Chapter 205 Wedding Night
After more than a quarter of an hour, Zhou Wen came back and said, "It's really lively up there! But no one dares to mess with my eldest brother. After all, he's the most senior official here, hehe!"
Qin Ying knew that it was a busy day, and Zhou Qi was alone with An An over there. Even though she knew An An's abilities, her mother's heart was always hanging in the air, so she urged Zhou Mian and Zhou Wen to go back, "I'm fine."
The two sisters looked at each other and insisted: "It's not too late to leave after the eldest brother comes back."
Zhou Wen said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. My mother has sent two maidservants to guard my eldest sister."
In a family like theirs, a daughter raised in the boudoir never had the chance to be alone. Especially after the eldest and second sisters got into trouble, their mother attached even greater importance to the issue of accompanying them.
The reason why we didn't send anyone to Tongshutun before was because our eldest brother had made perfect arrangements here.
As he was speaking, he heard footsteps outside, some of them unsteady and staggering.
Zhou Wen was alert and whispered, "Who?"
"It's me," came Zhou Yu's drunken voice.
Zhou Wen smiled and tugged at Zhou Mian's sleeve, whispering, "It's time for us to go!"
Zhou Yu came in, his face flushed and his body swaying.
The two sisters lent a hand and helped him into the inner room, settled him down at the table, and turned to Qin Ying and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law, to take care of a drunkard!" They walked out hand in hand and kindly helped to close the door.
Qin Ying hurriedly stood up to help mix a bowl of honey water and handed it to Zhou Yu. Seeing that he had his eyes slightly closed and looked listless, she held the bowl to his mouth and said softly, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes. There was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes, only a smile filled with joy. Under the flickering candlelight, they seemed to be filled with tiny starlight, shining brightly.
Qin Ying was stunned and forgot to react for a moment. The bowl in her hand tilted slightly and the honey inside almost flowed out.
Zhou Yu raised his hand and held her wrist, lowered his head to drink water, then took the bowl away and placed it on the table without letting go of Qin Ying's hand.
Qin Ying realized it later and her face turned red. Her heartbeat quickened a little bit and even her breathing became rapid.
Zhou Yu sighed softly, pulled her into his arms, and whispered softly: "Aying, I finally married you."
Qin Ying's body stiffened, and she slowly raised her hands and hugged him back.
For a moment, her throat choked, and she asked, "Were you the one who had people stop the envoy from the capital?"
"Yes," Zhou Yu nodded and admitted frankly, "Today is a good day for you and me. No one can disturb us, not even the Crown Prince."
Qin Ying felt a lump in her throat and almost cried. The interrupted wedding a few years ago was actually a thorn in her heart.
She was just a drifter at first, and she really intended to be a member of the Guo family. Guo Wen also had time to complete the wedding process. The villagers helped to put in some good words, and the conscripted warriors gave her a quarter of an hour.
But Guo Wen used this time to say goodbye to his family and complain to her.
"My lady," Zhou Yu tightened his arms, looking slightly unhappy, "Are you distracted?"
"No." Qin Ying took a deep breath, and all the past became a cloud of smoke. It was enough for her to know that she was now firmly chosen.
The two hugged each other for a long time before separating. Zhou Yu's eyes were a little fiery. He lowered his head and kissed Qin Ying on the forehead, "My wife, it's time for us to go to bed."
He hugged the person and walked towards the wedding bed.
Although it was Qin Ying's first time, she had heard from her mother that someone would make trouble in the bridal chamber, so she whispered it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one dares to cause trouble."
He went over first, pulled up the kang sheet, and carried the dates, peanuts, longans, chestnuts and other things on it to the Luohan bed in the opposite room.
Qin Ying didn't know where the other kang sheets were, so she seemed a little helpless.
Zhou Yu helped her sit on the chair and said with a smile, "Don't panic, you'll get used to it slowly. Besides, I'm used to doing these trivial things, so I'll do it."
He skillfully opened the kang cabinet, took out a new set of kang sheets and spread them out. He refused Qin Ying's offer to help.
In Beijing, everyone sleeps on a bed, but after living in the mountains for a long time, I got used to sleeping on the kang. However, because I got married, a frame was built on the kang and a big red curtain was hung. Everything was red, and the new kang sheet was also red.
He placed the two pillows neatly side by side, but only laid out a set of bedding, then turned his head and looked at Qin Ying.
Qin Ying seemed to be ignited in an instant, and her whole body began to heat up.
Zhou Yu tidied up the kang, then went to get two pairs of soft shoes. He squatted in front of Qin Ying and wanted to help her change her shoes.
Qin Ying retracted her foot, but Zhou Yu grabbed her ankle.
After changing his shoes, Zhou Yu picked up the person and carried him horizontally on the kang. He turned around, lowered the tent, and got in himself.
On the wedding night, the dragon and phoenix candles must be kept burning, so there is a hazy halo inside the tent.
Soon, faint sounds were heard from behind the curtain, filling the room with charm.
The lights of the red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns popped again and again, and the noise inside the tent did not gradually subside until the second half of the night.
Zhou Yu put on his clothes with a satisfied look on his face and went downstairs to wash himself. Then, carrying the wooden basin and a clean towel, he went back into the tent and coaxed in a low voice, "Don't move, just leave it to me."
Qin Ying said something in a hoarse voice, which was soon drowned out by the sound of splashing water.
After a moment, Zhou Yu leaned over, put the basin on the ground, and then retracted it.
When the rooster crowed, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and looked at his newlywed wife sleeping in his arms through the hazy light. His heart was filled with sweetness and he couldn't help but move over and kiss her between the eyebrows.
Qin Ying moved her body and slowly opened her eyes. When she met his smiling eyes, her face began to feel hot.
Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Go to sleep a little longer. I'll go get some water for washing up."
"No need..." Qin Ying felt it secretly. It was a little painful at the beginning last night, but after the pain came the ultimate pleasure. Zhou Yu was considerate and did not let her experience any discomfort.
Well, I can’t recall such things!
The two of them got up one after another. Zhou Yu went to prepare hot water, and Qin Ying tidied up the kang, hung up the curtain, and put the soiled mattress away separately to be washed later.
After washing up, Zhou Yu helped Qin Ying clean her head.
Qin Ying was surprised: "You even know this?"
"I need to comb my hair too," Zhou Yu pointed to his head. "I don't know how to put it in a bun, but I know how to comb my hair all over."
Qin Ying quickly combed her hair. According to her personality, she didn't like to wear any accessories on her head. People who work all day would easily lose their hair.
Zhou Yu picked out a few items from the makeup box for her to wear, and pinned a red tongcao flower on her temples.
Then the couple went hand in hand to the front to recognize their relatives.
Mrs. Zhou Er and the others had arrived long ago. Everyone in the room was refreshed and cheerful. Upon seeing them arrive, Mrs. Zhou Er first took a look at their complexions, then smiled and said, "I was thinking of letting you sleep a little longer. Why are you up so early?"
