A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

When Shen Nian came back in the evening, Xia Tian took a few names he had made a list and went to him for his decision.

"Brother Shen, please help me see which of these names is better?" Xia Tian handed the paper in his hand to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian took it and looked at it carefully, "This Yuejin Pavilion is good."

Xia Tian nodded. "Then let's use this name. I think it's a good name too. Then, Brother Shen, please write a word for me and I'll have someone carve it tomorrow."

Shen Nian nodded and went to the study to write. When she finished, Xia Tian took a look and found that the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and the running script was elegant and unrestrained, which was very consistent with the style of her restaurant.

After finalizing the name, she can find someone to carve the plaque tomorrow.

"Has the restaurant's opening time been set?" Shen Nian pulled Xia Tian to sit down and talk.

"Not yet. I plan to open it next month. I'll go find someone to pick an auspicious date tomorrow."

It is now late June and she plans to open the restaurant in July, which is quite tight.

The main reason is the Autumn Examination in August. Recently, more and more students have come from the capital to take the exam, and she also wants to take this opportunity to make the restaurant famous.

"Well, if you need anything, just tell me. Mu Lin has also returned recently, and Mu Feng and Mu Chen are at your disposal."

"Okay." Xia Tian agreed with a smile.

Shen Nian saw that she was very happy at the moment. He rubbed his hands in his sleeves for a long time, hesitating whether to take them out.

Xia Tian saw that Shen Nian seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't say it, so he was a little curious. Was there something difficult?

"Brother Shen, do you have something to tell me?" She had never seen someone with such a hesitant look.

Shen Nian paused, a blush on his face. Has this been noticed?

Xia Tian looked anxious and urged, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. With our relationship, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

When did Brother Shen become so procrastinating?

Shen Nian pondered for a moment, "Father said the date is set: September 16th."

"What day?" Xia Tian looked confused.

"The day we get married."

"What?" Xia Tian stood up from the stool in surprise, pointing at himself, "Getting married? The two of us?"

Did she hear correctly? Weren't they married before? Why were they getting married again?

"Yeah." Shen Nian reached out his hand and was pulled to sit down again. Then he said slowly, "The time in Liujia Village doesn't count. We just signed the marriage certificate and haven't worshipped heaven and earth yet."

"But, we have been together for so long, is it okay to hold the ceremony now?" Xia Tian was a little confused. Is it possible to hold a wedding ceremony in ancient times?

"It's okay. Only after we worship heaven and earth can we be officially married." Shen Nian was no longer shy at this time.

"But..." Xia Tian was conflicted, but she was not ready yet. This was too sudden. Although she had long called herself Madam Shen Nian, she had always thought that they were just lovers. She did not expect that they would soon become real husband and wife.

"Are you unwilling?" Shen Nian asked softly when he saw Xia Tian's conflicted look.

"Not really." Xia Tian looked up at Shen Nian's face, which was full of anxiety and expectation. "Okay, let's get married."

She was lucky to have such a handsome man and he was rich, so why was she being so pretentious?

After figuring it out, Xia Tian complained with a smile, "Brother Shen, if you have something like this next time, tell me in advance so I can be prepared. You said it so suddenly that it startled me."

"Okay." Shen Nian saw that Xia Tian had recovered, without any forced expression, and silently took out a yellow thing from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Tian.

"What is this?" Xia Tian took it and opened it curiously. "Imperial edict?"

I quickly looked down carefully, "A marriage granted?"

She looked up at Shen Nian in disbelief. How come another imperial decree granting marriage appeared?

"Yes, I asked the emperor for it today." Shen Nian took the imperial edict back, "This way it's legitimate."

This way you won't leave me in the future.

Xia Tian pursed her lips and didn't say anything for a long time. To be honest, although Shen Nian made his own decision without asking for her opinion, she was still a little touched.

At least it shows that she is still important in his heart, otherwise he would not do these things without telling her.

"Brother Shen, you..." Xia Tian didn't know what to say. He took a step forward and hugged Shen Nian, burying his head in Shen Nian's chest, and didn't raise it for a long time.

Shen Nian's body stiffened, then he opened his arms and hugged Xia Tian's shoulders. Neither of them spoke, and they just hugged quietly for a while.

Xia Tian listened to Shen Nian's heartbeat that was like a drum. He felt sweet but also a little embarrassed.

She can be said to have a complete family in this era.

When she returned to Jinglan Garden and lay down on the bed, she was still a little excited and couldn't sleep.

It’s not that I’m excited, but I feel a kind of conflicted and expectant mentality.

She tossed and turned in bed for a long time, replaying everything that happened between her and Shen Nian from the time they met until now like a movie in her mind.

As a result, I felt a little listless when I woke up the next day. I only felt recovered after secretly drinking some spiritual spring water.

After breakfast, Xia Tian prepared some snacks himself and took Ningxiang to Prime Minister Xu’s residence.

In the past half month, she finished the two paintings that Prime Minister Xu and Marquis Wu'an wanted, and today she just happened to deliver them to Prime Minister Xu.

Mrs. Xu happened to be at home. When she saw Xia Tian coming, she warmly welcomed him in.

"What's this, Madam Shen?" Madam Xu watched Xia Tian take the food box from Ningxiang and put it on the table.

"I heard that Mrs. Xu likes delicious food, so I made some snacks myself and brought them for you to try." Xia Tian opened the food box with a smile.

What she brought today were some Cantonese dim sum, which she was going to put on the restaurant menu.

Madam Xu looked at the exquisite dim sum with a smile on her face. Without any hesitation, she picked up her chopsticks and tasted a piece of the fruit. "It tastes really good. I didn't expect that Madam Shen had such a skill."

"As long as Madam likes it, thank you Madam Xu for speaking up for me last time."

This was also the reason why she came in person today. One was to deliver the painting to Prime Minister Xu, and the other was to thank Madam Xu.

She also knew that Prime Minister Xu's family lacked nothing. After considering for a long time, she decided to make a few snacks by herself. It was just a thoughtful gesture after all.

Madam Xu put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "You've really touched my heart. I don't have any other hobbies except these exquisite snacks."

Xia Tian smiled and discussed food with Mrs. Xu for a few words before taking out the painting for Prime Minister Xu.

"This is the painting Prime Minister Xu requested. Madam, please pass it on to the Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Xu has not returned from court yet.

Mrs. Xu didn't even open it to take a look, but asked the maid to bring a box with the prepared silver bills inside.

Xia Tian took it and counted it. There were exactly five of them, each worth one thousand taels of silver.

She pulled out two from the middle and put the others back. "This is enough. The others are my thanks to my wife."

Madam Xu wanted to make friends, so she didn't refuse. "Okay, I'm a generation older than you, so I'll be generous this time. I'll accept the thank-you gift."

I felt even more satisfied with Xia Tian. This girl was very generous. She just refused the three thousand taels of silver. It showed that she was unwilling to owe anyone any favor. It was good that way. Wouldn't it be easier to get to know each other if we interacted with each other?

"That's how it should be."

After finishing the talk, Xia Tian prepared to leave.
