Chapter 11: This is not quite right

March 30, 2023Ai Hrist

The marriage reception went smoothly and unexpectedly no one in the Shi Family cause trouble.

Patriarch Xiao's Son and others even felt that the Shi family was relieved.

But everyone in the Shi Family has a bad face.

The scumbag members of the Shi Family moved all the boxes and books that the owner of the body brought back from the Taoist Temple to the ox cart.

Under the threat of Shi Qingluo's eyes, they threw five bags of grain onto the ox cart with a gloomy faces.

Shi Laosan looked at Shi Qingluo with a cold face and said, "This is your choice, so don't come back crying in the future."

They didn't even get a few taels of silver as a bride price, this girl was raised for nothing.

The point was that they have never suffered such a big loss and suffered such a big grievance. All these happened because of this daughter.

Shi Qingluo showed her a big smile, "Don't worry, I won't come back here again."

"I'm afraid that you will come to my door crying and begging me in the future." She said again.

Shi Laosan snorted coldly, "You are dreaming."

Shi Qinglou curled her lips, she felt that there would be such a day. For the Shi family, in the face of great interests, the face was nothing.

She said what was in her heart, "But even if you come to me crying, I won't help you."

She has a lot of ways to deal with these superb products.

Shi Laosan and the others looked very ugly: "We'll just wait and see how you make us cry, and how long you can be so arrogant."

Shi Laosi even said: "You will pay the price for what you have done recently."

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: "You mean the Wu Family wants to take revenge on me?"

Shi Laosi: "… …"

When did this niece become so smart?

Or did she just pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger on purpose when she just came back?

"Looks like you know something."

When Shi Qingluo saw the look on her Fourth Uncle's face, she knew that this scum was still in touch with the Wu Family.

She remembered that the firewood shed where she lived was turned over when she came back from going out these two days.

She asked playfully: "Is the Wu Family eyeing the little black ball my master gave me?"

At that moment, Shi Laosi's face slightly changed, but quickly returned to normal, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Shi Qinglou pursed her lips: "Sure enough, but I'm afraid they will miss it forever."

If the Wu Family can become a rich businessmen in the county, the head of the family will not be a fool. Especially if he has a connection with the magistrate.

She used soil bombs to threaten the Shi Family, the old mama of the Wu family, and others.

The head of the Wu Family would naturally think that this thing can also be used in other ways, such as war.

If this thing can be presented to the Emperor, the Wu Family will have made great contributions.

Of course, the soiled bomb was only seen by the old mama and a few others in the Wu family. The head of the Wu Family was still not sure, so he asked Shi Laosi to steal it.

However, she had been prepared for a long time and put them all in the space. So the Wu Family won't be able to take action.

She waved to the scumbag and the others, "Okay, then we will meet later!"

People from the Shi family: "… …"

Who wants to meet you later?

They don't want to see this dead girl again.

At that time, Old Man Shi waved his hands with a look of embarrassment, "Alright, you can go."

Shi Qingluo carried a small burden, turned around, and left the Shi Family's house without any hesitation.

When the old man and others saw this, they unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The evil star finally left.

At the same time, Old Lady Shi and Mrs. Niu didn't even cry or come out to see her off.

Showing how much they dislike Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo didn't care about these at all but thought it would be better if these scumbags didn't come out to be an eyesore.

After she walked out the gate, she greeted Patriarch Xiao's son and others with a smile.

Xiao Hanyi had a smile all over his face, "Sister-in-law, I am here to pick you up on behalf of my brother!"

Shi Qingluo smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Then let's go!"

The patriarch's son and others saw that no one from the Shi family came out to see her off, their expressions were a little strange.

When Shi Qingluo saw this, she smiled and said, "They were reluctant to part with me, they are afraid that they will cry when they send me off, so I told them not to come out."

The Shi Family members who were still standing in the yard: "… …"

Who will cry when you leave? Shameless.

The patriarch's son guessed that the Shi family probably didn't want her to get married, but they couldn't go against Shi Qingluo's request.

No wonder when they saw them just now, each of them looked like someone died before getting married.

He smiled embarrassingly: "Get in the bullock cart."

This was their family's ox cart, and his father asked him to drive it to pick up people.

At first, he thought it would be difficult to pick up people, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Shi Qingluo was not hypocritical, and took the initiative to get on the bullock cart and sit down: "I'm sorry to trouble you!"

So a group of people walked towards Xiaxi Village.

When someone gets married in the village, if the economic conditions were not good, many of them will wear ordinary clothes and walk directly to their husband's house.

Only powerful and rich families can marry their daughters wearing a red hijab and sitting in a sedan chair when entering the door.

Shi Qingluo sat on the bullock cart and watched the scenery along the way.

She sighed inside her heart, she didn't expect that in modern times, she was a rich lady who didn't get married, but in ancient times she became a small village girl and married herself out.

After arriving at Xiao Family's courtyard, Shi Qing jumped off the bullock cart neatly.

Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili were already standing at the gate waiting.

Seeing someone coming, Mrs. Kong took the initiative to shake Shi Qingluo's hand.

"Qinglou, Zheng'er hasn't woken up yet."

"After a while, you will worship, Hanyi will take Zheng'er's clothes and worship with you."

"After Zheng'er wakes up, you will worship again."

"I have wronged you!"

Shi Qingluo smiled, "It's okay."

It was good to worship with clothes alone. If Xiao Hanzheng can't get along with her when he wakes up, it will be easy to get divorced in the future. Anyway, the two of them have never even formally worshiped together.

Mrs. Kong has a good relationship with others. After the separation from the main house, she invited people who helped her.

Including the patriarch and elders, there were three tables of people in total.

Shi Qingluo was led into the main room by Mrs. Kong, and under the observation of these people, she and Xiao Hanzheng's clothes were worshiped.

Then she was sent to Xiao Hanzheng's room.

After entering the room, Shi Qingluo put down her small bundle, walked to the bedside, and looked at her husband who was still unconscious.

She stretched out her hand to touch him. Xiao Hanzheng's forehead was no longer hot.

After withdrawing her hand, she frowned slightly: "The fever has subsided, why haven't you woken up yet?"

This was not quite right.

Then she lifted the quilt and rolled up his trouser legs.

There were a few scars that were not too deep on the calf and thigh, and they have scabbed over. The wounds were treated well, and there was no inflammation, redness, or swelling.

She reached out and touched his leg: "The bones are not broken."

So she wanted to see if there were any other hidden injuries on Xiao Hanzheng's body. After touching his legs, she untied his clothes to see if there were any injuries on his upper body.

She lowered her head to examine carefully, but she didn't notice the person who was asleep, his fingers moved slightly, and his body even became stiff.

He struggled, even more, to wake up, but he just couldn't open his eyes.

For Shi Qingluo, she has no other distracting thoughts in her mind, but for someone, it was different… …

Chapter 12: Hello, my husband!

March 31, 2023Ai Hrist

Shi Qingluo checked and found that there was no wound on Xiao Hanzheng's body.

She placed her hands on Xiao Hanzheng's chest as she fell into deep thought.

It was reasonable to say that the fever-reducing medicine was taken yesterday, and the fever subsided. Anti-inflammatory medicine was also taken.

There were no other wounds on the body, so why he hasn't waked up yet?

Thinking about something, she tapped her fingers unconsciously and didn't notice that this was not a table, but someone's naked chest.

"Is it nice to touch?"

Suddenly, a hoarse and weak voice sounded, bringing Shi Qingluo back to her senses in an instant.

Shi Qingluo replied instinctively: "It feels okay, but it's a little too thin."

After speaking, she touched it again.

The skin was quite smooth, but it was a pity that he lost a little weight. It would be nice if he had some abdominal muscles.

After finally breaking free from the nightmarish shackles, Xiao Hanzheng struggled to open his eyes: "… …"

Shi Qinglou lowered her head, just in time to meet his hostile eyes, as if they were about to destroy the world.

But the other party restrained quickly, and disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold and calm expression.

If Shi Qingluo didn't feel it for sure, she might think she was dazzled.

Why did this person wake up so angry?

"You're awake!" Shi Qingluo smiled at Xiao Hanzheng.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at the strange young woman and frowned.

When he felt that the other party's hand was still on his chest, and he was touched again, his body froze: "Can you take your hand off?"

Shi Qingluo realized that her hand was still touching his chest.

Oops, it was kind of embarrassing!

"I'll take it off!" She blinked and quickly took her hand away from his chest.

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

Where did this bold and shameless woman come from?

He looked sideways, and his eyes shrank involuntarily.

This place was too familiar. It was the place where he lived when he was young, and the place he wants to think of.

