Chapter 401: The Playboy from a Noble Family and the Daughter of a Married Woman (24)
The autumn wind blows suddenly, bringing a deep chill.
The mottled leaves of the flowers and trees hung sparsely on it, and before they could fall off the branches and wither, they were knocked down and neatly arranged by the servants.
Ruan Guannan is now five months pregnant. After being cooped up in the mansion for so long, she finds everything a bit boring.
Wei Jingzhou was thinking hard, and suddenly remembered that the maple leaves in Kaifu Temple were as red as fire.
In order to make her feel at ease, he planned to take Ruan Guannan to visit Kaifu Temple.
Seeing a smile on her face, Wei Jingzhou felt that this idea was right.
After preparing everything neatly, the two took a carriage to Kaifu Temple.
Before reaching the destination, from afar, the maple forest halfway up the mountain was already dazzling red, firmly attracting Ruan Guannan's attention.
Wei Jingzhou warmed a cup of tea for her, his eyes and eyebrows showing wantonness and relaxation.
"Later, let's go to Kaifu Temple to pray for peace and good fortune, and then go for a walk in the maple forest, okay?"
Ruan Guannan certainly had no objection.
Kaifu Temple is located on Xiangshan Mountain not far from the capital. It is said to be particularly magical in terms of marriage and offspring, and is very popular among the powerful people in the capital.
When they arrived at the place, Wei Jingzhou got off the carriage first.
Then he turned around and carefully held Ruan Guannan's hand, supporting her as she walked down the stairs.
Now that she is five months pregnant, Ruan Guannan's belly is only slightly bulging.
If Wei Jingzhou hadn't touched her every night, he wouldn't have noticed any changes after she put on her clothes.
Seeing that there were many people in the temple today, Wei Jingzhou secretly regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the servants in the mansion to check and come again on a day with fewer people.
But now that we're here, there's no way to go back.
He could only be vigilant, following her closely and fending off the crowd that was rushing towards him without any defense.
After a busy period, the two prayed for peace and blessings.
Wei Jingzhou took her to a place in the temple mysteriously.
Looking at the towering trees leaning against each other and covered with red silk wooden signs in front of me, it is easy to guess what this place is for.
Ruan Guannan turned his head to look at the people around him, his tone was teasing,
"I didn't expect that my husband, who was fearless that day, actually believed these things?"
Wei Jingzhou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. He looked away at the sky and the ground, appearing to be very busy.
"I've also heard about it from Zhou Cheng and the others. Now that we're here, it's a good omen whether you believe it or not."
Wei Jingzhou added silently in his heart: Even without these, they will last a long time.
He has now completely forgotten the disdainful look on Zhou Cheng's face when he first heard him talk about it.
Ever since he had a mutual understanding with the person next to him, Wei Jingzhou never tires of anything that symbolizes marriage.
The two bought two red wooden plaques, avoided other lovers who were making wishes, and began to write down their wishes.
After finishing writing, the two looked at each other with unspeakable shyness on their faces.
Looking down, I saw the words written on the wooden plaque of Ruan Guannan: Year after year, we will never let each other down.
The handwriting on Wei Jingzhou's piece was vigorous and powerful, reading: Morning and night, I will be with you until we are old.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Wei Jingzhou whispered: "Qingqing..."
Ruan Guannan's face flushed and he turned his head away shyly.
Her bright and beautiful face, set against the backdrop of the red silk trees, looks even more stunning and dazzling.
Wei Jingzhou could only see the figure of the person in front of him and could not see anything else.
The two of them strung the wooden sign together with a red rope. Wei Jingzhou held it in his hand and rubbed it for a while, feeling very reluctant to let it go.
But in order to make the meaning perfect, he still threw the two people's wooden signs high up with all his strength, and they hung safely on the treetops high up.
As they swayed, the two people's wooden signs stuck tightly together, swaying in the wind.
Wei Jingzhou clapped his hands in satisfaction, reached out and held Ruan Guannan's hand, and the two of them went towards the maple forest halfway up the mountain.
When everyone here had left, the wooden sign that was originally hanging safely on the branch was suddenly knocked down by something and fell into someone's hands.
He lowered his head and looked at the elegant handwriting on one of the wooden signs. The scenery that he had just inadvertently seen flashed through his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
When he glanced at the other side, the smile on his lips fell again, and his eyes looked meaningful.
Then he exerted a little force, and the red rope that was originally tied tightly together broke in the middle, and the wooden sign with the words "Grow Old with You" was casually thrown back onto the tree.
