Chapter 28 Shopping
Wang Qingqing looked up after hearing this, and was fascinated at the first sight. The young man was truly a god from heaven, sitting under the willow tree in a moon-white gown, which was indescribably moving.
Mrs. Wang saw the graceful Chu Sishui pushing the immortal young man into the courtyard and nudged Wang Qingqing with her elbow, "Don't think about it, he already has a wife. Besides, you were betrothed to Wang Jian years ago. Don't let people gossip about you now."
Wang Qingqing's expression darkened as she thought of Wang Jian at the end of the street. He had failed in the imperial examination again this year. She wondered if her father would give him a hard time. She should have gotten married last year, but her father had required her to pass the exam before they could get married.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. She didn't want to watch the excitement anymore and returned to her home across the street.
The remaining group of people were still counting how much luggage the new family had. Wang Mazi, who was at the front of the line, saw box after box of things being carried into the yard, his envious eyes growing brighter and brighter.
Just when he was about to lend a hand to help, he was met with Fei Jian's frightening gaze, and he withdrew his hand timidly.
The things had been almost packed up, and seeing that no one in the family was talking and everyone had a serious look on their faces, the people from Wangjia Village didn't dare to ask any questions and so they all dispersed.
Chu Sishui waited for them to pack up, then pushed Rong Zhuo to admire the yard.
Eunuch Wu and Fei Jian were indeed thoughtful. Now the entire courtyard's road was paved with wooden boards, so Rong Zhuo could get out by himself even without them pushing.
The sycamore trees in the courtyard are exceptionally tall, forming a natural summer resort.
The flowers along the fence of the courtyard are growing beautifully. Although it is a large courtyard with a high gate, the walls are not very high. Looking up, the natural beauty of the countryside is refreshing.
If Chu Sishui had to say what she liked most, it would be the weeping willows by the pond on the west side of the courtyard. They were particularly refreshing against the green grass.
"Does my husband like it here?"
Rong Zhuo felt better than ever along the way, so he nodded.
"Then I will take you out for a walk tomorrow. Countryside families always have some unusual fun. I'm afraid you have never experienced it after living in the imperial city for so long."
Rong Zhuo was a little reluctant on the way, but now that he entered the village and didn't see any inquiring looks, his worries were much less, "Okay."
Everyone was busy for another half an hour, and when everything was ready, Jin Pei came over and called them to eat.
Chu Sishui found that the farmyard was unusually spacious, so she asked Feijian to move the table to the yard. "Feijian, go to the shop tomorrow to make a big umbrella that can cover the table. When the weather is good in the future, we can eat outside."
Rong Zhuo also thought this was a good idea, "Remember to add a few lounge chairs and make a few more large umbrellas."
Chu Sishui thought this was a bit like modern camping, "Then add some more tables and put them in a row. Put some fruits on them."
Feijian, "Yes."
After dinner, Eunuch Wu came over and asked Rong Zhuo to do a massage, and Chu Sishui went to take a bath first.
The hot springs in the mountains are particularly relaxing. When buying this courtyard, Eunuch Wu said that the hot springs in the courtyard would help Rong Zhuo recover. He should be taking a bath now.
While there was no one around, Chu Sishui opened the space and took out the medicine and spiritual spring water.
By the time he finishes taking the sixth pill next month, the necrotic nerves in his injured leg should be half repaired.
Although the two have been husband and wife for several months, Chu Sishui has never asked Rong Zhuo how he felt after taking the medicine.
Apart from the intimacy at night, Rong Zhuo would never let her interfere with washing and bathing during the day. He must still be very cautious.
During this trip to the countryside, she was bound to dispel some of his thoughts.
————
People in the countryside all get up early. Chu Sishui was tossed around in the carriage by him yesterday, so she was still sleepy at this moment. However, she could not hear the murmurs of voices coming from outside the yard, so she got up after lying down for a while.
Rong Zhuo got up earlier than her. The layout of this courtyard was almost a one-to-one restoration of the royal palace. She trained for half an hour in the morning. After washing up, she sat in the courtyard and listened to the birds singing in the trees.
Turning back, he saw Chu Sishui pushing open the window with sleepy eyes. The window of Xiyuan faced the courtyard. Rong Zhuo saw that she still couldn't open her eyes, "You can sleep a little longer. There's nothing to do in the countryside."
Chu Sishui asked, "Who was talking just now?"
"Wang Gui's family was arguing because their cow got lost this morning."
Chu Sishui was surprised, "My husband found out my name as soon as he arrived. It seems that he is very interested in the countryside. If I had known, I would have come earlier."
After saying that, he got up and seeing that there was no one around, he went straight to the yard and listened to the sounds outside the door.
Wang Gui, "If this cow eats Uncle Wang's food, he will start cursing again."
Wang Nan said, "Just ask Vice President Wang to apologize. They just fall for this kind of talk from scholars."
Wang Gui, "Okay, I'll go to the market and find a job. You go look for one more."
When Chu Sishui heard the name, she remembered the family she met at the inn. It turned out that they were neighbors.
Rong Zhuo saw that she was only wearing a single piece of clothing and looked a little disheveled. "Go back and put on your clothes first. Fei Jian and the others are men after all."
Chu Sishui had just heard Wang Gui mention the market, so she became interested and nodded, "Let's go to the market later. There are many rare items in the market in the countryside."
After saying this, she hurriedly called Luhe, put on a cloth dress, wore only a lotus hairpin, and went to the front hall to eat.
Rong Zhuo saw that she was as pure and natural as a summer lotus today, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Before Chu Sishui set out, she had asked them to bring simple and low-key clothes. Rong Zhuo was also wearing cloth clothes today, but there were some bamboo leaves embroidered on the cuffs. The green cloth made him look like an elegant and upright scholar.
"My husband's outfit today is very eye-catching."
Rong Zhuo had now gotten used to her flattery. He stopped drinking porridge for a moment, then picked up a bun and put it into her bowl.
Chu Sishui was thinking about the market, so he ate much faster than usual today.
Rong Zhuo saw that she was choking, "The market is not only today, there is no need to rush."
"I just wanted to go today. I just wanted to go for a stroll in the village."
Seeing that she finished the bun in a few bites, Rong Zhuo also quickened the pace of drinking the porridge.
Chu Sishui leaned against him and smiled with curved eyebrows.
After dinner, Chu Sishui carried her homemade small bag, took out the copper coins and silver changes, and pushed Rong Zhuo out.
Fei Jian and Yin Ren frowned in worry.
Silver Blade, "Let me go with your master."
Chu Sishui shook her head. "Look at this street. Who goes out with so many people? It's just the two of us today. You can find something to do."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Jin Pei could only shrug helplessly and go over to open the door.
Mrs. Wang, who was across the courtyard, had been watching them since early morning. When she saw Chu Sishui pushing the god-like person out, she said, "Hey, madam, are you going out to the street?"
Mrs. Wang came over naturally. Chu Sishui saw that she was old and probably just wanted to chat with someone, so she walked with her, "Yes, I haven't seen a market in the countryside yet, I want to join in the fun."
Mrs. Wang, "You all look like you come from a wealthy family. Where are you from?"
Chu Sishui, "We came from Jinxiao City. Our family business failed, so we came here to relax."
