After comforting the Jia Zhen, Xia Lu got up and told the Jia Zhen to hide his eyes. Then he called the little girl in and asked her to cook two eggs. The reason was that she accidentally touched her leg when she just got up and wanted to use the eggs to apply it.
The little girl didn't say anything about such a small matter and went straight to the kitchen to cook the eggs.
The Jia Zhen, who had hidden his face well, thought to himself, "This Xia Clan is full of lies. They don't even have a guilty conscience when deceiving others. Obviously, she was too violent and hit him. What do you mean I accidentally touched my leg when I got up?" The Jia Zhen complained in his heart. However, he still hid his face well and didn't let the little girl see the bruises on his face.
The little girl's movements were very fast. It didn't take long before she came back with the eggs. Xia Lu let the little girl go out. She didn't need the little girl to serve her. The little girl understood. She felt that Grandmother and Young Master should have a private conversation. It was better for Young Master to comfort Grandmother than for her to comfort Grandmother. Feeling that she understood the mood between the two masters, the little girl tactfully left.
Xia Lu removed the shell of an egg and sat on the side of their new bed. Looking down at the Jia Zhen, she put the peeled egg on the Jia Zhen's eyelids and rolled it gently.
The Jia Zhen had one eye closed and the other open. He looked at the woman who was treating his eyes. This made him look more virtuous.
After rolling the egg on the Jia Zhen's eyes, there was still one egg left. Xia Lu felt hungry, so she peeled the other egg and took a bite under the Jia Zhen's incredulous eyes.
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat?" Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen's eyes and felt strange.
"Woman." The Jia Zhen gritted his teeth. He wanted to take back what he just said. This woman was easy to change mountains and rivers, but hard to change a person's nature. Virtuous and whatnot was just an illusion. No, he still wanted to divorce her.
Xia Lu didn't understand the Jia Zhen's inner thoughts. She really thought that the Jia Zhen was hungry, so she threw the half-eaten boiled egg into the Jia Zhen's mouth. Anyway, the wound on the Jia Zhen's face was inadvertently caused by her. This egg was boiled to treat his wound. If he wanted to eat it, she would give him half of it. She could find something else to eat later.
Half of the egg was thrown into the Jia Zhen's mouth. At this time, he was lying on the bed, so he couldn't vomit. He could only chew and swallow the egg. After eating the egg, the Jia Zhen stared at Xia Lu. "Woman, you actually let me eat the food that I have already eaten. Do you know what the Three Obedience and Four Virtues are?"
"As for the Three Obedience, you should follow your Husband when he goes out. You should obey your Husband's orders. You should blindly follow your Husband's mistakes. As for the Four Virtues, you should wait when your Husband beats you. You should be willing to spend money. You should endure when your Husband is angry. You should remember your Husband's birthday. Don't worry, I know all about it." Xia Lu smiled. Under the Jia Zhen's anger, she said the new Three Obedience and Four Virtues that she found on the Internet in her previous life. Unfortunately, she could never go back.
"Xia Family, how did you study? The so-called Three Obedience refers to the obedience of the father before marriage, the obedience of the husband after marriage, and the obedience of the son after the husband's death. The Four Virtues refer to women's virtues, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's achievements. Where did your Female Precepts go?" the Jia Zhen said.
"Of course I know. I'm just telling you a joke. But the Three Obedience and Four Virtues in the Female Precepts are just for show. Don't take it too seriously," Xia Lu said indifferently.
"What do you mean? As a woman, you must obey the Three Obedience and Four Virtues. "The Jia Zhen was so angry that she was almost speechless.
"Think about it. We are enemies now. You want me to obey the Three Obedience and Four Virtues to an enemy? Dream on. Besides, what does it mean to obey the Husband after marriage, and follow the son after the husband's death? If the husband and son after marriage are useless, this family still needs this woman to carry. As the saying goes, women can hold up half the sky. Do you understand?" Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen with dead eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I useless in your eyes? "The Jia Zhen was furious.
Xia Lu rolled his eyes and said, "No, I mean most of the men in the world. But you are different. You have a good appearance and a good family background. Although your personality is a little bad, your flaws can't obscure your beauty. You are still very outstanding." Xia Lu suddenly thought that it would be good if he could tame the Jia Zhen. After all, in the future, he would be the head of the family in Ningguo Province. Jia Jing would definitely give the power of the family to the Jia Zhen. How could he get the power of the family from the Jia Zhen? Of course, he had to tame the Jia Zhen now.
"I have always been very outstanding." The Jia Zhen was proud of himself, although he felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
"Yes, yes. You are the best. You are the best. You are a man of your words. Even if I hit you by accident, you are a great man who doesn't mind my mistakes. You didn't tell anyone about it and let your wife know. Then, she will punish me." Xia Lu praised him without thinking.
