Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Mu Jiaojiao and her husband were talking to Liu Nian in the main hall. Liu Yulan came in from outside and spoke to Mu Jiaojiao.

"Mu Jiaojiao, there are more guests coming. You two should go and meet them quickly."

"Okay, Sister Yulan."

Mu Jiaojiao stood up after hearing this and said to Liu Nian, "Just do as you please. Let's go take a look outside the main gate."

"Yeah, Madam Mu, you don't have to worry about me."

Liu Nian saw that Liu Yulan no longer called Mu Jiaojiao "Master". Mainly because he felt that Mu Jiaojiao probably didn't want the people in Lihua Village to know about their relationship.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded after hearing this and took Xia Jin out.

Liu Yulan felt that it was not appropriate to leave Liu Nian alone in the main hall, so she poured herself a cup of tea and sat in the main hall to keep him company.

When Mu Jiaojiao and his wife arrived at the main gate, they saw a flashy golden carriage with dazzling gems inlaid on its body, shining brightly.

Gorgeous satin curtains are hung on the car windows, fluttering in the wind, as if showing the owner's luxury and taste.

Next to the carriage was a golden and handsome man. Who else could it be but Jin Baoer, the young master of the Jin family?

Of course, there is also his lackey Jin Xiaoqi.

He was dressed in a gorgeous golden robe with exquisite embroidery patterns, which shone with a light that echoed that of the carriage.

Jin Baoer had a faint smile on her lips and was waving a flashy fan with eight pictures of ladies on it in her hand.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao was so upset that she was speechless.

"My dear lady Jiaojiao, Baoer misses you so much!"

When Jin Baoer saw Mu Jiaojiao, she immediately put away her fan and ran towards Mu Jiaojiao with a bright smile on her face and some extremely naughty words on her mouth.

"Stay away from my wife."

Seeing this, Xia Jin immediately hid Mu Jiaojiao behind her and looked at Jin Baoer with a gloomy face.

"...You little white face, get out of the way!"

Jin Baoer was annoyed when she saw the man who suddenly bumped into her face. This pretty boy husband of a delicate lady is so annoying!

"Oh, useless things are not worthy to appear in front of my wife."

Xia Jin was still blaming Jin Baoer for his incompetence. He couldn't even handle a small guard and the owner of Fulai Restaurant, which caused his wife to be frightened.

Although Mu Jiaojiao said that she was not frightened at all, let alone scared!

"Who are you calling incompetent? You're a gigolo!"

Jin Baoer's eyes were filled with anger. How dare this pretty boy slander him in front of Miss Jiaojiao?!

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin looked at him with contempt, sneered, and then asked sarcastically.

"Who swore so confidently that the problem could be solved?"

Jin Baoer: “…”

This matter was indeed his oversight, but it was his uncle Song Yang, who was not much older than him, who said that this was a small matter and he would definitely handle it well.

Then he went back home with peace of mind. His mother said that she was seriously ill and asked him to go back quickly.

After returning home, he found out that his mother had found a bunch of girls for him to look at, saying that he was no longer a child and needed to find a wife to take care of him so that he wouldn't be out having sex all day.

This time he escaped from home with great difficulty.

When he came out, he found that his good uncle had caused the young master Jin to be slapped in the face!

He was so angry that his liver hurt!

Actually, it’s not Song Yang’s fault. A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death. Han Yuan is just one level higher than him in rank. What can he do?

Besides, he had tried hard to trick the county magistrate Xie Linzhi into coming to Hexi Town, otherwise how could he have received Xia Jin's news and arrived in time?

"My dear lady Jiaojiao, I was wrong about this."

Young Master Jin had nothing to say about this matter and immediately admitted his mistake and apologized to Mu Jiaojiao.

"Humph!"

Xia Jin said that there was no point in apologizing, because in his eyes Jin Baoer was just a useless man anyway.

As for Mu Jiaojiao, she looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyebrows raised and a smile on her lips.

She didn't say anything, but crossed her arms over her chest and looked lazily at the two men's childish cross-eyed faces.

"Okay, Jin."

Mu Jiaojiao felt that today was a good day for her family to move to a new house, so they couldn't start a fight at the door. She then came out from behind Xia Jin and spoke out to stop Xia Jin.

Speaking of Xia Jin, it's strange. She just doesn't like Young Master Jin and they always have a verbal argument every time they meet.

"Master Jin, you're too serious. That incident is over, and I wasn't hurt."

Mu Jiaojiao then politely said to Jin Baoer that the matter was in the past anyway and there was no point in dwelling on it. Besides, it was indeed a small matter and not worth worrying about.

"Madam Jiaojiao, you are truly wise and righteous. Baoer likes you even more!"

