After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 12

The day of Gu Jinchen and Luo Ge's wedding was approaching, and the two of them started preparing.

This was the first time Luo Ge went into town with Gu Jinchen. It just so happened to be market day today, so the streets were very lively and crowded with people everywhere you looked.

"Stay close to me." Worried that Luo Ge would get lost, Gu Jinchen instructed her carefully. He even pulled over a corner of her clothes for her to hold onto.

"Mm..." This treatment was like taking care of a child... Oh well, she obediently grabbed his clothes and followed closely behind him in the end.

The two little ones went to play with Tie Dan and didn't come along.

As they walked, buying things the family needed, her eyes were also looking around at the stalls on the street, paying special attention to those selling chickens and ducks.

She had raised quite a few in her farm space, and just in the past few days the eggs from chickens and ducks alone had produced a lot. There was no way for the family to finish them all themselves, so she had to think of ways to find sales channels.

"Want to buy anything?" Seeing her gaze lingering on the street stalls, Gu Jinchen asked.

"Let's buy some pastries?"

Luo Ge didn't really want anything herself. The things needed for the wedding were already pretty much prepared, just lacking some peanuts, pastries and such to entertain guests.

"Okay."

Because Gu Jinchen had just come out of mourning, they didn't plan to make a big fuss, just set up three to five tables and invite elders from the village and some good friends from the village to eat together.

When they passed by a jewelry store after buying the pastries, Gu Jinchen suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Ge's simply pinned up hair with just a wooden hairpin.

"Wait for me here." Leaving these words, he turned and entered the jewelry store next door.

Not long after, he came out with a small box and handed it to Luo Ge.

"My means are limited for now, I'll buy you better ones in the future."

? Hearing this, Luo Ge blankly took the box. Opening it, she found a delicate butterfly hairpin inside, along with a matching pair of small butterfly earrings.

She could clearly feel a heaviness when picking it up. It was obviously solid, and a silver bangle could become a family heirloom in this era. It goes without saying that this solid hairpin was extremely valuable.

"I can't take this." Thinking so, she hurriedly shoved it back to him.

He had already spent far too much on her, going way beyond her original intention to just fill her belly. She couldn't take any more from him.

Seeing her give the things back, Gu Jinchen's brows locked tight.

"Don't you like it?" He didn't have experience coaxing women. He just heard Li Qiao say a couple times that giving jewelry to your wife makes them happy.

Also seeing that she did lack accessories, he bought them.

Luo Ge shook her head. "It's too valuable."

The hairpin and earrings were very beautiful. What girl wouldn't like pretty things, but it really was too valuable.

"It's nothing. I can afford it, you don't have to worry too much. I can support you."

He wasn't extremely wealthy now, but he could still let his wife eat her fill, dress warmly, and buy some clothes and accessories.

Moreover, he wanted to treat her well.

The reason...he couldn't say clearly. Anyway he just wanted to treat her well, and following his heart was right.

He felt his dad was very correct that a wife is for cherishing and spoiling.

What's more, he felt his wife really was someone that made people want to cherish her badly.

Not waiting for Luo Ge to say anything more, he shoved the things back into her arms and pulled her to walk out of the city.

Looking at the box in her arms, then at the man in front, Luo Ge only felt a warmth in her heart.

She didn't want to fall for him ah, but he said he wanted to support her hmm.

She could only acquiesce from her heart. She had to say, this feeling of being spoiled felt really nice.

However, she would definitely not let him suffer losses because of her.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month.

At this time, their little courtyard was plastered with red double happiness paper cutouts, very festive.

Luo Ge wore the red bridal clothes Gu Jinchen had brought back for her that day. In her hair was an exquisite butterfly hairpin, and a touch of cinnabar rouge on her red lips.

Although simply adorned, it still made people completely unable to look away. Her usually ignorant and innocent soft charms took on an indescribable allure with this red outfit.

Gu Jinchen, who was greeting guests, froze in place when he saw this scene, unable to look away for a long time.

"Haha, I knew it, you see he really is stunned right?" Following Luo Ge out from the room, Wang Sister-In-Law saw this scene and immediately laughed.

