The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 89
As night falls and the lanterns come on, Wangzhuxuan is preparing for the masters to go out to enjoy the lanterns.

Zhao Chen didn't intend to take the maids out, so Madam Jiang and the others actually had nothing to do, they just assigned two of them to guard the upper room and wait for the masters to come back to serve them.Mother Jiang was talking when there was a suppressed exclamation from inside the room. She glanced and saw that Lu Yun and the others were blushing and lowered their heads, nodded in satisfaction, and led them outside.

The uncle is young and energetic, and often messes around. The four maids didn't pay too much attention, which is not bad.There are so many bed-climbing maids in the other people's mansion, apart from envying the benefits of being a concubine, how many of them are not aroused by the movement of men and women?
In the room, the man's brocade robe that Ah Ju had just changed was pulled to the sides, his legs were trembling and he could hardly support himself on the ground, but his upper body was forced to fall on his back on the kang, and the culprit was holding her hand as she tried to push him away. Put your hands on her chest...

The air was cold, and she couldn't help shrinking her shoulders that were exposed to the outside, and pressed her lips tightly to endure the heat brought by him. Then, when the man pulled the skirt of her clothes for her and pressed against her shoulders for breath, she discussed in a low voice: "Why don't I wrap my clothes around him?" Gauze, right?" It was he who asked her to wear men's clothes, and he also didn't let her wear them, but she was pulled over before she had time to take a closer look in the mirror.

Shame to death.

"No, I'm afraid of strangling you."

Speaking hoarsely, Zhao Chen slowly raised his head and looked at his wife.She wore a man's hair in a bun, and her head was tied with a hosta hairpin, which made her bright facial features even more eye-catching.With beautiful black eyebrows, shy and timid peach eyes, plump red lips, natural hibiscus face, and that slender fair neck, and the looming collarbone under the collar, he didn't want to go out, he just wanted to hang out with her in the room stay.

It's just that she seldom goes out. Ever since he promised to take her out, she has been looking forward to it every day. How could he disappoint her?
There are some benefits that she is willing to give to him only if she is made happy.

Zhao Chen pulled his nervous-eyed wife up and refastened her clothes himself.

Ah Ju was worried that he would change his mind at first, but now that Zhao Chen was dressing her, she was relieved immediately, but looking at her bulging breasts, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "In this way, others will know that I am a woman at a glance." Yes." She didn't feel uncomfortable about her own body, but he felt distressed first, and it was just wrapped up for one night, why did he strangle it?According to his thinking, wouldn't the female general in the script who disguised herself as a man have to endure physical discomfort every day?
"It's dark outside, no one will stare at your chest. If you wear women's clothes, those men will look at you first when you appear, and you won't have fun wearing a veiled hat. This is just right." Zhao Chen couldn't bear his own The two big babies were wronged, and after speaking, they squeezed frivolously through the clothes, looking like a prodigal son.

Ah Ju took a step back, not daring to stare at him, blushing and went to the mirror to re-arrange the messed up bun.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two had arrived at the busiest main street in the capital.

Zhao Chen walked outside Ah Ju, his wife's small hands were covered by his long sleeves, and Ah Ju was held by him with peace of mind, his eyes lingered on the lampposts on both sides, so he didn't have to worry about being bumped at all.Several times when a playful child suddenly rushed out from behind the pavement at the entrance of the alley, Zhao Chen would quickly pull her to his side, and he would block her for her.

This feeling is unfamiliar to Ah Ju.

She is the eldest daughter of the family, and when she goes out as a guest, she helps her parents take care of her younger siblings. She has always been thinking about whether her younger brother will be naughty, and whether her younger sister will behave in a way that a girl should not have.After marrying Zhao Chen, she changed from elder sister to wife. He cared about her everywhere and stood in front of her in everything...

Ah Ju raised his head.

Under the bright moonlight, in the shadow of the bustling lights, her man was paying attention to the flow of people in front and behind, and aware of her gaze, he lowered his head and smiled at her, asking silently, the brilliance in the phoenix eyes was more intoxicating than the moonlight.Ah Ju also smiled, boldly held his hand back, and led him towards the lamp shop she had just set her eyes on.

