The wealthy man who wears books

Ju Sheng looked back at Zhong Xin, his face was full of astonishment.

Zhong Xin shook his head calmly, and said to himself: "No, he definitely won't just run away without making a sound."

That's what he said, but faintly, he could also see a trace of deep doubt and disappointment in his squinted eyes.

He took a deep breath, motioned Ju Sheng to step aside, and stretched out his hand to forcefully push the bedroom door.

Suddenly, at the wing room on the side of the main room, there was a "squeak", and the door opened.

Zhong Xin and Ju Sheng turned around at the same time, and in an instant, Zhong Xin only felt a buzzing in his head.

His eyes became hot, the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably, and he cried out in a low voice:

"mother!"

It was Zhong Xin's biological mother Ding Xiang who came out of the wing room.

And supporting her by her side, apart from the two old women who often serve her today, is Qin Huai, the youngest grandmother in a red long gown who is about to be remarried as a bride.

Ever since He Yiru brought her back, Lilac has indeed been seeking medical advice and inquiring about her health and well-being in order to appease Zhong Xin and also to show outsiders her virtue.Therefore, during this process, Ding Xiang's body and condition really improved a lot.Although the madness has not been completely cured, it is obviously stronger than the one just brought back.

In the past few days, Qin Huai, apart from seriously pondering several products of the Zhong family and doing some analysis secretly in a small notebook, was thinking about the bridal chamber today.

He knew that no matter what era he was in, the wedding ceremony was one of the most important things in life.

In many cases, the noisy and festive ceremony, although cumbersome and old-fashioned, is an indispensable node and souvenir in the trajectory of life.Especially for the elders, seeing the hard-earned children blossom and bear fruit, the sour and joyful feeling of being a parent is probably incomparable to any other ceremony.

So when thinking that in order to marry the widowed sister-in-law as his first wife, the seventh child will never have the opportunity to hold a grand wedding in this life, Qin Huai felt inexplicably sad in his heart.

But if you push it away and think about it, the eldest wife can drink a cup of bridal tea in a legitimate way, and the birth mother of the seventh child can't even touch the edge of her son's wedding.

So he thought about it, and came up with an idea in his heart.

In the current situation, Qin Huai already knows better than before that he should be more forward-looking and backward-looking when doing things, and try not to cause too much trouble as much as possible.So after thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind that he wanted to make up for Lao Qi as much as possible during the bridal night when he could only give Lao Qi a nominal couple.

Therefore, he secretly planned to find a way to bring Lilac to Bo Chunyuan.According to the rules, the mother-in-law cannot appear in the bride's bedroom before she gets married, so they all waited for Zhong Xin to come in the wing room.

At this moment, seeing Zhong Xin striding towards his biological mother, Qin Huai knew in his heart that he had finally comforted him.

At this time, the two wives had already taken advantage of Qin Huai, and knew that the old seventh was different from the past, so they dared not underestimate them, so they congratulated Zhong with smiles while holding Lilac by the arm, regardless of whether she listened or not. He understood it, so he praised the young mistress for her kindness and thoughtfulness.

Zhong Xin nodded his thanks to the two of them, and subconsciously cast his eyes on his sister-in-law's face. He felt that under the bright moonlight, he, dressed in a red shirt, seemed a little more handsome than before, especially at the tip of his eyebrows. That rouge mole is like a cinnabar seal that I drew on snow wave paper, unconsciously, I am fascinated by it.

Ju Sheng on the other side saw it clearly, quickly nudged him and said, "Seventh brother, this meeting is just a good time, it's rare that my sister-in-law invited my aunt, so why don't you hurry to the new house, salute your aunt, and drink Bride's tea!"

Hearing what he said, Zhong Xin immediately broke free from the slight obsession just now, while taking his mother's arm into his own, while no one else was paying attention, he whispered to Qin Huai:

"Thanks to Mrs. Lao's kindness."

Qin Huai just smiled and didn't answer him, but according to the rules, he supported Jusheng's shoulders, followed the figures of their mother and son, and walked east across the yard slowly.

Before they arrived at the new house, Ju Sheng was clever, and moved out a chair early for Ding Xiang to sit down.He hurriedly searched for two cushions, poured a bowl of tea, and in a short while, prepared a small ceremony.

Although Ding Xiang's mind is still not very clear, she seems to understand a little bit vaguely, her face reveals a look of excitement, and she just mutters indiscriminately, "Xin'er married a wife, Xin'er is married to a wife, right?" ..."

For a moment, Zhong Xin took a deep breath, walked in front of Qin Huai, took his hand lightly, and walked in front of his mother.

"Mother, my son brought a new daughter-in-law to kowtow and offer tea to you today!"

