The Eldest Daughter's Marrying into the Highest Royalty

  Xiao Shi and Wen Jia's sisters returned home when it was already late afternoon, the streets were crowded with people coming and going, very lively.

  Because there were no elders around, and Xiaoshi, who was only a few years older than them, didn't bother to take care of them.

  They can not only chat and laugh, but also lift the car window curtain to take a look at the outside scenery, this opportunity is once in a thousand years, which makes several sisters feel very good.

  Of course, the one with the best mood is still today's protagonist, Fourth Sister. Although she didn't seem any different from usual, speaking little and saying less, everyone could still sense that faint joy emanating from her.

  Isn't that an exaggeration? Jiuniang couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled, and on the other hand, she understood it somewhat. Moreover, Xie Jun's image was still a bit... not quite in line with the aesthetic standards of the Great Yue Dynasty at that time...

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take another look at the fourth sister, only to see that the fourth sister was exchanging eye signals with Xiao Shi, and she was slightly taken aback.

  Is there some secret between these two?

  She didn't expect it, but she got a chance to uncover the secret -

  That little eleven insisted on eating sugar gourd, and also wanted to go down personally to see the dipping method of that sugar gourd. Xiao Shi was a person who couldn't afford to be vague in important matters, so she naturally didn't agree with her, and sent the servant to buy it instead.

  But unexpectedly, little eleven came up with another trick, shouting that her stomach hurt. The Xiao family was driven to a dead end by her and had the carriage driver take them to a shop on South Street that sold all kinds of sugar and also made candied hawthorns.

  Although this sugar gourd, touted as the "first sugar of Dai Viet", is much more expensive than usual, it's still better than being a daughter-in-law from a prestigious family standing on the street looking at people eating sugar gourds.

  After putting on her veil, Xiao Shuo led Xiaoshi away, and Xiaoshi, who couldn't hold back her free-spirited heart, naturally followed.

  In order not to draw attention, Fourth Sister and Ninth Sister also had no choice but to stay in the car.

  "Fourth sister, is Xie Gongzi really that good?" asked Jiu Si'er, who had been watching the pensive Fourth Sister for a moment.

  Fourth sister heard this and was taken aback, then blushed with shame and glared at Ninth Sister, "Ninth sister, what are you talking about? Making fun of me like this...what's the meaning of this?"

  Looks like this elder sister who can't shake off the shadow of being abandoned is really angry.

  "Fourth sister, what are you saying? I'm just worried about fourth sister, afraid that she'll meet someone unsuitable again. Although I trust third aunt's judgment, I'd rather be able to personally help fourth sister verify this Mr. Xie." Ninth sister hastily grabbed fourth sister's hand and said.

  These words are indeed heartfelt, she intentionally inquired if it was true, but as a sister, worried about the future of her fourth sister, hoping that her fourth sister would have a happy and joyful future is also true.

  "Sorry, Ninth Sister, I...I was just impulsive a moment ago." Under Ninth Sister's sincere gaze, Fourth Sister felt embarrassed and quickly apologized.

  "It's okay, fourth sister, we're good sisters!" Ninth sister hastily shook her head.

  "Actually..." The fourth sister's face turned red as she spoke, but her words were hesitant and stuttering. "Actually, Third Aunt... before Third Aunt called you over, she had me... had me talk to Xie Jun in the inner room for a few words..."

  Talk... conversation?

  The ninth sister was shocked and widened her eyes. Xiao Shi was too avant-garde, this was the rhythm of blind dating that only modern people had.

  "Jiǔ mèi mei, nǐ...nǐ bié...bié kàn bù qǐ wǒ, zhè yě bù guài sǎo sǎo, sǎo sǎo yě zhī shì...zhī shì yǒu nǐ nà gù lǜ cái juédìng zhèyàng zuò de..." Nà sì jiě ér yòu dào, yǔ qì lǐ gèng shì chú le xiū tiǎn, hái yǒu xiū kuì.

  "How could it be?" Jiuniang naturally hurried to comfort her, then asked again, "What did he say to you?"

