Qing Yao

Chapter 49 The Governor Has Been Promoted

Zhao An was telling the truth, he was really thirsty.

The truth is that it sounds quite vulgar and embarrassing.

There is no water in the house. What can I drink when I’m thirsty?

The young lady was made to feel embarrassed and ashamed. How could a woman not know what the man next to her was thinking?

The key point is that Zhao An didn't turn his head after he finished speaking, but continued to stare at it.

The daughter in her arms was crying loudly again. The young lady had no choice but to plead in a weak voice: "Xiao Xiao is hungry. Can you please not look at me when my husband is around? You said you shouldn't look at me when it's indecent. I always turned my back to him when I was feeding Xiao Xiao."

Zhao An disagreed after hearing this and said, "How can you not look at something inappropriate? We are husband and wife now, we have a marriage certificate. You will spend your whole life with me. Besides, it's just a matter between husband and wife. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

At the same time, I thought to myself that Youlu was just a nerd and didn't know what the most beautiful things in the world were.

"I beg you to stop looking, Xiao Xiao is really hungry,"

How could the young lady have the nerve to give herself to this "husband" next to her just after they met? For the sake of her daughter, she could listen to her parents-in-law and follow this man who impersonated her husband, but she really couldn't consummate the marriage with this man on the first day.

Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten for a long time, and cried even louder.

Zhao An was also a little panicked, and advised from the side: "Hurry up and let Xiao Xiao have some snacks. Don't wake up the neighbors in the middle of the night. They might think we're doing something."

"I,"

The young lady was anxious, but what the man said was true. If the child continued to cry like this, the neighbors would definitely be alarmed.

"What do you mean by 'I'? I told you, from today on, I'm your man and you're my wife! Listen up and feed the little one."

Zhao An's voice could not be questioned.

"me,"

In desperation, feeling sorry for his daughter and worried that the neighbor's daughter would be forced into trouble by Zhao An, he reluctantly turned his back to Zhao An and undressed. After having food, Xiaoxiao stopped crying and making a fuss.

While eating, he gestured on his mother's body with his little hands.

How could Zhao An miss the opportunity to see it, so he naturally leaned over.

When the young lady saw this, she turned inside, and Zhao An followed suit.

The anxious young lady had no idea what to do.

After the young lady finished feeding the child, Zhao An turned around and half leaned on the bed, grinning and saying, "I've seen it all, let's make it a done deal later. Try to give me a big fat son next year."

The young lady patted and coaxed her daughter, and snorted a little angrily: "You are not my real man."

"We've been sleeping in the same bed, Xiaoxiao will call me daddy from now on, and the marriage certificate is ready, so how can it not be real?"

At this point, Zhao An's expression suddenly became very serious. He gently lifted the young lady's face and said, "I don't want to hear any more lies from you. You must not only treat me as Zhao Youlu, but also as your husband. Otherwise, if something happens to me, your life will be difficult."

Maybe the sudden seriousness scared the young lady a little, and she didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao An's expression relaxed. He leaned over and saw that Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep. He was about to untie the clothes that the young lady had already put on.

The young lady instinctively pulled her clothes tightly to cover it.

Zhao An didn't scare her, but just stared at her quietly.

After a dozen breaths, the young lady, feeling the pressure, put her hands down.

Zhao An didn't say anything, but moved silently, leaving nothing behind.

The shy young lady didn't know whether to cover herself or not, so she had to bury herself in the quilt.

Zhao An nodded and followed him into bed.

After a long time, he finally stuck his head out and took a deep breath.

This time I wasn't hungry or thirsty anymore.

The young lady's body was tense because she was too nervous.

"Don't think too much. I will treat you well in the future."

After saying this, Zhao An grinned and shrank back down again. Just like a fish that can't stay underwater forever and needs to come up to breathe, Zhao An surfaced again after a few seconds.

Then he moved his body, and the young lady trembled as well.

The bed is not new. It may be that the county school "purchased" it in a unified manner and the quality is not very good. The noise is a bit loud and creaky.

"There's someone next door, in case they hear it."

The young lady's face was still very red, and she looked very embarrassed.

"What are you afraid of?"

Zhao An didn't care about that. They were a legal couple.

If he doesn't turn Zhao Youlu's widow into his "real wife", there is no guarantee that there will be no trouble in the future.

Let’s put the feelings aside and tie the two together first.

How to tie?
Of course, it is to have my own child with the young lady.

With children, he is still a husband even if he is not, and he has family affection even if he does not have family affection.

There was no air conditioning or fans back then, so I could only lie naked, lift the quilt, and breathe deeply to cool down.

The candle was still lit, and the completely exposed young lady was too embarrassed to look up, so she just poked Zhao An lightly.

Zhao An looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Give me the towel,"

The young lady pointed to the new towels beside the bed.

Only then did Zhao An notice that the young lady was covering her wound with her hands, and he quickly handed the towel to her.

The young lady wiped it silently, and Zhao An admired it silently. After the young lady cleaned it up, he thought of something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, what's your name?"

The young lady whispered, "My name is Luo Chunlan."

"Chunlan?"

Zhao An smiled. The name sounded a bit earthy, similar to Youlu. However, what good names could ordinary people give their daughters these days? Common names like Chunlan, Chunyan, Chunfang, and Yanhong were the names of most girls.

After marrying a husband, she is often called "Ms. So-and-so" and basically does not use her own name.

"Take a break. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."

Zhao An turned around and blew out the candle. Exhausted, he soon fell asleep.

The "wife" beside him had not slept at all. She was either looking at the person next to her pillow with her side profile, or staring blankly at the ceiling, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

It may be that they feel that their life is miserable, or it may be that they have new aspirations for a new life in the future.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.

As long as this man treats her and her daughter well, Luo Chunlan will accept her fate.

The next day, Zhao An was awakened by the sound of his neighbor's footsteps. He looked outside and saw that it was already bright. He quickly got dressed and let Chunlan sleep for a while while he reported to the yamen.

After reporting, if I have nothing to do, I will take some time to come back and accompany my mother and daughter to stroll around Yangzhou City.

Instead of going to the county government office to offer congratulatory cigarettes to the county magistrate, he went to the government office first.

He still went there in a hired mule cart. When he arrived, he greeted several familiar yamen runners at the door. As soon as he entered the Experience Office, he heard laughter from inside. When he went in, he saw several governors in charge talking, and they all had happy faces.

Zhao An was confused. Just then, Wang Shuban, who worked with him under Governor Cui, passed by. He stopped him and asked why the governors were so happy.

"You don't know yet?"

Secretary Wang was a little surprised, but then he remembered that Zhao An hadn't come to the mansion in the past two days, so he smiled and said, "The prefect has been promoted to the provincial government."
