"Yaoyao, look at me. Who am I?" Zhao Liangcai asked Qin Junyao, who was leaning against him.
"You're so funny. You ask me who you are? You don't even know who you are, hahaha," Qin Junyao laughed heartily, hugging Zhao Liangcai's arm. Sudan Novel Network.
"I'll tell you who you are."
"You are my elder brother, General Zhao Liangcai."
"You have two younger brothers, one named Zhao Youcai and the other named Zhao Xiaofei."
"Zhao Xiaofei is a horse. It's big and black, with no white hairs and a thick tail..."
Zhao Liangcai's mouth curved up and down. He never expected Qin Junyao to perform a crosstalk for him. Did Qin Sen teach her this?
He wanted to have a serious talk with Qin Junyao about serious matters, but the drunk Qin Junyao was completely unpredictable.
Forget it. Zhao Liangcai gave up reasoning with a drunk person. He would act.
He helped Qin Junyao to sit on a chair and then turned to make the kang.
Qin Junyao, sitting on the chair, looked at the dowry chests by the door. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and stumbled towards the chests, holding onto the table.
Seeing that Qin Junyao was just rummaging through clothes in the chest and not doing anything dangerous, Zhao Liangcai let her be.
He himself took out the bedding, pillows, and white satin and arranged them.
"Yulan, sit. Sit on what? I can't see clearly."
"Big Brother, look, what does it say here Yulan sits on?"
Qin Junyao found a booklet from the chest. She opened it and read the words on the illustrations. The handwriting was small and unclear. Qin Junyao, with her drunken eyes, couldn't make it out. She took the booklet to ask Zhao Liangcai.
"My little ancestor," Zhao Liangcai said, seeing Qin Junyao casually holding an erotic picture album. He reached out and called her his ancestor to snatch the booklet from her hand.
Qin Junyao turned and hugged the booklet to herself. "Don't grab it. It's mine. I want to learn, I want to study, I want to see."
Zhao Liangcai held Qin Junyao, impatient and not caring if his words were appropriate. "Yaoyao, be good. Let's not look at others. Do you want to look at me?"
"Big Brother, let go."
"You're no good, what's there to see? Don't fight with me. Grandpa, he's snatching my things, Grandpa!" Qin Junyao, having her booklet snatched away, suddenly started crying for her grandfather.
Zhao Liangcai thought Qin Junyao was really crying. He put down the booklet and tried to comfort her, only to find that Qin Junyao was crying without tears.
Her acting wasn't even as good as Fuzi's.
Zhao Liangcai hid the booklet and handed a ledger, about the same thickness as the booklet, to Qin Junyao.
"Liar! This isn't it," Qin Junyao flipped through the ledger and threw it away.
"Zhao Liangcai, are you jealous because you're not capable? You're jealous. You're jealous of what's drawn in the picture album, woo~~"
This time, Qin Junyao's mouth was blocked by Zhao Liangcai's. After she repeatedly said he was incapable, he wanted to let this little thing feel whether he was capable or not.
...
Capable, very capable, extremely capable.
This was Qin Junyao's conclusion after lying on the kang all morning the next day.
If she had known that Sister Manshuang had given her false information, she would never have agreed to get married so early, nor would she have dared to provoke Zhao Liangcai.
What is this called? This is called reaping what you sow.
"Yaoyao, are you still uncomfortable? Get up and have some porridge," Zhao Liangcai entered the room with a tray.
Qin Junyao clutched the quilt and slowly covered her head, pretending not to hear Zhao Liangcai's voice.
Zhao Liangcai sat beside Qin Junyao and lifted her up, quilt and all. "Don't cover yourself, it's hot. I'll apply medicine for you again, Doctor Xiao Sheng."
Qin Junyao suddenly threw the quilt off her head and looked at Zhao Liangcai's stubbled face again. With a pained expression, she said, "Zhao Liangcai, be human."
"Then get up and eat. Fuzi is eager to see you." Zhao Liangcai reached into the quilt, rubbed Qin Junyao's waist, and then let go of her to set out the bowls and chopsticks.
Qin Junyao looked as if her life was over. She still remembered quite a bit from the night before.
She had taken off her clothes first, and the second time was at her instigation while drunk.
After that, Zhao Liangcai helped her bathe, dressed her, and applied medicine...
She had no face left.
"Yaoyao, you still prefer me to help you get dressed, don't you?"
"I'll do it myself."
After Qin Junyao was dressed, Liu Yu and Liu Rong entered with hot water. Liu Rong did Qin Junyao's hair and makeup, while Liu Yu tidied the bedding.
Except for bowing to Zhao Liangcai when entering the room, she didn't look at him again.
...
"Miss Ling is truly amazing. To find you two such well-behaved and observant maids in such a short time," Zhao Liangcai served Qin Junyao food.
Qin Junyao drank a bowl of porridge. "Stop trying to pry. I won't tell you."
"Wife, it's not good to have secrets on our first day of marriage."
"Didn't you ask for them for Officer Zhou? They have no chance."
Zhao Liangcai rubbed his chopsticks. "How do you say that?"
"Sister Manshuang doesn't have any intentions of starting a relationship right now. Besides, sigh, I'll let you in on a little secret, but you can't tell Officer Zhou."
Zhao Liangcai nodded in agreement.
"Sister Manshuang is a county princess."
"No wonder Suozi couldn't find out Miss Ling's background," Zhao Liangcai shook his head. Looking at it this way, it really was hopeless.
"Zhao Liangcai, why don't I see Qian Duo?" Qin Junyao asked Zhao Liangcai while biting into a steamed bun.
Zhao Liangcai picked out the ginger from the dish. "I have someone watching her. She's been quite obedient since the Qian family left. Maybe she thinks I'm still taking that medicine."
"Has Doctor Mo not returned yet?" Qin Junyao asked again.
"No."
"Yaoyao, can you ask me how much money we have? How much property? How many servants? How long can I spend with you after I return from the salt lake this time?"
Qin Junyao's eyes darted around. "Why hasn't Doctor Mo returned? Hehehe." She couldn't help but laugh herself.
The first meal on the first day of their marriage was quite joyful.
After eating, the two went to the main hall.
Qin Junyao did not have to serve tea to her sister-in-law that morning, but she had to offer incense to her parents-in-law's memorial tablets. She still needed to formally meet Fuzi. Proper etiquette had to be observed.
"Sister-in-law, hello," Fuzi respectfully greeted Qin Junyao, who was sitting in the main seat.
Qin Junyao smiled and asked Liu Rong to hand Fuzi the gift she had prepared for him.
Fuzi happily held five slingshots of various sizes. His weapons for shooting little birds had increased.
Fuzi sat at Zhao Liangcai's lower hand, testing the slingshots. Granny Ma then entered with the Zhao family servants to pay their respects to the mistress.
Qin Junyao looked at the all-male staff and said a few simple words.
She had heard Zhao Liangcai say that his family only had male servants before, thinking it referred to the male servants in the yard.
At least laundry and the kitchen would have female servants.
Unexpectedly, besides Granny Ma, they were all men. It seemed she really needed to find some rough maids and older women.
Qin Junyao and Zhao Liangcai mentioned Qian Duo at the dinner table, but they had no intention of seeing her. As long as the person didn't appear in front of her, she would pretend she didn't exist.
Fuzi had to study with Mr. Zheng in the afternoon and couldn't play with Qin Junyao.
Qin Junyao was not idle in the afternoon either. She was checking Zhao Liangcai's family fortune.