************************************

Thinking about the selected auspicious day, it turned out that tonight was actually the night of the full moon.

After the small ceremony, Ju Sheng and the two wives had already sent Lilac away, and in the quiet Dongkua courtyard, there were only two men in dark red brocade robes left.

Zhong Xin exhaled lightly, glanced at the new house behind him, and whispered to Qin Huai:

"The days are short and the nights are long, the heat is gradually going away, and it's getting a little cold. If my sister-in-law feels tired, she can go back to her room early to rest... How about it?"

Qin Huai's eyes landed on the Four Seasons brocade plant opposite, and saw that strange flower was changing colors at this moment, the trees were full of flowers blooming one after another, there was a kind of indescribable beauty and charm.

At this moment, the full moon and the blooming flowers really came out in response to the kind intention of 'Flowers and a full moon'.

Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat when he heard him asking if he could enter the house or not. Instead, he walked towards the flower tree, picked up a rose-red bud, and said:

"Uncle, I remember that every time the four seasons brocade changes color, you have to water it. Now, don't forget it. After all, as you said, whether the flowers are nourished or not depends on the cultivation of the flowers. How can a person's kung fu..."

When he said this, he seemed to realize that what he said was inexplicably ambiguous, so he hurriedly closed his mouth.

Zhong Xin twitched his eyebrows, the corner of his mouth was half a smile, and said:

"Sister-in-law, you can rest assured that these years, Lao Qi loves and cherishes flowers, and has been working day and night. I can't say how good the effort of nourishing flowers and plants is, but he will never let the flowers wither and the grass will wither. The roots of the flower heart grass have drank enough water, and they have grown up in a good shape."

Having said that, he paused, and said in a low voice:

"Sister-in-law carefully looked at the flowers and trees in this yard, whether they are much stronger than those in the elder brother's main house. Even the flowering days in a year are far longer than those there. So don't worry, sister-in-law, they are the same flowers and plants , but the skill of the flower grower is completely different. Since Lao Qi said that he would be a person who cherishes flowers, he must do what he says."

While the two were talking, Zhong Xin had already brought the watering can over, and carefully poured some water on the Four Seasons Brocade.

Now that the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating and the moon is in the sky, it is really time for the two of them to enter the bridal chamber.

After entering the bedroom, the first thing Zhong Xin did was to turn around and lock the door.

Hearing the crisp cracking sound, Qin Huai felt inexplicably panicked, staring at the only big carved bed in the room, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhong Xin stretched out his hands to untie the slightly tight knots on his neck, and at the same time aimed his eyes at Qin Huai who was a little at a loss, and said in a low voice:

"Since we have already agreed that we are a nominal couple, I still call my sister-in-law. Even if we are in the same room, my sister-in-law doesn't need to panic. Although there is only one bed in this room, my sister-in-law will naturally stay on the bed at night. Qishenzi is very strong, just lay a floor in the corner over there, that's all."

Qin Huai opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, he felt that it was inappropriate for Zhong Xin to sleep on the ground, but he couldn't think of any other way.At this moment, it was already the dead of night, no matter how embarrassed he felt, he had to take off his coat and prepare to go to bed.

With his back facing Zhong Xin, he unbuttoned his long gown, and sat on the edge of the bed wearing only a snow-white undershirt, wondering if he should burn his feet before falling asleep, but he heard Zhong Xin saying:

"Sister-in-law, let's take a rest, and wait for Lao Qi to bring a basin of water for washing feet for sister-in-law, so as to relieve fatigue."

There was a hint of concern in this deep voice, Qin Huai heard it in his ears, but felt his heart flutter.

Because in an instant, he only felt as if he had returned to the moment when he came through the book, and in the midst of ignorance and panic, he heard Lao Qi's voice for the first time.

It's just that at that time, Zhong Ren was still alive, and Que'er was also serving in front of him. After the brother-in-law brought the foot-washing water, he was forced by his elder brother to rub his snow-white toes with his own hands.

But things are different and people are different, the wind turned and the water turned, and he changed himself suddenly, and he has become the person in the room of his brother-in-law.So what will happen after the foot-washing water is served.

Zhong Xin quickly brought out a basin of warm water from the inside, gently placed it at Qin Huai's feet, looked at his snow-white feet, but his Adam's apple inadvertently slipped, and said in a low voice:

"Sister-in-law is going to scald her feet, and I'll go inside and take a shower. After washing, sister-in-law doesn't care about the basin, she just goes to bed and cleans up after I come back."

As he spoke, he took off his outer long gown, and went into the inner washroom with only his middle clothes on.

Although just now he was still saying that the night was a bit chilly, but now his body was singing the opposite tune, unspeakably hot and unbearably hot.No matter in front of his eyes or in his heart, there are all ten soft and white toes of his sister-in-law, which reminded him inexplicably how he wanted to break them off when he rubbed those toes for the first time.

