After a long day of work, Luo Qiuyun made some simple food for dinner before taking the two boys to wash up and sleep.

The next day, Luo Qiuyun got up and heard someone from afar discussing that it was the Wei day of the west market of the village. The people from all the surrounding villages would all come to the market, it was especially lively, thinking that she had just moved into a new house, although there were furniture and all the other things there, but there were a few other things that she lacked and wanted to take a look at.

Luo Qiuyun had originally planned to check out the situation herself. Who knew that the moment she left the house, Xiao Xiang would look at her with a pitiful expression, which Luo Qiuyun couldn't ignore even if she wanted to.

"Little Xiang, be good. I'm going to the market to buy some stuff and I'll be back soon. Can you be at home with Brother Tianli?" Luo Qiuyun whispered to the other side.

"No, mother …" "No, mother, wuu …" When the brat heard that Luo Qiuyun really didn't want to bring him along, he immediately cried in grief.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Be good, Little Xiang is good!" Luo Qiuyun had a helpless expression as she walked over and consoled him.

Perhaps it was because Luo Tianxiang's life was bumpy, but every time Luo Qiuyun thought of the scene when she found Luo Tianxiang, her heart would soften a little when she faced him. This was also the key to the success of a child acting coquettishly every time they acted coquettishly.

"Mother, hug, hug, let's go together …" When Luo Tianxiang saw Luo Qiuyun walk over, he opened his arms and was about to jump into her arms.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qiuyun could only carry the two of them in her arms. In the end, she compromised and left with the two of them.

Even though Zhang Xuan wasn't familiar with the surroundings after arriving at the village, he would be able to find his destination very soon by following the flow of people.

The so-called market was actually a place where hawkers sold their wares on a piece of empty mud. The nearby villagers came to buy their wares, and since there were quite a few people, it looked rather lively.

Luo Qiuyun took the two little girls for a walk and found that there were a lot of different types of items for sale. They could buy all the daily necessities, so she had a rough idea. However, she was in no hurry to squeeze in. It was still early in the morning and still a long way to the time of San Wei.

Coincidentally, there was a noodle stall in front of them. The business looked pretty good, and the tables that were temporarily set up were all full. Besides, a few of the surrounding stall owners also bought some noodles and brought them back to their stall to eat.

"Xiao Xiang, Tianli, are you hungry? Let's go eat some noodles as well. " Lili held the child in her arms and gestured for Luo Tianli to follow.

"Sis, I want a big bowl, add the meat together." When Luo Tianli heard Luo Qiuyun call him to go eat noodles, he made a request without a trace of politeness.

Luo Qiuyun nodded, indicating that she understood. She then asked Luo Tianxiang who was in her arms, "What does Little Xiang want to eat?"

"Mother, I want a small bowl, no meat." The reason why Luo Tianxiang said this was not because he wanted to oppose Luo Tianli, but because he himself did not like to eat meat. He did not know whether what happened earlier had left a shadow in his heart, but ever since he followed the Wu siblings, the children had not eaten much meat.

"Fine, Little Xiang said he won't add meat." Luo Qiuyun sighed softly as she finished speaking, one hand stroking the other party's small head. It was unknown what she was thinking.

The three of them walked up to the stall owner and Luo Qiuyun asked, "Auntie, how much is this for?"

"A bowl of plain noodles cost two pieces of silver, and a bowl of meat cost three pieces of meat cost four pieces of rice. Do you want this young lady?" The stall owner replied as he did the work in her hands. He grabbed a handful of noodles and poured them into the wok without even raising his head.

"Give me two bowls of plain noodles and one big bowl of meat." As Luo Qiuyun finished her sentence, someone finished their meal and was about to leave. At that time, Luo Tianli brought Luo Tianxiang to take their place.

"Three bowls of noodles, two dishes and a piece of meat. Okay, miss, please wait a moment."

"Yes, aunty and my brother and sister are sitting over there." Luo Qiuyun pointed at where Luo Tianli sat.

The stall owner looked up and nodded, "Okay, the girl will go over first. I'll send the noodles over to you later."

"Alright, I'll be troubling Auntie." Luo Qiuyun thanked him and turned around to walk to the seat for the kids.

Not long after, the noodles were served. There were two small bowls of plain noodles, one for Luo Qiuyun and one for Luo Tianxiang, the other for Luo Tianli.

The three of them started to eat in silence. Luo Tianli was enjoying his food, while Luo Qiuyun was eating the fastest to fill her stomach. It was unknown if it was due to the habit of eating in her previous life.

In the end, only Luo Tianxiang was left. The kid was only two or three years old, so he wasn't proficient in using chopsticks, so he couldn't eat this side of his mouth. Luo Qiuyun only realized this after she had eaten her fill, so she couldn't help cursing herself for being careless.

"Little Xiang, can't you eat noodles?" Luo Qiuyun asked.

