A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince

After dinner, Siyu went to the next room to see Zhou Tingxuan.

Siyu asked

Have you finished eating?

Zhou Tingxuan was very happy to see the little girl coming.

Siyu asked, "How was your meal?" "Is the dish delicious?" Zhou Tingxuan asked curiously, "What is this black thing? I've never seen it before."

Thinking of Rain

How delicious is it? Let me tell you! This is a new food I discovered. Have you ever tried it?

Zhou Tingxuan, I have never seen it, let alone eaten it.

Zhou Tingxuan Road

It tastes good. What is this black thing called?

Siyu Road

This is wood ear mushroom. Once picked and dried, it can be stored for a long time. It's a new ingredient that can enrich your table. It's also good for your health, so eat more!

Zhou Tingxuan said

Thank you. I only have 100 taels of silver on me right now. I know it's not enough to pay you for the food and elixirs. Once I recover from my injuries, or my followers come to find me, I will definitely make up the difference.

Siyu said, there is no need for anything else, just give me the silver.

Zhou Tingxuan asked him, are you short of money?

Siyu said, "You think you're just like a rich young master like you! You have everything you need. Look at what we're wearing, it's all patched up. We were kicked out by grandma and our relationship has been severed until today."

It's only been a few days, and we haven't had anything. All the food we have is from good friends in the village, who gave it to us yesterday. When I found you, I dug up a ginseng plant. I sold it for some money, and I bought these things today. So you can see the current state of my family.

Zhou Tingxuan was very skilled in martial arts and had good hearing. In fact, he heard everything they said while eating outside.

That's why I have this question, Siyu said while counting on her fingers.

Look, my family has no land, so we need to buy some. My brothers need to go to private school. I need to hire a female teacher for my sister, prepare a dowry, build a house, and open a workshop. I also need to ask those who have helped us to increase their crop yields. I also want to see the beautiful landscape of the Yulong Dynasty. So much has gone unfinished.

Zhou Tingxuan asked curiously, then why are you preparing the dowry for your sister? Aren’t your parents involved?

Siyu said, "Dad is going to take the imperial examination with my brothers and will support me and my sister in the future."

Siyu patted her chest and said, "Leave the money-making matter to me."

Zhou Tingxuan looked at the little person's bright eyes, which were shining brightly. That was a light full of hope for the future.

Zhou Tingxuan asked doubtfully, "What about you?"

Siyu said, "I am alone? What's wrong with me?"

Zhou Tingxuan said, Get married!

Siyu said, "I'm not thinking about getting married. Why prepare a dowry?"

Zhou Tingxuan asked, why don’t you want to get married?

Siyu looked up, bewildered, and asked, "Why get married? Going to someone else's house means being governed by others, with so many rules. Wouldn't it be nice if I were alone?" Look at my mother, gentle and virtuous! Kind and generous! Well-educated and well-mannered! But she's still being bullied by her mother-in-law and ostracized by her sisters-in-law. This is in the countryside. Even without concubines, there are so many problems. If it were a wealthy family, the backyard would definitely be a turmoil, with constant backstabbing.

Thinking of the rain,

Look at me, I can make money, I can cook. I can farm, I know so much. Why do I need a man? To watch him get mad at me? Just imagine how desperate I must be to find a bunch of fathers to control me and set rules for me. I'm used to doing whatever I want at home, so why should I go to theirs and have them set rules for me? And there are all these relatives of his who tell me what to do. If I meet someone reasonable, I can get along fine. But if I meet a weird family that won't listen, I'll just be an outsider in their eyes. Why would I want to get married and put myself in shackles? I don't want to be bound by marriage! If I meet a man who loves me, pampers me, and loves me, I'll marry him off. Or find a live-in son-in-law. Zhou Tingxuan was shocked by Siyu's words.

Zhou Tingxuan asked Siyu what marriage is.

Siyu said, "It's about getting married!" Zhou Tingxuan's worldview was shattered. There was such a strange person. The girls in the capital were taught the Three Obediences and Four Virtues: to support your husband and raise your children, to obey your husband at home, and to obey your children after your husband's death. But this girl didn't want to get married. She wanted to be dependent on anyone, but to live a rebellious life on her own.

Zhou Tingxuan said that if you don’t get married, how will your sister get married? She will be pointed at and criticized by others, and the saliva will be enough to drown people.

Siyu thought about it. This isn't modern times. Here, women get married at the age of fifteen. What about me? I have to get married at such a young age. The thought of it gave her goose bumps. No way. I'm still not grown up at fifteen or sixteen! How can I get married?

Siyu thought to herself, "Back in my time, I would have been fifteen or sixteen and still in junior high school. How could I possibly get married?" Little did Siyu know, he would soon be proven wrong.

Zhou Tingxuan said, "What's wrong with getting married and having someone love you?"

Siyu said

It's going to make some people more servile, right? No way! Marrying someone means serving your parents-in-law and bearing children. Childbirth is so arduous, with ten months of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth. If you're not careful, you could lose both your children. People only care about whether the child is healthy and whether it's a boy. Who cares about the mother? And what about families with slightly better conditions? They even add concubines to the man's room.

