Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

After that day, Ruyu really stopped planning to take a concubine for Yuanmou.

The relationship between the couple soon returned to normal.

Those people who came to propose marriage one after another thought there was hope.

Now that Ruyu no longer supports him, Su Yunluo simply closes the door and refuses to see visitors.

No matter you are a gold medal matchmaker or a top matchmaker, even if you have a silver tongue that can turn straw into gold bars and the dead into the living, you can't even see the Su family, so you can't do anything.

However, do you think those people will just let it go?

That would be underestimating them.

If this road is blocked, try another one.

Su Yunluo was able to raise a second princess and also a martial arts champion.

Then the rest of the Su family naturally became popular as well!

Wang Yuanmou was already married and had no intention of taking a concubine.

Doesn’t he have two younger brothers?

One of them is nineteen years old this year and has already won two first prizes. In two years, he will also take part in the palace examination. It is very likely that he will win three first prizes and become the number one scholar, just like his elder brother.

By then, if a family produces two top scholars, one in literature and one in martial arts, their future will be immeasurable.

Isn't it better to seize the opportunity to become Wang Qiming's legal wife while Wang Qiming is still unmarried than to be Wang Yuanmou's concubine?

There is also the third child of Su Yunluo’s family, who is only eighteen years old this year.

But it is said that the business has already expanded overseas.

Moreover, Su Yunluo fully supports his business.

If you need funds, provide funds; if you need goods, provide goods.

Although the third brother will just be a businessman in the future.

But with two top scholar brothers backing him up, how bad could it be?

So, a group of matchmakers integrated their resources and started to propose marriage to Wang Qiming and Wang Jinbao.

The woman who came to propose marriage this time was no longer the second or third daughter of a certain master.

They are all legitimate daughters, not only with first-class appearance and family background, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and household management.

This time, Su Yunluo was much more polite to the matchmakers.

After all, the second and third sons are indeed not young anymore.

In ancient times, some children were already able to help with cooking when they were eighteen or nineteen years old.

But the second and third sons have never even held a girl's hand.

Su Yunluo called several married women including Zhao Zhaodi, Bai Zhi, Hong Xiu and others to help him with the review.

After selecting for a few days, I picked out a few that I was satisfied with and were good in all aspects, and then showed them to the second and third children.

"Qiming, you are not young anymore, come and take a look at these girls, are there any that you like?"

Wang Qiming didn't even look at her: "Mother, I have no plans to get married yet."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have any plans now. Let's take a look first. What if we are right?"

"That's impossible. I just want to study hard and pass the exam."

"Getting married and having children will not affect your chances of passing the imperial examinations. Look at your elder brother, he's a good example."

"Mother, I really don't want to get married so early. You should ask my third brother. He often travels far away, so he is more suitable to get married earlier."

The second brother refused to listen, and Su Yunluo was no longer able to convince him, so he had to turn to the third brother.

"Jinbao, your eldest brother was married to Ruyu when he was your age. Do you want to try hard to find me a third daughter-in-law as soon as possible? I have a lot of resources here. Take a look and see if there is anyone that suits your taste?" Su Yunluo said as he placed the portrait in front of the third brother.

Wang Jinbao glanced at the thick stack of portraits and said with a smile, "Mother, the ones you choose are naturally the best. But marrying a wife is a big deal and must be considered carefully. Mother, please leave these portraits here and I will take a look at them slowly in the evening, okay?"

Su Yunluo saw that there was hope.

He immediately said, "Okay, okay, you are right. We do need to choose carefully. The backgrounds of those girls are all written on the back of the portraits. You can also use them as a reference."

"Okay, mother, I will definitely take a closer look. I'll get back to you tomorrow."

"Go, go, go."

Su Yunluo went back happily to rest.

The next morning, I went to find the third brother happily.

But he found that the door of the third brother's room was ajar, so he pushed it open and went in.

The portraits handed to him yesterday were neatly placed on the table, untouched.

Looking at the room again, it seemed much emptier.

Su Yunluo had a bad feeling, so he walked to the side and opened the closet, but the closet was also empty!

Only then did she realize that she might have been fooled by her son.

"eighteen!"

Eighteen suddenly appeared beside her and handed her a letter: "This is from the Third Young Master."

"Where did he go?" Su Yunluo asked as he opened the envelope.

Eighteen touched his chin and said, "It should be written in the letter."

Sure enough, it was clearly written in the letter.

"Mother, when you read this letter, I will have already gone on a long journey. This time I plan to go all the way west to see if the world is really the same as the map you gave me. Remember that your son will come back in one year at the earliest and three years at the latest."

After reading it, Su Yunluo was so angry that he crumpled the letter into a ball. "This bastard, even if he doesn't want to get married, he doesn't have to do this. He's been gone for several years, and he'll be an old man when he comes back! Who will want him then?"

