Jiang Tunan was speechless for a moment. The person who had just spoken should be Xiao Mingrui, the fourth young master of the Xiao family. He was so handsome, and his facial features seemed to be carefully carved. There was a kind of beauty that only existed in portraits, which immediately hit her...heart.

"Dad, it seems that this good niece is still no match for your precious son. As soon as Xiao Mingli came back, he forgot all about brotherhood."

Xiao Mingxu leaned on the stool, looking at Jiang Tunan with a smile.

"In my opinion, what's the point of a baby marriage? Why not let Xiao Mingli do it? One is your precious son and the other is your good niece. Isn't this a perfect match? Haha..."

"Mingxu! Stop talking!"

Madam Xiao was no longer smiling as before, her face flushed with anger. Xiao Huaimin was thinking, although the marriage was arranged in the past, he now has four sons, the eldest son is married, and the remaining three are of the right age, so who should be the one to marry?

Jiang Tunan was thinking, the four men in the Xiao family are all good looking, if the original owner really wanted to marry into the Xiao family, she couldn't be blamed. After all, the appearance of the Xiao family members was confusing to him.

Question the original owner, understand the original owner, become... No, no, no, you can't become, one of these four people is the male protagonist! Wake up, Jiang Tunan!

"Uncle, I just wanted to say that I don't want to change my name."

"this..."

"Miss Jiang, do you think the name I gave you is not good?"

Don’t you know whether it’s good or not?

"No, ma'am, you misunderstood."

Yes, I just think you are not good enough.

Jiang Tunan showed the standard fake smile she usually showed during her internship in the hospital. When dealing with unreasonable patients, we medical workers can only go along with her, hahahaha.

"Mother, why don't you listen to what Miss Jiang has to say first?"

Xiao Mingli also spoke for Jiang Tunan at this time. His eyes looked very much like Xiao Huaimin's, but at this moment there was no emotion in those similar eyes.

"Uncle Xiao, I think everyone has misunderstood. I think it's enough to change one character, from "男" in man to "南" in south wind."

Since you are using the original owner's body, you should live well on behalf of the original owner. There is no need to "pursue men" or "keep your words". Live for yourself.

"What's the difference?"

There was confusion in Xiao Mingxu's eyes.

"My name is Jiang Tunan. It's not because there is a male in the Tu family. It's because I soared up to 90,000 miles, broke through the clouds, and carried the blue sky on my back. I am the one who carried the blue sky on my back and no one could stop me. That's why I am Tunan now."

Xiao Mingli's eyes showed different emotions, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Tunan seriously. However, Xiao Mingxu leaned back in his chair and talked a lot, but he couldn't understand.

"Miss Jiang has ever been educated?"

There seemed to be a light flashing in Xiao Huaimin's eyes.

"My dear niece, can you read?"

Are you kidding? I am a college student in the 21st century. I have received nine years of compulsory education. Do you know how to read? That's not...

I really don't seem to recognize it. Modern Chinese characters are all simplified, and I'm not familiar with traditional Chinese characters.

"My family is poor and we don't have enough money to send me to a private school."

Even if she had money, her grandmother, who favored boys over girls, would not be willing to pay for the original owner to go to school.

Xiao Huaimin seemed to have some expectations.

"But I saw from your words just now that you don't sound like an unenlightened person. You said it very well, "Jue Yunqi, Fu Qingtian"! I wonder who can write such a wonderful sentence."

Jiang Tunan: For details, please turn to Unit 2 of the compulsory fifth course of the Chinese textbook published by the People's Education Press. She only knows these few sentences, and she can't recite more.

"When I was a child, a strange man came to our village. His name was emmmm... Xia Hua! He traveled around the world, saw all kinds of interesting things, and collected many literary treasures. The sentence I just said was written by a man named Zhuangzi, called "Xiao Yao You". It was accidentally found by Master Xia Hua during his travels, so I dared to borrow it and use it to explain my name."

When the original owner was born, there were only his biological parents around him. As far as he could remember, he didn't go to his current village until he was six years old. Even if he looked for it, he couldn't find out. Thank you, Huaxia Mom!

"Xia Hua? I see. There actually is such a strange man. I wonder where he is now?"

Xiao Huaimin seemed very interested, and there was a hint of anticipation in Xiao Mingli's eyes.

"He continued to travel around the world."

Jiang Tunan: About five thousand years, doesn’t that mean he is a five thousand year old old man?

"What a shame."

Xiao Huaimin felt a little regretful, and then Xiao Mingli said,

"I am interested in the piece "Xiaoyaoyou"."

"I didn't expect Miss Jiang to have such an adventure."

Xiao Mingrui also said lightly.

"Uncle Xiao, what about my name?"

"Haha, since you have your own ideas, then do it according to your own ideas."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao."

Jiang Tunan sat for a while and then left on the grounds of feeling unwell, so as not to disturb the family from eating.

As soon as he walked out of the flower hall, Jiang Tunan's tense back suddenly collapsed.

I feel so tired, as if I had run 800 meters with a weight. This is really a big challenge for a female college student.

On the other hand, after Jiang Tunan left, the atmosphere in the flower hall did not improve.

"Master, do you really want Jiang Tunan to marry our son?"

"Yes, Dad, do you really think so?"

Except for Xiao Mingyue, the other three were silent.

