Chapter 88
Lu Yu is the coldest man Chen Jiao has ever met so far, and she is so cold that no woman can catch her eyes.
Chen Jiao also thought that Lu Yu must be cold on the wedding night, and he didn't know how to be merciful.
But this man who looks the coldest is the most patient.
He seemed to have become a jade admirer, still silent, but he placed the newly obtained jade under the candlelight and carefully appreciated it inch by inch, just by others using his eyes and using his lips. But Chen Jiao felt that Lu Yu was more like a stereotyped scholar tonight, and every move he had seemed to follow step by step. He obviously wanted to skip a few steps, but he restrained himself from completing all the steps.
Finally, he held on again.
Before Chen Jiao closed her eyes in a panic, she saw his handsome face slightly red and his eyes as dark as water.
"There may be discomfort." Lu Yu said in her ear.
Chen Jiao nodded awkwardly.
"If it's unbearable, tell me." Lu Yu looked at her long eyelashes and said finally.
Chen Jiao just pretended that she didn't hear this.
It is certain that the new bride is uncomfortable, but it is not as unbearable as it is. In the middle of the night, Chen Jiao even became intoxicated with him.
Lu Yu's movements were gentle, but he talked little from beginning to end. Afterwards, he just hugged her and let her sleep.
Chen Jiao was tired and fell asleep soon. As for when Lu Yu fell asleep, she didn't know.
When Lu Yu got up in the morning, Chen Jiao felt that he was very light, so Chen Jiao continued to pretend to be asleep. When Lu Yu went out, Chen Jiao slowly opened her eyes. It was dawn outside, and the sound of maids saluting the prince came from the yard. Chen Jiao looked at the top of the wedding account and recalled last night, she couldn't help laughing.
In this world, there are cold men, but there are no cold grooms.
After lying for a while, Chen Jiao sat up, and unexpectedly, her body was not very sore.
Chen Jiao secretly thanked that men know how to be polite and cherish the beauty is better than not.
After getting up and dressing up, Lu Yu came back. He changed into a crimson round necklace and stepped into the inner room. His eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like cold stars, and his face was really handsome and unparalleled.
In Lu Yu's eyes, Chen Jiao was wearing red makeup, a golden hairpin, and her black hair tied into a woman's bun, which was less cute and silly than before marriage and more charming as a newlywed bride.
What I did last night was vivid in my mind, and her breathing sounded to my bones.
Just one night, something changed between the two.
"Cousin." After the maids stepped down, Chen Jiao called out to him. The eldest cousin was distinguished from the second cousin and the fourth cousin. Now she is Lu Yu's wife and the sister-in-law of several other young men in the Hou's Mansion. Apart from Lu Yu, she has no other cousin, so she can naturally save a ranking, and her cousin is more intimate.
"Sit down." Lu Yu sat next to the desk next to the window and said.
Chen Jiao walked over and sat opposite him.
Lu Yu looked at her and whispered: "My cousin should know the tempers of all the elders in the mansion. In the past, you were a guest, and you were more tolerant when encountering injustice. But from today, you are the prince's wife of the marquis's mansion. If you have any negligence in your words and deeds, please give me some advice. My cousin should listen to the teachings humbly. If someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, you don't have to be wronged in everything, so as not to lose your majesty."
This sentence has two meanings. One is to hope that Chen Jiao will be filial to her elders and their family will live in harmony. The other is to remind Chen Jiao not to be foolish and to be wronged.
"I understand, don't worry, my cousin, I'm responsible." Chen Jiao said with a smile.
Lu Yu nodded, remained silent for a moment, and said, "My cousin, the second and fourth brothers grew up together. They are used to being unruly in front of you. From today on, you should remember your eldest sister-in-law's identity and can no longer indulge them in trouble."
Chen Jiao lowered her head slightly. Lu Huan and Lu Che were scrambling to please her before. Lu Yu had met her several times in person, especially Lu Huan. Now that the relationship has changed, Lu Yu is worried that she will continue to be unclear with her two younger brothers, right? When men and women get along, sometimes it is obvious that men are hot, but outsiders always think that the woman must have done something to provoke the other party.
