There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 948|The eighty-sixth dragon scale (3)
The eighty-sixth dragon scale (3)
Chen Qiuwu finally came back from the previous guest after a lot of hard work. As soon as he entered the new house, he saw his newlywed wife eating and drinking non-stop. He couldn't help laughing, and for some reason, seeing her eating so deliciously, he was also aroused by his appetite.
The servants of the Chen family didn't dare to speak. In fact, they were so frightened by the young lady's unrestrained appearance that they didn't know what to say. Eldest young master, I don't know how to scold me as a wife.
The big guy carefully raised his eyes and found that Chen Qiuwu's face was soft, not showing any disgust, but showing a gentle color, and he knew that his eldest young master must be very satisfied with the young mistress, thinking about it too, young Mu Ai, this way A beautiful woman, what if she doesn't have her feet bound? As long as the young master likes it, no one else can say anything more.
"You're here." Linglong bit the cake, "I don't need you outside?"
"No need." Chen Qiuwu sat down opposite her, and seeing that she was eating deliciously, he picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. The taste was actually the same, but maybe it was because he saw that she was having a good time, even with Chen Qiuwu. I think this pastry seems more delicious than usual. "Are you tired?"
"I'm exhausted." Linglong said unceremoniously, "You don't know how heavy the phoenix crown is, I feel like my head will fall off."
And that complicated wedding dress made walking very tired. Mrs. Chen insisted on a Chinese wedding, and there was a lot of red tape. Mrs. Yan felt that Mrs. Chen was right, and both parents thought so, Chen Qiuwu What can I say to Linglong? You can't push people down and tell them you can't, right?
"If you want, we can have another Western-style wedding in the future." Chen Qiuwu said with a smile, "When the time comes, I won't wear red, but a white wedding dress. Do you know the wedding dress? It's very beautiful, I think you will definitely wear it. Very beautiful."
"Really?" Linglong tilted her head, "Is it expensive?"
Chen Qiuwu said: "It's very expensive."
"Then you have to make good money." She said earnestly, "The more money you make, the more you can afford a good wedding."
Chen Qiuwu laughed: "Okay, I will work hard to make money."
The newlyweds were very engaged in chatting, and the servants saw this and slowly backed out. The two ate all the food on the table before they were asked to prepare water to take a bath. Linglong washed first, because she was still on the table today. Makeup, there are quite a lot of peanuts, red dates, and lotus seeds under the mattress. Taking advantage of Linglong's time to take a bath, Chen Qiuwu cleaned it up, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to sleep on it. Just now, my mother brought a half-cooked dumpling to Linglong to eat. Chen Qiuwu's face almost turned green, and eating half-baked dumplings was unhygienic and not delicious. It was too frustrating.
After all, Mrs. Chen wasn't there, and the eldest young master was the oldest, so the mother didn't dare to say more, and Linglong escaped without a hitch.
She is very picky, even if Chen Qiuwu doesn't stop her, she won't eat more of those half-baked dumplings.
It is a euphemism to say that it is half-baked. Except for the cooked dumpling skin, the meat filling inside is all cold, and the devil eats it.
Linglong came out of the shower, her steamy face turning pink and white as jade. Although she was still young, she already showed an amazing beauty. Chen Qiuwu looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Didn't you say you were tired just now? Go to sleep if you are tired."
Linglong climbed onto the bed and kicked off her two small shoes. Chen Qiuwu noticed that she had indeed given birth to a pair of natural feet, pink and white. Although she didn't wrap her little feet, it was not as big as his palm. She looked delicate and cute.
He got up and went to the clean room to freshen up. Men generally take a shower quickly. When he came back to bed after taking a bath, Chen Qiuwu blew out the light and lay on the bed without any other movement.
Afraid that his little wife would think he despised her, he explained to her: "You are too young. When I was studying abroad, I heard from the teacher that it is best for girls of your age not to marry and have children, because they are not good for their health. Too much damage."
