Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Yu Jiao felt that he was coaxing her, and she felt somewhat benefited. Perhaps it was because of the soft nature of women that they particularly liked gentleness and the feeling of being cherished.
The two sat down at the round table to have breakfast. In front of Yu Jiao was a bowl of steamed goat's milk. The aroma of milk filled her nose. Yu Jiao scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it. It was rare that there was no fishy smell of milk. It must have been mixed with honey. It was sweet, just the taste she liked. After coming to Taiyan, she had not drunk any dairy products.
Seeing that Yu Jiao liked it, Yu Qizhe placed another bowl in front of her.
"Where did you get it from?" There is no way to keep the milk fresh here. Now that autumn has just begun and the weather is not too cold, the goat milk must have been freshly squeezed. Yu Jiao was quite curious.
Yu Qizhe said succinctly: "The kitchen has a few female goats. If you want to drink goat milk in the future, just ask them to make it."
Some time ago, he and his colleagues tasted steamed goat's milk in a restaurant and thought Yu Jiao would like it. He also heard that drinking goat's milk can help women replenish their blood, so he asked someone in the kitchen to ask about the recipe and went to the market to buy a few female goats that had just given birth.
Yu Jiao nodded. She didn’t think much about it and just thought it was the kitchen servants’ own idea when they were preparing the dishes.
Jianjia was serving the dishes on the side. Seeing that Yu Qizhe had no intention of saying more, she began to look at the new son-in-law with a new respect. Most men like to show off and boast, and if they put in a little effort, they would want to show off in front of the woman they love.
Thinking about how her brother-in-law did not call the maid to serve him when he got up early this morning, and how he walked out very quietly, and also specifically told them not to wake the girl up, and to wait until the girl woke up before serving breakfast, Jianjia's impression of Yu Qizhe improved a little.
She smiled and explained to Yu Jiao: "I heard from the cook that the goats were specially picked by the son-in-law at the market, and he also told the kitchen staff to take good care of them and steam goat milk for the girl every day."
Yu Jiao looked up at Yu Qizhe and saw that he was eating calmly, as if this was nothing to worry about.
She felt a little warm in her heart. She was originally a little worried that things would be very different after marriage. After all, in her past, she had seen many people looking tired after getting married, which was very different from when they were in love.
Many men feel that there is no need to cherish their wives anymore after getting married, since they have already brought the wife home.
Yu Jiao had heard countless people say that marriage needed to be managed, but she was not very socially adept or tactful. She tossed and turned the night before her wedding, partly because she was worried that she would not be able to maintain her marriage. She even wondered if she would one day become one of those women hiding in the backyard, jealous of men and scheming against them all day long.
But Yu Qizhe's thoughtful action suddenly made her realize that good relationships and marriages do not require much effort to maintain, and the desire to be good to each other is hidden in the little things in daily life.
People cannot predict things that have not happened. All she can do is grasp the present and not let some bad thoughts affect her current mood and state.
After breakfast, Yu Qizhe wiped his hands with a towel and took Yu Jiao's hand: "Let's go, mother and the others are still living in the house in Yong'an Lane."
Perhaps she had thought it through, Yu Jiao stopped being shy and openly held Yu Qizhe's hand, with their fingers crossed.
Yu Qizhe was slightly stunned.
Yu Jiao smiled at him and said, "I was wondering why you weren't in a hurry." It turned out that Aunt Song and Uncle Mengshan didn't live here.
Yu Qizhe moved his fingers slightly, and there was no gap between their fingers anymore. He held Yu Jiao's hand and walked out with a faint smile on his face. He said, "Father and mother wanted to go back to Changkui. They didn't want to move back and forth, so they didn't come to live with us."
Yu Jiao didn't say anything about asking Yu Mengshan and his wife to stay in the capital. Even if she stayed in the capital alone, she would prefer the free life in the countryside.
Although Shengjing is prosperous and bustling, Yu Mengshan and his wife have spent most of their lives in Qingyu Village, where there are people and things they are familiar with. They are not young people with lofty ambitions and may not think that the capital is good.
The two turned to the screen wall, where Liuzi was already waiting with a carriage. Seeing them coming, Liuzi smiled with joy. Although he and Song Nian were both sent here by the Mu family, they were not born in the Mu family. Having followed Yu Qizhe for so long, they had already regarded Yu Qizhe as their master. They knew very well how difficult it was for their young master to get his wish and marry the third daughter of the Liu family, and they were happy for their young master from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Zi bowed respectfully and said sweetly, "I pay my respects to the Madam."
Yu Jiao smiled and nodded at him, then walked to the carriage, but did not see the stool.
Yu Qizhe also saw it. He put his big hands around Yu Jiao's waist and helped her into the carriage.
In broad daylight, Yu Jiao's face was slightly red, and the warm touch on her waist made it difficult for her not to think of the strong and hot temperature of the big hands last night.
Liuzi seemed to have just remembered, and said with an annoyed look: "Look how careless I am. There have never been women sitting in the carriage before. I forgot to put the stool. Madam, please don't blame me."
Yu Qizhe glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don't forget next time." He lowered the car curtain.
Liuzi was originally laughing, but he was startled by this sight. He hurriedly pulled the rope to harness the carriage and led the carriage out of the screen wall. However, he was stopped as soon as he walked out of the mansion.
