Chapter 356: You Can’t Have an Illegal Relationship Without a Matchmaker
Lu Bayue exclaimed, "A ghost marriage?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and shuddered at the same time.
Su Nuan looked at them with curiosity, as if she had guessed right.
Sure enough, the next moment Lu Bayue screamed, "Ah... I don't want it!"
Lu Bafang also said with a pale face: "I can't even afford to die."
Su Nuan rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Stay here, both of you will follow Li Fengxing, he will be your teacher."
Lu Bayue glanced sideways, "That won't work. If he becomes our teacher, we will be a generation inferior."
Su Nuan, “…”
Lu Bayue continued, "Then I can't call you sister anymore. I don't want that."
The corners of Su Nuan's mouth twitched. Is this girl's focus off?
She thought for a moment and said, "It's a matter of fact. I'm still your sister. If I really can't do it, I'll just take the blame and call him uncle!"
This time it was Li Fengxing's turn to be unhappy, "Have you asked for my opinion?"
Su Nuan and Lu Bayue turned to look at Li Fengxing and said in unison, "It's not important."
Li Fengxing drank three cups of tea in a hurry and then put the cups heavily on the table.
Lu Bafang sighed, "We still have to go back. If we can come back, we won't leave. If we can't come back..."
He paused and gave a wry smile, "If you can't come back, remember to burn paper for us."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, her face full of disgust. "If I ever find your grave, I definitely won't burn paper. I'll beat drums and gongs and sing opera."
Lu Bafang smiled slightly. Although Su Nuan's words were very impolite and even a bit humiliating, he felt warm in his heart when he heard them.
Su Nuan knew they would not stay, so she patted Lu Bayue's shoulder and said, "Sister, don't worry. At least I will make sure you return safely so you don't starve to death on the road."
Lu Bayue stuck out her tongue and said, "It doesn't need to be too much, half a month's rations will be enough."
Su Nuan nodded, "I understand."
Although I feel reluctant and a little sad for them, they have to walk their own path and others can't help them much.
Ling Yun was not interested in the affairs of the West Sea Kingdom and said impatiently, "Don't worry about them. What should we do in the North now?"
Ling Cang said, "You go behind the cliff and find a place suitable for building a city. I will lead people to quickly dig a tunnel in the cliff."
"Construction in the front city has been halted. The houses built so far are sufficient for living."
After a pause, he continued, "We've already discussed the currency issue at today's meeting. I plan to open a bank and a goods exchange shop in the cave below the cliff."
Su Nuan nodded, "I have no objection. After all, only when the currency is in circulation can they be motivated."
"Once they have their own property, it will deepen their sense of belonging, and only then can they be considered true residents of the city."
Ling Cang nodded, "That's right, it just requires some money from my family."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Those things are free anyway, you can use them as you see fit."
"As the city lord, you have to sacrifice some supplies. After all, no one who conquers the world will sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor."
Ling Cang smiled and nodded, "I know what to do."
Su Nuan was too lazy to care about so many things. What she wanted to do now was to improve people's livelihood. She really didn't want to experience the days of having no food to eat again.
She was not a heartless person in her previous life, she was just blinded by hatred. Looking back now, those people who starved to death were really pitiful.
Her eyes fell on Lei Wuya, "You look very free."
Lei Wuya was eating melon seeds and didn't expect to be called.
He asked blankly, "Is there anything you want me to do?"
Su Nuan finally shook her head and said, "I can't think of any good qualities in you."
Lei Wuya was looked down upon. His eyes widened, he threw down the melon seeds in his hand and said, "I am so good-looking, how could this not have advantages?"
Su Nuan looked him up and down, then shook her head, "No."
Lei Wuya was so angry at her that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't get angry.
He is a big devil and everyone is afraid of him, but he is nothing to Su Nuan.
Ling Cang coughed dryly, "There's nothing for him to do for now. Ye Suifeng can still tame beasts."
Speaking of Ye Suifeng, Su Nuan looked over and found that Ye Suifeng was daydreaming.
She walked over and patted Ye Suifeng on the shoulder, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Suifeng came back to his senses, "Why didn't the eggs I brought back hatch?"
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What kind of eggs did you bring back?"
Ye Suifeng scratched his head, "I don't know either. I picked up the eggs when I saw them. I want to fly too."
Su Nuan understood that he wanted to get a flying mount.
Xue said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "What did he get? Python eggs, which he let the hen hatch, and then the python ate the hen directly."
Su Nuan chuckled, patted Ye Suifeng on the head and said, "Don't think too much. Go find some wild boar cubs now, and then you can let the villagers raise them."
Ye Suifeng nodded, "Okay, but if I find bird eggs, you can help me hatch them."
Su Nuan's mouth twitched. "Do you think you're a hen, hatching eggs?"
But seeing Ye Suifeng's eager eyes, Su Nuan really couldn't refuse. "Okay, it'd be better if it's an egg from a falcon or something like that. Otherwise, it's too small to fly."
Ye Suifeng stood up happily, and the stool behind him was bounced far away.
"Okay, I'll go find it right away."
Su Nuan looked at his back and shook her head. This guy...just raise him like a child.
The old lady said, "Now there is another problem."
Su Nuan asked: "What's the problem?"
The old lady said, "There are so many people here. If someone is attracted to you, they can't just get married without a matchmaker, right?"
Su Nuan had never thought about this question. She looked at Xue and asked, "Mom, do you have any ideas?"
Xue smiled and said, "I want to open a matchmaking agency with your aunt to issue marriage certificates."
Su Nuan nodded, "Have you ever thought about women's rights?"
Xue asked blankly, "What are women's rights?"
Su Nuan had new knowledge in her mind. The current Three Obediences and Four Virtues were like garbage in her mind, and she was very disdainful of it.
She simply sat next to Xue and took out a pen and paper from her backpack.
"First, women are not men's private property after marriage. They are independent individuals and cannot be beaten or scolded without reason."
"The second rule is that a man who is thirty and childless may take a concubine, but he cannot take a concubine before thirty."
Although this one also goes against Su Nuan's heart, in this era, continuing the family line is more important than life, so there is nothing she can do about it.
"The third rule is that if there is no love between the two parties, they can divorce. The woman who divorces can remarry, and her parents cannot interfere."
"Number four... um... let me think about it."
Xue asked, "What about divorcing a wife? What if a wealthy man wants to take a concubine?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "How can there be such a thing as a concubine? Has the picture book led mother astray? There has never been such a thing as a concubine since ancient times."
The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, a man can only have one wife, and the rest are concubines. There is no such thing as a co-wife."
Xue's expression was a little strange, and Su Nuan asked tentatively: "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
