Chapter 771 Numb
Lin Yuesha remained silent for a while before saying, "Sister Baozhu, it's a blessing to have someone to rely on."
Looking back on her past life, she was destitute and alone, so she had to give up many things to build a career, at least to ensure she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing and could make a living from it.
Learning to cook may not be considered high-end, but it's the only profession that offers room and board while allowing you to learn real skills.
Having traveled through time, he finds his family as a safe haven. Whenever difficulties arise, especially in the most dangerous moments, the pockmarked man is sure to appear.
Lin Yuesha sighed, feeling that she had suddenly been blessed with good fortune, which made her very relaxed, and sometimes she even forgot her direction.
She had also been confused, wondering what she was doing after transmigrating to the Great Qi Dynasty. Was she destined to live a mediocre life, or would she use her culinary skills to do something for herself, her family, and even the people?
She couldn't promote more delicious food because she later started offering personalized services, which required exorbitant prices to make money.
Lin Yuesha thought she needed to earn lots of money to achieve financial freedom so she could do something without restraint. She wanted to help women in distress, but found her abilities were limited and she couldn't do it very well.
Having done just a little bit of everything, Lin Yuesha was pushed into an unfamiliar place again.
At first, she, like Jiang Baozhu, had a good impression of the pockmarked face, and even trusted and relied on him wholeheartedly.
"Then why did you change?"
Jiang Baozhu couldn't understand why the pockmarked man was so considerate to Lin Yuesha. Any woman would be devoted to a man like that if she had him by her side.
"That's because he said I look like his dead sister. To hell with him!"
Mentioning that dark history, Lin Yuesha couldn't bear it any longer. Yes, she was a petty and vengeful person. Although she never mentioned the unkind things that the pockmarked man did, she recorded them all in her little notebook.
Remembering Gu Yi's mission, Lin Yuesha began to give Jiang Baozhu a heads-up, "As women, we are ourselves first, and then other roles."
Perhaps in the future I will be a wife, a mother to my children, or perhaps another role, but no matter what, I should always be myself first and foremost.
"I feel that women should think more about themselves. This doesn't mean being selfish, but rather taking care of themselves first before they can take care of others."
Jiang Baozhu rested her chin on her hands, and Lin Yuesha, unable to contain her strong desire to perform, began to chatter incessantly.
"I don't understand, if all your loved ones are gone, is there any reason to live?"
Jiang Baozhu was once deeply troubled by this problem. She wanted to go with her mother many times, but Lin Yuesha sent her maid to accompany her, and she was unable to succeed.
Later, she gradually recovered, but for a long time she couldn't find her own happiness.
"Yes, I will take my family's share and live a better life."
Lin Yuesha clenched her fist and said firmly.
"Cough cough."
Xiao Qi coughed lightly twice at the door. If his younger sister continued talking, she would most likely send him away.
And he had to force himself to listen to her performance, telling her how strong he was, which he didn't want to do.
Lin Yuesha was startled. The pockmarked woman's bad habit of hiding behind others to eavesdrop hadn't changed even now. Without Qingxing and Qi'er warning her, she had gone too far again.
"Brother Qi, you're back so quickly!"
Lin Yuesha put down the pillow for Jiang Baozhu, and then went out the door.
"If I return in a bad mood, I will not hear your words."
Xiao Qi gave his little sister a thumbs up. His identity as her stepbrother hadn't been revealed recently, and he hadn't used many tricks, so his little sister's thoughts kept wavering and jumping around, getting out of his control.
The cunning Xiao Chengyu is right. It's better to solidify the relationship first, even if he has to kneel and beg for forgiveness every day, than to have his wife stolen away by someone else.
Xiao Qi pinched his cheek. He was thick-skinned and glib-tongued; both were indispensable.
"I was just saying."
Lin Yuesha glanced at the sky; it was a cold night and getting late, so the two of them decided to go to bed early.
"Want some roast chicken?"
In winter, roast chicken is hard to find in Qincheng. He had just gone out on errands and made a special trip into the mountains.
At this time of year, the pheasants are still quite plump and have an extremely delicious flavor.
"eat!"
Lin Yuesha's eyes sparkled, and she immediately nodded in response.
"Let's go then, I'll take you to get roast chicken."
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he went into the room to fetch a down jacket for Lin Yuesha, wrapped her up tightly from head to toe, and then carried her onto the horse.
Bai Cha stood in front of the horse, watching anxiously. She couldn't leave her young mistress and absolutely couldn't let her young mistress be alone with the pockmarked man!
Before she could protest, the horse turned around and disappeared from her sight in the blink of an eye.
Bai Cha sighed sadly. "Miss is good in every way, but she's easily bribed by that pockmarked roast chicken. This isn't the first time."
The horse galloped, stirring up gusts of cold wind, but Lin Yuesha, leaning against the pockmarked man, felt no cold at all.
Today in Mojia Village, the pockmarked man wearing a mask truly looked like a god descending from heaven. His silver armor was magnificent and heroic, like a tree of jade branches, making Lin Yuesha's eyes fill with pink stars.
"Why don't I see you being so infatuated on other days?"
Xiao Qi remembered that his younger sister liked rather flamboyant general's uniforms, and he had plenty of those.
"It's probably because your carved mask is covering your pockmarked face."
It's good that her face isn't visible; it adds a touch of mystery. Lin Yuesha inadvertently told the truth.
Xiao Qi: ...
"Let's talk about our marriage."
Xiao Qi felt a lump in his throat, unable to breathe properly. However, he had chosen the pockmarked mask himself, so he changed the subject and started talking about what he cared about most.
He has instructed the wedding shop, jewelry shop, and embroidery shop to bring the best fabrics and jewelry from their shops tomorrow for Lin Yuesha to choose from.
"However, the shops in Qincheng are no match for those in the capital, so I'll have to make do with this for now."
The best embroiderers were either in the Jinxiu Tower in the capital or in Jiangnan, all far from Qincheng, so the distant water could not quench the immediate thirst.
"Since it's just acting, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?"
Lin Yuesha didn't care much about her appearance. She only wore her wedding dress and jewelry for a short while, and it was only for Luo Wang to see. If Luo Wang closed his eyes or was not in his right mind, he might not like it at first glance.
Xiao Qi was speechless. He had once again been kicked into a ditch by his own lies, and his plan had backfired spectacularly.
"However, I did learn from Xiao Qiuyue for a few days, so let's go all out with this act."
Finally, Lin Yuesha steered the conversation back on track, saying that she would instruct the embroiderers to take measurements and choose the most suitable jewelry, keeping everything simple yet sophisticated.
"So, should we practice some of the terms of address beforehand?"
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he fell silent. To put it more bluntly, it seemed as if he had made a flirtatious remark about Lin Yuesha.
"What's your name, husband?"
Married women have different ways of addressing their husbands, but they generally call them "husband" or "master." Some women who are closer to their husbands call them by their nicknames or "father of the children." In short, there are all sorts of ways.
The light, airy words "husband" brushed against Xiao Qi like feathers, causing him to pause, a tingling, numb sensation spreading through his entire body.
