Chapter 62
Su Jin finally failed to kiss Xiao Zhen because Xiao Zhen escaped in the face of battle.
Looking at Xiao Zhen's back as he quickly fled, Su Jin stomped his feet in annoyance. However, although Xiao Zhen ran away, Su Jin still noticed Xiao Zhen's changes. This guy was like a piece of ice that had been frozen for 30 years, and finally he was about to slowly warm up.
On the way back to the backyard, Su Jin tried to analyze the reasons for Xiao Zhen's transformation. After thinking about it, Su Jin only found two possibilities. First, she said bluntly that Xiao Zhen was her man, and Xiao Zhen must be very fond of listening to him. Second, Su Jin chose to respect his obsession when he could sleep with him in the same bed, and would rather cover his clothes. Xiao Zhen woke up and felt guilty when he saw him?
If it is the former, it means that Xiao Zhen likes to hear her say sweet words, don’t look at him as stupid as he is.
If it is the latter, it means that Xiao Zhen’s guilt towards her can offset some of his brotherly relationship with Feng Shi, so he began to treat her well?
Su Jin couldn't determine which reason was, but it didn't matter. She was afraid that she would not be able to cure Xiao Zhen?
With hope, Su Jin dressed more seriously in the morning, changed into a bright red makeup bag, and then sat in front of the dressing table to dress up. Su Jin had a good foundation and her face was white and tender. If you apply a layer of anti-drying facial fat, you won’t have to apply powder anymore. The pink and white ones are not as beautiful as natural and natural.
The eyebrows were drawn thinly and then applied with a light layer of lip fat. The woman in the mirror suddenly became as beautiful as a crabapple.
"Mom, have you gotten up?"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Aman got up early to greet his mother.
Su Jin picked up the New Year's money for the children and went out to take a look. Archer was there too.
"My mother's New Year is good, everything goes well!" The brother and sister bowed in unison.
Su Jin squatted down and kissed each other. Aman smiled and Archer blushed.
Su Jin gave each of the brother and sister a gold ingot of one or two taels.
Aman collected the New Year's money and ignored his mother. He immediately pulled his brother to the front yard to wish his father a New Year's greetings.
Su Jin shook her head helplessly. She was greedy for money because she was poor when she was a child. Her daughter has never lived a hard life since she was born. Why do she love money so much?
Gold is festive, and Xiao Zhen also prepared gold for the children, but it was Archer and Aman's zodiac signs of the golden elephants.
"Dad is so beautiful!" Aman hugged the little golden pig given by his stepfather, and said heartlessly.
Su Jin happened to step into the door, laughed at the words, and teased her daughter: "Since the good-looking thing my father gave me, I'll take it first, and I'll save it for you."
Aman foolishly took out the gold ingot given by his mother and handed it to her.
Su Jin smiled and bent his eyes.
Aman looked at his mother and suddenly reminded him: "Mom, put this together with the red envelope given by his father."
Su Jin was stunned and asked in confusion: "The red envelope given by Dad?"
Aman nodded seriously: "Mom said that Dad can only call him Daddy if he gives a red envelope."
Su Jin finally understood. It turned out that the little girl still remembered the change fee Xiao Zhen gave to Aman last time! That was a hundred taels of silver bill, and the two children's totaled 200 taels. Su Jin never thought of returning it to the children!
Su Jin looked at Archer.
Archer looked like "Mom, you are a casual flower", only Aman looked at her with big eyes and watery eyes, waiting for her mother's answer.
Su Jin had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll keep it for you."
If you keep it, you should keep it. A daughter is smarter than a stupid person. At least in terms of money, Su Jin doesn’t have to worry about her daughter being plotted against when she grows up.
After dealing with his daughter, Su Jin deliberately bowed to Xiao Zhenying, who was sitting in the main seat: "The Marquis is in good shape in the New Year and everything goes well."
The little woman was slim, bent over and started to walk, and looked at him playfully with beautiful eyes, making her a little fairy.
Xiao Zhen had no choice but to get up and give a gift seriously: "Madam is the same as you."
Archer knew that his mother and stepfather were pretending couples, but Aman didn't know that, and stood among the two adults and watched the adults salute curiously.
Firecrackers were set off before the meal. Xiao Zhen took Archer to light firecrackers. Su Jin stood in the distance with his daughter and watched. Aman covered his ears with both hands. He was afraid of firecrackers but insisted on looking up. After Xiao Zhen lit a firecracker and was about to get up, a little girl came from behind him anxiously: "Dad, run away!"
Xiao Zhen retreated calmly and turned around. The first thing he saw was Su Jin who was smiling softly at him in red.
Xiao Zhen's heart suddenly became warm.
After setting off firecrackers, the family of four gathered together to have breakfast. The chef brought steaming dumplings up.
Xiao Zhen swallowed quietly. When he was a child, his family was poor and could only eat dumplings during festivals. The noodles at home were not so white, and the meat in the filling was pitiful, almost all of them were cabbage. But such dumplings were the most delicious food in the world in Xiao Zhen’s heart. Later, when he became an official and became rich, Xiao Zhen’s favorite food was still dumplings.
"I know that the Marquis loves to eat dumplings. I made it specially yesterday. How does the Marquis taste it?" Su Jin put the vinegar plate in front of him and said with a smile.
Xiao Zhen lowered his head. The dumplings in the white porcelain bowl were delicate and small. The patterns made of the dumpling skin were like flowers. Everyone was beautiful, and the dumplings they pinched were also beautiful.
