Chapter 42: Warm Spring Night
Chapter 42: Warm Spring Night
Under the tree outside the yard, two white cranes snuggled together and made soft snoring sounds.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the stone table, like mercury covering the ground, flashing with white light.
The bright candlelight shone through the window paper, casting the shadows of the couple.
"Hefang Street?"
“It’s a prosperous place.”
In front of the dark red dressing table, Xu Xian pulled out Xiaobai's hairpin.
Xiaobai twisted his body.
Her long, thick black hair flowed down like a waterfall, and the candlelight swayed on her hair, just like shining on a piece of smooth silk.
Xu Xian pulled up Xiaobai's long hair and combed it with a peach wood comb.
His eyes were extremely careful.
The lightly scented comb teeth were inserted into the hair and swept down smoothly. The candlelight on the hair rippled along with it, as if combing a tranquil lake.
In the bronze mirror, Xu Xian was extremely focused.
Xiaobai looked at him with a happy smile on his face.
My husband loves me.
With a smile in her eyes, she said softly, "There are two shops for sale on Hefang Street. One is at the end of the street. It's bigger and cheaper, but it's a little quiet."
"Yeah." Xu Xian nodded slightly.
Xiao Bai continued, "The other one is in a busy area, smaller in size, and much more expensive, but it has a lot of people coming and going in front of the door, so it must be doing good business."
"Sir, which one do you think is better?" She couldn't make up her mind and asked Xu Xian for his advice.
There was a thoughtful gleam in Xu Xian's eyes.
"Pharmacies are different from other stores. They don't have high requirements for location, but value reputation more. I want to take a look at the one at the end of the street first." Xu Xian paused, "What do you think, madam?"
He thought to himself, with the connections I have accumulated in Hangzhou City, even if I open a pharmacy in a secluded corner, there will be no shortage of people at the door.
However, my wife's opinion is also important.
Xiao Bai said softly, "I will listen to you, sir."
She thought to herself, your Excellency has been practicing medicine in Hangzhou for many years, so he must know the principles of choosing a location for a pharmacy better than I do.
Her voice is soft and very pleasant to hear.
Xu Xian smiled.
At this moment, several dog barking sounds came into the house, as if coming from a very far distance.
The voice floated here, having lost its strength.
Xu Xian put down the peach wood comb and said with a smile: "My lady, it's time to rest."
"Yeah." Xiaobai responded in a low voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"Ah!" she exclaimed.
Xu Xian picked up Xiaobai by the waist and put her on the couch.
Xiaobai's face was flushed, and I didn't know if it was the candlelight shining through the red curtain, or her shyness showing through her face.
"Official."
She touched Xu Xian's chest and moaned shyly.
Xu Xian lowered his head and looked at her.
Affections intertwined in the air, heating up the air.
The atmosphere becomes more charming.
The red curtain was reflected in Xiaobai's eyes. Shameful images and sounds kept emerging from the depths of her mind, destroying her sanity bit by bit.
Xu Xian held her soft hand.
"Miss."
Xu Xian gradually lost control of his breathing.
The hot breath burned Xiaobai's face, making him feel like he was suffocating.
Her expression became increasingly confused.
The pure mind and charming eyes burn like a seductive fire.
"Official."
Her voice penetrated Xu Xian's ears like a spark bursting into an iron pot full of oil.
Xu Xian kissed her snow-white neck.
She moaned, and her undergarments and bellyband flew off, leaving no piece of cloth on her body.
Xu Xian held her waist.
The curtain falls, and the shadows of people are intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between you and me.
I don't know when the candle went out.
The sky was gray and the call of cuckoos could be heard outside the yard.
Being single is so miserable! Being single is so miserable!
Being single is so miserable!
Xu Xian opened his eyes and found that the beauty in his arms was still sleeping soundly.
Another crazy night.
Xiaobai closed her eyes tightly, her messy hair covered her face, and her body still bore traces of her deep love. Xu Xian's eyes flashed with pity.
Suddenly, Xiaobai's eyelashes trembled a few times.
She opened her eyes.
"My wife, you're awake." Xu Xian held Xiaobai in his arms, his voice as gentle as cotton.
"Yeah." Xiaobai nodded shyly.
Last night was more enjoyable than the wedding night.
My consciousness was blurred several times, and every scale was trembling in the tide of love.
She didn't even remember how she fell asleep.
Maybe he fainted.
Xu Xian pursed his lips, feeling a little guilty.
I was so excited last night and was so reckless.
"Sir, I'm going to make breakfast. You take a rest for a while." Xiaobai's face was red, as if it was burning.
She propped herself up, her long hair falling from her chest, covering the deep purple color.
"Yeah." Xu Xian nodded slightly.
Xiaobai climbed out of the bed, her back to Xu Xian, and knelt on the bed to put on her bellyband.
Put on other clothes.
"Sir, I'm leaving." She said softly, and then fled out of the house.
Xu Xian looked at her back and smiled knowingly.
"My lady's aura is steady, and the loss of her essence and blood has been made up."
His eyes flickered as he murmured, "I wonder when my wife took the magic grass? She has already reached the limit of snakes. The magic grass has strong spiritual power. A few leaves are enough for her to break through the shackles of her bloodline."
"But to transform into a dragon, you still have to overcome the tribulation."
Crossing the Tribulation——
When he read this word, Xu Xian pursed his lips.
He thought to himself that the thunder tribulation was of great magnitude, and it would be good if he could get through it, but if he didn't, he would probably die on the spot!
"I have to prepare a few things for my wife."
Xu Xian fell into deep thought.
If you think about it carefully, Xiaobai is penniless.
Without any good skills or powerful magic weapons, if one tries to overcome the calamity rashly, one can only gamble on how tough the snake scales are.
This is not possible!
Outside the house, Xiaobai was washing rice.
She thought to herself, the husband has worked hard, so I should add some wolfberries to the porridge.
"Sister." Xiaoqing walked to Xiaobai.
She didn't say anything else, just raised her little face and showed Xiaobai her dark circles.
At the end of Hefang Street, there is a shop with a sign saying it is for sale.
This is a grocery store.
The reason for the transfer is obvious, because there is also a grocery store across the street, and there are people coming and going, and the business is visibly good!
Xu Xian held Xiaobai's hand and walked into the shop to be transferred.
Xiaoqing followed behind them.
Business is slow and the shop is very quiet.
The gray-haired shopkeeper sat behind the counter, sizing up the three people who entered the store.
"A few."
"What do you want to buy?"
Xu Xian smiled, took Xiao Bai to the counter and asked, "Boss, we saw a sign saying the store is being transferred. What's the reason?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
He saw that Xu Xian and his wife were young, so he didn't think about buying a shop.
"There are several new grocery stores opening around here, and they've taken away a lot of customers." The shopkeeper paused, "It's also because I'm old and can't run the business anymore."
"Young man, do you want to buy my shop?"
Xu Xian nodded slightly.
"Three hundred taels." The shopkeeper held up three fingers. "For only three hundred taels, this shop is yours, and I will go back to the countryside to retire."
"It's a fair price." Xu Xian turned his head and looked at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai understood.
She took out three silver notes worth one hundred taels and placed them in a row in front of the shopkeeper.
A flawless jade lies on the couch.
The red curtains fluttered and the foot of the bed hummed.
The soul and dreams are torn apart, and the pain is like that of melting bones.
The best thing in the world is a night of romance.