During the Lantern Festival, passers-by come and go, enjoying their own excitement with their relatives, and no one pays special attention to what others are doing.Some people may notice that there are young people with outstanding looks in the crowd, and some people may also see that the petite one is a girl, but what does that have to do with them?They also have relatives and sweethearts who are traveling with them, and they also have their stories.

The lantern shop that Ah Ju chose was guessing lantern riddles. The owner of the stall was an old man with a goatee. In addition to the lanterns for sale hanging on the wooden shelves on both sides, there were two rows of two rows hanging on the low shelf in front of him. Ten small lanterns, each with a riddle on it, and the answers to the riddles are various birds and animals, or common insects.Lantern riddles are not difficult, but only children are allowed to guess, and adults cannot help. If they guess correctly, the teacher will give a lantern in the shape of a riddle.

When Ah Ju and Zhao Chen passed by, a couple had just led a boy away, and the boy was holding a lantern in the shape of an elephant in his hand, smiling happily.

Zhao Chen laughed at Ah Ju: "You don't look like a child."

Ah Ju ignored him, let go of his hand, and stood in front to watch, she just wanted to see the children guess.

A lantern riddle was solved, and the teacher turned the next lantern around, afraid that the children behind would not be able to see clearly, so he began to read in a rhythmic tone, "An old man with a white beard brought a bag of black beans, and as he walked, he leaked. Well, guess what this is."

Ah Ju couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Chen glanced at his wife with a strange expression.

The wife guessed it so quickly, and he hasn't guessed it yet.

When a fat boy who seemed to be only five or six years old shouted "sheep" and successfully took away the goat lantern, Zhao Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, led his wife to a corner, and asked her with a smile: "Did you guess it?" ?"

Ah Ju nodded, it was so simple, how could she not guess it?Seeing Zhao Chen looking at her with a disbelieving expression, and asking her thoughtfully how to explain the bag of black beans as if he was deliberately playing tricks on her, she gave him an annoyed look and returned to the stall.Even if this person is not serious, this kind of thing has to be brought up.

Zhao Chen didn't understand why he was stared at at all. When he returned to his wife, he wanted to forget about the lantern riddle, but he heard a little girl in a satin dress who was hugged by his father ask coquettishly, "Daddy, why is it a sheep?" ah?"

The girl's father laughed loudly, "Because sheep are white."

The girl pouted: "Why does the sheep have black beans? Doesn't it know that the black beans are missing?"

Zhao Chen couldn't help listening.

"Cough cough, this, because sheep sometimes squeak when they walk, and the stinky sheep are small black balls, which are actually a little bigger than beans... You haven't seen a sheep yet, so I will buy one for you later. Take a look."

The girl was very happy, Zhao Chen looked at the other lantern expressionlessly.

This kind of low-level lantern riddles can only be used to coax children.

When there was only the last lantern left, it may be that rare things are more expensive, and there were several circles of children in front of the not too big lantern shop.Because most of them were brought out by their parents, Zhao Chen and Ah Ju were not conspicuous standing inside, but the children in front of them looked up at them from time to time, wondering what these two beautiful brothers did.

The difficulty of the lantern riddles also gradually increased. Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, the master whetted his appetite and said with a smile: "The last one, let me talk about the prize first. This lantern is the one I am most satisfied with this year. It’s not that I’m talking big, and there may not be anyone in the street who can compare to me. Well, here comes the lantern riddle. Guess the beast in the forest that is the easiest to fall while walking. If you are right, you have to explain it correctly before you can take the lantern away. .”

There are only so many beasts in total, so many children must guess one of them, and some of them will be able to guess correctly.

Ah Ju lowered her head and thought about it. The previous lantern riddles were based on the appearance of birds and beasts. In the end, this one suddenly changed, which made it difficult.

Zhao Chen finally smiled and stood behind his wife confidently.

The children chattered so much that they even uttered the words of the blind rabbit, making the master laugh so hard, but unfortunately no one guessed it right, even the parents didn't have a clue.Guessing lantern riddles was just a small pleasure tonight, but they couldn’t guess correctly all the time. The adults lost their patience and stood here, and began to trick the children into leaving with various reasons.