But by some reason, facing such a bowl of dumplings, Su Jin's feet appeared in Xiao Zhen's mind, white and clean, with bright elixirs coated with nails. His throat rolled, and Xiao Zhen absentmindedly picked up a dumpling.
"Is it delicious?" Su Jin asked expectantly.
Xiao Zhen quickly swallowed the dumplings and lowered his eyes and said, "It's delicious, thank you brother and sister."
Su Jin was looking at him, and Archer unexpectedly glanced at Xiao Zhen when he heard the old name of "legist and sister-in-law".
Xiao Zhen reacted and his whole body was stiff. He wanted to see if Su Jin noticed his slip of the tongue, but he didn't dare to look at it.
"Eat slowly, put copper coins in the dumplings, be careful to break your teeth." Su Jin took care of his daughter as if nothing had happened.
Aman slowed down obediently.
Xiao Zhen gave him a breath, hoping that Su Jin would not hear the "brother and sister-in-law" and would never remember it again.
He started visiting relatives and friends only in the second year of junior high school. All the families and the states were relatively leisurely in the first year of junior high school. Xiao Zhen took Archer to the martial arts training ground to find out whether Archer's martial arts have improved recently. Aman also followed him.
It was sunny today. Su Jin sat in the yard to bask in the sun. Agui went to the street for a walk. After coming back, he said to Su Jin: "Madam, don't worry, the uncle's family has moved out. I also let them go out. The second girl's reputation in Jinling is completely bad. I think that family will never have the face to come to Jinling to make trouble again."
Su Jin nodded. Although the matter was wrong with her plan, Xiao Zhen was frightened and threatened by this indirect attack. Pan was so scared that she didn't dare to anger Xiao Zhen anymore. Sometimes, fists were more effective than words.
During dinner, Xiao Zhen remembered something and said to Su Jin: "When you and I got married, the court officials were on vacation, and all the affairs in the palace were postponed until after the Lantern Festival. I have already prepared a memorial to you to be granted the honorary wife, and I will hand it over on the 16th."
Su Jin even forgot about this and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the marquis will hand in the letter later, so as not to say that you are only thinking about asking for an imperial edict for your wife after a New Year."
Xiao Zhen was stupid and didn't know how to answer.
Su Jin smiled and picked up a piece of roast chicken for him.
It was dark and I was going to sleep again. Ruyi, Chuntao brought two basins of hot foot washing water.
Xiao Zhen felt a thorn in his heart. It depends on whether he could fool the misunderstanding in the day.
Just when Xiao Zhen was about to take off his boots in front of Su Jin for the first time, Su Jin suddenly said to the two maids: "You guys go down first."
Xiao Zhenxin shivered suddenly.
Ruyi, Chuntao quietly retreated out.
Su Jin sat beside the bed, the man next to her squinted eyes, clenched her fingers and said quietly: "Do you still remember the bet between us?"
Xiao Zhen:...
Su Jin pursed her lips and said, "Marty Bai Ri called me brother and sister, and Archer seemed to be suspicious."
She and Xiao Zhen pretended to get married. Su Jin confessed to her son, but Xiao Zhen was not aware of the confession.
Xiao Zhen was still silent, and sweat came out of his forehead.
Su Jin's head lowered and turned his head and said, "I don't want to make things difficult for the marquis to do what the servants should do. But if this is not the case, the marquis can't remember the lesson. Archer was suspicious and said, if the marquis also called the wrong person outside one day, others suspected that our marriage was light, but I was afraid that someone would misunderstand the marquis, misunderstand what special habits the marquis had, and deliberately called my brother and sister after marriage..."
The more the little woman spoke, the more she became, the more vague the voice was. She was buzzing, but every word was heard into Xiao Zhen's ears, shy and a little resentful.
It's all the same thing. You promised to wash my feet if you shouted wrong. Do you want to cheat?
Xiao Zhen just wanted to cheat, but when she came to collect the debt, Xiao Zhen couldn't do anything cheating.
Moreover, according to Su Jin's intention, she thought that the reason why he cheated was that he didn't want to do a servant's job? How could it be? If Huo Weizhang asked Xiao Zhen to wash his feet, Xiao Zhen would definitely treat it as an insult. Even if he was willing to accept the bet, it would be a disgusting bet, but if it was Su Jin, it would be a pair of white and clean feet...
Xiao Zhen felt a little hot.
"Since the Marquis really doesn't want to, then forget it..."
Before Su Jin finished his words to get, Xiao Zhen suddenly stood up and squatted in front of Su Jin in a blink of an eye. He closed his eyes and said, "A gentleman is a word, even if I, Xiao Zhen, cannot be considered a gentleman, I, will never go back on my word. Brother... You don't have to care. I, Xiao Zhen, are a rough man, and washing my feet for others is nothing to me."
After hearing this, Su Jin held back and said, "Then, there will be a blessing in disguise."
After saying that, Su Jin took off his embroidered shoes, rolled up his loose gauze pants legs, and put his feet into the basin.
When Xiao Zhen heard the sound, he rolled up his sleeves and stretched his big hand into the basin, and happened to meet Su Jin.
Su Jin shyly retracted her feet.
Sweat dripped from Xiao Zhen's forehead and was at a loss. Then, just as he was about to apologize for Tang Kuang, there seemed to be a pair of small fish in the basin, and swam back to his wide palm shyly. Finally, it fell steadily and gently placed it on his hand.
Xiao Zhen took a deep breath, chanting Amitabha Buddha, while washing her feet like rubbing her clothes, just looking for a quick battle.
Su Jin was dissatisfied and whispered to him: "Mr. Marquis is so excited. My feet are not bamboo shoots. You are almost rubbing them down."
