After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

They also made a lot of money. At first, they thought that selling five bowls would be good.

Looking at the situation now, we don't even have enough flour at home. At this rate, we'll have two meals tomorrow...

To everyone's surprise, Yunniang thought that selling ten bowls would be a lot, but many more came in one after another until they were all sold out.

In less than two hours, Yunniang's noodles were all gone.

As they were packing up to close, quite a few burly men came over to look. Yunniang smiled and said, "Come again tomorrow; there's nothing left today."

The burly man gave her five coins: "Young lady, why don't you sell me this mushroom soup? Everyone in Shikanchang who works here says this mushroom soup is delicious."

"Since we're already here, let's try some."

Yunniang nodded, took the money, and gave him all the soup.

Looking at the empty equipment, he felt quite satisfied.

After cleaning the utensils, Yunniang went to find Uncle Xu at the edge of the market and left her things with him for safekeeping. Then, Yunniang went to buy half a bag of flour, as well as meat and vegetables that the family was missing.

I returned home with a full load as usual. This time, I bought vegetables and flour, and I also bought a chicken. It would taste even better if I used the chicken broth to make mushroom soup and served it with noodles.

The chicken cost about thirty coins, a bag of flour cost forty coins, and I also bought ten coins worth of other vegetables, which filled my entire bill, totaling less than one hundred coins.

If you think about it carefully, Yunniang has already made money on her very first day of setting up her stall.

I originally thought that opening a stall would definitely require losing money at the beginning, and it would only become profitable slowly, but I never expected it to be so good from the start.

Jiang Zhiyun was delighted, and despite carrying a heavy load of flour, she walked briskly.

The chicken was packed in a bag by the vendor, and it was quite well-behaved to carry it away like that.

As I walked, I suddenly felt my hand go light. I wondered, who would steal something in broad daylight?

Yunniang raised her foot and kicked backward, landing a kick on the man's calf.

"Look at this nice fabric, why aren't you hiding?" Yunniang looked up and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

“Zhiyun…” His voice trembled, as if he had a thousand questions to ask, but in the end he said, “Why did you come out alone to buy so many things?”

"I'll get it for you."

Looking at her delicate and elegant demeanor, Jiang Zhiyun was reminded of her past memories.

Before she got married in her previous life, she also had aspirations. She wanted to study hard, learn to write, and aspired to be like those candidates who could take the imperial examinations.

So whenever Zhao Guifen urged her to go to the market to buy things, she would try to go to the private school and listen to the lessons while squatting in the corner.

It was during that time that Jiang Zhiyun learned to read and write, and realized she needed to work hard to move on. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to recover from those wasted years of marriage in her previous life.

The one who taught her was none other than this young master Lu Shao.

He was very kind and gentle. He knew Jiang Zhiyun's thoughts and would take the initiative to teach her. At first, when Lu Shao heard her stumbling as she recited the poem, he gave her a few pointers.

Over time, they spent more and more time together.

Jiang Zhiyun learned a lot from him. They often met at the market, which attracted the attention of the villagers, leading to a lot of gossip.

Jiang Zhiyun was also beaten by Zhao Guifen and cursed as a little bitch by Jiang Laosan because of this.

After the engagement was arranged, Jiang Zhiyun left this inner turmoil in her pre-wedding days from her previous life.

Looking back now, it really was quite a long time ago.

"Young Master Lu, it's been a long time. I hope you've been well."

These words were spoken on behalf of her past self.

In short, I feel grateful to Lu Shao.

Lu Shao looked at her, then asked gently, "Zhiyun, it's been a long time. Why haven't you come to ask me about my studies for several days? Have you learned everything?"

"Are you good at practicing calligraphy?"

He seemed a little anxious and took out some clean Xuan paper and a brush: "I bought these at the market, thinking you might need them."

"You write it down, and I'll take a look at it for you."

“Young Master Lu,” Jiang Zhiyun interrupted him firmly, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need these things.”

"..." His hand paused, as if he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Jiang Zhiyun could see the evasion in his eyes. He continued, "That's alright. As long as you come to ask me again in the future, I'll..."

"So what?" Jiang Zhiyun looked at him. "It's been a long time since I've seen Young Master Lu. I think I should make it clear that I'm already married."

After hearing this, Lu Shao paused:

"Zhiyun, I just want you to be doing well."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu. I'm doing very well, and of course I hope you find your own happiness soon."

Yunniang spoke very sincerely when she said this.

"..." Lu Shao didn't speak, he just looked at her like that.

After saying that, Jiang Zhiyun took away the things he was carrying. These things didn't need any help, mainly because Jiang Zhiyun was strong enough on her own.

Lu Shao watched her retreating figure, not knowing how long he had stood there...

Jiang Zhiwan, who happened to be out buying groceries, secretly witnessed the whole scene.

Jiang Zhiwan curled her lips into a smile. Jiang Zhiyun was already married, yet she was still entangled with that Young Master Lu. She wondered what Xie Shuheng would do if he found out.

She was quite eager to see the spectacle.

However, Lu Shao will also be a very capable official in the future. She remembers that he was very successful in his previous life, and he was the second-highest scorer in the imperial examination, second only to Xu Ping'an.

It seems he never married in his past life, and now that I think about it, perhaps it was because he couldn't forget Jiang Zhiyun.

Perhaps... she should become friends with him?

Jiang Zhiwan quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Lu Shao, and bowed to him: "I am Jiang Zhiwan, the elder sister of Yunniang."

"Now that I see Mr. Lu standing here, have you and my sister had a fight?"

"No. I have absolutely no connection with Zhiyun." Lu Shao stepped back a little, not wanting to talk to Jiang Zhiwan any longer.

Jiang Zhiwan sighed, "My younger sister didn't have a good life at her parents' home, and as her eldest sister, I felt sorry for her. Now I don't know how she's doing after she gets married, or whether her husband's family treats her well."

"I saw her back just now and wanted to ask her something. I'm not worried about anything. As long as my sister is well, I'm willing to risk my life!" Jiang Zhiwan looked very distressed.

Lu Shao immediately handed Jiang Zhiwan the money he had on him, along with the jade hairpin that held her hair in place: "This is all I have with me right now. Give these things to Zhiyun. Don't let her suffer financial hardship."

Jiang Zhiwan's eyes lit up. This amount of money was worth far more than her six taels! And this jade hairpin was also valuable.

“Of course, I will definitely hand it over to her in my own way.” Jiang Zhiwan feigned sincerity. “Young Master Lu, don’t worry. I’m taking care of Yunniang’s health. I’m her elder sister, how could I not love her?”

Lu Shao nodded, still looking worried, and said, "If Zhiyun encounters any difficulties in the future, come to the Lu family to find me. I will definitely help you."

"Of course." Jiang Zhiwan bowed, knowing that it was not appropriate to say too much at their first meeting, and that her words just now should not arouse Lu Shao's suspicion.
