Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

When Zhou Tian got off the car, it was completely dark. After giving Liu Yuan a few instructions, Zhou Tian returned home.

"Xiaotian, you're back. Why are you so late today?"

As soon as I walked into the backyard, I saw my grandmother coming out of the main room and asked.

"Grandma, why haven't you slept yet? I had something to do today, so I came back late. You are so old, don't go out at night! If you fall, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

When Zhou Tian saw grandma coming out, he immediately went up to her, held her arm and spoke with concern.

"Okay, grandma isn't that old yet. Grandma has already put the meal in the kitchen for you. You've been tired all day, so go back and rest after dinner!"

As grandma spoke, she stretched out her veined hand and stroked his hand, speaking with concern.

"Okay, grandma, I understand. Go back and have some rest!"

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he pushed his grandmother back into the house and then walked towards the kitchen.

After finishing the still warm meal in the kitchen, he stocked up on a lot of grain, vegetables and meat for the family, and then headed towards the west wing.

When I walked into the bedroom, Shen Yulin was still awake. She was lying on the bed reading a book. When she saw the head of the family coming back, she immediately closed the book.

"Boss, why are you so late today?"

"It's nothing, I just went to the construction site of the family building to check on the progress of the family building!"

Zhou Tian took off his clothes and hung them on the hanger. He said something casually and got on the bed. Looking at his wife lying on the bed, he couldn't help but ask, "What book are you reading?"

She knew that her wife, Shen Yulin, was not a studious person, but she didn't expect that she would remember to read today. She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"nothing?"

When Shen Yulin heard her husband's words, her pretty face turned red instantly. She immediately picked up the book in her hand and stuffed it under the pillow.

"Ouch, ouch!"

Zhou Tian looked at his wife's actions and immediately became interested. If Shen Yulin had behaved the same as usual, he would not have cared. However, seeing her so nervous now, it made him even more curious.

He immediately lay down beside his wife and reached out to take the book under the pillow.

"No, don't take it!"

When Shen Yulin saw her husband's actions, she immediately said something coquettishly, stretched out her jade hand to grab his hand, and prevented him from taking another step forward.

"It's okay if you don't allow me to do so. Come and tell your boss what kind of book this is."

Zhou Tian stopped moving after Shen Yulin grabbed his hand. Instead, he asked teasingly, his eyes flashing with a half-smile as he stared at her.

"I didn't see anything!"

Shen Yulin felt a little embarrassed when her husband stared at her, so she turned her head away and spoke stubbornly.

"I didn't see anything, so what are you afraid of? No, I want to see it!"

Zhou Tian looked at his wife with a shy face and wanted to tease her even more. When she turned her head, Zhou Tian suddenly used his other hand to take away the book she had stuffed under the pillow.

"Hate it, give it back to me!"

When Shen Yulin saw Zhou Tian take the book away, she immediately became anxious and grabbed the book from her husband's hand with a blushing face.

There was also a hint of anxiety and shame in her beautiful eyes.

Zhou Tian saw that his wife suddenly became anxious, so he stopped teasing her and let her snatch the book away. However, when he took the book away, he had already seen the name of the book, so he naturally knew why his wife had such an expression.

This book is "The Lady of the Camellias" translated by Lin Shu and Wang Shouchang.

Zhou Tian had read this book in his previous life, so he naturally knew what the plot was about. To put it bluntly, it was a story about a socialite and a noble young man, Armand, who fell in love and were separated by their families.

Although the love story told in it is very touching, it is also filled with a lot of ambiguous plots, especially the description of emotional exchanges in the book, which is very vivid. Although it is not as good as the pornographic books in the previous life, it can be regarded as a provocation to people's ethics and morals in this era.

"Humph!"

Shen Yulin snatched the book and stuffed it back under the pillow. Then she looked at her husband. When she saw his smiling eyes, she couldn't help but feel guilty. She couldn't help but explain.

"I just borrowed this book from my colleague because I was bored at home!"

"Look how scared you are. I didn't say anything! Well, it's just a novel, isn't it? Can it be compared to "Jin Ping Mei"?"

Seeing his wife's anxious expression, Zhou Tian couldn't help but step forward and hugged his wife, comforting her softly. After all, in this era, people are generally naive. It may be okay for a person to read such a book alone, but if it is seen by a second person, it will be socially disastrous.

Although "The Lady of the Camellias" cannot be called a pornographic book, the description of emotions in it is still very exciting.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Shen Yulin looks guilty.

"Boss, you don't blame me?"

Shen Yulin leaned on her husband's chest and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

No matter what, she is a married woman, but she still reads this kind of novel. She is afraid that her husband will say that she does not love herself and respect herself. If this causes their relationship to break down, she will even hate herself.

Not to mention her, I'm afraid even her parents would not forgive her if they knew about it, which is why she insisted on getting it back.

"Strange? What's wrong with that? Besides, since the higher-ups haven't banned the circulation of books like this, it means that this book doesn't have a big impact on the country. Why should I blame you? Besides, I've also read "Jin Ping Mei"!"

Zhou Tian naturally sensed Shen Yulin's worry and stroked her back to comfort her.

He did not lie about this, but he had read about it in his previous life. As for this life, he had indeed not come into contact with it. After all, he had found it difficult to survive cautiously in the past, so where would he have the time to read books and think about these things?

"Are you telling the truth?"

When Shen Yulin received a positive answer from her husband, a smile immediately broke out on her pretty face, like a rose blooming in autumn, so captivating. Her appearance was already stunningly beautiful, and now with such a smile, even he, who was already used to seeing such beauty, couldn't help but be amazed again.

"of course it's true!"

Zhou Tian nodded in assurance, and then he comforted his wife a few more words, which calmed her emotions. This made Zhou Tian regret more than once. If he had known this would happen, he should not have teased her just now.

The two of them were lying on the bed, and in order to completely resolve her emotional knot, Zhou Tian couldn't help but tell her the story of The Lady of the Camellias.

They also discussed their views on love and the three outlooks. Although Shen Yulin was very envious of the love in the relationship, she was still speechless after hearing Zhou Tian's rebuttal. After all, Zhou Tian was different from Shen Yulin, a woman with a pure view on love.

He knew very well that love, in essence, was something for the rich. For the poor and the lower class, life was more real.

As for the plot about extramarital affair, neither of them discussed it. After all, such things were forbidden in this era. It can be said that as long as one is not afraid of being shot or exiled, such things will never happen, unless it is consensual.

Of course, no matter what era it is, such things can't necessarily be banned, they just can't be exposed, just like what happened between Zhou Tian and Qin Huairu some time ago. In fact, if Zhou Tian is willing, he can do so. After all, with his status, even if the higher-ups find out, at most he will end his career, and it won't have much impact on other things.

However, considering the future, he gave up.
