All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

"Will my wife be leaving the house the day after tomorrow?" Xu Jinshu asked cautiously.

He was really scared, worried that asking Lin Ruan one thing after another would make her upset.

But there was no other way. Tomorrow was the day for him to return home, and he had to find a way to get Lin Ruan to accompany him.

Moreover, the Duke's Mansion would collapse in less than four years, and he had not even consummated his marriage with Lin Ruan in the true sense of the word.

If he failed to give birth to a daughter of Lin Ruan, after Lin Ruan's death, he would either be killed by a piece of white silk or live a miserable life of seclusion.

At this moment, no one wanted Lin Ruan to be alive and well more than Xu Jinshu. Even the Duke and his wife could not compare to him.

Lin Ruan glanced at him sideways and asked casually, "What's wrong? Did you get jealous because I went to Nanfeng Pavilion?"

Seeing that Lin Ruan asked with a smile, Xu Jinshu quickly rubbed Lin Ruan's knee with his face and said with a smile: "How dare this servant be jealous? It's just that this servant grew up in the countryside before he was 14 years old, and he also heard passers-by talk about... There is a... There is a courtesan in Nanfeng Pavilion... She doesn't look like someone from the Qian Dynasty, but more like someone from the Qing Kingdom."

Lin Ruan asked lightly, "No matter what country he's from, aren't all the men who enter Nanfeng Pavilion male prostitutes from the Daqian Dynasty? Do they have to pay a few more taels of silver just because they're from the Qing Kingdom?"

These words were said frivolously. Xu Jinshu looked up suspiciously, wanting to see if Lin Ruan was serious or just pretending. As a result, he happened to meet Lin Ruan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xu Jinshu:!!!!!!!!!

He felt that he was seen through at that moment, and Xu Jinshu suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

As if not noticing Xu Jinshu's unusual behavior, Lin Ruan smiled and said, "However, since you have done me a great service by reminding me, I will not leave tomorrow and will accompany you back home. My dear, are you touched?"

He didn't dare to move. Xu Jinshu didn't dare to move at all.

He even felt a little regretful. If he had known that Lin Ruan was such a person, he would have married Han Nianzong.

At least he is bad on the surface and his mind is superficial.

He always gets it right.

But then he thought, if Lin Ruan accompanied him back home instead of going to Nanfeng Pavilion, would the Duke's wife be more kind to him?

He thought over and over in his mind, but on the surface he had a look of gratitude. He put his head on Lin Ruan's knees and whispered: "Thank you, my wife, you are so kind."

So can we have dinner now?

He is really hungry.

Lin Ruan patted Xu Jinshu's head gently. "Get up and prepare some food. You must be hungry after a busy day."

Xu Jinshu hurriedly stood up, answered, and went to arrange the meal. Soon, the table was filled with steaming hot meals.

Xu Jinshu served Lin Ruan the food while secretly observing her expression. Lin Ruan took a few bites and suddenly said, "You were learning etiquette in your father's courtyard this afternoon. Where did you eat lunch?"

Xu Jinshu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said quickly, "My wife, this servant and father had lunch together."

Lin Ruan chuckled, raised her chin and nodded at the stool next to her, and said softly, "I guess you didn't eat much at noon, so sit down and eat with us."

Xu Jinshu was delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude.

After the two of them finished dinner, Lin Ruan asked the servant to go out for a while, and when he came back, he brought two brocade boxes.

"Ping'an, send this brocade box to the Duke's wife and tell her that it is a gift from me to her."

Ping An was Lin Ruan's personal servant. He nodded his head and walked out holding the brocade box.

Then Lin Ruan pushed the remaining brocade box to Xu Jinshu and said, "This is a gift from me to you. Wear it when you return home tomorrow and see if you like it."

"A gift for the servant?" Xu Jinshu lowered his eyes, and his slender fingers placed on the brocade box, but he didn't open it for a long time.

The return home is on the third day after the groom's marriage.

After getting married, the groom has to be busy serving his wife, learning etiquette in front of his father-in-law, and taking care of his wife's backyard. In just two days, he is so busy that he has no time to make clothes or jewelry for himself.