Linglong let out a sigh, got up and lay on top of him, with both hands resting on his chin and curiously asked: "Why? Many people are married and have children at this age. My mother said that after fifteen She's an old girl, she won't be able to get married by then, she'll be laughed at to death."
Chen Qiuwu was blushed by her intimacy, and it took a long while to calm down: "You should go out and see the outside world, and you will understand whether what I said is true or false, right or wrong, it should not be instilled in you by me It should be your own judgment.”
"What about this?"
Chen Qiuwu was about to ask what to do when she saw her pulling out a snow-white handkerchief, which immediately made Chen Qiuwu's ears burn. He naturally knew what it was. Although he wanted to be clean, it didn't mean he couldn't understand the matter of men and women. His mother told him that this veil was used to record the bride's chastity. It's not that they all bleed, it's just that most women get married too early, their bodies are not fully developed, and the men are inevitably rude and understand, hurting them, that's what happens."
He stroked his long black hair: "Don't be afraid, I will handle it."
Since he said it would be handed over to him, Linglong felt relieved, yawned, rolled up half of the quilt and rolled into the bed: "Then I'm going to sleep."
The two of them slept all night until dawn, and the people outside waited all night but couldn't see the young master and the young grandmother calling for water. The people who were knowledgeable couldn't help but look at each other, wondering why there was no movement at all? Don't the eldest master know how to do that?
How do they know that not only did the eldest young master and young grandma fail to do that, but the eldest young master even told the young grandma about fairy tales that he read abroad, and Linglong fell asleep when he listened to it. , the whole person rolled into Chen Qiuwu's arms, and the next morning, the two woke up hugging each other.
Chen Qiuwu never thought that he would be so in tune with the wife chosen by his mother. Even if she didn't understand many things, he didn't feel annoyed. He just wanted to take her out to see the wider world, and in the morning, he was summoned outside. He said that he was going to serve tea to his wife, but he couldn't miss the time.
Mrs. Chen is still very stubborn and well behaved in these matters.
After the young couple got up and cleaned up and set off, the mother who came to clean up was speechless to the clean handkerchief, and the bed was in a mess. It can be seen that the two of them did not do anything last night, then this handkerchief What's the matter, son? There is no trace at all?
She didn't dare to make her own decisions, and hurriedly ordered someone to inform her wife
The Chen family has a great business. It takes a long time to walk from Chen Qiuwu's yard to Mrs. Chen's yard. Chen Qiuwu lost his father when he was young, and he is the only child in the family, so you can imagine how precious Mrs. Chen is and how nervous he is. Five years Before Chen Qiuwu proposed to go to Shanghai to study, Mrs. Chen was reluctant to take care of her. She couldn't help but miss her son without her. He was far away in Shanghai, and she couldn't take care of him even if she wanted to. How could she be willing?
However, Chen Qiuwu couldn't be beaten, so he finally let him go. As a result, Chen Qiuwu's heart became more and more serious, and he still wanted to study abroad. It was useless for Mrs. Chen to be unhappy.
Now I finally got him back to marry him. Mrs. Chen was looking forward to Chen Qiuwu's stay, but she heard that the Yuanpa was clean last night, and her face changed immediately. She got the news first. Therefore, when her son and daughter-in-law arrived, Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and showed no smile.
Chen Qiuwu wondered: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Chen first glanced at Linglong, her little daughter-in-law was born more beautiful than Hua Jiao, how could she look youthful and beautiful, could her son be the reincarnation of Liu Xiahui? Such a little wife, can she endure not to touch? She didn't think that she was exquisite and dishonest. After all, the strict family education was strict. The girl was raised in a deep boudoir and couldn't have contact with outsiders, and the mother who went to clean also said that the quilt on the bed was just a little messy, and the rest was fine. The water doesn't have any smell either, so it can be seen that the problem lies with her son!
You said that since you promised to get married, why didn't you want to touch your wife?
