Yuan Wulang came over with a stiff upper lip, "Father, what are your orders?"
Don't blame him for being cowardly, he is still very handsome and majestic when he's normal, and has never been afraid of anyone.
When the two armies faced each other, Jian Yong, the first brave warrior of Lianyuan, didn't even put him in his eyes. He was a proud and unruly great man with an air of elegance and freedom.
It's just that every time he runs into General Town, he becomes dispirited, like a mouse encountering a cat, and his whole demeanor is off.
His fear of his father originated in childhood.
Because he grew up beside the old lady, his elder brothers and sisters all spoiled him terribly, as if they were afraid of dropping him from their hands or melting in their mouths. Whatever he wanted, they would give it to him.
He was indeed the big bully of the Town General's Mansion.
But in front of others, Yuan Wulang was arrogant and domineering, but in front of his father, Yuan Shitao, he always suffered setbacks.
It's strange to say that General Town is not strict with other sons, but only with the youngest Wulang, the requirements are particularly severe.
He thought the youngest son was spoiled, with a delicate temperament. When he wasn't at home, it was hard to control him, but as long as he was at home, he absolutely couldn't be indulged, otherwise this child would grow up to be a prodigal son and lose the dignity of the Yuan family men.
So he was especially strict with Wu Lang, and at the slightest disagreement, he would give him a good beating.
Beating, beating, this overbearing child was beaten into obedience, gradually, the times when he could be called out to fight also decreased, but the psychological shadow left on the child also solidified.
Even now, Yuan Wulang is twenty years old and still has a deep respect for General Town.
As soon as he saw his father stretch out a big hand, even if others just wanted to scratch an itch, he felt very pressured.
What he said to his father, of course, was even less dare to refute.
The General of the Nation pulled Yuan Wulang over and said, "Your wife is knowledgeable and reasonable, she's many times better than you. When she's not around, it doesn't matter, but when she is, remember to listen to her more often."
He paused, blew his mustache and said. "I've already told your wife that if you don't behave well, she'll have to teach our son a lesson on my behalf. If you dare to fight back, humph!"
Choi Yeong got the guarantee and was satisfied, so she went to clean up the dinner table and packed the things that her father-in-law had specified to take away.
The General of the Nation saw this and lowered his voice, saying, "My daughter-in-law is not very welcoming to you. Don't think I don't see it. Although I'm old, my eyes are still sharp. You must have made her suffer. She doesn't say anything on the surface, but she's still resentful of you in her heart!"
He pulled Yuan Wulang's ear over, "What can't be said between husband and wife? Quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot. How simple is this, do you still need your father to teach you?"
Yuan Wulang's face suddenly turned red, and he twisted and turned, saying "Father!"
But his eyes were shining with a faint light, and several beautiful scenes floated out in his mind, his heart beating uncontrollably faster.
He probably didn't think of making amends in this way before, Father is indeed a senior and must have a lot of experience. He provided him with such a valuable idea.
Want to... tonight... give it a try?
The General who Guards the Country still has a discerning eye, seeing his son's appearance, he knows that he has been moved in his heart.
He coughed and whispered, "Don't say you don't know. Your grandmother arranged for you to get married before she passed away, now your wife has come from afar, you must seize the opportunity, do you understand?"
After seeing his father off, Yuan Wulang's mind was somewhat dazed.
Anyway, with the nine kings in the Lǐng Yǐn Fǔ, he simply did nothing and really listened to the words of the Zhèn Guó Jiàng Jūn, following behind Cuī Yuè, not taking a single step back.
Cui Ying looked annoyed but also had no way out.
Although the Yuan family doesn't pay much attention to rules and regulations, as long as things are comfortable, they're fine, but it's not like that outside.
In the value system of Song Dynasty, wives should respect their husbands as superior.
Yuan Wulang is her husband. According to reason, even if there was a misunderstanding between them before, the one who should compromise and give in should be her as the wife.
Otherwise, it would be against the moral code of a patriarchal society!
So now he just follows her wherever she goes and doesn't do anything to her. She really can't refuse him at all.
Cui Ling thought for a moment, and felt that it was also okay. Brother Yu followed General Zhen Guo out of the city, and even Shi Xiao Si was not around. In the entire Linyin Mansion, except for old Huang Tou, the cook in the Ju Ying Hall, she didn't have anyone familiar to talk to.
Ke Jiaoying Tang is the place where Ji Wangye handles affairs, and she can't stay there all the time.
Besides, everyone in this mansion has their own post and is busy with their own duties. Even if it's Old Huang, he doesn't have the leisure to idle around and chat with you, does he?
It's not easy for her to find her way back to Qinghuiyajingxiao Pavilion even if she relies solely on herself in an unfamiliar place.
So, Yuan Wulang loves to follow, then just follow him!
It dragged on like this until evening.
Cui Ying looked up at the darkening sky and couldn't help but urge, "Husband, I think it's getting late, you have a lot of work to do, there are still many things that haven't been taken care of, why not..."
She had previously secretly asked Huai Shu by Yuan Wulang's side and found out that he had been sleeping in the outer courtyard all along.
Since he has a fixed residence outside the court, it seems that he didn't necessarily have to squeeze in with her last night.
