This sentence finally worked. The man stopped farming and turned back to look at Mrs. Rong.

Mrs. Rong secretly snorted, thinking, as expected of a poor man.

The man paused for a moment as if he was considering something. However, the time was relatively shorter. After a moment, he slowly walked over. One step at a time, perhaps because he was walking in the paddy fields, but his pace was extremely slow. It was as if he was afraid of disturbing the young grass.

Mrs. Rong had long since been unable to endure the scorching sun, the sweat on her forehead congregated into large droplets that dripped down his face. His normally well-cared for and fair face also revealed an unnatural flush due to the scorching weather.

This poor bastard, how could he be so slow even with such a good thing?

The Mrs. Rong said straightforwardly: "The nineteenth day of this month is a auspicious day for marriage. Prepare well, on the day of welcoming the new bride, there is no need for you to prepare for the bridal sedan chair or anything else, just as long as you are here." Just as she was about to rush back into the carriage, the man suddenly opened her mouth.

"Alright."

Hey! This man's reaction was really slow, he couldn't be a fool, right? It was better to be a fool.

Mrs. Rong was too lazy to deal with the man on the carriage so he just waved his hand and got on.

Mrs. Rong lifted the pearl curtain from the carriage door and warned the man, "August 19th is a lucky day, don't forget about it." Just as he was about to put it down, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "It's best not to let her come back after three days."

The man paused for a moment. His eyebrows slightly raised under the hood. He paused for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Alright." The reply was straightforward and straightforward. The tone of his voice could be said to be extremely casual, as if he had just said some trivial words and not something as important as marriage and marriage. On August 19th, people recovered from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of mooncakes. A burst of firecrackers sounded, crackling as if they were announcing something.

The surrounding people of the Loyal Marquis Mansion were all attracted by the joyous scene. Some poor people took their food and ran in the direction of the front door of the Loyal Marquis Mansion. According to common sense, these large families would send out some wedding cakes on a day of great celebration. He would only be able to get more when he arrived early. He heard that the two daughters of the Loyal Marquis were going to be married at the same time, so he wondered if there were two of them as well.

Within the Hou Mansion, other than the male servants of the maid who were extremely busy, confused, and inexplicably excited about the wedding, in the largest kitchen of the manor, a few slightly idle servants were discussing the wedding that would cause the entire capital to become lively one after another.

"Aunt, do you know what kind of family Eldest Miss's fiance is?" An older woman asked while busy with her work. She didn't forget to pull a lady named Wang who was still whispering to others.

When Lady Wang heard this, she turned to look at the young woman. It was Grandma Li, who was a bit younger than her. The two of them often chatted with each other.

This old woman's surname was Wang, and everyone in the house called her Old Lady Wang. Because she was old and her sons were filial, she lived a very leisurely life in the Hou Mansion, even on such a happy day in the mansion.

After a long while, she finally said: "It is said that he is a rich farmer's family. I don't know about the details, I only know that the rich farmer's house is quite far from the capital, and that young miss will first settle down in a tavern in the city when she marries. She will only be returning home tomorrow to complete the wedding ceremony."

"Eh?" Grandma Li's eyes were wide open in surprise, so she didn't say anything for a moment.

Old Lady Wang continued, "Actually, this isn't a rare occurrence, but according to the Loyal Marquis's Madam's simple character, I keep feeling that something is amiss. Marrying such a distant family is like wanting her to never come back."

Grandma Li had long since recovered from her shock. Now that she heard what Lady Wang said, her expression also became serious. She lightly sighed and nodded. "Perhaps it really was like that." Pausing for a moment, she continued, "It's better that it's far. The eldest miss can at least be excused from being scolded by the mistress, afraid that she might marry into an unvirtuous family. With her gentle and charming personality, what would happen if she suffers and doesn't even have a family that can help her?"

"What you say makes sense, but even if we get married soon and Eldest Miss suffers from anger in her family, there is no one on her family's side that she can rely on. After all …" The First Young Master will be ten years old, and he's still young. " With that, Old Lady Wang rolled her eyes and smiled. "Actually, perhaps our worries are unnecessary. It's not like you don't know, Young Lady Li is not someone who can be manipulated by others."

Recalling the miserable appearance of that arrogant and despotic servant woman a few years ago, who was usually silenced by the eldest young miss, Grandma Li smiled as if she understood what she meant.

However …

"Hey, you shameless old man. What are you crying about on such a joyous day?" Old Lady Wang teased him.

"You're still talking about me? Your eyes are already red, but I saw you secretly wipe your tears away." Grandma Li gave her a glance.

Old Lady Wang was not angry at all at being exposed, she only said: "Today is Young Miss's wedding day, we must think of a few good things, maybe it can be fulfilled," after saying that, she turned her head to look in the direction of Yun Qiu's room, her expression somewhat baffled: "Grandma Li, Eldest Young Miss has gotten married today … …"

"Yeah, from now on, you don't have a caring daughter, Big Aunt." Grandma Li continued.

Yun Qiu was not like the other young misses, who only knew how to read and write poems, and only talked about zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was like the daughter of an ordinary farmer who liked to cook for herself, and was not afraid of oil or smoke.

Old Lady Wang was the son of a family, and her husband was also the head servant of the family. He only had a few sons and no daughters. Although his daughter-in-law was half a girl, they were separated by a son, so it was impossible for them to get along.

Therefore, upon encountering such a clever and obedient young lady and seeing that she could not help but lose her dignity as a master, she became so sensible at such a young age, like a little adult, making others fall in love with her. He openly and secretly protected Yun Qiu, treating her like her own daughter and doted on her. No matter how nice the food was, he would secretly give it to her to satisfy her cravings, and he also taught her all the good culinary arts he had learned. Yun Qiu also treated her like her mother. When she grew up, she had become more or less intimidating when she was with her servants, which was why she often helped Grandma Wang and her family.

The two of them had a deep relationship.
