doesn't want to eat at Rongshou Hall, so she has to eat first and go there again. Put on a show.

Breakfast is very simple, a bowl of porridge with mushrooms and lean meat, a plate of steamed buns, and next to them are diced watermelons grown in a greenhouse in the capital.

Aju first used a bamboo stick to pierce a diced watermelon into his mouth, it was sweet and juicy, and the remaining drowsiness disappeared.When she picked up the spoon and was about to drink the porridge, Ah Ju suddenly thought of something, and said to Lu Yun who was standing by and waiting, "Call Jin Shu Jin Mo in."

Lu Yun nodded, and soon led the two back.

Ah Ju sized up the two maidservants, Jin Shu seemed to be in good spirits, only the undersides of her eyes were a little dark, because her complexion was fair, which was obvious.Jin Mo was different, from entering the room to now, he turned around secretly and yawned twice.

Ah Ju couldn't help laughing, "You two are tired enough to get up early. In fact, it's enough for one person to serve him. In the future, the four of you will take turns." Whether in Dengzhou or the capital, their husband and wife live relatively well. If you are idle, the maids don't have to get up early.Now that Zhao Chen is on duty in the palace, the servant girls in the courtyard have to get up early.These personal servants are not bad, but the mothers-in-law and maids in the kitchen of the hot water room are even harder.

Although it is the servant's job to serve the master, but it suddenly adds to the tiring work, and I still can't help complaining in my heart.Ah Ju thought for a while, and let Lu Yun pass it on. From today onwards, these women and maids who need to get up early can each get 50% more monthly money.The monthly money comes from the public account of the Hou Mansion, and she pays the extra part.Now she has [-] taels of monthly money, and Zhao Chen often gives her silver bills in private, Ah Ju feels that she has so much money that she has nowhere to spend it.

"Grandma is really considerate, I will pass it on, and the little maids who are taking care of those who are still napping will be refreshed immediately!" Lu Yun replied with a smile.

Ah Ju smiled, and then asked Jin Shu, "Did the uncle eat when he left?"

Jin Shu immediately replied: "Go back to grandma, uncle used five steamed buns, and only had a few sips of porridge."

Ah Ju frowned, seeing that there was no steamed bun the size of her fist on the table, she couldn't help worrying whether Zhao Chen would be hungry.He is strong and strong, usually he can eat two baskets for breakfast, and he eats more when he is in a good mood. Now that he is busy, why only eat so little?No, you must tell him carefully when you come back, you would rather get up earlier than go out hungry.

After eating, it was still early, so Ah Ju went to the Rongshou Hall unhurriedly.

After the meal, the Zhao Qing brothers and sisters left, and Aju followed Madam Tai to the back room, Madam Tai still let her sit beside her, Aju sat down obediently, bowed her head and said: "Grandmother, I, I mentioned it to my husband last night. Yes, just now, my husband said that I don’t have him in my heart, and I pushed him away when he came back after leaving home for so long, I, I didn’t dare to say any more..."

While speaking, he clenched his fingers uneasily, but he thought of Zhao Chen again.After she turned around last night, Zhao Chen kept complaining that she was cruel and made him wait for so long, and then somehow thought of replying to Mrs. Tai, and told her to say so first, so as not to say that he looked down on her today. Mrs. Tai, the maid in the room, immediately found some outstanding ones for her.

Mrs. Tai pursed the corners of her mouth in disappointment, looked at the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law's fingers moving quietly, and then looked at her soft and beautiful face after being moisturized, I believed it.The wife is born like this, and it is a newlywed farewell, which man can not miss it?Not to mention the men from the Zhao family, for some reason, her old man had taken in a few concubines and made trouble for her all day long, but when it came to her sons and grandsons, they were all stupid, fascinated by a woman Fascinated.

Fortunately, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law is obedient.

She patted Ah Ju's hand amusedly, "You are stupid too, grandma just reminded you, who told you to say that last night? Cheng Yuan is so kind to you, and you are pregnant with his child again, he is happy , I will definitely stick to you for the next few days, but you can't have sex with him no matter what, and he will naturally loosen after a long time, and then you will mention the matter of embarrassing the maid."

Ah Ju showed a look of sudden realization, and said with some regret: "Grandmother is right, I am too stupid."

It was a little funny in my heart.

At first when Zhao Chen asked her to lie to Mrs. Tai, she still couldn't let it go, but now, the more Mrs. Tai pretends to be a loving mother, the more she gets used to it.

Leaving Rongshou Hall, Ah Ju went to Xinlan Garden in a happy mood.

Ning Shi, like Mother Jiang, was also a little worried about Zhao Chen's mischief, so Ah Ju blush again, but Ning Shi was clearly prepared, and he took out a booklet from the cabinet and gave it to her, saying that Zhao Chen couldn't get through it. You can take a look when you are dawdling.

Ah Ju probably guessed what was in the booklet, blushing took it and hid it in his cuff without reading it.

Ning smiled and changed the subject.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not say a few words, and asked Mei to come in happily and report: "Ma'am, grandma, just now Chen Shou came over to spread the word, saying that the aunt of the Zhou family personally delivered the Dragon Boat Festival gift. Invite people to Wangzhuxuan and ask grandma when she will go back to see her."

