My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

After returning home, the younger sister was still not very happy. She simply took the money and went to Aunt Wang's house in front: "Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang."

Aunt Wang is a warm-hearted person and is nice to the Si family. When there was something going on before, she was happy to help look after Shao Qin.

The younger sister laughed and said, "I wonder if Uncle Wang went fishing today."

After the busy farming season, every household has some free time. Men who don’t have to go out to work like to go fishing when they have free time, or they can come back and treat their families to a snack.

Uncle Wang is one of them. He is very good at fishing and he never comes back with an empty bucket.

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "I caught quite a lot. I'm thinking of pickling some to eat during the winter."

"Are there any extra ones? My second sister just came out of confinement after giving birth, and I want to make some fish soup for her to nourish her."

"Yes, yes, yes. Look, there are several big ones. How many do you want?"

My younger sister bought two big fish, stewed the fish heads into soup, and fried the fish bodies. They smelled very tempting.

Si Muyan knew that she went to buy fish because she was provoked by Zhu Laosi. She felt funny, but she also felt that it was normal for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to be angry.

Originally, the days were peaceful and smooth. Although they had no shop and the morning market business would not last long this winter, they had some extra money in their hands and were not worried. They could get through the winter smoothly.

Si Muyan was planning to buy more bedding for the winter. In the past, the two of them would huddle together to keep each other warm, but she didn't want to squeeze with others.

At that time, there was no cotton, and people used various kinds of grass wool to sew inside quilts. They were not very warm, and people had to cover themselves with thick blankets to keep warm in winter.

There are many people in my family, so we need to buy more.

Si Muyan decided to buy it when the weather was good.

When I returned home the next day, I found that everyone in the family was in a good mood, especially my second sister. Looking at my youngest sister, it seemed as if she had encountered a great joyful event.

"Little sister, that Mr. Fang looks very handsome, and his parents are also kind people!"

"What Fang Tongsheng?" The younger sister was still a little confused. "What? Fang Tongsheng is here with his parents? What are they doing here?!"

What are you here for? Of course, I'm here to propose marriage.

Si Xingzhi nodded with satisfaction: "I have seen the child, he is a good one, and he is very knowledgeable. As long as he performs normally in the college entrance examination next year, he will have no problem. By then, he will be a scholar. I also promised him that I will give him some advice later."

Although Si Xingzhi was a former marquis and had never taken the imperial examinations, he had been extremely knowledgeable and talented since childhood, even having been praised by the late emperor. He also had considerable insights into current affairs and matters at court.

Not to mention the metropolitan examination and the palace examination, Si Xingzhi was still somewhat confident about the academy examination and the provincial examination.

Aunt Jin was also very happy and said to her younger sister, "I think he's not bad. That boy Fang is very handsome and very polite. His parents both work in the county government office. His father is a gatekeeper and his mother is a kitchen helper. His family is simple. One older sister is married, and the other younger sister is thirteen years old and will be married in two years."

The younger sister was confused: "Did you agree?"

The second sister shook her head. "How can we agree so quickly? Besides, the eldest sister is the one who makes the decisions at home, so she definitely needs her approval. I've also made an agreement with them. When we have time, we'll go over there again."

Si Xing knew: "That's the truth."

The second sister held Xiaoxiaer in her arms, pulled the younger sister aside and sat her down, saying earnestly, "Little sister, you're sixteen already at the beginning of the new year. Look at the people in the village, most of them get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It's time for you to get married too."

The three sisters were born in summer, but people at that time are considered one year older after the New Year.

The younger sister lowered her head and remained silent.

The second sister continued, "You used to have a very good relationship with that Fang Tongsheng. The two of you have always been friends and know each other well, don't you? Little sister, the most important thing in this matter is mutual affection. If you like each other, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome... Of course, in addition to feelings, family members also need to be considered. I suffered a loss like that before. But we have a general understanding of the Fang family's situation. It is indeed a good family. If you are worried, let Dad and Big Sister go to the county town to take a closer look. If there are no problems, then we can settle it, okay?"

The younger sister still lowered her head and said nothing.

The second sister reached out and patted her hand: "Little sister, we are in this situation now, and many people look down on us. The Fang family is not bad, and they don't dislike us at all. It is really a good match."

Seeing that the usually talkative younger sister didn't say anything, the second sister had no choice but to look up at Si Muyan for help.

Si Muyan came over and asked, "Little sister, let me ask you, do you like him?"

The younger sister looked up blankly: "I... don't know."

Did she like him? She really didn't know. She only remembered that Fang Tongsheng was good-looking and treated her well, so they started dating. But if that was love...

Si Muyan continued, "Just like your second sister, she was desperate to see Jiang Sanlang and had the courage to spend her life with him. That's love."

Suddenly speaking of her second sister, she blushed, but even now that she was home, when she thought of Jiang Sanlang, she felt a mixture of sweetness and sadness. Her Sanlang was the best man in the world, and the only bad thing was his family.

If Saburo were still alive, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.

"No, I... don't like it." The younger sister said quickly.

Aunt Jin came in with the dishes, but she was unhappy when she heard this: "Oh, Miss, Third Miss, this is not right. Things like feelings can be cultivated slowly. As long as there is no objection and both families are suitable, the marriage can be completed. This is the matchmaker's words when it comes to important matters of marriage."

The younger sister wavered: "Is that... so?"

She had grown up and it was time for her to get married. Everything Aunt Jin and her second sister said seemed right. Fang Tongsheng was the perfect match. He was gentle and kind, and treated her well. She had met Fang's mother, a very good person, and she had also met Fang's younger sister, who was cheerful and hardworking, and she liked her very much.

Si Muyan interrupted Aunt Jin and Second Sister and continued, "So, little sister, do you want to follow Fang Tongsheng and marry into the Fang family? If he passes the imperial examination and gets a government job, you might be able to become his wife. If not, you can probably find a decent position, and you can work with him to take care of your family. Are you willing?"

"I don't want to."

The little sister blurted out without any hesitation.

"I don't want a life that I can see the end of."

Si Muyan smiled and said, "Okay, if you're not happy, we won't marry."

The second sister was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She shouted, "Sister, what are you doing? That Fang Tongsheng is indeed from a good family that is hard to come by. If I miss him, I'm afraid it will be even harder in the future."

Si Muyan said, "Second sister, I can support you and Xiaoxia'er for a lifetime, and I can also support my younger sister for a lifetime. A woman's life is long, and she doesn't have to get married."
