Chapter 32 My Husband is So Good
Pei Rujing and Zuo Mingxuan agreed to go to a hot spring together the next day, and then continued shopping.
One hour later
Wen Zongji waited until it was almost dark before Pei Rujing finally arrived.
At this time, Zuo Mingxuan had already returned to her residence.
Wen Zongji now had a profound understanding of women's shopping abilities.
The two returned to the carriage, and Pei Rujing brought up the matter of going to Meiyuan Hot Spring the next day.
Wen Zongji asked, "Are the county princess and Miss Zuo going together?"
Pei Rujing nodded: "The Zuo Hanyu I mentioned to you before is Zuo San's older brother. I promised her that we would go to Meiyuan Hot Springs tomorrow, and she is willing to tell me about her older brother and sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zongji understood that Pei Rujing was looking for An Qingyan to get revenge.
"Plum Garden is outside the city, and it's not safe for the two of you to stay together. After we return to the manor, I'll ask my father to send some guards to escort you there."
Pei Rujing was overjoyed: "Wen Zongji, you're so kind."
Wen Zongji raised an eyebrow: "Not calling me husband?"
His young wife was also quite unconventional; it's unlikely that any wife would address her husband by his given name.
Pei Rujing was in a good mood and said sweetly, "My husband is so good—"
Wen Zongji's lips curled into a smile: "Good boy!"
Pei Rujing spent the day out for some fresh air, and aside from An Qingyan's matter, she was in a good mood.
She was especially pleased that Wen Zongji didn't object to her going out of the city to Meiyuan Hot Springs the next day.
At the dinner table, Pei Rujing brought up the matter again.
Seeing her beaming with joy, the eldest princess raised an eyebrow and asked, "Was it that little girl from the Zuo family who suggested it?"
Pei Rujing nodded.
The eldest princess immediately guessed: "That girl is already of marriageable age, but she still only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun all day long. It's driving her mother crazy. She doesn't know what kind of husband to choose for her."
Zuo Mingxuan is a typical example of someone who uses all her intelligence on eating, drinking, and having fun.
After saying that, the eldest princess glanced at Pei Rujing and said with disdain, "You two are birds of a feather, no wonder you can get along so well."
Pei Rujing pouted, dissatisfied: "Mom, I'm much better than Zuo San."
The eldest princess scoffed, "It's fortunate that Zongji doesn't look down on you."
Pei Rujing turned to look at Wen Zongji, hoping he would speak up for her.
Wen Zongji coughed lightly: "The county princess is of pure heart, and I think that's quite good."
He's the type who's cunning and doesn't like people who are too smart.
My little wife is just fine like this!
Pei Rujing's gaze turned hostile: "Are you calling me stupid?"
Wen Zongji almost burst out laughing, but he shook his head calmly and said, "These are my heartfelt words, and there is absolutely no hidden meaning."
Pei Rujing squinted at him: "Don't let me find out you're lying to me."
Wen Zongji served her some food and gently coaxed her, "I promise not."
Pei Rujing was satisfied.
The eldest princess watched the interaction between the two, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
……
After having dinner at the princess's residence, Wen Zongji and Pei Rujing returned to the marquis's residence.
Upon learning that Wen Chuanhong had returned to his residence, Wen Zongji went to Juanqinzhai to see him.
In the study
"Father, the county princess and Miss Zuo have agreed to go to the Plum Garden outside the city tomorrow. It is not as safe outside the city as inside the city. I hope that the manor can send some guards to escort them."
Wen Chuanhong nodded: "I will instruct the steward to handle it. Zongji, you are the master of this mansion. From now on, you can simply instruct the steward to arrange guards without waiting for my approval."
Since they were already married, Wen Chuanhong couldn't possibly deny Wen Zongji all rights.
At the very least, it would be unreasonable for the Marquis's residence not to send guards to protect Pei Rujing when she went out of the city for a stroll.
"Son has remembered."
How was the gathering today?
