A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!
Chapter 105: Homely Talk
What was supposed to be a proper poetry appreciation event turned into a bittersweet memory. Jiang Xinyu rubbed her aching back and gritted her teeth as she woke up early in the morning.
Her will was so weak; how could she have let that scoundrel eat her again so easily?
As expected, the idea that brothels only sell their art and not their bodies is nonsense. When lust takes hold, who has the leisure to discuss poetry and songs?
Even the masterpieces of Li Bai and Du Fu couldn't seduce this scoundrel. Should she be proud of her irresistible charm?
But indulging in such excesses isn't a good thing.
For her, Xiao Yuan was like fried chicken and beer on her weight loss journey, or novels and comics on her college entrance exam journey.
It smells really good, but it's also a real hassle.
To warn herself against debauchery, Jiang Xinyu actually had someone bring a hanging scroll with the words "abstain from lust" written on it and hung it on the wall. Several maids wanted to laugh but dared not, their faces turning red from holding it in.
Jiang Xinyu snorted and headed straight for the training ground, trying her best to catch up on the progress of the previous two days, even though her body was a little sore.
Laugh, what's so funny?
Mr. Lu Xun wrote the word "early" and never arrived late again. She refused to believe that her two words had no effect whatsoever.
And you know what? It's not completely useless.
This calligraphy work became part of the couple's shameless play.
Jiang Xinyu now has a very regular daily routine.
She couldn't get up in the morning as usual. After getting up and having lunch, she went to the training ground to practice her physical fitness while regretting her indulgence.
After practicing for two hours, she began to memorize things she thought were useful.
When Xiao Yuan comes back, the two of them will chat for a while, have dinner, and then discuss some treasonous and head-grabbing schemes.
As they chatted, she was unknowingly led to bed by that scoundrel.
Supervisor Xiao has really gone astray; not only has his behavior become increasingly open, but he has even started playing the reverse seduction game.
He was no longer as ignorant and impatient as before; instead, the bean-picking lady took the opportunity to make demands.
He insisted that his wife write the words "don't" on the painting about abstaining from sex before he would continue.
then……
"Quitting pornography" has become... "Don't try to quit pornography," "Can't quit pornography," "I can't quit pornography."
Xiao Yuan only let her go when there was nowhere left to write on the scroll.
Jiang Xinyu was really about to cry.
This scoundrel can find her weaknesses, but she can't catch him in any way.
Even after he had eaten her entire body several times, Xiao Yuan's pants were still tightly fastened.
She was at a huge disadvantage, being outnumbered by her whole body to only half.
It was her suggestion that we respect the other person's privacy.
Even if Xiao Yuan didn't ask about the origin of her poems, she couldn't force him to reveal them. She had to bear the consequences of her actions, even with tears in her eyes.
Let's wait and see; that day will come sooner or later.
Actually, there were a few times when she wasn't fully asleep, even though she didn't open her eyes, and Xiao Yuan carefully held her hand and touched that spot.
The uneven surface and raised marks tell you roughly what kind of situation it is without even looking at it.
Although a few scars were nothing to her, a quasi-forensic doctor who had even seen giants, Xiao Yuan was trembling so badly.
The other person must have mustered all their courage to do this while she was asleep. She was afraid that if she made a sound, she would scare the idiot badly, so she could only pretend not to know.
Anyway, they have a lifetime to live, she can wait, and wait for Xiao Yuan's unease to slowly dissipate.
Jiang Xinyu tolerated Xiao Yuan's antics for several nights in a row because she sensed his unease that time, but no matter how much she felt sorry for him, she couldn't let it go on forever.
Even though rock sugar braised pork knuckle is delicious, it can't be eaten every day. So, Xiao Duzhu's advances were rejected once again.
This time, Jiang Xinyu was very determined. No matter how much she tried to seduce him, it wouldn't work. From now on, she would strictly adhere to the rule of working one day and resting two days.
Xiao Yuan felt extremely wronged, and he wouldn't behave himself in bed at night, either sneaking a kiss or pitifully tugging at his sleeve.
But this time, his wife was determined to ignore him, so in order not to be kicked out of bed, Chief Supervisor Xiao could only reluctantly put his arm around his wife's waist and go to sleep.
Okay, I'll take two days off. It'll taste even better if I crave it for two days and then eat my fill in one go.
Xiao Yuan's pitiful, self-deceiving words softened Jiang Xinyu's heart. She gently stroked his soft, long hair as if petting a well-behaved big cat.
