The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 102 Cover Your Ears
At sunset, Zhao Chen, who had already received the letter, hurried back. Zhao Yunting was busy with work and still had to return home late.

The chief steward, Zhao Yuan, arranged Zhou Pei and the three of them in the guest room of the main courtyard. After Zhao Chen returned home, he went to visit first, but only saw Zhou Pei and his son.

Zhou Pei explained with a smile: "Xiao Jiu is talking with Ah Ju."

Lin Chongjiu was only eight years old, and he was Ah Ju's younger brother. It was fine for the two of them to stick together. His family's Lan Sheng was eleven years old, so he needed to avoid taboos, so even though his niece stayed, he still brought his son back.

Zhao Chen could imagine his wife's happy appearance, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle, sit down first, I'll go back and change my clothes, and I'll come over to talk to you later. My father's yamen has something to delay, so he may have to come back later, please forgive me if I neglect you." Uncle, don't blame me."

Humble and polite, as before.

Zhou Pei was very relieved, at least for now, the niece did not marry the wrong person.

Zhao Chen strode back to look at Zhuxuan.

At dusk, when the heat of the day had just dissipated and the evening breeze was cool, Aju asked someone to bring Yoyo over to show to her younger brother. She sat aside and watched. Mother Jiang stood beside her, and Luyun Cuiyu stared nervously behind her. Hey Yo Yo, for fear that it will suddenly rush over and bump into Ah Ju.Ah Ju thinks they are too nervous, Yoyo is very smart, she doesn't bump into people when she plays by herself, and when she wants to get close to people, she will run over briskly, stop in front of you, and stretch her neck for you to touch.

Lin Chongjiu has grown taller, and Yoyo has grown up a lot. Lin Chongjiu chased after Yoyo for a while and then gave up. Panting, she sat back beside Aju, her little face was flushed, and she pointed at Yoyo and said angrily: "Sister! , Yo Yo, you don’t know me anymore, don’t let me touch you!”

Aju smiled and wiped his sweat for him, "You get up early tomorrow morning to feed it, and it will remember."

Lin Chongjiu was dubious, blinked his big eyes and looked at Yoyo who was looking back at them. Aju was afraid that he would be thirsty, so he tied a watermelon and sent it to his younger brother.With the familiar tenderness and intimacy, Lin Chongjiu smiled at the eldest sister contentedly, opened her mouth and waited for her to be fed.

When Zhao Chen entered the door, what he saw was this scene. Her wife tenderly delivered the watermelon to his brother-in-law.

With a slight pause in his footsteps, Zhao Chen couldn't help swallowing.

Well, he was busy in the palace for a day, and he came back and talked a lot with Zhou Pei. His mouth was dry and he didn't enjoy this kind of treatment. My brother-in-law was fine, he took a bite and asked her for a second bite, obviously Get used to it.As for her, she went to tie watermelons with a smile and then fed her younger brother with a smile, so gentle and pampering, why wasn't she so obedient when he asked her to move before?He would just hug his neck tenderly and shout tired...

Seeing that he had stood there for so long and the siblings hadn't seen him, Zhao Chen deliberately coughed.

Lin Chongjiu was about to pick up the watermelon. When he heard the movement, he turned his head and looked over. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up the next moment, and ran towards Zhao Chen excitedly: "Brother-in-law, you are so majestic in this outfit!"

However, Zhao Chen noticed that when he got up, he knocked off the diced watermelon that Ah Ju had just handed over. He couldn't help feeling sorry for it. He took two quick steps and picked up the boy who didn't hesitate to be lucky. He carried it to his shoulder and slapped him on the buttocks, " Knowing that brother-in-law is back, why don't you pick me up at the door?"

He exerted a little strength, and Lin Chongjiu cried out in pain, of course he did it on purpose, "Brother-in-law, please be gentle, it's the eldest sister who said that I don't need to pick you up!"

Zhao Chen had already arrived in front of Ah Ju, and while putting Lin Chongjiu back on the ground, he looked at Ah Ju and asked, "You really said that?"

He also took the joke seriously, and Ah Ju explained helplessly: "Xiao Jiu asked if he could go to the palace to find you, where he can go? Of course I said no, and let him stay here honestly. "When they were in Dengzhou, the imperial palace was out of reach in their eyes, and they couldn't even think about it. After she married Zhao Chen, she gradually understood. A younger brother and a child naturally don't understand anything.

Zhao Chen laughed twice, grabbed the bamboo stick in Ah Ju's hand, tied a piece of watermelon into his mouth, and patted Lin Chongjiu on the shoulder after quenching his thirst: "Xiao Jiu practiced martial arts well, and when he grows up, he will also be a guard. You can enter the palace."

Lin Chongjiu nodded repeatedly, his eyes were bright.

