Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

When Yu Nuan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a ray of sunlight shining in from outside.

Yu Nuan sat up abruptly, remembering that she had to serve tea to her parents-in-law this morning. Madam Li had taught her these etiquette rules before she left home.

"Fish, what time is it?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning."

At eight o'clock, which is the Chen hour in ancient times, Yu Nuan hurriedly got out of bed and dressed. Because of the original owner's personality, even if she was unwilling to marry, her years of upbringing had ingrained her in her bones, and she would not do anything impolite.

Yu Nuan suddenly realized something was wrong. Turning around, she saw that she had just woken up in Zhou Yu'an's bed, meaning she had slept in the same bed with him last night. Yu Nuan was incredibly relieved that Zhou Yu'an wasn't in the room at that moment.

As Zhou Yu'an entered, Yu Nuan complained to him, "Why didn't you wake me up this morning? I was embarrassed in front of my parents."

"Don't rush, my family's rules aren't that strict. Take your time washing up."

Now that the room was bright, Yu Nuan could finally see Zhou Yu'an's face clearly: sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a tall, upright figure. To be honest, he wouldn't be any less handsome than male celebrities in modern times.

Hearing the knock, Zhou Yu'an opened the door.

Zhou Xuanyi brought Yu Nuan water to wash her face, and Yu Nuan thanked her, making Zhou Xuanyi feel flattered. She quickly shook her head and said there was no need to thank her.

Yu Nuan also knew that her attitude last night had hurt the little girl.

After Yu Nuan finished dressing up, Zhou Yu'an led her to the hall.

Everyone from the Zhou family was present, and Yu Nuan matched each person with the original owner's memories.

Zhou's father was a teacher who ran a school in the village. He was the only teacher in the surrounding villages, and children from neighboring villages would come to Zhou's father to learn basic knowledge.

Speaking of Zhou's father, one must mention that he passed the county-level imperial examination at a young age, but he never managed to pass the provincial-level examination. Zhou's father always believed in his talent and thought he would definitely pass the imperial examination and bring honor to his ancestors. Because of the imperial examination, Zhou's family was not wealthy. His parents arranged for him to marry Zhou's mother. Zhou's mother was hardworking and shrewd. After the marriage, Zhou's father continued to study for the examination, while Zhou's mother managed the household, farmed, and raised money for Zhou's father's examination expenses.

It wasn't until Zhou's father discovered Zhou Yu'an's talent for learning that he gave up his own path of taking the imperial examinations and began teaching in the village to nurture Zhou Yu'an, and Zhou Yu'an certainly did not disappoint his father's expectations.

Zhou's mother seemed quite kind, but Yu Nuan knew that she made all the decisions regarding the family, big and small. Zhou's father knew that his wife had been making sacrifices for the family because of his exams, and he felt guilty towards her, so he generally didn't object to her decisions.

Zhou Yuxian, the eldest brother, was honest and hardworking, doing all the work in the fields and at home. His wife, Wang Qingqing, was the daughter of the village chief and also a symbol of diligence; they had two sons. The second brother, Zhou Yuxuan, was relatively clever, but lacked academic talent and loved business, though their father didn't want him to pursue it. His wife was from the next village and had a son and a daughter. Yu Nuan didn't know much about her.

The last one is Zhou Xuanyi, the youngest sister of the Zhou family, whom Yu Nuan met this morning. Zhou Xuanyi is fifteen years old this year, and her parents have not yet arranged a marriage for her. They are thinking that after Zhou Yu'an passes the imperial examination next year, they can find a good family for their little sister.

"Father, have some tea."

"Mother, have some tea."

Yu Nuan knelt on the prepared cushion and served tea to Zhou's parents.

"Alright, alright, get up quickly!" Zhou's mother smiled as she took Yu Nuan's teacup, took a sip, gave Yu Nuan the gift she had prepared, and then quickly helped Yu Nuan up.

