The Beauty in the Peasant Family - C238

Inside the warm room, the red candles flickered, and the tent hung low. There seemed to be whispers and conversations, mandarin ducks wrapped around the neck, brocade covered with red waves. After an unknown period of time, the rain stopped, and the clouds gathered.

It was day, and the snow had stopped. It was only a few hours later when a blinding light pierced through the window and shone through the veil.

Qin Wuya lifted the curtain, slightly ruffled her loose hair, and then lightly patted her cheeks, causing the expression in her eyes to brighten a little before calling Fu Xi in.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Fu Xi rolled up his hair into a bun for Qin Wuya. Then, he used the two red jade clouds that Zhang Shan found for her a few days ago to hold on to his hair.

“Madam, it’s cold today, and the snow in the courtyard has yet to be swept away. Why don’t we just walk along the corridor?” Fu Xi was worried.

Qin Wuya glanced inside the courtyard at the snow that was as tall as her calves, and laughed: “It’s alright, it was hard to walk when melting snow, but you’re not afraid of anything now.”

Qin Wuya continued:

“Go and bring me two pairs of suede boots from the back of the hall. We’ll put them on each of us, so we won’t need to worry about the snow soaking our shoes and socks.”

“Madam, why don’t we go see the madame again in a few days?”

Fu Xi was still a little worried, and although he tried to persuade his in a low voice, Qin Wuya did not mind and said:

“Why don’t you take a look at my body? If I don’t walk now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out in two months.”

“Then Fu Xi will go and get it right away, it is better for Lady Feng Han to return to her room to wait for a servant.” With that, Fu Xi made a gesture to carry Qin Wuya back into the house.

Qin Wuya waved her hand: “The house is always burning with charcoal, although warm, but at the end of the day, it’s still stuffy. It’s rare for me to come out to take a breather, so I’ll be able to take care of you here.”

“Then this servant will go quickly and return.”

Fu Xi was still as honest as before, upon seeing that he was unable to persuade Qin Wuya twice, he did not dare speak anymore, and quickly ran to the room behind the hall, which was specially used to store boots and umbrella.

Qin Wuya frowned slightly, she did not know where this girl learned this rule from, but she always liked to call herself a servant in front of him these past two months.

Of the two girls, Fu Zhi was still young and could stay for a few more years. Qin Wuya did not pay much attention to them, but she was not young anymore.

Although Qin Wuya used to be a little anxious when talking about marriage with a fourteen or fifteen year old girl, when it came to the rules of the imperial court, since one couldn’t change it, one could only follow the customs of the land. There was no need to waste their age, just because they were stubborn didn’t mean that it was better for them to seek marriage.

As a result, although Qin Wuya held onto the indentations of Fu Xi and Fu Zhi, he had never treated the two girls as slaves, nor had he allowed them to call themselves servants. She only wanted to wait until she was old enough to look for marriage and give them the indentations so that they could marry each other into her husband’s family.

Fu Xi was fourteen this year, and the best age for a Grand Dynasty woman to marry was between fourteen and eighteen. Therefore, Qin Wuya only planned to keep Fu Xi here for two years, and let her look for a marriage when she turned sixteen.

He didn’t expect that this girl would say that he sold himself as a slave and called him a servant according to the rules. Even though he promised her a free life in the future, she didn’t have any intentions of changing her words.

Forget it, let her be.

Qin Wuya thought, it was just a title, there was nothing to correct.

Not long later, Fu Xi returned with two sets of boots. The boots were made of a few layers of thick suede leather, and were specially made to fit Qin Wuya’s instructions. They were made to fit within a few yards of each other, so they didn’t need to take off their cloth shoes.

They put on their boots and walked through the snow. They went around the side corridor and headed towards the side door.

After Qin Wuya became pregnant, a carriage wrapped in soft cloth was prepared at the side of the door, making it convenient for Qin Wuya to travel.

Seeing that his body was getting rounder and rounder, Qin Wuya thought that if he were to continue being this fat, he would definitely suffer, so he decided to just abandon the carriage and allowed Fu Xi to carry him to Zhenxi’s house.

Qin Wuya could not be considered late, but it was obvious that the people from the Shangguan Family had woken up even earlier. Just by stepping out of the narrow alleyway and entering the main street, Qin Wuya could see that the snow in the middle of the street had long been swept to both sides.

