When the weather is cold, drops of water turn into ice.
Zheng Wuji read for most of the day, pressed his temples, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of the cold tea.
Xiao Shun ran away somewhere and forgot to make tea for him.
This is not entirely Xiao Shun's fault. Zheng Wuji is studying hard now, and he doesn't yell at him to wait on him.
Today is getting shorter and shorter, and even though his study room faces south and north, it becomes dark after noon, making it difficult to read any more.
Zheng Wuji looked at the paper window and sighed, wondering what the Taoist book said: A young person learns like the beginning of the day, and a strong person learns like the middle of the day.
I was already in my twenties when I started studying. It was as if the sun had already reached its zenith and it was getting darker as it went away.
He was lost in thought when little Shun came in from the outside.
With a smile on his face, he said to Zheng Wuji: "Uncle, grandma is back."
When Zheng Wuji heard this, he immediately put aside all the worries in his heart.
Now that he has a wife and everything is in order, he feels that marrying Xu Chunjun is the most honorable thing in his life.
Xu Chunjun was invited to visit his aunt's house. He got up early and left, and didn't come back until most of the day.
Zheng Wuji felt helpless without seeing her for a moment. When he heard that she was back, he immediately got up and ran to the room.
When they entered the room, they saw that Xu Chunjun had taken off his outer clothes and was drinking a bowl of hot tea.
Zheng Wuji noticed carefully that she didn't look well.
He hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xu Chunjun put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Nothing's wrong, I seem to be catching a cold."
Zheng Wuji stepped forward and shook her hand. It was indeed a little cold, so he asked, "Why don't you have a hand stove?"
At this time, Ah Po came in and poured some soup from outside. She put it on the bed and said, "Grandma, lie down and have a rest! The more heat it makes, the pain will be less."
Now that Ziling and Lvchun are married, Xu Chunjun doesn't take them with him much when he goes out.
Let them stay at home to take care of things. Today, Ah Li and Ah Li are the ones who went out to take care of things.
"Where do you feel pain?" Zheng Wuji asked hurriedly after hearing this.
Xu Chunjun blushed and whispered: "It's okay, don't worry."
Zheng Wuji was someone who had been here before, so he immediately knew what was going on.
So he said: "Did you catch a cold at your aunt's house? It's strange that it's not cold when you're enjoying plum blossoms outside on a day like this. From now on, you'll just rest at home and don't go out no matter who tells you."
"How can it happen?" Xu Chunjun shook his head, "My aunt told me a few days in advance that she invited a lot of people and asked me to accompany her. This is also helping us, how can you be so willful?"
When the Zheng family does business, they have to make a lot of friends. Mrs. Lu held a banquet at her home and asked Xu Chunjun to go there in order to create connections for her.
Xu Chunjun is not that ignorant. Although there are maids serving her, most of the ladies here are elders, so she, a junior, will naturally have to do a lot of things.
Because she was out admiring flowers, she had to stand in the ice and snow. It happened to be her childhood and she caught a cold. After a long time, she would inevitably feel soreness in her waist and abdomen, and her knees would become weak.
At least she managed to finish the work and send everyone away before she left.
"No matter how big the business is, your health is more important." Zheng Wuji didn't want Xu Chunjun to work so hard. "Remember, you have to take care of yourself first. How can money be more important than you?"
"I know, I'll be careful next time." Xu Chunjun agreed with a smile.
"Come on, I don't know you? You've always been kind to me." Zheng Wuji said, "Let them bring water to scald your feet."
He took off Xu Chunjun's shoes and touched her feet. The soles of her feet were cold.
"The soles of your feet are getting cold. How long have you been standing outside?"
"It's also because of my health. I actually wear quite thick clothes." Xu Chunjun explained.
"Let me tell you, women's diseases are all caused by qi and blood. I asked Mr. Wu for medical advice two days ago, and he asked me to tell you not to worry, let alone be angry." Zheng Wuji not only pulled Mr. Wu with him at every turn.
He practiced boxing and even asked him for some medical advice from time to time.
"Officials now have a wide range of scholars, and they are becoming more and more knowledgeable." Xu Chunjun covered his mouth and said with a smile.
"Don't laugh at me. Let's soak your feet first. After soaking, go to bed and lie down." Zheng Wuji saw that Xu Chunjun's face was a little pale and wanted her to have a good rest.
"By the way, there is no suitable marriage for the eldest sister yet." Xu Chunjun has always wanted to find a suitable marriage for Zheng Yuelang. After all, she is still young and cannot live alone like this for the rest of her life. "Looking at it, another year has passed.
"
"I just told you to worry less. At this time, I'm most worried about overthinking. Why didn't you listen?" Zheng Wuji taught her, "You don't have to worry about this. I'm interested in someone. I'll bring it back another day for you to see."
"Who is it?" Xu Chunjun was very curious after hearing this, "Tell me about it."
"Don't tell her now," Zheng Wuji didn't tell her, "I'll hold you and tell you later."
The aunt called Xu Chunjun over for a long time. Zheng Wuji felt unhappy because after all, she was his wife.
He would be close to Xu Chunjun for a while every day, and now that he hadn't seen her for most of the day, he naturally wanted to.
Xu Chunjun finished washing his feet and lay down. Zheng Wuji took off his coat and went to bed.
Asked Xu Chunjun: "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"A little bit." Xu Chunjun said.
"Then I'll rub it for you." Zheng Wuji said, rubbing his hands together to warm them up, and then gently and forcefully massaged Xu Chunjun's lower abdomen through her shirt.
"Guanren, you haven't told me who the person you are interested in is." Xu Chunjun asked.
"It's a person I met in the Cen family school. His name is Li Kaiyan." In addition to studying with Mr. Wu, Zheng Wuji often went to the schools of the Chen family and the Cen family to listen to lectures.
Because they have a good relationship with both families.
There was a student in the Cen Family Academy who was auditing. Although his qualifications were not very outstanding, he worked hard, had a good character, and spoke kindly.
Zheng Wuji had dealt with him several times and thought he was a good person.
"Where is he? Is he in the capital?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"He came from Dongdu. The reason why he was able to attend the Cen Family Academy was because he took the initiative to come to Master Cen and said that there was a man in Dongdu who looked like the lost Cen Yunchu.
You remember that the Cen family offered a lot of reward money at that time, but he said he wanted no money and just wanted to help. Mr. Cen felt that he was a very loyal and sincere person, and besides, he came to the capital to study, so he asked him to
I went to my private school to study."
"So, he's a really good character. I wonder who is in his family?" Xu Chunjun felt that since the couple wanted to find a good home for Zheng Yuelang, they had to take care of everything in detail and not be careless in the slightest.
"He has no parents again. He grew up with his uncle and aunt. His family is well-off and not a wealthy family." Zheng Wuji said.
"My eldest sister is kind and timid. We don't have to pay too much attention to family status. The person we marry first must be worthy of our trust. In addition, we should not be burdened by anger when we marry. That's fine," Xu Chunjun said.
After all, they are divorced. If you blindly look for someone who is a good match, you can only find a second marriage.
It would be better to have a lower family background, no stepsons and stepdaughters, and live a small life of your own behind closed doors.
"Okay, you go get some sleep." Zheng Wuji said and kissed her forehead, "I'll pat you."
