Wow!

Dong Cheng continued to scroll down.

Every time he turned it over, Dong Shuzhen held his hand tighter.

When he was about to turn a third of the way, Dong Shuzhen not only tightened her grip on him, but her whole body was trembling slightly.

Moreover, she looked at Zhu Xiuyuan pitifully and winked frequently, asking him to help.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew that if Dong Cheng continued to read, he might see a problem.

Because the manuscript paper at the back was either written by Qiu Wen or Xia Wu...

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law also read it carefully just now. Madam, she wrote very well and very seriously. The small mistake that my father-in-law discovered just now, in my opinion, is actually harmless..."

Zhu Xiuyuan held up his hands and started speaking from the side.

When Dong Cheng heard this, he stopped reviewing and looked at him sideways.

"Besides, today is the New Year's Day court meeting and the New Year's Day banquet. My father-in-law has been busy all day, so he must be tired. Since my wife has written so well, there is no need to read the rest. My father-in-law's health is very important."

"Yes, Dad, what Xiu Yuan said makes sense. You should take a hot bath first, take a rest, and then wait for dinner." Dong Shuyu also advised.

Dong Shuzhen's eyes turned between her husband and her sister, and finally focused on Dong Cheng.

She didn't speak, she just pursed her lips and held in her breath.

"Hey, that's good!"

Dong Cheng put down the rice paper completely.

In fact, he didn't feel tired at first, but after hearing what Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu said, he suddenly felt tired again.

"Zhen'er did a good job in copying, but copying a book is copying a book, and you need to understand the deep meaning of the book!" Dong Cheng looked sideways at his little daughter again, his face looked a little tired, but he was still preaching.

"Well, dad, don't worry, my daughter knows." Dong Shuzhen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Dong Cheng glanced at her, sighed lightly, then looked at his eldest daughter Dong Shuyu, and said: "Yu'er, I'd like to trouble you to explain the profound meaning in this book to her. If you know it, you also need to explain it to her."

Know why!"

"Yes, daddy, my daughter understands!" Dong Shuyu agreed.

Dong Cheng nodded with satisfaction, then went to take a bath and rest without mentioning it.

As things happened here, Dong Shuyu also left. She had to make arrangements for today's dinner.

Today is New Year's Day. There are special dietary requirements and some specific foods need to be eaten. Dong Shuyu has to arrange it himself.

After Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu left, when only Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, and the two maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu were left in the study, Dong Shuzhen finally "alive"...

The scalding hot water flooding the body is indeed a kind of enjoyment in this cold winter.

Zhu Xiuyuan lay on his back in a huge bathtub, with his hands on the edge of the bathtub and his head leaning on it. He looked up at the steaming white mist that filled the room and felt ecstatic.

How comfortable!

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a voice came: "My dear, the hot water has been delivered, do you need to add more?"

This is the voice of Yan Dashan.

That's right, when Zhu Xiuyuan takes a bath every day, Yan Dashan is responsible for adding water because it is more convenient.

Although Qiu Wen is his personal maid, she has not yet been brought into his room.

So things like adding water for bathing are still inconvenient.

Ever since, this job fell on Yan Dashan.

"Well...then add it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan soaked in the hot water, feeling so comfortable that he didn't even bother to move.

He was really exhausted today, especially during the New Year's Day meeting, where he stood for several hours without daring to move...

This alone exhausted Zhu Xiuyuan.

Squeak!

The door opened, and Yan Dashan lifted a bucket of hot water, as if holding a feather, and poured the hot water into the bathtub effortlessly.

After Yan Dashan poured the water, he went straight out and closed the door behind him.

After Zhu Xiuyuan soaked comfortably for a while, the bath water gradually cooled down again.

So Yan Dashan added water again.

When Zhu Xiuyuan finished taking a bath, Yan Dashan actually added it back and forth seven or eight times.

He has a big body and a round waist, so adding hot water is as easy as bending down to pick up an item.

But in Zhu Xiuyuan's view, this matter is still too complicated.

It consumes too much manpower and material resources.

Not to mention that Yan Dashan had been waiting outside, and there were servants specializing in boiling hot water, etc. He was also very busy...

"It's so troublesome to take a bath. It seems that the artificial hot spring is going to be installed in the mansion..."

Zhu Xiuyuan muttered while dressing, thinking about the installation plan of the artificial hot spring.

When he came out after taking a bath, it was still early and it was not yet time for dinner, so Zhu Xiuyuan went back to his room and lay down on the couch to rest for a while.

However, just as he lay down, Dong Shuzhen broke into his room with Qiuwen and Xia Wu.

"Madam, if you are not continuing to copy books in the study, why are you here when you have time?"

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, husband, I think we can finish copying it in two hours..."

Dong Shuzhen said, sitting on the edge of his bed and leaning over to look at him.

Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen fell down and lay half of her body on top of him.

Jiao Ni said: "I haven't seen my husband all day today. When I was copying books, I missed my husband..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was hit, and he grinned, and a smile appeared on his face.

And he put his arm around her waist.

Beside the bed, the two maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu covered their mouths and snickered, silently retreating outside the bed tent to wait on her.

"How much do you think?" Zhu Xiuyuan caressed her back gently, feeling that she was slender and firm, and she had a very good figure for someone who practiced martial arts all year round.

"I really want to, really want to!" Dong Shuzhen twisted around and laughed non-stop. Zhu Xiuyuan stroked her back. She seemed to be ticklish and dodged there.

"What do you think?" The corners of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth became wider and wider.

"Oh, husband, don't ask. Anyway, I really want to. If possible, I would like to attend the New Year's Day party with my husband..." Dong Shuzhen continued to dodge and laugh.

Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen broke away from Zhu Xiuyuan's hand and propped up her upper body with both hands. Her chubby little face was red and her smile was almost gone. It could be seen that she was very happy from the inside out.

Zhu Xiuyuan was lying on his back, and his eyes accidentally moved down, and he caught a glimpse of her heart being slightly full, which was a little different from before.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dong Shuzhen was seventeen years old after all...

Soon, the time came to You hour and it became dark.

Dong Shuyu also sent someone to send a message, telling Zhu Xiuyuan and the others to prepare for dinner.

As a result, Dong Shuzhen, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, the three masters and servants, waited on Zhu Xiuyuan to change clothes, and were busy back and forth.

Zhu Xiuyuan was too lazy to do anything and just let them do whatever they wanted.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan transformed into a troubled young man...

The flower hall of the main house.

The New Year's Day dinner of the uncle's house will be held here.

In fact, this New Year’s Day meal should be eaten at noon.

However, both Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng had to go to the palace to attend the New Year's Day party and the New Year's Day banquet, and there were only a few female dependents at home.

So I postponed this meal to evening.

"This is Tusu wine, this is peach soup, this is Wu Xin plate, this is Jiao Ya Xuan, this is Tang Zhong Lao Wan, and there are rice cakes..."

Dong Shuyu introduced today's special dishes to everyone.

Tusu wine, also called Jiaobai wine, is a must-drink during the New Year’s Day.

Peach soup is a secret soup made from peach wood using special cooking techniques. Drinking this soup has the implication of exorcising evil spirits.

The five-spice dish, also known as the spring dish, includes garlic, garlic, leeks, brassicas, mustard, and seasonal vegetables.

Guayuan, which is actually maltose, is a dessert.

Tangzhongluowan, similar to dumplings...

…

After Hehe's beautiful meal, everyone did not disperse. Instead, they cleared the table, placed tea, pastries, dried fruits, etc., and sat together to chat.
