Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 171

"If only it were before liberation, you could take another concubine to share the burden with me."

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

He Yuzhu was just getting sleepy when he immediately became alert. Perhaps Xu Huizhen was testing him. Otherwise, why would she say that?

Of course, Chen Xueru's matter must not be mentioned at all. In fact, He Yuzhu was also extremely troubled. Chen Xueru only sent a servant to deliver a generous gift and did not show up at the wedding these past two days.

I wonder if she harbors any resentment.

Sigh, I can only take it one step at a time. I don't know how this life of hiding and dodging will end.

Three days after the wedding, He Yuzhu got up early and brought Xu Huizhen and gifts to Niulanshan Town.

The newlyweds bowed together to the ancestral tablets of gods and Buddhas in their home, and then kowtowed to the parents-in-law.

At noon, there was a sumptuous meal, and in the afternoon, He Yuzhu returned to the capital alone.

As a new bride, Xu Huizhen needs to stay at home and reunite with her parents. She can go back on the same day or return the next day.

Because of the long distance, Xu Hui and his sister agreed to return to Beijing together the next day.

Xu Huizhen was pulled into the inner room by her mother, who then asked about their private matters.

At that time, there were no books or videos to introduce this knowledge, and society was very conservative. Many newlywed couples did not know how to have a child.

There are many weddings where the bride is still a virgin six months after the wedding.

It is only when a mother keeps this in mind that she will teach her daughter the right things at crucial moments.

Xu's mother inquired about the situation.

Xu Huizhen also had a lot to say, so she told him all about how the couple fought and challenged each other on their wedding night.

"How can you talk such nonsense? How could a man practice for more than an hour?"

"Mom, would I lie to you about something like this? I was watching the time."

"Does it really mean it's been more than an hour?"

Xu Huizhen nodded and asked, "Mother, what should I do? I fainted several times in the middle of it."

"Don't even mention you, any woman would faint."

Although Xu's mother was virtuous, she could say anything, even crude things, when rural women chatted. She knew everything about which man was no good, which wife was always hungry, and what the head of the household was like.

Of course, one can also roughly know the results of other men's performance. In the whole village, there are quite a few men who can last only a few minutes, but only strong and healthy men can last for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

As Xu Huizhen said, her son-in-law could do push-ups for up to an hour, something she had never heard of before.

Xu Huizhen asked, "Mother, do you think Brother Zhuzi will look down on me for being useless?"

"this..."

This is my own daughter. It won't work to coax her. Men who can't get satisfaction at home will look for other women outside.

Then he said, "Men are all like that. I'll teach you a method. Actually, I originally wanted to teach you after a while, but it doesn't matter if I teach you now."

Xu Huizhen listened to her mother talk about those strange things and realized that the couple had so many other tricks up their sleeves.

I thought I was the only one lying down there.

But can these things alleviate the current problems between the two of them? The main problem is that I can't persevere to the end.

"Mom, why do I feel like all this knowledge is useless?"

Xu's mother said, "What can we do? You can't exactly find him a concubine, can you?"

Xu Huizhen said shyly, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu's mother said, "You should think about it more in the future. Actually, it's not a big deal. Look at those landlords and wealthy families in the city in the past. Which one of them didn't have three wives and four concubines? Even so, they often went to the Eight Great Hutongs to seek pleasure."

“Take our town’s landlord Hu for example, he has eight concubines.”

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't take a concubine in the capital anymore."

Xu's mother said, "What can I do?"

Xu Huizhen was also worried, and she didn't even enjoy her dinner.

He Yuzhu was also worried. When he got home, he received a call from Chen Xueru, asking him to come over.

Helpless, He Yuzhu had no choice but to leave his home and go to the shop near the front gate to keep watch. Time flew by, and soon it was evening. After closing the shop, he stayed there to rest.

He climbed over the wall between the two houses and walked straight in without knocking.

Then He Yuzhu was stunned. Bright red double happiness symbols were pasted on the wall, two bright red candles were lit on the long table, and Chen Xueru, dressed in a bright red wedding dress and wearing a red veil, sat at the Eight Immortals table.

It's clear that this wedding dress is brand new, unlike any I've seen before.

He Yuzhu paused for a moment, mechanically closed the door, walked up to Chen Xueru, and took her small hand.

"Xueru, I'm here."

Chen Xueru said with a mix of joy and shyness, "My lord, today is our wedding day. From now on, I, Chen Xueru, will be your woman."

He Yuzhu finally came to his senses. He hadn't expected Chen Xueru to pull this stunt. He was deeply moved, but secrets never stay hidden forever. Xu Huizhen would definitely find out about this later. How would they handle it then?