Mrs. Chen endured her anger. After all, on the first day of the wedding, it's not good to look ugly to her younger daughter-in-law. She took a sip of tea from Linglong, then put the jade bracelet she had prepared on her little daughter-in-law's snow-white wrist, her fingers touched the girl's skin, soft and cool, like fine silk, her son How is it possible to be indifferent? !
Next, Mrs. Chen even forgot to ask her son and daughter-in-law to kowtow. She asked Linglong to go out first, with an extremely patient smile on her face, saying that she had something to say to Chen Qiuwu.
As soon as Linglong went out, Mrs. Chen clapped the table: "You tell me clearly! Did you and your daughter-in-law consummate the marriage last night?!"
Chen Qiuwu answered honestly: "No."
Mrs. Chen can't wait to pick up a feather duster and whip him: "Why? You're still not satisfied with this marriage? But haven't you already agreed? Now that you're married, you'll fulfill your duties as a husband! With you Yes!"
Chen Qiuwu smiled bitterly: "Mother, listen to me first."
"I don't listen!" Mrs. Chen was so angry that she didn't want to. "You, now, immediately, immediately! Go and convince me!"
Chen Qiuwu:...
He put his arms around his mother's shoulders and sat side by side with her: "Don't be angry, just listen to me."
Mrs. Chen held back her anger, and was ready to hear what Chen Qiuwu could say. When she heard Chen Qiuwu say that the reason for her unhappy marriage was because the bride was too young, she was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Fifteen-year-old is already in her hair, and you are still young? There are many people who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen! I gave birth to you when I was fifteen!"
Chen Qiuwu looked at her tenderly: "But I heard from the wet nurse that when my mother gave birth to me, I was bleeding heavily, and I almost couldn't survive it. Later, I lay in bed for more than half a year before I got better. I am my mother's son, and I feel distressed. Mother, but there's not much I can do for you, I don't want other women to suffer like this, it's as if I helped my mother too."
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment.
"I am very interested in medicine abroad, and I went to audition for a semester." Chen Qiuwu said softly to his mother, "The girl is under 20 years old, and her physical development is not mature. She is still too young. I want to wait."
On the one hand, Mrs. Chen was moved by her son's tenderness, but at the same time she couldn't help worrying: "But you are already twenty-two this year... You have waited for your daughter-in-law for five years, and you are twenty-seven! I'll give you another auntie-"
"Mother." Chen Qiuwu said in a deep voice, "Don't mention it again, I advocate monogamy."
Mrs. Chen felt that her son didn't listen to her, and was angry: "Then you can figure it out yourself! Don't come to me again, do whatever you want!"
Chen Qiuwu saw that her mother was angry and quickly coaxed her. Mrs. Chen had mixed feelings and knew that her son had also given in a lot. Otherwise, because of his antipathy towards arranged marriages, it was impossible for him to obey her and marry in the countryside.
After a long while, she sighed: "You can do it if you know it in your heart. My mother is getting older, and I only hope that I can hold a grandson in my lifetime."
Chen Qiuwu finished talking with his mother, and when he went out, he saw Linglong squatting on the ground and poking at the ants, like a child. He walked over with a smile and patted her on the back lightly. She raised her head and looked at him. "You're out."
"It came out."
He stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground and walked back while holding her little hand while telling her about his next plan.
Because he still has a semester of books to read, he will not be at home for a long time. He knows that it may be uncomfortable for her to leave her home in a hurry, but he still hopes that she can go with him and finish reading For this semester's book, he decided to go back to Shanghai City, because Shanghai City University sent him an invitation, hoping that he could teach at Shanghai City University after his studies and return to China, so as to point out the direction for more aspiring young people.
He held Linglong's hand: "Maybe I won't be able to spend a lot of time with you in the future, but I can swear to you that I will always be loyal to you, Linglong, I hope we can grow together and walk through the next few years together. In ten years of life, no matter the wind or the rain, we will walk side by side."
