The next day, it was Jiang Ji’s monthly accounting day again.
Jiang Shu returned to Jiang's house. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother first asked about her current condition and confirmed that she was not feeling unwell before letting her go to the hall to check the accounts.
The new year is approaching, and in addition to the monthly accounts, each shop also takes stock of the general ledger for the year, and everyone records the New Year rewards at the end of the year, so today's accounting takes a little longer.
"Princess, the prince is here." Tan Yu reported in a low voice.
Jiang Shu asked after hearing this and found that it was already noon.
After sitting for a long time, Jiang Shu was also a little tired and said, "Let's take a rest for a while and discuss the remaining matters after lunch."
"Yes, Princess." The shopkeepers agreed and stood up to escort Jiang Shu out of the hall.
Yu Zheng was waiting for Jiang Shu in the corridor. When he saw Jiang Shu coming out, he hurried over to greet her.
The shopkeepers who followed him out saw Yu Zheng and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
"The common people have met the prince."
This was the first time they had seen Yu Zheng, and he was so close.
Yu Zheng was dressed in an azure fur cloak, with a long jade body standing beside Jiang Shu. His face was solemn and solemn, calm and intimidating.
With just one glance, everyone was frightened by Yu Zheng's fierce and dignified aura, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the offended man.
"Get up."
With these words behind him, Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu and walked slowly to the flower hall.
Although Jiang Ji and other shopkeepers ate at Jiang's house, no one dared to join Yu Zheng and were arranged in a side hall.
Jiang Ning is not here, and there are only four people in the flower hall: Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu.
The New Year is approaching, and Father Jiang and Mother Jiang asked about their New Year arrangements.
Yu Zheng said: "On the eve of the Lunar New Year, we have to go to the palace for the reunion banquet as usual. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to go to the palace to pay respects and pay homage to our ancestors."
"That's what it should be. Then can you come back in the second year of junior high school?" Jiang's father asked.
Yu Zheng nodded: "I can come back."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang felt relieved when they heard this, and said with a wide smile: "There are many royal rules and etiquette, we can save them. You just go about your business. Just come back when you have time in the second grade of junior high school."
While the four of them were talking, the dishes were placed on the table.
Jiang Shu is already pregnant, so Yu Zheng doesn't need to take it into consideration anymore. Jiang's father asked someone to bring sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine, and they drank happily with Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, and his drinking capacity is not high. After two pots of osmanthus wine, he was already half drunk.
Jiang Shu wanted to discuss important matters with other shopkeepers, so he asked Zhuiyun Zhufeng to help Yuzheng go to Shutongyuan for a short break.
This is not the first time Yu Zheng has set foot in Shu Tongyuan, but it is the first time Yu Zheng has laid down on Jiang Shu's bed.
Compared with the wedding bed between the two of them in the palace, this bed was much smaller. Although the bedding was new, Yu Zheng seemed to be able to smell Jiang Shu's scent when he lay on it.
Yu Zheng hugged the brocade quilt used by Jiang Shu and looked at the pink and purple bed curtains, feeling a sense of wonder in his heart.
Although he was a little drunk, Yu Zheng was not sleepy. He didn't feel sleepy after lying down for a long time. He only felt a little headache.
When Jiang Shu came to look for him after finishing his work, hangover soup just arrived from the kitchen.
"Husband?" Jiang Shu called tentatively.
Yu Zheng, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Shu, frowned and said, "Headache."
Different from his usual cold and calm tone, Yu Zheng's voice at this time was slightly hoarse and nasal, as if he was whispering and coquettish.
Jiang Shu was a little surprised, but then a gentle smile appeared on his face and he coaxed softly: "Then get up quickly and drink the sobering soup. After drinking it, it won't hurt anymore."
Yu Zheng sat up obediently. Jiang Shu took the soup bowl from the maid's hand, blew it to warm it and fed it to Yu Zheng to drink.
"It still hurts." Yu Zheng lay back again, his brows getting tighter and tighter, looking very uncomfortable.
Jiang Shu dismissed the maid, sat down by the bed and said warmly, "I'll rub it for you husband."
"Okay." Yu Zheng agreed happily and moved his head to Jiang Shu's lap, his dark eyes slightly dozing.