Even if the elders are truly kind and considerate, and the groom has both time and money, he would not dare to buy things for himself right after getting married. Such a person would be disliked by his wife's family and be considered impetuous and frivolous.

So even if you have something in your hand, you cannot think about it for yourself, but instead you have to work for your wife.

Virtuous, considerate and gentle.

Just eight simple words, each word is filled with the man's blood and tears.

Meet a distinguished family, such as the Duke's Mansion.

When Xu Jinshu served tea, even though the Duke's wife was dissatisfied with his status and the marriage exchange in the Marquis's Mansion, she still gave him a piece of jewelry and a red envelope as a gift.

The second and third uncles of the Duke's Mansion also gave him a piece of jewelry and a red envelope.

But it is not as valuable as the one given by the Duke's wife.

When the groom returns home, he can wear the jewelry given by his elders. His husband's family will also feel that their son is well-educated and that his wife's family is satisfied, so they will be proud of it.

When encountering those unrefined families, such as the Han family that Xu Jinshu married into in her previous life, the head husband of the Han family only gave him a thin red envelope.

There is nothing else.

When Xu Jinshu returned home from her previous life, she was still wearing her dowry, and was therefore severely ridiculed by Xu Xiaolang.

Xu Jinshu didn't expect to receive the jewelry Lin Ruan bought for him on the second day of his wedding.

After all, when Xu Xiaolang returned to his parents' home in his previous life, the jewelry he wore were just the jewelry given to him by the Duke's wife.

Lin Ruan definitely did not buy these for him, otherwise Xu Xiaolang would have shown off in front of him even more.

Seeing that Xu Jinshu didn't make any further moves, Lin Ruan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, you don't like it before you even open it?"

Xu Jinshu came back to his senses and quickly replied, "No, that's not the case, my lady. I was just too surprised. My lady is truly so kind."

After saying that, he opened the brocade box without thinking too much.

After opening the brocade box, he was stunned again.

Inside was a complete set of red gold and silk agate headwear, including a silk peony hair crown, four hairpins of different styles, four headbands with red agate pendants of various colors, a necklace with auspicious cloud and ruyi patterns, four bracelets, four rings, and four sets of jade pendants with various patterns.

There are a total of twenty-two pieces of jewelry.

Even though he was a first-rank lady in his previous life, he had never received such fine jewelry from Han Nianzong.

In his previous life, all the jewelry he had was bought by himself after he carefully took care of his dowry.

Even if he bought it himself, he would still be scolded by Han Nianzong, who would say he was a spendthrift, vain, and even restless.

Because of his gorgeous appearance, the head ornaments he bought for himself were either silver ornaments with simple patterns, or solemn old green jade and black jade.

In his two lifetimes, he had never worn such gorgeous jewelry.

"The lady is more beautiful than flowers. Wouldn't she look like a fairy descending to earth when she puts on this?"

He heard his wife say with a smile.

Xu Jinshu's cheeks flushed, and her heart was filled with emotion and joy.

He gently picked up the hair crown, which was warm to the touch, and the red-gold light flowed, as if it also carried Lin Ruan's warmth.

"Thank you, my wife. I will cherish you." His voice was soft and a little shy.

Lin Ruan found Xu Jinshu's cautious yet happy look very interesting.

"Okay, try it on and see if it fits."

Xu Jinshu followed his instructions, stood up, faced the mirror, and picked out the pieces of jewelry one by one and put them on.

The red gold sardonyx shone on his head, neck, and wrists, making his already gorgeous face even more dazzling. He looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes full of surprise and intoxication.

"Wife, does it look good?" Xu Jinshu turned around and asked shyly.

Lin Ruan walked forward, took a closer look, and nodded with a smile: "It looks good. This lady's taste is naturally not bad. When you return home the day after tomorrow, you should dress like this and let those people see how outstanding this lady's husband is."

Xu Jinshu's heart was filled with sweetness. He raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered, "My wife, don't you think that the appearance of this servant makes him uneasy?"

Lin Ruan raised her chin, her expression arrogant, and said frankly: "What kind of handsome man is not worthy of this lady?"

What does that feel like?

In fact, Xu Jinshu knew it.

That was the confidence and pride that was unique to women, something he had never been able to cultivate in his two lifetimes.
