It was dawn, and Shichun Equinox was lying on the wedding couch in her new house, her eyes rolling non-stop.
At this time in the past, she would have already gotten up to work, but last night was her and her uncle's wedding night, so she was exempted from getting up so early. Unfortunately, her body was used to getting up early, even if she tried her best to close the door tightly.
Both eyes only slept half an hour longer than usual.
Unable to sleep and afraid to get up and disturb her uncle, she could only stare at the wedding tent above her head.
What happened last night was so vivid in her mind that she couldn't imagine that the always dignified and cold uncle could have such a ferocious side, which almost gave her an illusion that the uncle liked her.
This thought made her feel unbearable, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the uncle's profile.
The uncle's full name is Chu Ling, and he is the most handsome son in Liuzhou. This title was not awarded by herself, but was recognized by the entire Liuzhou.
Every year, gatherings of squires of all sizes in Liuzhou cause quite a stir. The reason is that the uncle’s appearance is too outstanding. Every time he appears, countless literati and talented women are sought after. There are even people from other provinces who come here just to meet the uncle.
On the other hand, the threshold for seeking marriage in the mansion is even tighter from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Almost every lady in Liuzhou has imagined what kind of beautiful lady will be standing next to her uncle.
Shi Chunfen never dreamed that this person was herself.
Although she entered the Chu family as a child bride when she was six years old, almost the entire family agreed that she was raised by the concubine for the concubine's grandson. They never thought that she would be betrothed to the eldest grandson of the concubine. For this reason, the uncle's mother
I even had a big fight with the old man, and in the end I didn't even attend the old man's wedding, so I moved back to Huating out of anger.
She had been feeling uneasy about this, always feeling that if it weren't for herself, her wife would not have missed her uncle's wedding.
She originally thought that the uncle would hate her because of this, but she didn't expect that he was so proactive and fierce last night, and he didn't seem to have any grudges at all. This made her feel relieved a little, and she finally dared to take the initiative to turn her head and look at herself.
husband.
Chu Ling's appearance was extremely handsome. She couldn't even describe how handsome he was. She only knew that he was prettier than any of the sons and gentlemen in all the picture books she had seen. In the past, a squire came to visit and praised him.
She felt that there could be no more suitable adjective than this.
Shi Chunfen stared at Chu Ling, and she became a little crazy without realizing it. Chu Ling suddenly opened his eyes, and she didn't react for a moment, but she met his deep eyes.
It was clear that those eyes were just the hazy look of someone who had just woken up, but Shi Chunquin felt inexplicably afraid. She always felt that those unfathomable eyes were like some kind of mysterious cave that could easily wrap up and swallow her up.
She trembled with fright and instinctively looked away.
Chu Ling didn't seem to care about her reaction. After a while of silence, he sat up.
Shi Chunquin didn't dare to neglect, he quickly stood up and handed over the outer clothes with a red face, "Uncle..."
Her voice was gentle and soft, with a bit of timidity.
Chu Ling glanced at her, but his eyes were inexplicably distant and indifferent, completely lacking the enthusiasm from last night.
Shi Chunfen's heart sank. She didn't know where she had offended this ancestor. Did she think she was not conspicuous enough and didn't immediately help him get dressed and get out of bed?
Shi Chunquin didn't dare to think too much, and for a moment he forgot about his fear, and stretched out his hand to help Chu Ling get dressed.
Chu Ling has an excellent figure, with wide shoulders, narrow waist, and slender neck. There is not a trace of excess fat on his body, but he does not appear strong. He has the elegance of a scholar and the majesty of a military general.
Perhaps Chu Ling's eyes were too hot when he stared at him, and Chu Ling coughed slightly in displeasure, his eyes full of coldness.
Shi Chunfen speeded up as if she was frightened. She lowered her head to help Chu Ling put on his clothes, and then got out of bed to help him wash up. Chu Ling looked at her coldly and didn't say a word, but
However, she felt the edge inexplicably, and it was not until she followed him out that she felt relieved.
According to the rules of the Chu family, the newlyweds had to serve tea to their parents-in-law the next morning. When Chu Ling's mother returned to Huating, she changed the situation to serving tea to the dowager and the eldest master.
The eldest man's name is Chu Yan, and he is the nominal head of the Chu Mansion. The reason why he is so nominal is simply because he is a filial son. All matters in the mansion, big or small, must be decided after asking the wife for her opinion. Over time, there will inevitably be some problems.
The gossipy servants were talking behind his back, saying that he was just a boss in name only.
The eldest man is benevolent and filial, so he will not take these words seriously, but the eldest lady is different. She is the head of Huating County and the younger sister of the emperor. She has a distinguished and prominent position. How can she bear the criticism of her own county horse?
, In addition, the uncle was raised by the wife herself, and spent much more time with the wife than her own mother, so it was inevitable that she would have resentment in her heart, and her relationship with the master would become quite estranged.
But no matter how estranged she was, she didn't go back to Huating without making any fuss. She decided to leave this time, which showed that she was very angry.
Shi Chunfen could completely understand her anger. Not to mention that she, a mother, felt that they were not a good match. Even Shi Chunfen herself felt that she was just trying to reach out.
With Chu Ling's status and appearance, even if she goes to Princess Shang, she is a good match. What more can she ask for?
But things in the world are so wonderful. Good things she never expected to happen happened to her inexplicably. She was unable to change and had no intention of resisting. She could only go with the flow and accept the destiny.
After serving tea and receiving red envelopes, Chu Yan called Chu Ling to the study, and Shi Chunfen also followed Mrs. Tai into the inner hall.
When she was able to enter the Chu Mansion, she largely relied on the Tai Madam to make the decision. Coupled with this marriage, Shi Chunfen simply didn't know how to thank the Tai Madam. Therefore, in front of her, she was so nervous that she couldn't move or even move.
Where should I put it?
Seeing her embarrassed look, the old lady couldn't help laughing, "Spring Equinox, it's been ten years since you've been in the mansion, are you still used to it?"
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "Thanks to my grandmother's care, everything is fine in Chunfen in the house."
The old lady nodded slightly and felt something for a moment, "It was the vernal equinox when you came that day, so I gave you this name. The vernal equinox irrigates and the return of the black bird also means planting hope for you. Now you are finally thriving.
I am also married to A Ling, so I can be considered worthy of your parents."
Hearing this, Shi Chunfen couldn't hold back her emotions. She stepped forward and knelt down in front of the old lady, banging her head three times, and tears burst out instantly, "Spring Equinox thanks my grandmother for her kindness in recreating!"
She came from a humble background, so it was a great blessing to be able to enter the Chu family as a child bride. Now she is married to the most outstanding eldest son of the Chu family. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mrs. Tai is her reborn parent.
The old lady knew that she was not at ease, so she didn't ask anyone to stop her. After she kowtowed, she smiled and said: "Silly boy, Aling has always been a noble man. If you marry him, you will inevitably suffer from him in the future."
Angry, if that’s the case, it’s grandma who should thank you.”
When she said this, Shi Chunquin finally understood.
Yes, the uncle has a weird temper. If he marries a lady from a famous family, he will inevitably be like the master and his wife.
The Madam may have seen their mistakes and chose someone like her who was easy to handle.
If anyone else knew this reason, she might be unhappy, but here at the Spring Equinox, she breathed a sigh of relief. She always remembered her origins and was full of gratitude to the Chu family. If she could do something for the Chu family, she would
You are happier than anyone else, so why would you care about the old lady’s thoughts?
Besides, she did take advantage of her by marrying Chu Ling.
People, how can you get benefits and save face at the same time? Isn’t that too greedy?