Jin Baoer said that Mu Jiaojiao was really broad-minded, and he loved her even more, and he also disliked Xia Jin even more.

Mu Jiaojiao: “…”

She really had nothing to say about this young master.

She could obviously see that the young master didn't like her very much, at most he just admired her, but when he said that, it was as if they were having an affair!

Especially since Xia Jin was looking at her with a wronged expression...

Mu Jiaojiao has a headache!

"No, I have a husband."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the strange looks from the villagers around her, quickly waved to him, then turned around and took Xia Jin's hand, rubbing her fingers on the back of Xia Jin's hand.

Xia Jin looked at his wife holding his hand, a blushing smile gradually covering his face, and he looked at Jin Baoer with a smug look on his face.

Jin Baoer: “…”

It’s only been half a month since we last met, but I didn’t expect that Xia Jin, this pretty boy, is even more shameless!

"Master Jin, please go back to your room and have a cup of tea."

Then Mu Jiaojiao stretched out her hand and invited Jin Baoer, then led the way and brought her into the main hall.

Xia Jin naturally followed in his wife's footsteps, with a proud look on his face.

Then he watched Jin Baoer being frozen in place by his wife's words, stunned and heartbroken.

He really felt in a much better mood.

"Move the stuff in!"

Then Jin Baoer instructed Xiao Qi, and then followed Mu Jiaojiao's footsteps aggressively, as if this was her own home.

*

The banquet started around noon.

Because of this housewarming party, Liu Lizheng borrowed tables and chairs from almost half of the households in Lihua Village.

The yard of Mu Jiaojiao's house was filled with gifts, and all the villagers and children in the village were very happy.

Because there is a chicken on every table, as well as braised pork made by the chef of Jin Yumantang.

Although this dish caused a series of incidents, there is nothing wrong with the dish itself and it is quite delicious, so it naturally cannot be missed.

After all ten dishes were served.

"Today is the housewarming party for Jiaojiao and her husband, Xia Jin, and their family. On behalf of the villagers of Lihua Village, I wish Jiaojiao and her family a better life and a harmonious family."

Everyone was sitting there eating and hadn't started yet when Liu Lizheng stood up, raised a glass of rice wine, and wished Mu Jiaojiao and her family of four a happy family life.

"Some time ago, several families in the village had some disputes with Jiaojiao's family. I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and make Lihua Village a better place."

Then he raised his glass and spoke to the villagers of Lihua Village who were sitting there, and then drank the wine.

Almost all the people from Lihua Village came this time, including Li Xiaoyue, who always disliked Mu Jiaojiao, and Ge Dagen, who came to eat together.

After all, everyone was eating Mu Jiaojiao's food, and it was Liu Li, whom they respected, who was speaking, so naturally they all responded and said yes.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Mu Jiaojiao nudged Xia Jin beside her with her elbow, signaling him to speak.

"Thank you, Uncle Lizheng, and thank you fellow villagers for coming to our house today. Jinhe and his wife prepared some light wine today. We don't expect everyone to drink well, but we just hope everyone will eat their fill."

Xia Jin felt his wife's actions and felt warm in his heart. He patted Mu Jiaojiao's hand, then picked up a glass of wine, stood up and spoke to everyone.

But he didn't say anything about living in peace with everyone in the future. Those people offended his wife, so he was not so magnanimous!

“Hahahaha…it’s already good!”

Wang Gui sat aside, looking at the dishes on the table, and said sincerely.

"Yes, yes, it's very good!"

Others also expressed their feelings, saying that they never had such good food during festivals and holidays.

"Then everyone, enjoy your meal and don't be restrained."

Mu Jiaojiao also stood up and spoke to everyone, and then she saw the villagers couldn't wait to start eating.

"Hahaha, it seems we are late!"

Just as everyone started to eat, a cheerful voice came from outside the main door.

Mu Jiaojiao and Xia Jin stood up immediately. They saw several people coming in directly from the main entrance.

It turned out to be Meng He, Zhao Xiangyi and his sister Zhao Jianjia. Mu Jiaojiao was not surprised that the three of them came together. What surprised her was that they came with Xie Linzhi and Song Yang.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Many villagers of Lihua Village went to the execution ground to watch the execution. When they saw Xie Linzhi, they naturally knew his identity and immediately stood up and saluted.

"Hey! Everyone, please don't be polite. Today is a good day for Madam Mu's family. Don't be restrained."

Xie Linzhi was shocked when he saw this. Seeing that all the villagers except the people at the main table where Mu Jiaojiao was sitting were kneeling on the ground, he quickly asked everyone to stand up.

Prince Jin was sitting at the top, and he really couldn't stand these people kneeling down to him!

