[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

"Don't worry about the house. Leave it to me. I'll find out what's going on. You take care of the children."

When Song Yanzhi and Han Heming were on the road, they agreed that when they arrived in Lin'an City, they could no longer farm, let alone do business.

The land cannot be cultivated, but we must bear the reputation of a farming and scholarly family.

What they wanted was to lease hundreds of acres of land, build or buy a house, become a leisurely landlord, live a leisurely life, and raise a few children, then they would be complete.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. As soon as Song Yanzhi arrived, she heard about the Lu family and also took a fancy to the Lu family's mountains.

Han Heming said that they could buy the house and the land, but they could not live in the house.

The Lu family's house and mountain land had been there for two years, and with such a future event, it was too eye-catching and indeed not suitable for them to live in.

What they need now is a low profile.

Han Heming also said that he would handle the house matters and Song Yanzhi didn't need to worry about it. After hearing Han Heming's words, Song Yanzhi really didn't care about it anymore.

She and the children lived in an inn. Someone took care of their daily food, drink, and sleep. She was bored, so she took the children out in the mornings and evenings when the weather was not hot to familiarize them with the place where they would live in the future.

"Mom, where are we going to play today?"

Big Baby's face was full of excitement. If we were to say, the happiest child among them traveling all the way south from the north was Big Baby. Big Baby was lively and the thing he enjoyed most was going out.

As long as he goes out, no matter where he goes, Da Wa is happy.

"I heard from the waiter that there's a mutton soup shop hidden away in Limao Hutong in the east of the city. Their mutton soup is extremely authentic.

More importantly, the mutton pastries he makes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrance that spreads from miles away. They are incredibly delicious.”

Song Yanzhi was dressed like a young master, holding the third child, with a string of children following behind her like a staircase.

"Is what mother said true?"

The second child is more interested in eating.

When Erwa heard that there was something delicious to eat, his eyes lit up.

"Has mother ever lied to you?"

Mother never lies. If she says something is delicious, it must be delicious.

"Well, if we go out, do you remember what to call me?"

Song Yanzhi looked at the children. If they dared to say they forgot about the horse, she would definitely give them a punishment.

"Remember, big brother."

Several children said in unison, feeling inexplicably ashamed and angry. What should they do?

Their mother coerced them and didn't allow them to call her mother outside. She only allowed them to call her big brother. In order to be able to go out with their mother, they succumbed to their mother's tyranny. It was really unacceptable.

However, every time their mother took them to a place, it was either delicious or fun. They just didn't want to give in and couldn't resist the temptation to go out. It really made it difficult for them.

Lin'an City is not big. It only takes an adult half an hour to walk from the south to the east of the city.

Song Yanzhi was with several children, and the children could not walk such a long distance.

Under the shade of the trees not far from the Fulai Inn, many sedan chair bearers and coachmen were sitting in the cool shade.

Song Yanzhi walked over, took a look at a coachman, and gave him a few copper coins. Soon the coachman came to the children, took Song Yanzhi and the children, drove the carriage, and headed towards Limao Hutong in the east of the city.

As soon as I entered the alley, before I saw any shops, I could smell the aroma of crispy meat patties wafting out from the alley.

Song Yanzhi gave the coachman a few more copper coins before leading the children into the alley.

"Boss, five bowls of mutton soup and ten mutton and scallion pancakes, please."

Song Yanzhi shouted loudly and sat down with the children in a casual manner.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

When the boss saw Song Yanzhi and several children wearing brocade clothes and were willing to come to his small stall to eat, he knew that Song Yanzhi was an open-minded person who did not care about worldly views.

You know, anyone who is rich and powerful would look down on the food here.

He has run the shop for more than 30 years, but has only met three or five people.

The boss quickly brought up the mutton soup and pastries.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal. I saw you have a baby at home, so I sent you a steamed bun. It's not a big deal if you need to feed the baby."

The boss brought Song Yanzhi and the others the food they ordered, and also gave them a bowl of mutton soup and a white, tender and golden steamed bun.

“Then there are many bosses, and the bosses are doing a booming business.”

The boss knows how to do business, and Song Yanzhi doesn't mind saying a few nice words.

"You're welcome, sir. Enjoy your meal."

The boss smiled innocently and then stepped back.

Song Yanzhi fed Sanwa first, then picked up the mutton soup and took a sip. The soup was fresh and delicious, worthy of being popular in the market.

"How is it, kids? Is it delicious?"

Song Yanzhi drank half a bowl of mutton soup and sighed with relief. Although it was summer, it was not suitable to drink hot drinks like mutton soup. Fortunately, it was morning and the weather was cool, so a bowl of mutton soup was just right.

"delicious."

Mutton has a strong smell and is not popular among people. However, the owner of this store is an expert in processing mutton. The mutton soup and mutton pastries he prepares are fresh but have no smell of mutton, which is very popular among children.

Song Yanzhi finished her meal quickly. After she finished feeding the third child, she was full too. The second child and Tuantuan were only half full.

She sat down and teased the three children. After the two children had eaten, she saw another man in brocade clothes coming over with a servant.

Song Yanzhi was able to notice him only because both of them were wearing brocade clothes, and around them were people wearing coarse linen and cotton clothes.

In this era, merchants were not allowed to wear brocade, and farmers and workers had little money to wear brocade. The remaining people who could wear brocade clothes would not have too bad status.

This man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe and had his hair tied with a ribbon of the same color. It was impossible to tell his identity, but when Song Yanzhi looked at him, he struck her fiercely.

This man is very vigilant.

"Hey, Judge Yang, you're a little late today? But are you following the usual rules?"

The boss was obviously very familiar with the man and called out his identity affectionately.

So he is a judge?

No wonder he can wear brocade. I never thought that such a young man could become a judge.

Song Yanzhi pondered it secretly, but didn't take it seriously. It was just a guess about a stranger who was slightly interested.

She took the children, ate mutton soup and pastries, threw some copper coins to the boss, and walked out with the children.

In order to have some mutton soup, Song Yanzhi hired a carriage and brought the children here. When going back, there was nothing to do, so Song Yanzhi was not in a hurry. She walked slowly on the road with the children.

Enjoy the Jiangnan style. When you are tired, find a teahouse, drink a couple of cups of tea, and stroll around. In the evening, take the children back to the inn.
