Wu Pen's work Perfect Husband Perfect Husband Episode 18 Even Goddesses Have Tsundere Moments

  Winter Solstice is a minor New Year's Day, eating dumplings adds one year of age, everyone happy holidays!

  ……

  Three bows to heaven, three bows to earth, then bow to elders, followed by drinking chicken blood.

  Under the gaze of many old men, Ao Wu felt particularly awkward. His slender body was dressed in a red robe, while Cheng Yaojin's robust body was dressed in a purple robe. The difference in their builds was great, and their clothes were mismatched, making them look like a big man leading a slender bride to the wedding hall.

  Kao Wu's face twitched, his eyebrows jumped, and the chrysanthemum tightened, this feeling was too annoying!

  "Second brother, what are you staring at? Come quickly and worship the heavens with your elder brother!" Cheng Yaojin turned his head around and called out to Awu who was lost in thought.

  Oh Mai Ge, go and worship Heaven and Earth!

  After finishing the heaven and earth worship, Cheng Yaojin wiped the chicken blood from the corner of his mouth, slammed the bowl, and shouted: "Haha, from now on we are brothers! Let's open the banquet, celebrate, everyone eat meat loudly, drink wine loudly!"

  The banquet prepared by the Cheng family was very grand, with tables filling up the entire courtyard of the Cheng residence.

  Those who attended included the elders of the Cheng family and their relatives who had just watched the comedy show, as well as some members of the Cheng clan.

  Cheng Yaojin picked up his wine bowl and said in a thunderous voice, "Today, I invited everyone to my home to celebrate the sworn brotherhood between me and Ao, the county magistrate of Liangfu. From now on, Ao is my own brother, and the Cheng family is also his family! Moreover, two days ago, my mother fell and lost consciousness, but fortunately, Doctor Zhong saved her life. So this banquet is also to thank Doctor Zhong for saving my mother's life!"

  "Oh!" Many people exclaimed.

  Then many people stood up to thank Zhong Shenyi, and some congratulated Cheng Mu.

  Zhong Shenyi waved his hand calmly and said, "This is what I should do as a doctor!"

  And as the real hero who saves people, she is lightly wiping off the powder on her face.

  "Second brother, come on! Let's go and toast everyone a cup!" Cheng Yaojin pulled Ao Wu, holding the bowl and walking towards the courtyard. Cheng Erde followed behind, carrying a large wine jug to refill their cups.

  The yellow wine is not strong, and finishing a round won't get you drunk, but I'm afraid my stomach is going to burst. Watching Cheng Yijian drink half and feed the other half to his clothes, Ao Wu doesn't know if he should learn this trick from him!

  "Huh?" Cheng Erde suddenly froze for a moment, his eyes looking towards the outside of the courtyard gate.

  Only one family servant was seen leading Ah Lai walking in.

  Seeing Ah Lai's pockmarked face, Ao Wu immediately recognized him as a servant of the Zhong family. This must be someone sent from home to fetch him back due to some matter.

  Why does Ah Lai always appear when there's something going on at home?

  On the other side, Zhong Shenyi also saw it and beckoned Alai to come over.

  After Ah Lai left, he whispered to Zhong Shenyi, who furrowed his brow and then relaxed it.

  Zhong Shenyi waved his hand, and Ah Lai was arranged by the servants of the Cheng family to go eat.

  Kao Wu Jing finished drinking, held his big belly and walked back, looking at Zhong Shenyi with inquiry. Zhong Shenyi said: "After the banquet, go home, there is someone looking for you."

  He doesn't look anxious at all, so it's probably nothing urgent.

  The banquet continued, and Madame Cheng ate a little before going down to rest. By noon, the banquet was over, and Master Zhong ordered his servants to prepare for their return home.

  Jing Gang seemed reluctant to part with them and saw Ao Wu and his group off at the gate, walking with Xu Sanmao until they reached the crossroads, where Ao Wu called out for them to stop.

  "Second brother, after you go back, remember to think of your brother. From now on, the Cheng family is your family too. I see that rich second-generation kid has been making things difficult for you. If he dares to make things difficult for you again, I'll go to Liangfu County to find him. Three days later, I'll take a trip to Liangfu County to visit the two elderly ones. This time, not inviting the two elderly ones over is my fault!" Cheng Yaojin said with a pat on Ao Wu's shoulder, speaking reluctantly.

  "Big brother has this heart, no need to be polite, my grandfather and grandmother knew that they had sworn in you as a brother, they will definitely be happy. Three days later, welcome big brother to our home!" Ao Wu said with a fist bump.

  Although it's only been a day since crossing over, Cheng Yaojin's straightforward and pleasant personality has made Ao Wu very fond of him, greatly admiring him, and getting along with him is extremely satisfying.

  "Good!"

  Xu Sanmao looked at Ao Wu with gratitude and said: "Yesterday and this morning, I ate the salt-steamed orange peel used by the little divine doctor, and indeed felt a refreshing throat. Thank you, little divine doctor! Three days later, I will come to visit and thank you together with Cheng Yuanwai!"

  "This is just a method told by the old Taoist, if you want to thank someone, thank the old Taoist!"

  "The old Taoist should thank him, and the little divine doctor should also thank him!" he insisted.

  "Alright then, I'll accept it on behalf of my master!"

  They bid farewell to Cheng Yaojin and his wife, and Ao Wu's party galloped away, heading towards the Yellow River ferry terminal.

  All along the way, both Zhong's father and daughter could feel that they had something to ask each other, but neither of them asked, and instead focused on hurrying along.

  Kao Wu knew in his heart that once they arrived at the Zhong's house, they would be questioned by them that night.

