Sunny sunshine, the sun after the rain, Zhuang Xun woke up, and Si Qinmi was gone again. The remaining warmth recalled the beauty of yesterday. Although he didn't do anything serious, it was the first time he consciously hugged his sweet and soft wife. When I go to sleep, I feel happy all over.
My thighs and arms are still a little sore, but they are much better than yesterday, and I can no longer feel the wind and cold. I feel refreshed and refreshed. The blisters have not burst, but my skin has shrunk, so I am recovering.
Zhuang Xun got up and looked for Siqin Mi. When he opened the door, he saw Siqin Mi, neatly dressed and with her hair tied up, bending down to clean the courtyard.
"You are my wife, not a maid." Zhuang Xun stepped forward and grabbed her broom.
"Mr. Lang, do you have a maid?" Si Qinmi smiled lightly.
"No, let's share the housework together." Zhuang Xun said by himself.
"Then what's the point of marrying a wife?" Si Qinmi asked.
"Marrying a wife is for pain, to make up for one's shortcomings, like the other half of one's body. How can one marry a wife to treat her as a maid? Isn't this ridiculous?" Zhuang Xun said speechlessly.
"Everyone in the Yu Kingdom is like this, but you, Lang Jun, are an outlier." Si Qinmi chuckled.
"If I were a normal person, I wouldn't be able to marry you, my wife. I would rather I be more busy so that you can have some leisure time." Zhuang Xun swept the dust and fallen leaves into a pile and said.
"It is undesirable for a husband to be so partial. The female is the main one and the male is the second. Besides, have you recovered from your illness?" Si Qinmi went to pick up the broom, but Zhuang Xun didn't give it to him.
"The cold is gone. My body is a little sore but it doesn't affect my activities. Besides, why do I prefer you? Isn't it still painful to have a wife?" Zhuang Xun said matter-of-factly.
In his opinion, his wife cannot be worshiped like a god or a Buddha, but he cannot boss her around like a master. The best married life is for everyone to understand each other and share responsibilities.
"I'm very happy to be favored, but I can't steal my kitchen." Unable to overcome Zhuang Xun's stubborn temper, Si Qinmi could only take a step back and say.
"Yeah." Zhuang Xun nodded.
After tidying up the house, it felt like home. After washing up, Si Qinmi had already served today's breakfast.
Si Qinmi cooked some vegetable porridge for breakfast today.
"I have to invite His Majesty the King of Wheels today, so I can only keep silent." Si Qin Mi said piously.
"Well, it's okay, I'm just curious about how eating meat counts in the underworld." Zhuang Xun said curiously.
"I don't know, but in the trials I saw, no one was punished for eating meat. Only those who wasted a lot of food were punished. However, it is always right to have a sense of awe." Siqin Mi answered as he picked at the rice porridge. .
"Hmm, let's just do as the Romans do." Zhuang Xun also understood. After all, who can figure out the character of gods and demons? If there is any disrespect, they will not know if they are wearing small shoes.
"Speaking of how to invite gods? I don't understand." Zhuang Xun said curiously.
"If a wealthy family naturally has to hold a temple fair, offer sacrifices and pray, and perform land and water rituals, our poor family does not need to do so many things. We can just go to the City God's Temple to pray and donate money to welcome back the statue or tablet." Si Qinmi explained to Zhuang Xun.
"Do you want to take a bath and burn incense?" Zhuang Xun was curious.
"Of course, the hot water has been heated for Mr. Lang. We are in the side room. Mr. Sir, please remember that sincerity leads to success." Si Qinmi was thoughtful and had made preparations.
"I'm going to buy some tributes and gifts. Didn't the husband say that he would visit Mrs. Chen's house after he recovered from his illness? A person cannot stand without trust. Since you have said it, you must do it. Otherwise, people will think that the husband is out of touch with his words. Just He knows how to boast." Si Qin Miti pointed at Zhuang Xun and said.
"I understand, please ask God today and go tomorrow." Zhuang Xun nodded to express his understanding.
When they arrived at the side room, towels, clean clothes, and hot water were all arranged in an orderly manner, which was pleasing to the eye. Zhuang Xun felt extremely grateful to the King of Wheels at this moment. This kind of wife is no longer lucky, but has won the first prize. .
