Actually, the Wei family's house is not too small. It is much bigger than the rural home where Liu Tangxi lived as a child in his previous life.
The Wei family's house was a bit like a courtyard house, with rooms on the east, west, south and north sides. However, the courtyard was larger and not connected on all four sides.
There are about nine rooms in the entire Wei family's house.
There is one main room, and the two sides of the room are symmetrical.
On the left side connected to the main hall are the rooms of Wei Lao San and Li, and further inside is a small storage room where the entire family assets of the Wei family are stored. On the right side connected to the main hall are the rooms of Wei Daniu and Zhang, and further inside are the rooms of Wei Daniu's six-year-old son Wei Bosheng and three-year-old daughter Wei Shulan.
There are also two rooms that are not connected to the main room, one on the west and one on the east.
On the west side are the rooms of Wei Erhu, Zhou and their five-year-old daughter Wei Fuyao, and on the east side are the rooms of Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi.
On the west side are the pigsty and chicken pen. There are two pigs in the pigsty and seven or eight chickens in the chicken pen.
The kitchen is on the north side. Next to the kitchen is the front door, which means the pigsty is right after the front door.
There is also a room on the east side opposite the pigpen and chicken pen, but this room is not in line with the style of the entire yard.
This was originally a place for storing miscellaneous items, but after Wei Hanzhou started studying, the miscellaneous items were moved to the north and west, and a new room was built in the empty space as Wei Hanzhou's study.
This room has excellent lighting, faces south, and is kept very clean inside.
On weekdays, no one except Wei Hanzhou is allowed to approach this house.
After all, it is not easy for a village to produce a scholar, let alone a scholar like this who won the first place, is still young and has a bright future.
The whole family attaches great importance to Wei Hanzhou.
Although Liu Tangxi walked at snail-like pace, she was still getting closer and closer to the study.
The door was not closed, and Liu Tangxi could clearly see Wei Hanzhou with his back straight and his head down flipping through the book in his hand. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, from the side, he looked very focused.
Suddenly, the wind blew in gently, blowing Wei Hanzhou's long hair slightly, and his thin clothes became wrinkled and stuck to his body.
I have to say that Wei Hanzhou's appearance and figure are quite outstanding. At this moment, when he is reading a book seriously, he doesn't look like a villain with bad intentions at all, but rather like a handsome young man.
Liu Tangxi was just thinking about it when Wei Hanzhou suddenly turned around and looked at him.
How to describe these eyes? One word: cold. Two words: very cold. Three words: extremely cold.
Liu Tangxi didn't seem embarrassed at all about being caught, and her expression was very natural, as if the person who was caught peeking was not her.
Thinking of what Wei Hanzhou had said to her with a cold face the day she woke up, Liu Tangxi curled her lips and said indifferently, "It's time to eat."
Come to think of it, this was the first sentence Liu Tangxi had spoken to Wei Hanzhou in three days.
When Liu Tangxi first woke up, she was still not fully conscious. At this time, Wei Hanzhou said to her with a cold face: "Since you begged my mother to take you in, don't think about running away after getting rid of the human traffickers. My mother helped you, and she must abide by the agreement. You can leave, but you have to wait until my father's illness gets better. Before that, if you dare to run away, I will report it to the government. If the government doesn't care, I will find you no matter what."
Hearing these words, thinking that the estranged Wei Hanzhou would indeed keep his word and carry out crazy revenge on Liu Tangxi in the near future, Liu Tangxi was so scared that he dared not say anything.
During these three days, Liu Tangxi had been staying obediently in the Wei family, or to be more exact, in his own little house, and did not dare to step out of the house.
According to the description in the book, Liu Tangxi ran away on the day of the wedding. When Wei Lao San found out, he was so angry that he vomited blood. After all, the twenty taels were all his family's savings. Now that his son didn't get married and had no money for the exam, he felt very guilty.
Then, Wei Lao San's condition worsened.
Within three days, Wei Lao San died.
Wei Hanzhou hated Liu Tangxi so much because of this.
He originally wanted to bring Liu Tangxi back, but he was busy with his father's funeral at the time and had no time to look for her.
