Facing the face in the mirror, Ji Zhao could not help but feel a little dazed.

It was not until the sudden sound of firecrackers outside the house that she came back to her senses.

“It’s not even dawn yet!” Aunt Guihua walked closer to the window and glanced at the sky. She couldn’t help but laugh and tease, “Shen Yao is really impatient!”

“Ah Tao–”

Zhao Lanhua walked over the threshold with a smile. “Sister Guihua, you haven’t combed Ah Tao’s hair yet, right?”

“No, no!” Ji Guihua hurriedly smiled. “How could I dare to disobey your instructions!”

“Mother?”

Seeing Zhao Lanhua appear in front of her, Ji Zhao’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“Good child.” Zhao Lanhua happily took the red wooden cow horn comb from Madam Guo’s hand and explained in a low voice, “Mother wanted to come long ago. Fortunately, I made it in time. Mother will comb your hair, okay?”

“Okay…”

Ji Zhao really did not expect Zhao Lanhua to dote on her so much.

Under normal circumstances, it was the women on the bride’s side who combed her hair. The most basic requirement was that the children and grandchildren would be full of blessings.

Zhao Lanhua had rushed over to comb Ji Zhao’s hair, which meant that in her heart, she was not only Ji Zhaofu’s mother-in-law, but also her family.

Or rather, Zhao Lanhua really treated Ji Zhao as her daughter.

“First comb to the end, second comb for white hair reaching the brows, third comb for children and grandchildren to fill the hall.”

After Zhao Lanhua combed her hair, her eyes were already wet.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and thanked her gratefully.

“The auspicious hour has arrived!”

About an hour later, Madam Guo carefully covered Ji Zhao’s head with the red cloth and said with a bright smile, ‘The bride is getting on the bridal sedan!” Ji Chen, who was waiting outside, was also wearing a dark red robe today, which made his little face look even fairer.

“Sister, I’ll carry you.”

. Okay.”

Ji Zhao responded with a smile and then gently laid on Ji Chen’s back.

Madam Guo, who was standing at the side, hurriedly reached out to support Ji Zhao’s lower back.

Although Ji Chen’s footsteps were a little hurried, his every step was incomparably firm.

“Chenchen wishes you a safe and happy life.”

Under the red veil, Ji Zhao was already in tears.

Until a familiar handkerchief appeared in front of her.

“Ah Tao, I’m here to marry you.”

Shen Yao said gently.

“Mm!”

It wasn’t until the moment she sat in the bridal sedan that Ji Zhao’s thoughts gradually returned.

She looked down at the red apple in her palm and laughed foolishly.

At that moment, Shen Yao was riding on White Snow’s back with a big red flower on his body. Behind him was a long bridal procession.

The joyous suona was accompanied by the continuous sound of firecrackers. It was extremely lively.

The bridal sedan carried by eight people was very stable.

After an unknown period of time, Ji Zhao, who was already drowsy, suddenly felt weightless.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found that she was still sitting in the bridal sedan. She silently patted her chest.

“Ah Tao, we’re home.”

After the bridal sedan stopped, Shen Yao chuckled.

“I know.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly.

After entering the lively central room of the Shen family, the two of them began to pay their respects.

Shen Dashan and Zhao Lanhua, who were sitting at the head of the table, could not stop smiling.

“The ceremony is complete. Send them into the bridal chamber! ”

For some reason, Ji Zhao felt her cheeks burning when she heard the word bridal chamber.

She couldn’t tell if this feeling was anticipation or apprehension.

After an unknown period of time, Ji Zhao, who was beginning to feel sleepy again, suddenly jolted.

As the footsteps got closer, she became more and more nervous.

“Ah Tao.” Zhao Lanhua brought Eldest Sister-in-law Shen and Second Sister-in-law Shen into the new room.

“Mother?”

Sister-in-law Shen smiled and helped her lift the veil. Sister-in-law Shen immediately handed her a bowl of dumplings.

“Are you hungry?” Zhao Lanhua looked at her and asked with a loving smile.

‘Yes, a little.”

This morning, before she could wake up, she was woken up by Aunt Guihua.

Later on, she did not even drink a drop of water. Now, she really felt hungry.

“Ah Tao, try this dumpling. Our mother made it herself!” Second Sister-in-law Shen eagerly handed the bowl of dumplings to Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao obediently took the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, and took a bite. She subconsciously frowned.

“Is it raw?”

“It’s rawO!” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly.

“Good child- ‘

Only then did Ji Zhao react—

“Mother, look, Ah Tao’s face is red!” Second Sister-in-law Shen covered her face with a faint smile and teased softly, “Our Ah Tao’s figure is very voluptuous. Mother, just wait to gain two grandchildren in three years!”

“Okay, I’ll be waiting!’ Zhao Lanhua also smiled.

“Mother! Sister-in-law! You…” Ji Zhao was both angry and shy.

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” Zhao Lanhua gave Second Sister-in-law Shen a look. The latter quickly took out a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Ji Zhao.

‘What is this?” Ji Zhao asked curiously.

“Ah Tao, take your time to read it later. We’re going out with Mother to entertain the guests.”

Without waiting for Ji Zhao’s reply, the two sister-in-laws grabbed Zhao Lanhua’s arms and hurried out.

Ji Zhao became even more curious.

She silently flipped open the booklet. When she saw the first page, she felt her face turn red!

She hurriedly closed it and threw it out—

Coincidentally, the booklet landed at Shen Yao’s feet.

“This is?”

“Don’t touch it!

Ji Zhao exclaimed and rushed forward!

However, she had forgotten the length of the wedding dress she was wearing. She staggered and fell into Shen Yao’s arms.

Shen Yao held her waist with one hand and held the booklet with the other. He raised his eyebrows with a faint smile. “Ah Tao, I really didn’t expect you to be so impatient. ”

“I, I, I didn’t…”

Ji Zhao hurriedly pushed him away and turned around to sit by the bed again.

‘Yes?’

“This booklet…” Ji Zhao lowered her eyes, her tone a little flustered and helpless.

“I have an identical booklet too.” Shen Yao suddenly leaned close to her ear and chuckled.

“Huh?’

“Last night, Eldest Brother and Second Brother asked me to drink with them. Later, Eldest Brother gave me this booklet.” Shen Yao took the opportunity to sit beside her and deliberately lowered his voice. “Ah Tao, let’s study the contents of this booklet after it gets dark, okay? What do you think? Hmm?” His voice was very low, but it could not hide the temptation hidden in it.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.” Shen Yao tapped the tip of her nose affectionately, his smile full of affection.

Before he left, he took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to her.

“This is?”

“Grandfather made peanut crisps. They taste good. ”

Ji Zhao nodded and carefully opened the oiled paper bag. She picked up a piece of peanut crisp and took a small bite.

It was crispy and salty, and the fragrance of peanuts was extremely strong.

“Is it delicious?” Shen Yao suddenly leaned in front of her and asked with a gentle gaze.

“I want to taste it too.”