The old master didn't care. He sat on the stool and lowered his head to make a new lantern.

Without the children, the front of the stall quickly became deserted, except for a few children who came out to play by themselves, only Aju, Zhao Chen, and another couple remained.At first they stood outside the crowd, and when there were fewer people, they arrived at the stall. Ah Ju casually glanced over there, but his eyes froze.

Among them was a tall and thin man who seemed to be about the same age as Guo Zijing, with a handsome but pale face, as if his body was ill, but the corners of his mouth were raised, quiet and calm, making people feel calm for no reason.And the woman in a moon-white dress beside him was not very beautiful, but people couldn't help but want to look at her more.The woman supported her stomach with one hand, Ah Ju looked down and found that her stomach was slightly bulging, she should be pregnant.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Chen asked in a low voice.

Ah Ju shook her head, turned her gaze back to the lantern, and asked with some disappointment, "Have you guessed what it is?"

Zhao Chen asked without answering, "Do you want this most beautiful lantern?"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he knew the answer to the riddle, Ah Ju was overjoyed.Both of them are looking forward to their children, so this lantern just for children is meaningless, of course she wants it, even if it is just an ordinary lantern, she will like it.

Zhao Chen touched her head and led her forward, unexpectedly the man next to him said almost at the same time: "Old man, can we guess this lantern riddle?"

Zhao Chen looked over in surprise, and the thin man nodded slightly at him without any dissatisfaction.

The master chef glanced at the two couples, recognized that they had stood here for a long time, and nodded, "Since you like it, guess it." After speaking, he took out two pieces of red paper and asked the two of them to write above to show fairness.

Zhao Chen and the skinny man each took one and leaned over to write.

Ah Ju was a little embarrassed, after all, this is a child's play.She quietly looked at the woman who was a few steps away from her, and that man just happened to look at her. Their eyes met, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, as well as the sweetness of being loved by their husbands.

The men finished writing quickly, the master looked at it, and said with a smile: "You guessed it right, it is the fox, but unfortunately I only have one lantern, you can discuss who it is for." A lantern was brought up, but before it was set up, the children who were still guarding here all let out a cry of surprise.

Ah Ju was also attracted, staring at the lantern obsessively.

It was a colorful lantern made of three red foxes, two big and one small, the small one in the middle, the two big ones were playing with the little fox's head, and the pointed mouth poked into the hair on the top of the little fox's head The other one leaned close to the little fox's ear, as if telling it something.When the breeze blows, the three foxes turn around and come to life.

Ah Ju likes this lantern very much, but when Zhao Chen was about to discuss it with the man, she still held him back and whispered: "Let's go, and go shopping elsewhere." The lantern means more to her.

Although her voice was low, she couldn't stand the silence here, and everyone around could hear her clearly.

The woman looked at Ah Ju in surprise, and seeing Ah Ju tenderly looking at her abdomen, she smiled and thanked her.

Ah Ju smiled back, and then led Zhao Chen away. After walking a long distance, she turned her head and showed reluctance.

His wife was kind-hearted, and Zhao Chen felt more and more fond of his wife. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, held her hand and said, "It's okay, as long as he keeps selling lanterns here, next year, year after year, year after year, we will come every year, bring us Let’s guess together with our children. If I’m so smart, our children must be smart too, and we’ll win back all the lanterns.”

Ah Ju was amused by him, and looked up at him: "Everyone can only guess once, twenty lanterns, do you want to give birth to twenty?"

Zhao Chen kissed her again, "As long as you are willing, I can afford twenty."

Ah Ju hit him, she is not a sow, how could she give birth to so many?

The couple smiled and moved on.Behind them, another couple stood in place for a while, and when the figures of Zhao and Chen were covered by pedestrians and could no longer be seen, the woman smiled softly, looked at the lantern in her hand, and said to her husband: "It's getting late, we also go home?"

The man nodded, and helped his wife to the entrance of the alley, where there was already a carriage waiting.
