Chapter 220 Return Gift
Su Cheng'an really kept his promise and refused to touch Jin Chu unless he could persuade her.
Except for kissing her forehead before going to bed, he lay on the outside of the bed properly all night.
To be on the safe side, he even asked his maid to bring an extra quilt. Although the two of them slept in the same bed, they did not share the same cover. It was like the Chu River and Han River, with a clear boundary between them.
I thought that with such thorough preparations, tonight would surely be a peaceful and tranquil night.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his patience and underestimated Jin Chu's sleepiness.
After all, this is the northern border, and it is now late August. Compared to the coolness during the day, it is quite chilly at night.
Perhaps because they were already husband and wife and had experienced the intimate incident of applying medicine, Jin Chu had become extremely close to him and felt relaxed.
The couple was fine at first, but when Jin Chu fell asleep, his body began to unconsciously move closer to the heat source, first pressing down on his quilt, and later simply crawling into his bed.
How could Su Cheng'an, a young man full of passion and ambition, resist the temptation of this beautiful woman who had just tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time? Moreover, this beautiful woman was his beloved!
The waiter immediately raised his head and was ready to make a move!
Su Cheng'an forced himself to endure, pushed Jin Chu back, wrapped his own quilt tighter, and then calmed down.
After finally calming down the restless Su Xiaoer, the girl rolled over to him again.
This went on for several times, and Su Cheng'an was tormented to the point of ecstasy, but the instigator was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, wrapped in the quilt.
The Prince of Dingbei couldn't bear to wake Jin Chu up, so he could only accept his fate and got up to go to the bathroom.
In this way, he took two or three cold showers in one night.
When Jin Chu woke up the next day, he looked at himself occupying Su Chengan's bed with an expression of disbelief.
Judging from the situation, could it be that my infatuation instinct was awakened last night, and I took over Su Cheng'an's position, forced myself on him, and then made him run away in anger?
Thinking of this, Jin Chu's expression remained unchanged, but he felt very embarrassed. He asked Yu Xing beside him, "Where is the prince?"
Yu Xing helped Jin Chu put on her clothes before she replied, "The young master got up at dawn and went to the martial arts training ground in the backyard. You were sleeping soundly at that time, and the young master specifically told Sister Yucheng and me not to wake you up, saying that you should sleep a little longer. The young master is very considerate of you!"
As she spoke, Yu Xing smiled, revealing her two iconic little canine teeth.
The girl is their support, and the prince is the girl's support. Now that the prince dotes on the girl, she and Yucheng are very happy!
"Did your prince say when he would be back?"
According to custom, today is the third day of the wedding, which is the day to return to the bride's parents' home.
Although her parents are no longer around, she still recognizes the Gao family as her adopted relatives.
And since the Gao family is devoted to her, she will go to the Gao family with Su Cheng'an today to pay a visit to their parents in order to complete the affection between them.
As if guessing what was on the girl's mind, Yu Xing shook her head, but quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, girl. Before the prince left, he specifically instructed Brother Changshun to arrange the gifts for today's return. I think he will definitely not delay the girl's return."
After hearing Yu Xing's words, Jin Chu was completely relieved.
She knew that Su Cheng'an was always a cautious person, but this was the first time she had encountered such a thing as returning to her parents' home, and she was worried that he would not consider it carefully. Now that she knew that he had made proper arrangements, she let it go.
When she slowly got up from the bed and came back after washing up, Su Cheng'an was already sitting at the table, covered in sweat.
"Ajin, are you up?" Su Cheng'an greeted her with a smile.
Jin Chu nodded. She saw that he was in high spirits, his brows were relaxed, and he looked comfortable and casual, with only a faint dark spot under the corner of his eye.
Didn’t you get enough rest last night?
Jin Chu was puzzled, but did not ask the reason. He just changed the subject and said, "Today is the day I should go back to my parents' home. The Gao family..."
As soon as she said this, Su Cheng'an interrupted her and said, "Don't worry about the Gao family. I've already asked Changshun to prepare the gifts. After breakfast later, go and see if there's anything else you'd like to add. If so, just ask them to add it."
"As for the Gao family, I sent someone to tell them yesterday that we had arrived before noon today. I believe they will be well prepared."
"It takes about half an hour to get from the mansion to the Gao family's house. We can set off at the beginning of the morning." He looked up at the copper clock not far away. "It's only the beginning of the morning now, so there's still plenty of time. Ah Jin, there's no need to rush."
"Okay, then go wash up. I'll have the maids set the table and we'll eat together."
