Chapter 72
At sunset, Zhao Chen, who had already received the letter, hurried back. Zhao Yunting was busy with official duties and still had to return home later.
The chief manager Zhao Yuan arranged Zhou Pei and the other two in the guest room of the main courtyard. After Zhao Chen returned to the mansion, he went to visit him first, but only saw Zhou Pei and his son.
Zhou Pei smiled and explained, "Xiao Jiu is talking with Aji."
Lin Chongjiu is only eight years old and is Aji's younger brother again. It's nothing that the two brothers and sisters are stuck together. Lan Sheng is on the eleventh day of his family and needs to be avoided, so although his niece stayed, he still brought his son back.
Zhao Chen could even think of his wife's happy appearance, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle, I'll go back and change my clothes, and come over to talk to you later. If there is something delayed in my father's yamen, I may have to come back later. Please don't blame me for any negligence."
Humble and polite, just as before.
Zhou Pei was very pleased. At least for now, it seemed that his niece did not marry the wrong person.
Zhao Chenze strode back to Zhuxuan.
At dusk, the heat of the day had just dissipated and the evening breeze was cool. Aji asked someone to lead Youyou over to show her brother. She sat aside and watched. Madam Jiang stood beside her, and the green clouds and jade behind her were also staring at Youyou nervously, for fear that it would suddenly rush over and hit Aji. Aji felt that they were too nervous. Youyou was very smart. She would not hit people when she played with her. When she wanted to get close to others, she would also run over with brisk steps, stop in front of you, stretched her neck for you to touch.
Lin Chongjiu is getting taller, and Youyou has grown a lot. Lin Chongjiu chases Youyou for a while and then gives up. She sits back next to Aji with panting, blushing, pointing at Youyou and angrily: "Sister, Youyou doesn't know me anymore, don't touch me!"
Aji smiled and wiped his sweat, "If you get up early tomorrow morning, feed it to grass, it will remember it."
Lin Chongjiu was half-believing and half-doubted. He blinked his big eyes and looked at the Yoyo who looked back at them. Aji was afraid that he would be thirsty, so he stabbed a watermelon and sent it to his younger brother. With familiar gentleness and intimacy, Lin Chongjiu smiled at the elder sister with satisfaction, opened his mouth and waited for feeding.
When Zhao Chen entered the door, he saw this scene. Her wife gently delivered the watermelon to her brother-in-law.
With a slight pause, Zhao Chenqing couldn't help swallowing.
OK, he was busy in the palace for a day, and when he came back, he said a lot with Zhou Pei. He was so dry that he didn't enjoy such treatment. My brother-in-law got better. He took a bite and asked her for a second bite. Obviously, he was used to it. She smiled and went to suck the watermelon and then fed her brother with a smile. She was so gentle and doting. Why didn't she be so obedient when he asked her to move? She would just hold his neck cutely and shout to be tired...
Seeing that he had been standing for so long, the brother and brother had not seen him yet, Zhao Chen deliberately coughed.
Lin Chongjiu was about to pick up the watermelon when he heard the movement and turned his head to look over. He was stunned. The next moment he stood up 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 watermelon diced Ajixin handed over. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He took two steps and picked up the boy who was willing to be lucky. He carried it to his shoulder and slapped him on his butt, "Why don't you pick me up in front of the door when your brother-in-law is back?"
After he used some effort, Lin Chongjiu screamed in pain, of course he was also making a fuss on purpose, "Brother-in-law, be gentle, it was my elder sister who said she didn't have to pick you up!"
Zhao Chen had already arrived in front of Aji, and while putting Lin Chongjiu back to the ground, he looked at Aji and asked, "Did you really say that?"
He took the joke seriously, and Aji explained helplessly: "Xiaojiu asked if he could go to the palace to find you, where is he able to go? Of course I said no, so let him stay here honestly." When he was in Dengzhou, the palace was out of reach in their eyes and they couldn't even think of it. She slowly understood after marrying Zhao Chen. Her younger brother had a child, so naturally she didn't know anything.
Zhao Chen laughed twice, grabbed the bamboo stick from Aji's hand and put it into his mouth, and then patted Lin Chongjiu on the shoulder after quenching his thirst: "Xiao Jiu practices martial arts well, becomes a guard when he grows up, and can enter the palace."
Lin Chongjiu nodded repeatedly, his eyes bright.
Zhao Chen touched his head, went inside to take a shower and change his clothes. When he got up, he winked at Aji and signaled her to go together. Aji pretended not to see it, and spoke to his younger brother seriously: "Don't listen to your brother-in-law, study hard at home, and take the exam for a scholar in a few years." It's too dangerous to ride a horse and shoot archery. Zhao Chen has a master's teaching, but he can't afford to hire a master at home, so it's safe to study.
