This second wife of the Yun family is the second young lady in the Yun family. If we separate them, for Old Man Yun and the others, Yun Ruoxia is the second wife of the Yun family, and for Yun Shenghua and the others, Yun Ling is the second wife of the Yun family.
But now that the whole family lives together, Yunling has become Yun Xiao Er Niang. Besides, it's often Yun Ruoxia who deals with the Lu family's business. Even if Lu's mother wants to find someone, she will definitely find Yun Ruoxia.
Zhang sorted out her thoughts, pointed to Yun Ruoxia who was joking and playing with Yun Ruochun, and said, "That's her."
Following the direction indicated, Madam Lu looked and secretly pondered. The man was not bad-looking, but he seemed rather shrewd, somewhat like Zi Ying. How could Huai Ge'er be...?
"Wife, does this second wife call you sister-in-law?"
"Of course, my two little rascals are only twelve and eleven."
Upon hearing that there were younger children, Lu's mother thought, "Isn't that another concubine?" Perhaps this is the correct concubine, so she asked again, "Madam, you are truly blessed. It's a pity that I have been unable to have a daughter. May I see these two young ladies and share in your good fortune?"
"certainly."
Zhang turned around and looked around, but there was no trace of Yunling and Old Lady Yun. Only Yun Chu and Dahei were left together; that brat just couldn't sit still.
"I'm so sorry, my youngest daughter is very active and can't sit still. She's wandered off somewhere again now."
"He's very active by nature; he's quite the character."
Zhang's eyebrows were smug, but she still spoke politely, "She's always running around the mountains, always causing trouble, like a monkey, you can't even tether her."
Of course, Lu's mother understood Zhang's proud little expression. She carefully observed Zhang's facial features and then looked at Yun Chu and Yun Ruochun's faces one by one. The family members were all good-looking, so the youngest daughter must be beautiful as well.
She now recalled that once Huai-ge'er had asked her if she knew how to make dried fish. Wasn't this person in front of her the one who loved cooking? The brat, he's already starting to fawn over her so quickly.
Uncle Cao also said he was reluctant to leave. Well, that's right. The young lady is still running on the mountain. If he can't wait for her, how can he bear to leave?
Thinking of her son's disheveled appearance, Madam Lu couldn't help but laugh. She was actually looking forward to meeting that young lady and seeing what was so special about her that made Huai-ge'er lose his composure like this.
Yunling had nothing special about her, she didn’t know. All she knew was that she was helpless to be caught by Old Lady Yun. She had originally taken Xiaobai out to have some fun, but she was caught after only a few steps and told to go to Qu Yuan Temple.
According to Granny Yun, if one could catch a glimpse of the dragon head at Qu Yuan Temple, it would ensure a smooth and prosperous year ahead, free from illness and disaster.
To be fair, the Qu Yuan Temple was packed with people. Some brought fresh fruits as offerings, others brought zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and still others brought fresh flowers. Very few people burned incense, but what was truly unexpected was the large number of people seeking marriage.
Yunling, holding Xiaobai's hand, stared intently at the woman in front of them holding the matchmaking rope and the love knot. The more she looked, the more familiar she seemed. Perhaps sensing Yunling's gaze, Madam Hu also looked over, and the corners of her lips instantly turned upwards.
"Big sister, what a coincidence! You're here to pray for your daughter's marriage prospects too?"
Old Lady Yun was also bewildered, "Good man, you've come here to pray for a marriage?"
"Why can't we ask for it? Qu Yuan and the Old Man Under the Moon are just two words. By the way, did your daughter come with you?"
Old Lady Yun hesitated a bit. She was quite satisfied with the young man and was just waiting to meet his parents to see what he was like. Madam Hu had also been interested in Chun Jie'er before, and it wouldn't be good if things went wrong. So she made an excuse and said, "He hasn't come yet."
"That's a pity. Yu-ge'er really went out with me today. If you ask me, if he could see your daughter, his heart would be completely devoted to her. He would definitely like her."
Qin Yu's nose was a little itchy, but he wouldn't do something as unrefined as picking his nose in public, so he wrinkled his nose and then leaned close to Yun Ruochun, saying, "How are you so capable? The flowers and plants you find are all the most resilient."
"No, I just used a bit too much force. I pulled it out because it was harder to pull out other flowers and plants."
"That's really impressive."
Yun Ruochun blushed at the praise. Turning around, she saw that Yun Ruoxia and Yun Chu were nowhere to be seen. Anxious to go back and look for them, she was stopped by Qin Yu.
"Hey, I have a little game here called 'Shoot the Powder Ball,' why don't you try it? If you win, we'll split the reward."
"I won't."
"The reward is all yours. It's very simple: draw the bow and shoot an arrow. You're so smart, you'll definitely be able to do it."
Yun Ruochun shook her head again.
Qin Yu immediately lowered his head, trying to put on a pitiful look, "Please, I lose every year. If I can't win back this time, I can't stay in this industry anymore."
"Really? You can just draw a bow and shoot an arrow?"
"certainly!"
Qin Yu led Yun Ruochun to the next step, where the space was more open, but there were mostly young men around. Before Yun Ruochun could get scared, the group of people immediately showed her respect.
They had never seen Qin Yu bring any women out for a stroll before; this was the first time. He must have taken a liking to this young lady, so how could they dare to be presumptuous?
"Today I've brought a formidable young lady to dampen your spirits. The rewards for the shooting powder group should be released early. Hey, where did Brother Huai go?"
"Huai Ge'er has been dragged by Song Xiao Liulang to ride a small boat. Look, he's floating on the river right now."
"Never mind, let's bring the bow up first and try it out."
After a response came from a short distance away, a specially made, smaller bow was quickly handed over. Yun Ruochun picked it up and tried it out at Qin Yu's signal, but due to her nervousness, the bow broke as soon as she drew the string.
Those present gasped in surprise, their gazes shifting from Yun Ruochun to Qin Yu's face.
Qin Yu didn't mind at all and said happily, "I told you it's amazing, didn't I?" Then he comforted Yun Ruochun and said, "It's okay, this bow is small. People break it every year. There are plenty of spare bows."
Those present: ... (Ah, yes, yes, you're right)
When the second bow was brought up, Qin Yu picked it up, attached an arrow, and handed it to Yun Ruochun, saying, "Here, hold it here with your left hand, pull it here with your right, fix the arrow with your fingers, and look straight ahead."
Yun Ruochun felt uneasy. Even though she was learning how to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, she felt something was off when she touched Qin Yu's fingers.
"Stand up straight and draw the bow."
As soon as the word "bow" was uttered, Qin Yu placed his hand on Yun Ruochun's hand, guiding her to draw the bow and release the arrow...