So tonight should still be quite safe, right?
It's not that Cui Rong resists something happening with Yuan Wulang, in fact, they are now husband and wife, something will happen sooner or later.
Moreover, the real Yuan Wulang is not a delicate and weak lady like Jiu Wang, but a handsome and majestic man, which makes her quite satisfied.
If he insisted on staying and asked her to fulfill her wifely duties, she thought, she wouldn't be entirely opposed.
However, unlike men, women are sensory animals.
In her heart, she still hopes that they won't rush into things, and wait until their feelings for each other have deepened a bit more, then some things will naturally fall into place.
Who said they were a match made in heaven, destined to be tied together for this lifetime, inseparable?
There is still a long way to go, why be in such a hurry?
But Yuan Wulang didn't think so.
After being recommended by General Town, he is now full of the adage "quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot".
Just thinking about calling Cui Ying up earlier, her soft limbs and beautiful figure, he felt his heart was going to jump out.
"He said without hesitation, 'I'll stay here and sleep.'"
This sentence is as clear as nail and iron, fully expressing how resolute his desire to sleep here is.
Yuan Wulang is now over twenty years old. In order to have a harmonious and happy marriage like his elder brother and sister-in-law, he has been keeping himself clean and cautious, not even daring to touch half of the female color.
Like his good friend Jiu Wangye, who grew up with him since childhood. At the age of twelve, he already had a house full of women.
Alright, let's just forget about Jiǔ Wáng Yé for now, his situation is special.
Let's just say his cousin Shi Xiujian, although he had never married and didn't often frequent brothels, still always had a few people in his household.
He alone is truly a refreshing breeze, guarding his body like jade.
A young man in his prime, if he says he has no ideals, must be deceiving people.
He grew up in the Yuan family environment since he was a child, and it's only natural that he would think this way. He feels that for his future happiness, it's not bad to be more reserved now, after all, he will eventually get married anyway. After getting married...
In the complex situation in the northwest, he had actually forgotten about this matter.
But during the day after being reminded by Father, that almost forgotten desire suddenly emerged again.
It grew like wild grass, spreading wildly and creeping like a vine, finally turning into a raging fire that burned in his body.
Yuan Wulang thought that he was already married, Cui Ying was his wife, and as a couple they should sleep in the same bed.
The situation on their wedding night was special, they didn't have a bridal chamber, so now making up for it is not too late.
Thinking so, he strengthened his tone and said firmly, "Yes, I'll sleep right here."
Cui Ling opened her mouth, but in the end she still couldn't say the words of refusal.
They were a legitimate couple, and on their wedding night he let her off lightly, yet she still felt grateful. Now if they were to push three and block four again, not only would they provoke Yuan Wulang, but also add frost to the already strained relationship between them.
After all, it's someone you'll be spending your whole life with, so being angry all the time isn't good either.
Besides, she knew this was an unavoidable pass and didn't want to shirk it anymore, or else she would be pretending.
Thus, they each washed up and then lay down together side by side.
The red candle went out, the silk curtain was closed, and the room was pitch black.
Because of the quiet, even the sound of breathing was exceptionally clear, just like now, Cui Ying was far away, but she could still hear Yuan Wulang's heartbeat and increasingly heavy nasal breathing.
To be honest, she doesn't really dislike it.
Earlier, in the desolate mountain cave outside the city, she had actually been moved a little, but at that time, constrained by her being a married woman, she adhered to the norms of ethics and professional morality, as well as her own small dreams of muddling along, so she turned that spark of emotion into ripples on the surface of her heart, just letting out a faint bubble before it disappeared.
But fate often plays jokes on people.
She thought it was an impossible love that had turned a corner and found a new answer. The man who made her heart skip a beat was actually her husband!
Although she still had a bellyful of resentment, yet in her heart there was a small thrill of pleasure.
Well, although filling in the hole now is still a bit too fast for her, if he insists on it, why should she be so particular about it?
Cui Ying thought so, and then closed her eyes, lying still without moving.
In this kind of thing, it's still more suitable for men to take the initiative, she just needs to silently endure.
Yuan Wulang smelled the fragrance on his wife's body, and his heart was stirred. The desire in his body seemed to be ready to erupt.
But how can I start naturally without hurting her?
A book is useless if it's not read at the right time.
Yuan Wulang now has some regrets, the Spring Palace Diagram that Shi Xiaosi secretly obtained at first, he should have studied it carefully, but at that time he refused with righteous words.
At first he refused and was even proud of his strong willpower.
But now, I regret it to death.
After all... after all, what should I do?
It's okay, even if it's an unexperienced man in human affairs, he also has a natural instinct for this aspect.
Yuan Wulang quietly moved his body closer to Cui Ying, cleared his throat, and then stealthily reached out with his hand, coincidentally touching her delicate and slender collarbone.
The fingers transmit the temperature, and the palm feels warm and soft, like a beautiful jade that has been aged for years, smooth and tender, very comfortable to touch.
He saw Cui Ying and did not refuse, nor did he resist. He remained motionless, allowing his fingers to gently stroke her collarbone, which made him even more excited. He felt that this was a hint for him to continue.
ps:
The third watch has arrived, I've done my best, waaah!
