Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

In the evening, the couple who slept in each other's arms woke up, looked at each other, and couldn't help but kiss each other again.

By the time they stopped, the sun was setting. The couple packed up and went to the dining room for dinner.

When the two arrived, Mr. He and Mr. He had already arrived. Seeing the couple coming hand in hand,

Mr. He smiled and said, "It seems that Third Brother's illness is really not serious."

When Mr. He thought of what Doctor Qin had told him when he came to check his pulse, about how loving his youngest son and his wife were, he couldn't help but smile.

"It must be because the third daughter-in-law took good care of her."

He Pingdu bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, father and brother. This time it is just a minor illness, but it is indeed as father said, it is my wife who has taken good care of me."

A few people were chatting, and soon the servants had prepared the food. Everyone sat down and had a warm dinner with laughter and conversation.

After dinner, the couple took a walk in the mansion to digest the food. The He Mansion was very large, and Song Sanniang had always visited a few places when she came here before, so she had never had a good look around.

But due to the light at night, the visual effect was average, and she was just taking a walk, so she just took a look casually.

He Pingdu took her to a three-story observation tower. Song Sanniang had seen this tower before, which was much taller than other buildings in the He Mansion, but this was her first time here.

He Pingdu took her directly to the third floor, which was decorated like a study room, with bookshelves, desks and some calligraphy and paintings hanging on one side.

There is a carpet on one side, and then several low tables are placed on it, with various tea sets on them, probably for people to drink tea. Walking out of the balcony, you can see the candlelit night view of the county town.

He Pingdu and Song Sanniang stood on the balcony and watched the night view outside. He Pingdu hugged Song Sanniang from behind.

"This is the place I used to come to the most. I like standing here and watching the hustle and bustle of people outside, watching others busy themselves."

Song Sanniang smiled and said, "Can you see me at that time?"

He Pingdu smiled and said, "Of course not, you were in the West City before, and I can only overlook the surroundings here.

But I did see you, and you made a difference in my mood."

Song Sanniang looked up with a bit of doubt, He Pingdu lowered his head and kissed her before saying,

"When I first met you, I was not doing well. I had thought that I would study hard and achieve fame at a young age.

I wanted to take a step further and have a place in the officialdom like my father and brother, and make a difference. But my father and mother told me to wait until Brother Yin took the exam first.

I can understand that. As someone who enjoys the support of my family, I am willing to make sacrifices. In fact, this is also a helpless move, but I am still unwilling to accept it. My life has temporarily stagnated.

Until I saw you, you were so tenacious, so young, but so sensible, taking care of your sister, working hard to make money,

Every time I see you, you are smiling and welcoming every guest so enthusiastically. I feel that I am not as good as you.

I have everything, but I still trap myself because of fame and fortune. Is the meaning of life really just imperial examinations?

At that time, I began to reflect, and later I figured it out. Someone in the family needed to sacrifice. My eldest and second brothers were already officials, and Yin'er was the eldest son and grandson of the He family. He would be the one to support the He family in the future, and I was the most suitable person to take over the family business.

If I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice. That is why I have you. "

Song Sanniang didn't expect He Pingdu to be in such a state at that time. He still looked calm and composed. She turned around and hugged him back, and the two of them just hugged each other quietly.

The next day, He Pingdu and his wife did not stay in the mansion. They went out and planned to stroll around the county town. They did not take a carriage, but walked from the mansion to the surrounding areas as if taking a stroll.

For Song Sanniang, this was like revisiting an old place. Everything was so familiar, yet it felt a little strange.

This is where she made her fortune, where everything began for her. Thinking of those days when she worked at the stall, Song Sanniang felt emotional. The two of them went to the East Market first. Nothing in the East Market had changed, it was still the same.

Song Sanniang saw many old acquaintances, such as the former pork seller, Aunt Wu who often helped her to look after the stall, and Uncle Wang.

The old lady who sold tofu and jelly that she used to like is no longer there, and now her daughter-in-law is selling them.

Aunt Wu was still selling mulberries, and Uncle Wang was still selling peaches. The two of them were still at their stalls next to each other, chatting and laughing from time to time.

Song Sanniang came to the stall of the two people, and they both stared at her in amazement.

Aunt Wu was the first to react and shouted happily, "Oh, it's you, Sanniang." Then she stood up and

Song Sanniang smiled and greeted the two. Aunt Wu looked at He Pingdu beside her and felt a little awkward, not knowing how to call them.

Song Sanniang pinched He Pingdu, and He Pingdu immediately smiled warmly.

Song Sanniang introduced, "This is my husband, He Pingdu, Aunt Wu, and Uncle Wang, just call him Third Master."

Everyone in the county town knew that Miss Song, who used to sell sugar water here, was very lucky. She sold sugar water and became a flower seller, opened a shop, and even married the third master of the He family.

When people occasionally talk about it, Aunt Wu and Uncle Wang can proudly talk about the time when they set up a stall with Song Sanniang, and everyone praises them.

But if they really told them to say anything to Mr. He San, they would feel a little scared. Seeing their reservedness, He Pingdu had no choice but to say, "Don't be reserved, Mr. He is just an ordinary person."

Although he said so, the two of them certainly didn't really treat him as an ordinary person. Aunt Wu tried to ignore his existence and talked to Song Sanniang.

"Why are you here today? Look at you, you are really as beautiful as a flower. I always thought you were pretty, but you just didn't like to dress up. Now you look so beautiful dressed up like this." Aunt Wu smiled and talked to Song Sanniang as if she was talking to her own child.

In fact, Song Sanniang didn't dress up much today, but the material and color of the clothes she wore were completely different from the coarse linen clothes she wore when she was selling things at the stall before. Naturally, she was a completely different person.

"I will be staying in He Mansion for a while recently, so I came to take a look and see you guys.

Are you all doing well? If you need any help, please tell me. I will definitely help you if I can. " Song Sanniang replied with a smile, then looked at Uncle Wang beside her.

Uncle Wang scratched his head and said, "We are still the same as always. There is nothing we can help you with." Then he thanked them repeatedly.

Aunt Wu also said, "What can happen to us? It's okay."

Song Sanniang chatted with the two for a few more words and then left with He Pingdu. After the two left, the surrounding stall owners gathered around and asked questions.

"That's the Third Master and the Third Madam of the He Mansion?"

"You are so lucky to know the Third Madam."

"You are so stupid. Let Mr. He San arrange a job for you. You just rejected such a good opportunity to make money. You are so stupid."

"That's right. A little bit of reward from Mr. He San would be enough for you to spend for a year or two, but you didn't seize the opportunity."

Everyone started talking about it.

Aunt Wu and Uncle Wang ignored them and let everyone talk about their own things. Everyone was having fun teasing each other, but they knew their own place and how could they be so shameless as to let others assign them work for them.

He Pingdu and his wife went to Xishi again, the place where they first met.