Eighteen's body stiffened slightly.

He was deeply hurt by the three words "old man".

The soul was struck!

Su Yunluo didn't notice and continued to say, "How long has he been gone? Go and catch him back for me now!"

After waiting for a while and getting no answer, Su Yunluo turned his head to look at Eighteen.

"What's the matter with you? Why aren't you talking?"

Eighteen looked at her aggrievedly: "Madam, I am also an old man, right?"

Su Yunluo: “Ah?”

"I've become an old man. Is my wife starting to dislike me?"

"Haha, how could that be! If you are old, then I am even older. How can I be qualified to look down on you?"

"Why hasn't the lady accepted me completely yet?"

"Well... I'm going to be a grandmother soon... I..."

"So what? Wu Zetian was still favoring her male concubine at the age of eighty. Besides, the lady is only older in generation, but not actually that old."

"We'll talk about this later. Go get the third brother back for me first." Su Yunluo tried to move Eighteen Branches out to avoid the topic.

But Shi Ba refused to listen to her and stood there motionless: "Madam, please tell me first, what is wrong with me?"

"You are good in every way. It's my own problem."

"How could there be a problem, Madam? If there is a problem, it must be my problem!"

"It's really none of your problem."

"Then ma'am, can you tell me what the problem is?"

"I... feel guilty. I won't be able to rest in peace until the Seventeenth has recovered as before." Su Yunluo admitted that he was making excuses.

But the guilt towards Seventeen is absolutely real.

Another three years passed, and she still hadn't found a way to completely revive Seventeen.

Seventeen still wakes up in the middle of the night and goes crazy from time to time.

But because he was locked in a special cage, he couldn't hurt others, so he started hurting himself.

Although they were all minor injuries, Su Yunluo still felt very distressed when he saw the wounds on his arms and legs.

Talking about Seventeen, Eighteen also felt uncomfortable.

Finally, he stopped chasing Su Yunluo for results.

Su Yunluo didn't dare to ask him to chase after the Third Brother, but said, "I suddenly remembered a prescription that might help Seventeen's recovery. I'm going to the study now, don't let anyone disturb me before I come out."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have a tiger chasing her from behind, and she walked very fast.

Eighteen saw through it but didn't say anything, just followed silently behind.

What can I do? I have waited for so many years, so I can wait a few more years.

Anyway, he has plenty of patience.

Of course, even if he lost his patience, what could he do?

Want to give up?

Absolutely impossible!

……

Su Yunluo's statement that he wanted to study the prescription was false, the real reason was that he was hiding in the study.

Since the second and third sons didn't want to be arranged by her to go on blind dates, she just let it go and didn't bother with it anymore.

But she let it go, but the matchmakers couldn't.

Naturally, I went to see him every day and wanted a result.

Su Yunluo asked someone to reply and said that the second and third sons had no plans to get married yet, so they would not delay the girl.

If there is more, there will be none.

The matchmakers asked for a meeting several times, but they couldn't meet Su Yunluo, so they had to give up.

After ten days or so, the door finally became quiet.

"Sister Yunluo." That day, Su Yunluo had just picked up a medical book to read when she heard Xiangxiang calling her at the door.

Su Yunluo said unhappily: "Why, haven't they given up yet?"

"No, Sister Yunluo, it's Sister Baiwei who is here." Xiang Xiang said happily, covering her mouth.

The next second, the study door opened: "Bai Wei is here? Why don't you ask her to come directly to my study?"

"Sister Bai Wei came here with the Second Prince. The two of them seemed to be... having a quarrel." Xiang Xiang told Su Yunluo what he had seen truthfully.

"Really? Let's go and take a look." Su Yunluo walked in front, and Xiang Xiang followed closely behind.

For three years, the relationship between Bai Wei and the Second Prince has always been one of mutual respect.

The second prince devoted all his energy to building the country.

As soon as the Chinese New Year was over, Su Yunluo's high-yield crops were promoted nationwide, and a policy of encouragement was introduced: taxes were reduced by half in the first three years.

In other words, not only did the output of grain crops increase, but the amount handed over to the state actually decreased.

As a result, the people had a lot more food.

In three years, not only did the people have enough food to eat every day, but the fertility rate also increased greatly.

The Second Prince's status in the eyes of the people instantly reached the highest level.

Apart from building and governing the country, the second prince would go to small teahouses and restaurants to listen to gossip. He would go home early in the evening to spend time with his wife and children.

Unfortunately, no matter how he behaved, Bai Wei still kept her distance from him.

Just respect each other as guests and never share a bed.

The Second Prince was depressed and looked for Su Yunluo several times, asking for his help.

Su Yunluo couldn't force Bai Wei to compromise, could he? He could only say that he had tried his best.

That is, when meeting Bai Wei, say something good about the Second Prince.

But Bai Wei seemed to have made up her mind and never made any concessions.
