"People living in the countryside usually go to the mountains. Ordinary country folk don't have that much money to buy meat and practice cooking. If you want more ingredients, don't you have to find a way yourself?"

This reason - absolutely!

They haven't thought about this question yet, so they will have to ask their brother-in-law when they get back.

Fei Yuning suddenly had an idea: "Hey~ After our scientific expedition is over, on the way back to Sand City, we can ask my brother-in-law to lead us into the mountains to hunt!"

Zhong Jing immediately agreed: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!"

Mu Xiong: "When we set out from Sand City, it was winter, not suitable for hunting. By the time we returned, it was spring, everything was reviving, and animals came out to look for food."

"Speaking of which, my brother-in-law's barbecue is also amazing. Before, we ate poultry raised at home, but now we hunt game and let my brother-in-law roast it. The taste... slurp..." Zhongjing couldn't help slurping his saliva. When thinking of Xin Ye's cooking skills, few people would not drool.

The topic suddenly turned back to food. Yan Qixing suspected that they did it on purpose to change the subject and prevent him from finding out the news.

Yan Qixing's eyes darkened. Hua Murong happened to be sitting next to him. In order not to interrupt the conversation of the three of them, he turned sideways and chatted with Hua Murong: "Brother Hua, please forgive my impoliteness. I have something I don't understand. I wonder if Brother Hua can explain it to me?"

Hua Murong smiled slightly and said calmly: "Brother Yan, please tell me. If it is inconvenient to answer, I will not answer."

This was the first time Yan Qixing had met a scholar who spoke so frankly. He was silent for a moment, but decided to continue: "According to my observation, you brothers should come from good families, and marriage requires a good match. Why are Brother Hua's parents willing to accept a country man as their son-in-law?

Marrying their daughter to a farmer for a low salary, I'm sure many noble families in Sand City will laugh at them, don't Brother Hua's parents care?"

"My family really doesn't care about matching up with someone of equal social status. As long as the other person is someone we like and has good character, my parents don't object after an assessment.

My brother-in-law is not a high-ranking person, but he has good character and ability. As you can see, he has conquered everyone in our family with his skills. "

"Your sister and brother-in-law have been engaged since they were young?"

Hua Murong understood what he meant and thought that Yi'er's marriage to her brother-in-law was an arrangement arranged by the elders in the family and they kept their promise.

"No, Brother Yan, you misunderstood. My sister is not an ordinary boudoir girl. We women in Sand City have the same pleasure as women in the martial arts world, which is different from the boudoir girls in the capital.

They can practice martial arts, horse racing, manage the family business, and can end their marriage at any time as long as both parties have discussed it properly. The government will not be too harsh on women remarrying.

In short, the women in our Sand City are not bound by rules and etiquette like the women in the capital or other places."

Yan Qixing was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Sand City was special, he didn't expect it to be so special. From what he heard about Sand City, it was a relatively free place and it was very desirable.

He...would he like to find some time to go incognito and visit Sand City to experience it for himself?

Yan Qixing immediately thought it was a good idea, and decided to make the arrangements after he had dealt with the urgent matters at hand.

"So, your sister met your brother-in-law when she was out and fell in love with him. If it were in the capital, this would be considered unmatched adultery, but in Sand City it is a common thing. Is that right?"

When Hua Murong heard the words "unmatched marriage", her brows were furrowed and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. But after listening to his subsequent questions, she realized that he had no ill intentions and was simply curious about the rules and etiquette of marriage between men and women in Shacheng. Her brows relaxed and she suddenly had the idea of ​​promoting the beauty of her hometown to her friends.

Hua Murong's expression relaxed, with a hint of joy between her eyebrows, and her tone became much lighter: "Yes, before marriage, men and women can get along as long as they don't cross the line.

Confirm that the other person is the one you want to marry, then inform your family. If your family has no objection, you can make an engagement according to etiquette and then you can get married."

"What if they object? Wouldn't that lead to a lot of couples being separated? Wouldn't that affect the family?"

"It depends on the man's intention. If he can convince his family, then everything will be fine. If his family is strongly opposed, it depends on whether he chooses the family or the woman. It all depends on his choice.

After all, there are not many families in Shacheng headed by women, but there are a few exceptions, and they have become role models in Shacheng.

If it really doesn’t work, it’s easy for the noble families to deal with the trouble, especially when the other party’s family affairs are weaker than their own.”

"This..." Yan Qixing felt that among these ways of dealing with the problem, except for the first one which was impossible, the second one was similar to the way the noble families in the capital dealt with it.

Hua Murong smiled calmly: "So, it all depends on the person. If you know that your family doesn't agree to marry someone who is not a good match for you, but you still insist on going, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.

I can't bear it, it caused trouble, and led to the downfall of the family. I can only say - it's what I deserve!"

"Brother Hua's parents are open-minded and have no prejudice against family background. Therefore, your sister met your brother-in-law when she was out. Your brother-in-law passed the assessment and was recognized by everyone in the Hua family?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law is my sister's savior. At that time, my sister was seriously injured and lost all her memories. She also had no identity card. Under such circumstances, my brother-in-law married her in order to take better care of her.

If I hadn't met the couple when I left Shacheng last year, we wouldn't have known that my sister had gotten into trouble and got married.

I have said before that my brother-in-law must be tested, otherwise, it is not impossible for them to divorce and my sister to marry a better man. "

Yan Qixing nodded to show that he understood, and curiously asked, "I wonder how Brother Hua evaluated your brother-in-law?"

For some reason, he suddenly thought of his sister who had been missing for many years. He thought he could find his sister in his lifetime. Regardless of whether she was married or not, he felt that he could refer to and learn from Brother Hua's assessment method and carefully examine his brother-in-law. If it didn't work, he could find another man for his sister. If his sister was willing, it would not be impossible to support her with a few more men.

“My sister didn’t remember us, so I produced her identification evidence to prove that she was my sister, but I didn’t reveal my identity either. I followed my sister and brother-in-law to the countryside and lived with them for a while.

I saw with my own eyes how my brother-in-law took care of my sister every day, and I was sure that they were truly in love and that my brother-in-law was a man I could trust, so I approved of him. ”

Yan Qixing said unhappily, "Brother Hua, are you deliberately keeping us in suspense?"

Hua Murong smiled and did not deny it: "It's nothing, actually. My brother-in-law is from the countryside and certainly doesn't have servants to serve him. But my brother-in-law can't afford servants, so he takes care of my sister's food and daily life himself.

He is the one who cooks and does the housework at home. My father-in-law not only does not object, but also supervises my brother-in-law to do more work, for fear of tiring my sister.

My sister was responsible for eating and drinking every day, and then she studied how to farm. Because she liked to eat sweet potatoes, my brother-in-law planted them for her because he was worried that he would not be able to find them in the mountains. As they were planting, my sister discovered that sweet potatoes were a high-yield food, so she asked her brother-in-law to report to the county magistrate, and then the sweet potato promotion came about. "

Hua Murong became more and more proud as she spoke, with a hint of bragging in her tone.