  "Say... say..." The ninth sister's question made the fourth sister's face instantly turn into a red cloth, and she stammered for half a day before saying, "If I... I marry her, I may not be able to live a life of luxury like in the Hou Mansion, but... however, it can also guarantee that we will have no worries about food and clothing. He... won't let his own wife suffer, and... moreover, he also said that he won't take concubines in the future..."

  "Uh..."

  "Hey Ninth Sister, why don't you have one too?"

  Until the little eleven who went to buy sugar gourd with Xiao Shi's ten sisters came back excitedly, and excitedly held that red and seductive sugar gourd to her mouth, the ninth sister had not yet digested the shocking words from the fourth sister.

  Xie Jun... how should I put it? It seems he really has taken a liking to Fourth Sister.

  It's also true that Fourth Sister, although not as stunning as Tenth Sister, is still a delicate and refined beauty, and she's the daughter of the Marquis Hou. Although she was abandoned by her husband, she's more than good enough for this man from a humble background.

  But... but there will definitely be troubles in married life from now on, I don't know if these four sisters are well prepared or not...

  "...and then, fourth sister, when the sugar gourd is taken out, it needs to be slammed onto that board with force, otherwise there won't be that big sugar piece. That old man was saying this to me while slamming it open, wow... indeed, on the surface of the sugar gourd, there appeared a big sugar piece, looking very tempting to take a bite..."

  However, it was clear that Sisi didn't have her worries, as she listened intently to Xiao Shiyi's description of the process of making sugar gourds.

  "Alright, alright, eleven!" Xiao interrupted her and then reminded her, "When you arrive at the mansion, don't show this off everywhere, and only do it once, don't make a habit of it."

  "Third Sister-in-law, I know! I know!" Little Eleven immediately replied.

  "Don't worry, Third Sister, we all know." The tenth sister, who was holding a sugar gourd and biting it, also hurriedly said.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi laughed, and so did Eleventh Sister and Tenth Sister. Fourth Sister and Ninth Sister also exchanged a smile with each other.

  It was because of this smile, and even more so because of this secret, that the hearts of several people drew closer together.

  This sister-in-law is indeed not a simple person, she really knows how to win people's hearts. Looking at Xiao Shi's slightly numb face again, Jiu Sister couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

  "Third Sister, look! Isn't that the carriage of University Scholar Han's mansion? Why has she turned back and is walking this way again? Isn't this what people usually call 'going south by driving the chariot north'?"

  After eating the sugar gourd, Little Eleven again pretended to throw away the sugar gourd stick and secretly took a look outside the horse carriage, but unexpectedly let out a surprised cry after looking.

  "Jiangning?"

  Several people were taken aback after hearing this, and they also looked out through the carriage curtain lifted by Xiao Shi.

  It's true, Han Jingniang, as a perfect and special existence among the many noble ladies, how could people not pay attention to her, so this carriage of hers has also caught everyone's eye.

  I just don't know what prompted her to do this...

  But soon Jiuniang understood, she didn't know if Shiniang and Shiyi understood or not, anyway she understood.

  "Third Young Mistress, it seems we'll have to wait a bit. There are officials and soldiers up ahead, apparently dealing with the case of a notorious thief who stole official silver and injured an imperial officer. Even the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard has come out in person."

  It didn't take long for the carriage to suddenly come to a halt with a "creak". Then, the two old women sitting on the carriage pole got down and lifted the curtain to enter, bowing their heads towards Xiao Shi.

  Isn't Yang Guofeng, the king of Nawei, also serving as the commander-in-chief of the five cities' military?

  I guess this Korean girl is here for this?

  Does it matter?

  The ninth sister couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain, and the good impression she had of Han Jingniang's beauty, elegance, and kindness was greatly discounted.

  The twilight merged, the sky gradually darkened, but the five-city soldier's officer was still checking some suspicious vehicles and personnel, neither hastily nor slowly, in an orderly manner. Some passing pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages began to feel anxious, and a small disturbance appeared.

  "I hope you can remain calm, as these thieves are not only daring but also extremely vicious. Today they dare to steal from the government and harm government officials, tomorrow they may pose a threat to you all. For your safety and well-being, I ask that you wait a little longer and be more understanding. Yang promises that within two quarters of an hour, he will ensure that you can pass through safely."

