Xia Lu returned to the Sakura Temple.
His entire body appeared to be extremely exhausted.
"What's wrong with you?" The Jia Zhen saw Xia Lu.
She put down the book in her hand.
She couldn't help but find it funny.
She had just gone out to attend a flower party. Why did it seem like she had gone to war.
"I'm so tired." Xia Lu sat beside the Jia Zhen. She felt indescribably tired.
"Do you want to take a bath first or set the table first?" the Jia Zhen asked.
"Let's set the table first." Xia Lu touched her stomach.
She was starving.
Xia Lu was very tired.
After she had breakfast today, she didn't eat much.
She hadn't eaten much since then. Although there were snacks on the table,
But.
With so many grannies and madams around, it wasn't good for her.
She ate in front of so many people.
Not only could she not eat the snacks.
She couldn't drink too much tea either. It was like having someone do the work.
"Okay." The Jia Zhen ordered the maid to start setting the table.
Looking at Xia Lu's exhausted appearance today, he felt a faint heartache.
He waved away the maid who was waiting on her and then started to eat.
He first scooped a bowl of rice for Xia Lu.
"Eat."
Xia Lu quickly picked up her chopsticks.
She started to eat. If she didn't eat anything, she felt that she was going to faint from hunger. Sure enough, it wasn't so easy to be a gentle and virtuous wife.
Seeing that Xia Lu had already started eating and didn't wait for him to pick up his chopsticks to pick up the food before eating, Jia Zhen didn't particularly mind. However, he still thought that Xia shi, this violent woman, was indeed different from other women. Thinking back to Qian shi in the past, even if she looked down on him, she would always abide by the rules every time they ate. He picked up his chopsticks first and picked up the food before she picked up her chopsticks to eat. Not only was this different, the Qian Clan was very particular about their meals. When she picked up the food, the maid beside her would pick it up with the serving chopsticks and put it into her bowl. They would never do something as inelegant as picking up the food themselves.
However, the Xia Clan was not so particular. When the two of them ate, they never needed anyone to serve them. Moreover, they were extremely unparticular. There was no concept of serving chopsticks at all. In her words, since they had already helped each other in times of need, there was no need to be so particular. That was why she fed him while eating.
"Eat slowly. No one will fight with you. Be careful not to choke." The Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu's eating speed and shook her head. As expected of the daughter of a general, she was not particular. She ate slowly and chewed carefully. She was not like her, who wolfed down her food. However, seeing that she had such an appetite, he also had an appetite. The Jia Zhen scooped a bowl of rice for herself, slowly picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.
"You have no idea how hungry I am. There are clearly snacks on the table, but no one touches them. I'm too embarrassed to eat in front of so many women. I can't drink too much tea either. You're right. There's really no point in attending this kind of flower party," Xia Lu said as he ate.
"Pfft, can you not make me laugh while I'm eating?" The Jia Zhen was about to die of laughter. Thinking back, Xia Lu did not believe what he said before. What was so fun about that kind of flower party? "When my leg recovers, I'll take you to Zhuangzi. You can ride horses and hunt in Zhuangzi. It's much more fun than that kind of flower party." "Thank you.
However, when you take me to Jiangnan, I'll thank you even more. "Xia Lu had not given up on her own business blueprint. She really wanted to go to Jiangnan to have a look. As for why she was not in Beijing, it was because Beijing was her mother-in-law's territory. Her mother-in-law would definitely know that she wanted to develop her own business blueprint. Based on her understanding of her mother-in-law, she would definitely think that she was not doing her job properly. It was really outrageous for a good housewife to learn how to do business instead of giving birth to children. Among officials, agriculture, industry, and commerce, the status of a businessman was the lowest. Moreover, Ningguo Province was not short of money. Why would she do this kind of thing?
Thinking of her mother-in-law's attitude, Xia Lu shuddered. Therefore, she still wanted to go to Jiangnan. The farther it was from Beijing, the better. Transportation in ancient times was not convenient. Naturally, news would not spread so quickly. The possibility of her mother-in-law knowing about it was the lowest.
"You want to go to Jiangnan so much?" The Jia Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes." Xia Lu nodded.
"Tell me first. Why do you want to go to Jiangnan?" The Jia Zhen asked.
"Didn't you say that the women of Jiangnan are as gentle as water, as beautiful as pear blossoms in the rain? I also want to see them, okay?" Xia Lu smiled. She was not stupid. How could she tell her real purpose? However, didn't Mr. Ji Xianlin say that she didn't tell any lies and didn't tell the truth? Jiangnan women were a very important part of her purpose of going to Jiangnan.
The Jia Zhen squinted at Xia Lu and asked, "Women? You're not really interested in women, are you?"
"What do you think?" Xia Lu said. Even though she was a woman, it did not prevent her from admiring women. Thinking back to her previous life, the boss of their company was a woman. Moreover, she was a divorced woman. She was very capable. In the end, she was able to build such a big brand and develop the company so well. Moreover, the company was already listed. When their boss fought in the business world, she was not inferior to men. She admired her boss very much.
