Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 568: First Day

Who would believe it!

Lian Fang Zhou glared at him, feeling very aggrieved but Ah Jian just teased her: “My good wife, instead of discussing this issue, let’s get up quickly! If we continued to talk about it, it will be another quarter or two quarters before we’re finished!”

Startled, Lian Fang Zhou smiled and quickly got out of bed.

She was in such a hurry that she forgot about the pain from before and when there was a sharp stab of pain in her body, she couldn’t help groaning and hissing with pain.

“Slow down!” Ah Jian hurriedly supported her.
Softly, he asked: “Still hurts? Take care of your body, only light activity this morning!” The former sentence was gentle and caring but the latter sentence! Hearing this, she couldn’t help but blush.

She was about to give him an earful when she saw his gentle and apologetic expression and couldn’t bear it.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but secretly sigh.
Her heart was getting softer and softer! She said she was in charge of him but this was only as long as she didn’t get eaten to death by him!

Sit down quickly, I will get your clothes.” Ah Jian helped her sit down and got off the bed, putting on his own clothes.

“Help me! I’m afraid you don’t even know what clothes to wear today!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled.

Ah Jian thought for a while and find this to be true.
Today was the first day of their marriage, which seemed to be particular.

Smiling, he said: “This is easy to handle! I will hold them up and you choose!” He wanted to carry her to the closet.

Lian Fang Zhou was taken aback.
She was not in the habit of being touched when she was only wearing her hair! Besides, he was fully clothed.

Hastily pulling the quilt to cover her lower half, she smiled: “It’s the second door of the closet over there.
The two sets in the middle are placed on top, you go and get them.”

“Let me carry you! I’m afraid I will choose the wrong ones.” Ah Jian said, staring at her white jade collarbone and half-exposed breasts.
Her skin was kike satin, no matter how much he looked at it, he couldn’t get enough!

“Hurry up!” Lian Fang Zhou glared at him.

Ah Jian laughed and obeyed.

The two got dressed and went out together.

Bi Tao and Chun Xing had been waiting for a long time and were very bored.
Seeing them, they hurried forward to bow on their knees and salute them, saying: “Congratulations to Master Jian and Madam Jian! Congratulations!”

This was the address that Lian Fang Zhou had instructed them to use.

Although she still lived in the Lian family, she was no longer a member of the Lian family.
She insisted on making this clear.

It was not just her who had to remember, Chun Xing, Bi Tao, Steward Qin, and the others must also remember! Lian Ze needed to gradually take the lead.

After getting up so late, Lian Fang Zhou was a little embarrassed and her face was slightly red.

But seeing the two maids congratulate them as if nothing was wrong, Lian Fang Zhou was gradually relieved.

“This servant will fetch water for Master and Madam to wash up.” Chun Xing said, getting up with a smile.

Bi Tao stood up and said: “Madam, let me comb your hair!”

Lian Fang Zhou nodded with a smile.

The masters and servants now lived in the west courtyard, which had a wide room as a reception place.
It was convenient to close the courtyard doors and form a unique style.

Ah Jian didn’t need anyone to serve him, so he smiled and said: “Serve your madam well!” and went to bathe.

After tidying up the two masters and two servants went to the main courtyard.

Third Aunt had been waiting for Chun Xing’s report and when she saw it, she let them in with a smile.

Lian Fang Qing jumped up, calling: “Big Sister! Brother Ah Jian!” Running over, she threw herself into Lian Fang Zhou’s arms.

Lian Fang Zhou smiled, hugging her.
“Good girl!”

Lian Ze also went up and smiled: “Brother Ah Jian, we have to change your name to Brother-in-law!” After saying this, he respectfully saluted them and grinned: “Sister! Brother-in-law!” Finally he can say this in front of everyone! He was very happy to call out ‘brother-in-law’ openly.

Lian Che also stepped forward and respectfully saluted: “Brother-in-law!”

Lian Fang Qing pouted and then smiled playfully: “I’m used to calling Brother Ah Jian, its weird to change it now! What if I call you Brother Ah Jian-in-law!” Her words made everyone laugh.

“This little girl is messing around!” Third Aunt laughed.
Smiling at Ah Jian, she said: “Young master, don’t care about it!”

“How can she change in just one night? She can call me whatever she likes,” Ah Jian smiled.
“After all, family can’t be wrong!”

Third Aunt and the others were delighted, they loved hearing this.
Third Aunt clapped her hands: “Yes, that’s right! A family, a family! We are a family!”

Lian Fang Qing laughed too: “I knew it, Brother Ah Jian is the best! Oh, brother-in-law!”

The group burst out laughing again.

Welcoming them into the room, Third Aunt said: “Yesterday you couldn’t eat well and were so busy all day, you must be hungry! The offerings and incense are ready, we will pay our respects to our ancestors and your parents.
It’s time to serve the tea!”

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian smiled: “Third Aunt has worked hard!”

“Isn’t this what I should do? It’s not difficult!” Third Aunt smiled as everyone went into the ancestral hall together.

After paying their respects, the couple offered tea to Third Aunt and Old Madam Cai.
Then Lian Ze and the others came up to speak formally.
Afterwards, they wall went down to have a lively meal.

Sitting at the table, Third Aunt and Old Madam Cai looked at Lian Fang Zhou closely.
Seeing that her expression was shy and charming and the radiance so bright that it couldn’t be hidden by any amount of powder, they were both relieved.

Ah Jian was gentle and considerate, and the two of them moved together with tenderness.
Both women’s hearts were comforted.

Breakfast was lively and intimate and no one mentioned Lian Li or Madam Qiao.

The couple never showed up.
They didn’t care if it was because of a guilty conscience or if they were just waiting for Lian Fang Zhou to invite them.

Not long after breakfast, Steward Qin, Manager Su, Madam Song, Madam Ruan, Wang Da, Su Jin, and the other workers all left the compound to visit with congratulatory smiles.

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian greeted them one by one and gave out red envelopes.

Everyone couldn’t help teasing the couple, joking about ‘birthing a precious child early’ until Lian Fang Zhou wanted to hide.

The house was crowded for a while and then it was almost noon.

Third Aunt laughed and said: “Go back to your room and rest, I will call you for lunch! What do you want to eat tonight? Newlyweds need to replenish their energy!”

Lian Fang Zhou’s face instantly became hot and she was speechless.

What needing to replenish energy? Did Third Aunt get confused?

Although she didn’t say anything out loud, her expression betrayed her heart clearly.

Third Aunt snorted.
“Don’t believe me? This woman remembers life before and after getting married! You have to keep your energy up!” As she spoke, she turned her eyes towards Ah Jian.

“Third Aunt!” Lian Fang Zhou stomped her foot.
