A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 256 Harmonious Married Life

"Indeed, you have to take care of so many households, and they are all troublesome. Besides mother, you are the mistress of the family. I will let you learn how to manage the family now, and I think I will let you take charge next year."

"So early?" She thought that she would not give up the power in her hands until her mother-in-law was unable to move.

Many people think that they have weight in the family only when they are in charge of household affairs. For example, her stepmother used to allocate everything in the family, and she had to pay for everything. She was also the one who shared the food every day.

"Mom and Dad, we will return to Beijing next year. By then, we will both take charge of the affairs of the family and Ningzhou."

"How long are you going?"

"If I pass the exam and go to the capital for the imperial examination next year, they may be back in about three months. If I fail, it will probably take more than half a year."

So, everything depends on Xiao Ran’s results!

"My Lord, if you are going to Beijing to take the imperial examination next year, will you take me with you?" She had never been to Beijing, and she wanted to see what the capital of this dynasty was like.

Xiao Ran saw his daughter-in-law's expectant eyes and looked away: "Maybe not. Maybe my parents won't be home when I leave. You have to look after the house."

Oh my God!

Lin Xiaomi was like being struck by lightning. Oh my god, so, you all went traveling, and she stayed at home to take care of the food and drinks for the whole family.

Is there still justice? Don't you have any conscience?

Seeing his wife's face fall, Xiao Ran felt helpless. The family couldn't be without a leader. "My parents will definitely try their best to come back. They will definitely be worried about you managing the mansion alone."

I'm afraid those people don't take their wives seriously.

Xiao Ran felt that his wife was so young, but she had such a hard life with him, and he would be unhappy too.

"If my parents come back on their own when I leave, I will take you to the capital."

"Really!" Lin Xiaomi looked at Xiao Ran in surprise.

"Well, as long as they come back, we will go together."

"It's so kind of you!"

She didn't mind him not having showered for days, and held his arm affectionately. The weather wasn't hot, and there wasn't any smell.

When he returned to the mansion, a group of people were already standing at the door to welcome him back. Seeing that he did not look listless, the old man and Xiao Zhen asked him to go back and rest.

They went straight to the courtyard. When the servants saw them, they immediately served hot meals and a large bowl of old hen soup.

"This soup has been skimmed of excess fat. It's too greasy. I'm afraid it might upset your stomach."

After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, my stomach felt warm.

"I think the food in there is not bad." Especially when he went to the toilet, he saw others eating crumbs and drinking cold water, and the quality of his food was immediately apparent in comparison.

"I didn't notice it just now. Is it true that someone came out of the examination room half dead?"

"Well, they don't exercise on weekdays, drink cold water, and can't stand the cold wind. The weather is good this year. If it rains, more people will fall ill." Thinking of those who were over 50 years old and were carried out, he couldn't help but sigh. How desperate they must be. Too many people have devoted their entire lives to fame.

Lin Xiaomi couldn't understand: "Can't you just boil some hot water?"

"There are a few educated people who understand this."

Yes, most of these scholars are so aloof and pedantic. If they were asked to wash their hands that hold pens and cook, they would probably rather starve to death.

Lighting the stove was even more impossible.

This is a good thing about Xiao Ran. He doesn't have the sourness of a scholar. He can enjoy happiness and endure hardships. He knows how to judge the situation and knows when to do what is best for himself.

After dinner, Xiao Ran took a comfortable hot bath and went to bed to rest.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. The first time they were apart after their marriage, they lay in bed, tender and affectionate. They were all young and energetic, so they played around a little too much. It was only when Lin Xiaomi saw that it was too late and didn't want to play around anymore that Xiao Ran stopped.

Lin Xiaomi, who was about to fall asleep, thought that it seemed that the exam did not really tire him out.

Xiao Zhen found that his wife was particularly obsessed with beauty today and sat by the mirror all night. When he came out of the shower, he found that Sun was still looking at herself in the mirror, "Why are you looking at the mirror all the time today? Is it new?"

"My Lord, have you noticed anything different about me today?" Sun looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to discover the difference in himself.

Xiao Zhen looked at her carefully. Her face was still the same, with wrinkles and spots clearly visible.

The figure is still slim.

"Is this dress newly made?"

Xiao Zhen really couldn't see what was special about it, as he seemed to have seen similar clothes before.

Sun:... "My Lord, didn't you notice that my skin is whiter today? The spots on my face are lighter, and the wrinkles are not as deep." She said with a resentful tone.

He really didn't notice.

"Isn't it the same as before? What's changed? Look carefully, are the spots lighter? Nothing. Have you been out? You were fooled by Yanzhilou again. How much money did you get cheated this time?"

There are many bottles and jars on Sun's desk. She buys whatever people say is good. Over the years, her skin has not improved, but the number of small jars on her desk has increased.

Sun:......

She didn't want to pay attention to him. This man was blind!

She was angry and gave Xiao Zhen a cold look.

Xiao Zhen touched his nose. Can't you tell the truth? He took Sun's hand and was about to coax her. After all, she aged so quickly because there were too many trivial matters at home and she was exhausted.

Before he could say anything to comfort her, the hand that was pulling her hand stopped.

He lowered his head. His hand was still the same hand. Nothing had changed. But it felt much smoother. Even smoother than the concubine far away in the capital.

“Your hand…”

"I am old and my hands are very rough." As she said this, she pulled her hand away from his palm.

Xiao Zhen: ...

"The things produced by Yanzhilou this time are of good quality."

"What Rouge House? It's Xiaomi. My daughter-in-law made it especially for me."

"Millet?"

"Yeah. She saw that my skin was a little dry and I looked a little haggard recently, so she did it herself in the courtyard."

Xiao Zhen looked at Sun's face carefully. Well, there was indeed no change, except that she looked more energetic than in the morning. Maybe she took a longer nap in the afternoon.

He raised his hand and touched Sun's face, which was even smoother than his own. How did my daughter-in-law do it? The effect was so good.

Sun was startled by his sudden action and her face blushed. "What are you doing?" She looked at her man coquettishly.

The tenderness of his palm and his wife's shyness made Xiao Zhen's heart flutter. His clothes slipped off and a faint fragrance floated in the air...

Early the next morning, Xiao Ran, neatly dressed, went to pay his respects to his grandfather and his parents.

"Xiaomi, did you make the medicine powder yesterday?" Xiao Zhen was in a good mood. Sun was also more beautiful than a flower, and looked very happy.

Is this a harmonious married life?