Use your slender fingers to gently caress Yu Zheng's forehead, from the center of the eyebrows to behind the ears on both sides and press gently.
After repeating this several times, Yu Zheng finally felt more comfortable, and slowly relaxed his frown.
"Shu'er's hands are really good. It doesn't hurt anymore after rubbing it." Yu Zheng arched upwards, wrapped his arms around Jiang Shuliu's waist, and rubbed his face gently against Jiang Shu's waist and abdomen.
It's great to be a family of three.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng would do this. Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment and chuckled: "It should be the hangover soup that has worked."
"It doesn't matter, it's just that Shu'er is good at kneading." Yu Zheng was stubborn.
After knowing Yu Zheng for such a long time, this was the first time I saw him showing a slightly childish side, with a hint of grievance and cheating, which made the hearts of those who heard it melt.
Jiang Shu raised his hand, fixed Yu Zheng's messy hair, and asked in a warm voice: "Don't you want to leave yet?"
Yu Zheng murmured: "My head is a little dizzy, please lie down for a while."
You can't do anything with your appearance, so it's better to rest before leaving.
Yu Zheng's drinking capacity is really light.
Fortunately, I didn’t drink too much, and the sweet-scented osmanthus brew was soft and mild, so it wouldn’t hurt my body.
After about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Shu yawned lazily.
Usually at this time, Jiang Shu is already taking a nap. I have used up all my energy today, so I am naturally more tired than usual.
Thinking that this was his boudoir and there was no need to avoid any taboos, Jiang Shu said in a tired voice: "Husband, go inside and let's sleep together for a while."
Yu Zheng, who was confused, moved to the inside as instructed. Jiang Shu took off his coat and shoes, opened a corner of the brocade quilt and lay down in it.
The outside was very warm after Yu Zheng had been lying on it for so long. Jiang Shu felt very comfortable and fell asleep in Yu Zheng's arms with heavy eyelids.
Because of the drunkenness, Yu Zheng also fell asleep.
The two of them slept deeply. When they woke up, it was already evening. Jiang Ning had already finished school, so he decided to have dinner before returning to the palace.
After getting up, Yu Zheng looked back at the bed with some reluctance.
Jiang Shu asked him blankly: "What's wrong?"
Yu Zheng sighed: "Shu'er's bed is very comfortable."
Jiang Shu's face heated up slightly when he heard this, and he asked in confusion: "Isn't it the same as the bed in the palace?"
She even felt that the bed in the palace was more spacious and comfortable.
Yu Zheng chuckled and said, "It's different. This is the place where Shu'er slept from childhood to adulthood."
Although they are already sharing a bed as a couple, it will be particularly joyful to blend into each other's past.
Jiang Shu's cheeks turned red as he was teased, and he glared at Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng's heart trembled, he stepped closer and lowered his head to kiss Jiang Shu's forehead.
"Sister, brother-in-law!" The bright and cheerful young man's shout reached his ears through the door.
Yu Zheng froze, wondering whether he should continue.
"Pfft——" Jiang Shu couldn't help but laugh, took Yu Zheng's hand and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Shu knew very well what kind of temper Jiang Ning was.
If they didn't go out, he would keep shouting outside the house until they did.
When the door opened, Jiang Ning looked excited when she saw the two of them.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Yu Zheng was a little annoyed at first, but when he saw Jiang Ning's admiring eyes and bright smile, his unhappiness disappeared.
It was getting dark, and the three of them were chatting while walking outside.
"Sister, brother-in-law, the college will have winter vacation tomorrow. Can I go to the palace to play with you?"
Yu Zheng nodded in agreement: "I'm busy during the day, so you might as well go and accompany your sister."
What Yu Zheng is most worried about is that Jiang Shu will feel depressed in the palace.
After all, before she married him, she was free and could go out as she pleased every day.
After they got married, although he did not restrain Jiang Shu, Jiang Shu stayed in the house every day for his self-restraint.
Furthermore, Jiang Shu is pregnant now and it is inconvenient to go out.
After thinking about it, Yu Zheng felt ashamed of Jiang Shu, so he unknowingly broke her wings and trapped her like a caged bird.