The other half of it was put into the sleeve of someone with evil intentions, leaving it alone on the branch, drifting in the wind.
*
In the red maple forest halfway up the mountain, Wei Jingzhou was walking with Ruan Guannan.
The maple leaves around him were dazzling red, and Wei Jingzhou seemed to have returned to the scene of his wedding.
He turned his head to look at the person beside him, and saw that her eyes were fixed on the beautiful scenery around them. There was a smile in his eyes that was so soft that it was sickening.
The only regret is that I didn’t see what she looked like under the red veil with my own eyes.
Thinking of what he had done before, Wei Jingzhou felt very regretful.
Just as he was distracted, a loud and noisy voice broke the warm and beautiful atmosphere between the two of them.
Wei Jingzhou's face suddenly turned dark, and he wished he could pick up the people around him and leave.
Before he could make any move, his group of cronies rushed over to block his way and started to ridicule him.
But when they saw the appearance of the person next to him, the ridicule that they had not yet spoken was suddenly stuck in their throats.
They were so frustrated that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
Zhou Cheng had seen Ruan Guannan's appearance from afar before, so he was not as out of control as the others, but he was just trying hard to maintain his composure.
Now looking closely at him, he is truly a god-like figure.
Seeing them staring at his wife in a daze, Wei Jingzhou's face became darker and his eyes were filled with strong warnings.
Zhou Cheng and his companions looked a little embarrassed, but they still bowed to Ruan Guannan.
"I guess this is my sister-in-law?"
Without waiting for Ruan Guannan to nod, the group continued:
"No wonder Brother Jingzhou seemed like a different person after getting married. It turns out that he married such a divine figure like my sister-in-law."
They talked to themselves and had no intention of letting Ruan Guannan answer. They talked so fast that it was difficult to interrupt them.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that Brother Jingzhou is now controlled by his wife... He is well-known for loving his wife. It is said that Sister-in-law has a good way of controlling her husband and made Jingzhou settle down."
One of them was quick-witted and blurted out all the rumors in the capital, almost revealing Wei Jingzhou's new name.
The two parties looked at each other.
One of them stayed in the backyard to take care of her pregnancy, and the other stayed with her to take care of her pregnancy and also rarely went out. I was very unfamiliar with the words they spoke.
Of course, those who were gossiping outside would not bring it to the master, and the servants in the mansion knew Wei Jingzhou's character very well, so it was even more impossible for them to reveal it on their own initiative.
As a result, the two of them only knew about this rumor until now.
Wei Jingzhou's whole body was tense, his face was still dark and unchanged, but he couldn't stop wailing in his heart.
Don't think that the guy didn't know what he wanted to say was "henpecked" just because he didn't finish speaking!
How could Wei Jingzhou, a man of integrity and integrity, be dominated by his wife?
Rumors ruin me!
Ruan Guannan felt a little amused when he saw his tense face.
Then he rolled his eyes and said considerately:
"My dear, there are tea and snacks in the carriage that I prepared for you. I prepared them specially in case you are hungry or thirsty. Please wait here and I will go get them for you."
After saying this, Ruan Guannan turned around and left without waiting for Wei Jingzhou to stop him.
Amid the envious gazes of the crowd, Wei Jingzhou straightened his body and coughed lightly, as if he was used to it.
"I told you not to, but you insisted on taking care of me. It's so annoying..."
The eyes of all the young men turned green with envy.
Obviously, they were both unpopular playboys, so how could Wei Jingzhou marry such a beautiful and virtuous wife?
God is unfair, so unfair!
When Ruan Guannan came over, Lingshu and Bailu quickly chose a place with good terrain and spread out the mat.
A group of people sat on the ground and talked about everything.
Ruan Guannan considerately unfolded the cloak from his arms and put it on Wei Jingzhou.
After lacing him up, he tidied it up with his hands and said softly:
"It's a little chilly in the woods, please wear more clothes and be careful of the cold."
After these words were spoken, that group of people could no longer brag and instead felt choked.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Wei Jingzhou was full of unconcealable sourness.
Wei Jingzhou straightened his back even more and nodded seriously.
In fact, under the cover of his sleeves, Wei Jingzhou's hands kept stroking her fingertips, with obvious intentions to please her.
……
Wei Jingzhou: It’s ok to show off outside, but it would be bad if you make your wife angry.
Hey, good night, babies~ (don’t forget to generate electricity for love)
