Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gong Xin quickly adopted a submissive and appeasing demeanor before slipping away, saying, “My dear parents, look at you both, so well-coordinated. Haha! I’ll go check on my brother. Don’t punish him too much; I’ll feel sorry for him. ”
In the village, at the Su family’s residence:
Gu Zi had spent nearly the entire day sleeping, and she felt somewhat better the next day. She managed to get out of bed, though it was already afternoon.
She believed her condition was due to a deficiency in her vitality. The previous day, she had asked Su Shen to prepare some snow lotus, which she now used to make a nutritious stew.
She sliced red dates and ginger, placing them into the snow lotus before setting it on a steamer. Suddenly, she remembered that her sister-in-law had given her a gift to open on her wedding night. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about it until now.
The stew needed some time to cook, and Lele was engrossed in watching television in the living room. It was a good opportunity for Gu Zi to go upstairs and retrieve the gift. It would also serve as an opportunity to express her gratitude to her sister-in-law.
When she went upstairs to retrieve the red box she intended to open, Su Shen entered the room. She glanced up, realizing her husband had returned early.
She asked, “Why are you back so early today?”
Su Shen walked over to her, enveloping her in his arms and planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. He replied, “I’m not busy today. What’s this?”
Seeing that her husband had noticed the red box in her hand, Gu Zi warmly invited him to join her, saying, “It’s a wedding night gift from my sister-in-law. I forgot about it, but now we can open it together.”
She opened the box, revealing a pair of exquisitely handcrafted sachets. At first glance, the embroidered patterns appeared incredibly intricate and lifelike, showcasing exceptional folk artistry.
However, upon closer inspection, Gu Zi was left dumbfounded. Her pupils dilated, and her cheeks grew warm. The meticulously embroidered designs depicted explicit sexual scenes. On the left sachet, two naked figures were entwined intimately, while on the right, a man was positioned behind a woman.
Gu Zi recalled reading about these sachets in “Dream of the Red Chamber” they were known as “Embroidered Spring Pouches.”
These were a form of sex education, where older female family members or mothers would use these pouches to enlighten newlyweds about sexual matters. Inside the pouches were often aphrodisiacs and various substances to enhance desire.
