When they returned to their room on the third day, Yu's mother was afraid that they would be looked down upon by her family, so she prepared many generous gifts for them.
To be honest, Meng Fuge really didn't want to take the things back. The Meng family was a selfish family and they were not worthy of him taking such generous gifts back.
"Husband, let's hide the food and bring it home when we get back later."
Yu Feimo looked at her in confusion.
"Aren't you taking this back to my father-in-law and his family?"
"Husband, you don't know, my grandparents, my uncle's family, and my parents are all very difficult to deal with. If we take so many things back, they will definitely think our family is rich, and who knows how they will come to bother us in the future."
Every family had a hard time these days, and the Yu family had no land, so they relied entirely on Yu's mother's good embroidery skills to support the family.
The couple hid the grain and pastries and only took half a bag of coarse grains back.
When Mrs. Meng saw that they didn't bring any generous gifts, she immediately put on a cold face and refused to pay any attention to them.
Father Meng Tieniu said a few words to them and then went out carrying his hoe.
All the men in the family had left, and Old Mrs. Meng had a sour face.
Meng Furong was cooking in the kitchen, but the couple did not stay for dinner. They sat for a while and then left.
"Third sister, please sit for a while, the meal will be ready soon."
"No, Second Sister, we have something else to do when we get back."
Old Mrs. Meng also pretended to comfort them for a few words. Sun walked them to the door and deliberately sent Yu Feimo away.
"Zhao Di's mother recently went to the town to see a doctor. The doctor said that she was in a very poor health and needed to take some medicine to recuperate. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again. But she doesn't have any money. What do you think..."
I knew that when she talked to me alone, it must be something bad.
"Mom, why are you telling me all this? Besides, wasn't my betrothal gift six taels? You spent it all so quickly!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you silly girl? How could that silver possibly reach my mother? Your grandmother kept it all, saying it was for Tianbao to go to school."
"Oh, that's right. After all, my eldest brother is the only male in this family, so it's only right to leave it to him. Mother, you should also work hard to give birth to a male child, otherwise what will you do when you get old? Okay, don't send me off, go back."
Sun went back to her room angrily. "You silly girl, I didn't know I was going to give birth to a boy. Do I need you to tell me that?"
If I hadn't worn out my body by giving birth to you three girls, I would have given birth to several precious sons long ago.
"Madam, do you have a bad relationship with your mother-in-law?"
Meng Fuge spoke the truth.
"It's not very good. Girls from poor families, no matter how good they are, can't compare to boys. After all, they are just going to be thrown away, unlike boys who will carry on the family line in the future."
Girls of this era, no matter how good your parents are to you, when you reach the age of marriage, the first thing your parents consider is how much betrothal gift the man’s family can give?
When a daughter gets married, parents who love her will tear up cloth to make her a new dress. If they don’t love her, they will just use a coarse linen dress full of patches as her wedding dress.
Yu Feimo certainly knew that girls from poor families had a hard life.
"Madam, don't worry. I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future."
"Really? My husband is not angry with me for treating you like that?"
Yu Feimo's face flushed red.
"Humph! Of course I'm angry, so I'm going to take revenge tonight. Are you ready to bear my wrath?"
The couple flirted all the way and soon returned home.
On the other hand, in Rongzhou Prefecture, Princess Zhaoping came here just like in her previous life.
"Third brother, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll go shopping by myself."
The Third Prince said in a doting tone:
"Okay, bring a few more people and be careful."
Princess Zhaoping brought four little maids with her.
"Oh! It's all my fault that Third Prince didn't allow me to bring A-Lin here, otherwise I would have someone to talk to and relieve my boredom."
The night is long, and I can still pamper him. I miss A Lin so much!
The maid immediately offered a good idea.
"If Princess is bored, just find another one. I heard that some of the candidates here are very handsome."
Princess Zhaoping felt extremely itchy after hearing this.
"Really? Let's go and take a look."
We soon arrived at the inn where the candidates were staying. Before we even went in, we saw a few very handsome scholars outside the inn.
Pointing at one of them.
"Go, invite him over to this princess."
Two maids who knew kung fu immediately brought the scholar to her.
Princess Zhaoping had no time to drink tea. She stood up, walked to the scholar and lifted his chin.
"What's your name?"
The scholar looked stubborn and refused to look at her.
When he came, he heard from the two maids that the girl in front of him with frivolous words and deeds was the most beloved daughter of the current emperor, Princess Zhaoping.
"Sir, why don't you dare look at me? I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me. It doesn't matter. I don't mind. I allow you to fall in love with me."
"I dare not insult the princess. If the princess is alright, I will return first."
He still has to go back to review his lessons as he will be taking the exam tomorrow. He hopes the princess will stop bothering him.
But when he met Princess Zhaoping, who liked to have male favorites, he would never be able to leave with dignity in his life.
"Shame on you! It's your blessing that this princess likes you, yet you still dare to give this princess a cold shoulder."
"Wash him clean with the spring rain and breeze, and send him to this princess's room."
"Yes, Princess."
The two maids were quick and decisive, and with great strength, they quickly dragged the man away.
The man's limbs were tied to the bed, and Princess Zhaoping touched him all over. The more he struggled and cursed, the more excited she became.
At the same time, Yu Feimo did not sleep well tonight, as the nightmares from his previous life kept haunting him.
