After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Hearing Xu Qingzhao's voice, Yu Yan shook Huanxi who was sleeping soundly and called her out of her sleep.

"Joy, wake up, get up, we're here."

Zhao Huanxi stretched, lifted the carriage curtain, and found that they had arrived at the Pangshi Escort Agency. She led Yu Yan out of the carriage, told her that she would pick her up after she finished her work, and drove the carriage to the county government office.

When they were almost at the gate of the yamen, Xu Qingzhao got into the carriage and told her that he was a little sleepy and wanted to rest in the car for a while. Although Zhao Huanxi was confused, she did not ask any more questions.

Following the village chief into the county magistrate's office, Lord Jiang was on leave today, leaving only his chief clerk on duty. As luck would have it, the village chief and the county magistrate's chief clerk had some connections, so the matter was settled without much discussion. When they left, they calculated the time and realized it had only taken a little over half an hour.

At the door, she saw a familiar face: the gatekeeper. She had come alone to register her household, and she had given the man two taels of silver.

"Brother Zhang, it's me. I really needed your help last time. Don't you remember?"

Zhang Luo thought for a long time and then remembered the female god of wealth.

"Sister Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met. What brings you to the yamen today?" He had been looking forward to seeing this female god of wealth for a long time, but unfortunately he never saw her when he was there, and he didn't know whether she had come or not.

"Oh, I followed my uncle to buy two acres of thin land and beg for food."

At this time, Xu Qingzhao in the car shouted through the curtain: "Huanhuan, let's go!"

Huanxi turned around and said: "Hey! I'm here! Brother Zhang, I'll chat with you next time I come back. I have something to do and I'll leave first. Thank you for your hard work."

When she returned to the car, didn't Xu Qingzhao look sleepy at all?

"Uncle Village Chief, can you take me to the cloth shop?"

The village chief sighed and drove his carriage to the cloth shop on the street.

At the cloth shop, I bought some fashionable fabrics. This summer was unusually hot, so I bought two rolls of thin gauze. I went home and asked Yuanzhen to cut them into clothes. I also ordered a few sets of clothes, paid a deposit, and agreed to pick them up later.

After finishing, I got out and took a carriage to Pang's Escort Agency. This time, I was invited in by the guard at the door. Pang Escort Agency was able to get up today, but Hongying beside him looked listless.

After introducing everyone, Huanxi pulled Hongying aside and asked her what was wrong.

"Sister Huanxi, I'm fine. I've been too tired these past two days. I just need to rest for a while."

Huanxi looked at her expression and thought that this girl definitely didn't get enough rest. It was probably because something happened that she didn't want to tell others. Huanxi didn't ask any more questions.

But he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "This Biaotou Pang looks much better. What is Hongying worried about? She has always been an optimistic person. Could it be that the thing that worries Hongying is...?"

Is Pang Biaotou planning to arrange a marriage for Hongying? However, in this era, there didn't seem to be any bizarre laws or regulations that taxed women if they didn't marry when they reached a certain age. Besides, Hongying was only seventeen, and her original self didn't get married until nineteen, so there wasn't any need to rush things...

Never mind, it's none of my business. Hongying didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't ask.

After chatting for a while, he took Yu Yan back to the carriage. Before leaving, Hongying chased out and said to Huanxi in a wronged tone:

"Sister Huanxi, I'm going to go drink with you tonight. Please wait for me."

Seeing the girl's listless look, Huanxi nodded in agreement. She understood a girl's thoughts best. She probably had her eye on a young man but was too embarrassed to tell him, so she had to come to her confidant older sister.

"Then be careful when riding at night. I'll wait for you."

"good……."

After saying goodbye to Hongying, I bought some fruits, vegetables, meat and other things in the town, and then returned to Dashi Village feeling satisfied.

At home:

The four girls and Xu Jinchu looked at the two frail little girls, Bao'er and Xiaodan. Xiaopan rummaged through her and Xiaoyin's wardrobes, found two old clothes that were about the same size as them, and gave them to their mother to alter before wearing them.

After all, they were just kids, and it didn't take long for them to start playing together.

Seeing that they got along well, Yuanzhen and Linghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu was also observing the women's reactions. Since her sister Huanxi was away today, she was helping out at home, giving them a good opportunity to see what their personalities were like. Fortunately, after a day of getting along, she had come to some conclusions.

Chunliu and Xiahe were both honest and dutiful. They would do their own thing without looking around, and would follow Liu to ask about household matters such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. They would never ask a single question about things that were not their business.

Yuanzhen was a gentle, clever young woman who spent the entire day making clothes under the eaves. She wasn't a talkative person. Linghua, on the other hand, was a bit overly frightened. She kept her eyes on Xiaodan all day, as if she was afraid her little girl would bully her.

When Huanxi arrived home, Liu told her everything she had seen and heard. Huanxi understood what had happened and took out two rolls of fine cloth from her cupboard and handed them to her, saying it was a thank you gift for the time she had spent.

Liu refused for a long time before accepting it and happily took Meixiang home.

Zhao Huanxi called everyone out and distributed the things they had bought today. Toiletries, one for each person. And handkerchiefs and the like.

After finishing his household chores, Zhao Huanxi went to Uncle Li Hai's house, which was not far from his own home, to discuss digging a well.

When she came out again, it was dark and raining heavily. She was just wondering how to get back when she saw a figure walking out of the darkness with an umbrella and a lantern.

"Huanhuan, I'm here to take you back."

Huanxi felt warm in his heart and quickly jumped under her umbrella. The two of them walked in the rain together under the same umbrella.

"Thank you for picking me up." Huanxi said with a smile.

She discovered a small detail: the two of them were a little cramped under one umbrella, and Xu Qingzhao tilted the umbrella towards her, while Xu Qingzhao himself was half soaked by the rain.

"What are you thanking me for? I'm not an outsider."

"If it's not an outsider, could it be an insider?"

Xu Qingzhao smiled evilly: "It's not impossible for me to be your wife."

"Xu Qingzhao, you're so smooth-talking now, huh? I still like the way you used to blush when you just said a few words to me."

Xu Qingzhao was frustrated and looked at her resentfully: "I'm wrong, Huanhuan..."

In fact, Uncle Li Hai's home was not far away, only a few minutes away. If she made up her mind, it would not be impossible to run back in the rain.

This guy came out in the rain to perform, he really had ulterior motives...

When they got home, it was time for dinner. Zhao Huanxi, Xu Qingzhao, Yu Yan, Xu Jinchu, and their three little girls sat at the same table. There were ten dishes for the seven of them.

Huanxi looked at the two chefs in charge and thought to himself that he had really found a treasure.

They ate their meals in the kitchen, cooking up two vegetarian dishes and trying to make do. But Huanxi lectured them. She ordered them to have two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, no less. They had to eat until they were full. Going hungry was not an option.

After dinner, I saw that the rain not only did not stop but was getting heavier, so I became a little worried about Hongying.

At this moment, the child and Xu Jinchu went to bed, leaving the three adults to drink tea in the corridor.

Chunliu came over and bowed, asking, "Madam, the snacks you asked me to make for dinner are ready. When will they be served?"

Huanxi sighed, "You guys go and rest. I'll take care of things myself when my guests arrive."

"Madam, please let us servants do this kind of work. You are the mistress, how can you do such rough work?"

Huanxi's mouth was about to grin from ear to ear...Mistress... She was about to burst out laughing when she thought that a social animal could also become a mistress...

(Please give five-star praise. Thank you very much)
