Xia Chunyu was not hungry at all, but it was Ye Jiayao’s intention and he was sure to flatter her, but he could not finish all the dishes by himself, so he insisted that Ye Jiayao accompany him to drink some wine.
Ye Jiayao was in a good mood. She drank two cups and told Qiao Xi to add another pair of chopsticks.
The young couple had a little drink and had a special taste.
Xia Chunyu told her about the progress of the other courtyard while peeling shrimp.
” It’s almost the same. We’ll have to paint and I guess it’ll be finished in another ten days, and the details will be renovated. We can all live into the courtyard at Spring Festival.”
Ye Jiayao had calculated that it was October and there were still two months for the New Year.
” I’m afraid I don’t have time to live in the house at New Year’s Day. Don’t forget, I’m in charge now. I can’t escape social engagements, let alone spending the leisure time in the other courtyard. I’m afraid I don’t even have time to go to Zhenjiang.” Ye Jiayao was in a headache when thinking about this. It was around the clock to take charge of this job. When opening eyes every day, there was a lot of trivia, and she couldn’t ignore it.
Xia Chunyu said with a smile, ” I have a idea.”
Ye Jiayao looked at him suspiciously with her eyes stagnation.
Xia Chunyu fed the peeled shrimp to her mouth and laughed: ” Mother wanted to go back to Hangzhou for a long time, but she has not been able to spare time. Now she has given you the whole family. There is nothing to worry about. I’ll talk to her later. Mother must be happy. Tomorrow the weather will be warmer. I’ll take you to Hangzhou to visit grandmother and bring mom back by the way. Besides, we can stop by Zhenjiang and stay for a few days.”
Ye Jiayao was delighted: ” Really? ”
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrow: ” When did I lie to you? ”
” It would be great if we could really do this.” Ye Jiayao was happy and wanted to propose a toast to Chunyu.
Xia Chunyu wiped his hand and raised his glass. His dark ink-like eyes reflected candlelight and seemed to have ripples of love and honey.
The bottom of his eyes smiled: ” Come here.”
Ye Jiayao followed his words, but her manner was delicate. She said, ” Why? ”
The next moment, she was pulled into his arms, because the action was a bit violent, the wine in the Ye Jiayao’s cup spilled out and fell on his clothes, and immediately spread out a dark color on the Xuan blue brocade.
” Look at you! all spilled! ” Ye Jiayao looked displeased and wanted to wipe the wine stains for him.
” Don’t worry about it.” He looked deeply into her eyes as if there were stars shining. His long arm hooked up her arm: ” I want to drink like this.”
Ye Jiayao blushed: They were a long-term couple. What kind of toast did they have?
” You have a lot of tricks,” Ye Jiayao said with a smile.
He chuckled and said nothing, with burning eyes, and squeezed his hand around her waist.
Ye Jiayao’s face became redder. She drank a cup of wine with him obediently. Just to think of it, his arm still hooked her hand and entered. Ye Jiayao was pulled over by him and his lips were covered with wine fragrance. He gently held her lips and whispered in a bewitched voice: ” Do you want to try something new? ”
The tacit understanding between husband and wife was that couples would know what the other wanted with one expression in eyes and one action, especially in some aspects, and Ye Jiayao had a good understanding and immediately understood the new tricks he referred to .
Was marrying a man who was physically strong and good at flirting a woman’s happiness or disaster? Ye Jiayao’s points were not clear. Well, the process should be very happy. After that, it would be a disaster because she couldn’t get up and would ache all over. Ye Jiayao absently thought that the third aunt was talking about tomorrow at around 10am. Well, she could get up late …
Again, what kind of new tricks did he say? Would it be abnormal?
A little bit nervous …
Before she was nervous for long, she was held by him and they fell on the bed together.
” The food is not tidied up yet …”
” Leave it for tomorrow …”
” But …”
” Concentrate, woman …” Someone discontentedly contained the sensitive point on her chest and did everything he could to make fun of it.
The next day Ye Jiayao did not get up, holding the quilt to watch him dress. He was dressed in a stone-blue bodyguard suit and wearing a black belt, showing his good figure. The whole person looked tough and straight and handsome.
Ye Jiayao felt that she was addict to uniform, especially liked to see him in uniform, who was especially handsome and domineering.
She didn’t know if such people walked around the palace and those women who had not received visit from emperor for many years would dream about it. Would they secretly drool?
” What are you thinking? ” Xia Chunyu finished packing and looked back and saw Ye Jiayao staring at him.
Ye Jiayao looked back and pulled the quilt with some embarrassment to cover herself more tightly.
” Nothing …” Ye Jiayao’s absolutely wouldn’t admit that she was committing anthomaniacs just now and also committed anthomaniacs for other women.
Xia Chunyu smiled, leaned over and kissed her face: ” You can sleep a little longer, I’ll explain it to mom.”
Ye Jiayao’s face was red again. Explain? How did he explain it?
Oh, Majesty mother, your daughter-in-law was knocked down by me last night and can’t get up today?
No matter what he says, she truly couldn’t get up.
