A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"it is good."

The couple spent their first night in the house.

The next morning, Qin Zheng went to the front yard early. After Yun Luo got up, washed up, and packed her things, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door, and there was Aunt Zhang, carrying a bowl of mixed dishes, including fish pieces, braised pork, crispy pork, and some vegetables.

"Daughter, this is what my husband just brought over. He brought you a bowl. Don't worry, last night I specifically told my husband that although these are leftovers, those important people didn't touch them. I had my husband pick them out especially for you. They're very clean. I saw that you're heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for you to eat. You can cook some porridge for yourself later."

That's why some people are wasteful.

The dishes were served perfectly, but those people didn't touch a single bite. In the end, they took them off the plate and fed them to the pigs. Isn't that a waste of food?

Yunlu was touched. They had only met by chance, yet Aunt Zhang was so kind to her. She accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"When you're away from home, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. My husband and I have experienced this too. In this courtyard, it's just the two of us. When you come, I have company. From now on, we'll take care of each other."

Yunlu thanked her, and Aunt Zhang and her grandson went back into the house.

Yunlu went back and closed the door. She wasn't hungry yet, so she took a bowl and turned it upside down. Brother Qin had an hour's rest time at noon, and she was waiting for him to come back so they could eat together.

Since she had just arrived and didn't know the situation, Yunluo only dared to move around in the backyard to get a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Judging that it was about time, she turned back and saw Qin Zheng had returned, carrying an oil paper package in his hand.

"Brother Qin." Yun Luo took it and opened it, her eyes lighting up. "Is it white jade soft cake?"

She ate it once at the inn, and Brother Qin remembered that she liked it and specially bought it for her?

"Wait a minute."

Yunluo went inside, carefully placed half of the bowl, and headed to the next room. When she entered, Aunt Zhang and her family of three were eating around a small square table. On the table was a bowl of white rice porridge and a bowl of mixed vegetables, but the meat and vegetables in the bowl were not as neatly arranged as in Yunluo's bowl; clearly, they were leftovers.

Yunlu felt a pang of emotion. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were so kind and honest; they gave her the best of everything.

"Girl, your Thirteen is back too, right? Come and have something to eat with us."

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, the vegetables you sent are still here. My husband bought me some snacks, and I'm bringing some over for the children." With that, Yunlu nodded and went out.

Aunt Zhang opened the pastries, and Uncle Zhang was dumbfounded when he saw them. "Oh my, this is white jade soft cake?"

He helped out in the kitchen, so he had naturally seen him before.

“Is this expensive?”

"It's expensive. I heard some young noblemen say that if they wanted to buy this, it would cost two taels of silver per piece."

"What?!" Aunt Zhang was so shocked she almost dropped her chopsticks. She glanced down at the piece in her hand. "That's a tael of silver! It's too precious. I have to return it..."

"Come back," Uncle Zhang stopped her. "They brought you the vegetables to thank you for delivering them this morning. What will they think if you return them? Since they meant well, just accept them."

"But we don't have anything to give back, and those dishes aren't even ours," Aunt Zhang said worriedly. Then, she suddenly remembered something, "These pastries are so expensive, and you just bought them like that? It seems you're not short of money. So why are you doing such dangerous work here?"

Uncle Zhang thought for a while but still couldn't figure it out. "Every family has its own problems. I think the couple is really honest. If you feel bad about it, go visit them when you have time. That girl is young and pregnant on her own, so you can help her out."

"it is good."

Yunluo and Qin Zheng were completely unaware of what was happening with the Zhang couple.

After dinner, Yunluo went out to buy some toiletries. She was in a hurry and didn't bring much with her. Besides, the two of them had brought too much stuff in, which would have looked awkward, since they were using the excuse that they couldn't make ends meet.

Now, he met up with Aunt Zhang, brought his grandson, and the three of them went shopping.

Aunt Zhang had lived there for a long time and knew which street sold the cheapest and best products. She pointed to the street and Yunluo bought some things. She also bought a rattle drum for Xiaodouding. He was so happy that he held Yunluo's hand and wouldn't let go.

Aunt Zhang quickly calculated that her grandson missed his mother. She wondered how her son and daughter-in-law were doing and if they had anything to eat.

On the way back, Aunt Zhang helped carry all the heavy things, saying that pregnant women shouldn't carry too much weight, while Yunluo felt very relaxed.

"Auntie, you're just like my mother, good-natured and kind."

Aunt Zhang laughed, "To be honest, my daughter is about your age. Seeing you is like seeing my own daughter."

"Get out of the way, don't block the road."

A rough, gruff voice came from behind, and Aunt Zhang grabbed Yunluo's hand and led her to the roadside.

Yunluo only saw a group of men crowding around and passing by, surrounded by onlookers.

She asked suspiciously, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"It's Miss Susu who's come out. Look, the road has been cleared. Poor people like us can't get close. We can only watch from afar. By the way, Miss Susu is the top courtesan of Yongcui Pavilion. I heard that Yongcui Pavilion has made a lot of money from her. You should take a look."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she glanced at Yun Luo. This girl always covered half of her face with a headscarf when she went out. If you ask me, how could Su Su be as pretty as this girl? She's like a fairy.

Of course, she wouldn't say anything carelessly. In Yongcui Pavilion, being good-looking isn't necessarily a good thing. For a young lady, living a clean and honest life is more important than anything else.

"Miss Susu, look at me...it's me..."

“Miss Susu, this is my house deed. I like you…”

"Oh no, I'm going to faint," Miss Susu glanced at me.

"Bullshit, she's looking at me, not you."

Amidst the cacophony and the throngs of people, Yunluo didn't see any beauties, but she did spot a bunch of madmen. She couldn't help but wonder, what exactly does the legendary Susu look like?

Of course, she didn't dare to, nor did she want to, try to squeeze in. She was pregnant, and since she knew she would see him sooner or later, she left with Aunt Zhang.

In the crowd, various hairpins, silver coins, gifts, and donations were piled on the body of a woman dressed in a light gauze dress.

She smiled slightly, and had her maid return all the items. She said softly, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness shown to you gentlemen. To express my gratitude, I will be hosting a garden party in a few days. At that time, all gentlemen are welcome to attend, regardless of their social status."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience erupted in cheers, shouting "Susu!"

The woman smiled gracefully, turned around, and got into the flower-decorated car behind her.

After the curtain was drawn, the girl's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes showed undisguised disgust.

Before long, the maid boarded the carriage, and as the carriage moved along, a lot of things were thrown into it.

These were all things that Susu had rejected earlier.

As the maid picked things up, she said, "Miss, this time they brought out more things than last time, and they're more valuable too."

The girl glanced at them coldly and said disdainfully, "They're all just mundane things. All I want is one person."

"Miss, you can't mention that person. That person is a remnant of the Qin Marquis's family that the Emperor wants to arrest."
