Qi Chong went to pick him up, bringing Shengnan along. "How is the wedding arranged?" Yu Chunmiao asked.
Qi Chong placed a slice of lotus root in Yu Chunmiao's bowl and replied, "The county town is too far. I discussed it with Wu Dayong; Hua Jiao Town will wait for her, and Yuan Er will go to pick her up. We just need to hurry before the deadline."
Yu Chunmiao raised an eyebrow, noting that Wu Dayong was quite easygoing.
That evening, Yu Chunmiao finally enjoyed a life where she didn't even have to step outside to take a hot bath. The low stove was right beside her; she could sit up slightly to heat water. With a simple reach, she could pull out the plug, letting the water flow down the drain.
The room was filled with steam as Yu Chunmiao closed her eyes, savoring a modern life experience she had yet to enjoy.
The door opened, and after a month apart, the man seemed somewhat impatient. "Aren't you done yet? Your skin is all wrinkled."
Yu Chunmiao merely waved her delicate arm dismissively. "Just a little longer; it feels too good to get out."
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and opened her eyes wide. "Honey, do you want to join me?"
Qi Chong understood the hidden meaning in her gaze; his phoenix eyes darkened with unspoken thoughts.
The bathtub was just big enough for two people to overlap. His strong arms rested on the edge of the tub, his back muscles rhythmically flexing.
Water splashed everywhere, but neither of them felt cold at all.
The sound of splashing water mingled with the soft sounds of their lips and tongues entwined as they lost themselves in each other.
The bathtub, the bed, the Eight Immortals Table, and Qi Chong's desk all bore the unique imprint of their union that night.
Morning came too soon; they had to rise early as dawn broke. Just as Yu Chunmiao lay down, she swatted away her husband's restless hand and scolded him playfully. "What are you thinking? I'm trying to sleep next to you."
Qi Chong pressed a satisfied kiss on her forehead.
The next day, Yu Chunmiao caught up on sleep against her husband's back on the donkey cart as it swayed toward the Lu Residence.
The County Academy had already been on break for three days, and Qi Rong had been waiting.
The Lu family was attending a banquet elsewhere; only Qi Rong was home.
Seeing his brother and sister-in-law, he excitedly jumped onto the donkey cart without greeting them first. "What’s our house like? What’s my room like?"
Qi Chong decided to teach his younger brother a lesson. "Nothing special; I bought you two hundred books that you need to copy before the New Year."
Qi Rong looked at Yu Chunmiao with tears in her eyes, understanding Qi Chong's meaning as she played along with his act.
"Yeah, I originally said I would buy three hundred copies, but since the New Year is approaching, I thought I'd let you off easy and bought a hundred less."
The excitement of going home had completely faded; he sat in the car, not wanting to talk at all.
Yu Chunmiao whispered, "Isn't that a bit harsh?"
Qi Chong chuckled briefly, "He'll be even happier when we get back."
In the front seat, Yu Chengwei was already thinking about how his sister had just given birth, and he would soon be free to run errands.
"By the way, I'm going to my house for a wedding banquet today. Xiao Wei, you haven't forgotten, right?" Yu Chunmiao invited him as soon as they met.
"I haven't forgotten. My brother-in-law's sister is coming to the shop later," Yu Chengwei replied. He had already tidied up and was wearing a new outfit.
On the counter lay a gift box; it seemed to be a present he intended to give.
The person replacing him arrived, and he jumped into the car, sitting beside Yu Chunmiao with Qi Chong on the other side.
"By the way, where are you going for your errands this time?" Qi Chong asked, also planning to travel far and hoping for some company.
Yu Chengwei replied, "Heading north to Huizhou Prefecture to bring back some local kiln-fired porcelain and silk from Yan Si for maritime trade."
Upon hearing "Yan Si," Qi Chong and Yu Chunmiao exchanged smiles.
"Perhaps soon you won't have to travel so far for Yan Si anymore," Yu Chun teased, leaving them in suspense.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Yu Chengwei leaned in to look at her, curious about her words.
Qi Chong cracked the whip and said, "I want to have everyone in the village plant Yan Ye; how much can you collect?"
Hearing this, Yu Chengwei clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Whatever you need, just go ahead and plant it! I'll have someone drive over there to pick it up directly."
