The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 56
Early in the morning, Mother Jiang personally watched the little maids move the homecoming gift prepared by Zhao's family to the carriage, the whole carriage was full.

In the hall, Ning Shi was telling Ah Ju in a soft voice: "Say hello to your parents for me, and let your mother bring A Zhu Xiaojiu to come and have a look when she is free. And this time, you and Cheng Yuan will stay at home longer A few days, I have also been a new wife, I know that I am homesick after I got married. Our house does not have so many rules, you must stay for a few more days, and I will not open the door for you if you come back too early!"

Ah Ju looked at Zhao Chen who was sitting on the side. Although she was grateful to Ning Shi for treating her so wholeheartedly, she still said: "Mother, don't try to persuade her anymore. We agreed to stay at home for two nights and come back the day after tomorrow. Zhu Xiaojiu will also bring me here for a few days to talk with you." She is homesick, but once she gets married, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and she can't rely on the generosity of her mother-in-law to really stay at home and not come back. She couldn't bear to leave Ning Shi alone here.

"Okay, it's better this way, Ah Zhu is smart, I've missed her a long time ago." Ning stood up with a smile, and walked out together holding Ah Ju's hand: "Don't delay, let's go, your father Mother and the others must have been looking forward to it a long time ago, go back happily and let them know that Chengyuan and I have not treated you badly."

Ah Ju blushed, and when she reached the door, before she was helped into the carriage by Zhao Chen, she couldn't help turning her head and said to Ning: "Mother, take good care of yourself at home, we will be back soon."

Ning nodded with a smile, and waved to her son who wanted to say something more. Zhao Chen smiled and followed Ah Ju into the carriage.

The couple walked in front, Chen Ping drove the carriage, and Cuiyu sat in the carriage behind, helping to look at the cart of gifts.

The carriage wobbled out of Tongwan Village.

Zhao Chen rolled up the car curtain, hugged Ah Ju and looked outside together.

In late October, the leaves of the poplar trees on both sides of the path have already fallen, and the wheat seedlings in the fields are so green that it is eye-catching. But occasionally a gust of wind blows and rolls up a layer of yellow sand, reminding people that the cold winter is getting closer.

"Is it cold?" With the wind blowing in from outside, Zhao Chen pulled Ah Ju's collar and asked against her face.

Although he still only teased her last night like the first night, the two of them were intimate in every possible way, Ah Ju was already a little used to it, and she would still blush, but she stopped pushing him in vain, blinking her beautiful eyes at the blue sky in the distance, little Said: "It's not cold, what is this little wind, it will be strong in another month, and my face will freeze when I go out." Besides, she still feels hot when he hugs her like this.

Zhao Chen kissed her, as if muttering to himself: "The winter in Beijing is colder than here."

Aju was curious after hearing this, turned her head to look at him, met his bright phoenix eyes, dared not look at him, and continued to ask out the window: "Have you been to the capital?"

Zhao Chen smiled that she couldn't look at herself calmly so far, held her hand and said: "You forgot, our family is in the capital, and I lived there until I was nine years old. The prosperity of the capital is not comparable to that of Dengzhou. When going out, you may encounter Imperial court officials and business travelers from all over the world are coming, would Ah Ju want to go and have a look?"

"Are you talking about going back to your home in the capital, or just going to see the excitement?" Ah Ju asked after thinking about it.Father said that Zhao Chen didn't plan to go back to the ancestral house to live with a group of people, and Ah Ju didn't want to go either.In her opinion, there is no more beautiful and better woman than Ning Shi in the world, how could father-in-law let her down like this?

"Go back and watch the excitement." Zhao Chen said absently.

Ah Ju still shook her head: "Mother definitely won't go, it's fine if you usually go out to do business, I'd better stay at home and spend more time with my mother."

Zhao Chen paused, and hugged him even tighter, "Ah Ju is so nice, no wonder Mother likes you so much, she treats you better than me."

The two chatted casually in this way, and when the sun rose above the treetops, the carriage arrived at the head of the village.Zhao Chen put down the curtains, afraid that she would think too much, so he held her face and searched for her lips.Ah Ju stretched out her hand to cover his face, and complained softly: "I'll be home soon, don't do this."

"But if you don't kiss now, you won't be able to kiss in the next two days. After seeing your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you don't look like a new wife at all. What if your mother-in-law suspects that we don't have a bridal chamber? Ah Ju is obedient, just give me a kiss." In other words, he held her face and kissed her deeply, until the carriage turned and Lin Chongjiu's joyful shout came in, Zhao Chen finally kissed Ah Ju's delicious lips, let her go, and straightened the skirts of the two of them.

When the carriage stopped, Zhao Chen jumped down first, the four members of the Lin family and the three members of Zhou Pei's family were waiting outside, Zhao Chen nodded with a smile, and turned to help Ah Ju.

Ah Ju pretended to be calm, but the blushing and peach-blossom-like demeanor was something children could not understand, and adults could more or less guess it.

Lin Xian gave his son-in-law a sneaky look, it's fine if he likes his daughter making trouble at home, but he dared to be dishonest when he came to his father-in-law's house.

Both Liu Shi and Xiao Liu Shi were smiling, and when they saw Ah Ju like this, they knew that the silly girl had been stolen by her husband.

Everyone greeted briefly at the door, and then moved inside to talk.