Although the streets were still wet, but because they had been described, they did not have much ice, which was much easier than what Qin Wuya had expected. Even Fu Xi heaved a sigh of relief.

Although it was still early in the month, many of the villagers who went out to do their work were in a hurry to return one after another. Thus, even though there had been two consecutive snowfall, there were still a lot of people coming and going to buy New Year’s goods on the streets of the town.

Fu Xi supported Qin Wuya as they walked along a small path, passing a grocery store that weighed two kilograms of all kinds of dried fruits. There was one that picked a drum for the children of Zhang family before they leisurely walked towards Qin Residence.

Madam Lin had previously injured her leg and even though she was healed using the medicine that Qin Wuya and the doctor she invited over from time to time, she was still sick and could not walk much. In the winter, it was even difficult to leave her house.

After several days of continuous snow, afraid that Madam Lin’s legs would suffer again, when they reached the first pharmacy, they went in to buy more ointments. As for the woolen fur used to protect the knees, Madam Wei had already rushed it out a few days ago.

The door that was opened in the nick of time was initially less than an hour old, but because Qin Wuya and Fu Xi were walking around, it took them until the end of the morning to walk to Zhenxi.

“What’s wrong with my mother now?”

The moment Qin Wuya entered the courtyard, the Madam Lin sat under the locust tree in front of the house in a daze, the snow in the courtyard had not been swept away, and the clothes that the Madam Lin was wearing was not too thick either. She moved a wooden stool over and sat on the snow, looking weird no matter how she looked at it.

Qin Wuya saw that Madam Lin’s face was filled with tears, and she did not even bother to enter the door herself, feeling that it was strange.

“What happened?”

“Yes …” “Yes …” Zhang Shi’s expression changed again and again, as if it was difficult for her to open her mouth. After a long time, she said, “It’s Fourth Miss’s matter.”

“Fourth Miss?” Qin Wuya was stunned for a moment, then instantly remembered that before she transmigrated, he had a fourth sister who had already been troubled, Qin Siya.

“Are you talking about my Sister Four? Did you see her?”

Qin Wuya frowned, she pulled Zhang Shi and entered a side room, dodging the Madam Lin’s line of sight, and sent Fu Xi out to guard.

“Sister-in-law, don’t lie to me.”

“It’s your Fourth Sister.”

A few days ago, Mom and I went to the town to buy New Year’s Eve food and saw your Sis. ”

After saying this, Mrs. Zhang paused for a moment. “It’s in front of a pickled store.”

“Did sister-in-law take a good look?” Qin Wuya was slightly shocked in her heart.

“Actually, when I entered the restaurant late at night, I’ve never seen the Fourth Miss before. It was mother who recognized her. His mother had been stunned as she stared at a yellow-robed girl for a long time. When the girl and her maidservants had left, his mother was still standing there in a daze.

I thought it was strange, so I asked Mother if she had seen anyone she knew.

But Mother didn’t say anything, nor did she follow me. Just like that, she just stood there with her eyes reddened. When I reached behind her to support her hand, I discovered that she was trembling.

Later … “Later …”

“What happened next?” Seeing that Zhang Shi had suddenly stopped talking at such a critical time, Qin Wuya became anxious and his voice became louder.

The Zhang Clan’s complexion was somewhat unsightly. Gritting their teeth, they finally said:

“Later on, I secretly inquired about the identity of the yellow-dressed lady from a shop assistant and found out that she was actually a young lady from Spring Lounge called Qiu Rong.”

Qiu Rong!

It was no wonder that the Zhang Family did not see Qin Siya after entering the door, but only asked him a few questions to find out why Madam Lin was panicking so much.

Qin Wuya’s face turned cold. Although she only knew about the matters of the Qin family, but Qin Wuya had heard a lot of gossip about their family.

The fact that Wang Gui’s beast used ten taels of silver to ruin his sister-in-law’s life was spread throughout the entire village. Most of the people in the village knew that the four evil spirits of the Qin family had been sold to the red house by their husbands, becoming a female prostitute with a pair of jade arms and a few red lips.

“Sister Four, she …” Are you okay? ”

Qin Wuya’s throat was a little hoarse. Actually, she was not familiar with her, Fourth Sister, who was connected by bloodline.

It had only been a year and a half since Qin Wuya last wore anything, yet she had never seen two sisters who had already been sent out to sell by Lady Wang and Old Man Qin. Even the matters between the two of them could only be vaguely understood by the people in the village.