It's just that now, how could he be willing to take such a cruel hand.

After locking the inner door, Zhong Xin stripped himself off cleanly in two or three strokes, pouring basin after basin of cold water from head to toe.

**************************************

In Zhongxia Garden, Yu Tinglan and Zhong Yi's bedrooms were dimly lit, and their figures were swaying slightly.

Zhong Yi had already smoked three cigarettes in a row under the big locust tree, but when he wanted to smoke again, he found that the cigarette case was empty.

He threw the empty cigarette case on the ground irritably, crushed it vigorously, finally took a deep breath, lifted his foot quietly, and went around to the back window of his bedroom.

Zhong Yi knew that the rear window was not like the heavy brocade curtains in front, but only a thin layer of white gauze was hung because of the ventilation.

He sneaked up to the rear window, stood at a corner by the window, and secretly looked into the room. The white gauze was thin, and it was even more transparent under the light, so the room was unobstructed.

I saw Yu Tinglan lying on the rocking chair in the room with her stomach upright, probably feeling the heat, she was only wearing a very thin layer of gauze, which was loose and loose, revealing her white and tender body after pregnancy.

But at this moment, there was a person leaning forward, with a face completely bent over her snow-white chest.

Zhong Yi's whole body seemed to be frozen outside the rear window, and his two calves were shaking suddenly, as if he might go limp at any time.Because he could see very clearly that the person with his whole face bent over Ting Lan's chest was Zhong Zhi, the sixth younger brother of Sanfang.

But now Zhong Zhi's appearance, not only has the love between lovers, but also seems to be listening to the fetal sound in Yu Tinglan's belly.Regardless of the possibility, Zhong Yi felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

After a while, Zhong Yi didn't rush in and beat and scold the adulterer like many husbands who caught the adulterer on the bed, but quietly left through the back window and quickly left his yard through the corner door .

To be honest, although the scene just now was both shameful and horrifying to a man, Zhong Yi didn't feel unexpected the moment he saw that scene.

In other words, that scene was in his expectation.

This dignified Second Young Master of the Zhong family was actually cuckolded by his half-brother.

He originally left the room after answering the company's call, but now he forgot his original intention, and unknowingly, he walked into Zhong Xiu's yard.

When seeing the second brother suddenly appear with a dejected look on his face, Zhong Xiu looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly called the maid over, whispered a few words, and after a while, the small kitchen sent some Side dishes of wine and a jug of old wine.

"Second brother, you need to be happy when you are happy in life. Maybe you can have a drink or two to relieve your worries when you are not happy in life. Although my sister is not strong enough to drink, I can have a drink with you today. I have been thinking about it for the past few days. Too much, I actually feel that we have been too passive in many things recently, and let others take the initiative. With this little wine, if my brother has anything to say, my sister will listen attentively, what my sister thinks in her heart, brother I also came up with an idea, in short, in the second room of the Zhong family, we must not be so passive anymore!"

Zhong Xiu's words obviously touched Zhong Yi's heart. He looked straight at his sister for a long time, and the two smiled at each other. In the night, the wine glasses touched each other lightly.

When Zhong Yi was having a drink in Zhong Xiu's room, a petite and slender figure hurried out from the back corner door of Zhong's back garden.

When the doorman saw her, he immediately put on a flattering smile.

"Sister Bi'er, a busy person, has time to go out for a stroll. My family is used to seeing those idlers, but my sister is the one who comes out the least. I'm here to tell my sister that there is a new sugar blower on the back street today, and he said yes. It's delicious and fun, my good sister, if you see it when you go shopping, you can help me bring one back."

Bi'er smiled sweetly at him, "Leave this door for me, let alone a sugar figurine, even a dough figurine sister can bring you a cart, if the door is locked when I come back, but Watch out for the muscles in your legs!"

While joking with the boy, she looked around for a while, then quickly walked along the back street into the crowd.About to walk to the center of the street, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, he twisted into a sugar shop, and went directly to the private room on the second floor.

In the private room, a tall man with a high nose, deep eyes and rather foreign features was leaning against the window drinking sugar water. When he saw her come in, he smiled at her.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, did you lose weight again? Just now I looked down at you from the window, why is your waist so slender, it's really not enough to hold!"

Seeing him speak, Bi'er praised her words, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face.

"No wonder Second Miss always says behind her back that Young Master An is used to saying these sweet words to coax people, but this should be said to Second Miss who understands elegance. As a servant, it doesn't matter if I'm slim or not. Serve people's lives!"

The young master An she was talking about was exactly Zhong Xiu's lover, An Xingsheng.

