Chapter 184 The First Day of Marriage

Chapter 184 The First Day of Marriage

Although the young couple didn't have any elders to rely on, and Xie Wanniang could get up as late as she wanted, she was still used to going to bed early and getting up early. Even in this special situation, she only got up about an hour later than usual.

Xie Wanniang was somewhat unaccustomed to going from a solitary free woman to a bride whose fate would be intertwined with another person's. However, she had to admit that Jiang Yuan was indeed very charming from head to toe, inside and out.

His looks and figure perfectly matched her aesthetic preferences, and his personality, character, and abilities were all top-notch. He was all alone, so there was no elder or relative who would likely criticize her as his new daughter-in-law. Most importantly, he was completely devoted to her.

Xie Wanniang truly believed that in matters of love and marriage, she was definitely God's favorite daughter; otherwise, God wouldn't have been so kind to her.

Holding Jiang Yuan's arm, Xie Wanniang planted a kiss on his handsome profile before slowly sitting up, her back aching.

Caught off guard by the sneak attack, Jiang Yuan only snapped back to his senses at this moment. He smiled and, without any instruction, began to help Xie Wan Niang get dressed.

Xie Wanniang touched the clean and refreshing undergarment she was wearing, and the warm scene of Jiang Yuan bustling around and serving her while she washed and changed clothes last night uncontrollably floated into her mind.

She reached out and put her arms around Jiang Yuan's neck, feeling increasingly satisfied with him.

She's struck gold! She's hit the jackpot!

As Jiang Yuan helped her get dressed, she combed and styled her hair, occasionally stealing glances at Jiang Yuan, whose cheeks and ears were already flushed as he dressed her and put on her shoes and socks.

Hehe, it feels like her and Jiang Yuan's situations have reversed. Jiang Yuan is like a shy, timid wife, while she's like a shameless, lecherous husband. Indeed, if you're thick-skinned enough, it's always others who feel awkward and embarrassed.

After tidying up and washing up with Jiang Yuan, the two of them rang the bell to call over the little girl, Haitang, who had been eagerly waiting.

Meeting the other person's bright eyes, which were both curious and excited, Xie Wanniang calmly made a request, "Does the small kitchen still have any food? If so, please send some over to us."

Haitang nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, this servant will go and get it for you and your husband right away."

The little girl turned around and quickly ran towards the kitchen.

Xiao Yang and Xiao Mei, who came with her, one ran after her, while the other respectfully presented her completed homework with both hands.

Xie Wanniang took the medical book that Xiaomei had copied from memory, and quickly flipped through it. "Have you reviewed it yourself?"

Xiaomei nodded, "I made two mistakes when I wrote it the first time, and I wrote it again after I memorized it again."

Xie Wanniang was very satisfied. "Then you can continue memorizing the next chapter today. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain it to you after dinner."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei felt even more admiration for Xie Wan Niang.

Her master had been running his business, teaching his students, and handling daily chores in an orderly manner on both the last day before his wedding and the first day of his marriage. He even skipped his early morning martial arts practice, which was only delayed once today.

What a resilient heart and what powerful self-control that must take!

Xie Wanniang was unaware of Xiaomei's thoughts. In her opinion, the students she taught were all very easy to manage. All she had to do was occasionally give them assignments and answer their questions.

This level of workload is less time-consuming and strenuous for her than taking a shower. Why can't she keep everything the same?

As for running her businesses, she mostly acts as a hands-off manager in both of her shops. Only when the shopkeepers encounter problems that they cannot decide on their own do she need to quickly make a decision after understanding the situation.

This is actually quite easy and doesn't take her much time or effort.

With only her and Jiang Yuan, this loving young couple, at home, and no one daring to upset her, handling such a small matter was a piece of cake for her.

Soon, Haitang and Xiaoyang brought Jiang Yuan and Xie Wanniang a light breakfast that the cook had been keeping warm in a pot. It looked simple but was actually nutritionally balanced.

A dish of dried radish, a dish of shredded cabbage, a bowl of kelp, radish and pork rib soup, a bowl of sweet tofu pudding and a bowl of savory tofu pudding, two red bean buns, two pork and cabbage buns, and two egg pancakes—this was just enough for Xie Wan's mother and Jiang Yuan to eat until they were about 70-80% full, so that they wouldn't miss their normal lunch due to overeating in the morning.

After seeing Haitang and the others off, the two sat down side by side and enjoyed their first breakfast together after their marriage.

Come to think of it, Xie Wanniang and Jiang Yuan had eaten together quite a few times before, but that was all before their marriage.

The feeling is quite different then and now.

"Come for a walk in the garden with me." After finishing her somewhat late breakfast, Xie Wanniang smiled and reached out her hand to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, "Your body..."

"I'm perfectly healthy," Xie Wanniang said, reaching out to take his arm. "It's just a slight discomfort; I can still take a walk without any problem."

It was rare to find such a beautifully maintained little garden in this house, which she hadn't had a chance to appreciate properly before. Now that the house belonged to her and Jiang Yuan, she naturally wanted to explore and memorize every corner.

She insisted, so Jiang Yuan let her go. After all, Xie Wanniang was not someone who would joke about her own body; she always valued her life very much.

As the two walked to the entrance of the main courtyard, Xie Wanniang called out, "Haitang."

Haitang lived in the next courtyard. When she heard Xie Wanniang calling her, she immediately ran out, "Miss!"

Xie Wanniang pointed to her and Jiang Yuan's courtyard, "Clean up the dishes."

Haitang's gaze swept over the hand that was linked with Jiang Yuan's arm. "Okay!"

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that her daughter hadn't gotten married, but rather that she had brought a virtuous and kind son-in-law into their family...

Unbeknownst to Xie Wanniang and Jiang Yuan, the young girl was secretly pondering how their relationship was so different from that of most couples in this era. After informing Haitang, Xie Wanniang went to stroll in the garden with Jiang Yuan.

Previously, Chang Yao did not have a gardener. The small garden in his house was outsourced by the disabled veteran who was responsible for guarding the house to a middle-aged gardener who made a living by growing and selling flowers.

After Xie Wanniang and Jiang Yuan took over the house, they didn't want to hire more servants, so they simply adopted the old soldier's maintenance methods for the house.

Cleaning can be done by two people, each taking turns to clean different areas each day. Building repairs and plant maintenance are all outsourced to skilled and honest bricklayers and gardeners.

In this way, even if Xie Wanniang and Jiang Yuan have a mansion that far exceeds their expectations, they still won't need to hire a bunch of servants to increase expenses.