Linglong smiled: "Okay."
The promise was too straightforward, but Chen Qiuwu couldn't believe it.
"I'm also very curious about the outside world." She was holding hands and jumping up and down, even wearing a simple dress, she still did not hide her naivety and freshness, "As long as you take me, where do you go? You can."
Chen Qiuwu couldn't help smiling brightly, took her into his arms, and branded her a kiss on her tender forehead!
Since she decided to go abroad together, she must prepare a lot of things. Linglong is very obedient and didn't bring too much, because to be honest, she is tired of wearing these old-fashioned dresses. The Chen family has a big business and the Yan family is also very rich. , if it doesn't help, she still has countless treasures, why bring all these burdens?
From Mrs. Chen's point of view, that is that this little daughter-in-law is very sensible and well-behaved. She took Linglong's hand and instructed a lot, such as taking good care of Qiuwu, getting pregnant as soon as possible, and not letting Qiuwu I have nothing to worry about... Linglong nodded her head all the way, and she agreed very easily. Anyway, she would not lose a piece of meat if she promised verbally.
Before leaving, Mrs. Yan wiped her tears and quietly stuffed a small bag for Linglong. The small bag was the private money that Mrs. Yan had saved over the years.
This time, I don't know when I can see you again. It's the flesh that fell from my body, how can it not hurt?
So Mrs. Yan also instructed, and she also instructed the same as Mrs. Chen.
It is nothing more than to do Linglong's duties as a wife, take good care of her husband, and get pregnant with a child as soon as possible to secure her status, and she can't be extravagant outside. Mrs. Yan is particularly worried that her daughter looks gentle and graceful, and may be in front of others She pretended, but she knew the virtues at home best, and she was really afraid that her son-in-law would not be able to accept this stimulation.
But it was useless for her to worry. On the day when Chen Qiuwu and his wife left, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Chen sat together and wiped away their tears for a long time.
"Why is it so lively outside?" Linglong lifted the curtain of the car curiously and looked out. Now they are going to Shanghai City by horse and carriage, and then take a boat from Shanghai City. It takes about a month to get to Kai. urster.
Kelster is not a country, but the capital of the country where Chen Qiuwu studied. I heard that the streets there are full of romantic plane trees, which are very beautiful.
"It seems that someone is holding a wedding." Chen Qiuwu put his chin on top of her head and looked out.
Because they were far apart and the bride was wearing a hijab, she couldn't see what the other party looked like anyway. The driver who drove the carriage saw that the young master and the young grandmother were very interested in this happy event, so he drove close to the carriage and asked After saying a few words to the passersby who were watching, he replied, "Young master, young mistress, she is a girl from the Gao family and married to the Hu family."
They are all well-known and wealthy families in the town, and they are well-matched.
Linglong reached out and patted Chen Qiuwu's handsome face: "Oh, that's also your former wife candidate, and you two almost became."
Chen Qiuwu quickly expressed his loyalty: "But you are the only one in my heart."
"I know, but I didn't say anything about you." Although they have only been married for more than half a month, the two really get along well and are already very close.
It's a trivial matter for them.
Chen Qiuwu once studied in Shanghai City, and the Chen family is not short of money. Mrs. Chen was afraid that her son would be wronged, so she bought a house for him in Shanghai City and sent servants. After Chen Qiuwu went to study abroad, only servants lived in Xiaoyanglou. He was going to take his little wife in Shanghai to buy some new clothes and utensils for her. After all, there is no place that sells Chinese-style dresses abroad.
The husband who hasn't returned for three years has returned, and the servants of the entire Chen Mansion are busy. They all have children from home, and Mrs. Chen is well-mannered. , also surnamed Chen, loyal, Chen Qiuwu is her grandmother, she was overjoyed when she met Chen Qiuwu and Linglong again, she heard that the young master was going to study with the young grandma, she nodded: "That's right, husband and wife How can the two be separated? With the young grandmother by my side, the young master has someone to take care of!"