He calmed himself down very quickly, then looked at the girl who touched him: "Who are you?"

The previously drowsy consciousness also gradually returned, just now he did feel that someone kept touching him.

From his legs to his body, so he struggled desperately to wake up.

Shi Qingluo smiled and raised her hand generously to greet him: "I am your newlywed wife, Shi Qingluo. Hello, my husband!"

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

When did he have an extra wife? Why doesn't he know?

Was he still dreaming?

He closed his eyes for a moment, then open them again, the little girl was still looking at him with a smile.

Then there was pain from being pinched in his arm, he looked at Shi Qingluo and asked: "What are you doing?"

Shi Qinglou said confidently: "I look at you, it seems that you suspect that you are dreaming, so I pinch you to help you distinguish that this is reality."

The man looked in a trance just now, as if he was dreaming.

"You're welcome!" She added.

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

I thank you for helping my already weak body to make things worse.

However, the feeling of pain made him feel a lot more real. This was not a dream.

Shi Qingluo thought for a while and said: "Wait a minute, I'll go and call your mother."

If Mrs. Kong and the others knew that Xiao Hanzheng had woken up, they would felt relieved.

Xiao Hanzheng narrowed his eyes slightly again: "Are you going to call my mother?"

Shi Qinglou nodded: "Yes, your mother and your younger siblings."

"At this moment, the patriarch of your Xiao family and others should still be having a banquet outside. I can inform them together that you are awake."

Xiao Hanzheng raised his hand with difficulty. Looking at the smooth, white, and young hand, he probably guessed that he knew what was going on with him.

"Then please call someone in." He wanted to meet the real person, so he could make sure.

Shi Qingluo stood up, "Okay, just wait."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly remembered his situation.

He couldn't help taking a deep breath, with a slight taste of gnashing his teeth: "Can you put my pants and clothes on first?"

It was the first time he was so molested and touched by a woman, and this woman was not conscious at all, it was really hard to describe.

It took almost all his strength to raise his hand, he really couldn't wear clothes by himself.

It would be too embarrassing if his mother, the patriarch, and others came in after a while and saw his disheveled appearance.

Shi Qingluo just remembered that she just took off his clothes.

She said silently in my heart: I am not embarrassed, but Xiao Hanzheng is embarrassed, cough cough!

"No problem!"

She reached out and quickly put Xiao Hanzheng's clothes on, pull down his trousers, and covered him with the quilt.

"Well, I didn't want to take advantage of you just now, I just wanted to help you check for injuries."

"Although the feeling is wonderful, ahem… I'm leaving!" She accidentally told the truth.

After explaining, Shi Qinglou ran away in a hurry.

Xiao Hanzheng was dumbfounded by her appearance, this woman was really… …

Then he turned his head and looked at the familiar room in his memory, his eyes were filled with a thick layer of hostility again, and he fell into deep thought.

On the other side, just as Shi Qingluo walked out of the room door, she met Xiao Baili who came over with food.

Xiao Baili also saw Shi Qingluo: "Sister-in-law, why did you come out?"

She smiled, "I brought you something to eat, just to rest your stomach first."

The banquet just started, and her mother packed a bowl of food and asked her to bring it to her sister-in-law.

Shi Qingluo knew that Mrs. Kong was considerate, and asked Xiao Baili to bring it to her first.

She was right.

She smiled and said: "Your brother is awake, I went out to report it."

Xiao Baili was taken aback for a moment, then widened her eyes: "Sister-in-law, you said my brother is awake?"

"Yes, he's awake!"

Shi Qingluo smiled and squeezed her face: "Get back to your senses, go and call your mother and the patriarch to come over."

Xiao Baili cried with joy: "Great, my brother woke up!"

Then she stuffed the meal with Shi Qingluo: "I'll call them right away."

Xiao Baili ran away to call people. While Shi Qingluo opened the door and went back inside with the food.

At this time, Xiao Hanzheng has returned to normal.

He looked at Shi Qingluo who came back with a somewhat inquiring gaze.

He heard her talking to his sister just now, and that was the voice of his sister in memory.

His younger sister called this woman sister-in-law, which means that she was his so-called wife.

So what time was this?

How could he have an extra wife?

Shi Qingluo took the meal and sat at a table not far away.

Not to mention, she didn't eat all morning, so she was starving.

She picked up the chopsticks and ate generously in front of Xiao Hanzheng.

Xiao Hanzheng watched Shi Qingluo eat steadily.

He found that the woman's eating speed was not slow, but she was very gentle and elegant, and she looked very educated.

The main point was she pick and choose, she set aside the fat she doesn't like to eat.

This doesn't quite look like a little village mountain girl.

But she was sallow and thin. The clothes she wears were all patches, and she should be a girl from a poor family, which was a bit contradictory.

Being stared at by Xiao Hanzheng, Shi Qingluo couldn't take it anymore, even if she was big-hearted.

She looked up at him: "Are you hungry?"

"It's a pity that you have been in a coma for about 10 days, so you can't eat this kind of food."

So don't think about my meal.

Xiao Hanzheng saw what she wanted to express at a glance: "… …"

I didn't think about eating your food.

Chapter 13: That's all you have

April 3, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng looked a little helpless.

"Can I trouble you for another favor?"

Shi Qingluo looked at him: "Huh?"

Then they heard hurried footsteps from outside.

Xiao Hanzheng said weakly: "Can you help me? I want to half sit up."

"Yes!" Shi Qingluo stood up and walked over.

She pulled Xiao Hanzheng's arm, but she didn't pull him up.

She knew that this person has been in a coma for so long. He hasn't eaten anything and didn't receive nutritional injections every day unlike in modern times. His body must be weak.

So she bent down and hugged Xiao Hanzheng's back, picked up his upper body, and moved towards the back.

Xiao Hanzheng, who was hugged by her, froze again. Doesn't this woman know how to be shy?

After moving the person, Shi Qingluo let go of Xiao Hanzheng, and stuffed a pillow behind his back: "Okay."

"Thank you!" Xiao Hanzheng looked a little unnatural.

When Shi Qingluo saw his awkward appearance, she chuckled lightly. Is he shy?

Tsk tsk, her little husband was innocent.

Xiao Hanzheng was half-sitting on the bed when the sound of pushing the door sounded.

Mrs. Kong and the three ran in as fast as they could.

Seeing the half-sitting person on the bed, Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili couldn't hold back their tears. Even Xiao Hanyi's eyes were also red.

"Zheng'er, it's great that you're awake!" Mrs. Kong clasped her hands together.

"Brother!" Xiao Baili and XiaoHanyi also surrounded him.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his living mother, brother, and sister, and finally felt real.

It turned out that he came back in time. His younger brother hadn't drowned yet, his younger sister hadn't been sold to be buried with her future husband, and his mother hadn't been bitten to death by wild animals in the mountains just because she wanted to earn for him.

He still had time to change all of this.

"Mom!" He looked at his mother sourly and gratefully.

Then he looked at his younger siblings: "Baili, Yi'er, I'm awake. Leave everything to me from now on."

Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you this time.

The mother and daughter cried even harder: "Good!"

Xiao Hanzheng looked at the few people who came over.

He had a handsome smile on his face, but his voice was still weak: "Grandpa patriarch, uncles, when I was in a coma, thank you for helping to take care of my mother and younger siblings."

When Shi Qingluo looked at Xiao Hanzheng, she felt a gentle and elegant feeling like jade.

So she can't help but think about when he just woke up. His eyes were full of coldness, like a grim reaper from hell, which was very different at this moment.

She slightly raised her eyebrow. This little gentleman doesn't seem simple!

Patriarch Xiao and others saw Xiao Hanzheng wake up, and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of their hearts.

Patriarch Xiao looked at him lovingly: "You're awake."

A clan elder stroked his beard and said: "Hanzheng must be blessed to wake up at this time."

Others also agreed.

When Shi Qingluo heard what they said: "Did you wake up because of my luck?"

She was a lucky star, so people woke up, she needs this reputation.

Look at how good she was, she just took the initiative to marry people, and her husband woke up on the day she got married. How lucky she must be!

In the future, if she and Xiao Hanzheng have a quarrel and want to divorce, she could stand at the peak of morality.

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

She dared to say anything.

In his previous life, after he fell into a coma, he also woke up by himself. At that time, no one cheered him up.

People present: "… …."

How should they respond to this?

They can't say it's not true.

Before, the doctor concluded that Xiao Hanzheng would not be able to wake up, so they should be mentally prepared, or they could prepare for the funeral, but now he has woken up.

And it happened to be the day when Shi Qinglou from the Shi family got married, which was too coincidental.

So this lucky event was really useful.