Siyu said

Why would I fight with a bunch of women for a man? His rotten cucumber has been used up by so many women, so I don't care. If I really have to get married in the future, I will definitely find someone who loves me, cares about me, and spoils me. Someone who will do whatever I want, and who can't take concubines. Someone who wants to be together forever, and who must be loyal to each other, especially if he has a cousin or a childhood sweetheart? I can't marry such a person, because he will never find his place.

He would just say, "Be more generous. I only treat her as a sister. Be more tolerant to them. After all, you are my sister-in-law."

What's the point of the eldest daughter-in-law having to consider her husband and the peace of the family? Just tell me! What's the point of getting married? Finding yourself a man with a bunch of concubines. Are you going to make your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys fail due to your anger? I don't want that! Being alone is what it means to be free and happy.

Zhou Tingxuan thought, little girl~ still young, she doesn’t know what is mutual affection and love, she will know it when she grows up. Look at Zhou Tingxuan looking at the adults, he is still a teenager? And he is criticizing others! What he doesn’t know is that he has actually developed a curiosity about this dark and thin girl with a pair of beautiful big eyes. He was wondering how a small person like him could have such great abilities, so many ideas, and still worry so much, and be a money-grubber. Zhou Tingxuan also laughed secretly at this dark and thin little girl. He was just recovering from his injuries for a few days, and he became stupid. What’s wrong with him? He was being hunted every day, and he still had the mood to think about these things! Thinking about it, he became melancholy again. When will this poison be cured?

Perhaps this little girl is my chance and turning point. I remember the Imperial Master once said that at the age of 17, a turning point will come in the southeast, and from then on, all misfortunes will turn into good fortune. The destined person will also appear this year, carrying great fortune, and come to the Yulong Dynasty. He will also help the Yulong Dynasty usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. If I don't encounter my turning point and opportunity, I won't live past 20. Does this count?

This time, after winning the battle against the northern barbarians, I was heading back, but I wanted to return home to see my father and mother sooner. So, I left early. But there are only a few people who know what I'm doing. It seems there are some dishonest people around me. There's a traitor. I must investigate thoroughly when I return! Did they betray me and join others, or become a spy for another country?

Let’s not think about these things for now. The injury seems to be healing pretty quickly. I don’t know what kind of medicine this little girl used, but the effect is so good.

Siyu said, "Okay, Zhou Tingxuan, I'll take the bowl out first. Let Daddy change the medicine for you." Zhou Tingxuan watched the little girl leave the room. Thinking about what the little girl had just said, and thinking about the Four Books and Five Classics he had learned. The teachings of Confucius and Mencius made Zhou Tingxuan question his life. He couldn't recover for a long time. If it was really as the little girl said, if my father didn't have so many concubines, how could my mother be poisoned, and how could I be poisoned? I am several years younger than the eldest and second princes. My father had many concubines, but he only had seven princes and three princesses. Zhou Tingxuan fell into deep thought. Is it really like the little girl said? Just because there are so many wives and concubines, does that mean there are more struggles in the harem and the underworld?

Long Linxiao, this prince was confused by that girl. Little girl, why are you so opinionated! Jie Youlan, come out, I promise not to beat you to death. You either don't let me show up, or show up and say a few words. Zhou Tingxuan one moment, Long Linxiao the next, are you going to make trouble like that?

Sister Youlan weakly raised her hand and said, "Zhou Tingxuan is the name you use when you go out. You can't let others know you are a prince yet! So you should wait before using the name Long Linxiao!" Ang Ang, be good and obedient, good baby.

Dear author, the Third Prince has worked very hard on writing. I wonder if the royalties from writing for so long are enough to buy a bowl of rice?

Tell you? Don't do it! ... Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Be careful or I'll put you on ice.

Long Linxiao, where is your moral integrity? Jie Youlan, look around, what is moral integrity?

Zhou Tingxuan

Hey, why am I thinking about all this? I'm not going to take a wife or concubines. If I do marry in the future, I'll definitely marry someone who shares my feelings and is in love with me. Why am I even thinking about getting a wife? It's all because of that little girl. Zhou Tingxuan shook his mushy head and muttered to himself, "Long Linxiao, don't think about anything. It seems that the most important thing for you is not your love life. There are still many important things to do."

Siyu returned to her and her parents' room, thinking, "I only glanced at the space when it opened, and I haven't been able to take a proper look inside yet!" She could only lock the door and go in for a quick look. Siyu thought, disappearing on the spot. Entering the space, she looked at the golden rice and wheat fields, and her heart was filled with contentment, a sense of security doubling. She no longer had to worry about starving. The original owner and her siblings had often suffered from hunger before, and it had scarred them psychologically. Now, no longer. Siyu looked at the ginseng she had put in and quickly planted it in the herb garden by the spiritual spring. She put the wood ear mushrooms by the building to dry in the sun. She would find time to plant some vegetables and, when she had time, go up the mountain to gather the missing herbs and plant them. The little person worked up a sweat and drank some spiritual spring water. Siyu wondered, "Isn't it said that drinking spiritual spring water cleanses the bones and marrow? Will it make my body ache? Why don't I feel anything?"