Zhao Chen patted his head, went inside to take a shower and change clothes, and when he got up, he winked at Ah Ju, signaling her to go with him.Ah Ju pretended not to see it, and said seriously to his younger brother: "Don't listen to your brother-in-law, study hard at home, and take the exam for a scholar in a few years." Riding a horse and archery is too dangerous, Zhao Chen has a master to teach him, and he can't afford a master. It's still safe to read.

Lin Chongjiu was impatient to listen to the eldest sister's teaching, so she ran inside to please his brother-in-law. Reading is boring, but practicing martial arts is more interesting.

Ah Ju had no choice but to order the servant girl to move the table back, and she went inside to pick out clothes for Zhao Chen.

In the evening, Zhao Yunting set up a banquet in the front yard, Zhao Chen went to the front to accompany the guests, and Ah Ju was looking at the meal for Zhuxuan.After dinner, they went around the pool in the backyard, but Zhao Chen hadn't come back, so Aju went to the house to prepare a gift for his sister.I spent this whole day with my younger brother, so I almost forgot about it.

Lin Zhu likes stinky beauty the most, so Ah Ju moved the jewelry box to the kang table, choosing the same ones.

Not long after the clapper rang, Zhao Chen came back, reeking of alcohol.

Ah Ju frowned, because she couldn't smell such a strong smell now, she covered her nose with a handkerchief, and asked him inexplicably: "Lan Sheng and Xiao Jiu are both children, and they definitely don't drink alcohol. Only uncle is an adult, why are you still drinking?" Have you drank so much?" Could it be that they have been toasting on the table?

Zhao Chen was just a little drunk and wanted to tease his wife. Seeing that she disliked him, he purposely went to her side and put his arms around her to ask for a kiss: "I'm glad that my uncle is here, so I drank two more glasses when I was happy, Ah Ju, you Are you happy?"

"Go and wash your mouth!" Ah Ju didn't have the heart to talk to him, and turned her head to dodge.

Zhao Chen accepted her as soon as he saw it, took a sip on her shoulder, and went obediently.

When he came back, he only wore a pair of thin trousers, and held a bowl of diced watermelon in his hand. Seeing that his wife was already lying down, he got on the kang first, put the bowl on the window sill, and carefully picked up Ah Ju, not daring to put it on his lap. She was only allowed to sit by the window sill with a pillow in the middle.

Ah Ju looked at him curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Eat watermelon with me." Zhao Chen sat cross-legged opposite her, took the bowl and said, looking at her softly.When I came back yesterday, I wasted some time in Rongshou Hall. After returning to the house for a rest, the two of them wasted too much time. Later, they were too busy making out, so they couldn't get close. This day, he was thinking about coming back to talk to her sooner. , I didn't expect another guest to sit together now.

There was a lamp on the window sill, illuminating the watermelon in the bowl brightly.Ah Ju turned his eyes away, "Eat it yourself, I don't want to eat it now."

What to eat, after she got pregnant, she went to Gong's room more and more often, if she really ate this bowl of watermelon, she would definitely have to toss a few times at night.The room is so quiet, with the sound of rushing water, it's embarrassing to think about it, Ah Ju is not as thick-skinned as Zhao Chen, and when he releases the water, he acts as if no one is around.They used to sleep together, and she was almost fine at night, and only went there during the day when he was gone.

Zhao Chen didn't understand his wife's small thoughts, and insisted on her company, but Ah Ju didn't eat anything, just hid around and refused to pick up the watermelon handed over by the man.Zhao Chen was very disappointed, and also a little unhappy, he was nice to her, why would she not want to?
The man in front of him suddenly stopped moving, Ah Ju peeked and met Zhao Chen's gloomy face.This was the first time Zhao Chen gave her a cold face after getting married, Ah Ju was inexplicably afraid, thinking that he only fed her because he liked her, probably hurt him by refusing like this?Ah Ju lightly picked at the mat underneath, explaining that she couldn't say anything and could only make him happy.

"I really don't want to eat, let me feed you." She lowered her head to pick up the bowl in the man's hand, he was holding on tightly, Ah Ju raised her head and looked at him beggingly, Zhao Chen stared at her expressionlessly , but let go of the hand.

Ah Ju heaved a sigh of relief, tied a diced watermelon with a bamboo stick and handed it over.

Zhao Chen pursed his lips and refused to answer.

Ah Ju was not used to getting along with Zhao Chen like this, let alone such active intimacy, thinking that he was really angry and didn't want to eat, felt sad and wronged, and involuntarily prepared to withdraw his hand.

"You feed me this bowl, and I'll spare you." Zhao Chen grabbed her hand in time and stared into her eyes.