  Arriving at the Yellow River, looking at the turbulent waters of the Yellow River, Ao Wu sighed again, the Yellow River is not yellow!

  It's not that Ao Wu has poor acceptance, but after seeing the Yellow River with more sand than water in later generations, now seeing such a clear Yellow River, an uncontrollable emotion arises, it can't be controlled!

  After crossing the river, it took more than three hours, and finally returned to Liangfu County before dark.

  This county town, which has disappeared in the long river of history, is now showing its ancient appearance in front of Ao Wu.

  As he walked into the city, Ao Wu suddenly had a kind of illusion. Having seen the architectural style of the Sui Dynasty at the Cheng's house, when he arrived in Liangfu County, the buildings he saw seemed to have left the Sui Dynasty and entered another dynasty.

  Firstly, there is a detail, which is the ridge tile (the frontmost piece of tile on the roof is called the ridge tile, and it has a circular pendant with floral patterns). In the Cheng family's house, most of them are lotus-patterned tiles. This is the architectural style of the Sui Dynasty. When I arrived in Liangfu County, the ridge tiles were cloud-patterned. This is the architectural style of the Han Dynasty. Additionally, some buildings have arched bricks with a combination of diamond-shaped, copper arrowhead, triangular prism, six-sided cylinder, and short sword-like decorations on their front and side surfaces, all of which possess characteristics of the Warring States period.

  In the year of Han Wu Emperor's Mount Tai ceremony, this county was established and these buildings were also built at that time. The style is different from Sui Dynasty architecture, which can be understood.

  Hehe, this kind of wandering between two dynasties' illusion is quite bizarre!

  They arrived at the gate of a grand mansion with an ancient charm, and the donkey-faced butler was already waiting at the door. Seeing the group return on horseback, he exclaimed excitedly: "Ah Lang, you're back! You're finally back!"

  The horses were held by the steward and the doorman, Ao Wu and others got off the horse, they wiped the smoke dust on their faces. In ancient times, there was no haze, but when running horses, the whole body was surrounded by sand and soil.

  "After curing Old Lady Cheng, they stayed overnight. In the morning, Ah Wu and Cheng Yuanwai became sworn brothers, and after finishing the wine feast, they returned home." Zhong Shenyi let the housekeeper brush off the dirt on his body, "Is there anything going on at home?"

  "Don't worry, I've got everything under control!" The donkey-faced steward patted his chest to guarantee, "It's just County Magistrate Zhang coming to inform us about the medicinal herbs."

  "Oh!" Doctor Zhong nodded and went in.

  Now everyone's body is covered with dust, so they are arranged to wash and clean up. The housekeeper rushes to ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. Zhong Qing and her personal maid walk in front, that lively maid has a pair of small eyes like green beans, only thirteen or fourteen years old, her mouth sticks to Zhong Qing's ear and asks: "Young lady, why did your husband wear the new groom's clothes back?"

  He and Cheng Yuan became sworn brothers, wearing the ceremonial attire in the morning and not changing out of it when he returned. She was cold to outsiders but very close to her personal maid.

  "Ah, isn't Programmer a fierce one, like a giant insect? After my wife left, I asked around and was so scared to death that... "

  "Cheng Yiwen is outwardly cruel but actually kind, and he's a filial son." Zhong Qing still had a high opinion of Cheng Yaojin.

  "I don't understand." The maid's attention was still on Ao Wu's red robe, "Hehe, I thought Master had become someone else's new husband!"

  Little girl, can you consider whether the people behind you can hear what you're saying? Do you think I like wearing this red robe everywhere? It's because of your ancient customs that we have to exchange clothes after becoming sworn brothers. This red robe belongs to the Chai family and should be returned to Ao Wu. Moreover, the ritual dictates that we wear it for one day today. As for his bloody clothes, he doesn't want to wear them anymore, and as a token of our brotherhood, Ao Wu also wants to give a set of clothes to Chai Jin, but due to limited circumstances at the time, Chai Jin ended up keeping those clothes.

  Zhong Qing seemed to have thought of something and chuckled. The frosty beauty's fleeting smile lit up the world, leaving Ao Wu in the back staring in a daze with a small complaint.

  But he didn't stay happy for long, as Zhong Qing whispered to Ya Tou: "Like... a bride."

  The girl didn't know the situation: "Green green doesn't understand."

  The Ao Wu behind him was like being electrocuted, stiffening there. It turned out that she thought so when she watched the swearing-in ceremony at that time, the body of the Xiucai and Cheng Yaojin together, just like the big groom and the little bride. However, hey, even if you know, don't have to tease me later, this is too damaging!

  Are you a goddess or just too black-bellied?!

  Two women, one big and one small, entered a room, while A Lai took Ao Wu to another room to wash up with a belly full of resentment.

  After washing up, they were invited to the Zhong family's main hall for dinner.

  The Zhong family had only three people, so they didn't need to divide seats for dinner, but instead sat around a round table together.

  The dishes on the table are rich in color, with meat dishes such as fish and tender chicken, and vegetarian dishes such as lotus root, mushrooms, and fragrant fungus. They were eating millet rice. The Zhong family was a wealthy family, it seems that whether in modern times or ancient times, doctors' incomes have always been good.

  After dinner, Zhong Shenyi obviously had something to say. After having the bowls and chopsticks taken away, he asked Zhong Qing and Ao Wu to gather around him.

  He took a couple of sips of tea, spat out the tea leaves from his lips with ease, and then raised his head. His bright eyes scanned his daughter and son-in-law before finally settling on his daughter, asking seriously: "Qingniang, your father asks you, how did Ah Wu end up running up the mountain?"
