A life of ups and downs is pure joy

The wind was raging like a mountain and the rain was pouring like a river. Fortunately, everyone had made preparations in advance and had set up camp and erected tents before the heavy rain came.

"I wonder if those tents can withstand such heavy rain!" Lin Qinghuan sat bored in the carriage. Although he was under a tree, he still didn't dare to lift the curtain.

"Don't worry, those are tents used for marching, they are very durable." Xiao Yi said beside her.

"I don't know what they are doing over there. It's raining so hard that I can't hear anything." Lin Qinghuan was very envious of Xiao Qiannan at this moment. She didn't have to sit with this taciturn person.

"Come here, why are you so far away from me?" Xiao Yi stretched out his hand towards Lin Qinghuan. The girl could only pout and helplessly let him pull her back.

"What's wrong? Is it boring to listen to the rain with me?" Xiao Yi lowered his head and kissed Lin Qinghuan lightly, then asked.

"Not really, it's just that the sound of the rain is too loud. I feel like I'm isolated from the world." Lin Qinghuan looked at him with some displeasure, probably because he showed his disdain too obviously.

"I think the sound of rain is very nice." Xiao Yi said while holding Lin Qinghuan's waist with one hand.

Lin Qinghuan had a bad feeling in her heart, and before she could respond, her mouth was blocked by Xiao Yi's kiss again.

Xiao Yi's hands began to wander up and down her body dishonestly again, and Lin Qinghuan kept holding him down anxiously.

"This... this is in the carriage..." Lin Qinghuan said quickly while catching his breath.

"What happened in the carriage? No one dares to come and disturb you and me." After saying this, Xiao Yi kissed her seductive little pink mouth deeply again.

"Um...don't...husband..." Lin Qinghuan felt so desperate that she couldn't express it. What on earth was this man trying to do? He slowly took off her clothes.

Lin Qinghuan's small hand stopped pushing Xiao Yi's big hand nervously, and slowly stopped.

Xiao Yi lowered his head and kissed her lightly. Lin Qinghuan felt a shock all over her body, and then she collapsed without any resistance. Her hands also hugged the man's neck tightly, and he ran rampant on her.

"Um...ah...husband...I..." Lin Qinghuan clenched her teeth tightly, not wanting to scream out. After all, for her, such behavior was only separated from public by a piece of wood.

"Huan'er, scream out, I love to hear it." Xiao Yi mischievously began to lick Lin Qinghuan's very sensitive ears again.

"Well...don't...I'm so embarrassed...husband..." The more Lin Qinghuan clenched her teeth, the more mischievous Xiao Yi became.

Lin Qinghuan, whose face was flushed as if she had drunk green plum wine, was almost out of her mind because of Xiao Yi's torment. She looked at the man in front of her and unconsciously felt some different throbbing in her heart towards him. Then she bit his shoulder hard, trying to sober herself up.

"Huan'er, you really were so cruel to your husband!" Xiao Yi pinched Lin Qinghuan's little face in pain.

Lin Qinghuan put on his clothes and sat by the carriage window, lying there and began to listen to the rain. Fortunately, the rain was heavy, so the absurd sound just now was not enough for people to listen to.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy because you bit me?" Xiao Yi also sat next to her and asked, helping her pull up the gauze dress that had slipped down to her shoulders.

"You deserve to be bitten to death." Lin Qinghuan looked at him with some resentment.

"If I die, you will be a beautiful young widow." Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan jokingly, whose face still had a blush.

"Husband, could you please not come without saying so next time? What if Nan'er comes suddenly? How am I going to live my life in the future?" Lin Qinghuan felt more and more wronged the more she thought about it.

"Huan'er, I did this because I like you. I promise I won't bully you next time..." Xiao Yi saw that Lin Qinghuan seemed really unhappy and was about to cry, so he quickly hugged her and coaxed her.

"I would let you do what you want if we were inside the house, but this... after all... is outside." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hao Huan'er, I was wrong. Don't cry anymore." Xiao Yi admitted his mistake with some self-blame, thinking that she was just a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The rain turned from a loud noise to a drizzle. Seeing that Xiao Yi admitted his mistake so honestly, Lin Qinghuan stopped being angry with him and dozed off in his arms.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The carriage door was knocked loudly. "Brother, sister-in-law, the rain has stopped, come down and have something to eat." Xiao Qiannan knew her limits and knew to knock on the door first.

"Okay, got it." Xiao Yi said in a low voice, afraid that this reckless guy would wake up the sleeping woman in his arms.

"I seem to smell the aroma of grilled fish..." Lin Qinghuan murmured with his eyes closed.

"Your nose is more sensitive than Xiaobai's." Xiao Yi said as he scratched the tip of her nose lovingly.