After Wei Hanzhou finished his work, he went to inquire about Liu Tangxi's whereabouts. He learned that she had returned to the capital to be a concubine in the Third Prince's Mansion. Wei Hanzhou's face was gloomy, but he did nothing at the moment. He just went home quietly to study.
Three years later, Wei Hanzhou passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. Not long after he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he won the favor of the old emperor because of his good handwriting and ability to flatter.
From then on, he began to deal with the Huai'en Marquisate and the Third Prince.
Thinking of the treacherous struggles in the book and Wei Hanzhou's vicious and cruel character, Liu Tangxi has been staying well at home these days, fearing that she would accidentally anger Wei Lao San again, and even more afraid that Wei Hanzhou would blame everything on her.
Now three days have passed, and not only is Wei Lao San alive, but his condition has also improved. Upon hearing this news, Liu Tangxi was surprised and felt a little relieved.
It seems that with her involvement, the plot of the book has changed unknowingly.
Liu Tangxi felt that as long as she didn't run away, Wei Lao San wouldn't be mad to death. As long as she didn't mad Wei Lao San to death, Wei Hanzhou wouldn't regard her as the enemy who killed his father as in the book.
When she waits until Wei Hanzhou passes the imperial examination and enters the capital, she can naturally follow Wei Hanzhou back to the Marquis' Mansion in the capital.
However, she really couldn't say which was better, being with a treacherous minister or being with the heroine who would execute her prematurely in the future.
But no matter what, the most important thing now is to save your life.
Moreover, thinking about the polite attitude of the Wei family towards her in the past few days, she would feel guilty if the third brother Wei died because of her leaving like in the book.
After hearing what Liu Tangxi said, Wei Hanzhou had a cold face and stared at her straightly. The emotions in his eyes were hard to read.
The fact that Wei Lao San was not dead reduced Liu Tangxi's fear of Wei Hanzhou a lot. Seeing Wei Hanzhou staring at her with such cold eyes, Liu Tangxi wanted to leave immediately.
However, before she turned around, she saw Wei Hanzhou walking towards her.
Liu Tangxi mustered up his courage and stood still.
He kept comforting himself in his heart that she had done nothing wrong and he was not afraid of her! She was his legal wife, not the enemy who killed his father.
Wei Hanzhou walked closer and closer, and when he reached Liu Tangxi, he glanced at Liu Tangxi's face, then lowered his eyes and looked down.
Realizing that Wei Hanzhou was looking at her breasts, Liu Tangxi's face flushed slightly. She put her hands around her chest and looked at Wei Hanzhou with a hint of vigilance and anger in her eyes.
Seeing Liu Tangxi like this, Wei Hanzhou remained calm and walked out calmly from Liu Tangxi's side.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou's calmness, Liu Tangxi became even angrier, and punched Wei Hanzhou's back with his fist. However, he discovered something as soon as he raised his arm.
It turned out that when she was lighting the fire, she had somehow gotten a 20-centimeter-long willow branch stuck to the overlapping part of her collar. Half of the branch was inside her clothes, pressing against her chest, and the other half was outside, and the white lining could be vaguely seen from the lifted part.
Because the willow branch was so small, she didn't feel it at all.
Thinking of Wei Hanzhou's look just now, Liu Tangxi's face suddenly turned red and he quickly pulled out the willow branch.
Afterwards, he looked around and saw that there was no one else in the yard besides Wei Hanzhou, so Liu Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing sideways at Wei Hanzhou who was going to the well to fetch water to wash his hands, Liu Tangxi took the willow branch and went to the stove.
The food in the pot was already cooked, and Zhang had just served it out.
Just as Liu Tangxi was about to take it away, Zhang refused.
Zhang glanced at Liu Tangxi's delicate hands and said, "Third sister-in-law, please take the steamed buns and chopsticks to the main room first. The dishes are a little hot when they are just served, and you can't carry them."
Liu Tangxi didn't bother to do anything and went to get the chopsticks and steamed buns without hesitation.
Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that she felt sorry for Liu Tangxi. Even though she was sensible, Liu Tangxi had only been here for a few days, so it was hard to say that they had a deep affection for each other.
In fact, Liu Tangxi had not done any work in the past three days, and rarely even left the house, looking like a lady from a wealthy family. Moreover, she had just seen that Liu Tangxi's fingers were very delicate.