Patriarch Xiao said with a smile: "Haha, Hanzheng's wife is also a blessed person."

He looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said: "Your wife voluntarily took the initiative to marry you. This genuine character is rare, you should cherish it."

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned for a moment. He was surprised to know that Shi Qingluo married him on her initiative.

He had never seen her before. But since waking up this time, he has seen her with clear and pure eyes, without admiration or possessiveness.

Now he has nothing but fame as a scholar.

What's more, he was still comatose before, and she might be a widow after marrying, so what was she planning?

He couldn't figure out why Shi Qingluo married him, so he didn't think about it for the time being. He would figure it out later.

He nodded to Patriarch Xiao and smiled: "Don't worry, Grandpa Patriarch, I will."

Patriarch Xiao nodded: "You have been in a coma for more than ten days, and you look weak. You should take care of yourself during this time."

"Your mother and son have a good talk."

After finishing speaking, he took other people out.

Shi Qingluo also stood up: "I'll take the patriarch and the others out to continue the banquet."

She also took the initiative to give up the space to talk to the mother and son.

If it were her, she must also be curious, why did she wake up with an extra wife?

Xiao Hanzheng understood: "Madam, please help me to entertain the guests first."

Shi Qingluo found that this guy reacted very quickly, "Okay, I will."

So she went out with the patriarch and the others.

After a few people left, Xiao Hanzheng looked at Mrs. Kong and said: "Mother, can you explain now, why I suddenly have an extra wife?"

Mrs. Kong smiled with a guilty conscience: "Well, she is your younger sibling and your savior."

"I thought that the grace of saving a life should be promised with the body. It also has the same meaning as marrying her, so I helped you marry her back."

"Qinglou is very good, your brother, your sister, and I like her."

She said again: "Such a good girl, you will also like her in the future."

She spoke with a heavy tone, and she didn't know whether to emphasize to her son or to comfort herself.

Xiao Hanzheng was puzzled, "Thank her for saving their life?"

Xiao Hanyi immediately said: "Yes, I fell into the river and almost drowned, but sister Qinglou happened to pass by and rescued me."

Xiao Baili also said: "Sister Qingluo sent Yi'er back that day, and met First Aunt who brought people from the Wu Family, who forcibly dragged me away to marry and be buried with their young master."

"She beat up First Aunt, threatened the people of the Wu family, and saved me."

Mrs. Kong added: "You used to have a high fever, and it kept coming back and forth. The doctor said that as long as your fever doesn't go down, you might not be able to wake up again."

"It was Qinglou who took out the medicine made by her master and asked us to let you take it, and you didn't have a fever the next day."

"Qinglou married you today, and you woke up by her luck."

"So Qinglou is not only our family's savior but also your lucky star."

She kept praising Shi Qingluo with good words. She hoped that her son would not dislike her and treat her better in the future.

"Yes, Sister Qingluo is very good. We like her very much, eldest brother will like her too." Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi agreed.

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

So while he was in a coma, his mother and younger siblings used his body in exchange, ahem, married him out?

He had a little wife without knowing it at all…

Chapter 14: Open up

April 4, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng then responded without question.

Shi Qingluo had already saved his younger brother and sister and even lowered his fever to wake him up early, which was equivalent to saving his mother.

For his family, it was indeed a life-saving grace that cannot be repaid.

When he just woke up, he was still worried that his mother, younger brothers, and sisters were all dead like in the previous life.

Now, he came back in time, but he missed again the time point. If Shi Qingluo was not there, his younger brother and sister have already walked the old path of the previous life.

He couldn't help but be extremely grateful.

Therefore, with the sudden addition of such a wife, he felt more helpless than rejected and disgusted.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at Mrs. Kong and asked: "Mother, Shi Qingluo is not from our village, right?"

"The people in their family, how could they let her come to marry me?"

Before he woke up, when she married into their family, it was equivalent to jumping into a fire pit.

In his previous life, when he was in a coma, he heard the patriarch say that his mother, younger brother, and younger sister were all dead, so he struggled hard to wake himself up.

Otherwise, he was afraid that those people's wishes will be fulfilled.

So to say, Shi Qingluo was more likely to be a widow after marrying.

He was afraid that no normal natal family would agree.

Mrs. Kong replied: "Qinglou is a daughter from the Shi Family in Shangxi Village."

"She is also a poor person. When she was a just few years old, she was sent by her family to work in a Taoist Temple. Not long ago, the Old Taoist passed away, so she returned home."

"A few days ago, she was almost sent by the Shi Family to marry and be buried with Young Master Wu."

"I just don't know if the Shi Family's conscience was disturbed later, and they took the initiative to go to the Wu Family and divorced."

"I don't know why exactly the Shi Family agreed. They just said that Qinglou wants to marry you, and they can't object."

Then he told Xiao Hanzheng exactly what Shi Qingluo had talked with her, and what happened when she went to Shi Family's house.

Xiao Hanzheng is also remembered after listening.

When he investigated the Wu Family in his previous life, he found that before his sister was dragged to the Wu family to marry and be buried, the Wu Family originally chose the daughter of the Shi Family in Shangxi Village.

But that girl was accidentally knocked to death on the day the Wu Family came to pick her up.

According to accurate information, the girl was killed when she was captured by her mother.

That's why the Wu Family raised the dowry price again. When his vicious First Aunt and Third Aunt heard about it, they immediately sent her sister to be buried with Young Master Wu and got one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

So Shi Qingluo was that dead girl?

He was no stranger to the Shi Family. Shi Qingluo's Fourth Uncle was his classmate in the county school, and he was a hypocrite.

He also heard other people talk about some things about the Shi Family in private, how could such a family have a disturbed conscience and voluntarily withdraw the engagement?

It was even more impossible not to accept the bride price, and send food as a dowry, and let the daughter in their family marry him.

He asked again: "Shi Qingluo said there is no need for a bride price, did the Shi family agree to it?"

Mrs. Kong nodded and said: "Yes, I was worried that the Shi Family would make things difficult. Who knew that everything would be so smooth."

"Qinglou must have taken care of it." She could still see the unhappy attitude of the Shi Family.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "I see."

When he first heard that Shi Qingluo had rescued his younger siblings, he wondered if Shi Qingluo was the same as him.

Because she knew that he reached a high position in his previous life, so she deliberately saved his relatives and asked to be married.

But after listening to it, he realized that it shouldn't be. According to the timeline of his previous life, when he woke up, Shi Qingluo had already been beaten to death.

"That Old Taoist is Qinglou's master, so she is also very powerful, and she is a blessed person."

"Since you can wake up, Qinglou is your lucky star."

Mrs. Kong emphasized: "Don't dislike her as a peasant girl. Even if you are admitted to Juren in the future, you can't let her down."

She has always known that her son was a person with great ambitions. Especially after what happened before, she was afraid that he will be stimulated to work harder.

But in her heart, Shi Qingluo was a benefactor, a daughter-in-law, and a lucky star. She cannot let her down.

Xiao Hanzheng's eyes were full of helplessness: "I know mother, I will not despise and let her down."

In his previous life, he had devoted all his energy to revenge. He had never married a wife, and he had never even touched a woman.

As for the government's marriage regulations, in the early stage, he was in exile. No one took the initiative to control him. In the later stage, when he was in a high position, no one dared to force him to marry him, so he never married.

Moreover, such regulations were mainly aimed at ordinary people, and the government will not force those who were unmarried in old age.

But what his mother said was right, no matter what, Shi Qingluo was his family's savior.

Just focus on this, and as long as Shi Qingluo doesn't betray and hurt his family in the future, he will treat her well.

Mrs. Kong was relieved when she heard her son's promise.

She wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief, stood up, and said happily: "You just woke up, I asked Baili to make some porridge for you. I will take Yi'er to continue entertaining guests."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Mrs. Kong and his siblings left, Xiao Hanzheng leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes when he heard the door being pushed open.

Seeing Shi Qingluo walking in with a bowl.

Shi Qingluo walked up to Xiao Hanzheng: "Come on, drink this."

This was the glucose she took out from space just now, to give him some energy.

Xiao Hanzheng took it and saw that there was water in the bowl.

Since Shi Qingluo took medicine to lower his fever before, it was not possible to poison him now.

And as long as it touches his mouth, he can know whether it was poison or not.

So without hesitation, he took it up and drank it. Who knew it was not ordinary water, but taste sweet?

It doesn't taste like sugar, either.

He asked: "What is this?"

Shi Qinglou sat back and said, "Sugar water, it's good for your body."

"Thank you!" Xiao Hanzheng didn't ask where it came from.

He doesn't know why, but he always felt that she was not like the girl who died in his previous life.