Lin Chongjiu was impatient to listen to the elder sister's teachings and ran to please his brother-in-law. It was boring to read, but it was still fun to practice martial arts.
Aju had no choice but to ask the maid to move the table back, and she went inside to change the clothes for Zhao Chen.
In the evening, Zhao Yunting held a banquet in the front yard. Zhao Chen went to accompany the guests in front. Aji himself used the meal at Wangzhuxuan. After the meal, he went around the pond in the back yard. Before Zhao Chen came back, Aji went to the house to prepare gifts for his sister. He had been with his younger brother this day, and almost forgot about this.
Lin Zhu likes beauty the most, so Aji moves the jewelry box to the kang table and chooses the same choice.
Shortly after the first update, Zhao Chen came back, smelling drunk.
Aji frowned. Because she couldn't smell such a heavy smell now, she covered her nose with a veil and asked him in confusion: "Lansheng and Xiaojiu are both children, so they definitely don't drink. Only my uncle is the only adult. Why have you drunk so much?" Could it be that you kept toasting on the table?
Zhao Chen was just a little drunk, just trying to tease his wife. Seeing that she disliked him, he deliberately leaned over to her and hugged someone to kiss her: "I'm happy when my uncle comes. I'll drink two more glasses when I am happy. Aju, are you happy?"
"Go and rinse your mouth quickly!" Aju had no intention of talking to him, and turned his head to dodge.
When Zhao Chen saw that it was ready, he stopped, took a sip on her shoulder, and went obediently.
When he came back, he only wore a pair of thin pants and held a bowl of watermelon diced rice in his hand. Seeing that his wife had already lie down, he first went to the kang, put the bowl on the windowsill, and then carefully picked up Aji. He didn't dare to put it on his legs, so he just let her sit against the windowsill, with a pillow in the middle.
Aji watched him work curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Eat watermelon with me." Zhao Chen sat cross-legged across from her, holding the bowl and looking at her with a soft look. When he came back yesterday, he wasted some effort in Rongshoutang. After returning home, they were wasting too much time. Later, they were busy with intimacy and failed to get close to each other. This day, he was thinking about coming back early to talk to her. Unexpectedly, the guests came again, and they could only sit together now.
There was a lamp on the windowsill, illuminating the watermelon in the bowl with a sensual radiance. Aji opened her eyes and said, "You eat it yourself, I don't want to eat it now."
What to eat? After she got pregnant, she went to Gongfang more and more frequently. After eating this bowl of watermelon, she would have to tossed several times at night. The house was so quiet and the sound of water was rustling. It was embarrassing to think about it. Aji was not as thick-skinned as Zhao Chen, and there was no one around when she let the water go. In the past, the two of them slept together, but she was almost fine at night, and she only went there when he left during the day.
Zhao Chen didn't understand his wife's little thoughts and insisted on her accompanying her. Aji said she would not eat anything and would hide around but refuse to accept the watermelon handed over by the man. Zhao Chen was very disappointed and a little unhappy. He was kind to her, so why didn't she be willing to do so?
The man in front of him suddenly stopped moving. Aji sneaked into Zhao Chen's gloomy face. This was the first time Zhao Chen gave her a cold face after the wedding. Aji was inexplicably scared. Thinking about it, he liked her and fed her. He probably hurt him if he refused like this. Aji gently clenched the cool mat below and explained that she couldn't say anything, so he could only make him happy.
"I really don't want to eat, so I'll feed you." She lowered her head and took the bowl from the man's hand. He held it and kept it on. Aji looked up and begged to look at him. Zhao Chen stared at her expressionlessly, but his hand loosened.
Aji breathed a sigh of relief, and used a bamboo stick to scoop a watermelon diced rice and handed it over.
Zhao Chen pursed his lips and refused to answer.
Aji was not used to getting along with Zhao Chen like this, and he was not used to being so proactive intimate. He thought he was so angry that he didn't want to eat anymore. He felt sad and aggrieved, and he couldn't help but prepare to retract his hand.
"After feeding me this bowl, I will spare you." Zhao Chen grabbed her hand in time and stared at her eyes.
He looked fierce, but his words were full of childishness. Aji was no longer afraid and nodded with a smile.
Zhao Chen pinched her little face like punishment, and then lowered his head and bit off the watermelon diced on the bamboo stick.
