The two followed Lao Luo to his home, where Lao Luo arranged for them to stay in his daughter's room for the next few days. Since no outsiders had ever visited their village before, there were no spare rooms available.
"Honorable guests, we haven't had any outsiders visit us before, so we can only offer our daughter's room. Please see..."
Feng Qinghuang waved her hand: "It's alright, Uncle Luo. We're already married, so this room is fine. It's just a bit of a hassle for the three of you to squeeze together."
"Hehe, that's alright. I just didn't expect that the young lady and the young master, who seem so young, are already married?"
He had originally planned to let the little girl sleep in his daughter's room, while the young master could sleep in the carriage; that would be enough to share.
Feng Qinghuang glanced at Rong Qi shyly: "Yes, in the Tianwu Continent, people can discuss marriage after they turn sixteen. I'm almost seventeen now."
She originally wanted to say that they had only been married for a short time, but then she thought, "Why bother saying so much?"
Old Luo nodded: "Oh, people get married so early in the Tianwu Continent?"
Feng Qinghuang asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Uncle? Did you get married very late in the Tianling Continent before?"
Old Luo shook his head: "I'm not really sure either, but I've heard the clan leader talk about the rumors of the Heavenly Spirit Continent. It seems that people there can only get married after the age of eighteen, but because martial arts are revered there, many people don't get married until their twenties. Our Peach Blossom Village has been here for hundreds of years, and people still can only get married after the age of eighteen."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "I see, there really are some differences. Uncle, where are your aunt and your daughter?"
"Oh, they run a small business in town to support their family. As for me, I'm in charge of patrolling Taoyuan Village, which is why I saw you the first time. They should be back in a little while."
When talking about his wife and daughter, the happiness on Lao Luo's face was visibly radiant.
"Uncle Luo, isn't it wonderful to have a daughter?"
Luo scratched his head awkwardly: "Yes, my daughter is the most considerate. She even knows how to help us with chores. It's really a blessing to have a daughter."
Feng Qinghuang glanced at Rong Qi and secretly smiled.
Rong Qi sighed helplessly. This little girl, he wondered who she was targeting!
"Alright, distinguished guests, please rest first. I'll go see what food we have at home, and if we don't have enough, I'll go to the neighbor's to get some."
Although they had enough food, since the clan chief had said they were honored guests, they couldn't be negligent.
When Feng Qinghuang heard Lao Luo say that, she assumed that her family was not well-off and would need to borrow money, so she felt a little sorry for them.
"Don't trouble yourself, Uncle. Just make something simple. We're not picky. And Uncle, you can just call us Xiao Feng and A Rong. Don't call us 'honored guests,' it sounds awkward."
Hearing the girl's words, Lao Luo lowered his guard a little.
"It's alright, Miss Xiaofeng. You all rest first, I'll go cook."
"Okay, uncle."
After Lao Luo left, Feng Qinghuang looked around the house where Lao Luo and the others were staying. Although it wasn't very luxurious, it was clean and tidy, much like the house she had lived in on the mountain before.
"Aqi, can you tell what's different about this village and the people here?"
Rong Qi shook his head: "I can't tell, there's nothing different. It's just that the whole village is being relocated, which is a bit of a problem, but it doesn't really concern us. Anyway, we'll leave on the night of the full moon, and we won't have any contact with them after that, so whether it's strange or not, or whether it's the same as us or not, it doesn't matter. We shouldn't disturb their secluded life."
"Hmm, by the way, why wasn't Aqi saying anything just now?"
Rong Qi patted her little head: "I don't know who it was just now, chatting so enthusiastically with someone that they forgot all about their husbands."
Feng Qinghuang chuckled: "I was just trying to gather some information, wasn't I? I haven't forgotten Aqi!"
As the two were joking around, they heard voices coming from the courtyard, followed by the sound of skipping footsteps and the tinkling of bells, which grew louder as they approached. Just as they were about to go out to see what was happening, they saw a little girl, about six or seven years old, run in.
"Wow, what beautiful older brothers and sisters! Father was right, Mother, come and see!"
Then, a gentle voice reached Feng Qinghuang's ears.
"Yi'er, don't be silly. This is our honored guest. You can't be willful."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl's mother walked in. Feng Qinghuang was also taken aback when she saw her. The mother's appearance and temperament were no less than those of a young lady from a prominent family in the capital. It was hard to imagine that she would be in Peach Blossom Village. The little girl had also inherited her mother's looks, and at such a young age, she was incredibly beautiful.
When she first saw the little girl, she thought she didn't resemble Uncle Luo at all, but now it seems she inherited all of that from her mother.