Everyone has their secrets, and so does he, so there was no need to deliberately dig.

Shi Qingluo smiled: "We are a family for the time being, so you are welcome."

Xiao Hanzheng raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean being a family temporarily?"

Shi Qingluo replied with a smile: "Your mother should have told you the reason why I married here."

"I want to get rid of my good relatives, the Shi family, but I don't want to marry into a big family and live together with them, which may have powerful grandparents or in-laws."

"As for me, I have a strong personality. When others respect me, I will give them equal respect. But it is impossible to bully me."

She could tell that Xiao Hanzheng was not simple. Seeing the comparison between his attitude after waking up and when seeing the patriarch and others just now, she estimated that he was both a good and bad person.

So since they were discussing things, and both of them were smart people, there was no need to hide things.

"To be honest, although I said to the outside world that I voluntarily married you to wish you luck, it was also because I fell in love with you."

She clenched her hands into fists and coughed softly on her lips: "But actually, I'm here for your family, and I think it's very suitable for me."

"After all, before I got married, I didn't know you, let alone met you."

"What I mean is, if the two of us can't get along in the future if you have a crush or like someone else, we'll go separate ways."

"So we are a family for the time being."

Now that she has opened up, she must let Xiao Hanzheng know and reassure him that she will not rely on his family or him. And if they don't get along, it was no big deal to divorce and live their own lives.

Xiao Hanzheng: "……"

His little wife was thinking already about their divorce and separation in the future.

Chapter 15: You are responsible for being beautiful

April 5, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng was able to reach a high position in his previous life, and he contacted and studied many people.

Because of this, he had a general understanding of Shi Qingluo's character through the two times he talked with Shi Qingluo.

She was generous and straightforward. Her character was indeed a bit strong, but she does things more neatly.

This was a character he admires more.

It may be related to his own experience. Although he was not disgusted with women who were weak and obedient, have no opinions, or take their husbands as their gods, he can't like them either.

Therefore, in his previous life, it was no one wanted to marry him. Many families wanted to marry their daughters to him, and some women loved and wanted to marry him, but he refused.

What he wanted was a wife who could stand by him or understand him, but he never met one until his death.

He smiled and asked: "So you don't need to meet me, you married mainly for my family?"

"If I didn't wake up and died, wouldn't you be a widow?"

"Then if I am ugly, or have a bad personality after waking up, or even beat my wife, what will you do?"

He was a little curious about this, and it was obvious that Shi Qingluo was not someone who would wrong herself.

Shi Qingluo laughed, "I'm not stupid, of course, I have to see what you look like before marrying here."

"When I delivered medicine to your mother that day, I took the opportunity to see how you look."

"If you look too ugly, I will not consider marrying into your family."

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

His face seemed to play an important role when she married him.

Shi Qingluo continued: "Besides, as I said just now, I came here for your family. Naturally, the reasons are because of your mother and younger siblings."

"Their temperament is easy to get along with me, so I am not afraid of being a widow. Even without you, I can lead them to live a happy life."

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

It turned out that she even took into account what will happen after his death when he couldn't wake up.

He was thankful to her… …

Shi Qingluo raised her small fist and shook it, then said: "As for you waking up, if you have a bad temper or dare to hit me, then I will definitely make you cry and call your mother, and then I will divorce you."

"But of course, before I got married, I heard people in the village talk about you."

"You didn't follow your rich father, but choose your poor mother. In my point of view, it's admirable."

"You fight for what you want. But if you give up your mother and siblings for the sake of power, then what's your difference with your scumbag father?"

"And looking at the reaction of your mother and younger siblings, it can be seen that you protect them very well. At least you treat your relatives well. So you are not bad."

"Overall, you should be a responsible and self-motivated person."

"That's why I took the initiative to choose to marry you."

Although Shi Qingluo was born into a wealthy family, she was an expert in agricultural research. So when dealing with people, she prefers to be straightforward and dislikes beating around the bush and calculating.

Xiao Hanzheng couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that his little wife had considered so much before marrying him.

Not only she was a straightforward and quick-tempered girl, but she was also a very smart girl.

In his previous life, he was quite tired of fighting with others and plotting against each other.

Now seeing his little wife act so straightforwardly, he thinks it was good. At least, he won't feel tired to get along with her. He even found it quite interesting.

Since his little wife was so frank and straightforward, he didn't go around in circles: "I don't have someone I like, and I won't like others in the future, so you don't have to think about divorce and separation."

Shi Qingluo glanced at him, "Then what if our personalities don't match, or if we don't get along well? I will leave."

"I think that if a husband and wife want to be together, aside from communicating with each other, at least, they must have a foundation in a relationship."

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

Which wife would talk about divorce so confidently on the first day of marriage?

"Okay, I won't force you on this."

"You saved my younger brother and sister and gave me medicine to lower my fever to wake up. I will remember this great kindness."

"As long as you are my wife for a day, I will not wrong you, I will treat you well." This was his promise.

Shi Qing raised an eyebrow: "You mean, as long as we get along, you won't divorce?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "Yes, you are my wife in this life."

Shi Qingluo thought for a while, "All right, then let's try marriage."

"If we get along, I will stay, if we don't, I will leave."

After Xiao Hanzheng woke up, his appearance and temperament were all in her aesthetic points. The most important point was, he was a smart person and easy to communicate with.

Mrs. Kong and his two siblings were all easy to get along with.

This was not easy to encounter in modern times.

Since she was married, it was best not to leave in this general environment where being single was not popular.

And after coming here all of a sudden, her relatives, the Shi Family were all top-notch scum. She was alone, and she doesn't have a career.

In this strange world, she still hopes that someone will accompany her and work hard together.

Although Xiao Hanzheng has never heard of the term "trial marriage", he can understand the meaning literally.

His brows and eyes were stained with a smile, "Yes, just do as you said."

Shi Qingluo thought for a while and asked: "Are you going to continue taking the imperial examination?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded confidently and said: "I'll take the exam, and I will work hard to make it to the top."

The revenge in the previous life was too fierce, so it was better to change the game in this life.

In addition, his relatives were still alive, so it was necessary to take the formal imperial examination to become an official.

Shi Qinglou nodded: "That's good."

She was high-spirited, so she said with a confident smile: "From now on, I will be responsible for making money to support the family, and you will be responsible for being beautiful as a flower, and you will also take the imperial examination and become an official to be our backer."

This was ancient times. If you have no power, you can't do whatever you want to do, you may even be calculated or robbed.

Another thing she valued about Xiao Hanzheng was his potential.

He can concentrate on the imperial examination, and when he becomes an official in the future, it wouldn't be too late to hug his thigh. Her earning money to support his family was equal to the initial investment.

Xiao Hanzheng's face couldn't help turning black: "Beautiful as a flower?" What does this mean?

Shi Qingluo blinked: "Just take good care of your face, I often look at it, and it's pleasing to the eye."

Who told her to be a face controller?

Xiao Hanzheng couldn't laugh or cry, why does this little wife have so many weird ideas?

"Okay, I'll listen to you." He said helplessly.

Shi Qingluo stretched out her small fist in front of Xiao Hanzheng: "Then it's settled."

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned seeing her like this. But then quickly realized that this should mean shaking hands or pulling a hook.

He raised his hand with great effort, clenched his fist, and touched her fist: "Mmm."

After a while, Xiao Baili came in with a bowl of porridge.

She handed it to Shi Qingluo with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please help feed brother this porridge."

She was twelve years old, not suitable for this kind of thing.

Letting her sister-in-law feed her brother porridge can also make the two of them get along closer.

Shi Qingluo took it generously: "Okay."

After sitting in front of the bed, she scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew it, and put it close to Xiao Hanzheng's mouth: "Eat."

It was the first time Xiao Hanzheng to be fed porridge like this, and he was a little embarrassed and awkward.

If it wasn't for his lack of strength, he still wanted to eat by himself.

But seeing Shi Qingluo's clear eyes and generous actions, he put aside his awkwardness and opened his mouth to eat the porridge.

Chapter 16: It doesn't look like it

April 6, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Hanzheng's body was very weak. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shi Qingluo didn't bother him, she went out to help Mrs. Kong and others clean up.

After getting busy until the afternoon, after dinner, Shi Qinglou went back to Xiao Hanzheng's room, found a storybook, and read it.

After a while, Xiao Hanzheng woke up.

He doesn't know if it was because he drank Shi Qingluo's so-called sugar water and porridge, but he felt that his body was not so weak now.

He could prop himself up halfway up.

Seeing that Shi Qingluo was reading the book, he asked: "Are you literate?"

He didn't despise Shi Qingluo but was surprised.

