"You just fell asleep like this?" Gu Shichu couldn't help but push Ming Xun gently.
Mingxun raised his spirits and glanced at her: "Huh? What are you doing if you don't sleep?" He still looked confused.
When Gu Zhi first saw him barely able to open his eyelids, he sighed and said, "Forget it, you can continue to sleep."
When Ming Xun heard what she said, his eyelids immediately closed, and soon he was breathing slowly and fell into sleep.
Gu Shichu also closed her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't agree with the wedding, but that Ming Xun didn't have a will, so she couldn't be blamed.
Probably because she was really tired after getting married, Gu Shichu also slept until it was slightly light. It was not until Zhiqiu came in and called her softly that she woke up.
"Get up." Gu Shi said clearly on the first day of the lunar month, "I will serve tea to the Marquis and his wife this morning. Don't be late."
Ming Xun opened his eyes vaguely and saw Gu Shichu getting up. Then he remembered that he got married yesterday and quickly got up to pack up.
After the young couple packed up, they went to the main hall to serve tea to Qiyang Hou and his wife.
Qi Yanghou was a mature and handsome middle-aged man who was less than forty years old. His eyes were sharp but gentle. He seemed to have no objection to his daughter-in-law in ancient times. He encouraged her with a few words and said to Ming Xun: " Xun'er, now that you have a family, it's time to take on the responsibilities of a husband. From now on, follow me and learn how to manage a family business."
Ming Xun was still a little sleepy because he got up early, but when he heard Qi Yanghou's words, he suddenly woke up and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, dad, I don't think it's necessary. , you are in your prime, just teach my future son when he grows up, but don’t let me learn these things, I don’t have the strength, and it’s not like you haven’t tried it before, so why force it again? "
Marquis Qiyang was so angry that he glared at him angrily and said, "Can you have some potential? Now you rely on me to support you, and you will rely on your son in the future. You have the nerve to say it!"
"Hey, there's nothing to be ashamed of relying on me and my son, isn't it natural?" Ming Xun said with a playful smile, making Marquis Qi Yang scold him as a traitor.
The father and son "fighted" with each other for a long time before stopping under Mrs. Hou's persuasion.
Since Mrs. Hou compromised with her son and let him marry Gu Shichu, she has given up trying to embarrass Gu Shichu. Therefore, the tea ceremony passed peacefully. Mrs. Hou only told Gu Shichu and Mingxun to live a good life and not to If he does something too outrageous, it is best to persuade Ming Xun to correct his evil ways and work hard to make progress...
Of course, her last wish was destined to be impossible to come true. After all, she herself was not a hard-working person in ancient times, so how could she make things difficult for Ming Xun?
Ming Xun has a younger brother named Ming Jun, who is only sixteen years old. He used to study in the Imperial College, but now he has returned because Ming Xun got married.
The young man was tall, thin and handsome, with a slight childishness on his face. His temperament was completely different from Ming Xun. He was a gentle and gentle young man. At this moment, he smiled and greeted Gu Shichu: "Sister-in-law, I specially made a mandarin duck look. The painting of playing in water, I wish you and your eldest brother will always be united and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Gu Shichu took it over and said, "Thank you, second brother. I heard your elder brother say that you are very good at painting. You already have your own style at a young age. I didn't expect that I would be able to appreciate you just after I passed the door." works."
After saying that, she opened it and started admiring it on the spot. Ming Jun did have some talent in painting. The two mandarin ducks he painted were so vivid that they almost seemed to swim out of the paper. Gu Shichu could not help but admire: "Second brother , you can’t give up painting in the future. In time, you will definitely become a first-class painter. I have to collect this painting carefully. It may become a family heirloom and be passed down to future generations."
After hearing this, Mingjun's face suddenly turned red, and he said shyly: "Sister-in-law, you are flattering me. How could my level be so high..."
"I'm serious, you really have talent in painting, don't waste it." Gu Shichu said to him seriously.
Seeing that she had so much trust in him, Ming Jun's heart suddenly felt hot, and he had infinite hope and excitement. He said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your affirmation. I will definitely not let you down."
Ming Xun said sourly from the side: "At the beginning, you praised this boy too highly. Be careful that he is too proud."
"No, brother and sister-in-law, I know I still have a lot of room for improvement." Mingjun said quickly.
In fact, Mingjun is really talented in painting, and he is obsessed with it. In his previous life, by the time he was in his twenties, his paintings were already somewhat famous. If nothing unexpected happened, he would continue to paint. If he improves his skills, he will most likely become a famous painter in a few decades, and his works will be passed down through the ages.
It's a pity that in the previous life, after the death of Marquis Qiyang and Mrs. Hou, Gu Yao, the elder sister-in-law, couldn't stand Ming Jun, who also had no official position and was just a scribe, and drove him out of the Hou Mansion mercilessly. Ming Jun disappeared from the Hou Mansion. He was a dependent and did not receive much family property. In the end, in order to support his wife and children, he had to give up further study of painting and start a family business. He remained unknown all his life and wasted his great talent.
Now that Gu Shichu has become his sister-in-law, he will no longer let him waste his talent. Even for the sake of the painting he gave him, he can't let a future great painter die midway.
After meeting his family, Gu Shichu and Ming Xun returned to their courtyard. Mrs. Hou was still in charge of the affairs in the Qiyang Hou Mansion, so the two of them were very free at the moment.
"At the beginning, can I take you to see my small garden? I specially searched for flower seeds from all over the world. Many of them are not available here. You will definitely be interested when you see them..." Ming Xun seemed anxious. The child, who was showing off his favorite toys to his friends, happily said to Gu Shichu and pulled her away before she could answer.
Gu Shichuxin said: I have seen your little garden a long time ago.
A year ago, Gu Shiyao specially took her there on the day of Mrs. Hou's birthday banquet, hoping that she and Ming Xun would meet and hook up.
It just disappointed Gu Shiyao. Mingxun didn't appear there at all that day.
Revisiting the old place feels a bit emotional at the beginning of ancient times.
Mingxun couldn't wait to introduce to her the strange flowers and plants he planted. Although he didn't recognize some of the strange flowers and plants himself and didn't know what they were, it didn't stop him from chatting about them with great interest. enthusiasm.
"At the beginning, you were looking at a grass. If I touched it lightly, its leaves would fold up, like a woman who was shy about seeing people and quickly closed her house. It's so fun. Come and try it." Ming Ming Xun pointed at a fluffy and low plant and said to Gu Shichu with a smile.
When I first saw it in ancient times, wasn’t it just a mimosa? Originally native to tropical America, it spread to all parts of the world after thousands of years.