Yu Nuan got up with Zhou's mother's help.

Zhou Yu'an began to introduce the other people to Yu Nuan, starting with the eldest brother. Yu Nuan also took out the gifts that the original owner had prepared for everyone and gave them to everyone one by one.

Yu Nuan thought that the original owner had already chosen the cheapest gift for her, but it was still a bit expensive for the Zhou family.

Looking at the hairpin Yu Nuan gave her, Zhou's eldest sister-in-law felt a little apprehensive. She looked at her mother-in-law, who gestured for her to take it without worry, and only then did Zhou's eldest sister-in-law accept it. Zhou's second sister-in-law, on the other hand, happily accepted it. Her feelings towards Yu Nuan were complicated. She was happy that her younger brother-in-law had married a wealthy young lady, meaning they wouldn't have to worry about the family's education expenses, but she also felt a pang of jealousy seeing Yu Nuan's beauty and generosity.

After the tea ceremony, breakfast was served. The Zhou family ate together as a whole family. Perhaps because they had just held a banquet, the breakfast was quite substantial.

After the meal, Zhou's mother didn't ask Yu Nuan to do any chores. In order to maintain the original owner's character, Yu Nuan put down her chopsticks and went back to her room.

Two days later was the day for her to return to her parents' home. During her two days at the Zhou family's house, Yu Nuan mostly stayed in her room except for meals and bathroom breaks. When she was bored, she would have Yu Yu check the outside for her while she hid in her room reading books from her spatial storage. Zhou Yu'an usually stayed in his study reading as well, and the two of them barely spoke during the day.

During her two days at the Zhou family home, Yu Nuan became familiar with the layout of the house. The Zhou family's courtyard was similar to a traditional courtyard house in later generations, with a total of four large rooms and three smaller rooms. The large rooms housed Zhou's parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, Zhou Yu'an and Yu Nuan. The children were currently living in the smaller rooms. The youngest daughter of the second eldest brother's family was still young and lived with her parents. In the corner was Zhou Yu'an's study, which was secluded and quiet. Yu Nuan had never been inside the study and did not know its layout.

On the day Yu Nuan returned to her parents' home, she got up early. Zhou's mother had already prepared the gifts for Yu Nuan's parents. After saying goodbye to the Zhou family, there was a carriage parked outside the courtyard. Of course, the Zhou family did not have a carriage; it was rented for Yu Nuan's homecoming.

Yu Nuan was used to the convenience of traveling in modern society, and after sitting in the carriage for a short while, she felt a little uncomfortable from the bumpy ride.

Seeing that Yu Nuan was in pain, Zhou Yu'an gave her a piece of candy, saying, "Eat a piece of candy, it might make you feel better."

Yu Nuan glanced at Zhou Yu'an and chose to trust his advice. She put the candy in her mouth. Yu Nuan didn't know what kind of candy it was, but it was a bit like the mint candy of later generations. Sure enough, she felt much better.

Yu Nuan looked at Zhou Yu'an gratefully. To be honest, Zhou Yu'an had done a very good job as a husband in the past few days.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage came to a stop.

The coachman said, "Young master, we have arrived at our destination."

Zhou Yu'an leaned out first and jumped off the carriage, followed by Yu Nuan. Zhou Yu'an reached out and helped Yu Nuan off the carriage.

Zhou Yu'an and the coachman carried the things, while Yu Nuan looked at the gate, which was both strange and familiar, feeling a bit apprehensive about returning home.

Every time Yu Nuan does a mission, she inherits the original owner's memories and also inherits Yu Nuan's emotions. So when Yu Nuan thought about seeing her parents soon, she felt both excited and apprehensive.

The gatekeeper saw Yu Nuan and Zhou Yu'an and said happily, "Miss is back! Quickly, go tell Master and Madam that Miss and Young Master are back."

While instructing the people around him to run and inform them, he also helped take the gifts from Zhou Yu'an's hands.
