Chapter 229 Ancient World 46: After Marriage

Early the next morning, Zuo Zhizhi combed the woman's hair. Although the high hairline looked a bit awkward, it was indeed good when you looked closely.

After serving tea to the parents-in-law, the painful process of setting rules began!

This isn't just the parents-in-law torturing me. Although it's no different from torture for me, it's definitely not their intention!

He Zhiyan got married last year, so she had already told Zuo Zhizhi about this matter.

My mother-in-law only has these two sons and doesn't have high demands, so she is very kind.

Apart from setting the rules in the first few days, there are not many requirements left.

Zuo Zhizhi could only comfort herself that luckily they had planned to separate in advance, otherwise it would have been terrible by now!

On the third day after her marriage, Zuo Zhizhi returned to her parents' home accompanied by Gao Xingyun.

While taking a break, I took the opportunity to retrieve the camera I had installed in advance.

It’s not that I’m lazy, but I really didn’t have time in the past few days.

There was someone lying next to her at night. If she didn't drug him, Zuo Zhizhi would not feel at ease to enter the space and leave secretly.

He followed He Zhiyan all day long, and sometimes even had dinner with his mother-in-law. He had no time to rest at all.

Now that I have finally been able to go back to my parents' home, I have finally found an opportunity.

After carefully counting and finding that no camera was missing, Zuo Zhizhi felt relieved.

Although the camera is not too precious, the things inside are priceless. After all, it is a record of one's wedding.

Although my figure hardly appeared in the entire shot, it was already very good to have the wedding process.

After staying at home for a short while and taking a simple rest, he was forced to return to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyi again.

Zuo Zhizhi was not used to it. After all, during her marriage, she often had to set rules. Although her mother-in-law was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others, even so, she could no longer handle it.

Zuo Zhizhi could only keep comforting herself, thinking that everything would be fine in a few days. When the imperial examination was over, the family would be able to separate smoothly and she would not have to suffer anymore.

At this time, every time she saw He Zhiyan, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had decided to marry the second son, otherwise she would never be able to get rid of him in her life.

Like He Zhiyan, who was also a lovely girl before she got married, now she is busy with her mother-in-law every day and has no time to do her own things.

Even though her sister-in-law was by her side, her attitude towards the two of them was still different.

After all, Zuo Zhizhi and her husband would be separated sooner or later. She already felt sorry for her second son, so it was impossible for her to make things too difficult for him.

Although it cannot be said that she is making things difficult for the eldest son's wife, she is supposed to be in charge of all the affairs in the marquis's mansion, so naturally she cannot be too lax.

Fortunately, these days only lasted for a few months and everything stopped.

The reason is simple, He Zhiyan is pregnant.

Although we don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl yet, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, they are the eldest son or daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion, and are definitely of extraordinary significance.

Originally they were the eldest and second young masters, but since He Zhiyan became pregnant, the two young masters of the Marquis' Mansion have been promoted to the eldest and second young masters.

He Zhiyan and Zuo Zhizhi were also promoted to the positions of Grandmother and Second Grandmother.

Of course, their official titles outside were still the First Madam and the Second Madam, otherwise Zuo Zhizhi would feel uncomfortable just by hearing the names.

I always feel like I have traveled to the world of the Red Mansion without knowing when, and I am still the unlucky second wife who is about to die.

I gave He Zhiyan the gift I had prepared in advance. Seeing her lying on the bed with a happy face, I couldn't help but feel happy for her.

After all, she got married more than a year in advance and is now finally pregnant.

Although there weren't many people in the house urging her, her mother kept urging her, which made her very uneasy.

Now that I'm pregnant, I can put other things aside for the time being.

Zuo Zhizhi was determined to stick with the contraception policy. If nothing else, she would at least wait a few years.

You know, in order to avoid the emperor's death at this time, Zuo Zhizhi got married at the age of 16, which is still a minor nowadays!

As for the children, it doesn’t matter if you wait a few more years!

Of course, she would not tell this to anyone else, especially in front of He Zhiyan, she kept praising him, just hoping that she would be in a better mood during her pregnancy.

Thanks to He Zhiyan, Zuo Zhizhi no longer needs to set rules. On the one hand, her eldest son's wife is feeling uncomfortable during her pregnancy, so she naturally needs someone caring to take care of her.

Zuo Zhizhi was her good friend, and they were sisters-in-law, so naturally they talked together often.

On the other hand, this year's autumn examination is approaching, and the most important thing for the whole family is Gao Xingyun's imperial examination.

Although he himself did not have great ambitions, the exam was necessary and therefore had to be treated with caution.

Zuo Zhizhi could also relax for a few days. Besides watching Gao Xingyun study every day, she would occasionally send him some soup, which she considered as showing her appreciation.

The rest of the time I talked and chatted with He Zhiyan, and finally I had some free time.

Zuo Zhizhi was bored at home. She used to get up early every day, but now she is not used to it.

Perhaps to reassure her, or perhaps because she was the only one in the family who was idle, her in-laws actually called her and Gao Xingyun over.

"Ayun has no intention of pursuing a righteous career. Staying in this mansion every day is very restrictive and inconvenient! We previously agreed to officially separate after the Autumn Examination. Now that the time is almost here, we will distribute the things to you in advance."

Zuo Zhizhi and Gao Xingyun looked at each other. Although Zuo Zhizhi was very tempted, it was naturally impossible for her to bring up this matter in person. However, she did not expect her mother-in-law to bring it up at this time.

Just as Gao Xingyun was about to refuse, he heard Marquis Zhongyi say sternly, "You've already started a family and established a career, so you'll have to start managing your own household. Although living in the Marquis' Mansion has many advantages, it's still inconvenient!"

"Besides, if you have no interest in a career in politics, moving out early will only benefit you!"

Gao Xingyun thought about it and agreed. After all, he and Zuo Zhizhi had already discussed this matter a long time ago. Both of them had no objections to it and even accepted it very happily.

For ordinary people, moving out of the Marquis's Mansion on their own is tantamount to being kicked out.

Especially those who just want to live a life of idleness and wait for death, they would like to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of their lives so that the Marquis' Mansion can be responsible for all their major matters such as birth, aging, sickness and death!

After all, I live and eat in the marquis's mansion, so I don't have to worry about anything and I can still get a monthly salary.

Even if you are sick or spend money while going out, it can be recorded on the account of the Marquis' Mansion.

But things are not simply calculated in this way. Even if I can use the things in the Marquis' Mansion, how much can I get in a year?

On the other hand, if you divide the family in advance at this time, you can not only be the head of the family, but also get a sum of money.