By the time the two big Buddhas got off the carriage, Lin Qingyi and Xiao Qiannan had already grilled several delicious big fish. Lin Ancai and Dayuan were still fighting in the river, and a group of subordinates stood on the shore and were not allowed to go into the river to help.

Hong Qi handed a plate of fish meat with bones removed to Lin Qinghuan, and then handed a freshly skewered fish to Xiao Yi, "Help me grill it."

"Hehe..." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this. Xiao Yi took the fresh fish with a confused look on his face. He had never done such a thing in his more than 20 years of life.

"Big brother, turn the fish over, it's burnt." Xiao Qiannan smelled a burnt smell and found the source at a glance. He ran over in panic and said.

"It's only been roasted for a while, how come it's turned black?" Xiao Yi could hardly open his eyes because of the smoke from the fire.

"Forget it, big brother, let me do it. When we were little, my second brother, brother Jue and I always asked you to roast sweet potatoes and fish with us, but you ignored us. Do you regret it now?" Xiao Qiannan couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Xiao Yi to give her the fish, and kept muttering while roasting it.

"God, go sit over there." Lin Qingyi walked over, pointed at Lin Qinghuan's seat, and asked Xiao Yi to make room for her.

Lin Qinghuan smiled as he watched the despised Xiao Yi slowly walk towards him.

"Husband, is grilling fish fun?" Lin Qinghuan moved her butt to the side to make room for Xiao Yiting.

"I can't even open my eyes because of the smoke." Xiao Yi's eyes were still a little red at this time. Lin Qinghuan couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She was used to seeing him with an icy face and an arrogant look every day, so it was quite a contrast to see him suddenly being caught off guard like this.

"Huan'er, look at the sky." Xiao Yi rubbed the hair on her forehead and said.

"Ah! It's Feihong, so beautiful!" Lin Qinghuan said in surprise, and quickly closed his eyes and put his hands together to make a wish.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yi looked at her strangely and asked.

"I'm going to pay a visit to Queen Rainbow and ask her to fulfill my wish." Lin Qinghuan said playfully while looking at Xiao Yi.

"Just tell me what you want, no need to beg her." Xiao Yi said.

Lin Qinghuan rolled her eyes at him, thinking that he must have become stupid from reading too much and had no romantic sense at all.

The group ate, drank and rested for a while, then got ready to set off, so that they could reach the next county before dark. Xiao Qiannan returned to Lin Qinghuan's carriage and lay on Lin Qinghuan's legs, frowning and complaining that her stomach hurt.

"What should I do? I should have asked Sister Mo to make some black pills for me to take with me." Lin Qinghuan wiped Xiao Qiannan's sweat with a towel.

"Nan'er, why do you suddenly have a stomachache? What are the symptoms?" Xiao Yi also asked.

"Maybe I ate too much grilled fish at noon. Anyway, my stomach feels churning like there's a little person inside, stumbling and beating me with a stick." Xiao Qiannan was a little weak from the pain, and her voice was suppressed in her throat.

"Hongqi." Lin Qinghuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted.

"What's wrong, girl?" Hong Qi rode his horse to Lin Qinghuan's carriage and asked.

Xiao Yi stopped the carriage.

"Are there any small villages or larger counties ahead? Nan'er has a severe stomachache, we need to find a doctor." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Did you have a stomachache?" Hong Qi glanced at Xiao Qiannan's face and then said.

"She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She said it might have been because she ate too much fish," said Lin Qinghuan.

"Girl, if that's the case, I do have a way, but we have to postpone our trip," said Hong Qi.

"Okay." Xiao Qiannan responded weakly, raising her little hand.

Hong Qi gave Xiao Qiannan a pill, and then helped her walk to the nearby forest as she was in so much pain that she couldn't take care of herself. Lin Qinghuan also got off the carriage and wanted to follow, but Xiao Yi held her back.

"You don't have to go with her. I know what she gave Nan'er to eat. Let's just wait." Xiao Yi said.

Lin Qinghuan looked at him in confusion.

"Why did you stop?" Lin Qingyi and Lin Ancai also walked over yawning.

"Nan'er has a stomachache. Hongqi gave her some medicine and took her over there." Lin Qinghuan said, pointing to the woods.

"It's Ma Ren Wan. She must have eaten too much grilled fish, especially the one that was burnt by Xiao's brother-in-law. She ate it all. She is usually spoiled. If she eats too much of this, she will have a stomachache." Lin Qingyi said.

"What are Ma Ren Wan?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"You can ask your husband...I'm so sleepy." Lin Qingyi yawned and went back to the carriage with Lin Ancai.

Lin Qinghuan turned around and looked at Xiao Yi. Dayuan, who was standing beside him, looked a little embarrassed and quickly led the horse to the side to eat grass.

