Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

I don't know how Wenshu was born, but she was so coaxed into making the old lady confused with just a few words.

The old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, who couldn't even see her eyes when she laughed, and shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, we just met today, there's plenty of time later. Once you get to know each other better, you can visit each other. Let's eat first!"

The old lady turned to the steward beside her and said, "Let's eat!"

"Children have been tired from traveling all the way, so please stay home and have a good rest these few days.

If you're really bored, you can go to the nearby hills. Although it's not as prosperous as Luoyang City, it also has its own unique scenery and fun."

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

Seeing the old lady about to stand up, Wen Yao hurried forward to support her. The old lady then placed her hand on Wen Yao's arm and waved to Wen Shu, who was having a lively conversation with her eldest daughter-in-law, and called out, "Pengpeng girl, right?"

Wen Shu quickly responded, "Yes, grandma."

The old lady continued, "Mrs. Wen'an, since you get along so well with the children, you should visit them more often in the future. Ask your children to come out and walk around more often too..."

The eldest aunt smiled and replied, "Mom, even if you didn't tell me, I would have planned this.

It’s just that my Hua’er is not at home, I think he and Pengpeng will definitely get along well and be able to chat with each other.”

When the old lady heard Hua'er's name, she couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Then he sighed, "This girl is the same. She hasn't replied to our letters since she left home for so long. When Hua'er comes back, let her take good care of you. She's also worried about not having any sisters of her own age to talk to."

The old lady responded: "Well, the old lady is right, girls should be more lively."

As she spoke, the old lady looked at Wen Shu's thin figure, frowned slightly, and revealed a look of worry.

She murmured to herself, wondering if the child was so thin because of the trend in Luoyang where thinness was considered beautiful, or because of the fatigue from the long journey.

"Pengpeng, listen to grandma. When your sister Huaer comes back, go out with her more often to see the world. That way you won't be bullied when you get married."

When Wenshu heard this, she quickly interrupted, "Yes, grandma, I want to spend more time with you and mom!" She received nine years of compulsory education and was taught about eugenics, so she had never been in a relationship even after graduating from university.

After graduation, she devoted herself to her career and making money, and had no time or energy to fall in love.

Before I could enjoy my wonderful life, I traveled through time in a daze.

After finally figuring out the current situation, she just wanted to think about how to survive in the future.

After all, there are still many difficult days ahead.

"As for our children, regardless of gender, as long as you have the ability, our family will support you!..."

"Mom!" Wen An heard his mother starting to instill some bad ideas again and hurriedly interrupted her.

……

After dinner, Wenshu said goodbye to her elders and took Shaoyao for a walk in the yard.

When I walked to the backyard, I found that the back door made of stones was about six feet wide, which was in sharp contrast to the desolate yard.

Through a small door, the sound can be heard from a long distance. The sound is like a torrent, impacting people's eardrums, making people want to find out what is going on.

There is a pond between the yard and the gate. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, like a mirror.

An unknown source of spring water came from a hole in the outer wall, diverting the water into two streams. One stream flowed directly into the pond, forming a small waterfall with splashing water. It was not carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen, and was integrated with the surrounding stones.

Another one-foot-wide canal was built along the edge of the wall, circling the yard and then flowing into a larger canal outside from another exit.

The outlet of the flowing water is right next to the small door.

At this moment, a loud noise was heard.

A startled voice said, "Who are you...?"

Then he asked again: "What are you doing here?"

Before Wen Shu could see the cause of the commotion outside, she was interrupted by a voice.

She was startled and turned around to see a man holding a long knife, wearing tight clothes and breathing a little unevenly, as if he had just come from a distance.

Behind him followed a servant carrying a heavy baggage on his back.

They did not have scarves wrapped around their heads like other adult men in the village. Instead, they tied their hair up on top of their heads and covered it with a melon-shaped hat.

This clumsy outfit was so funny that Wen Shu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wenshu was distracted for a moment, but then immediately returned to normal.

"Sister, you have just returned from outside, right?" he asked.

"Sister..." The man was stunned at first when he heard the name, then he began to patrol the yard in a pretentious manner, glaring at Wen Shu as he walked, "Where did you get the sister from?... You little girl, don't talk nonsense. I'm a man, how can I talk like a woman!"

His cheeks puffed up with anger, and he was obviously very unhappy that Wen Shu saw through his identity at a glance.

Although he was very unhappy, he still insisted on being stubborn. As long as he didn't admit it, this beautiful and gentle little sister couldn't do anything to him.

After all, this was the first time someone exposed her in person.

"How can you say that about our girl?" Shaoyao was not happy. She always protected her girl, fearing that she would suffer any injustice.

Seeing someone treating Wenshu like this, she naturally would not sit idly by.

"Hey, this little hot pepper..." The woman dressed as a man had a little displeasure on her face. She was about to step forward and act as if she was about to take action.

Seeing this, Shaoyao hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Wenshu, fearing that Wenshu would be hurt.

"Oh! I didn't know the men here are so refined."

Wenshu pointed at her earlobe and asked with a smile.

Wen Shu gently patted Shaoyao's shoulder, signaling her not to worry, and looked at the woman in front of her with interest, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Seeing that her tricks were easily exposed, she simply stopped pretending and just let it go, carelessly handing the intimidating knife in her hand to the person behind her.

"You must be Uncle San's sister Pengpeng..." Her gaze fell on Wenshu, and a hint of curiosity and expectation flashed in her eyes.

"Hello, sister!" Wenshu nodded obediently and responded politely.

"Oh, you are so sweet-talking. Do you know that I have been looking forward to your coming so much that my neck has become long." Wenhua smiled immediately after hearing Wenshu's words and said happily.

After saying that, she couldn't wait to take Wenshu's arm and pull her out.

"My name is Wenhua, and Wen'an is my father. When will my sister come back?" Wenhua introduced himself enthusiastically to Wenshu as they walked, and asked with concern when Wenshu would return.

As Wenhua spoke, he led Wenshu out of the small door, as if there was some special arrangement.

"Sister, I see that you are curious about the outside world. Come on, I will take you to play." Wenhua's voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if she wanted Wenshu to experience some interesting things.

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of my own mother. With such a sweet and soft sister, I guess her mother would want to snatch her away to be her daughter. If she knew, she would take her sister to the back mountain.

There might be trouble.

His eyes rolled around and he said, "Sister Pengpeng, no matter what happens later, no matter what you see, don't tell anyone else, you see..."

Xiao Fuer and Xiao Wenjun were too sleepy to stand before the yard was even half open, so Wen Yao took them back home.

Wenshu was curious about this place and continued to stroll around with Shaoyao.

I didn't expect to encounter this.

Seeing Wenshu's intention, Shaoyao was still worried. She was unfamiliar with the place and the so-called "sister" of this person had not been confirmed.

During this year, the girl was well protected, but she knew how chaotic the world had been in those years.

Shaoyao tugged at Wenshu's sleeve and whispered, "Girl"

"It's okay, we're nearby. We won't go far. There are people from the Wen family all around here. It's very safe."

"You are quite cautious, girl."

"Don't think too much, sister. You know, my sister was confused a few years ago. Thanks to her..."

Wenhua didn't think too much about it. At this time, she just wanted to make her sister happy. Later, when she was caught by her mother, she would go home to save her sister's face.

Although many times, she had lost all her face after being scolded by her mother.

Forget it, let me find a backer first.

As he said this, he took Wenshu's arm and walked out of the yard, giving her personal maid a wink.

The girl understood and ran away with the huge bag in her arms.