After Xia Chunyu’s departure, Ye Jiayao went back to sleep and heard in a daze that someone was asking, ” Hasn’t second lady got up yet? ”
It seemed to be Zhou Xing’s wife’s voice.
” Hush … keep your voice down. Second lady is tired recently and seldom sleeps for a while.” It was Qiao Xi who wass covering up for her.
Ye Jiayao woke up and heard Zhou Xing’s wife ask, ” Did she mention me these days? ”
Qiao Xi lost her smile: ” What’s for? ”
” Oh, that’s good, that’s good.” Zhou Xing’s wife’s tone seemed to be both glad and disappointed.
Ye Jiayao curled her lip. It seemed that Zhou Xing’s wife began to feel uneasy and came to explore Qiao Xi’s tune.
Hum, how dare she to play tricks at her hands? Was she a vegetarian? If Zhou Xing’s wife didn’t know about self – examination, she wouldn’t show mercy next time.
There was no sleep at all. Ye Jiayao directly got up, rubbed her sour waist and couldn’t help feeling some resentment. She wouldn’t try any new tricks in the future. She really can’t stand this trick.
Fortunately, Mrs Rong’s class was in the afternoon, and Ye Jiayao dressed up well and went to see You.
Joe was already here, and today she’s dressed very brightly. By contrast, she looked haggard.
You saw her coming and asked anxiously, “It was said by Chunyu that you’re getting a little cold. Are you better now? ”
It was a universal excuse to catch cold. Ye Jiayao took a sniff on purpose: ” Well, it’s much better.”
You was not at ease and said, ” Nothing matters to you except your health. Though you are busy, you should pay attention to your health. Now it is the time to turn cold, wear more and don’t freeze.”
Ye Jiayao nodded obediently.
Although Zhou said it was around 10am, as the woman’s representative, she always had to go earlier. The old woman and daughter – in – law, together with the duke and Chunli, went to Zhou’s office.
In fact, the next job for the two families was to sit together and had a meal.
Mrs Deng and You already knew each other. They soon said together. The man’s side also had two sister – in – law, accompanied by Ye Jiayao and Joe. As for the men, they naturally joined the third uncle and the duke for social engagements.
Deng’s family was a scholarly family. Deng’s daughter-in-law was also knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. Ye Jiayao had a good impression on them. She thought Jinlian was blessed, at least it wouldn’t be hard to get along with her sister-in-law in the future. Although Mr Deng had six toes, what was the point? It was not an extra hand or a leg. As long as Zhou didn’t make trouble and didn’t give Jinlian bad ideas, Jinlian would have a good family.
At time they were about to take their seat, the maids outside came to report that the third son and the princess Liu Li had come.
Ye Jiayao’s reaction was flat, but Zhou was somewhat surprised.
Didn’t they say that they couldn’t come?
The Deng family heard the name of Liu Li and did not look very good.
Ye Jiayao remembered that Mr Deng’s six-toed affair was exactly spread by Liu Li. Mr Deng was in his twenty and was not able to marry wife, so they had to marry a concubine. Deng’s family must have some bad thoughts about Liu Li.
A moment later, Chunfeng and Liu Li entered the flower hall together.
Chunfeng congratulated his uncle and aunt and presented gifts.
” You don’t need bring gifts. We are happy that you can be here.” Zhou chuckled.
Chunfeng said slightly: ” My cousin’s wedding, naturally, I should come to congratulate her.”
Chunfeng didn’t know about Jinlian until today. He dragged Liu Li over and couldn’t lose his courtesy.
Chun Feng congratulated Deng’s master and Mr Deng again, and later he paid his respects to his parents.
Liu Li smile lightly and followed, only slightly bending her lower knee when she saw You and the duke. The others in turn wanted to salute her, and she also accepted it calmly.
You hadn’t seen Chunfeng for many days, and she missed him very much. When seeing Chunfeng getting much thinner, she was even more distressed.
” Why are you thin again? ” You was concerned.
Chunfeng smiled: ” Recently, I have lost weight due to busy business, but my spirits are good.”
You looked at Liu Li as fatter. She became more dissatisfied and she wanted to give her a few words. However, she was too lazy to open her mouth when thinking about the previous actions of Liu Li.
” Later, when this is over, you and your mother will return to the house,” You explained.
Chunfeng was noncommittal.
Today’s seat was for the man and the woman to sit with flowers, which facilitated communication.
Continuing the previous topic, everyone talked about Ye Jiayao’s Ye’s Dessert House.
” It’s a pity that I know it too late, or I’ll join it,” said Deng’s sister – in – law.
You knew the rules set by Ye Jiayao and said with a smile, ” It’s easy. Let people send a message about what you want to eat in the future and Jinxuan will send it to you.”
She didn’t mention membership.
Ye Jiayao gave You a grateful look.
Liu Li was expressionless all the way. Today she didn’t want to come. It was Chunfeng who wanted to come. She didn’t dare not come. Now she was listening to what people were saying about the dessert house, and her heart was even more uncomfortable. She couldn’t help it. She got angry and said, ” Why so bother to do so? Why don’t you send a card since we are all family? The rules are for outsiders to see and engage in gimmicks.”