Linglong is too lazy to talk. Anyway, these people think she has to take care of Chen Qiuwu, so let them think so.
And it won't drop a piece of meat.
As soon as she left Chen's house, Linglong quickly revealed her true identity. Of course, she had already shown almost the same level in front of Chen Qiuwu. She was squeamish and self-willed, but she just made it impossible for people to be angry with her. For example, Chen Qiuwu felt that she was his little wife. Even losing his temper is very cute and lively. He is a person with a good personality, and now he is more tolerant. Linglong has never seen him get angry.
The time for the ferry ticket is two days later. In the morning of the second day, Linglong woke up in the bedroom. Chen Qiuwu was wearing silver-chain glasses and a nightgown. He was sitting on the bedside reading a book. The index finger moved.
A small hand sneaked into his nightgown from the quilt, and attacked all the way up. Although Chen Qiuwu is a scholar, he usually pays attention to exercise. He has a thin layer of muscles on his body. I heard that he is still abroad with a Dongying people who are good at karate learn, and the force value is not bad.
Chen Qiuwu was touched by the little hand, so he quickly put down the book, grabbed the restless little paw through the nightgown, and looked down at his little wife with a smile: "Awake?"
Linglong muttered, arching and arching in the quilt, and arched it onto Chen Qiuwu. He hugged her with a smile, let her small head rest on his shoulder, and read a book together.
Linglong lost her interest after taking a look, and she yawned. "Didn't you say you want to take me out to buy new clothes today?"
"Yes." Chen Qiuwu nodded, "But the little lazy pig never gets up, what can I do?"
The two made a fuss on the bed. Finally, Chen Qiuwu pressed his little wife under him, and the two cheeks were very close to each other. He could even see the tender and thin hairs on her little face, as if blowing A peach that can be broken, is fluffy and endearing, and immediately reacted. Although she was only fifteen years old, she was developing very well. Chen Qiuwu was afraid of doing something wrong, so he got up quickly and coughed lightly: " Get up and freshen up and take you to eat the most famous crab yellow dumplings in Shanghai.”
Linglong was happy when she heard the food. She only brought two clothes, and she also wore old-fashioned dresses when she went out today, but this did not detract from her amazing beauty.
Chen Qiuwu took her to the most famous morning tea house in Shanghai, where she ordered three long buns with crab roe, as well as soy milk fritters and pickled melon, all of which are loved by locals in Shanghai. The price of this crab roe xiao long bao It's not cheap, ordinary people can't afford it, that is, the Chen family is rich.
Linglong tasted the xiaolongbao, her eyes lit up, she dipped it in the vinegar plate and ate it, but Chen Qiuwu was stunned that she didn't eat it.
After breakfast, he took her hand and walked slowly down the street. Now Shanghai is still in the hands of the imperial court, unlike other places where it is divided by warlords, but there are already quite a few foreigners, and I don't know how to wait. When he comes back from reading, what will Shanghai City look like? In this war-torn era, being able to live well is a luxury for many people.
The people around were in a hurry. The rickshaw driver squatted on the ground with a sad face and waited for work. Chen Qiuwu, who was wearing a long gown, held his wife's hand tighter.
They chose an old tailor shop, which is full of popular clothing styles. Chen Qiuwu has a lot of money, but he buys everything his wife likes, so that he can't go home with a big bag and a small bag, so he has to call Got a rickshaw.
The rickshaw driver finally waited for a job, his face was full of joy. He was wearing a patched sackcloth vest, and his arms exposed were strong muscles. He looked like a person who worked hard all year round.
Chen Qiuwu couldn't bear to take such a car, but he only gave money and didn't take the car, but the rickshaw driver was uneasy.
The flames rising in his heart are so fiery, it seems that something is about to move, and with a single opportunity, it can grow into a towering tree.