She put a lot of oil in this bowl of dish, which was very expensive. She was afraid that Liu Tangxi would not be able to hold the bowl steadily and drop it.
At this time, Wei Hanzhou came over after washing his hands, picked up the bowls from the kitchen, turned and walked towards the main room.
Because of what happened just now, Liu Tangxi felt a little embarrassed. But fortunately, Wei Hanzhou didn't even glance at her, which made her feel a little relieved.
After taking the chopsticks and steamed buns, Liu Tangxi followed Wei Hanzhou to the main room.
At this time, Wei Hanzhou went to the west room.
Liu Tangxi knew that he was going to help Wei Lao San from the room to come out for dinner.
After putting these things in the main room, Liu Tangxi went to serve the porridge.
Maybe it was because her old man's illness really improved after Liu Tangxi came, or maybe it was because Liu Tangxi was too lazy in the previous three days, so when she saw Liu Tangxi working today, Li was very satisfied and had a smile on her face the whole time.
Seeing the way Li was looking at Liu Tangxi, Zhou felt very frustrated and couldn't help but said, "I'll go get some soup too."
Mrs. Li took a look at her second daughter-in-law's belly and said with a smile, "Don't go. You've been busy all morning. Take a good rest. Let your eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife do it."
Zhou Cuiliu rolled her eyes and said, "How can it be so expensive? My sister-in-law was still working in the fields when she was eight months pregnant. I'm only seven months pregnant and I'm not from the city. We country people are not that particular."
Liu Tangxi happened to hear these words when she came over. She knew that Zhou Cuiliu was looking at her when she said this, but she said nothing. Instead, she smiled at Zhou Cuiliu, turned around and went back to the kitchen.
On the contrary, Mrs. Li was even more satisfied with Liu Tangxi's performance. She felt that she had made a good choice in marrying this daughter-in-law. Not only was she blessed, she was also beautiful and generous, and a perfect match for her son.
Zhou was upset for a while, but because Liu Tangxi had not refuted her just now, she felt a little wronged and did not say anything else.
The food was served quickly. Country people were not so particular. Men and women, adults and children all ate at the same table.
On the left of Liutang Creek is Wei Hanzhou, and on the right is Li.
The Wei family did not have a rule of not talking while eating. At the dinner table, the third son of the Wei family asked his two sons about the situation in the fields, and then expressed his feelings. Looking at their eyes, if their bodies did not allow them to do so, they would have rushed to the fields immediately.
"Dad, just take good care of yourself. My second brother and I will take care of the farm work. It won't be too late for you to go back to the fields after you recover," said Wei Daniu.
Wei Lao San sighed heavily, then looked at his youngest son and asked him about his studies.
Wei Hanzhou answered Wei Laosan's question very respectfully: "My mind has been clearer these past two days, and I have read a few more pages of books than usual."
This answer is really good, simple, clear and reassuring. Even people who don't understand the imperial examinations can understand what he means.
Liu Tangxi couldn't help but glance at Wei Hanzhou.
Wei Hanzhou's appearance was very different from the description in the book. This steady, polite and considerate person was really not like the fawning and flattering villain described in the book.
"Well, Han Zhou, now that you have married, you are an adult. You should study hard and bring honor to our Wei family."
Noticing that Wei Lao San was glancing at her, Liu Tangxi quickly looked away and lowered her head to eat her meal.
"Yes, son will follow your father's teachings." Wei Hanzhou replied respectfully.
From beginning to end, Wei Hanzhou didn't even look at Liu Tangxi.
When Liu Tangxi heard Wei Lao San calling Wei Hanzhou's name, his thoughts suddenly drifted far away.
Daniu, Erhu, Hanzhou... Why is Wei Hanzhou's name so different from the other brothers? Could it be that Hanzhou was a name he changed later? Then, what was his name before?
Three dogs?
Three sheep?
When he thought of this, Liu Tangxi almost laughed out loud, but after he couldn't help coughing slightly, he tried to restrain himself.
Liu Tangxi thought she had hidden it well, but the man sitting next to her noticed something from her slight shaking. Not knowing why she was like that, Wei Hanzhou only glanced at her lightly and then looked away.
