My Wife is A Sword God
Chapter 463: Mother-in-law’s Art of Managing HusbandsHoufei Qing, who was already worried about her daughter, felt even more uneasy when she heard that the Emperor had entrusted the Ministry of Rites with the marriage arrangements.
After settling all matters with the Dragon Clan and the Qin family, Houfei Qing said her goodbyes and left.
However, she didn’t leave immediately, but pulled Liu Jianli into a side room.
“What’s wrong, Mother?” Liu Jianli asked quietly.
“Given your mother’s reputation, how could you, my daughter, be so foolish? Not only did you not notice the fire in the backyard, but you’re asking what’s wrong?”
“It’s your father’s fault for letting you practice martial arts and learn swordsmanship, but in the end you don’t understand the ways of the world. What’s the point of becoming the youngest third-tier sword god in history if you can’t even handle your own husband?”
Lan Ningshuang, who was on the side, brought the brewed tea and looked worried, “No, Madam, young master is not like that?”
“Whether it is true or not, in the current crisis, we should work together. It is certain that the Dragon Clan woman will marry into the Qin family.”
“Since we can’t change that, I’ll teach you a few tricks to make the son-in-law devoted to you!” Houfei Qing said confidently, believing that she had the power to do so.
After hearing this, Liu Jianli thought for a moment before nodding slightly.Lan Ningshuang also said, “Madam, please teach the young lady quickly.”
“Of course.”
Houfei Qing continued, “First of all, as I’ve mentioned before, if you want to win a man’s heart, you must first win his stomach. We have an advantage here. After all, the tastes of the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan are different, and they certainly can’t grasp the essence of cooking.”
“It’s also strange that you two are so eager to succeed. The last time we visited the Liu family, you only learned sixty percent of my recipes and stopped. Since we have time today, we’ll use the Qin family kitchen to help you learn the remaining forty percent.”
Lan Ningshuang’s expression changed upon hearing this, as she remembered the disgustingly sweet taste of the dishes she had learned from Madam.
She had already mastered the essence of Madam’s cooking, which was to add a few spoonfuls of sugar no matter what dish she was cooking.
“Madam, perhaps we can discuss cooking later. Time is limited now; you can teach the young lady the rest of the techniques first.” Lan Ningshuang said tactfully, trying to save Houfei Qing’s face.
But Liu Jianli, unaware of such subtleties, said bluntly, “Mother, the food you cook is terrible. Father and husband don’t like it. Ningshuang and I have already learned to cook from the Liu family’s old lady, so there’s no need for further instruction.”
“Miss!” Lan Ningshuang called out awkwardly.
Houfei Qing opened her mouth, but couldn’t utter a word for a while.
After a long time, the awkward atmosphere eased slightly.
“Ningshuang is right. Cooking takes a lot of time. Let’s not dwell on it today.“
“What I’m going to discuss with you next is nothing to be embarrassed about; it’s about marital relations!”
Houfei Qing transformed into an old matronly figure and slowly explained the importance of intimate relations between men and women, emphasizing that it was not only for the sake of marital harmony, but also for the sake of bearing children.
“But when intimacy becomes routine, it naturally becomes boring. When there’s no novelty, men lose interest.”
“There are some tricks here, which can be said to be secrets. If the opportunity arises tonight, you should try them, and I guarantee that the boy will be thoroughly satisfied.”
At this point, Houfei Qing went to the window and, after making sure that no one was around, described those secret techniques.
She thought that Jianli and Ningshuang would blush and feel embarrassed after hearing this, but they both remained calm.
Is that all? This was nothing compared to what Grandma Liu taught, not even comparable to the postures described in the manuals. Lan Ningshuang thought like this and responded with a few words in a respectful manner.
Seeing that the lady’s teacup was empty, Ningshuang bent down to make some tea. However, she accidentally dropped the manual from her arms, presenting the three of them with an indescribable scene.
Liu Jianli and Ningshuang were used to such things, Houfei Qing looked shocked and looked at the illustration and asked, “What is this?”
“Mother, this is ****.” Liu Jianli replied calmly.
Lan Ningshuang calmly picked up the manual and put it away. In her opinion, the Madam’s knowledge should be comparable to Granny Liu’s. Even if she saw these things, she wouldn’t panic like she and Miss did at the beginning.
But who could have thought that Lan Ningshuang looked at Houfei Qing again, only to see her eyes dodge, and her face turned crimson under the candlelight.
Doesn’t Madam know these things? It shouldn’t be.
“Madam?” Lan Ningshuang called out.
“Ah?” Houfei Qing snapped out of her daze and said hesitantly, “Do you usually read these?”
Lan Ningshuang replied truthfully, “When we were in Jinyang City, the relationship between the young lady and the young master wasn’t what it is now.”
“When I saw the young miss desperately trying to figure out how to get along with the young master, I followed the advice of the maids at home and bought some story books.”
“The young miss imitated the women in them, and her relationship with the young master became even deeper.”
“Lan Ningshuang, bring out those story books for me to see,” Houfei Qing said with a blush.
After taking the storybook, Houfei Qing flipped through the pages, sometimes widening her beautiful eyes, sometimes turning her head away as she couldn’t bear to look straight at them, “How can women do the poses in them?”
“I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the young lady.” Lan Ningshuang covered her mouth and chuckled.
A hint of pink touched the tips of Liu Jianli’s ears, and her vermilion lips parted slightly, “Originally, I also thought that only those who practiced martial arts could perform these moves. But in reality, it’s not that difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Houfei Qing looked incredulous. How could she have such an understanding without even trying?
“Well, that’s fine then. It seems that mother has nothing to teach you about marital affairs.”
“Next, you must find ways to conceive a child before the Dragon Clan woman arrives.”
“I have asked your father. Even though your cultivation level is too high, it’s very difficult to conceive, but for the Dragon Clan, it’s not easy to have offspring because of their powerful bloodline talent.”
“Take this opportunity before the Dragon Clan woman comes over!” Houfei Qing solemnly reminded.
Li Jianli nodded slightly at the words.
After that, Houfei Qing also mentioned some hearsay about how to increase the chances of conception.
Li Jianli and Lan Ningshuang were both deeply concentrated and kept everything in mind.
They were so engrossed in their conversation that they even skipped dinner.
As night fell, Houfei Qing looked out the window. “It is time for me to leave. You must remember what we talked about and don’t forget.”
“I understand, Mother,” Li Jianli replied.
As she was about to push open the door, Houfei Qing seemed to remember something and turned back. “Ningshuang, do you have any more of that story book?”
Lying on the bed, Qin Feng remembered what Eunuch Li had said during the day and couldn’t help but sigh, “In five days, I will marry Miss Cang. When we first met, how could I have expected such a day?”
“I wonder if Miss Cang will be able to get along with my wife after she marries into the Qin family.”
“Hmm, what’s this smell, why is it so familiar?”
Qin Feng sat up from the bed, followed the scent, and saw Li Jianli, dressed in white, enter the room with a bowl of soup.
“Wife, this soup…”
“It was given by the old lady of the Liu family. Husband, after drinking it, shall we rest early?” Li Jianli flicked her hair aside, her face colored with a faint blush.
Qin Feng’s expression froze, it seemed like he was going to have to work hard again tonight.
