The children of Assistant Minister Ren were around a dozen, the oldest was currently only fifteen, and the youngest was only three. His family naturally had no marriage experience.
Although it was somewhat early for Ren Ang to get married at the age of ten, it was still a happy occasion! The wedding banquet would be held first, so it was fine even if he was old enough to consummate his marriage. The key was that the woman was already seventeen, but she couldn't afford to delay any longer.
Shen Xuan was so frightened that she did not react for a while.
Ren Zihua chuckled, he then raised the strand of hair on his wife's shoulder and twirled it around her finger, and asked: "Madam, are you so happy that you can't say anything?"
Shen Xuan regained her senses, covered her lips and laughed, "Since my family has a happy occasion, I will naturally be extremely happy. "But …"
However, Ren Zihua slyly cut her short, not giving her the chance to go back on her words. In that case, I'll have to trouble Madam to worry more about the marriage. After all, he is a child who has been away from home for ten years.
He took the opportunity to strike the iron while it was still hot and excitedly chatted with his wife about which small courtyard should be allocated for the couple. He also bestowed upon which market would be used as a meal for them after they were divided, as well as betrothal gifts, arrangements for servants, servants, etc., and even seemed to wish he could bring them back tomorrow.
Since her father was always so enthusiastic and valued this matter, she, as a direct mother, as the capital's most virtuous and virtuous woman, should be the one to comply with her husband's wishes!
The meaningless conversation ended when an aunt's girl from the western courtyard came to invite him.
Shen Xuan stared at the dead man's leaving figure, secretly grinding his teeth, wishing that he could tear off that vile mind's mask!
She was now absolutely sure that her husband knew about the incident with the young man.
However, Ren Ang could tell at a glance that he was a scammer, so why did his husband insist on taking it? Was it just to welcome the young man through the door? He Miao wasn't even his kind, but his features were somewhat similar to his own. It was true that his appearance was somewhat similar. But, even if he suspected it, he wouldn't get the proof that he was the one who gave birth! If she didn't open her mouth, then perhaps no one in the world would know about the background of this young man. Currently, only her brother and mother knew of this matter.
Shen Xuan frowned. As she worried about her own frustrations, she was also worried about his daughter's future. Things were completely out of her control! How could she resolve this? Even my elder brother is no longer in the capital …
She Miao did not know that her life was about to begin a new chapter. She was carefree as she lived in the countryside, busy practicing martial arts and improving her strength. Occasionally, she would go to the vegetable fields to weed out the plants, raise fish, and walk the dogs.
It was unknown who started it, but there were actually some young fish in the paddy field that could be caught in one month's time. Almost every household had their own fish, so they couldn't sell them for much price. Most of them were fished out to be sold to the families in the town, and the rest that couldn't be eaten up were used to marinate fish and smoked fish, or chopped to make fish sauce.
However, even if they were all raising fish in the fields, they would secretly compete with each other to see who had the bigger and more fish.
In the past, it had always been the Village Head's house that had the upper hand, but this year was different.
With its big claws stretched out, it hooked a fish that accidentally jumped out of the water onto the ridge of the field. Then, it quickly jumped up, and when the fish flapped its tail to jump, it caught the fish, ran back to the side of the seedling, and threw the fish into a bucket beside her feet.
Big Yellow did not want to be outdone, but he was stronger than the Da Hui. When the fish jumped up, he threw the fish into the air, then he bit it and easily caught it.
Big Yellow wagged his tail proudly as he glanced at the Da Hui.
The Da Hui, on the other hand, had a good temper and did not bother with it.
After three or five times like this, the fish became obedient and left the edge of the field, swimming to the middle of the paddy field.
The seedlings looked into the bucket. Two carp and four grass fish were enough to eat.
There were other villagers fishing by the side of the field. Seeing the seedlings walking back, they enthusiastically greeted her and then stuck their heads out to look at the buckets she was carrying. They couldn't help but cry out, "Whoa! Good heavens! The fish in Miao's house is actually much bigger than usual! "
This shout attracted even more attention, and a few children ran over to watch. They saw that the fish was clearly two laps fatter than their family's and began to chatter noisily.
"The fish in my aunt's house is so big!" The carp is so red and beautiful! "
He smiled as he let the children reach out to touch the fish. A boy named Pi Dan picked up the biggest grass fish and held it high. He shouted towards the field, "Father, father! Look! The fish in my aunt's house is so big! "
The grass fish he was carrying weighed at least two catties, which was extremely rare in the field.
When the villagers saw this, they were all curious and surrounded him.
Everyone knew that the He Miao family could bear to fertilize and bait the plants, especially when they were being used. Their own rice plants had grown taller and more than in the past year, and when they saw the harvest, it was certain that they would increase the harvest. The villagers didn't say anything sour, they were just envious.
After everyone had dispersed, Fang Mu took the bucket and left. Because every household was recently fishing for fish and making sacrifices to their teeth, it saved her the trouble of sending fish to familiar families.
After killing the fishes and cooking at home, he had Big Yellow call his cheap master over. Along with his master's robe Lin Wei, the four of them sat around a table, opening their stomachs wide as they ate.
After eating his fill, Yang Ke burped and picked his teeth in satisfaction. The seedlings were boiling water and making tea in the kitchen when Ren Ang suddenly flashed a brilliant smile at the two of them, shocking them to the point that Lin Wei's hand trembled, and he almost poked a hole in his teeth.
He covered his mouth and hissed in pain as he glared at the kid.
Yang Ke, on the other hand, was quite patient. He threw away the broken bamboo stick, crossed his arms over his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Speak, what bad idea have you come up with again, brat?" Ever since he had become He Miao's cheap master, and had interacted with Little Fatso a lot, Yang Ke had also found out about Little Fatso's temper and personality. Yang Ke knew that this weird-looking kid had some abilities, but his heart was not harmless, so he just let him live together with others in the village.
Ren Ang was very satisfied with their actions, he extended his fat hand and gestured, then said with a beaming smile: "Let me calculate with my fingers, my wife's painstakingly growing rice seedlings, and the fish in the fields, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen tonight."
Hearing that they had some serious business to attend to, the two of them immediately straightened up and asked what was the reason behind their actions.
Ren Ang told them about catching fish with the young grasses today.
Yang Ke and Lin Wei looked at each other, both of them thinking that little fatty's calculations should be right. The latter rolled his eyes and pursed his lips at the two meat eaters in the yard, "Why don't we let them stay at the edge of the fields?" Big Yellow and the Da Hui were much more powerful than the dogs in the normal families! It wasn't any worse than a military dog!
Ren Ang raised his eyebrows, "With them here, who would still dare steal from us?" If he didn't dare to steal, he wouldn't be able to catch him. This was still a hidden danger.
The two military men thought that this was indeed the case, so they made their own arrangements to not mention it.
The seedlings carried the tea up and asked curiously, "Why did everyone leave?" "Why don't you drink a cup of tea?"
Ren Ang only said that the two of them were busy with official business, so he changed the topic.