  Then at this time, a calm and thick voice loudly said to the crowd.

  Among the crowd, Wen's family women naturally did not dare to lift the carriage curtain again, so they could only listen.

  When this voice finished speaking, the crowd was suppressed and the street returned to its usual calm.

  "This Wei Far King is indeed a man of his word, worthy of being a good general for the country!" Xiang heard this change outside the car and couldn't help but smile.

  The sisters of Wen's family also smiled along with her, but no one said a word.

  Xiao's words were somewhat dull and he didn't speak again.

  The ninth sister looked at Xiao Shi and then lowered her head, following the crowd in silence.

  Xiao Shi did not know about Wu Jie's matter, and of course, no one would tell her.

  Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered Han Jingniang, who should also be listening in the carriage at this moment.

  But isn't it interesting to hear this? Will this girl also be like Wu Jie Er, recklessly and boldly making a comeback without any regard for consequences?

  Suddenly she wanted to see the scene outside, and not only did she want to, but she also did so, causing several people in the car to look at her in surprise.

  Among all sisters, she has always been known for being steady and reliable.

  But it was better not to look. After looking, she couldn't help but stare in surprise, and the car curtains had been down for a long time before she came back to her senses.

  How did this happen?

  According to reasoning, the man that Jingniang has a crush on should be Yang Guofeng. But how come she saw...how come she secretly lifted the car curtain and threw flirtatious glances at an oily-faced man?

  This scene... she couldn't be mistaken, could she?

  As she thought about it, she lifted the curtain to take another look, but unexpectedly a hand suddenly reached out and smoothed out the carriage curtain.

  I didn't expect her hands to be so white and beautiful. If her sister-in-law hadn't contracted that illness, she would probably have been a beauty.

  But then it seems she won't be able to marry Wen Jingyu.

  She smiled awkwardly at Xiao Shi and then sat up straight again.

  After a while, the sound of soldiers shouting and people cheering could be heard. It was estimated that the case had been handled and the road ahead had been cleared, and people began to pass through one after another.

  The women of the Wen family were also preparing to leave, but just then, they suddenly remembered a woman's angry scolding voice, "Where did this saucy and impudent creature come from? How dare you make flirtatious remarks about the young lady of the Xue family, are you tired of living?"

  Uh...

  Jiuer was stunned, the women of the Wen family were stunned, and it's likely that everyone on the entire street was also stunned for a moment. There was a brief silence on the main street.

  "You're a shrew, speaking without reason. I just praised the young lady twice, how is that flirting? Since you say I'm flirting with your daughter, then I'll show you what flirting looks like."

  Under the eyes of the public, being treated like this by a servant, that idle and arrogant young master naturally became angry. The ninth sister in the carriage made up her mind and had already imagined the appearance of the young master who was furious from head to toe, pushing away the woman and rushing towards the horse-drawn carriage with an arrogant and frivolous attitude, wanting to lift the curtain...

  "Halt!" But suddenly a low, stern voice came from behind.

  Hero saves beauty?!!

  Under such circumstances, people naturally couldn't help but be reserved anymore——

  Xiao Shiyi lifted the car curtain with one hand, and Xiao Shi and her sisters looked over together.

  Of course, there are many like-minded people!

  At dusk, on the street, many carriages opened their curtains and many pedestrians turned back... countless eyes fell on the hero who flipped over from the horse and landed neatly, then grabbed a certain unknown young master.

  "You... you think you're that onion? Let me go quickly... hurry up and hit this guy, what are you standing there stupidly for..." The young master's lines were really standard.

  "Sir... sir, you should hurry back now, it's already very late..."

  The young master is not very discerning, but his followers are all sharp and astute individuals. That Yang Guofeng may be alone and unaccompanied, but he wears a suit of black armor, and at first glance, he's no ordinary person.

  The young master was not convinced, and in a fit of rage, he kicked one of the dog legs with his foot. Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward and stood in front of Yang Guofeng, who was almost half a head taller than him. "You little brat, stop pretending in front of me, let me teach you a lesson..."

  "Whoosh——"

  But before he had finished speaking, he suddenly fell head over heels to the ground.