Luo Ge's good looks, after this outfit, not to mention men, even she had been confused for a long while.

Naturally shy on her wedding day to begin with, Luo Ge was even more bashful hearing Wang Sister-In-Law's words.

"Sister-in-law Wang." She couldn't help but cry out.

"Hahaha okay okay, sister-in-law won't tease you."

Seeing the bashful bride, the guests also recovered from their astonishment.

The village chief and Li Qiao slapped Gu Jinchen's shoulders together.

"Kid, you're really lucky!"

"Brother Jinchen, you've really struck gold!"

"That's for sure..."

"Big Treasure, your auntie is so pretty. I want to find a wife this pretty in the future too." Hearing the adults' words, Tie Dan also said enviously.

This made the two little ones very smug.

Older Baby: "Of course, she's our family's auntie."

"Our auntie is the best." Second Baby also raised his chin arrogantly.

At this time, the pride in Gu Jinchen's heart was the same as these two little ones.

Naturally his wife was the best.

Li Qiao was right, he really did strike gold.

"The auspicious time is almost here, bride and groom please enter the hall." At this time the elderly clan leader from the village came out to announce. This wedding was presided over by the clan elder with many descendants and great fortune.

Hearing this, Gu Jinchen slowly approached Luo Ge and firmly grasped her hand to lead her into the hall.

Since Luo Ge already lived in the Gu house, and she no longer had family on her maternal side, the ceremony was much simpler.

Omitting the process of picking up the bride, under the auspicious time and witnessed by everyone, the bride and groom only needed to bow to the ancestral tablet to complete the marriage rite.

Gu Jinchen's ancestral tablet was gone, so his grandparents' memorial tablets were placed there.

The relatives and friends also crowded in, surrounding the newlyweds in a circle.

"The auspicious time is here, perform the bows -" Following the clan elder's loud announcement, everyone quieted down.

"First bow, to heaven and earth, husband and wife united!"

Following the cues, Gu Jinchen and Luo Ge together faced outside and bowed down.

"Second bow, to the high altar, full of fortune!"

Another bow to the altar.

"Husband and wife, bow to each other, united by fate for white-haired companionship!"

Witnessed by everyone, the newlyweds stood across from each other and completed the final bow. From now on they were lawfully wedded husband and wife.

"The rite is complete! Enter the bridal chamber!"

As soon as the clan elder finished speaking, Gu Jinchen picked up Luo Ge. Not waiting for the crowd to react and make trouble, he carried Luo Ge back into the room.

"Oh, this kid's reactions are so quick!"

"Hahaha, he's protecting his wife, afraid we'd bully her."

Hearing their words, Gu Jinchen's ears turned a bit red. He carefully placed Luo Ge on the bed.

"You stay in the room and eat something first, I'll be back soon."

The room had already prepared food for Luo Ge. Gu Jinchen's handsome face gradually turned red as he spoke.

Luo Ge was also a little embarrassed and obediently nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the room."

"Remember to call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

...He said as soon as possible, but after greeting the guests and cleaning up the borrowed tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, the sky was already dark.

After closing the courtyard door and settling the two little ones, Gu Jinchen finally returned to the room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Luo Ge nervously pinched her fingers.

Gu Jinchen was also nervous at this time, but with the wine he had drunk, his courage was much greater than usual.

Lowering his eyes to look at his little wife, the two were silent for a long time before he was the first to reach out and hug her into his arms, placing her on his lap.

Lowering his head to meet her eyes, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

He tentatively leaned towards her and planted a kiss on those delicate lips.

At the moment the kiss landed, Luo Ge was noticeably stiffened, but she still closed her eyes and carefully responded awkwardly.

And it was this careful response that completely ignited the fire the man had been suppressing.

The awkward shallow kiss gradually deepened, like a long drought finally seeing rain...

On their wedding night, everything flowed smoothly...

Not until halfway through the night near dawn did a certain person satisfy his little wife by bringing water to clean her body.

Seeing the conspicuous patch of red on the bed, and looking at his little wife who had passed out, the light in his eyes was somewhat pained and remorseful.

But at the same time, his heart was also unprecedentedly satisfied.
