Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

The Qin family is a well-known family in Cangzhou, and the people who come here are either rich or noble.

Who wouldn’t want to seize such an opportunity and meet someone who suits their heart?

Of course, there is someone else here besides Liu Siyu.

She doesn't know how to do anything and doesn't have the intention to do so.

The most important thing is that she is not familiar with these people.

The mosquito repellent cream has been given out and we have almost finished touring the West Courtyard.

I wanted to find a quiet corner to hide away by myself.

But unexpectedly, Ziyuan called him after he had just taken a few steps.

Liu Siyu saw Ziyuan hurriedly catching up and teased her with a smile.

"You don't want to greet your little sisters anymore?"

Zi Yuan seemed to hold Liu Siyu's arm very affectionately.

"They can meet anytime. You've come here with great difficulty, so of course I have to cherish the time I spend with you."

Zi Yuan acted so cordially that it was as if the two of them were best friends who had grown up together and had become inseparable.

Liu Siyu didn't think too much about it and said with a smile: "You are most familiar with the Qin Mansion, why don't you find a quiet place to sit down and chat!"

Zi Yuan's smile was slightly hesitant. She agreed with her mouth, but her eyes wandered among the crowd.

Although Han Dongyi's personality is a bit awkward, he is nice to his friends.

He is quite popular in Cangzhou and is currently playing the game of tossing pots with a few friends.

Zi Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Siyu, you see they are playing pot tossing over there, why don't we go and have a look too."

Liu Siyu thought Ziyuan wanted to use this opportunity to observe Han Dongyi. Considering that the two families had already discussed the marriage, she had no reason to be a stumbling block.

Squeezed in the crowd, Zi Yuan's eyes always wandered over Han Dongyi.

A blush occasionally appeared on her cheeks.

Liu Siyu looked a little puzzled. The two families had just discussed the marriage, and judging from Ziyuan's appearance, it was obviously the first time she met Han Dongyi.

It can't be love at first sight!

Liu Siyu has never experienced love at first sight, and doesn't really believe in falling in love with someone at first sight.

However, the activity of pitching pots was quite interesting. Seeing that Han Dongyi was quite skilled, Liu Siyu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Han Dongyi immediately responded with a bright smile.

Zi Yuan looked at Liu Siyu with an ambiguous look when she saw this, but her face still looked innocent.

After the first round, Han Dongyi won, and when he looked at Liu Siyu, his face was full of pride.

He even squeezed next to Liu Siyu and whispered, "You look nicely dressed today. You don't look so shabby anymore."

Liu Siyu glared at him in dissatisfaction, snorted, and ignored him.

Han Dongyi didn't think too much about it. After he finished speaking, he realized that it was not appropriate to say such words in such an occasion, and he smiled slightly awkwardly.

He said flatteringly, "Do you want to try pitching pots?"

Liu Siyu really wanted to slap this idiot. How could she, a country girl, know how to play pot-tossing?

You ask even though you already know the answer, isn't this just looking for trouble?

He said coldly: "No."

Han Dongyi knew that he had brought up a stupid topic and touched his nose in embarrassment.

Seeing Liu Siyu's face darken instantly, he immediately smiled and said, "I mean I'll teach you."

Liu Siyu was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.

Liu Siyu didn't believe that Han Dongyi didn't know about the engagement between the Han and Qin families.

Teaching your fiancée how to play pot-throwing in front of her, wouldn't that just make her hate you?

He pulled Ziyuan over and said, "Let's go and have a look somewhere else."

Zi Yuan looked at Liu Siyu, then at Han Dongyi, apologized with a sweet smile, and then left with Liu Siyu.

Han Dongyi spread his hands innocently. He didn't mean it. It was Liu Siyu's fault for always scolding him. He was used to the way of getting along with Liu Siyu.

At first, the joke was just blurted out, but Liu Siyu got angry unexpectedly.

After leaving the crowd, Zi Yuan took Liu Siyu to a more remote rockery.

As if unintentionally asking, "Sister Siyu, what do you think of Young Master Han?"

"Not bad. Apart from being a bit rude, there isn't much of a problem with his character."

Liu Siyu told the truth.

"you like him?"

Zi Yuan was silent for a moment, "Our marriage has been decided, you have to marry me whether you like it or not."

Although he spoke with a helpless tone, he was actually quite happy in his heart.

Han Dongyi doesn't look like a deep-minded person, and he looks good too.

The most important thing is that although she is a daughter of the Qin family, she is a concubine's daughter after all, and her mother is not favored.

The best option in the future is to marry a second wife who is of equal status, or to marry a bastard from another family.

If her stepmother was a little more cruel, she would probably send her to a wealthy family as a concubine.

None of these three options is as good as marrying the eldest son of the Han family as his legal wife.

Although the Han family's strength is far behind that of the Qin family, Han Dongyi is the eldest master of the Han family after all.

Once she gets married, she will be a legitimate wife. If the Han family wants to gain a foothold in Cangzhou, they cannot do without the support of the Qin family, and her position will be very stable.

Liu Siyu had no idea what Ziyuan was thinking.

But I always feel something is weird in my heart. The way this little girl looks at Han Dongyi clearly shows her love for him, so why does she look so bitter when talking about marriage?

Does she look down on the Han family's background?

Liu Siyu sighed inwardly, thinking that it was not her business to take care of this matter.

It’s the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. So what if Zi Yuan doesn’t like it?

The daughter of a concubine has no ability to resist at all.

The two were silent for a while, and Zi Yuan started the conversation again.

With Zi Yuan's deliberate efforts, the two of them got along quite well.

The sun gradually set and the sky gradually darkened.

As people were drinking, many of them felt drunk and used the excuse of taking a walk by the lotus pond.

The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is already mid-June in the Gregorian calendar. Although mosquitoes are not as rampant as in July and August, they are still quite annoying.

Although the ladies' arms and legs were covered by clothes, their faces and necks were always exposed.

Therefore, most people will stay in the pavilion with the gauze curtains lowered, and with the blessing of sandalwood, they will not be bothered by mosquitoes.

But Liu Siyu insisted on pulling Ziyuan out of the pavilion.

Zi Yuan frowned slightly, "Let's go to the pavilion. Going to the lotus pond now will only feed the mosquitoes."

Liu Siyu shook her head and raised her voice slightly.

"You've applied mosquito repellent, so just sit there and relax."

"Does that really work?"

Ziyuan still didn't quite believe that the mosquito repellent cream could really drive away all mosquitoes.

Liu Siyu smiled mysteriously, "I have other magic weapons to repel mosquitoes."

Zi Yuan looked curious and wondered in her heart whether it was a sachet or something like that.

Everyone wears something like this, but the effect is not that obvious in an open space outside the house.

Zi Yuan holds such an attitude mainly because people of this era are still exploring the concept of incense burning, which is not as developed as in the Song Dynasty.

In summer, ordinary people usually use a rope made of mugwort to light a fire to repel mosquitoes. As the name suggests, it is a mosquito repellent rope.

Most of the people who burn incense are wealthy and noble.