To distract themselves, the two started talking about matters of the court, and Jiang Xinyu gained a general understanding of Xiao Yuan's stance.
Actually, there weren't many good people in the emperor's family; they were all pretty much the same, even among the worst of the worst.
But Xiao Yuan favored the Crown Prince more.
Although the Crown Prince has become increasingly disappointing in recent years and the court officials have been largely divided up by the princes below him, he is, after all, the eldest son of the legitimate wife and was once highly regarded by the old emperor.
He doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to wait it out. Once the old emperor dies, he'll have finally risen to power.
Despite the presence of military generals around the Second Prince and the admiration of many scholars for the Third Prince, they were all merely seeking to gain merit in the process of marrying into the new dynasty, and had little genuine loyalty to their respective masters.
If their rivals were to seize power, they would fight to the death, but if the legitimate heir, who has gradually withdrawn from the competition in recent years, were to succeed them, they would not need to gamble everything.
The old emperor kept the crown prince in the Eastern Palace to prevent his sons from fighting too fiercely for him, but wasn't this also an opportunity?
Even roof tiles have their day of reckoning, and the east wind can turn south. After ten years of sitting on the sidelines, the courtiers who followed the crown prince have mostly scattered.
However, this passive attitude also reduced the old emperor's suspicion of him.
Xiao Yuan felt that as long as the Crown Prince listened to advice and didn't recklessly court death, he was 80% confident that the Crown Prince would ascend to the throne.
Supporting the crown prince is also the safest option for him.
The Eastern Depot was a knife in the emperor's hand; it served whoever was emperor.
The crown prince is the heir apparent, personally appointed by the emperor, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with him supporting the legitimate succession.
As Jiang Xinyu listened to Xiao Yuan recount the details of the princes, she suddenly understood why the third prince ultimately ascended to the throne.
When choosing a frog from a pile of toads, you only need to see who has fewer blemishes.
This old emperor's family was only slightly better than the Gao family of Northern Qi; they were a complete bunch of lunatics.
This third prince may not be the least ill, but he is certainly the best at pretending.
With this bunch of brilliant and promising talents, if she were the old emperor, she would probably choose the seemingly more normal one when she was dying.
Jiang Xinyu didn't ask Xiao Yuan how he intended to use the poems he had memorized. She had also sent someone to experiment with the cement formula, and if it succeeded, it was probably part of a special plan.
The glass itself is fine.
Chief Supervisor Xiao said that if the Qian family wanted to run the business, they should go ahead and do it. As the Chief Supervisor of the Eastern Depot, he, Xiao Yuan, could handle this matter.
Looking at her husband's domineering demeanor, Jiang Xinyu suddenly thought he was so handsome and couldn't help but pounce on him and give him a loud kiss.
Xiao Yuan didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely pleased with himself.
He really needed to show off his strength occasionally. The lady's admiring gaze was so satisfying, it made him even happier than receiving a large reward.
Because she hadn't done anything unusual the day before, Jiang Xinyu got up a little earlier the next day, which was rare for her.
Of course, her "early" is relative; Chief Supervisor Xiao had already gone to the Eastern Depot, and even Madam Wang was already sitting in the guest courtyard.
Madam Wang also wanted to spend more time with her niece before leaving, and since she also had a cousin living in the governor's mansion, she would come over about once every three days.
Jiang Xinyu took a nap in the morning, so Madam Wang went directly to Liu Xu's courtyard, guessing that her niece would wake up soon before coming over.
She used to want to nag her child to change, but seeing how her husband doted on her, she couldn't be bothered to be disliked anymore.
Everyone has their own preferences; maybe Chief Supervisor Xiao just likes this kind of lazy, good-for-nothing type.
Yu'er was fortunate to marry into the Governor's Mansion. She lived a comfortable life, doted on by her husband. Apart from not having children, it was practically a fairytale life.
She had prepared herself to lose money and get angry after traveling such a long distance, but unexpectedly, she made a huge profit.
Mahjong was in high demand and short supply as soon as it hit the market, earning tens of thousands of taels of silver in just half a month.
This is just in the capital; the situation in Jiangnan is likely even worse.
Little did she know that an even bigger surprise awaited her today: her niece had given her a recipe for making glass.
If this succeeds, the Qian family will likely become the richest family in Jiangnan.
Unfortunately, just as the topic was getting started, an uninvited guest arrived: someone from the Marquis of Chengyi's residence delivered an invitation to his matriarch's birthday banquet.
