Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely
Chapter 104 The Poor Scholar's Wife (03)
Zhou Yu'an left the room while Yu Nuan was taking a bath.
Zhou's mother came out to get something and saw her son standing at the door. She asked, "Third son, why are you standing at the door? Where's your wife?"
Zhou's mother knew that with their family's circumstances, being able to marry the daughter of a wealthy man in the county was a stroke of good luck for them. Therefore, before the wedding, Zhou's mother told her son that if his wife had a bit of a temper, he should be tolerant of her.
Zhou Yu'an did not answer his mother, but changed the subject and asked, "Mother, have all the guests left?"
"Yes, your maternal grandfather and your uncles are staying at our house and are planning to go back tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yu'an's maternal grandfather's family lived in another village, and it was getting late, so it wasn't safe for them to go home.
"Hmm, where's my dad?"
"He's still drinking with your uncle. I have to go check on him. Your father has had enough to drink today." After saying that, Zhou's mother quickly walked to the front hall.
Today is his son's wedding day, and Mr. Zhou was given a lot of drinks during the banquet. Mrs. Zhou is worried that he might get sick from drinking too much.
Zhou Yu'an fed the mosquitoes outside the door for a while, then heard a noise behind him.
After Yu Nuan finished taking a bath, she didn't know what to do with the bathwater, so she went out to ask someone for help. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yu'an standing there.
"I'm done washing. Where should I pour the water?"
"Leave it there, I'll handle it."
With someone helping, Yu Nuan didn't stand on ceremony and turned back into the house to continue drying her hair. In ancient times, even washing hair was a huge hassle, especially since her hair was long and thick, and there were no hair dryers. Luckily, it was summer now, and her hair would dry easily if left to air dry.
When Yu Nuan's hair was almost dry and she was getting ready to sleep, she suddenly realized that she couldn't let Zhou Yu'an sleep in the study on their wedding night. Not to mention whether Zhou Yu'an would agree or not, Yu Nuan's father would scold her severely if he found out.
The thought of sharing a bed with a man she had just met made Yu Nuan feel extremely uncomfortable. One comforting thing was that, in the original owner's memory, Zhou Yu'an did not share a room with her on their wedding night.
As Yu Nuan sat on the edge of the bed lost in thought, Zhou Yu'an pushed the door open and came in. Yu Nuan watched as he locked the door, and her heart skipped a beat.
Zhou Yu'an approached Yu Nuan. In the dim light, Yu Nuan saw that Zhou Yu'an had also changed out of his wedding dress. There was still moisture on his clothes when she got closer, so he must have taken a bath outside.
Zhou Yu'an clearly saw the unease on his wife's face. To be honest, Zhou Yu'an had never thought about getting married. In the past, he had been focused on passing the imperial examinations. However, his parents kept urging him to get married. Then, when Master Li came to his door, Zhou Yu'an knew that by saving Miss Li, he had ruined her reputation.
Upon hearing this, Zhou's father immediately decided to propose marriage. Zhou Yu'an thought it didn't matter who he married, so he agreed.
From Li Yunuan's various attitudes after the engagement, Zhou Yu'an knew that Li Yunuan did not want to marry him. However, Zhou Yu'an was not angry because he understood that Li Yunuan was also a victim in this marriage.
"Go to sleep! Don't worry, I won't do anything until you've decided whether you want to continue this marriage." Zhou Yu'an's tone was gentle, giving the impression that he was a very kind person.
Yu Nuan had read the novel's plot and knew that after the original owner died, Zhou Yu'an would pass the imperial examination with top honors and rise through the ranks to become the most powerful minister in the court. Such a person was not at all like the gentle and harmless person he appeared to be.
Zhou Yu'an handed over the initiative in this marriage to Yu Nuan. After hearing Zhou Yu'an's promise, Yu Nuan nodded and asked, "Which side will you sleep on?"
"Anywhere is fine with me, it depends on where you want to sleep."
"I want to sleep inside." Yu Nuan looked at the bed, which wasn't very big, and was afraid she might fall off in the middle of the night.
"it is good."
Zhou Yu'an seemed to dote on Yu Nuan, but Yu Nuan understood that Zhou Yu'an's care for her was only out of a sense of responsibility, or rather, these things were of no concern to him. Yu Nuan could sense the aloofness beneath Zhou Yu'an's gentle exterior.
Zhou Yu'an took an empty plate from the table, scooped up the red dates, longans, peanuts, and lotus seeds scattered on the bed into the plate, and said to Yu Nuan, "Alright, you can get into bed now."
Yu Nuan was experiencing a traditional wedding for the first time and had never expected any of this, so she looked on in amazement.
Yu Nuan climbed into bed and lay down. Zhou Yu'an blew out the oil lamp by the bedside. Two long red candles were still burning not far away, bringing a sliver of light to the room.
After Zhou Yu'an lay down, the bed became crowded. Yu Nuan was so nervous that she dared not move and held her breath. The whole space was filled with an unfamiliar atmosphere, and Yu Nuan felt that the air had become thin.
Sensing Yu Nuan's stiffness, Zhou Yu'an curled the corners of his lips and smiled silently.
After a while, Yu Nuan heard Zhou Yu'an's steady breathing and knew that he had fallen asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief, turned over, and fell asleep with her back to Zhou Yu'an.
Yu Nuan didn't expect that the original owner had such a bad sleeping posture. After entering Yu Nuan's body, Yu Nuan also retained some of the original owner's habits.
Zhou Yu'an looked at his wife nestled in his arms, then helplessly stared at the ceiling. He hadn't actually fallen asleep; he had just pretended to be asleep to let Yu Nuan relax and sleep.
On their wedding night, it was impossible for Zhou Yu'an not to have any thoughts. He recalled the first time he saw Yu Nuan and was stunned by her beauty. Zhou Yu'an thought that another reason he did not object to the marriage was Yu Nuan's beauty.
At the time, Zhou Yu'an was still despising himself in his heart, never expecting that he, like other men, could not escape the allure of beauty.
Zhou Yu'an gently moved Yu Nuan to her own pillow, preparing to sleep. She had been busy all day and was more tired than he had been studying all day.
Just as Zhou Yu'an was about to fall asleep, he felt another head move onto his chest. However, Zhou Yu'an was too tired to pay attention. Unexpectedly, Yu Nuan went even further and moved her whole body to Zhou Yu'an's side. The two hugged each other tightly, like a loving couple.
The next morning, Zhou Yu'an woke up at his usual time and saw Yu Nuan clinging to him, snuggled up in the same bed with him. The bed next to Yu Nuan was cold, clearly indicating that no one had slept there the night before.
Zhou Yu'an didn't wake Yu Nuan, and slowly moved away from the bed to get up.
After getting dressed and going out, Zhou's mother was already up. Seeing Zhou Yu'an, she asked, "Third son, why are you up so early? Where is your wife?"
"Not awake yet."
"Okay, she must have been tired last night, let her get some more sleep." Zhou's mother smiled happily at the thought of having a grandson or granddaughter soon. Then she said to Zhou Yu'an, "Don't go and wake your wife up either. It's not necessary for the new daughter-in-law to get up early to serve tea in our family."
"I understand, mother."
Zhou Yu'an went to the study, reviewed his lessons for a while, and felt that Yu Nuan should be waking up. He put down the book in his hand and returned to their bridal chamber.
