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

The next morning, before dawn, when Xia Tian was still sleeping soundly, Ningxue dug him out of the quilt.

"What time do you want to get up?" Xia Tian hugged the quilt and whined, not wanting to get up.

"It's already early morning, madam, you still have to pay your respects later!"

"Greetings?" How could she have forgotten this? She was now the wife of the Crown Prince of the Marquis' Mansion, and she had to pay her respects to the two great gods of the Marquis' Mansion every day.

Xia Tian slowly got up from the bed and asked, "You're already paying your respects before dawn?"

The beginning of the Mao hour, isn't that five o'clock? It's torture to get up so early even though I don't have to work in the fields!

"It's getting late. We have to pay our respects to the old lady at 5:00 AM. Before that, we have to go to Huarui Hall to pay our respects to the Marquis' wife!" Ruixue explained in a gentle voice while helping her put on her clothes.

After everything was packed, she rushed to Huarui Hall with Ningxiang and Ningxue. The marquis's three concubines and several concubines were already waiting in front of Liu's main house.

After everyone greeted each other, Xia Tian asked curiously, "Why don't you go in? Why are you all standing outside? It's so cold."

Seeing that no one was talking, she had guessed something in her mind. Just as she was about to step forward, Ningxiang secretly grabbed her clothes from behind and whispered, "You can't go in. The Madam may not have packed yet."

Xia Tian curled his lips and said, what do you mean by not cleaning up? Isn't it just a show of force?

But it was the first day after all, and she couldn't be too lively, otherwise she would be accused of disrespecting her elders, which would not be worth it.

Fortunately, Liu didn't go too far. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she asked the maid beside her to call them in.

After listening to Liu's hypocritical concern, everyone rushed to the old lady's yard.

As soon as I left Huarui Hall, I ran into Shen Nian at the gate.

After the two sides greeted each other, Xia Tian walked over to Shen Nian with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"I'll take you to pay my respects to Grandmother."

"We're just about to go, let's go together!"

Liu and the others watched the two people walking side by side as if no one was around, feeling jealous, envious, and even disdainful...

Whatever the case, this morning's greetings went smoothly. The old lady didn't make things difficult for her, but she didn't give her a good look either.

Xia Tian doesn’t care. They are all insignificant people. It doesn’t matter whether they are happy or not!

After greeting each other, the two returned to Jinglan Garden and had breakfast. Shen Nian left for something, and Xia Tian went back to bed to take a nap.

It was already noon when I woke up.

This sleep was so refreshing!

Shen Nian did not come back for lunch. After Xia Tian had his meal, he took Ning Xue for a stroll to Lingyun Pavilion to help digest the food.

When he entered the yard, he didn't see Shen Nian. Just as he was about to ask Ningyue if she could go to the study to find a book to read, he saw Mu Feng appearing from somewhere.

He smiled and saluted, "Madam."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't even call me sister-in-law after not seeing me for a day, right?"

"That's because of the situation. Calling her 'sister-in-law' is against the rules now."

"Okay, whatever you want!" Xia Tian didn't hesitate.

"Can I go to your master's study and find a book to read?"

"Of course, the master said that the lady can come and go freely in Lingyun Pavilion, including the study."

Mu Feng brought her to the door of the study and pushed it open. "Madam, please do as you please."

Xia Tian went into the study, found a few travel books, and didn't go back. He spent the whole afternoon in the study.

He stayed in the study until Shen Nian came back, and then had dinner in Lingyun Pavilion before returning to Jinglan Garden.

Ningxiang saw that they took so long to come back, and asked curiously, "Ningxue, where did you and Madam go? Why did you come back so late?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I was just in Lingyun Pavilion. Madam was reading a book all afternoon, and I was talking to Ningyue."

"Ah? Madam, can you read?" Ningxiang was surprised and asked Ningxue in a low voice.

"Yeah." Ningxue was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

Didn't they say the lady came from a farming family? Why doesn't this seem like it?

Not only is he brave and not stage-frightened, he can also read!

Xia Tian listened to the two girls' discussion and quietly rolled her eyes. The two girls thought she couldn't hear them!

"cough!"

Xia Tian coughed deliberately, and the two girls quickly separated and looked up at her.

"You two should speak louder, I heard everything."

"Madam, we are not, that..." The two were suddenly caught, their faces turned red, and they were embarrassed and didn't know how to start.

Talking about the master behind his back is a big taboo in the Marquis's Mansion.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Didn't your prince say that you two are family? If you have any questions, just ask me directly. There's no need to hide anything." Xia Tian waved his hand indifferently.

"Are you curious about how a peasant girl like me could read?"

"Yeah!" The two nodded embarrassedly.

"I can read. Of course, your prince taught me. Otherwise, how would I know how to read? I have never been to school."

"Really? The prince also taught his wife to read?" This was really strange. The prince never allowed women to get close to him, even the four maids were never allowed to serve him close to him.

"Well, not only do I know how to read, I can also write!"

"Did the prince teach you that?"

"Yes."

"The prince is so good to Madam!" the two girls said enviously.

"I think it's great too." Xia Tian nodded happily.

The master, servant and three of them chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they washed up and went to bed early.

It is October now and the weather has turned cold. Braziers are lit in all the houses.

There was not much entertainment in the evenings in ancient times. Reading to pass the time was okay during the day, but it was really unbearable for the eyes to sit under a dim oil lamp at night, so people usually went to bed early.

Xia Tian estimated that she probably went to bed no later than eight o'clock every day.

I slept too much during the day today and couldn’t fall asleep immediately after lying down.

The bed curtains were drawn and it was pitch dark so I couldn't see anything.

Xia Tian entered the space with confidence, and looked around in the space with his hands behind his back.

The spiritual spring was still the same, the wellhead like a mirror, calm and without ripples.

But she always felt that there seemed to be some changes in the space, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Anyway, she felt that being in it made it seem as if all the pores in her body were open and breathing, and her whole body felt warm and comfortable.

She also found that her five senses seemed to have become much more sensitive. For example, when Ningxiang and Ningxue were whispering today, she was not close to them at all, but she could hear them clearly.

Then there is her sense of smell. She can now smell things that she couldn't smell before.

You can even vaguely tell what seasonings are added to the dish.

That's magic.

This is why she would go into the space and stay for a while whenever she had the chance.

She also discovered that even if she didn't drink the spiritual spring water, as long as she stayed in the space, her body functions would continue to strengthen.

Xia Tian studied the space for a while, and then he thought it was getting late, so he left the space and lay on the bed, thinking about what to do next. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death like this every day, and he probably wouldn't be able to bear it for a long time.

As a result, I fell asleep before I knew it.

The next day, I went to pay my respects early in the morning.

I didn't expect that just as I returned to Jinglanyuan, someone came to cause trouble again!

Hey, just when I was feeling bored, unexpectedly, something came to relieve my boredom.