Xiao Mingyue: Fortunately, I got married early.

"This is the marriage that was arranged when we were children! Brother Jiang has been so kind to me, how can I be a traitor!"

Xiao Mingyue: "Dad, what you said makes sense~"

"Then have you ever thought about our sons? They have a bright future ahead of them. If they marry a farm girl like this, how can they hold their heads up in front of their colleagues? You are ruining their lives!"

Xiao Mingyue: "What mom said makes sense~"

Madam Xiao's eyes were red. She had always known that her husband had arranged a marriage when he was a child, but it was so long ago that she thought it was no longer valid. She also thought that after she gave birth to a daughter, they could become sworn sisters. But she didn't expect that she only gave birth to four sons in her lifetime, and never saw the shadow of a daughter.

Many people on the street saw what that man and Jiang Tunan did that day, and this matter could not be covered up.

Now that the court was in turmoil, many people were eyeing the Xiao family, trying to find a handle to win them over. But she couldn't bear to see her son marry such a vulgar peasant girl. If her son was mediocre, it would be fine, but her sons were all extraordinary and shouldn't be hindered by this old story!

"Unless you make her a concubine, I will turn a blind eye."

When Xiao Huaimin heard this, he was unhappy.

"If Nannan comes in, she must be the principal wife. If I let her be a concubine, how can I face Brother Jiang when I go down there!"

"master!"

Mrs. Xiao shouted loudly at Xiao Huaimin, and her sleeve knocked over the teacup, spilling the tea all over the floor.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two men was becoming increasingly tense, Xiao Mingli began to persuade them.

"Father, mother, please calm down first. We need to think about this matter carefully. Besides, the other party of this child marriage is Miss Jiang, so we have to ask her opinion. Father, do you agree?"

Xiao Huaimin thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Mingli is right. We need to think carefully about this matter and ask Nannan first."

After all, what if Nan Nan looks down on his sons? The eldest son is already married, the second son is promising but just a nerd, the third son is lazy and does not work properly, and the fourth son looks like he owes him eight hundred taels all day long.

If you think this way, it’s possible that you won’t like any of them.

Mrs. Xiao calmed down, and Haitang and Lamei came forward to tidy up the table and changed the teacup for Mrs. Xiao.

"Miss Jiang is an unmarried girl. Living in the Xiao Mansion will damage her reputation. I have an unused house in the west of the city. It would be better to take her there first to avoid gossip."

"No!"

Xiao Huaimin looked forward.

"Nannan has suffered so much on the way to Kyoto. How can we send her away? We must keep her by our side. Besides, she is not in good health. Aren't you trying to kill her?"

"I..."

Madam Xiao finally couldn't help herself and burst into tears.

"This is not good, and that is not good either. She has just been here for a day, and you treat her as important as your own eyes, Xiao Huaimin. Can't you think about your son?"

Xiao Mingli spoke at the right time.

"How about this, we just say Miss Jiang is my mother's cousin, so that other people won't be able to say anything."

When Xiao Huaimin heard this, he thought it was feasible and agreed immediately. Mrs. Xiao was hesitant, and Xiao Mingli continued,

"Mother, the court is not at peace right now. The emperor has yet to appoint a crown prince, and father has not yet taken a stand. If we place Miss Jiang outside at this time, it may cause speculation, which may be detrimental to father."

"It can only be the."

Mrs. Xiao sighed. Now is a time of trouble. She can only be careful at all times and must not make any mistakes.

Unlike in the flower hall, after Jiang Tunan returned, he took Chunhua to learn many things about the current situation of the country.

The country she lived in was called Daxing. The emperor had three sons, but there was no crown prince yet. This was all she knew, and Chunhua didn't know the rest.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't usually gossip with other servants?"

Chunhua’s ability to collect intelligence is too poor.

"My lady, I was just sweeping the floor in the outer courtyard before. Every day I did nothing but sweep the floor. My lady, you don't know that the floor is really big. I can't finish sweeping it."

Jiang Tunan was speechless. Never mind. It seems he will have to explore it on his own.

"Chunhua, can you get me some hot water? I want to wash up."

"Okay girl."

After Chunhua left, Jiang Tunan took off the half copper coin that had been hanging around his neck. He didn't know when it was hung there, but it was clearly in Liu Zhuang's hand when he was lying at the door of Xiao's house.

Jiang Tunan thought that if he were Madam Xiao, he would have taken the half copper coin away when he fainted. Without the token, he would have no evidence and a reason to drive him out. It seemed that Madam Xiao was not that cruel.

Not long after, Chunhua came in carrying a bucket of hot water.

Jiang Tunan: ? Being young is good. When you are 16 or 17 years old, you are full of energy.

After filling the water, Jiang Tunan took a careful hot bath. During the bath, he checked himself for any unusual scars or birthmarks. After all, the original owner had already moved into the male protagonist's house, so it would be reasonable if he had some hidden identity.

I just didn’t expect that although the original owner was a peasant girl, she was clean.

Jiang Tunan changed into the clean clothes that Madam Xiao had just sent her, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and looked at the face in the mirror. It was exactly the same as her original face, except that the original owner's face was a little darker.

Maybe the reason she traveled into the book was because she looked a lot like the original owner?

Jiang Tunan looked at the flickering candlelight and secretly made up his mind: Don't worry, Jiang Tunan, I will live well for you!