"What is that? Why did Fourth Sister ask me to ask you?" Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi curiously.

"Silly girl, I guess they will be here for a while, let's go for a walk." Xiao Yi said while holding Lin Qinghuan's hand.

Seeing this, Lin Qinghuan did not ask any further questions and went with Xiao Yi to take a few light walks on the road next to him to stretch their muscles.

"Sister, have you really forgotten him now?" Lin Ancai lifted the curtain and muttered as he looked at the backs of Lin Qinghuan and Xiao Yi holding hands.

"What can we do? It's impossible for the two of them to be together. Huan'er still has to live a good life. Besides, I see that brother-in-law Xiao treats her well." Lin Qingyi said with her eyes closed.

"But sister, are you really happy?" Lin Ancai said.

"Don't you look very happy?" Lin Qingyi said.

Lin Ancai shook his head with a vague understanding, then lowered the carriage curtain.

About an incense stick of time later, Hong Qi came back with Xiao Qiannan, and the group set off again.

"Nan'er, are you feeling better after taking the Ma Ren Pills?" Lin Qinghuan asked when he saw that Xiao Qiannan had stopped sweating.

"Well...sister-in-law, how did you know I ate this? Who else knew?" Xiao Qiannan asked with a shocked and flushed face.

"You know everything! What's wrong?" Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi, who had his eyes closed and didn't say anything, in confusion, and then asked.

"Does Brother Ancai know about this too?" Xiao Qiannan asked Lin Qinghuan embarrassedly. Xiao Yi opened his eyes and glanced at his sister.

"I know!" Lin Qinghuan nodded.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu... I'm so embarrassed, big brother, I'm so embarrassed." Xiao Qiannan started crying instantly and buried her face in Lin Qinghuan's legs.

Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi, "Nan'er, don't cry. What's shameful about taking medicine to treat illness? I grew up drinking bowls of medicine soup, so I would have been too embarrassed to see people." Lin Qinghuan comforted him in a kind voice.

"Sister-in-law, I'm taking medicine for constipation, which is different from you. I'm ashamed." Xiao Qiannan raised her tear-stained face and said.

Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"People have three urgent needs, which is normal. An was only ten years old and his buttocks were bruised by being beaten by his father. My second sister and I applied medicine to him every day! It's okay, don't cry." Lin Qinghuan said.

"He is ten years old, and you are ten years old too. Why did you apply medicine to him? Don't you have any elders?" Xiao Qiannan raised her head and asked curiously with tears in her eyes.

"My mother passed away after giving birth to Ancai and me. My father is not at home for many years. Aunt Xue is in poor health. Nanny Dong is old and her eyesight is blurry. Ancai has always been afraid of his older brothers and sisters. My third sister is a cold-tempered person, and my fourth sister is also a careless person. Only my second sister and I can take care of him." Lin Qinghuan recalled that although she was in poor health over the years, she was able to take good care of her younger brothers and sisters.

"Oh, so you have been without a mother since childhood?" Xiao Qiannan said with some sympathy.

"Well, but Aunt Xue is like the biological mother of An Cai and me. The younger brother and sister I am going back to pick up this time are Aunt Xue's children." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of Lin Qingru's chubby face.

Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan. It seemed that he had never asked about Lin Qinghuan's childhood.

"No wonder you brothers and sisters are so close." Xiao Qiannan had forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and now began to pester Lin Qinghuan to talk about his childhood.

"Then what? Do you know who spread the rumor in the end?" Xiao Qiannan asked.

"It's possible to find out if you want to, but it's meaningless. There's nothing wrong with them liking my elder brother. The mistake is that two people who have no destiny are arranged by God to meet each other. Sister Jingshu, who came to Beijing with me, is still unmarried." Lin Qinghuan said.

"He is also a lovesick man, but your elder brother is different from others. He is a prince consort and cannot take concubines. Even if he did not marry a princess, he could still take Chen Jingshu into his courtyard." Xiao Qiannan sighed.

"It's good to be a princess. You don't have to worry about the trivial matters in your husband's yard. It's nice to be together for a lifetime." Lin Qinghuan said casually.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... What's happening in my big brother's yard has caused my sister-in-law so much trouble, and my big brother is still sitting here!" Xiao Qiannan said deliberately while looking at Lin Qinghuan.

"I... I was just sighing, not targeting anyone. You see, there are so many things going on in my father's yard. My grandmother wrote to me some time ago, and the two concubines even quarreled and fought!" Lin Qinghuan glanced at Xiao Yi who was looking at her with some embarrassment, then took a fruit and pretended to eat it.

"Sister-in-law, tell me more about An... Tell me about some fun things you did when you were little..."