After taking a bath in the side room, Si Qinmi came up and tidied Zhuang Xun's clothes after leaving the side room.
"Didn't Madam go to buy tribute gifts?" Zhuang Xun stood up straight and accepted Si Qinmi's arrangement.
As she got closer, she could see her flawless dimples, her gentle temperament, tolerant and mature, with a sense of stability and comfort. She was slightly taller than Zhuang Xun, and she looked more like an elder sister getting a crown for her younger brother, not quite. Like a newlywed couple.
"Then I have to say goodbye to my husband and go out. How can I move without my husband?" Si Qinmi smoothed the folds of Zhuang Xun's clothes.
"There's no need for such rules. Our family doesn't have such rules either." Although Zhuang Xun enjoyed being so pampered by Si Qinmi, he didn't want to see her so humble.
"Now that I have it, I want to be a good wife to my husband." Si Qinmi was just practicing the education she had received.
"You are good enough. No matter how good you are, I don't know how to face you." Zhuang Xun hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to hold her hand.
"Xun really likes it in my heart and is touched. Thank you, madam." Zhuang Xun affirmed her behavior. Women need to praise you for being kind to you.
"It's just your duty, why should you..."
"How many people do their duty? Everyone can do their duty. How could this be the case in Yu State? You should receive praise and reward for the right things, and you should accept criticism and punishment for the wrong things. I praise you, my lady. Just accept it happily." Zhuang Xun cut off Siqin Mi's words and said.
"I understand, what the husband said is true." He didn't argue with Zhuang Xun, and smiled without showing his teeth, as if he was carrying a favor.
"I'm going out." Zhuang Xun said goodbye to Si Qin Mi when he arrived at the door. He felt that there was hope in life. He somewhat understood why men would work hard after getting married, not only because of the heavy family, but also for the people they didn't want to let down.
"Lang Jun, let's go slowly." Si Qinmi waved his handkerchief gently. He didn't go home until Zhuang Xun disappeared from sight, packed up his clothes and went out.
There are many people in the City God's Temple. It's no wonder. The more troubled the times, the more superstitious the gods and Buddhas become. It's not surprising that a place like the City God's Temple, where the chief executive rests after his death, is popular.
It just so happened that the Chenghuang Temple was giving porridge today, and there were even more people. Zhuang Xun regretted coming today. Looking at the overwhelming crowd, he felt helpless.
"Zhuang Xiaolian, if you want to offer incense, please come with me and go to the side hall." An elegant scribe reminded Zhuang Xun.
"Thank you. I'm sorry. May I ask your surname and how you know Xun?" Zhuang Xun thanked him first, and then said cautiously.
"I am the scholar of Antai County, He Jung, and Zhuang Xiaolian has become famous. There are several people in Yindu Mansion who don't know Xiaolian." The scribe said with cupped hands.
"It's just a filial piety and a good reputation as a scholar." Zhuang Xun didn't answer this question. He probably got to know him by borrowing a carriage from him a few days ago.
"There is a difference between a scholar and a scholar, and there is a difference between filial piety and filial piety. Xiaolian is the filial piety of Yindu Prefecture. If you become an official, you can enjoy the sixth grade of official title. Yindu Prefecture can only recommend two people a year." He Xiucai Said quite enviously.
"I don't know if I know the truth." Zhuang Xun remained vigilant. He showed courtesy for nothing and was either a traitor or a thief. He had just acquired the status of filial piety and integrity, and someone came into contact with him. How could he not be wary.
"Enter the side hall from now on. I still have something urgent to do. I look forward to meeting you again at Xiaolian's Longevity Banquet." Seeing Zhuang Xun wary of him, He Jung resigned without any further entanglement.
"Thank you for the guidance, brother. Let's meet again at the Longevity Banquet." Zhuang Xun also clasped his fists, thinking about what the Longevity Banquet was.
Entering the temple, unlike the hustle and bustle outside, the Chenghuang Temple was relatively quiet, and Zhuang Xun stopped thinking.
He cleared his mind and respectfully burned incense to thank the King of Wheels for arranging the marriage. He really liked Si Qinmi now, which satisfied all his good impressions of a good wife and mother.
As Zhuang Xun was praying, his mind became a little groggy, and a young man with a high rank appeared in front of him.