But even then, Qin Wuya only felt sympathy towards the two older sisters’ plight, and did not feel much towards the two of them.

Maybe even more often, Qin Wuya would subconsciously think of herself as the reincarnated Qin Xiao Wu, and not the Qin family’s daughter Qin Wuya. Qin Wuya had basically taken him out from the Qin family himself.

Even helping the Madam Lin and Qin Dashan was just helping an ordinary person when things came to an end.

Perhaps it was because he had taken over the body of the deceased original owner that he wanted to repay her.

But when it came to family love, how much could it be?

“She’s still alright. I only took a few glances and saw that she had a very fair and clean complexion. She was very delicate and refined, just that she was somewhat thin.” If I hadn’t asked for her name, I wouldn’t have been able to think that she would make me my sister-in-law. He does not look like someone from Country girl at all. ” Zhang Shi said.

If it wasn’t for her good looks, how could she have been sold to a pigeonhole?

Hearing that, Qin Wuya laughed bitterly, thinking that if Qin Siya’s appearance was uglier, perhaps even if she was sold away, she would still be a little girl, how could she have entered such a dirty realm.

“Did she see you?” Thinking for a while, Qin Wuya asked.

“I don’t think so.” Zhang Shi shook her head, then forced a smile:

“It is likely that even if you saw it, you wouldn’t necessarily recognize it. “Or maybe …”

Or perhaps even if he recognized her, what could he do about it? Would he even be able to recognize her? It’s just a double whammy.

Mrs Zhang did not finish her sentence, but Qin Wuya had already understood.

The two of them were silent for a long time, only then did Qin Wuya invite Fu Xi into the house, and passed everything she sold along the way to Lady Zhang before saying:

“Sister-in-law, please persuade Mother. Tell her that I know about Fourth Sister’s matter and let her be at ease. I will think of a way.”

Hearing Qin Wuya’s words, Zhang Shi knew that she was leaving and quickly said:

“Sister, aren’t you staying for a meal?”

“Forget it.” I don’t have much of a mind to see you like this, Mother. I’m really sorry for troubling you, sister-in-law. I’ll come back in a few days. ” Qin Wuya pursed his lips and laughed helplessly.

Zhang Shi’s gaze fell on Madam Lin, who was still sitting blankly under the locust tree, outside the window. Sighing slightly, she pulled Qin Wuya’s hand and said:

“Your brother is useless, but this large family has truly implicated you. It’s hard for Young Master to be so magnanimous. Otherwise, with such a family, it would be hard to know how much sadness you’ll have in your days. ”

“It’s fine.” Qin Wuya laughed. She didn’t say anything else.

She was not a person who would make things difficult for herself. If she did not know that Zhang Shan would not mind about all these, and if it were anyone else, she might not necessarily want to marry someone else.

Zhang Shi sent Qin Wuya and Fu Xi out the door, and after praising them, Qin Wuya turned around to look at Madam Lin, who seemed to have instantly become much more desolate.

Take this silver note and go to the Spring Lounge to find a lady named Qiu Rong. Ask her about the price to buy it.

After returning to the Chao Chung Hall, Qin Wuya sent Fu Xi to call Xu San over.

If it was the past when she was a girl, she would definitely want to run over by herself. But today, she was pregnant and wanted to go to a place like that.

Qin Wuya did not know that Zhang Shan did not care about these reputation, there were only some things that could clearly be avoided, but why must they challenge and declare war, could it be that it was just to prove that he was different from the people of this era?

Qin Wuya was a practical person, she was too lazy to do such a thankless task.

However, with the servants by Qin Wuya’s side, it would naturally not be good for them to head to that place. After thinking about it for awhile, it would only allow Xu San to go out.

Fortunately, although Xu San was a bit slick, he didn’t need to worry about what would happen outside.

As expected, Xu San did not ask for the reason behind the banknotes and just asked, “What name does Madam want to use?”

“Just say that your master has taken a fancy to Miss Qiu Rong and wants to redeem himself.”

Qin Wuya didn’t think that they would come up with an excuse, so she thought about the scenes she watched on TV in the past and randomly made up a story.

Unexpectedly, Xu San’s expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Isn’t my old master the head of the household?

It was rare for his boss to find a girl outside and be discovered by the Madam? But why did the Madam redeem him?

Could it be …

Madame was too generous.
