The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Country's Nanlai Paradise

The sun sets in the west, and another day ends. The two small gardens at the door are also planted. Looking at the results, Ye Ling can't help but sigh: "I planted the same way last year, but I didn't get to eat a single bite. I hope I can eat the melons and watermelons I planted myself this year."

"There are also dishes," Wanqi said.

“Yes, there are also vegetables.”

"Sister, it's time for dinner," Qian Qing shouted in the yard.

"Got it," Ye Ling responded and looked towards the river in the distance: "Li Ye, go home for dinner."

"I'll be there soon. You guys go back first." Li Ye responded from a distance. He was making room for the horse so that he wouldn't have to worry about it at night.

Qian Qing went back to cook long ago, and the table was full of delicious food. The three people who came back first washed their hands in the sink in the yard.

Ye Ling entered the first floor of the main building and quickly released Jiuyou: "How was your training today?"

"You should have let me out a long time ago to help you with your work." Jiuyou felt distressed when he saw that Ye Ling was covered in dirt.

"Okay, okay, you go out first. I'll go upstairs to the space to take a shower, change into clean clothes and then eat." Ye Ling said and went out and upstairs.

Qian Qing had already started serving the dishes: "Wanqi, Eighth Sister, have you washed your hands?"

"Washed"

"Then sit down obediently. After dinner, I will give you two a bath. Look, your bodies are covered in dirt. Don't get dirty when playing in the future, otherwise you will not be allowed to go to bed at night," Qian Qing said.

"I understand, Sister Qianqing," Wanqi responded.

Eighth sister just smiled slightly. To be honest, she didn't know how to pay attention to hygiene before. She could only wash a few times a year, and she always went to the river to wash. Her clothes were always dirty because she basically wore the same set of clothes every spring, summer, autumn and winter. But now it's different. She can change clothes every three or four days, and take a bath every few days. Slowly, she learned to integrate into Wanqi's life.

Jiuyou came out and sat at the table first, serving a bowl of soup to each of the two children.

Li Ye came back from the front door and went straight into the kitchen: "What delicious food did Madam make?"

"Go out, go out." Qianqing was still shy.

"No, my eldest sister hasn't come down yet, how can you cook so many kinds of dishes?"

"I learned it. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I have boiled two large pots of water. There is a bathtub in your room. You can fetch water and take a bath at night," Qian Qing said.

"I see. Thank you, ma'am." Li also brought two bowls of rice and went out with a smile: "Brother-in-law, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Everything is fine," Jiuyou replied.

"You haven't woken up for half a year, so you should rest more and don't be too anxious to recover. Come, let's have a bowl of rice each. They don't eat staple food at night," Li Ye said.

"Wanqi doesn't want to eat either?" Jiuyou asked.

"I learned how to lose weight from Qianqing. Eighth sister didn't want to lose weight, so Qianqing brought it to her." Li was helpless.

Wanqi looked at Jiuyou and smiled foolishly: "I have gained weight recently and need to lose weight."

"Why would a child lose weight?" Ye Ling changed his clothes and went downstairs feeling refreshed. "Wanqi, you have to know one thing. Your sister Qianqing lost weight because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to fit into her wedding dress."

"Eldest sister, I'm not fat." Qian Qing came out with a plate of dishes and a bowl of rice: "Here, Eighth sister's rice, the dishes are all ready."

"Hurry up and pick up your chopsticks, let's eat and talk at the same time." Ye Ling decided to maintain her figure and not eat staple food at night. She had finally succeeded in losing weight because of Jiuyou's matter.

Jiuyou saw Ye Ling’s empty bowl, stood up and took it directly into the kitchen.

"Jiuyou, what are you doing?" Ye Ling was a little confused.

After a while, Jiuyou came out with half a bowl of rice under the gaze of several pairs of eyes: "You have worked for half a day, eat some rice, otherwise you will be hungry at night."

Ye Ling smiled helplessly: "Okay, thank you, Junior Brother."

Qian Qing immediately looked at Li Ye, who suppressed a laugh and said, "How about I give you half a bowl too?"

"I don't want it, I want to lose weight." Qian Qing quickly protected her empty bowl.

Jiu Youming silently picked up some meat for Ye Ling, all of which were boneless, making it easier for his senior sister to eat.

Ye Ling also picked up a few pieces of meat for Jiu You: "You should eat more, so you can recover faster. Eat quickly."

Qian Qing and Li Ye looked at each other, then lowered their heads and ate while suppressing their laughter.

After a simple dinner, looking at Jiuyou who was sending Ye Ling upstairs, Li Ye whispered, "Qianqing, my elder sister really likes Jiuyou. A strong woman like her would not take any man seriously at all. Even the princes of other countries would stand aside. But look at Jiuyou again. The look in her eyes when she looks at Jiuyou is full of tenderness."

"Jiuyou also likes the eldest sister," Qianqing said.

"There is no doubt about this. Jiuyou's personality is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He seems difficult to get along with, but in fact it is very easy to make friends. His love for the eldest sister is the purest, without any color mixed in." Li Ye's analysis was quite correct.

Qian Qing looked at him: "So, your kindness to me is mixed with color?"

"Of course not." Li Ye said, then looked at Eighth Sister who was still eating and lowered his voice: "Later, after they go to bed, let's go sit by the river. I have something to tell you."

Qian Qing smiled and said, "Go take a shower first. I'm still busy here."

"I'll help you wash the dishes. After you clean up the kitchen, you take them to wash their dishes, and then I'll go take a shower." Since coming here, Li Ye has taken the initiative to help Qian Qing clean up the dishes.