He was afraid that he would lose his seventh-rank official hat tomorrow!

"Thank you, sir."

The people on the ground were very excited. They saw the county magistrate and came to his Lihua Village to congratulate Mu Jiaojiao!

How proud must Mu Jiaojiao be! If they tell others about it, they will also benefit from it.

"Thank you, sir. You have arrived just in time for the feast to begin."

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao glanced at her man and saw that he was frowning at Xie Linzhi and didn't go up to say hello.

She walked out and continued what Xie Linzhi had just said when he came in, with a smile on her face as she invited everyone to sit down and have dinner.

"Madam Mu, then we won't be polite."

Xie Linzhi walked to the table and saw that Prince Jin didn't want to pay attention to him, so he guessed that he was not welcome.

Hey!

You're not flattering me in the right way!

"Send in the housewarming gifts for Madam Mu's family."

Then he thought about it and quickly asked the servant to bring the gift in to Mu Jiaojiao to see if he could make amends.

Mu Jiaojiao received the gift, and her smile became more sincere. She didn't care what Xie Linzhi thought. She was happy to receive the gift anyway.

"Thank you, sir, for being so polite. It's an honor for a village woman to have you here. Why bring any gifts? Please take a seat and eat. It's just coarse rice, and I hope you don't mind it!"

Mu Jiaojiao was polite in her words, but she did not stop instructing the servant to put the gifts away. She also told him to eat quickly.

Although Xia Jin didn't like Xie Linzhi's arrival, his expression softened a lot when he saw his wife was happy.

Seeing this, Xie Linzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ok!

The people who came to congratulate sat around a table with Mu Jiaojiao's family of four, with Mu Jiaojiao and Xia Jin sitting at the top.

Logically speaking, among these people, Mu Jiaojiao and Xia Jin, a village woman and a man bought to marry into the family, should be of the lowest status, and it would be against the rules for them to sit at the top.

But no one sitting around said anything. Xie Linzhi and Song Yang didn't dare to say anything. They didn't dare to let Prince Jin sit in other seats.

As for Zhao Xiangyi, Liu Nian and others, they are their future masters and they must respect them.

Meng He is his own little master, and he has to serve him. He would love it!

Jin Baoer doesn't care at all. He has no concept of hierarchy.

Then the host table appeared, happily eating and chatting, and the people at other tables looked at them and felt a little bit out of harmony.

I also feel it's a bit mysterious. How dare Mu Jiaojiao and her husband sit at the top table and be so calm?

The banquet lasted about an hour.

After everyone had finished eating, the villagers of Lihua Village still worked hard to help clean up everything.

Everyone consciously carried their own pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches back home.

Xie Linzhi brought his servants to help clean up. He was now frantically trying to show off in front of Xia Jin to make up for his rash mistake.

"Nian'er, why are you at Madam Mu's house?"

After cleaning up, Xie Linzhi finally couldn't help but walk towards Liu Nian, then pulled him aside to question him.

"Grandpa, why are you here at Madam Mu's house?"

Liu Nian squinted his eyes, which seemed closed due to his obesity, and looked at Xie Linzhi.

He didn't even know who his grandfather was. He never did anything without profit, so why would he come to Madam Mu's house?

"Ahem...don't worry about that."

Xie Linzhi heard this and covered up awkwardly. Why did he come? Wasn't he here to curry favor with the prince?!

"Why are you coming to Pear Blossom Village instead of taking good care of your body in Maple Leaf City?"

"I'm here just to recuperate. Madam Mu is a very good doctor, and it will be good for my recuperation."

In the end, Liu Nian did not tell the truth to his grandfather who loved him. Anyway, he had punished everyone who hurt him.

"I see. You have to take good care of the mill. If you need anything, tell Grandpa."

Upon hearing this, Xie Linzhi touched Liu Nian's head, feeling a little sad. This was the son of his most beloved daughter. His daughter was unlucky and died early, and her son was not in good health either. This was a source of worry for him.

"Yeah, Nian'er knows, Grandpa."

Seeing this, Liu Nian answered obediently that he had never been arrogant, but he was extremely respectful to his grandfather.

"Hey!"

Seeing how well-behaved he was, Xie Linzhi patted his shoulder.

"Thank you, sir. The master invites you over for tea."

The two were talking when they were interrupted by Wushuang, who had an expressionless face and spoke in a flat tone.

"...Yes, yes, I'll be there right away."

Xie Linzhi nodded quickly, then hurried over to meet Xia Jin.

Looking at his grandfather like this, Liu Nian naturally guessed that the man from his master Mu Jiaojiao was not an ordinary person.

My master's family is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers...