It’s normal for human nature, Chen Jiao didn’t blame Lu Yu, and pinched her handkerchief and said, “I understand.”
Of course Lu Yu knew that Chen Jiao was unintentional to her two younger brothers. He said this because he was worried that her younger brothers would be ignorant, and she even tolerated them as cousins. Since Chen Jiao understood, Lu Yu stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to give tea."
Chen Jiao followed him.
Nothing to say along the way.
Wanfutang, except for the Taima, resting in the inner room, everyone else in the Lu family arrived, and the second wife also came back for the wedding banquet.
Lu Huan was the first to see his brother and sister-in-law. He looked at the two of them getting closer and closer with complicated eyes. Seeing that his brother looked cold, his cousin walked respectfully next to his brother, and there was no shyness on his face. He was calm, and several thoughts immediately arose in Lu Huan's heart. Did the eldest brother and his cousin complete their relationship last night? If they were reunited, why did the eldest brother still look like this? My cousin was not shy at all? Or, the eldest brother was just treating his cousin as a routine, not gentle at all?
Lu Huan didn't know what results he was expecting.
Chen Jiao has nothing to be ashamed of. If the room was full of elders who wanted her husband and wife to be harmonious, of course she would show off her little daughter's appearance to comfort the elders. But here, except for her aunt, only her father-in-law Xihou supported Lu Yu to marry her. In this way, Chen Jiao looked shy and would only make most people shy, so she would be more dignified.
The newcomer arrived, and the maid went to invite the grandmother out.
The Grandma, like Wei, both forced her to smile, but after all, she was the official lady, and the gifts they gave Chen Jiao to Chen Jiao were well-behaved.
Chen Jiao and Lu Yu respected a circle of tea. It was his brothers of his generation. Lu Huan lowered his head and called her sister-in-law. Lu Che was stronger than him. At least, looking at Chen Jiao's call of sister-in-law, the third girl Lu Ying's tone was faint, neither cold nor hot.
Chen Jiao handled these virtual gifts and socializing well. After the gifts, the whole family started to have breakfast.
After the meal, Lu Yu led Chen Jiao back to the couple's yard.
It was already noon at this time. After Lu Yu accompanied Chen Jiao to accept the visit of the subordinates in the yard, the couple stopped staying together.
The second wife will be back to Lingzhou in two days. She is curious about how her niece gets along with her nephew, so she comes to talk to Chen Jiao.
"Your cousin, how are you doing to you?" The mother and the mother were alone, and the second wife asked softly.
Chen Jiao nodded and said in a soft voice: "It's pretty good, but my cousin is taciturn. I don't know what to say to him."
The second wife watched her nephew grow up with her own eyes, and of course she knew Lu Yu's temper and smiled: "He is such a person. If you have something to do, go find him directly and don't worry about anything. If he doesn't want to talk, you don't have to force yourself to find something to pass the time. When he wants to get close to you, he will come to you."
According to the second wife's observation, this is how the Pingxi Hou and Wei family get along. Of course, Pingxi Hou went out for a long time and did not seem to have a deep relationship with Wei family. When Wei was young, he tried every means to please Pingxi Hou, but instead aroused Pingxi Hou's dislike. Perhaps both the father and son were both interested in being entangled.
After the mother and mother talked, Chen Jiao wanted to send her aunt out. The second wife patted her hands and said, "You don't need to send me away. I have something to say to your cousin."
Chen Jiao had to stay in the backyard.
In the front yard, Lu Yu sat in the study, holding a military book absent-mindedly. When he heard that his aunt was coming, he hurried to the hall to entertain him.
"Auntie." After entering the hall, Lu Yu said respectfully.
The second lady smiled and called him to sit down and said, "I was on the side of the Grandmaster just now, and I didn't know how to ask you more. Now we are the mother and mother. Yunya, tell me the truth, are you marrying Jiaojiao because you like it or just to protect Jiaojiao? Alas, don't blame me for being straightforward. I will leave in two days. Jiaojiao is here, and I am really worried."