  "You... you dare to sneak attack me..." The young master pointed at Yang Guofeng, who seemed not to have moved his hands, and shouted a string of "hiss-hiss" curses, but after struggling for a while, he still didn't get up.

  "Your young master is injured, take him back quickly, your Lord Zuo is waiting for him." But Yang Guofeng didn't even look at him and turned to face the crowd of lackeys.

  The family's secrets were easily revealed, and the faces of the servants changed color. The young master also suddenly became quiet.

  The crowd of dogs quickly went to support the young master, who again forced a smile and muttered two sentences, and in an instant the figures of the masters and servants disappeared into the streets.

  "Haha......" Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

  "Thank you, Your Highness!"

  The street was shrouded in twilight, a pair of jade-like hands lifted the pearl curtain, and then a sweet voice like an oriole's song echoed out, it was none other than the beautiful Han Jingniang who had just escaped from being molested.

  Although wearing a white veil, the temperament, figure and charming gesture of that curtsy still made the dazzling sunset instantly lose its color, and people couldn't bear to look away.

  "It's nothing, just doing what I'm supposed to!" Yang Guofeng still had that calm and collected demeanor, but he slightly turned his body and didn't look directly at the beauty.

  But the beauty did not retreat due to his attitude, lightly laughing, "No wonder my grandfather often said that Wang Ye is a man who does not dwell on his achievements and is not arrogant, today I see that it is truly well-deserved..."

  You're not proud of yourself? Beautiful woman, your flattering words are also too low-standard, aren't they?

  I don't know what others think, but at least Jiuniang was disgusted.

  Although she thought so, she had to admit in her heart that this beauty was not only many times smarter than the fifth sister, but also appeared in a weak posture, and then waved the flag of her noble and respected grandfather, and spoke with such eloquence and charm, how could Yang Guofeng not have a good impression of this beauty?

  As expected, Yang Guofeng asked about the imperial university scholars in the palace, although it was a polite phrase, but looking at the sunset, that perfect pair of men and women, Jiu Si'er suddenly thought of Wu Si'er who often accompanied the green lamp and ancient Buddha, a burst of fire rose from her heart.

  Shouldn't be...

  Her gaze suddenly fell on the strings of sugar gourds by the armchair, and her hand made a seemingly unintentional swing.

  "Oh no......"

  With such a shout, the sugar gourd had already fallen to the ground, and Yang Guofeng, who was sensitive by nature, also turned his head around.

  "Never mind, Ninth Sister. If it's gone, then so be it. I've had enough to eat anyway." Little Eleven couldn't help but look away and hurriedly came over to comfort her.

  She gave Xiao Shiyi an apologetic smile, and while the Xiao family and her sisters were still reacting to this sudden accident, she suddenly turned her face and threw a sarcastic smile at Yang Guofeng.

  Pffft!

  Yang Guofeng was taken aback for an instant.

  "Whoosh——"

  Jiuniang had already lowered the carriage curtains and said to Xiao Shi, "Third Aunt, if we delay any longer, it will be dark."

  "Oh..." Xiang Shi naturally couldn't care about the commotion, and hastily instructed the servant to urge the coachman to hurry up. The carriage soon started moving with a "rumbling" sound, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

  "Prince..." Han Jingniang, lost in the sweetness, was a little puzzled that Yang Guofeng suddenly walked away, and couldn't help but call out softly.

  "Miss Han, it's getting late, I'll take my leave!"

  Yang Guofeng had already lost interest in continuing the conversation, glanced at his subordinates who followed behind him, and slightly bowed to Han Jingniang before turning around and mounting his horse.

  “……”

  Han Jingniang wanted to say something else, but before she could think of anything, Yang Guofeng had already walked away without looking back.

  Looking at the robust and straight back of the horse, her face's shyness gradually turned into loss, but suddenly her eyes lit up again, because that back suddenly pulled the reins, stopped.

  But just for a moment, the figure moved again, slowly walking away.

  The beautiful little face of Han Jing's daughter couldn't help but look over at the place where the man was standing, only to suddenly discover several strings of bright red sugar gourds lying on the ground...

  ……

  On the ninth day of the first month of winter, the Wen family welcomed another joyful event, which was the marriage of the fourth sister. However, this joyful event was not perfect because both Wen Chonghe and Miao Shi were dissatisfied at heart.