There were no literate girls in the village, and it was difficult for boys to go to school.

Shi Qingluo put down the book and looked at him: "I am!"

"When I was in the Taoist temple, I learned it from my Taoist Master."

The Old Taoist Master taught the owner of the body and the other four Taoist boys how to read.

She added: "When my Taoist Master is making alchemy, we have to help record the starting time, changes in the middle, closing time, etc."

However, the Old Taoist Master mainly teaches these to the two boys, the owner of the body, and the other girl mainly does odd jobs. They only know common and simple characters, not too many.

Her grandfather liked ancient literature. She was rebellious when she was young, so she was taken home by her grandfather. She was asked to copy scriptures or ancient texts with a brush every day to reflect.

So not only does she know the basics of traditional Chinese characters, but she can also write them down.

The Old Taoist Master was easy to use, she can push everything to him. She gave herself a thumbs-up for being witty.

Xiao Hanzheng half-believed it: "So that's the case."

He looked for a topic to chat about: "Is this script good?"

Shi Qingluo curled her lips in disgust: "It's not good, the bloody routines of young lady and scholar encounters are tiresome."

When she was free, she used to read novels to pass the time. Old-fashioned storybook routines like this are no longer played in modern times.

"Then why are you still reading so engrossed?" Xiao Hanzheng laughed.

Shi Qingluo yawned, "I'm bored, I just look at it to pass the time."

She looked at him with a half-smile, "Do you like reading this kind of script?"

You look like someone who likes such a thing, I misread you.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is the script I copied from the county town before I fell into a coma. I don't like to read it myself."

Shi Qingluo felt that he didn't seem like someone who would like to read such scripts.

"It turned out to be for making money."

She asked again: "Then why don't you write a story yourself? It should be more profitable than copying books."

Xiao Hanzheng said helplessly: "I don't understand the love between these scholars and young ladies, and I don't like this kind of plot, so I can't write it."

He chose to copy the script because the money given was higher.

Shi Qingluo touched her chin: "Then what kind of plot do you like?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Hanzheng always felt that there was something in her words.

Shi Qingluo said: "I can help you provide ideas, conceive plots and characters, and you can polish it."

Xiao Hanzheng raised an eyebrow: "Do you know the love stories between those scholars and young ladies very well?"

It doesn't look like it!

Shi Qinglou rolled her eyes at him: "You think too much, what I am saying is that we can write about other genres."

"For example, cultivation." She has read a different kinds of cultivation novels and TV series.

She didn't want to copy other people, she felt that she could come up with a lot of plots. One who has not tasted pork must have seen a pig running.

She has never been in a relationship before, so if she wants to have a trial marriage with Xiao Hanzheng. She must first have a common language to chat with so that they can get along and develop.

If they do the same thing together, it will be easier to talk about things, and getting along will be more natural.

This was the reason why she suggested to Xiao Hanzheng to try writing a storybook.

When she was young, she was a school bully. She beat up all the boys and girls who bullied their classmates, so no boy dared to chase her.

When she was in college, many male students were chasing her, but unfortunately, she didn't like any of them.

After graduating from university, she went against her parent's wishes. Not only, she didn't go to the company but instead entered the Agricultural Research Institute.

Her mind was all on research, and she don't have time and energy to talk about love.

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned: "Cultivation?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "That's right, for example, the protagonist is a village mountain boy who suddenly had an adventure one day, and then embarked on the journey of cultivating immortality."

Xiao Hanzheng became a bit interested: "Tell me carefully, I should be able to write about this."

He can accept this subject, but he was incapable of accepting the love and love stories of the young lady or the scholar goblin.

Shi Qingluo chatted with Xiao Hanzheng.

The two didn't stop until there was a knock on the door.

Shi Qingluo opened the door and saw Mrs. Kong coming in with a quilt in her arms.

Mrs. Kong smiled softly at Shi Qingluo and said: "Zheng'er has already woken up. There is no need for me, Baili, and Yi'er to keep watch at night, so I bring your quilt over."

From Mrs. Kong's point of view, the two were already married, and the husband and wife will naturally live together.

"Okay, thank you, Mother." Shi Qingluo also knew what she meant.

And there were no other rooms in this house for people to live in.

This was the original old house of the Xiao family, where there were only two rooms.

Originally, Mrs. Kong and her daughter lived in one room, and Xiao Hanzheng and his younger brother lived in one room.

The day before she got married, Mrs. Kong wanted her to have her room, and just let Xiao Hanyi live in a small cubicle.

Shi Qingluo couldn't stay crowded with Mrs. Kong and others, and it was even more impossible for her to wrong herself and live in a firewood house.

Anyway, she and Xiao Hanzheng were already married. Although they didn't worship, they have a marriage certificate, which was equivalent to the marriage certificate in modern times.

Since they were husband and wife, they have to try this marriage. Whether they get divorced in the future, it was okay to live together.

Anyway, Xiao Hanzheng should not do anything to her until she agrees, otherwise, she will blow his head off.

The smile on Mrs. Kong's face deepened: "You are welcome as a family."

Xiao Hanzheng did not expect Shi Qingluo would agree to live in a room with him.

Thinking that there was no other place to live at home, she will not wrong herself to sleep in the woodshed.

But even if she wanted to sleep in the woodshed, they would not agree.

He suddenly thought, would she choose to sleep on Xiao Hanyi's couch at night, or would she sleep in the same bed with him?

Of course, he couldn't wrong his wife to sleep on the small couch. He was just curious.

Mrs. Kong put the quilt inside Xiao Hanzheng's bed.

Then she said to him: "After you recover, thank the patriarch and others in person. When you were in a coma, our family received a lot of care from them."

"The Xiao Family didn't come to make trouble today, it's also because the patriarch is here."

It was also possible that Shi Qinglou was here, so those two shrews did not come.

Otherwise, people from the Xiao Family would come over to make trouble or occupy a table for dinner.

Of course, she didn't tell her son about this, it would be bad if he misunderstood that Shi Qinglou was a tigress.

Shi Qinglou was gentle and kind, and she was also forced by those top-notch scums.

Yes, indeed.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I should thank them."

In his previous life, whether it was before or after the separation, the patriarch and others gave him and his family a lot of help.

He always remembers these kindnesses.

In the last life, he repaid them, but this life belongs to this life, and even so, he will repay them.

Hearing Mrs. Kong mention the Xiao Family, his originally gentle eyes turned cold.

Chapter 17: Can't you keep your mouth shut?

April 7, 2023Ai Hrist

Mrs. Kong sat for a while and left with a smile.

Shi Qingluo got up early today, so she was sleepy.

She went out to wash and returned to the room. She looked at Xiao Hanzheng's bed and looked at the small couch in the corner.

She still chose not to wrong herself.

She walked to Xiao Hanzheng's bed generously: "Do you like to sleep inside or outside the bed?"

Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised by Shi Qingluo's choice.

He chuckled lightly: "I thought you would let me sleep on the small couch."

Shi Qingluo said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a patient now, I would let you sleep on the small couch."

"Thank you very much." Xiao Hanzheng couldn't laugh or cry.

Shi Qinglou waved her hand: "You're welcome."

"Or you can sleep outside?"

Xiao Hanzheng didn't care, "Okay!"

So Shi Qingluo took off her shoes, crossed over from where his legs were, and got on the bed.

Xiao Hanzheng's bed was about 1.8 meters tall, both of them were thin, and when Shi Qingluo slept, it was very empty.

She covered herself with the quilt, looked at Xiao Hanzheng, and asked: "Are you sleepy?"

Xiao Hanzheng felt that her heart was big: "Are you not afraid that I will do something to you?"

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes: "Come on, with my current bean sprout figure, sallow and thin face, I look ugly. Can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Xiao Hanzheng couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that I can't."

How can a girl say that about herself?

Shi Qinglou raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xiao Hanzheng.

She smiled meaningfully: "And with your body that will collapse when the wind blows, even if you can't keep your mouth shut. Are you sure you can do something to me?"

Xiao Hanzheng, who was smiling at first, turned black involuntarily. This woman was shameless to doubt his ability… …

He explained: "I was fine before I got sick."

Shi Qingluo yawned indifferently: "Even if you return to your former health, you can't think about it without my permission. If you dare to insult me, I will blow your head off."

"I'll go to bed first, you can do whatever you want!" Then she rolled pulled back her quilt, turned around, and closed her eyes with her back facing Xiao Hanzheng.

Xiao Hanzheng: "… …"

Not only she has a big heart, but she was also a little tigress.

He sat and thought about what to do next.

His little wife said before that she will earn money to support the family, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

It was not that he looks down on her, but as a man, he has to take on the responsibility of the family.

