Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

That night, Yue Niang slept well and had a sweet dream.

It was just a pity for Du Wenxiu and her sister, who were huddled on the bed and muttered:

"If I had known, I would have helped her onto the couch so that we could both sleep on the bed and it would be more spacious."

"Yes, now because of concerns about touching her belly, I can only squeeze here, it's so uncomfortable."

"Just bear with it for a while. I'll send her home tomorrow and everything will be fine then."

......

The next morning, everyone saw Yue Niang, who was full of energy, and the two sisters, who looked sleepy.

A Luo said distressedly: "If there is no room in the room, just sleep in the east wing. Why do you have to squeeze in?"

"It's only when we squeeze together that our sister and I seem to have a good relationship, right?" Du Wenchan joked again.

Du Wenxiu glared at her and said, "It was already late last night when we went to bed. The auntie who came here to make trouble couldn't sleep well."

"What's the big deal? We're family, so why should we be so formal?" A Luo asked angrily.

A big pot of sweet porridge was cooked in the morning. After eating it, Yue Niang said she wanted to leave, but Du Wenxiu insisted on sending her off in a carriage.

The two of them struggled for a while, but Yue Niang finally couldn't resist Du Wenxiu's insistence, so she got in the car and left.

Yue Niang went back and wrote a letter to Chi Linghua. A few days later, Chi Linghua showed up in Dongxing County again, making the county magistrate very nervous.

But when he came, he did not allow Yue Niang to go out again and only allowed her to stay at home to take care of the pregnancy, which inevitably added to Yue Niang's distress.

Fortunately, his brother and sister-in-law had moved to the city. After Chi Linghua went to visit them, his sister-in-law brought An Jingning to visit them and came to talk with Yue Niang every day.

However, Du Wenxiu did not have such a leisurely time. Yue Niang was pregnant, so she had to take care of the restaurant's affairs and teach Master Zou some new dishes.

We also need to plan some opening activities and prepare to invite a few courtesans to liven up the business and attract some popularity.

As for the name, it naturally followed Wenyuefang, so the restaurant was called Wenyuelou.

After the two of them worked on it, the originally elegant Zang Yaxuan was no longer so elegant, but very down-to-earth.

Most of the furnishings are just imitations of the Hui'an Tower in Shihe Town, but there are some minor differences.

After the restaurant was decorated, Chi Linghua came over and took a look around but did not say anything.

When Yue Niang pressed the issue, she just said, "As long as you are happy."

This made Yue Niang laugh out loud, and she said that she and Du Wenxiu wanted to open such a down-to-earth restaurant.

"As long as the dishes are delicious, whether you are a scholar or a peddler, everyone is welcome in our restaurant."

"It's not like your Zang Ya Xuan, which is so shady that even the laborers don't dare to go in to eat. What can we do about it?"

Chi Linghua raised the corner of his mouth slightly as he looked at Yue Niang lying on the chair with her legs crossed and raised high.

"Grandma is right. I am short-sighted." He said with a smile, stars twinkling in his eyes.

After eating and drinking, Yue Niang wanted to take a rest again, but Qin brought An Jingning to visit her to join in the fun and make her happy.

He had no choice but to sit up and accompany the guest. His head was nodding, and he looked very tired.

Qin found it funny and wanted to leave, but she also reminded him, "Even if you are not feeling well, you have to eat more so that you can grow well."

Yue Niang was extremely tired and could not listen to Qin's instructions. She just responded casually and fell asleep.

Chi Linghua sent Qin away, and when he came back he saw her sleeping soundly on the recliner, so he went forward, picked her up, and gently placed her on the bed.

Then he took a small quilt to cover her belly and sat beside her with a book to read.

Soon the maid outside the door brought in a letter, saying it was a letter from the capital.

Chi Linghua opened the letter, but it asked him to return to Beijing as soon as possible because of an urgent matter.

Looking at Yue Niang who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Chi Linghua couldn't help but frown.

In the evening, when dinner was delivered from the kitchen, Yue Niang was called up. She struggled to wash her face and finally became slightly sober.

Looking at the hazy night outside the window, I had the illusion that I didn't know what day it was.

Turning around and sitting down, she saw Chi Linghua seemed to be worried, so she asked him directly: "Husband, do you have something to tell me?"

Chi Linghua nodded and said, "I just received a letter from the capital this afternoon, ordering me to return quickly."

"Then you can go back." Yue Niang picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and shared it with Chi Linghua, saying nonchalantly.

Chi Linghua frowned even more tightly: "If I go back, can you still do it here alone?"

Yue Niang burst out laughing: "You've only been here for a few days, and you think I can't stay here alone?"

Chi Linghua lowered his head and smiled: "I was thinking the wrong thing."

"My brother and sister-in-law are here, as well as Xiuniang's family. I don't do anything, I just eat and sleep all day long. What else do you have to worry about?"

She stood up again and walked to Chi Linghua's side, leaning against him, as lazy as a cat, with her hands on his neck, and whispering in his ear:

"Just take care of your important matters and finish them as soon as possible. Then we can live a good life behind closed doors and avoid being in constant fear."

Chi Linghua gently put his arms around her waist and uttered a "hmm" sound in his throat, but he didn't dare to tease her again.

The two of them were intimate for a moment, and then Chi Linghua went back to the bedroom and got out a box.

Yue Niang thought it looked familiar and after a closer look she realized it was the box he always kept by the bedside. She didn't know why he took it now and looked at him in confusion.

Chi Linghua smiled and said, "How many times have I hoped that you would open it and ask me, but you always turned a blind eye."

"What is it?" Yue Niang tilted her head to look.

When he opened the box, it was full of bills - silver bills, house deeds and land deeds.

"Oh my god, you are so rich!" Yue Niang's eyes widened, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but scream.

Chi Linghua's smile deepened, and he looked at Yue Niang lovingly: "These are all yours."

Yue Niang opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it. She looked up at Chi Linghua blankly, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Is it because I'm pregnant?" she murmured, her voice as thin as a mosquito, a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

Chi Linghua was shocked, but smiled helplessly: "This wooden box has been with you for a long time. It has always been for you, not because you are pregnant."

"I just brought it out today to remind you." He put his hand on her shoulder and gently held her in his arms.

Yue Niang put her arms around his waist. She remembered that this box always appeared in front of her from time to time, whether she was going to Beijing, in Dongxing County, or on the way back and forth.

At the time, I was quite critical of it, thinking that someone as particular as Chi Linghua would still place things randomly...

Now that I know his painstaking efforts, I can't help but feel at ease.

With a husband like this, what more could a woman ask for!

The things of the past cannot be retrieved, and she is unwilling and does not want to retrieve them. She only wishes to cherish the person in front of her.

Du Wenxiu lost herself in the busyness of day after day, and felt that all kinds of things were thrown before her eyes as soon as she opened her eyes every day.

Not to mention the endless money she could earn, the endless work she had to do left her no time to care about anything else.

In the evening, she was surprised to see Cheng Suying's irrepressible smile on her face. She asked her if she was happy and asked her to tell her so that they could be happy together.