Hearing what Bier said at this time, he put down the sugar water, stood up and walked in front of her, staring at her with peach blossom eyes.

"The one who serves people doesn't necessarily have to be a girl. Could it be that if I want to marry a aunt with a slender waist, she won't serve me?"

Bi'er's face was both happy and ashamed by what he said, but her usual shrewdness remained in her eyes.

"But I don't know who can have such a good life to be the aunt of Young Master An. Sigh, I don't want to hear more about such things, but the Young Master secretly asked me to come out again this time, but I don't know why?"

An Xingsheng saw that she was so moved and blushed by him, but soon got back to business, and felt that he could use this girl when he fell in love with him at the beginning, and he really didn't miss it.

"It's good to talk about the business first, but last time you said that the entire Zhong family has not found the secret recipe, and it has been a long time, and there is no new news?"

Bi'er took a sip of the sugar water he ordered for herself in advance, and said in a low voice: "Master An seems to be a prophet. I was wondering why you didn't come to find me these days, and you really did. In the past two days, there are some signs of the secret recipe, but who would have thought that it would have something to do with that aunt."

An Xingsheng frowned, and listened to Bi'er explaining to him.

After the sugar water in the cups of the two of them was exhausted, An Xingsheng was silent for a while, then said to Bi'er:

"In this way, it is very likely that the thing is in the hands of the seventh son of Zhong's family. I should not be bad at that guy. He must be a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. It is the second and sixth young masters of your family. In one place, it may not be his opponent."

Bi'er wondered: "Master An has only met him a few times, and he speaks so badly about him, but in our Zhong family, we don't feel this way. Even if the eldest wife reuses him now, it's just that the eldest wife is useless." People can be used, just make the bigger one out of the dwarfs."

An Xingsheng smiled, instead of arguing with her, he just whispered:

"It doesn't matter whether he is powerful or not at this moment, you just follow what I said, while still secretly inquiring about the news of the big house, and at the same time report the news to your second lady, but if the news is very important, you must Tell me first, and then I will decide whether to tell Zhong Xiu, do you understand what I mean?"

Bi'er nodded, and glanced at An Xingsheng with some resentment.

"Of course I understand, it's just like this, how can Bi'er see Second Miss in her heart..."

An Xingsheng took out his hand from his pocket, slowly took Bi'er's hand, and then unexpectedly a top-notch jade bracelet emerged from the palm of his hand, and he put it on her wrist.

"Is there anything I can't see her for? If she makes a big deal for you to match me with a more handsome servant in the future, it will be considered as your burning incense. But I am different. I have the same hobbies as the ancient king of Chu. I just want to Marrying a beautiful woman with a thin waist to be your aunt will be enough for you."

Bi'er was dazzled by the jade bracelet, and when she heard An Xingsheng's promise-filled tone, she couldn't help but bit her lip and nodded desperately at him.

*****************************************

After Qin Huai finished washing his feet, he was thinking about whether to leave the water for him to pour, as Zhong Xin said, when Zhong Xin had already walked out of the room.

At this moment, he was only wearing a small gown with exposed arms, and he had obviously just washed his body, and his whole body smelled of water, highlighting the natural masculinity of the young man, which made Qin Huai feel that In the whole room, his figure was everywhere, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.

Zhong Xin walked up to him in two steps, picked up the copper basin and left, Qin Huai secretly glanced at his back, took a long breath, and quietly got into the red silk quilt, only showing his face outside.

Zhong Xin poured the water back, glanced at him in the quilt, spread the quilt on the side of the bed expressionlessly, walked to the lamp in the bedroom, and said:

"Today is the first night that my sister-in-law and Lao Qi are together. Lao Qi has been a lonely ghost all these years. Lao Qi really doesn't know about such a thing. If she is asleep, sister-in-law really saw these problems in Lao Qi's body, and if she disturbs her sleep, don't get used to me, just wake me up, that's all."

Qin Huai felt a little funny when he saw that he had a straight face and spoke in a serious manner.For some reason, I suddenly wanted to tease him.

"I've written down what Uncle said. Snoring and sleepwalking are nothing. If it's really sleepwalking, it will really wake you up. Otherwise, if you really sleepwalk and fumble around, that's fine. Speaking of which, I just remembered one thing, how did uncle forget, didn’t it be agreed that day, on the first night of the wedding, didn’t uncle want to return the chastity lock on my body?”

As soon as he said this, Zhong Xin was stunned, and subconsciously touched the position of his chest.

He was about to talk to Qin Huai, but for some reason, he suddenly gestured to Qin Huai, and turned his head to the side, as if he heard a very soft sound outside the window.

In an instant, Zhong Xin suddenly turned off the light in the room.

In the darkness, Qin Huai vaguely felt a tall figure getting closer to him...
