C162 Stay Overnight

The sky was dark, and three black shadows appeared at the entrance of the quiet village. Big Yellow, who had recently become a family member, was barking at the three of them.

Yu Longchen straightened his face, and Big Yellow let out a few whimpers. He put down his ears and put his tail between his legs, then obediently circled around the village twice before lying down on the ground.

"Do you know about the families here?" Yu Longchen had never used the honorific 'you' to address this old man, because he didn't believe the old man.

The old man shook his head. "I have not been involved in the affairs of the world for many years. How would I know?"

"Then let's ask this family." Yu Longchen turned his head to the family that had Big Yellow.

"Put me down. I don't want to..."

"Hurry up and put me down. No matter how lovey-dovey you are, you have to end up in your own territory." The old man took Mu Ruqing's words and shook his head unhappily at Yu Longchen. It is good to be young. You can still show off your affection everywhere. When I was young, I was so much more handsome than you. While thinking, he put his hands behind his back and walked forward to knock on the door.

The door opened slightly and only her face could be seen. The one who opened the door was a woman with her back facing the candlelight. It was difficult to see her expression clearly. Her voice was neither cold nor warm: "Who are you?"

"Hello, Aunty. We are businessmen who have been on the road. We met robbers on the way yesterday. All our money was stolen, and we tried our best to escape. We were even injured, so I hope you'll let us stay here for the night. " Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen walked over. It was most appropriate to ask Mu Ruqing to come over. After all, she smiled so sweetly that no one could bear to reject her.

The woman hesitated for a moment. Seeing that they did not look like bad people, she moved her thoughts and opened the door. She laughed heartily and said, "No problem, no problem. Quickly come in."

"Thank you, Aunt."

"Thank you."

The three of them thanked her and entered the woman's home. The woman's house was built with mud, and other than ordinary objects, there were no other decorations.

The woman brought over a few stools and wiped her hands on her waist. There was an embarrassed smile on her dark yellow face. "There is nothing good in the house. I have let you see it. Are you used to it?"

"Aunt, what are you talking about? We are the ones who have troubled you. How dare you bother me? " Mu Ruqing's smile was indeed harmless, killing both young and old.

When Mu Ruqing said this, the woman was happy in her heart. She also narrowed her eyes and sat down. "You are not locals, right? I have seen all the merchant caravans that passed by from the village. You all look unfamiliar."

"Aunt is right. This is also the first time that we have walked on this road since we are not locals. I didn't expect to meet a robber, who robbed me and my husband's money. " When the woman asked about the background of these people, Mu Ruqing would naturally 'tell' her.

"Then..." The woman looked at the old man and after asking a single word, Mu Ruqing knew what she meant.

"He saved us." Yu Longchen opened his mouth and revealed a rare smile.

The woman looked at Yu Longchen's handsome face, but her face was cold. She did not dare to speak to him. She did not expect him to answer by himself. She could not help but be happy. "Are you hungry? My man went out. I will let my daughter cook for you."

"Then thank you, aunt. We will definitely repay you in the future." Mu Ruqing was never modest. She should eat and sleep. As long as she was indebted to her, she would repay him. She was thinking of asking Changxu to give them some silver when she returned.

"Mother." The voice was crisp and clear. A delicate and pretty girl lifted a corner of the curtain from the inside and walked out. When she saw the three people in the room, her expression was stunned.

"Oh, they're only here to stay for one night. They'll leave tomorrow." The woman stood up and looked at the woman to make arrangements. "Yanyan, you make some food. The guest is a guest."

Mu Ruqing took a closer look at Yanyan. Her appearance was handsome and her pair of big watery eyes were somewhat similar to hers. She politely smiled and nodded at her.

When Yanyan's eyes turned to Yu Longchen, she could not move them away. Yu Longchen just politely nodded and her face turned red. She lowered her head and walked to the side of the kitchen. Finally, she looked back at Yu Longchen and smiled.

But Yu Longchen's eyes were on Mu Ruqing. He did not see it but Mu Ruqing saw it clearly. She rolled her eyes at Yu Longchen and turned her head to ignore him.

Yu Longchen was a little confused. He wanted to hold Mu Ruqing's hand but was interrupted by the woman. "That is my daughter Yanyan. Her age might not be much different from the two of you."

"Yanyan is very beautiful. Those who want to marry her will probably line up from the front of the aunt's house to the end of the village." Mu Ruqing praised Yanyan to the woman.

If one wanted to praise someone, he had to praise her from the bottom of his heart. As expected, the woman could not close her mouth when she heard it. She was very happy with her daughter. It was indeed as Mu Ruqing had said. There were many people who wanted to marry Yanyan, but the family could not see the village folk. They only wanted Yanyan to marry into a good family and find a good place to go. That was why they had not decided on a marriage yet.

"It really is..."

The woman kept talking about the past. It was all about how outstanding Yanyan was...

"Mother, it's done." Yanyan lifted a corner of the curtain and revealed her head. When she saw Yu Longchen, she immediately lowered her head with a red face and a shy look.

"Everyone, let's eat first." The woman led the three of them to the kitchen.

~ This family was indeed very poor, and it was very appropriate to describe it as a family of four walls.

"It's all simple rice and tea, I hope you won't mind." The woman didn't accompany them as they sat down, and only stood at the side and greeted them.

"It's very delicious. The little girl's cooking is not bad." The old man praised while eating. He kept saying while stuffing vegetables into his mouth.

Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen looked at each other and smiled. They quickly nodded. Yu Longchen's smile made Yanyan even more infatuated. Her face was so red that it reached the end of her neck. She lowered her head and went out. Seeing this, the woman also followed him to the front of the hall.

"How is it?" The woman went up and pulled Yanyan's sleeve and asked. "He said he is a businessman. Just by looking at his noble aura, I know he is from a wealthy family. If my good daughter finds such a family, that would be a good day. "

"Mother." Yanyan was so embarrassed that she stomped her feet and covered her face with both hands, unable to speak.

"Let me tell you, that is a married couple, a good and talented woman... Tsk tsk... "

Yanyan listened to the woman's words and her face slowly collapsed. She no longer had the shy look from before.

" Listen to your mother, right? How can those in the village be worthy of you? Even if my daughter wants to marry, she still wants to marry into a wealthy family." The woman proudly crossed her hands and looked up at the sky. "Mother asks you, do you like him?"

"Yes." Yanyan was no longer shy. This man's appearance and aura, all the men she had seen, added up, were not even half of his. He was also a businessman, so his family must be wealthy, so naturally she would fall in love with him.

"As expected of mother's obedient daughter, her taste is not bad." The woman laughed a few times, "Alright, don't be meddlesome. They are leaving tomorrow. My mother will leave them behind. If she wants to leave, she will wait until my daughter becomes his woman before leaving in glory. "

" Yes, yes. " Yanyan answered very quickly and hesitated again, "But that girl... looks better than me..."

"Sigh, my daughter can't be compared to anyone!" The woman raised her eyebrows and her voice became a little louder, "Alright, you are ready to be Mrs. Fu." After the woman finished speaking, she tidied her clothes and hat and walked into the kitchen.

Yanyan was still thinking. She felt that she could not compare to his wife, but she was not willing to give up. If she did not fight, who knew?
