The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

The once handsome and gentle Chu Qing was no longer the same as before. Now he was black and blue, with a messy stubble hanging around his mouth, and he became extremely embarrassed.

Occasionally he staggered as he moved around, looking like he was exhausted and drained.

Compared with him, Bai Jingjing next to her looked a little gray, but she looked little different from her appearance before she left.

There was even a hint of charm that didn't belong to her in the water flowing between her brows.

Aunt Chu had already received the news and was waiting at the door.

Needless to say, it must have been the group of people who always guarded the village entrance who came to tell us in advance.

Seeing them, Aunt Chu immediately greeted them with great joy.

It wasn't summer yet, and the breeze was still a bit cool. She was holding a thin dress in her hand, which she draped over Chu Qing's shoulders without any explanation.

"My son, you are finally back! I have missed you so much these past months."

In her excitement, she ignored what was wrong with Chu Qing and wiped her tears while talking.

"Mother──"

Chu Qing was equally excited to see her. Hearing what his mother said, he was moved to tears.

The mother and son met to reminisce about old times, but they coincidentally ignored the standing Bai Jingjing.

Bai Jingjing coughed twice, and then the two of them noticed her.

"Why don't we go inside first?"

Bai Jingjing reminded that they had run out of money all the way back from the capital, so they had to walk as much as possible.

The two of them were already exhausted.

Especially Chu Qing, whose body and bones were worse than hers.

I stopped and stopped several times along the way, calling for a rest.

"Yes, yes! Come in quickly!" Aunt Chu also forgot about it all of a sudden. After hearing this, she nodded hurriedly and made way for the two of them to come in. "We just finished cooking. Let's eat the hot food first to warm our stomachs..."

After having a good meal and cleaning up, Chu Qing finally regained some energy, but the tiredness and dark blue color in his eyes could not be eliminated.

Over the years, all aspects of the family's affairs have been maintained by Aunt Chu, and Chu Qing has been pulled by her to grow up.

Therefore, mother and son have a deep relationship.

Due to the surprise of the previous meeting, Aunt Chu did not notice some detailed changes in Chu Qing. Now they are free, sitting face to face and chatting.

But something was wrong.

"My son." Aunt Chu looked confused and worried, "Could it be that your trip didn't go well, otherwise why, why would you be in such a mess?"

"Mother……"

Chu Qing seemed a little hard to talk about, mainly because there were some things he didn't know how to say.

His family placed all their hopes on him, hoping that he could pass the scientific examination in one try.

Originally, he was very confident in his talent and learning. After all, although he could not be said to have a photographic memory when reading, he could still remember most of an article after reading it. After reading it three times, he not only memorized it, but also remembered it. You can recite the entire article.

As a result, the private school teacher in the village even personally recommended him to the teachers in the town.

However, he was grateful for his mother's hard work and did not want to stay away.

Even so, he would occasionally go to literary gatherings in the town to communicate and discuss with other scholars, and he would always be either the first or the second.

"Is it possible? With my son's ability, he has no confidence in this exam?"

Chu Qing lowered his head and shook his head, and said slowly: "That's not true. Compared with previous scientific examinations, the difficulty can only be considered medium."

"Then what makes you so embarrassed?"

Aunt Chu asked more and more anxiously.

Chu Qing's face turned blue and white, and after his mother's questioning, he finally let go.

But Bai Jingjing opened the curtain, had washed up again, and walked out with a brand new look.

Chu Qing's mouth opened halfway and closed again when he saw her.

"Mom, sir, what are you talking about?"

Bai Jingjing walked over with a curious look on her face.

Instead, Chu Qing turned away and said hesitantly: "No, it's nothing!"

Aunt Chu didn't notice. Seeing that her son was hesitant, she asked Bai Jingjing directly.

"I just asked him how he felt this time, but he was fine and didn't dare to tell me."

Aunt Chu set her sights on Bai Jingjing, "If he doesn't tell, you tell."

What did Bai Jingjing think was the matter? Seeing Aunt Chu's concern, she said nonchalantly: "My husband is just a little acclimatized and his spirit is a little bad. Don't worry, mother, there will be no problem!"

She seemed more confident than Chu Qing, the client.

For a moment, Chu Qing didn't know whether he was happy that she believed in him, or...

Anyway, his thoughts about Bai Jingjing are very complicated now.

Aunt Chu was shocked when she heard this. She clapped her thigh and complained that she had not thought of this in advance.

After blaming herself, she suddenly lowered her face and spoke unkindly to Bai Jingjing.

"Didn't you say that you would take good care of my son if you went along? Why did he become like this?"

Bai Jingjing only felt that she was wronged. She couldn't bear the blame for Chu Qing's dissatisfaction.

But she also knew that she couldn't refute at this time, so she just bowed her head silently.

Aunt Chu didn't know how to give up when she was satisfied, so she started to preach in front of Chu Qing.

Although Chu Qing felt that some of his mother's words were not pleasant, she still did not stop her. No matter what she said, she was still his mother.

As Bai Jingjing is his wife, she has the obligation to be filial to Aunt Chu and always treat her with respect.

After going out for a trip, Bai Jingjing's eyesight improved, and so did her mood.

Outside, especially in the capital, everyone you see is either rich or noble.

In the past, her vision was limited to the village. She only thought that the town was prosperous enough. Unexpectedly, it was completely incomparable with the capital city. It was like a sky and a place.

Those dignitaries dressed elegantly and luxuriously, just passing by, their aura makes people feel heartbroken.

But for such a big shot, the people around her may not be much better than her.

How does this make Bai Jingjing feel comfortable!

But even if you regret it, the fact that you are married cannot be erased.

Bai Jingjing could only suppress those thoughts that were about to come up and comfort herself, knowing that Chu Qing might not be worse than those people in the future.

After all, before she died in her previous life, Chu Qing passed the imperial examination, moved to the town, and was about to become an official.

Maybe you can get promoted step by step in the future.

Thinking of this, she warned herself over and over again that she needed to be patient. Anyway, the old woman was old and she might die at some point.

When she gives birth to a baby in the future, everything she knows will belong to her baby.

Aunt Chu said so much, mainly because she was angry that Bai Jingjing had gone and didn't help Chu Qing, so she might as well have stayed at home.

It was getting late, and when she saw Chu Qing looking sleepy, Aunt Chu finally stopped talking and waved her hand for the two of them to go back and have a good rest.

"Then mom needs to rest early, so we'll leave first."

Chu Qing stood up, and Bai Jingjing immediately followed him back to the familiar bedroom.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Bai Jingjing closed the door with a bang.

Chu Qing was startled.
