Gu Jinchu stood up while wearing her embroidered shoes. Jiang Nansheng walked in with steady steps, and the maid in the room bowed and retreated.

She wanted to walk forward and take his cloak, but he raised his arm to avoid her and said, "I just came back from outside, and my clothes are cold." He then hung the cloak on the coat rack.

As he walked, Gu Jinchu smelled a faint smell of alcohol on him.

I got closer and smelled it, and it really was.

Jiang Nansheng turned around and hugged her tightly, smiling and tapping her nose lightly, "You walk without making any sound, just like a bean curd."

Doubao, who was lying on the kang, raised his head, uttered two low sounds in his throat, pressed his head under his two front legs, and ignored people.

Gu Jinchu took the unfinished bird's nest and gestured to him with a spoon whether he wanted to drink it or not, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

In the past, I could only see him at home after the sun went down.

Jiang Nansheng lowered his head and took a sip. The sweet taste was very strange. He took the bowl from her hand and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

"Zhou Boyan invited everyone to have a drink, but I felt it was boring so I left the table early and came back first."

Zhou Boyan was two years older than him and had three legitimate children, both boys and girls.

Today at the dinner table, he jokingly asked Jiang Nansheng if she wanted to choose one of his legitimate children so that they could become in-laws in the future.

Gu Jinchu knew that Jiang Nansheng could drink a lot, but he still ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of sobering soup for the Fifth Master.

Soon, the maid brought in the sobering soup, and Jiang Nansheng changed into straight clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

The smell of alcohol on his body had faded a lot, and the fresh scent of soap was mixed with the faint scent of ebony on his body.

This familiar scent made Gu Jinchu's heart flutter. After all, she had been with him for a long time, and she also felt that she had his scent on her.

Jiang Nansheng walked over and sat down beside her, leaning against her, staring at the hangover soup in her hand without saying a word.

This was not the first time that Gu Jinchu had seen him acting childishly.

It was the same in his previous life. He came back from drinking and looked like this.

Gu Jinchu picked up the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, then blew gently along the edge of the bowl. After testing the temperature with the back of his hand, he confidently handed the spoon to Jiang Nansheng's lips.

Jiang Nansheng didn't open his mouth immediately. His eyes were tinged with crimson and he stared at her without blinking, just like he had just fed Gu Jinchu bird's nest, and drank the sobering soup she fed him spoonful by spoonful.

Under his scorching gaze, Gu Jinchu only felt that the big kang beneath him was becoming hotter and hotter.

The amber soup swayed slightly in the bowl, as if urging him to finish it quickly.

She licked her lips and whispered, "Close your eyes."

Jiang Nansheng let out a pleasant and deep laugh from her throat. After hearing Yi Yan's words, she closed her eyes but asked her, "Jin Chu, have you ever drunk the hangover soup?"

Gu Jinchu thought about it seriously, and then replied softly: "No, I'm not drunk, why would I drink it?"

Jiang Nansheng opened his eyes after hearing this, and the smile lines on his lips became even bigger.

This smile reminded Gu Jinchu of the embarrassing moment when she was young and kissed Jiang Nansheng forcibly when she was drunk, and gave him the seal of marriage to make him her husband.

What Jiang Nansheng was thinking about was the scene of their first kiss when he sneaked into her bedroom at night.

He took the small bowl from Gu Jinchu's hand, poured all the remaining soup at the bottom of the bowl into his mouth, then reached out and held her in his arms.

Before Gu Jinchu could recover from the shock, he was hugged tightly by him.

With his own familiar scent and taste, he pressed his body down and moved his face closer to hers until he put his mouth on hers.

Gu Jinchu's body stiffened, and then he knew what he wanted to do and felt what he was doing.

As their breaths intertwined, their lips felt wet and slippery, and they separated as soon as they touched.

Jiang Nansheng raised his head, leaned over and looked at her with a smile on his lips, "It's sweet." The low voice was faintly tempting.

Gu Jinchu pursed his lips subconsciously, stretched out his tongue and licked it gently, and said softly, "It is a little sweet."

It's sweet with a slight bitterness, and also has some indescribable medicinal flavor.

Jiang Nansheng put his arm around her waist, increasing the strength in his hands, and lowered his head to lean on her shoulder.

What a silly girl! It was obviously the sweetness of the milk and bird's nest she had just eaten.

As night fell, the room became dim, yet extremely peaceful and quiet. No one asked the maid to come in and light the lamp.

Jiang Nansheng was worried that he would crush her, so he turned over and changed his position, and their positions were also switched.

Gu Jinchu lay on his chest just like he did before, listening to the steady and warm heartbeat in his chest.

She said that her second sister-in-law had someone send over bacon, and Jin in the small kitchen was going to make a clay pot rice with northern Shaanxi flavor tonight.

It is also said that Madam Jiang invited Nanny Yuan from the palace to teach the rules to her granddaughters who were about to get married.

Speaking of this, Gu Jinchu raised her head from Jiang Nansheng's arms, looked at him and asked, "Husband, do you know this Nanny Yuan?"

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes, and slid his big hand from the back of her head to the side of her neck, gently rubbing her fair and delicate earlobe, and said softly:

"I haven't heard my mother and elder sister mention this person. Maybe I have seen him at Madam Zhou's or Madam Wu's place."

The grandchildren of the Zhou and Wu families have already reached the age of marriage, and a lot of information is shared among the big families.

It is common for a company to follow the trend in whatever it does.

The topic then turned to the third house, and it seemed that Mr. Jiang Sanye and Mrs. Meng had a disagreement over the marriage of their concubine's daughter.

Finally, let’s talk about the ninth young master of the first house, and the marriage of the third young master proposed by Wang, which Old Madam Jiang obviously disapproved of.

Jiang Nansheng held her smooth little hand in his palm and listened quietly to the daily trivialities that had happened at home recently.

These were things he normally didn't care much about, but when she spoke them they became vivid and life became concrete in his mind.

Just after dinner, the servant beside the Duke came over and said that the Duke wanted to ask the Fifth Master to go to the outer study.

Gu Jinchu looked at Jiang Nansheng's back with a frown on his face, and suddenly thought of the eldest prince who had died of illness in the previous life.

When Jiang Nansheng arrived at the study, the Duke was sitting in the armchair at the top, peeling walnut kernels in his hands.

The last time he came here was on the day of his wedding when the prince was scolded.

However, the Crown Prince was replaced by his second brother, Jiang Nanli.

"Father, second brother." Jiang Nansheng bowed after entering the door.

When Mr. Jiang saw his fifth brother come in, he nodded slightly.

Jiang Nanli had not changed out of his official uniform yet. The only thing that was similar to the Duke was that he became more serious as he got older.

When Mr. Wei saw Jiang Nansheng sitting down, his face was solemn: "Fifth Master, there is movement from the eldest prince!"

Jiang Nansheng picked up the teacup and blew on it, then lowered his eyes and asked, "Did something happen to him, or did Han Jie beside him have a trembling hand?"

The Duke and Jiang Nanli looked at Jiang Nansheng at the same time. Xiaowu already knew the news that they had just learned?

Jiang Nansheng put down his teacup and said calmly, "Sanjiang Fort is about to be completely barren. The only capable person is General Zheng who is stationed there."
