Chapter 1195 Extra: Be Honest
Liu Huan caught Fu Ya, and after a moment of stunned silence, he quickly recovered and replied, "My dear daughter!"
"Father, there are some snacks and tea made by Mother at home."
After calling him "Daddy," Fuya felt pretty good, so she called him again.
Beibei told Baobei that although Daddy might compete with Mommy, he would make Mommy happy, so Fuya wants to have a Daddy.
"Fuya, I'm going to talk to Lord Liu... no, I'm going to talk to your father. You go play over there first."
Qin Nanyan touched her forehead and changed her words under Fu Ya's expectant gaze. She could clearly see Liu Huan's smug expression.
After Fuya ran away, Qin Nanyan immediately questioned Liu Huan, "Lord Liu, you are so despicable as to force a woman into your hands, even resorting to violence against a child! You are utterly vile!"
Liu Huan sent someone to follow Fu Ya, so he must have said something to the child in private. Fu Ya is the most sensible person, so she was probably tricked into changing her story.
Fuya is still young and doesn't understand the meaning of marriage. Does Liu Huan, who is so old, not understand?
"Miss Qin, you've misunderstood."
Liu Huan was also baffled. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Qin Nanyan grab a broom from the corner and head straight for him.
"Get out! Get out of here right now!"
Qin Nanyan was quite imposing and directly kicked Liu Huan out of the house.
Once everyone left, the garden immediately became quiet.
Lin Yuesha appeared behind the artificial hill and said, "Sister Qin, you have misunderstood Lord Liu."
Liu Huan took the initiative to visit, and although he was a bit inflexible in his speech, he seemed to be sincere towards Qin Nanyan. Although Lin Yuesha never believed that women should depend on men for survival, having a husband here would make life much easier. With Liu Huan as a backer, there were many benefits, and it would also prevent petty people from coveting her.
Qin Nanyan and Yu Li are both beautiful, and they live alone, which has long posed a safety hazard.
Furthermore, if what Lord Liu said is true, the neighbors are not easy to get along with either. The child's lack of upbringing is enough to show that her parents' upbringing is problematic. No matter how much Qin Nanyan does, Fuya will still be bullied.
In this environment, Fuya couldn't find any playmates.
“Sister Yue Sha, I am not good enough for him.”
Qin Nanyan smiled bitterly. If she could find someone to rely on, she wouldn't be unwilling. However, her past experiences had made her very insecure.
Putting matters of the heart aside for now, Lin Yuesha was passing through Cangzhou and wouldn't be staying for more than a few days. Qin Nanyan wanted to show her some hospitality and take her sightseeing.
“Let’s go to the market together. I know a restaurant that makes roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). The owner is from Northwest China. You’ve been to Northwest China before, so maybe you’ll like the taste there.”
The meat in the sandwich is a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, soaked in broth. The broth seeps into the bread, and the braised pork melts in your mouth, making it incredibly flavorful.
After eating, Lin Yuesha nodded repeatedly. She had been away from the Northwest for many years. The soil and water here were different from those in the Northwest, and the sheep raised here did not taste as tender as the meat from the Northwest.
"Madam, you are truly an expert!"
Upon hearing this, the owner immediately came out from behind the counter, thinking he could create a truly authentic local specialty, but to his surprise, the people of Cangzhou didn't buy it.
“In Northwest China, there are no green peppers in roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). People eat it plain. When I opened a shop in Cangzhou, customers insisted that there were no vegetables and they weren’t used to the food.”
For a while, the owner insisted on making authentic roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), but business was dismal, and he eventually had to give in.
Unexpectedly, the improved version was quite delicious and sold very well.
"Therefore, it is difficult to find local specialties in Cangzhou, as the flavors are basically adjusted to some extent."
Lin Yuesha is going to travel to the south, and she is looking forward to it.
She hadn't yet appreciated the charming bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses in the south, nor had she tasted authentic Jiangnan cuisine.
"Mother, please teach us to read."
When Bao Bao and Bei Bei saw the recipe, they couldn't recognize a single character, which was quite a blow to the two brothers.
They went out to travel and enjoy the scenery, but their eldest brother stayed in the capital to study. When they returned to the capital with their parents, they had not made any progress and could not explain it to their elder brother.
"Fuya also wants to learn to read."
Xiao Fuya came over, and Lin Yuesha simply put down her chopsticks and dipped her hand in water to write on the table.
Back in her school days, she was forced by Granny Fang to practice calligraphy. Lin Yuesha practiced sporadically, and her handwriting was never very good. She would easily write slightly complicated characters in a disjointed way.
"Mother, you are not hardworking enough, and your handwriting is not as good as Father's."
Beibei showed no mercy to his mother, even though both his parents had taught him that one should be honest.
Lin Yuesha's face flushed. She wanted to scold the two boys, but they were telling the truth.
"Besides, Mother only tells a few stories, which I can memorize."
The triplets heard the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" at least twenty times.
"My mother can't tell a single story."
Seeing Lin Yuesha's embarrassment, Fu Ya comforted her thoughtfully. Now, it was Qin Nanyan who was embarrassed.
“In the Qin family, children are taught rules and etiquette from a young age, including female virtues and precepts, as well as the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I don’t want Fuya to be bound by these rules.”
Qin Nanyan blushed slightly as she explained that she couldn't casually talk about the other romance novels she had read.
Storybooks are harmful! Only taboo topics sell well in the market, such as lovers eloping and passionate lovemaking. Qin Nanyan has been deeply poisoned by reading too many of them.
"How about we go to the bookstore later?"
Xu Da owned a fairly large bookstore in Cangzhou.
Lin Yuesha suddenly realized that educating Xiaobaozi couldn't rely on just words; parents' words and actions were very important.
She couldn't be lazy any longer; she had to keep learning and become someone her sons admired, at least not much worse than Qi Heng.
After the meal, Yu Li took the three little buns to look at rabbits at the market, while Lin Yuesha put on her veil and went straight to Xu Da's bookstore with Qin Nanyan.
To avoid being recognized by the staff, Lin Yuesha concealed herself very well.
"Perhaps I should wear a veil too."
Qin Nanyan cooperated with Lin Yuesha. If someone recognized her, they might guess who was with her. It was better to avoid trouble.
When the two entered the bookstore, the clerk immediately recognized their attire and understood.
"I hope we won't be recognized."
Lin Yuesha had met the shop assistant before.
"I could walk right across from you and you wouldn't even recognize me."
Qin Nanyan hesitated, unless the shopkeeper had X-ray vision, but what was with that familiar expression on his face?
"Please come in, both of you."
The waiter mysteriously led Lin Yuesha and her companion into a private room, then served them tea and water, providing excellent service.
This series of actions is quite perplexing.
A moment later, the shop assistant brought over a cloth bag and said, "This is our bookstore's latest stock. You two can choose what you like, pay the bill, and leave through the back door. I guarantee you won't attract anyone's attention."
The young ladies of wealthy families love romance novels with a touch of eroticism, but they are reluctant to buy them for fear of being recognized and ruining their reputation. So they have to send their maids to secretly visit them.