  They didn't like it, so they weren't enthusiastic. As a result, the task of holding the wedding ceremony fell entirely on Xiao's shoulders. However, Xiao didn't complain at all and carefully made arrangements one by one. She even asked her natal family for two experienced women to help with the matter.

  So in the end it was done very beautifully, which made this ugly-faced wife show off greatly in the mansion, making everyone look at her with admiration.

  "What's there to be happy about? It's uncertain how things will turn out."

  While everyone was praising Mrs. Miao, she didn't show a hint of excitement, but instead said this.

  Her son Wen Jingyi was also furious, and it was already dark outside, but he wanted to go out and reason with her. However, he was pulled back by Xiao Shi, "What's the point, I don't need you to seek justice for me."

  "But..."

  "Tomorrow, Fourth Sister will be back home, and it's still possible to deceive people, isn't it?" Xiao Shi smiled at him again.

  Wen Jing was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood that his daughter-in-law wanted to let the facts speak for themselves. But... but could things really turn out well?

  "See you tomorrow!" Xiao Shi smiled lightly and then lowered her head to fiddle with the abacus again.

  Jiang was after all a concubine-born wife, and she feared that if she monopolized power, others would not submit to her, so she went to consult with Lady Li about dividing up the matters in her hands.

  Ms. Li nodded immediately.

  Fortunately, she was the eldest daughter in her mother's house and had been taught household chores by her mother since childhood. She was also clever and had only taken over for two days, but she was already doing a great job.

  What is important now is to use more heart and mind, as soon as possible to familiarize everything, so that it is convenient to abolish all the unfavorable and cumbersome things in the government, and reduce expenses.

  She did this not for power, but in the hope that her husband's family would gradually improve, so that she wouldn't be looked down on in the future.

  "You should rest now." Looking at his wife's focused expression under the lamplight, Wen Jingyi felt a sudden flutter in his heart.

  It's strange, how he no longer finds her ugly lately, and at this moment, under the lamp, she has a kind of enchanting quiet and gentle beauty that captivates his heart.

  Xiao's husband, however, didn't seem to think that his wife had any thoughts about him always being forced to come to her room. Without even lifting his head, he said, "You go to sleep first, I'll play for a while longer!"

  Rejected...... However, Wen Jingyi was unexpectedly not angry. Looking at his wife who had a stronger sense of career than himself, he couldn't bear to waste time either.

  "I'll go take a look at the book for a while... we can go to sleep later!" He said, not daring to look at his wife, and turned around to head to the study.

  Xiao's eyes widened in surprise, then she reacted and slowly turned red with embarrassment.

  That slightly numb face was tinged with a blush, and it even carried a hint of brightness...

  ……

  "Girl, go to sleep quickly, it's already very late."

  That night, those who didn't sleep naturally didn't know about Xiao Shi, and then there was Jiu Jie who was buried in a pile of books.

  Qing Xing felt a pang in her heart as she looked out at the dark night and advised.

  "Ah, it's fine now!"

  The ninth sister just responded with a casual "en" and then lowered her head again to flip through the book.

  The wax moth eggs have settled well on the tree, but now they face a new problem, that is, there is a kind of parasitic insect called wax dog that specifically harms these wax moth eggs.

  In this backward ancient time and space, there is no pesticide, what can be used to kill these wax moths?

  Arsenic, sulfur, mercury, or some poisonous plants?

  But how to spray it? Can't we get a spray bottle out...

  "Tomorrow is the day when the Fourth Miss should return home." The green apricot suddenly said at this time.

  "Oh..." Jiuniang was taken aback for a moment before remembering that tomorrow was the day of her fourth sister's return.

  "Alright, put these away, I'm going to sleep." Jiujie suddenly said to Qing'an.

  "Uh..." Qing Xing was slightly taken aback.

  "Hehe...... I'm really looking forward to it." Jiujie'er smiled and said.

  Besides, she also heard that her fourth brother-in-law was very skilled in agricultural water conservancy, and wondered if she could ask him about it tomorrow.

  Not just these four sisters are satisfied...

  ……
