After being forced to marry by her stepmother, the Koi wife brings prosperity to the whole family

The sky gradually darkened, the mountains and rivers became one color, the dark blue hills were covered by a layer of silvery white moonlight, and a few insects and birds were floating in the fields, quiet and comfortable. This night was the wedding night of Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan. Du Wanchun chatted with Aunt Zhou for a few words, packed up and prepared to go into the house to rest. Aunt Zhou took her hand and patted her gently, saying, "Wanchun, if you don't want to, you can sleep in the same room with me."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and said, "You came in so shabby today, not only because our family has no money, but also because Ruiyuan wanted to tell you that his leg is not healed yet, and he doesn't want to marry you and delay you."

Du Wanchun smiled gently, saying, "Mother, my husband has told me about this, and I know what he means. I am willing to wait for his leg to heal, but how can a new wife leave her husband alone in the new house? If outsiders know about it, they will laugh at us again. Don't worry, I don't care about these things. It just so happens that my husband needs someone to take care of him at night."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou was very moved. After explaining a few words, she let Du Wanchun enter the room.

"Good boy, remember to call me if you have anything to do at night."

"I know, mother."

Du Wanchun lifted the curtain and walked into the room with a smile.

In fact, both of them knew that Zhou Ruiyuan had a bad leg. If Du Wanchun didn't want to, he couldn't do anything he wanted to do.

But once they entered the room, they were destined to be husband and wife. It would be difficult to regret it.

Du Wanchun walked into the room without hesitation. Whether it was to repay a favor or love at first sight, from the first time she saw Zhou Ruiyuan, she decided that he was her husband who would support her in this life.

In the new room, Zhou Ruiyuan hadn't slept yet. He was still sitting at the table reading by candlelight, but the book in his hand had changed to another one, another one Du Wanchun had never seen before.

Du Wanchun walked to his side and whispered to him, "Husband, are you still awake?"

Zhou Ruiyuan was a little surprised to see her suddenly come in, "Why are you here..."

Du Wanchun interrupted him before he finished speaking, "We are newly married today, why can't you come?"

Zhou Ruiyuan had seen her sharp tongue, so he didn't argue with her. He pushed the chair under him, came to the bed, picked up a quilt and prepared to go out.

Du Wanchun hurriedly stopped him, "Husband, if you go out with the quilt tonight, I will be called an abandoned woman tomorrow."

She was right. The young wives in the village were most afraid of the mouth at the head of the village. If Zhou Ruiyuan really left her alone tonight, those people would not know how to make up about her, Du Wanchun, tomorrow.

Especially her natal family, her stepmother and stepsister just couldn't stand her doing well.

Zhou Ruiyuan stopped and did not insist on going out. He put down the quilt, pushed the chair back to the table, and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll read for a while."

Du Wanchun smiled when she saw this.

She took the quilt back to the bed, and then divided the bed into two, covering it with two quilts, one for her and one for Zhou Ruiyuan.

Du Wanchun took off her shoes and socks and crawled into the quilt in the bed and lay down quietly.

Zhou Ruiyuan kept reading the book intently, his white fingers gently turning the pages, and the whole room was so quiet that only the sound of paper turning could be heard.

Du Wanchun nestled in the quilt and secretly watched him.

Under the dim yellow light, the face with clear contours looked deeper than in the daytime, and there was a hint of worry and ambition between his eyebrows.

Du Wanchun then discovered that there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging behind him, the words on them were all written very well, and the paintings were also very lifelike.

She stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help asking Zhou Ruiyuan: "Sir, you can read and write, why haven't you taken the imperial examination?"

Zhou Ruiyuan stopped flipping the book, and after a long silence, he slowly said: "I don't want to become an official."

Du Wanchun frowned, puzzled: "If you don't become an official, how can you stand out?"

Zhou Ruiyuan returned to normal and continued to flip the book. While reading, he replied: "The official career is complicated, so as not to cause some right and wrong things."

Du Wanchun half-understood, thought about it and smiled: "It's okay, sir, if you want to stand out, you don't have to become an official. There is always a path suitable for us among scholars, farmers, merchants and workers."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She had experienced too much today, and she was really too tired. She felt sleepy as soon as she lay down in the comfortable quilt.

The quilt was newly bought by Aunt Zhou. It was soft and much better than the thatched bed she slept on in the Du family before.

And there was also

There was a faint fragrance, just like Zhou Ruiyuan's.

Zhou Ruiyuan saw that she was motionless, and raised his eyes slightly to look at her.

Du Wanchun was curled up in the quilt, with only her small round face exposed.

It was very strange, she was a skinny girl with only bones on her body, but her face looked chubby, especially when she was asleep, like a little baby in the temple, looking like she wanted to bite her little face.

Zhou Ruiyuan was a little dazed for a while, and after a long time, he quickly retracted his gaze and put down the book in his hand.

The book in his hand was called "The Book of Lord Shang", which mainly talked about the law of controlling the sky and the way of governing the country and using the army, which had nothing to do with whether he entered the officialdom or not.