Of course, if his little wife wants to make money, he will not object.

Since it was decided that they will try this marriage and become a family, it will easily lead to unfamiliarity if you care about it.

Hearing the sound of even breathing, the corners of his lips curved. He blew out the oil lamp and lay down to sleep.

In his previous life, he suffered from insomnia every day, and it was even more difficult to fall asleep late at night. He had to take medicine to sleep for two or three hours.

He originally thought that because there was another person beside him, it would be harder to fall asleep.

Who knew that when he woke up again, it was already dawn, which surprised him?

At this time, Shi Qinglou had already woken up early and performed a set of health-preserving Tai Chi.

In the owner of the body's memory, the life in the Taoist temple was not bad, the Old Taoist did not abuse them, and she could have enough food every day.

It was just, he was old-fashioned and don't eat meat, so they also follow a vegetarian diet. They haven't eaten meat for many years, and the owner of the body's nutrition was out of balance.

After returning home, she got up early and go to bed late, and she has to do a lot of work every day.

The owner of the body was malnourished, resulting in fairly fair skin and a normal-weight body, becoming sallow and emaciated, and her body became weaker.

In her previous life, she was a beautiful woman with protruding front and back. Her original body was seventy-eight percent similar to hers, but her current appearance made her unable to bear to look at herself directly.

Fortunately, there was no mirror, so she can only see herself from the reflection in the water, otherwise, she will cry.

So she has to adjust this body as soon as possible, not to mention restore her beautiful and perfect figure in the previous life, at least by seven or eight points.

Just as she was in deep thought, she felt someone staring at her from behind.

She turned around and saw Xiao Hanzheng standing at the door of the room with a cane.

Last night, she gave him another drink of glucose and energy-supplementing nutrients. The main point was that she gave him spring water in the space, so he can walk on the ground today.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and asked: "What kind of punch are you doing?"

He has never seen such a move before, it looks soft, but there was strength hidden.

Shi Qingluo replied: "Health preserving Taichi, taught by my master."

"When your body is not so weak, I will teach you this set of boxing, which can unblock meridians, balance yin, and yang, qi, and blood, and strengthen your body."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!"

He had seen twice, the old immortal master that the villagers were talking about.

Seeing that the other party was skinny, her body doesn't look very good. It seems that she was addicted to something and often suffers from sleepless tossing.

It doesn't look like she punched to keep fit.

Shi Qingluo had finished punching.

While wiping sweat from her forehead, she looked at Xiao Hanzheng and asked: "Do you know tofu?"

Xiao Hanzheng was puzzled, "What is tofu?"

Shi Qinglou laughed and said, "It's a kind of food."

The owner of the body didn't have tofu in her memory, but she wasn't sure if there was any in this world.

After hearing what Xiao Hanzheng said, she has no doubt anymore.

Tofu has definite historical records in the Song Dynasty, and the current Daliang was similar to the appearance of the early Tang Dynasty.

Even if they already exist in other places, they don't have them in this area.

Shi Qingluo said: "Let's make tofu today."

When she was on a trip, she went to a place called Tofu Village.

The tofu was the main tourist attraction there. Tourists can not only visit the tofu workshop for free but also learn to make tofu.

She also learned it with her friends.

Before leaving, her friend bought brine and gave her a portion, saying that she could make tofu by herself when she went back.

On the way, she was afraid that the brine would spill out of the suitcase, so she put it in the space, and gradually forgot about it after returning.

When she was tidying up the space at the Shi Family's house, she found this brine in a corner. The time of the space was static and will not expire.

That's why she asked the Shi Family to give her Soybean as a dowry.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at her with a half-smile and asked: "Is this also taught by your master?"

Shi Qingluo met his black eyes that seemed to be able to see through something and moved away without guilt.

Instead, she nodded confidently: "Yes! I want some tofu brine, which I also brought from the mountain."

For a smart person like Xiao Hanzheng, after getting along for a long time, she will show her feet.

It seems that he should have some doubts, that what she knows was not learned from the Old Taoist.

But even if he has doubts, so what, she was not afraid.

Anyway, she will bite the bullet and put everything on the Old Taoist's head. It doesn't matter who checks it. The Old Taoist Master has passed away, and the main hall of the Taoist Temple was blown up. There was no proof of evidence.

"Okay, what should I do, do you need help?" Although Xiao Hanzheng was dubious, he didn't reveal it.

Since the little wife said that she learned it from her Old Taoist Master, then whoever asks in the future he will say she learned it from the Old Taoist Master.

Anyway, in the eyes of the villagers, that Old Taoist was an immortal being.

As an immortal being, of course, he knew many things that ordinary people have never seen before.

Shi Qingluo knew Xiao Hanzheng automatically helped her make up lies.

She just thought this guy was not bad, but always on point.

Chapter 18: She can do what she wanted to do

April 10, 2023Ai Hrist

Shi Qingluo asked Mrs. Kong and the others to help soak the soybeans last night.

She then asked: "Is there a grinder at home?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "There is none at home, there is a public stone mill in the village."

"Do you want to grind soybeans?"

Shi Qingluo snapped her fingers: "Smart!"

"I will ask Mother to accompany me to grind the soybeans. Only after grinding, I can make tofu."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay, I can help you when I recover."

He doesn't think Shi Qingluo will make tofu just for today's meal. She will probably make it more often in the future.

When Shi Qingluo heard it, she could hear the hidden meaning in his words.

She found that Xiao Hanzheng's appearance and temperament not only fitted her aesthetic point of view but also very clever, which was also very suitable for her appetite.

In the past, she rejected all her suitors because those people could not have a tacit understanding or harmony with her.

"Mmm!" She nodded.

She went to the kitchen to call Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili. They carried the soaked soybeans in the bucket and other empty buckets, and walk towards the stone mill in the village.

When they met some people along the way, they would take the initiative to say hello to Mrs. Kong.

It can be seen that Mrs. Kong's reputation in the village was still good.

Shi Qingluo also discovered that the people in Xiaxi Village were much simpler than those in Shangxi Village.

Someone also took the initiative to greet Shi Qingluo, and she responded with a generous smile.

Seeing them carrying soybeans and buckets, a few people who have a good relationship with Mrs. Kong asked: "Yuelan, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Kong's full name was Kong Yuelan.

She laughed and replied: "My daughter-in-law wants to grind out the soybeans."

Some people wondered: "Why do you want to grind the soybeans?"

Isn't this waste, they have never seen anyone who grinds soybeans and eats them as food.

Shi Qingluo replied with a smile: "Because I want to make tofu."

"What is tofu?" Everyone was even more puzzled.

Shi Qingluo didn't hide it, "It's a kind of food. When I was in the Taoist Temple, my master taught us to do it."

Several people asked curiously: "Is that delicious?"

Shi Qinglou nodded: "It's delicious."

She smiled again and said: "After it's done, you can come to our house and try it."

She had already thought about it before. For those who helped the Xiao family before, after the tofu was made, she would send some to their home to taste.

Aside from keeping human relationships, it was also for the first wave of publicity.

A few people were a little embarrassed: "That's not necessary, you can keep it for yourself."

The current situation of the Xiao family was not good, and they were embarrassed to take it.

They heard that these soybeans were brought as dowry by the daughter of the Shi Family.

Shi Qingluo smiled generously: "You helped my mother-in-law a lot before, just taste some tofu, no need to be so polite."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Kong also knew that her daughter-in-law wanted to make tofu and share it with these well-connected neighbors.

Whether it was the soybeans or tofu, they don't belong to the Xiao family. She couldn't offer it to curry favors.

But if her daughter-in-law has this idea, she will not object.

Anyway, she believed her daughter-in-law was a formidable person, so she just listens to her.

So she also smiled and said: "This is just a little bit of heart of my family, so don't refuse it."

After hearing what she said, several people did not refuse again, mainly because they were a little curious about this tofu.

They heard that the Old Taoist Master on the mountain ascended to heaven and became immortal. He was so powerful. Since he taught this to Xiao Hanzheng's wife, it should not be bad.

They also stepped forward to help and went to grind soybeans together.

After grinding the soybeans, several people went to the Xiao family to help.

When Shi Qinglou went to the kitchen, she only called Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi to help.

Several people saw this and didn't say anything, just sat and chatted with Mrs. Kong.

Seeing Xiao Hanzheng coming out of the room with a cane, although his face was pale, it could be seen that he recovered from illness.

"Dalang, you can go to the field now."

Seeing that he was able to go out of the room after waking up, several people were happy for Mrs. Kong and greeted him.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled handsomely: "It's all thanks to my wife."