About half an hour later, Qian Qing also took a bath and drained the water in the tub: "Wanqi, Eighth Sister, you two should go to bed quickly. I'm going out for a while. Don't get out of bed again."

"I know," Wanqi responded.

Qian Qing changed into a very pink dress and as soon as he went out, he saw Li Ye waiting for him in the yard.

The two smiled at each other and walked out of the door together. Li Ye took the initiative to hold Qian Qing's hand. The bright moonlight shone on the earth.

By the stream, Ye Ling's blanket was not taken away, making it a perfect place to sit down. Not far away, four horses were slowly eating grass.

Not long after Qian Qing and Li Ye left, Jiu You left Ye Ling's room. He was about to go back to sleep, but Ye Ling followed him out and said seriously, "I'll take you back to your room."

Jiuyou was stunned for a long time: "I can go down by myself, you should get some rest early."

Ye Ling turned around unhappily and went into the house, slamming the door shut.

Jiuyou looked at a loss and stood at the door for a long time before going downstairs.

Ye Ling entered the space, sat on the sofa and started to sulk.

Meng Meng wanted to laugh but didn't dare to: "Master, you know Jiuyou is a stubborn person, please don't be angry!"

"For half a year, I have been sleeping alone every day... Suddenly, I always suffer from insomnia and can't sleep. I wake up, but I am not well-behaved at all. I don't listen to me and I don't want me anymore," Ye Ling muttered.

"Then you can marry him, so you can be together openly and honestly, right?"

"Get married?" Ye Ling finally stopped mumbling and thought for a long time: "Mengmeng, I still want to be single."

"My master, this is ancient times, not the 21st century. You can live together without getting married. Here, if men and women want to live together, they must have a formal relationship. Jiuyou cares most about etiquette," Mengmeng explained.

"Hmph!" Ye Ling didn't listen anymore. He left the space and went downstairs directly to knock on Jiuyou's door.

Jiuyou had just taken off his coat and got into bed, so he could only put on his boots and open the door: "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Ye Ling pushed Jiu You aside and entered the room: "I can't sleep alone. I've gotten used to having you around for half a year."

"You..." Jiuyou was speechless.

Ye Ling sat down on the soft couch and poured himself a glass of water: "Junior brother, you are twenty-four this year, right?"

"Yes." Jiuyou also walked forward and sat down obediently.

"Normally, at your age, your child would be as old as Wanqi, right?"

"Didn't senior brother get married in his thirties?" Jiuyou quickly pulled someone over.

"The men in Langya Pavilion are all freaks, they are not normal people"

"Sister, this is unreasonable!" Li Ye said in the yard.

Ye Ling had a headache: "Why did you two come back so soon?"

"I have to get up early tomorrow," Qian Qing said and went back to the room and closed the door.

Ye Ling leaned against the window, looked at Li Ye and whispered, "You can't do this! Isn't it too fast?"

Li Ye glanced at Qianqing's door and walked to the window: "Eldest sister, I swear to God, it's not me who can't do it, it's Qianqing. She refuses to stay and wants to come back to sleep."

"What did you do to her?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

"I didn't do anything" Li also looked innocent.

"You didn't have time to do it?"

Li also smiled and said, "Eldest sister, we're getting married soon. Holding hands and hugging isn't too much, right?"

"A kiss wouldn't be too much," Ye Ling said as he stood up and walked out the door, saying as he walked, "Oh! This woman is most afraid of meeting a man who doesn't understand romance. Qian Qing is lucky, Su Su is lucky too, let's go to sleep!"

Looking at Ye Ling mumbling as he went upstairs, Li Ye leaned over the window with a smirk on his face: "Brother-in-law, look, Qianqing and I both call you brother-in-law, you... should be more understanding!"

"No ..."

"You don't need to explain." Li Ye raised his hand to interrupt Jiuyou: "Brother-in-law, go to bed early."

After Li finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then returned to his room.

Jiuyou's mind was full of questions, and he couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong. He closed the door in confusion and went to bed, still thinking about it. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Finally, he decided to ask Ye Ling tomorrow.

It rained heavily in the middle of the night, but the sky was clear the next morning. This is the good fortune of Nanlai, a place with great feng shui. The heavy rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Qian Qing's first words when she went out were: "That's great! I just planted the garden yesterday and it rained last night, so I don't need to water it today."

"That's right." Li Ye also pushed the door open and came out.

"Hmph." Qian Qing gave Li Ye a look and went straight to the open-air stove to boil water and prepare breakfast.

"It seems that you didn't have time to do anything last night." Jiuyou appeared at the door with a sword in his hand.

Hearing the sound, Li Ye turned around and said, "You scared me. My eldest sister said that a kiss is not excessive. Where have you been?"

"Practicing by the river" Jiuyou's sweaty forehead showed that he had been practicing for quite some time.

"You're up too early. You've been practicing for so long, how long have you been practicing?"

"Two hours"

"Two hours? You got up before dawn?"

"You should still worry about whether she will put croton seeds in the food she cooks for you today." Jiuyou made a rare joke.

Li also smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you should think about how to protect yourself. I can just coax her and she will be fine. But if you provoke me later, I will pick you up and beat you up."

Jiuyou subconsciously glanced at the closed door on the second floor: "I have to go and ask clearly."

"I wish my brother-in-law success." Li Ye smiled and walked towards the door: "I'm going to bring the horse back and feed it."
