Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Si Niang didn't expect to see Qin Haoxi so soon, but the next day Qin Haoxi came back to the restaurant for dinner.

When he came back, she was swinging her legs on the recliner at the door of her room. Her eyes were a little sore from reading, so she covered her face with the half-read book and squinted to relieve the pain.

The book was taken away, and she opened her eyes. A handsome face with a smile was facing her, a little too close.

In the eyes of everyone who had seen the two of them fighting since childhood, it was nothing.

But after Si Niang heard that he wanted to marry her, she turned her head away when she saw this face, for fear of meeting his murderous eyes.

"Why are you back?" Si Niang asked awkwardly.

"Why, you don't welcome me?" Qin Haoxi took her book and took a look at it, then read out the title "Love Fate Pa"

He was about to flip through the contents when Si Niang remembered what book she was reading. She reached out to grab it, but Qin Haoxi raised his hand and Si Niang missed it.

Qin Haoxi turned around and quickly flipped through the book, chuckling. This was just an ordinary storybook, telling a love story between a talented scholar and a beautiful woman.

However, the kissing and hugging scenes in the book were nothing compared to the bold and pornographic novels written for men that he had read.

Si Niang saw him flipping through a book, and angrily pushed the rocking chair into the room, closed the door, and ignored Qin Haoxi.

Qin Haoxi saw that she was angry, but he was not panicked. He knocked on the door gently as he used to coax her.

"Are you angry?" No response as usual.

He added, "It's just a storybook. What's so good about hiding it? I'll bring you a better storybook next time I come back, okay?"

The door opened with a click, and a fragrant breeze was brought out with it. Qin Haoxi's breathing was disrupted by the fragrant smell.

"I forgive you. Come in." Si Niang sat back on the rocking chair. Qin Haoxi stepped into the room.

This place used to be where the three sisters, Si Niang and her husband, lived together. Later, sister Jixiang got married, and he and his brother moved out.

This room became Si Niang's room alone, and Wu Niang moved to the room where he and his brother had lived before.

The room was a bit crowded when the three of us lived there before, but now that the other two people's belongings have been moved out, the room is much emptier.

The room was tidy. Qin Haoxi looked with satisfaction at the many items on the desk under the open window facing the yard. They were all gifts from him to Si Niang.

The most eye-catching thing is a row of small pottery figures that look like Si Niang. Every year, Sister Jixiang takes him and Si Niang to make pottery figures together, saying that it is to record everyone's growth. They make one every year.

Later, she became too busy to have time, so he took Si Niang and her two sisters there. It was he who gave Si Niang the gift of pottery when she grew up.

Wu Niang's belongings were moved to her room, and his belongings were kept safe in the house rented by his brother.

Then there was a nest of straw chicks, a bit like the ones she and Wu Niang had raised before, as well as various other decorative items. The four treasures of the study on the desk were also bought by him for Si Niang.

He suddenly remembered that he had not made a pottery figure this year, so he picked up the pottery figure he made last year and admired it in his hands. He gently rubbed the pottery figure in his hand with his thumb.

Seeing him like that, Si Niang glared at him and said, "What are you doing? If you touch me randomly, the color on the pottery will be blurred."

Qin Haoxi smiled and put the little pottery figurine into his arms in front of her. Si Niang glared at him again, stood up and tried to take it back.

Qin Haoxi let her hands grope his body, and then said something that made Si Niang freeze.

"If you touch me again, I will hug you in front of everyone."

Si Niang stopped hurriedly, and then looked towards the yard. Song Ersao came out from time to time to check the temperature of the charcoal stove, the helpers squatted in the corner of the yard to prepare the ingredients, and there were people coming in and out of the kitchen to serve the dishes.

No one noticed them, so she was relieved.

She punched his chest in anger and said, "Why did you take my clay figurine away?"

Qin Haoxi kicked the door on one side to block the two figures, then grabbed Si Niang's hand that had hit him. Holding the soft hand in his hand, his heart was moved and he didn't want to let go.

Si Niang wanted to pull it out, but couldn't. Qin Haoxi leaned close to her and whispered, "Let me hold it. You left yesterday, and I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep. I'll take your little pottery figurine away. When I get back, I'll take it out and let you see it when I miss you."

When Si Niang heard what he said, her face was burned by fire and she stuttered, "You, you, how could you say such a thing."

Qin Haoxi sighed softly and let go of her hand. Si Niang felt that his hand was so hot when he held it. When he let go, she felt a little disappointed.

She asked in confusion, "Why are you sighing?"

Qin Haoxi looked at her with deep eyes that made her panic, "What if I fail to pass the exam and Uncle Song wants to marry you to someone else?"

When Si Niang heard this, she was a little at a loss. She had never thought about getting married before Brother Haoxi said he wanted to marry her yesterday. Her sister said that her parents were not allowed to marry them off so early.

Seeing that Si Niang didn't say anything, Qin Haoxi didn't rush and sat on her recliner, crossed his legs like her, and rocked the chair.

Si Niang was a little angry when she saw him like that. He said such things and acted so leisurely. Was it just to make her think too much?

She was so angry that she wanted to hit him again, but Qin Haoxi looked at her steadily, so she couldn't put her hands down. She turned her head away and said, "I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm going to find my sister."

Qin Haoxi said calmly, "When you were sleeping with a book covering your head, I saw her going out with the music sheet. She must have gone to see Master Hu."

Si Niang stopped talking and sat down on the chair at the desk, glaring at him angrily. Qin Haoxi stood up from the recliner and looked down at Si Niang.

Si Niang turned her head away from him, and he took her hand, "I'll discuss this with my brother first, and ask him to ask Uncle Song and Aunt for their opinions, okay?

If possible, we can get engaged first, and I will marry you when I pass the imperial examination."

Si Niang was a little panicked. She had not thought about getting engaged. When she thought about her parents knowing that Brother Haoxi wanted to marry her, her heart started pounding again.

She didn't have any prejudice against family background, nor did she think there was any difference between them. She was just afraid that others would know that their relationship had deteriorated.

But Qin Haoxi needs to consider much further.