"Back then, she was blessed after worshiping her master. After marrying me, she also brought me these blessings."

He took the opportunity to help Shi Qinglou pull out her old master to raise the banner.

These ordinary people like to gossip in their village, so he believes this matter will be publicized in the village soon.

"That's good. The happy life of you, young couple, is still yet to come." After hearing this, several people thought it made sense.

Before, Xiao Hanzheng fell unconscious and almost died.

After that, when the daughter of the Shi Family came to get married yesterday, Xiao Hanzheng woke up, and he can even go out of the room today.

The daughter of the Shi Family was amazing. She was indeed a blessed person, and worthy of being the apprentice of the Old Immortal Master.

After chatting a few more words, Xiao Hanzheng said goodbye and went to the kitchen to find Shi Qingluo.

At this time, Shi Qinglou had already filtered the dregs and put the soy milk on the stove to cook.

There was a large medical gauze in her space, so she took it out to filter the residue.

Shi Qingluo turned her head and asked, "Why did you come in?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied with a smile: "Come in and see you."

"Do you need to keep the process of making tofu secret? If you do, I will go out first." He mean to say that he did not come to spy on how tofu was made.

He was just curious about what his little wife was going to do.

Shi Qingluo smiled and waved her hands indifferently: "No need, the family doesn't need to keep it secret, just watch."

If people haven't learned this thing in modern times, they can search for it on Baidu and make it according to it.

The "Traveling Book" given by her cousin also has tofu recipes, and the production method was not very different from what she learned.

At that time, she and her friends lived in the tofu village for three days, waiting to eat the largest tofu banquet once a month, and also learned to make other soy products by the way.

The difference was that she learned and did it in person, while the other was just written on paper.

Hearing that Shi Qingluo said that they were a family and that there was no need to keep it secret, Xiao Hanzheng's cold and closed heart cracked.

He can see that Shi Qingluo was serious and didn't have any other intentions: "Then let me see what is this tofu you're making."

Shi Qingluo chuckled lightly and said: "Okay, for the sake of being so upright, I'll give you the first bowl of soy milk and tofu beancurd later.

She heard the conversation between Xiao Hanzheng and several people just now.

This guy was too smart and resourceful so that she can do what she wanted to do.

The main point was, that credibility when he spoke about it was higher than hers. After all, he was the one who was awakened by luck.

Xiao Hanzheng knew what she was referring to, so he said with a smile in his eyes: "I'm looking forward to it."

After a while, the soy milk boiled, Shi Qingluo scooped up a few bowls and added some sugar left over from the banquet yesterday.

She stirred it with chopsticks, picked up a bowl, and handed it to Xiao Hanzheng: "Come, have a bowl of soy milk first."

She then added: "Drink a cup of soy milk every morning, it's good for your body."

Xiao Hanzheng took it and took a sip, "Not bad."

The taste was okay, and it has a strong soybean fragrance.

Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi also took a sip from the bowl: "It's delicious!"

Shi Qingluo asked the two of them to take out the remaining soy milk for Mrs. Kong and the others to drink.

Then start using the brine to make tofu.

Chapter 19: I will protect you from now on

April 11, 2023Ai Hrist

After it became soft tofu, Shi Qingluo scooped up a few more bowls.

She looked at Xiao Hanzheng and said: "Do you like sweet food or salty food?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied: "Salty."

He doesn't like sweets very much.

Shi Qingluo chuckled lightly and said, "Then we have the same taste."

At this time, the chili hadn't been introduced to Daliang, so she couldn't put it if she wanted to.

Thinking inside her heart, she must find a way to plant the chili seeds in an open and upright manner.

"What about you?" She asked Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.

Both chose sweet.

Sugar was expensive now, and the two of them never ate it in the main house. After the separation, their elder brother bought it, and they fell in love with it.

There was soy sauce and salt at home. Shi Qingluo fried some soybeans just now, scooped some, and sprinkled them on the two bowls of tofu jelly served with sauce.

Then brought a bowl to Xiao Hanzheng: "Come on, Brother Zheng!"

Xiao Hanzheng took the bowl, but raised an eyebrow: "Brother Zheng?"

Shi Qingluo blurted out of nowhere, so she explained: "You are older than me, isn't it right to call you Brother Zheng?"

She blinked at Xiao Hanzheng, and her voice was soft on purpose: "Could it be possible I'm not allowed to call you Brother Zheng?"

Xiao Hanzheng laughed: "As long as you are happy, I don't mind."

Brother Zheng seems to be closer.

Shi Qingluo rubbed her hands: "You don't mind, but I do, I had goosebumps all over my body."

It was okay to make a joke, but to call him Brother Zheng sweetly every day? Just thinking about it, she had goosebumps.

Mainly she was not such a sweet-mouthed girl, otherwise, it was fine.

Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw their sister-in-law like this.

Xiao Hanzheng asked the two little ones to take out the tofu brains for his mother to taste.

He waited until the two leave the kitchen.

Then he looked at the lively Shi Qingluo, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger: "Actually, you can also call me my husband."

Yesterday, Shi Qingluo's first impression of him was too deep.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons, her eyes were clear, and she raised her hand to greet him: "Hello, my husband!"

It made him dumbfounded at the time, but also made him remember the first time he saw her.

Shi Qingluo looked at him with a smile, and her tone was deliberately protracted and teasing, "So you like it when I call you my husband!"

She didn't expect this guy to look so serious, but bored in life?

When Xiao Hanzheng met his little wife, she didn't know what it was to be shy.

He looked at her with a strange look, as if she were such a person.

He said with a dumbfounded expression: "We are husband and wife, you call me husband, I call you wife, isn't this a normal address?"

Shi Qinglou raised an eyebrow: "But we're not that familiar yet."

Xiao Hanzheng said: "Marrying a wife is the order of the parents and the matchmaker. Before getting married, many men and women have never even met each other, let alone know each other."

"We got to know each other yesterday."

So it was okay for her to him 'my husband'.

When Shi Qingluo heard it, it seemed to make sense. In ancient times, marriages were done blindly. It was very good that she can choose by herself.

If she had to marry, and that man was not her type, she will cry.

But she was not entangled by Xiao Hanzheng.

"You and I are not blindly married, but I chose you on my initiative."

She walked up to Xiao Hanzheng, and looked up at him, with a domineering expression on her face, "So you are mine during the trial marriage stage."

"If you dare to have ulterior motives, I will break your legs first, and then divorce you."

She heard that Xiao Hanzheng was very popular before. The little girls in the village wanted to marry him, and many merchants in the county wanted to marry their daughters to him.

Shi Qingluo didn't care about those peach blossoms, but she doesn't allow him to have second thoughts during the trial marriage, that's how domineering she was.

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned for a moment he didn't expect Shi Qingluo to announce so domineeringly that he was hers, and he was not allowed to have ulterior motives.

After coming back to his senses, he leaned close to Shi Qingluo's ear, and asked with a chuckle: "Break my leg? Really?"

As for divorcing him, he ignored it.

This kind of thing will not happen, because he has confidence in himself, and it was impossible to have ulterior intentions.

Having such a difficult, lively, and domineering little wife was enough for him to have headaches and worries.

Xiao Hanzheng's exhaled breath sprayed on Shi Qingluo's ears, making her ears tingle and numb.

This person's voice was very pleasant to hear. Stepping again from her aesthetic point of view, which was annoying!

She slightly blushed, then pushed the person away: "Speak if you have something to say, but you don't need to get so close."

Then she stretched out her small fist and shook it, looked at him, and said solemnly: "Believe it or, if you dare to have ulterior motives, I will dare to break your leg."

Xiao Hanzheng saw that her face was dyed a layer of pink, and his mood became a little bit happier.

He smiled and said, "I believe, in order not to let you break my leg, I naturally dare not have ulterior motives."

Shi Qinglou rolled his eyes at him: "Wrong, it's not because you don't want me to break your leg, so you don't dare to have ulterior motives."

"It's that you have to be loyal to our marriage first. Don't forget that we are still on trial marriage."

She shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "Of course, if you have second thoughts, we'll divorce."

But it was still necessary to break his leg first.

Who asked Xiao Hanzheng to provoke her first, and agreed to try marriage together.

Xiao Hanzheng's smile faded a little, he didn't like her last sentence.

The little wife always mentions divorce. It seems that this kind of thought was not good.

He didn't dare to do it, but still follow her words and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I am loyal to our marriage, not because I am afraid that you will break your leg."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin, "It's not too bad."

She reached out and patted Xiao Hanzheng's shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as you are loyal, I will protect you in the future."

"Whoever bullies you, I will break his leg."

Her little husband's thin body, and gentle and elegant appearance, makes people want to bully him.