"Mother." Luo Tianxiang used his chopsticks to stir things up for a long time, but he was still unable to do it. His big eyes had a trace of grievance in them, as if he was replying to Luo Qiuyun saying that he didn't know how to eat noodles.

"Hehe, mother will help you." Luo Qiuyun carried the child to him and sat him down on her lap. Then she brought the bowl of noodles to him and fed him patiently.

"Mother." Luo Tianxiang shouted again. His tone became more cheerful than before. Then, he started to eat slowly along with Luo Qiuyun's act of feeding him with chopsticks.

"Delicious." Because Luo Qiuyun had fed it to him personally, Luo Tianxiang was happy and the noodles tasted good.

"If it's delicious, then hurry up and eat. Mom and Brother Tianli have finished eating." Luo Qiuyun said as she quickly fed another set of noodles to him.

Luo Tianxiang pointed at Luo Tianli and said, "Yes, uncle. Little uncle. Not brother."

"Alright, let uncle have some noodles." Luo Qiuyun didn't want to argue with him, so she replied in a perfunctory manner.

It was unknown since when the child seemed to care a lot about this form of address. No matter how many times she and Luo Tianli corrected it, in the end they still called her mother and called Luo Tianli uncle.

"Mother's younger brother is her uncle. Brother Xiaohu and Grandpa Chen all said the same thing." After saying that, Luo Tianxiang pretended to be confused as he looked at Luo Qiuyun.

If it was before, she would have already said that she wasn't her mother. But now, Luo Qiuyun didn't say anything and basically agreed to this identity. There were both advantages and disadvantages to this. After all, she wasn't really an ancient person.

If Luo Qiuyun didn't want to find someone to marry in the future and had a son by her side, no one would say anything. At most, she would live her life as a widow, but in the eyes of the ancients, a single word from her "mother" would ruin Luo Qiuyun's reputation. That was the main reason why Luo Tianli had always opposed Luo Tianxiang calling her mother.

After paying for the noodles, Luo Qiuyun took the two small ones to shop nearby. She bought a lot of food, food, and other things that she could use. Finally, she went to a stall that sold clay pots, squatted down, and picked up a bowl to have a look.

"Lady, how is it? This is porcelain, so buying it home to entertain our guests would be really impressive. " The stall owner explained to Luo Qiuyun with a smile.

Seeing that she did not say anything, he picked up another set of tea sets and observed them with a smile, "Lady's eyes are really good. This tea set is the best thing in this stall. This tea set is only worth fifty gold coins, it's a top grade purple clay pot."

"Heh heh, uncle, aren't you bragging a little too much? "Although this teapot is indeed a purple clay teapot, the word 'good' is not related to it at all." As Luo Qiuyun spoke, she pointed out two flawed purple clay pots. Only when she saw the ashamed look on the other party's face did she stop.

He thought for a moment and changed his tone: "However, although this purple sand pot is not a good item, but I can buy it here, but it is enough. It is just that 50 coins is a bit more expensive, and I, on the other hand, sincerely want to find you to buy it.

"Hehe, this lady has a saintly heart, I, Niu Da, will also repay you with a favor. Honestly speaking, this tea set's price is twenty-eight gold coins, I'll pay you two gold coins for it, thirty gold coins is a deal, what do you think?"

"Alright." Luo Qiuyun nodded.

The business deal was done, but she wasn't in a hurry to pay for it. Instead, she looked around the stall for dishes, porcelain vases, etc.

Finally, Luo Qiuyun bought eight white porcelain bowls for eating, six large bowls for serving dishes and soup, several spoons, and some small spice butterflies.

It was unknown who previously said that ancient consumption was too low. Buying a bowl, tea set, as well as those that were used earlier, even Luo Qiuyun knew that it had cost too much money.

Thus, if she were to leave all the gold and silver notes at home for Luo Tianli to use in the academy or exam, she wouldn't have much silver left. Since she hadn't rented out the new land yet, she naturally wouldn't receive any rent, which meant that she would have to find a way to earn money very soon!

If he had hands and feet, it would be easy to make money. At most, he could just go into the mountains and sell them for a large sum. It was said that this prey was very popular in large families, with wild boars worth a few dozen yuan each, and even larger tigers and bears worth several hundred taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Luo Qiuyun felt much more at ease. With the land she had now, she reckoned that she would be able to get by with the prosperity of ancient times.

After carrying the shopping home, Luo Qiuyun was about to get some water to clean the dishes when she saw Old Village Head's eldest son's wife, Madam Wang, knock on the door and walk in with a basket of vegetables on her back.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Luo Qiuyun stood up and watched Madam Wang approach step by step.

"Dad said that since you guys just moved here, you guys definitely didn't have any vegetables to eat, so he asked me to bring some over. They're all grown by your own families and there aren't any good dishes either. You guys can eat it." Madam Wang said frankly.

"Sigh, how can I take your food? I'll give you money." As she spoke, Luo Qiuyun turned around to go inside the house to get the money.