Lu Yu understood his aunt's concern for his wife, paused, lowered his eyes and said, "There are both."
The second wife was quite satisfied with this answer and smiled and said, "That's fine. You have been steady since childhood. It is her blessing to marry you."
"Auntie has been too much." Lu Yu said immediately.
The second wife was very tactful and did not keep nagging. She told Lu Yu to take good care of her niece, so she said goodbye.
After seeing off the second wife, Lu Yu stood in the yard for a while, and then went to the backyard.
Chen Jiao sat by the window, in a daze.
She was thinking about what Lu Yu did to be considered to be devoted to her. Han Yue split up with her second brother, Yu Jingyao punished her sister, and Huo Ying would rather give up the glory of Jiangzhou and take her to the north to start a new life. Lu Yu is the prince, and he cannot split up, and Chen Jiao would not be so irresistible with the people of the Lu family. After thinking about it, there was only one disaster between her and Lu Yu: Lu Yu's life and death.
In her true fourth generation, Lu Yu will die on the battlefield next autumn, but even if she finds a way to save Lu Yu's life, it will not prove Lu Yu's heart for her.
Didn't come up with any clues, Lu Yu came.
Chen Jiao immediately put away her worries and went outside to greet her with a smile.
She smiled brightly, and Lu Yu's cold expression eased. After entering the Dongji room, he raised the only topic: "What did your aunt just say to you?"
When Chen Jiao heard this, she lowered her head ashamed and whispered: "Auntie asked you what you are doing to me, I said it's pretty good."
Lu Yu was slightly embarrassed. He had just gotten married for a day. Was he good to her?
Thinking of the elder's advice, Lu Yu took a sip of tea and said seriously: "I am not good at talking. If you have any trouble in the future, just tell me, don't worry about anything."
Chen Jiao said "um" and her head lowered, her cheeks were white and red like peach blossoms, and she looked obedient and shy.
Lu Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Chen Jiao secretly raised her eyes to see what he was doing. Lu Yu immediately looked away and then saw the chessboard lying in the distance.
"If my cousin is fine, will you and I have another game?" Lu Yu suggested, his voice slightly hoarse.
Chen Jiao smiled: "Okay."
The two sat face to face on the couch and played chess again.
Lu Yu tried not to look at the newlywed wife's face, but when Chen Jiao got out of the way, his little hands inevitably swayed in front of him. His white wrists and slender and beautiful fingers were as Lu Yu looked at him, and he thought that last night, these little hands had grabbed his hair randomly, climbed on his shoulders, and wrapped around his waist.
"cousin?"
It was time for him to make a move, but he didn't move. Chen Jiao called out in confusion.
Lu Yu didn't hear it.
Seeing that he was staring at the chessboard, Chen Jiao looked down with his gaze, but when she was halfway through, Chen Jiao was suddenly stunned.
The short red sandalwood table between the two is specially used for chess. It is not big. Chen Jiao can touch Lu Yu on the opposite side by stretching one arm. Because she is close, Chen Jiao can see the situation under the edge of Lu Yu's table. At this moment, Chen Jiao was shocked by the hem of Lu Yu's clothes that Lu Yu was put on his legs. Normally, Lu Yu's clothes should be obediently close to his legs, but now...
What was he thinking about when he had agreed to play chess?
Chen Jiao's face was so hot that she could only pretend not to notice it, lowered her head, and waited for him to wake up by himself.
Before Lu Yu woke up, Ajin came to pass a message outside, saying that the marquis invited the prince to the main courtyard.
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't seem to hear it, Chen Jiao coughed and said loudly: "Cousin, father, please come over."
Lu Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and it happened that the red apricot was also spreading outside the curtain, so Lu Yu immediately got off the ground.
Standing straight, Lu Yu finally realized something was wrong. He lowered his head in disbelief, his face changed drastically, and he immediately looked at Chen Jiao again.
Chen Jiao hurriedly turned her head inside, revealing her blushing cheeks and neck.
