The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

The next morning, Song Yuntang was awakened by a knock on the door.

Hearing the sound of light footsteps in the next room, she turned over, but had no intention of getting up immediately.

The person who came so early must be either Mu Dong or Mu Qiu, or the second brother. Anyway, they are all acquaintances, so even if they see Xu Qingye staying in her yard, everyone should be able to understand.

After all, they are an engaged couple.

The courtyard door was opened from the inside, and when Lin Jingyao saw Xu Qingye, a layer of frost immediately appeared in his eyes.

The anger boiling in his heart made his face turn cold, and the knuckles of his clenched fists began to turn white.

"Where's Tang'er?"

Xu Qingye remained calm as always, "She's still sleeping in the room. If Young Master Lin has anything to say, it's the same as telling me."

Lin Jingyao suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Xu Qingye, do you think you are worthy of her?"

The man's eyes were deep. "Whether she is worthy of me or not is a matter between me and her. It is not Mr. Lin's turn to judge."

"you!"

The good manners that Lin Jingyao usually maintained were almost gone at this moment. Perhaps because he was too angry, his breathing was a little rough, and he stepped forward and grabbed his collar.

"Xu Qingye, Tang'er is young and naive, how could you be so ignorant? I heard Tang'er say that you two are getting married soon, and you can't wait for a few days?"

Xu Qingye calmly reached out and grabbed the fist that was pulling at his collar. It didn't seem like he was using much strength, but in fact, Lin Jingyao felt as if his bones were about to be crushed.

After all, he was a young man who grew up in a wealthy family. He had never had to carry anything on his shoulders or in his hands since he was a child, and there was always someone to take care of him.

Although Xu Qingye is also a scholar, he grew up in the mountains after all. He has been helping his family with farm work since he was a child. He can do everything that other mountain men can do. Although he has been ill for a few years, he has a solid foundation after all.

Lin Jingyao let go of Xu Qingye's clothes and struggled to pull his hand back.

Xu Qingye remained calm. "If it weren't for your Lin family's repeated mischief, I wouldn't have to worry about Tang'er's safety and stay here. I know better than Mr. Lin how important a woman's reputation is. But I'm her fiancé. Even though it's against the rules, no one would say anything if I stayed here, right?"

Lin Jingyao had no way to refute.

"I don't want to have any unnecessary arguments with you. I came here to see Tang'er. Go and call her out."

Song Yuntang got up calmly, dressed neatly, yawned, and opened the door.

"What does Master Lin want from me?"

"Zhao Zhao needs you to mediate. Come with me to the county town." After being interrupted by Xu Qingye, Lin Jingyao obviously lost his patience.

"Mr. Lin, are you ordering me?" Song Yuntang stepped forward. "I don't know on what basis you are asking to accompany me to the county seat. When Madam Lin came yesterday, I told her that I would not accept mediation on this matter and would obey the decision of the county magistrate."

Lin Jingyao frowned.

"Tang'er, stop being unreasonable!"

Song Yuntang said indifferently, "If you think that not accepting mediation is unreasonable, then just treat it as me being unreasonable. I'm getting married soon, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Lin family anymore. I hope Master Lin will consider our past friendship and not disturb my life again."

She nodded slightly, closed the gate directly, and looked back at the man who had been standing behind her.

"Xu Qingye, I'm hungry."

Hearing her words that seemed to be in a coquettish tone, Xu Qingye smiled lightly and touched her head, "I'll go cook for you."

After saying that, he raised his leg and walked towards the kitchen.

Lin Jingyao, who had always been conceited, was ruthlessly locked outside the door by Song Yuntang. He already felt humiliated, and when he heard the conversation in the yard, he suddenly felt sour in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, turned around and left with Awang. All kinds of emotions flooded his heart, making him a little overwhelmed for a moment.

……

After Song Yuntang finished washing up, he fed the chickens and ducks, picked up eggs, and watered the chives and pepper trees on the windowsill. He also prepared Xu Qingye's breakfast.

In the morning, I cooked rice porridge and steamed a bowl of egg custard. I also heated up two pieces of date paste cakes left over from last night by sticking them on the edge of the pot and served them on the table.

Xu Qingye handed a spoon to Song Yuntang.

"After breakfast, I'll accompany you to find a shop."

"it is good."

Song Yuntang naturally took the spoon and started eating.

Just after finishing the meal, there was another knock on the door. "Brother and sister-in-law, are you there?"

Song Yuntang was about to stand up, but was held down by Xu Qingye.

"I'll go."

He opened the gate and looked at Xu Wencheng who was standing outside the yard with a bag on his back.

"What are you here for?"

"Let someone come in and sit down first." Song Yuntang also came out of the house and greeted Xu Wencheng warmly.

Xu Wencheng waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, no, Mom was worried that my eldest brother didn't have any clean clothes while staying at my sister-in-law's house, so she asked me to bring some over this morning. I've already delivered the things, so I won't bother my eldest brother and sister-in-law. They're busy with their own things."

As he spoke, he took off the bag on his shoulder and stuffed it into Xu Qingye's hand, then turned around and left quickly.

Looking at the bundle in his hand, Xu Qingye felt a little helpless.

If someone didn't know the reason, they would think that his parents were eager to abandon him.

Looking at his strange expression, Song Yuntang raised his hand to touch his nose, with a smile at the corner of his lips barely concealed.

This man who has always been mature, steady, calm and composed, his reaction today is so different from his usual image that it is simply ridiculous.

Seeing the smiling face of the girl at the door, Xu Qingye just shook his head helplessly, put the bag in the house, and went out with her towards the academy.

……

Xu Qingye seemed to have a destination in mind. After leading her across the half street next to the Yihe College, he turned a corner opposite the Yihe College and came to the street opposite the Feicuixuan where Song Yuntang had visited last time.

Next to the Jade Pavilion, near the direction of the Jardine Matheson College, is a wine shop.

The decoration of this tavern looks a bit old. There is a long cylindrical red lantern hanging at the door. The red paper outside the lantern has faded to light pink.

The last time Song Yuntang came here, he had noticed this shop.

It’s just that Feicuixuan and the surrounding shops are all in a line, and the decoration and furnishings are much more eye-catching. Only this wine shop is set back a little and looks inconspicuous.

At that time, she felt that this tavern was quite different from the business she wanted to do, so she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she took a fancy to the corridor in front of Feicuixuan.

Xu Qingye took Song Yuntang to the tavern. When passing by Feicuixuan, the shopkeeper Miao of Feicuixuan suddenly appeared at the door, smiling and greeting Song Yuntang.

"The girl is here again. Have you decided to come work at our Feicuixuan?"