But He Yuzhu couldn't bring himself to refuse. How could he ignore Chen Xueru's deep affection for him?

"Xueru, I'm not as good as you think. I feel a little sorry for your deep affection."

Chen Xueru hugged He Yuzhu's waist and said, "Don't say those things. I know what I'm doing, and I'm willing to be with you. I won't regret marrying you. Today is our big day, and I'm going to marry you."

What else could He Yuzhu say? Chen Xueru had already made preparations, so He Yuzhu could only marry another wife.

There was a set of formal attire on the chair next to him. He Yuzhu changed into it and then took Chen Xueru's hand, slowly leading her into the master bedroom next door.

The room was also redecorated, with large red "double happiness" characters pasted everywhere on the walls, windows, and cabinets, and bright candles turning the whole room into a red world.

He took Chen Xueru's hand and helped her sit on the edge of the bed. Then, he used a scale rod to lift the red veil. Chen Xueru's innocent and charming face was full of fear. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her lips trembled slightly. Her beautiful face, as warm and gentle as jade, had a rosy glow under her fair and tender skin. She was simply indescribably beautiful.

Although Chen Xueru had some charm before, she was still a young girl. But after consummating her marriage with He Yuzhu a few days ago, Chen Xueru's allure gradually became apparent.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her soft breasts rose and fell gently, and her pink tongue unconsciously licked her cherry lips, exuding a charming and innocent allure that seemed perfectly natural.

Looking at the beautiful face before him, He Yuzhu couldn't help but swallow.

Compared to the pure and beautiful Xu Huizhen, Chen Xueru has a completely different charm, exuding a captivating and passionate allure.

It deeply attracted He Yuzhu.

Although the two had already been completely honest with each other, Chen Xueru was still very shy. She timidly raised her head and glanced at him, then shyly called out:

"Master!"

“Wife!” He Yuzhu replied.

"master!"

"lady!"

He Yuzhu couldn't hold back any longer. He bent down and pushed Chen Xueru down onto the bed, then went up and kissed her.

Chen Xueru exclaimed, "Wait, we haven't drunk the nuptial wine yet!"

Chapter 126 Pillar, from now on you must treat everyone equally.

An hour later, He Yuzhu finally got up. Chen Xueru gave him a shy glare, and after a short rest, the two of them got up and continued with the wedding ceremony.

After drinking the nuptial wine, Chen Xueru took He Yuzhu to another room, offered incense to Old Master Chen, and informed him that Chen Xueru had found a good husband and a soulmate. She also said that He Yuzhu would take care of her in the future, and that their lives would get better and better, so that the old man would no longer have to worry.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and prepared a table of food and drinks. After the two ate, Chen Xueru nestled in He Yuzhu's arms.

“Zhu Zi, from now on you must treat everyone equally. If Hui Zhen has something, I must have it too. You can’t give him more and me less.”

He Yuzhu was a little dumbfounded. Why talk about this on such a joyous day? But what could he do when he had married two wives in a row?

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry, whatever she has, you'll have too."

Chen Xueru suddenly reached her small hand under the covers, grabbed He Yuzhu's groin, and said, "I'm talking about this, you can't leave me out either."

"What? You're going to argue about this too?"

"Of course, although I married you, I don't acknowledge her as the first wife. I'm older than her not only in age, but in every other way."

As she spoke, Chen Xueru puffed out her breasts and asked arrogantly, "Don't you think so?"

He Yuzhu immediately felt a headache coming on. Chen Xueru was clearly not convinced by Xu Huizhen. He advised her:

"Yes, you are outstanding in some aspects, but don't be so petty. Don't worry about the distinction between first wife and concubine. I will treat you all equally. You are good sisters, so please don't have any conflicts, okay?"

Chen Xueru nodded and said, "Anyway, you can't side with him. In the future, no matter how many children he has for you, I will have a few for you too, so that the He family can continue to grow."

He Yuzhu's head throbbed even more. If Chen Xueru gave birth to a child with the surname He, wouldn't that be publicly announcing to the neighbors that the child was He Yuzhu's?

By then, even if others don't want to know, they'll already know.

He Yuzhu said, "Having a child is a long way off. Why do you want a child so badly?"

"Yes, you're the only one in your He family, so of course I want to give you more sons."

He Yuzhu was deeply moved. He pulled Chen Xueru into his arms, one hand already inside her, and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Only by exercising more can we have a baby."

Chen Xueru, who had been so arrogant just moments before, immediately cried out, "No! I fainted several times just now. I can't study anymore today!"

Chen Xueru was in slightly better physical condition than Xu Huizhen, but she still couldn't withstand it and fainted several times in the process.