So as long as he was loyal, she will protect him.

When Xiao Hanzheng saw her clear and serious eyes, he shook his head.

This was the first time in his two lives that someone said 'I will protect you, and whoever bullies you, I will break his leg'.

His frozen heart melted again, and the corners of his lips raised: "Okay, I will rely on my wife to protect me from now on."

Shi Qingluo showed a big smile: "That's natural."

She then blinked at Xiao Hanzheng: "My husband, is the tofu jelly delicious?"

Xiao Hanzheng took a spoonful and tasted it, "It's fresh and tender, not bad."

Shi Qinglou smiled triumphantly and said: "As expected."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and cheered, "My wife is amazing."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin proudly: "That's right."

She heard from her best friend that a man who knows how to praise his wife and recognize the achievements of his wife's labor was not bad. So Xiao Hanzheng was not bad.

Seeing her smug little appearance, the smile in his eyes grew stronger again.

Not long after, Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi returned to the kitchen.

Xiao Baili said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, mother praises the tofu jelly you make. She said its delicious."

"Me and Yi'er like it too.

Because it took a long time to make tofu, the other villager's aunts went home to work first and came back later.

Shi Qinglou tried to be more modest in front of Xiao Baili: "It's good as long as you like it."

"Come on, let's continue making tofu."

Then she took Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi to squeeze the damp cloth again.

Chapter 20: There is a problem with the medicine

April 12, 2023Ai Hrist

After the tofu was ready, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Hanyi to call the aunts to the house and asked Xiao Baili to fry a portion for everyone to taste.

There used to be an aunt who cooked and cleaned at home, so her cooking skills were not good.

Xiao Baili was very talented in cooking, but it was a pity that there was no place for her to display it at home.

Several people who came with Xiao Hanyi tasted it, and they all exclaimed that it was delicious.

Then Shi Qingluo alone gave them a piece to take home to eat and told them that it can be fried, or added to soup and stewed fish.

Mrs. Kong sent a few people out.

One person said with a smile: "You have overcome your hardships now. Not only Dalang woke up, but Dalang's wife is also so capable."

Mrs. Kong smiled and said, "Dalang's wife is really capable."

"Are you going to sell this tofu?" Another shrewd woman asked.

They have never seen this tofu before, and it tastes pretty good.

The cost of soybeans was not high, it will not be difficult to sell them.

Mrs. Kong shook her head, "I don't know, it depends on my daughter-in-law."

Several people: "…"

What's the point of you being a mother-in-law?

After seeing off a few people, Mrs. Kong returned to the yard.

It was almost time for dinner. Xiao Baili had already cooked rice, fried tofu, and cooked cabbage tofu soup under Shi Qingluo's command.

The family sat and ate together.

Xiao Hanzheng was still drinking the porridge and only tasted the tofu.

After being comatose for so long, he needs to eat a little bit, otherwise, it will easily hurt his stomach and feel uncomfortable.

He asked Shi Qingluo: "What do you want to do with this tofu?"

Shilou Qing replied: "Use it to make money."

"But it's too hard to make tofu every morning. I'm not going to sell it myself."

A lot of tofu should be made, but grinding the beans was already very hard. Also, it was not suitable for the old, weak, and disabled people of their families to sell.

Xiao Hanzheng asked: "Have you already thought about it?"

Shi Qingluo nodded: "I want to hire someone to make tofu, and then sell it to the people in the village at a low price of one penny per catty."

"They can sell tofu to the town or in other villages."

"This way we don't have to work so hard, and we can sell favor to the people in the village."

She continued: "We can do this in the name of repaying everyone for taking care of us."

"The prosperity of the world depends on profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world are for profit."

"As long as we can get the support of most people in the village and bind them with interests, we will have an advantage, whether it is against the main Xiao Family or the Wu family."

Shi Qingluo didn't forget that the Wu family was still a hidden crisis.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't expect Shi Qingluo to say such insightful words.

He doesn't know why, but he always felt that the Old Immortal Master who was addicted to alchemy can't teach a girl like Shi Qingluo.

He agreed: "You are very comprehensive, I think it is very good."

Just now, he was thinking about how he would handle selling tofu if it were him.

To his surprise, Shi Qingluo thought the same as him.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "Then it's decided."

"Anyway, there is an open space behind our dilapidated yard. In the past two days, we will invite someone to build a shed, and we will make tofu in it from now on."

"Then let's calculate the cost and see how to sell it for a catty."

She said again: "The villagers can exchange soybeans for tofu, or buy them with money. If we collect soybeans just by ourselves, it will be troublesome."

She was forcibly pulled and trained by her parents for several years before. They wanted her to become a businessman and inherit the company in the future. She still learned a lot of business experience at that time.

It was just a pity, both of them were deliberately fooled by her in the end. After learning that she applied for the agricultural science major at the National Agricultural University during the college entrance examination, they left her alone in anger.

Before she died, the two had given birth to a pair of twin brothers through test tubes.

She thought that when the two cultivated these young brothers, they will no longer go against her wishes as much as before. In the future, she may not need to inherit the company alone.

Xiao Hanzheng discovered that Shi Qingluo's mind was very useful, and she was also very talented in the business.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll go talk to the patriarch in a while, and ask him to help choose someone to make tofu."

After drinking Shi Qingluo's sugar water yesterday and this morning, and several times plain water, he felt much better. His body was not that weak anymore.

He has no problem walking for a while with a club.

Mrs. Kong smiled and listened to the two making their decisions without raising opinions or interfering.

She knew that she was not expected to be the head of the house, so she would let her daughter-in-law be the housekeeper.

After eating, Xiao Hanzheng took Xiao Hanyi to the patriarch's house and sent tofu to the patriarch and elders at the same time.

The patriarch asked his daughter-in-law to fry tofu on the spot.

He found that the taste was wonderful, and it can be sold.

In addition to being happy that Xiao Hanzheng's family will have such a survival skill in the future, he was also very pleased that the young couple can think of repaying for the care of the village.

This also proved that they were not mistaken.

So he took the initiative to take over the matter of helping to recruit people. He knew best who were hardworking and reliable people in the village.

After Xiao Hanzheng thanked him, he took Xiao Hanyi home.

After returning home, Xiao Baili brought a bowl of medicine.

"Brother, drink your medicine."

At this time, Shi Qingluo also came out after taking a nap.

She asked casually, "Aren't you feeling better? Why are you still taking medicine?"

Mrs. Kong's mother said: "This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the town for Dalang to nourish his body."

"The doctor said that although he woke up without a fever, he had hurt his body before, so he needed to drink some medicine to strengthen the body."

Shi Qingluo didn't understand medicine, "So that's how it is."

Xiao Hanzheng looked at the medicine in the bowl, and a bit of anger grew in his calm eyes, and his whole person seemed to have a layer of anger.

Shi Qingluo sensed it and looked at him inexplicably.

Did this medicine mess with him?

Finding that Shi Qingluo was looking at him inexplicably, Xiao Hanzheng was taken aback for a moment and then restrained his hostility.

His little wife seems to be very sensitive!

He took a sip of the medicine and quickly spit it out on the veil.

Seeing this, Mrs. Kong also felt that something was wrong with him: "Zheng'er, is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Xiao Hanzheng put down the medicine bowl and nodded, "Well, drinking this medicine will not only fail to strengthen the foundation but will also make my body weaker."

"If you drink for a long time, you will become a sick child."

Mrs. Kong's eyes widened, "How could this be?"

Shi Qingluo was also a little confused and was even more surprised that Xiao Hanzheng knew how to taste the medicine.

But it was just right, after all, he was full of anger before he drank the medicine.

Xiao Hanzheng asked Mrs. Kong: "Mother when I was in a coma, were the dregs of the medicine you boiled still there?"

Mrs. Kong nodded: "It's still there, I throw it all in the backyard."

"I'll go and have a look." Xiao Hanzheng got up.

Several people also went to the backyard together.

Shi Qingluo saw Xiao Hanzheng's hand moving back and forth with the medicine residue and found two medicines from it.

He looked very familiar with medicine.

He stood up and looked at Mrs. Kong and the others and said, "I've been suffering from high fever repeatedly before, and it was caused by the conflict between these two medicines."

This was also what he accidentally discovered after waking up in his previous life.

In order not to be taken disadvantaged in this respect, and to take revenge, he studied medicine.

Just sipping a bit, he can tell what was the problem with the medicine just now.

Mrs. Kong looked in disbelief, "You mean, the doctor in the town deliberately harmed you?"

She believed what her son said.

What she couldn't believe was that the doctor wanted to kill her son: "We have no grievances with him, why did he want to kill you?"
