Since her rebirth, Su Wenyue has been staying in the Han family. Apart from her mother's home, she has never been anywhere else. When she heard that Han Yu was going to take her to the city, she was excited. Seeing that Han Yu was accompanying her, the Su family knew that their daughter's safety would not be a problem, so they just let them go.
In order not to waste time on the road, they used the Su Mansion's carriage to go to the county town. Han Yu didn't care about it. Since there was a carriage that could get them to the county town faster, he didn't insist on using his own ox cart. Since it was Yue family's, there was nothing wrong with using it for support. He didn't feel inferior, but looking at his wife's impatient look, Han Yu shook his head with amusement.
He grew up in the village, and farmers didn't have so many rules. It was easy for both unmarried girls and married women to go to the city, and there were no such restrictions as in wealthy families, where women couldn't show their faces in public. It was common to go to the market and go shopping in the city. Unless a daughter was newly engaged and was about to get married, she would be a little more careful and try to go out as little as possible.
However, his wife has been spoiled by Yue's family since she was a child. Although the Su family does not live in the city, they are not an ordinary wealthy family. They have connections with Chang'an City. There must be more rules at home. His wife is so beautiful and cute, even he is not at ease letting his wife go to the city alone. What's more, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and two uncles are also there. It is normal for them to want to go out and play after being confined at home all day.
"If you like, I'll take you to the city to play when I have time. Look how happy you are."
"I can go by myself without you taking me. I can take a bullock cart with the wives in the village. Xiaoxi has a horse carriage when she comes back from doing errands for me. It's convenient to go to the county town. My parents and brothers used to control me, forbidding this and that. But now that I'm married, I'm free, and they can't control me anymore."
Su Wenyue said with a smile that being married was not completely without benefits. Although some people in the Han family did not get along with her, no one would bother her when she went out or went to the city. She just had to say hello. During market hours, some wives in the village would often bring local specialties or shoes they made themselves to the market to sell. The sales could earn her money to supplement her family income. Su Wenyue found this very interesting.
Han Yu didn't object to what Su Wenyue said. Xinye County had always been peaceful, and few things happened. Other people's wives could go, so he had no reason to restrict his own wife. However, he was still a little worried, so he reminded her, "You can go to the county town to play, but you can't go alone. You have to bring Xiaoxi with you, or let me accompany you. If I find that you are disobedient, you are not allowed to go in the future."
"I understand. I will take Xiaoxi with me from now on. Xiaoxi also knows kung fu. It will be safe with her around." Su Wenyue agreed and said, fearing that Han Yu would stop her like her parents and brother did.
It was indeed lively when they arrived at the county town, especially today was the big market. The streets were bustling with people, and there were many people selling all kinds of groceries. Su Wenyue looked around and bought a lot of things. However, the Han family has not yet split up, and some things are hard to buy without spending money. Su Wenyue calculated carefully and after much thought, she still wanted to split up early so that her life would be better.
She didn't buy anything, but there were many snack stalls on the roadside, and the fragrance made her hungry. When her brother accompanied her here before, he always said that the food at the roadside stalls was not clean and didn't let her eat. But Han Yu didn't do that. Su Wenyue ate all the food and her stomach was a little full.
"Husband, I really can't eat anymore." Su Wenyue looked at the fried meatballs in her hand, touched her round belly, and looked at Han Yu for help.
Han Yu took the fried meatballs from Su Wenyue's hand without saying a word. He didn't mind that they were eaten by Su Wenyue before. He ate them all in a few bites. Su Wenyue watched with joy from the side.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Han? Why are you shopping with your wife?"
Han Yu and Su Wenyue turned their heads at the same time when they heard the voice. They saw a young man, about the same age as Han Yu, dressed like a scholar, with gentle manners, and looking at them with a smile.
Su Wenyue didn't say anything but looked at Han Yu. From what the man said, she knew Han Yu. Han Yu didn't like her in her previous life and didn't talk to her much after he came back. Naturally, he wouldn't tell her about things outside. Except for those who lived close to her in the village and whom she had contact with on a daily basis, Su Wenyue didn't know anything about Han Yu's friends outside.
"Brother Deng, long time no see, I hope you are well."
Han Yu then introduced the two people: "Yue Niang, this is my good friend Deng Tong, brother Deng, this is my wife Yue Niang."
Su Wenyue was stunned when she heard the word Deng Tong. She was a little unsure whether this Deng Tong was the famous general Deng Tong she knew! In her previous life, she had been in the inner house and could not go out since she entered the mansion. She had never seen Deng Tong in person. She only knew about this person and his deeds from the maids and old women. Although he was not as good as Han Yu, he was also a remarkable figure. However, she heard that the great general Deng Tong was also from Xinye, so it should be correct. But she didn't expect Han Yu to know Deng Tong at this time. Thinking of the relationship between Deng Tong and Emperor Wu, maybe Han Yu followed Emperor Wu through Deng Tong.
"Yue Niang greets Master Deng." Su Wenyue was raised by the An family since she was a child, and even hired a nanny to teach her for a period of time. When she was in the mansion, she followed the rules at every step and could not make any mistakes. Now in the Han family, even though the Han family is a small family and does not care about these things, and it is not obvious on weekdays, but when meeting people, she still has good etiquette, and she greeted Deng Yu in a very proper manner.
Deng Tong was also a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that Deng Yu, a farmer, could marry such a woman with both good character and appearance. Moreover, judging from her manner of conversation, dress and temperament, she must have a good family background. However, he was willing to get to know Han Yu because he saw Han Yu's extraordinary qualities. Others could see it as well, so it was not surprising to him.
"You are welcome, sister-in-law. Brother Han and I are good friends. Although we have not known each other for a long time, we have similar interests and appreciate each other. It is rare that we get along well. I may bother you in the future. I hope you will not mind. But Brother Han is so lucky to marry a woman like sister-in-law who is both virtuous and beautiful. Speaking of which, I haven't asked Brother Han for a glass of wedding wine yet."
Deng Tong seemed very friendly to Han Yu in his words and deeds. Han Yu also had some thoughts on making friends with Deng Tong, so he was naturally happy about it: "Brother Deng, you are too polite. Since we have met, it is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Why don't we go to the restaurant for a drink."