The Jia Zhen pursed her lips. She was a little angry and said, "You are not allowed to like women. You are my wife."
"Who is whose wife? Little Zheng's dear wife, have you forgotten how you called me Husband before? When little Zheng's wife called my Husband affectionately and coquettishly, I almost couldn't control myself." Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen innocently. Suddenly, she thought of the way the Jia Zhen looked when he called her his wife. What a weak and submissive man. He needed a strong woman like her to love him. After eating a bowl of rice, Xia Lu was full of energy and was very happy to tease the Jia Zhen.
"You forced me to do that." The Jia Zhen's ears were slightly red. He had never seen such a hateful woman.
Xia Lu shrugged her shoulders and said, "Alright, it's all my fault. I forced you to do this."
"Hmph." The Jia Zhen turned his head and ignored this glib-tongued woman. She was not serious all day long. However, it couldn't be. Did this woman really like women? The Jia Zhen felt that the hat on his head was a little green.
Xia Lu saw that the Jia Zhen was really angry. She rolled her eyes and moved her chair from across the Jia Zhen to the Jia Zhen's side. She said, "You are really angry. I was just teasing you. I saw that you were in the room all day, holding a book. Didn't you look a little pitiful? So I deliberately teased you. I didn't want to make you angry. "
"Hmph." The Jia Zhen was not angry after being coaxed by Xia Lu. However, he rarely saw this violent woman being so submissive, so he did not want to calm down so quickly.
"Okay, okay. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have called you my wife. How about this? You call me back. Then we are even," Xia Lu comforted her.
"You should have called me Husband. I called you my wife. What do you mean by even?" The Jia Zhen was dissatisfied.
"You are willing to talk to me. You are not angry anymore. Let's hurry up and eat. It's already so late," Xia Lu said. She deliberately picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of the Jia Zhen's favorite mutton for him.
The Jia Zhen thought to himself, If you weren't teasing me, we would have finished eating long ago.
The two of them began to eat in silence. In order to express their sincere apologies, they picked up food for the Jia Zhen from time to time. The Jia Zhen saw that Xia Lu did not pay attention and directly used his own chopsticks to pick up food for him. He could not help but show some disdain in his eyes. However, he still ate all the food that Xia Lu picked up for him.
After the Jia Zhen and Xia Lu finished their last mouthful of food, both of them were satisfied. Xia Lu was satisfied because he finally felt full after being hungry for a whole day. The Jia Zhen was satisfied because eating with Xia Clan really made her have a better appetite.
After eating, Xia Lu was a little lazy. Therefore, she did not sit at all. The Jia Zhen, who had seen Xia Lu's rougher side, was already used to it. Anyway, this woman was very good at pretending in front of others. Even if he said that this woman was not particular at all and was very violent, no one would believe him. The Jia Zhen picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Xia Lu. Then she poured a cup of tea for herself and took a small sip.
"Hey, you haven't told me when you will take me to Jiangnan," Xia Lu said lazily.
Because of Xia Lu's words, the Jia Zhen had not swallowed a mouthful of tea in her mouth. "Cough, cough, cough …" The Jia Zhen coughed violently a few times.
Xia Lu quickly sat down and patted the Jia Zhen's back. Just as she was getting ready, Xiao Cui, Xiao Fei, Bi Yun, and Bi Yue appeared.
"What's wrong? Is Master sick? "Xiao Cui asked.
"Master accidentally drank tea just now and choked," Xia Lu said gently.
"Master, why are you so careless? Should I call the doctor over?" Xiao Cui despised the Jia Zhen very much. Master was already an adult, but he was still like a child. He could even choke on tea. Grandma had been busy the whole day and was already tired. Now that she was back, she still had to take care of the troublesome Master. It was really tiring.
"No need." The Jia Zhen squeezed out these two words from his throat.
"Yes." Xiao Cui looked at Xia Lu worriedly.
"You all go and rest. I'll take care of Master. You must be tired from the whole day," Xia Lu said as she patted the Jia Zhen's back.
"Yes." The four girls heard Xia Lu's words and did not say anything else. Before they left, they cleaned up the plates and left the bedroom.
"Are you okay?" Xia Lu asked as she gently patted the Jia Zhen's back.
"Master, who did this to you?" The Jia Zhen glared at Xia Lu. This two-faced woman pretended to be virtuous in front of outsiders. How hateful.
"I didn't do it on purpose. Who knew that you would choke? So, you have to be more careful when drinking tea in the future. If something happens, I don't want to be a widow at such a young age."
"You jinx. Even if you die, Master will live well," the Jia Zhen said angrily.
Xia Lu thought to herself, That's not necessarily true. You're older than me, and modern statistics have shown that women generally live longer than men. It would be difficult for Jia Zhen to live longer than her. However, Xia Lu saw that the Jia Zhen was really angry this time, so she did not say anything.
"About going to Jiangnan, Master has thought it through. I won't go there as long as I live," the Jia Zhen said angrily. Don't even think about going to Jiangnan to see the beauties.
"I'll go with you. Madam will definitely not let you go alone." Xia Lu was not afraid.