Naturally, the men went to the upper room, and Lin Zhu of Liu's Xiaoliu's family surrounded Ah Ju and went to the west wing, ready to have some whispers.Lin Chongjiu missed her eldest sister, and followed the four of them obsessively, and Zhou Lansheng also followed him.Mrs. Liu originally wanted to talk to her daughter first, but looking at the happy second daughter and youngest son, she knew that they were all looking forward to the elder sister's return, so she suppressed her excitement for the time being and sat aside with Mrs. Liu first. See the three siblings get close.

Cuiyu moved all the gifts here, and Aju took out the ones for his younger siblings first.Lin Zhu got a pair of ruby ​​earrings and liked them so much that he put them on immediately, "Sister, did you choose this or did your brother-in-law prepare it? Hmph, I guess it must have been given to you by your brother-in-law. You have always been interested in these things." I don't care too much, but luckily my brother-in-law has a good eye."

Liu Shi glared at her: "You still talk so much when I give you something, Ah Ju won't have to prepare anything for her in the future."

Lin Zhu curled her lips, hugged Ah Ju's arm suddenly, leaned on her shoulder and asked: "How long will the elder sister come back to stay this time? This time I will sleep with you no matter what, last time my mother and aunt drove me away, I had a sad night with Xiaojiu."

Lin Chongjiu immediately hugged Eldest Sister's other side: "I want to sleep in the same room with Eldest Sister!"

Xiao Liu said with a smile: "All right, all three of you will sleep in the same room and talk to you all night. Well, do Lan Sheng want to stay and sleep in the same room with your aunt tonight?" Obviously intentionally To tease my son.

Zhou Lansheng stood on one side like a green bamboo, and said to Ah Ju: "My aunt is tired enough talking to my second aunt Xiaojiu, I'd better talk to my aunt more during the day, so my aunt can go to bed early at night." He will be 11 years old a year later, not a kid anymore.

Ah Ju smiled and invited him to his side, naturally there was a gift.

After the children finished talking, Mrs. Liu drove Lin Zhu's three children out impatiently. After closing the door, she sat next to Ah Ju and took her hand up and down to look them up and down carefully, then looked at Xiao Liu Shi: "I look a little fatter, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xiaoliu squeezed Ah Ju's flushed face, and joked: "It's not only plump, but also looks good. Cheng Yuan is really good at coaxing people. We, Ah Ju, didn't like him very much before we got married. We spent time at his house. I fell in love with it in two days, didn't I? Ah Ju told my aunt, how did Cheng Yuan coax you?"

"Auntie!" Ah Ju really couldn't stand such a blunt joke, and buried herself in Liu Shi's arms, refusing to see anyone.

Xiao Liu laughed, and Liu hugged her daughter, feeling infinitely emotional: "Okay, let's stop teasing her, Ah Ju, just tell mother, is Cheng Yuan treating you well?"

Ah Ju nodded, knowing what her mother was worried about, sat upright, lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, mother, he is very good to me, and my mother-in-law is also good to me, and Mother Jiang will help me. Something will happen. When I came back this time, my mother-in-law told me to stay for a few more days before going back. I thought she was lonely at home, so I discussed with him to stay only two nights before leaving. If I have free time, we will come and see You, or you go to the Zhuangzi to have a sit, the mother-in-law really wants you to go there."

Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's how it should be. He treats us well, and we have to do our duty as daughter-in-law, so that we can live a long life. Ah Ju, you are sensible since childhood, so mother doesn't worry about it. I'm just afraid of you... Well, now that you and Chengyuan are in love, Mother has nothing to worry about."

Ah Ju looked at her mother, and couldn't help hugging her again: "It's just that sometimes I still miss home..."

Liu smiled and patted her daughter's shoulder: "Silly girl, it's always like this when you first got married. Hurry up and have a baby, and when you become a mother yourself, you won't have dreamers anymore."

Ah Ju's face became hot, Xiao Liu looked at it, and leaned over to ask: "How is it, these two days you...cough cough, Ah Ju, you have to persuade Cheng Yuan, you can't be too greedy when you are young." In broad daylight, she was too embarrassed to say it was too much.

Ah Ju hasn't shared a room with Zhao Chen yet, but the two of them can't do without a lot of love and affection no matter day or night, especially after helping him twice at night, thinking about it is even more embarrassing than actually doing it, plus she heard Mother and aunt seem to be worried that Zhao Chen only cares about himself and ignores her, but in fact Zhao Chen can't be more considerate to her. Thinking of this, she is both ashamed and happy, so why worry about falling into the eyes of the two elders?

The three talked for a while, and it was time to prepare lunch, but Ah Ju insisted on helping out.Mrs. Liu also wanted to spend more time with her daughter, so she agreed, but she was only allowed to wash the vegetables, and she was not allowed to do anything else.Cuiyu wanted to help, but Aju didn't let her. She was a young mistress in Zhao's house, but she was a peasant child here. There was really a maid hanging around the house. She was uncomfortable, and her mother was also uncomfortable. Don't order the maid.

Hot water was boiled in the pot, Ah Ju mixed some cold water into the basin, and squatted under the eaves of the east wing to wash vegetables.Lin Zhu obediently came to help her, and Lin Chongjiu and Zhou Lansheng also moved a small bench and sat aside to talk to their two sisters.

When Zhao Chen came out of the upper room, he saw his wife sitting in front of the three children, smiling and extremely gentle.

When they have a baby, she will be a gentle mother, right?

He smiled and walked over.