Uncle is here?

Ah Ju was both surprised and delighted, "Who else is here besides my aunt?"

Wen Mei shook her head: "Chen Shou didn't say, wouldn't Grandma know if she went to see it?"

Ah Ju has already guessed that his father is going to prepare for this year's autumn, and he will definitely not have time to come. His mother will stay at home to take care of his father, and she will not come. Alone here?

That was enough to make her happy.

Ah Ju bid farewell to her mother-in-law excitedly, and walked back eagerly. Mammy Jiang was worried that something might happen to her, so she supported her steadily so that she would not walk too fast.

Turning to the gate of Wangzhuxuan Courtyard, I saw a man in green robe standing sideways to her in the courtyard, as if he was watching the garden, Ah Ju was about to call for someone, when suddenly a boy with delicate eyebrows ran out diagonally across the street, Call her "big sister".

"Xiao Jiu?" Ah Ju was overjoyed, staring at his younger brother intently.I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and my brother seems to have grown a lot taller.

But in the end Lin Chongjiu failed to jump on the elder sister as he wished. Zhou Lansheng grabbed his arm in time and reminded him in a low voice: "My aunt is pregnant, be careful not to bump into her."

Lin Chongjiu immediately remembered her mother's advice and smiled awkwardly, but when she restrained her joy and walked in front of Ah Ju, she still hugged her gently: "Sister, I miss you so much." Tears welled up in those peach blossom eyes similar to those of the two elder sisters, and then seemed embarrassed again, buried in Ah Ju's arms and secretly wiped it off, using his elder sister's clothes.

Ah Ju also had tears in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself, touched his younger brother's head, and then praised Zhou Lansheng with a smile, then led the two younger brothers to Zhou Pei, and said with a smile: "How can uncle do it himself?" Are you here? Go sit in the house quickly, my father-in-law has gone to court, Chengyuan is now the commander of the Jinwu Guard, and he will also be on duty in the palace from yesterday, and he will probably not be able to visit uncle until evening."

Zhou Pei has already looked at his niece from a distance, seeing her rosy complexion, he knows that she should be doing well, and after entering Beijing last night, he has quietly inquired about the situation of the Yanping Hou Mansion, so he is very relieved, and he followed Ah Ju to Walking away, he explained: "My uncle has an old friend's family in Tianjin. I want to visit him this time. It happens that Tianjin is close to the capital, and it happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival. My uncle will come to see you. Go back and talk to your mother and aunt, so that you don't have to worry about it. They're always on their toes."

Ah Ju's tears that had just been suffocated just now burst out, and she wiped her tears against her younger brother's shoulders, and stopped after a while, and said with red eyes: "I'm fine, uncle will tell my mother and aunt for me when I get back, Let them not worry."

Lin Chongjiu hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, let me tell mother, elder sister, you seem to be getting fatter, and you look better. Mother will be happy when she finds out!"

Ah Ju couldn't help kissing his younger brother, and then asked Zhou Pei: "When is Uncle planning to leave Beijing? It's rare to come here, so stay a few more days, and live in the Hou Mansion."

She spoke quickly, and Zhou Pei felt relieved when she heard it. The fact that the niece could say such a thing clearly meant that the Marquis of Yanping welcomed him to live in him, and it also showed the status of the niece in the Marquis Mansion.

But he still shook his head: "I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow, your aunt, she..."

He was a little hesitant, and Ah Ju felt uneasy. Seeing Lin Chongjiu, he laughed and said, "My aunt is going to give birth to a younger brother for us again." Not long after the elder sister left, my aunt announced good news, and Lin Chongjiu was very happy. He is not the youngest with many younger brothers. Later, he learned that his eldest sister was also pregnant, and he was about to become an uncle. Lin Chongjiu couldn't keep his mouth shut all day long.This time when my uncle wanted to come, he was stalking at home, and finally made my mother let go. The second sister also wanted to come, but her mother vetoed it, so the second sister was very jealous of him.

Mrs. Xiaoliu has been talking about having a daughter for a long time. When she learned that she was pregnant, Aju was sincerely happy for her aunt, but she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart. No matter how lively the family was, she was not among them. Her parents would probably come over this year. The aunt's family ...

"Uncle, I remember you said that you might open a shop in the capital?" Ah Ju asked expectantly, thinking of the conversation he had heard at his uncle's house.If the Zhou family opened a shop in the capital, more aunts would be able to come and live in the capital in the future, and she would be able to see her little brother or aunt.

Zhou Pei smiled, looked at the yard and said: "Uncle just said casually, the capital is too prosperous, uncle still prefers a quieter place, but don't worry, Ah Ju, when your aunt is born, uncle will often bring them to see you .”

He really wanted to come to the capital, but now that his niece has married into the Hou's mansion, it's not suitable for them to come.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, elegant merchants, no matter how nice the name is, they are still merchants. My niece's relatives from the Zhou family will only make the officials' wives laugh, and it will not hurt if they stay far away.

Ah Ju didn't know her uncle's kindness, so she couldn't hide her disappointment.

But being able to see her long-lost relatives made her very satisfied.