The fruit fragrance spread around the two of them. Aji smelled the fresh fragrance of watermelon. When she heard Zhao Chen eat with relish, she couldn't help swallowing quietly. Not wanting to eat or not being greedy is different. Anyone who faces this temptation, wouldn't he be able to resist it?
When she fed Zhao Chen again, Aji couldn't help it and licked her lips.
Zhao Chen's eyes narrowed, and after eating the watermelon in his mouth, he held her face and kissed her.
Aji held a bamboo stick in one hand and held the bowl in the other hand. She couldn't move at all, so she could only lift her head to bear it.
His lips were cold and sweet, deepening her thirst. She couldn't help but respond, greedy for his moistness.
"Are you hungry?" After the kiss, Zhao Chen took the bowl back, pricked the last one and handed it to Aji's mouth, and gasped and advised: "Eat it, let's go to bed after it." It's time to do something else.
Aji didn't want to make him unhappy anymore, so she opened her mouth to answer, lowered her eyes and bit her lightly.
Zhao Chen looked at her foolishly, put the bowl back on the windowsill based on his impression, and lowered his head to kiss her in the ear, "Aju, you are sweeter than watermelon and fragrant..."
Aji turned his head and hid, wanting to greet him but rejected him.
She didn't know what she tasted, but when she lay on the bedding and gave him obediently, Aji thought happily, maybe in Zhao Chen's opinion, she was indeed better than watermelon? Otherwise, why did he finish the watermelon in just a few bites, but she seemed to never let go of her?
After a long lingering relationship, Aji leaned against the man's arms and fell asleep.
When he fell asleep, Aju woke up.
She was extremely embarrassed. She wouldn't have taken that bite if she had known that she would have made him unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen was already alert and noticed that she was moving aside. He immediately sat up, "Where is uncomfortable?"
"No, I had a dream and then woke up." Aji said softly.
Zhao Chen suddenly relaxed. After confirming that it was not a nightmare, he hugged the person again and patted him, "Go to go to bed." He had to get up early tomorrow morning, and he really didn't have the energy to ask her what dream she had.
Aji shrank quietly, rubbing her legs from time to time.
She was so abnormal that Zhao Chen was completely awake. He went downstairs and lit the light before staring at the person and asked, "What's wrong with you? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll ask someone to invite the doctor to go there quickly. Don't hide it." Could it be that he was too active at that time?
Aji could hardly help it. Knowing that she couldn't hide tonight, she sat up with her fate and lowered her head and said, "It's really okay. You go to the kang, I'll go back."
Back? Toilet?
Her voice sounded calm, but her face was not quite right. Zhao Chen was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, he had never met his wife after getting married, so he couldn't help but grab her arm and asked in disbelief: "We have been a couple for so long, are you still embarrassed about this?"
The more shocked he spoke, the less uncomfortable Aji became. He shook his hands and walked backwards.
Zhao Chen immediately followed her with a lamp, "I'll light it up for you."
"I don't need you to shine!" Aju was almost dying of shame.
"I'm not relieved to be dark there." Zhao Chen said seriously. His wife's embarrassment looks the most fun, and he likes to watch it.
Aji had already understood this person's temperament and begged him with a blushing face: "Give me the lamp, I'll go by myself, you 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 anymore, so he obediently handed the lamp over.
Aji took the light and stood there waiting for him to return to the kang.
Zhao Chen had no choice but to fall to the back of the kang and asked her with a smile: "Is this OK? Do I need to cover my ears?"
Aji bit his lip and turned his head and said, "Use it."
Zhao Chen turned around and laughed secretly. When he turned around, he saw his wife staring at him with her eyes, angry and pitiful. Zhao Chen was so soft-hearted that he pulled the quilt and covered his head.
Aji went nervously.
When he came back, Zhao Chen remained motionless as if he was asleep. Aji didn't know whether he was really sleeping or not, so he turned off the lights and went to the kang.
As soon as he lay down, the man covered her with the quilt. Aji's body stiffened, and Zhao Chen hugged the person with the quilt, and kissed him again and again, "Aji, why are you so stupid?"
Aji pursed her lips, why was she stupid? It was obvious that he was too thick-skinned and didn't take this seriously.
"You are so stupid, I like you more and more." As if I expected that my wife would not like to listen to that, Zhao Chen added a soft sentence in her ear.
Aji's body, which was still a little stiff just now, immediately became soft again.
She was so easy to coax, Zhao smiled dullly, his shoulders trembled, and said the last sentence of tonight, "Aji, I heard it..."
What do you hear?
Aji covered his mouth with shame, "You are not allowed to say anything more!"