Seeing that Su Cheng'an had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Jin Chu was naturally happy.
She stepped forward and nudged Su Chengan, who was still sitting there, with a finger. Her face feigned disdain, but her tone was quite intimate as she urged him, "Hurry up! Go wash off this stinky sweat of yours. You're making me lose my appetite for breakfast!"
Su Cheng didn't take it seriously and deliberately rubbed his forehead against Jin Chu's face, scaring Jin Chu so much that she jumped away like a rabbit. With her hands on her hips and her eyebrows raised, she angrily shouted, "You bold lunatic! I'm going to break your legs!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Cheng'an burst into laughter on the spot, and even Yu Cheng and Yu Xing who were not far away couldn't help laughing.
"Ajin, you are so cute!" Su Cheng'an stood up, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Wait a moment, I'll come after I wash up." After saying that, he stood up and went to the bathroom.
After an incense stick of time, the two sat down at the dinner table.
Su Cheng'an ate a bowl of silver thread noodles and a few golden fried steamed dumplings, while Jin Chu held a bowl of soft and glutinous red date and glutinous rice porridge and ate it slowly with some side dishes.
After the couple finished eating and the two Yus quickly came up to clean the table, Su Cheng'an spoke again.
"Ajin, shall I take you to see the gifts for the Gao family?"
Jin Chu nodded and followed him to see the return gift.
When Changshun and the others saw the hostess coming in person, they hurried forward to greet her, and then followed Jinchu attentively to introduce her to them.
One cart contained medicinal herbs, one contained cloth, and another contained some exquisite study treasures or gifts such as pearls and jade jewelry.
They were all genuine gifts returned to her parents' home without any pretense. Su Cheng'an really thought about her in every way.
Jin Chu felt warm in her heart, and turned to look at Su Cheng'an with deep gratitude in her eyes. Su Cheng'an, who received her gaze, felt even more satisfied, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
"You've prepared well, there's no need to add anything else."
Afterwards, the two of them went to Hanzhang Court to pay a visit to Princess Du, and then left the house and headed towards the Gao family.
Before arriving at Gao's house, I saw from afar my adoptive father and mother, my adoptive brother and other relatives waiting for me outside the gate.
With the help of Su Cheng'an, Jin Chu jumped off the carriage and went to pay a visit to the Gao family's lady-in-waiting amid the warm welcome of the Gao family.
Afterwards, Su Cheng'an followed the Gao father and son to the front yard, while Jin Chu, accompanied by his adoptive mother, Mrs. Gao, and a group of female relatives, walked into the back hall.
During the dinner, Su Cheng'an clearly told the Gao family that as soon as the white salt business in Yangcheng was launched recently, merchants came in an endless stream and it became extremely popular.
But Yangcheng is a small coastal city after all, located in a corner, and there are many inconveniences in business travel. If this continues for a long time, it will definitely affect the sales speed of white salt.
Therefore, after discussing with the prince, he decided to open a new Salt Administration in Youyun City next month to receive the white salt shipped from Yangcheng and to deal with merchants from various places who came to purchase white salt.
Since Gao Cheng had followed Jin Chu to Yangcheng and understood the various processes of white salt purification, they wanted him to first serve as a clerk in the Youyun City Salt Administration.
If you have the ability in the later stage, you can be promoted further.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
You should know that white salt is the most important industry in the north today. The entire Jin Dynasty and even foreign countries are all competing to buy it eagerly.
After all, as long as you are a human being, you have to eat, and as long as you eat, you have to use salt. After tasting the delicious taste of white salt, which is as expensive as green salt, who would abandon pearls and jade for rubble?
The Salt Administration Bureau established in Youyun City will definitely be the most important economic department of the Dingbei Palace in the future.
Su Cheng'an's decision to let Gao Cheng in had already given the Gao family a great opportunity. If they couldn't seize it now, it would be extremely foolish!
Gao Zhen's face was filled with surprise, while Gao Cheng dropped to his knees with a thud: "Thank you, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, for not abandoning me. I will do my best and will not let you down!"
"Okay, brother, please stand up quickly. Ajin and I trust you! If you achieve something in the future, we will not let you down!" Su Cheng'an helped Gao Cheng up with his own hands and was very satisfied with his attitude.
The Gao family was overjoyed to have gotten this really good job. During the banquet, everyone was chatting with each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After a short rest after the meal, Jin Chu and Su Cheng'an bid farewell to their adoptive father and mother and returned to the Dingbei Palace, despite the repeated requests of the Gao family.