She looked fierce, but her words were full of childishness. Ah Ju was completely unafraid, and nodded with a smile.

Zhao Chen pinched her small face as punishment, then lowered his head and bit off the diced watermelon on the bamboo stick.

The fruity aroma permeated around the two of them, Ah Ju smelled the fresh watermelon aroma, and heard Zhao Chen eating with gusto, she couldn't help swallowing quietly.Not wanting to eat and not being greedy are two different things. Anyone who faces this kind of temptation will not be able to resist it, right?

When she fed Zhao Chen again, Ah Ju couldn't hold back and licked his lips.

Ah Ju held the bamboo stick in one hand and the bowl in the other, unable to move at all, she could only bear it with her head up.

Ah Ju didn't want to make him unhappy anymore, she opened her mouth to answer, lowered her eyes and bit lightly.

Zhao Chen looked at her obsessively, put the bowl back on the window sill based on his impression, and lowered his head to kiss her ear, "Ah Ju, you are sweeter and more fragrant than watermelon..."

Ah Ju turned her head to hide, wanting to greet but refusing.

She didn't know what she tasted like, but when she was lying on the quilt obediently feeding him, Ah Ju thought, perhaps in Zhao Chen's opinion, she was indeed more delicious than watermelon?Otherwise, why would he finish eating the watermelon in two or three bites, but why would she never seem to want to let go of it?

After a long lingering, Ah Ju fell asleep in the man's arms.

Asleep fell asleep, Ah Ju woke up.

She was extremely embarrassed, if she knew that she would try to make him unhappy and would not take that bite.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen was already alert, and when he noticed her moving around, he immediately sat up, "What's wrong?"

"No, I had a dream and then woke up." Ah Ju said softly.

Zhao Chen immediately relaxed. After confirming that it was not a nightmare, he hugged her again, patted her, "Go to sleep." He had to get up early tomorrow morning, so he really didn't have the energy to ask her what the dream was.

Ah Ju shrank quietly, rubbing her legs from time to time.

She was so abnormal that Zhao Chen was completely awake. He turned on the lights before staring at the person and asked, "What's the matter with you? If something feels uncomfortable, I'll send someone to hire a doctor. Don't hide it." Could it be that he was at that time Too much movement?

Ah Ju could hardly bear it anymore, knowing that she couldn't escape tonight, she sat up resignedly, lowered her head and said, "It's really fine, you go to the kang, I'll go to the back."

later?toilet?
Her voice sounded calm, but her face was so red that it didn't look right. Zhao Chen looked dumbfounded. Thinking about it carefully, he had never met his wife going to courteous room after getting married. He couldn't help but grab her arm and asked in disbelief: " We have been husband and wife for so long, are you still embarrassed by this?"

The more shocked his tone was, the more uncomfortable Ah Ju was, she shook off his hand and walked back.

Zhao Chen immediately followed behind her with a lamp, "I'll light it for you."

"I don't need you to illuminate!" Ah Ju was so ashamed that she was dying of embarrassment.

"It's dark over there, I don't worry." Zhao Chen said seriously, the wife's embarrassment is the most fun, he likes to watch it.

Ah Ju had known this person's temper for a long time, and begged him with a blushing face: "Give me the lamp, and I will go by myself. You can go back to the kang to sleep first."

She was so anxious that she was about to cry, Zhao Chen couldn't bear to tease her any more, and obediently passed the lamp over.

Ah Ju took the lamp and stood there waiting for him to return to the kang.

Zhao Chen was completely at a loss. He lay on the back of the kang and asked her with a smile: "Is this okay? Do you need me to cover your ears?"

Ah Ju bit her lip, turned her head and said, "Yes."

Zhao Chen turned around and snickered. When he turned around, he saw his wife staring at him, exasperated and pitiful. Zhao Chen was so soft-hearted that he pulled the quilt over his head.

Ah Ju went nervously.

When he came back, Zhao Chen was motionless as if he had fallen asleep, and Ah Ju didn't know if he was really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping, so he turned off the light and went to bed.

As soon as she lay down, the man covered her with the quilt.Ah Ju froze, Zhao Chen said: "Ah Ju, why are you so stupid?"

Ah Ju pursed her lips, why is she so stupid?It was obvious that he was too thick-skinned to take this seriously.

"You are so stupid, I like you more and more." Zhao Chen whispered in her ear as if expecting that his wife would not like to hear that.

Ah Ju's body, which was still a little stiff just now, immediately went limp again.

She was so easy to coax, Zhao grinned dully, his shoulders shook slightly, and he said the last words of the night, "Aju, I heard it all..."

What do you hear?
Ah Ju covered his mouth in shame, "You are not allowed to say any more!"

Zhao Chen was willing to accept the punishment, instead of talking, he just did it.
