Bai Xu was deep in thought.
Shi Qingluo looked at him and asked with a smile, “Does your face hurt?”
Bai Xu was speechless. Could they still get along well?
However, a gentleman doesn’t fight with womenfolk.
He asked shamelessly , “Can I have a set of your furniture, and those things in your latrine and bathroom?”
Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at him. “Dream on.”
She and her young hubby had spent a lot of effort making these things and they hadn’t enjoyed them yet.
If this fellow wanted them, he could continue to wait.
Besides, she didn’t want to do so.
Her young husband’s teacher held a higher rank.
It was okay for them to give him a set of it.
Giving one set to Mo Qingling was fine too.
After all, it was a rare opportunity for her young husband to forge such a friendship .
But if others wanted it, then too bad.
Since Bai Xu had spoken, she had used this opportunity to turn it down and prevent others from asking similar requests.
Bai Xu muttered under his breath, so stingy.
As expected, those who were planning to ask for it swallowed their words when they saw that Bai Xu was rejected.
Xiao Hanzheng’s classmates were even more envious of him.
Initially, some felt that it was not worth it for him to marry a village girl.
But now, they felt that he was blessed.
Such a wife was really amazing and interesting.
No wonder Xiao Hanzheng protected his wife so carefully.
Previously, there was a person in the county school who despised his wife as a village girl.
After he taught him a lesson, they did not interact with each other anymore.
Some still felt that Xiao Hanzheng was making a fuss over nothing, but now, Xiao Hanzheng having such an interesting and capable wife was not too bad either.
Moreover, from Shi Qingluo’s appearance and temperament, as well as her graceful and elegant behaviour, it didn’t seem like she was a village girl.
If she gained some weight and did some skin care, she wouldn’t lose to those young ladies from aristocratic families.
After the banquet, Xiao Hanzheng personally sent his teacher back to the county town.
Mo Qingling also followed him back.
The villagers were very grateful to Shi Qingluo and her husband.
They voluntarily stayed behind to help clean up the place.
News of the Xiao family’s new house, as well as the floor tiles, wooden floors, sofas, toilet bowl, toilet paper, showers, and so on spreaded around.
Apart from these, the Xiao family’s fierce and intelligent big black goose, who looked after the house, was also known to the public like a legend.
After that, many people still wanted to visit the Xiao family, but Xiao Hanzheng turned it down.
That night, Mother Xiao, Xiao Baili, and Xiao Erlang returned to their rooms happily.
Xiao Hanzheng and his wife also went back to their new bedroom.
The bedroom was very big.
There was a sliding door closet, a dresser, and a bookshelf.
The most important thing was that there was a large bed made of solid wood in the middle.
Shi Qingluo asked someone to make a soft and thick mattress and laid it on the bed.
By now, Shi Qingluo’s hair was dry from the shower.
She climbed onto the bed in her pyjamas and hugged a big pillow. She leaned on it lazily and comfortably.
Xiao Hanzheng also got onto the bed in his pyjamas. “You’re so happy?”
Shi Qingluo hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. “Of course. This is our home. Aren’t you happy?”
Xiao Hanzheng’s eyes darkened as he allowed her to hook his neck. “I’m happy too.”
He suppressed the urge to eat his little wife. “After I finish high school, let’s have a new wedding reception, shall we?”
When his wife married into the Xiao family, he was still unconscious.
Although he woke up that day, he couldn’t get out of bed, so they hadn’t paid their respects to heaven and earth as part of the wedding ceremony.
There wasn’t a decent wedding banquet either, so he found it a pity.
He also wanted to give his wife the best, so it was more suitable to hold it after high school.
The three great joys in life were: meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and acing an exam.
He could fulfil the last two joys together.
Shi Qingluo did not know that her young husband was already thinking about how to eat her up.
She had only married him because of his beauty and his simplistic family structure.
Therefore, at that time, she did not care about the ceremony or the wedding banquet.
She only had one thought — if she could not stay on, she would divorce.
Now, she really liked Xiao Hanzheng and wanted to be a real husband and wife with him.
Hearing his suggestion, she was naturally happy and kissed his face heavily. “Sure!”
She was just a tacky woman.
Her husband wanted to set a romantic wedding banquet, so of course she was happy.
After a busy day, Shi Qingluo was also tired.
She hugged the big pillow and gradually fell asleep.
Xiao Hanzheng felt that this big pillow was an eyesore.
So he took the pillow out of his little wife’s arms and threw it at the end of the bed.
He blew out the candles and carried his soft and fragrant little wife directly into his arms.
He had a good night’s sleep.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng did not go to the county school.
The school and Mr Hou gave him two days off.
The family had just finished breakfast when a few carriages arrived at their door.
The servant driving the carriage opened the carriage door respectfully.
“Master, we reached the Xiao family’s house.”
Fei Yuzhe got out of the carriage.
After hopping out, he reached out and helped a 13 or 14-year-old youth out.
His eldest brother was more than 10 years older than him, so he was only a few years older than his nephew.
Then, a young man alighted with a folding fan in his hand from the second carriage.
He was in brocade clothes and looked flashy and flirtatious.
Liang Youxiao opened the folding fan and looked at the large courtyard and the house made of green tiles and ceramic in front of him. “This courtyard really complements this bamboo forest. Not bad.”
Then, a few of his servant girls came out of the carriage behind him.
Fei Yuzhe had a headache. “Just follow me. Don’t be picky and talk nonsense when you enter the Xiao family’s house .”
Liang Youxiao was his good friend, who was also a famous and flirtatious duke of an aristocratic family in the capital.
Recently, he had been doing some stuff in the capital.
He was afraid that the elders in his family would break his leg.
When he knew that Fei Yuzhe was bringing his nephew here to see a doctor, he pestered him and insisted on coming along.
Fei Yuzhe had no choice with his continual pestering, so he agreed to bring him along.
Who knew that this fellow would actually bring a few maids along on a trip, and even two carriages of food and clothings.
This made him somewhat regretful.
Usually, this fellow liked to enjoy life.
He enjoyed eating, drinking, and having more fun than him.
He also had some bad habits such as being picky in food and had a foul mouth.
He was really afraid this fellow would be criticising everything in the countryside.
Worse still, he also couldn’t control his foul mouth.
If he offended Xiao Hanzheng, how would his nephew receive his medical treatment?
Hence, before he entered the house, he could not help but warn him again.
Liang Youxiao was speechless. “I know. Don’t be so wishy-washy. Hurry up and knock on the door.
“Didn’t you say that this person providing consultation lives in a dilapidated courtyard? This looks pretty good!
“The road outside is actually paved with cement all the way to the village. The courtyard looks very new too. How is it dilapidated?”
Then, he couldn’t help but be suspicious. “Did you lie to me because you didn’t want me to come with you? That’s not nice of you.”
Fei Yuzhe thought to himself, why would I want to lie to you?
“They just built this new house. It wasn’t here when I was there the previous time.”
He could not be bothered to explain to his good friend anymore, so he got his servant boy to knock on the door.
Xiao Erlang opened the door, with Dumby following behind him.
Upon seeing a stranger, Dumby immediately put on a fierce look and looked at the few of them warily.
It was Liang Youxiao’s first time seeing such a mighty and fierce goose.
He suddenly said, “This goose looks really fat. It would definitely taste good if we stew it.”