"Of course. Only I can be so magnanimous and not care about it. So, you have to listen to me obediently. If you don't listen to me, I won't be so easy to talk to." Jia Zhen reached out and pointed at his eyes, indicating that if such a thing happened again, he would definitely tell Madam.
Xia Lu rolled his eyes. Well, he failed to tame the Jia Zhen, this scum.
"I will go out and arrange the dowry. You can rest." Xia Lu felt that if he didn't calm down, he would not be able to control the power in his body. Click, click, click. He would completely destroy this scum.
"Go." The Jia Zhen was in a very good mood and let him go.
Xia Lu walked out of the bedroom and went directly to the room where her dowry was stored. Looking at her dowry, Xia Lu felt that it was quite considerable. In this era, an ordinary family would probably be able to provide for two generations of a rich life. However, this amount of dowry was not enough in Ningguo Province. After all, she had become rich in war. At that time, she had robbed many good things. Most of her dowry was provided by Ningguo Province. But since it was given to her, they naturally wouldn't ask for it back.
However, they wouldn't ask for it back. It was only now, when Ningguo Province and Rongguo Province were at their most prosperous. In the future, when Duke Rongguo died and Jia Jing became a monk, Rongguo Province and Ningguo Province would deteriorate day by day. In the end, they wouldn't even be able to take out a few thousand taels of silver. They would just let Yingchun marry him directly. It was simply speechless.
Xia Lu carefully checked the dowry. These dowry were the things she needed to settle down in this era. Whether it was in the modern era or in the ancient era, it was good for a woman to have money on her body. Only when she had money would she not be afraid no matter what she encountered.
While Xia Lu was carefully checking her dowry, the Jia Zhen was lying on the bed. He was a little bored. In this era, there were no mobile phones or iPads to pass the time. Even if he wanted to sleep, he couldn't fall asleep. At this moment, he was a little regretful. He shouldn't have let Xia Clan leave. Although Xia Clan often made him angry, they could also accompany him to relieve his boredom.
As he thought about it, the Jia Zhen suddenly felt thirsty. Just as he was about to ask the maid guarding outside to come in and pour him some water, he suddenly thought of something and the corners of his mouth curved into a big smile. "Xiao Cui, go and call your grandmother over," the Jia Zhen said to the maid guarding outside.
"Yes." Xiao Cui hurriedly went to find Xia Lu.
Xiao Cui arrived at the room where Xia Lu's dowry was stored. She saw her grandmother and the two maids she brought over, Bi Yun and Bi Yue, checking the dowry. Xiao Cui walked over. "Grandmother, Young Master is calling for you."
Xia Lu was a little puzzled and asked, "Do you know what Young Master wants?"
Xiao Cui shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Xia Lu got up and asked Bi Yun and Bi Yue to continue cleaning. She went to take a look. She was afraid that there was really something wrong with the Jia Zhen.
Xia Lu returned to the bedroom and saw the Jia Zhen lying on the bed. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, she asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me? " Xia Lu was a little puzzled.
"I'm thirsty," the Jia Zhen said.
"Thirsty? Why don't you ask the maid outside to pour you some tea? " Xia Lu felt that there was something wrong with this person. He could ask the maid to call her, but he refused to ask the maid to pour him some tea. What was the meaning of this?
"Are you sure you want me to ask the maid to pour you some tea?" Jia Zhen pointed at her own eye socket, her eyes revealing a smile. So what if I'm tormenting you? Who asked you to hurt my eye?
Xia Lu rolled her eyes. Sure enough, she understood that this person wouldn't stop looking for trouble as long as he lived. This guy was deliberately tormenting her. Xia Lu suppressed the anger in her heart and walked to the table. She poured a cup of tea for the Jia Zhen and handed it to him on the bed. "Do you still need me to feed you some tea?"
"That's not necessary." The Jia Zhen took the tea and drank half a cup. Then, he handed the cup to Xia Lu and said, "I've finished drinking. You can go about your business. You don't have to watch over me."
Xia Lu glared fiercely at the Jia Zhen, put down the teacup, and went out to continue counting the dowry.
"Grandma, Young Master is looking for you." After about two hours, Xiao Cui came to find Xia Lu again and said that the Jia Zhen was looking for her.
"Okay." Xia Lu really didn't want to be tormented by that idiot, but for her image, she pretended to be gentle on the surface. In her heart, ten thousand alpacas whistled through the air. She got up and went to the bedroom.
"What's wrong this time?" Xia Lu was expressionless, but in her heart, she was already chopping the Jia Zhen into pieces.
"I'm hungry," the Jia Zhen said.
Xia Lu clenched her fists. She didn't know whether to curse or not. He had clearly eaten so much cake earlier. Moreover, he was lying on the bed and didn't exercise. How could he be hungry now? Wasn't he afraid of eating too much? Xia Lu thought in her heart. Just you wait. When the wound on your face is healed, I'll deal with you. "Wait, I'll go find you something to eat." Then, she turned and left.
