Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!

"It's called fried chicken." Jiang Qiu cut a piece for him to taste. "I heard the villagers call you village chief, so I followed suit. Try it. My fried chicken is definitely a secret recipe that I have passed down to me. There is no other person in the world who can make it. How does it taste?"

She was a little unsure about pastries and other things, but fried chicken was only introduced from abroad in the 21st century, so she was very confident about it.

The village chief had a goatee and half-black hair, but a kind smile. He took the fried chicken and tasted it. His half-closed eyes widened: "How can the chicken be so crispy?"

Jiang Qiu was quite proud: "Exclusive secret recipe."

The villagers of He Juren Village were amazed by the village chief's wide knowledge and wanted to try the food, but the high price kept them silent.

Even though the villagers lived a good life, it could not change the fact that they were an ordinary family. One tael of silver was enough for the food expenses of a family of five. How could they spend a month's food in exchange for such a delicacy?

Even if it was dragon meat from heaven, they would not want it.

"But your price is a little bit high, young lady," said the village chief.

"My master is of high status, and the dishes he taught me are also very valuable." Jiang Qiu smiled gently, with a hint of pride in his eyes. Even though he was a refugee, he was neither humble nor overbearing in front of the village. "But today I am destined to meet you. If you really want to eat, you can barter for me."

"Barter?"

"Yes, for example, let our family of six rest on clean beds for a night, boil many buckets of bath water, etc." Jiang Qiu's purpose was exposed.

The village chief also showed a hint of smile in his eyes: "How many fried chickens do you have?"

"There are only six left now, first come first served." Jiang Qiu said.

The village chief asked the villagers if there was anyone who would accept them as his guest for a night's sleep.

Some people are willing, some resist.

Let them sleep for one night and get fried chicken worth one or two taels of silver. It’s a sure win!

"I want one, can I get one in the bath water?" someone asked.

"OK, no problem."

Jiang Qiu smiled.

Woo!

She was finally able to take a good bath.

Most people were unwilling to provide accommodation, but the village chief had an old yard and was willing to let them stay there. Jiang Qiu was very grateful.

Hidden in a remote corner of the village, the walls on all four sides are mottled, and the years have carved their marks on them, with irregular cracks spreading like a spider web.

Jiang Qiu pushed the door tentatively.

The courtyard gate creaked, and a few low tiled houses came into view.

The yard is paved with bluestone slabs. In the open space in the middle, there is a stone table with a missing corner and several stone benches with missing legs. There is some firewood piled in the corner. It looks a bit messy and shabby, but it is full of the breath of life.

If it were in her previous life, Jiang Qiu would have left without hesitation when faced with such a house. But now things are different from the past. She would feel very happy to have a bed to sleep on, clean bedding, and plenty of water for bathing.

The requirements are so low!

Since Jiang Qiu was talking about a family of six, Lu Pandi also came over. Everyone took a bath in turn. Jiang Qiu was not in a hurry and waited until the end to take a bath. She really wanted to take a longer bath, so she hugged Yaoer, who finished her bath first, and played with her.

As a baby, Yao'er could do nothing but eat, drink and sleep all day. Now his face is rosy and chubby, and he looks very happy. Jiang Qiu pinched his little face and said, "When will you grow up and make money?"

Yaoer didn't understand at all. She giggled and waved her hands in response, as if to say "Aunt is so funny."

Jiang Qiu: “…”

She made a weird expression to scare Yaoer.

With aggressive claws.

Yaoer was so amused that he kicked his legs, he was extremely happy.

Jiang Qiu was silent.

Scratching his cheek.

No, this kid is very brave!

So she turned her face and appeared in front of Yaoer again. She played with him for a long time. Jiang Qiu was tired. Taking care of children was really physical work. Fortunately, she didn't come here with several children in her arms, otherwise she would really go crazy.

"Jiang Qiu." Lu Ce called out his full name.

"What?" Jiang Qiu replied.

“Make an enrollment brochure.”

"Oh, here we come."

There was a dim candle lit in the room. Jiang Qiu looked at it and asked in surprise, "Where did the candle come from?"

"It was cheated."

"sharp."

Jiang Qiu sat in front of him and said, "List them out first, and then classify them together at the end, okay?"

"no problem."

The two discussed for a while, and finally heard Qian calling Jiang Qiu to take a bath.

Jiang Qiu immediately put aside his work and put Yao'er in Lu Ce's arms: "Take good care of Yao'er. I'm going to take a shower."

His tone was full of joy.

I can have a good bath now!

Alas.

Happy.

Jiang Qiu was very slow when taking a shower. She wished she had a bath towel to rub her whole body clean. She also washed her hair. She would blow it dry with the night breeze first. If it didn't dry enough, she would ask Lu Ce to use a hair dryer to blow it dry.

After taking a shower, Jiang Qiu felt that he had definitely lost five pounds.

It's all mud.

Hey.

Jiang Qiu changed three buckets of water, it was unbearable to watch.

She was planning to make some delicious food tomorrow to compensate the people who boiled hot water for her to take a bath.

After taking a bath, Jiang Qiu also took off her usual dark disguise. When Qian saw Jiang Qiu's original appearance, she was shocked: "Qiu Niang, you are really beautiful now, more beautiful than before you were exiled."

When she first met Qiu Niang, Qian also thought she was a beauty, but she didn't feel much in her heart. Now that she saw her, she was truly absolutely beautiful, radiating her charm from the inside out, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.

She had fair skin and rosy cheeks, and looked in good health. Her eyes were like lake water after spring rain. The dim warm yellow light in the study shone lightly on her face, making her skin look as delicate as jade and her facial features more bright and attractive.

Qian really felt that her son had delayed her development.

Such a beautiful girl with a good personality, what kind of husband can she not want?

Jiang Qiu couldn't help laughing when he was praised, his eyebrows and eyes were curved in laughter.

Just then, Lu Ce came out of the study.

Qian asked Lu Ce: "Cer, is Qiu Niang beautiful?"

Lu Ce frowned: "It's just a shell."

Jiang Qiu: I knew it!

Nothing good can come out of his mouth.

Jiang Qiu bared his teeth at him.

There was a hint of smile in Lu Ce's eyes.

This skin does not originally belong to Jiang Qiu, so how can you talk about whether it is beautiful or not.

He only knew that the female ghost inside was very beautiful.

"It's getting late, mother. Yao'er has fallen asleep. You should take him to rest."

"Yeah." Qian carried Yaoer back to the house.

Jiang Qiu realized it later and pointed at Lu Ce, then at himself: "We sleep in the same room?!"

"if not?"

"The influence of a single man and a single woman is so bad..."

"We are husband and wife."

Lu Ce emphasized this reality.

Jiang Qiu was stunned.

Could it be that she was going to spend her wedding night with Lu Ce here?

This is this...

Not so good.

It's so embarrassing~

Is there any affection between the two of them? It is possible that he has someone in his heart. Is it really appropriate to do that?

But they are husband and wife. According to normal procedures, they should have performed the Zhougong ceremony long ago. It has been delayed for so long, it’s time to make up for it.

Jiang Qiu was struggling, wondering how to reject Lu Ce.