Wen Zongji said, "I have benefited greatly."
"The Grand Secretary highly values his youngest son, Wu Fengyuan, and this gathering is to pave the way for his future. In the future, you will all serve in the same court. Even if you cannot be on good terms with him, you should at least not become enemies."
"My son understands."
Seeing that Wen Zongji was quite composed, Wen Chuanhong didn't say anything more.
Wen Chuanhong was not a talkative person. He gave Wen Zongji a few words of encouragement and then let him leave.
Upon returning to her residence, Pei Rujing immediately extended an invitation to Wen Shuyu and Madam Zhong, inviting them to play mahjong at Yunguang Courtyard the next day.
Since the Jiang family is an elder and we no longer need people, we did not invite them this time.
Granny Feng said, "Princess, Madam seemed to enjoy mahjong the other day. Why don't we have someone make a set of mahjong tiles for her?"
Pei Rujing nodded: "Sure! Make a few more and give them to Mother; they'll help her cheer up."
"The princess must be very pleased that the county princess is so filial."
Seeing that Pei Rujing was in a good mood, Granny Feng took the opportunity to say, "Princess, don't forget about consummating your marriage with your husband."
Pei Rujing's face stiffened as she remembered that she had pretended to be asleep last night.
After all, she was inexperienced in such matters, and she still felt some fear about consummating the marriage.
But Pei Rujing couldn't admit she was scared, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Granny, I remember everything."
Anyway, the extra bedding has been removed, whether or not the marriage will be consummated depends on Wen Zongji.
Want Pei Rujing to take the initiative?
It's impossible!
After mentally giving up, Pei Rujing was quite at ease.
Granny Feng, however, mistakenly thought that Pei Rujing would be more proactive, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Zongji, who had returned to Yunguang Academy, also remembered that he was now sleeping under the same blanket as Pei Rujing.
The steps toward the main house abruptly turned, and the person plunged into the study.
He was determined to study diligently, never returning to his main room until late at night.
Granny Feng, who was eagerly awaiting Wen Zongji's return, could only sigh in disappointment upon learning that he had gone to the study. She then arranged for a maid to serve Pei Rujing a bath.
The next day
Wen Zongji yawned as he got out of bed, making sure to tuck the blanket around Pei Rujing's neck.
The clothes Wen Zongji was to wear that day were placed on the screen next to him.
Now Wen Zongji's clothes are all kept in the inner room. Although Pei Rujing does not allow the maids to get close to Wen Zongji, she still allows them to prepare clothes for him to wear the next day.
This was originally a maid's job!
Wen Zongji returned to his room too late last night, and when he woke up this morning according to his biological clock, he was still a little tired.
I went out into the yard and practiced some health-preserving boxing for a while before I came to my senses.
Changdong had already prepared hot water and was helping Wen Zongji wash up.
Everything was finished, and breakfast was ready.
At this moment, Pei Rujing was still asleep.
Because Wen Zongji got up early to study, the two often couldn't eat breakfast together.
Thankfully, there's a small kitchen where we can prepare breakfast for both of us separately.
The main dishes were bird's nest porridge, steamed buns, and pastries, along with several side dishes that combined meat and vegetables, such as cold green vegetables and stir-fried lamb.
After a satisfying breakfast, Wen Zongji went to his study to continue reading.
About half an hour later, Pei Rujing woke up, opened her eyes groggily, and let Qinghe and the others help her change clothes and wash up. It wasn't until she sat down at the dining table and smelled the aroma of food that Pei Rujing fully woke up.
After taking a sip of lotus seed soup, Pei Rujing said, "Granny, send someone to wait at the gate of the mansion, so that the gatekeeper doesn't not recognize Zuo San."
Granny Feng wanted to say that this was a Marquis's mansion, after all, and such a basic mistake couldn't possibly happen.
But Pei Rujing was filled with excitement about her full schedule for the day, and if she was willing to accept this arrangement, they would obey.
