Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

"Let's all go out and play."

Shen Zhao placed a bowl of Tremella soup on the kang table, grabbed a handful of candies from the incense table and gave them to them, then let them go out and play.

The child took the candy and ran out of the house happily. Shen Zhao then said to the newlyweds, "Sister-in-law, you should eat something too."

The bride timidly glanced at the girl and saw that she was about the same age as herself, so she nodded and asked, "Are you Shen Zhao?"

"Yes." Shen Zhao rolled up the bride's long sleeves and put the spoon in her hand.

Chen Wuhou's home is in Xiaogu County, seventy or eighty miles away from here. It is estimated that the new sister-in-law has not eaten all day.

The bride said awkwardly: "I, I want to go to the toilet."

Shen Zhao:.
"Okay, I'll get the toilet." She turned around and went to find the toilet the bride had brought.

The bride immediately refused: "No, I, I want to go to the toilet." She was really embarrassed to go to the toilet in the room in front of her sister-in-law.

Because the room was too small, a large earthen bed and an incense table took up most of the space, and there was not even a hidden place to put a toilet.

Shen Zhao saw that his new sister-in-law was wearing a long dress with curved hems, and knew that it would be inconvenient for her to go out, so he said, "Wait a moment, I'll get you a robe to change into."

The bride nodded and moved her butt toward the edge of the kang.

So Shen Zhao found a convenient cotton robe and a pair of shoes and brought them into the new house.

After helping my new sister-in-law change into a cotton robe and shoes, I took her to the toilet outside the yard to use the toilet.

Afterwards, the bride breathed a sigh of relief and ate a bowl of red dates and white fungus soup.

Shen Zhao brought her some hot water to wash up, and asked casually, "What's your sister-in-law's name?"

The bride was checking the beautiful white towel and said in a relaxed manner, "My name is Chen Zhijun."

Chen Zhijun?
The name doesn't match the one on the marriage certificate?

That day, Shen Zhao looked at the marriage certificate signed by his father and eldest brother, and the name on it was clearly Chen Min.

"What's your ranking in the family, sister-in-law?" Shen Zhao reached out to help his sister-in-law adjust her hair accessories and tighten the loose hairpins.

Chen Zhijun lowered her eyelids and said, "I am the fourth daughter of the Chen family."

Shen Zhao paused and looked at Chen Zhijun in confusion: "But my eldest brother clearly married the third daughter of the Chen family?"

Chen Zhijun sniffed and said softly, "My third sister didn't want to get married, so my father beat her up, and then my mother let me marry her."

Shen Zhao was speechless.

But the newlyweds had already entered the house, and the eldest brother didn't seem to care, and he had no right to interfere in his brother's marriage.

She coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment and asked curiously, "Does my brother know?"

Chen Zhijun shrank her neck and said in a low voice: "I don't know either."

When the two sisters came out to meet the guests together, Mr. Shen kept his head down, as if he didn't even look at her sisters.

On the day of delivering the betrothal gifts, the third sister took one look at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and broke off the engagement that very night, refusing to marry into the Shen family no matter what.

Her father was so angry that he beat her severely, but she said she would rather die than do that.

The mother always favored her third daughter who was outstanding in appearance, so she let her fourth daughter, who had just turned fifteen, marry in her place.

Chen Zhijun grabbed the towel in her hand and said softly, "My mother didn't force me. I was willing to do it."

Shen Zhao's heart softened, he patted her head and said comfortingly: "I think my eldest brother has no objection, you don't have to worry."

The eldest brother didn't say anything when he came to pick up the bride, so he must have accepted this young wife.

In this case, it doesn’t matter whether sisters are easy to marry or not.

Chen Zhijun obviously relaxed after hearing this, and a smile appeared on her face. After coming out of the bridal chamber, Shen Zhao asked his two nieces to accompany the bride so that she wouldn't be scared alone, and he went to the kitchen to get a meal and brought it to the bridal chamber for the bride.

The yard was full of guests, who braved the bitter cold wind and managed to finish all the food on the table.

As the night deepened, the guests left one after another. My aunt and my cousin's wife helped clean up the yard and went home.

Shen Zhao and his mother cleaned the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, and returned to the side room.

When I got up early the next morning, I saw my new sister-in-law was already busy in the kitchen, and my eldest brother was sitting in the stove helping to light the fire.

By the time Shen Zhao finished washing up, his new sister-in-law had already prepared a pot of egg noodles and brought it to his parents.

"Dad! Mom! Please have your meal." Chen Zhijun kowtowed respectfully to her parents-in-law.

Zhang Shanyue quickly pulled her up and said, "We don't have so many rules in our family. Don't do this in the future." She was not used to being treated like this.

Shen Ang also said: "You all come over to eat together, and you can ask your mother about family affairs in the future."

Chen Zhijun responded, stood up and went to put on face again.

Shen Zhao sat next to his mother, looked at his elder brother, and then at Chen Zhijun.

The two of them, one serving the noodles while the other holding the bowl, worked in perfect harmony.

After breakfast, Zhang Shanyue asked her daughter-in-law and son to go back to their room to rest, while she and her daughter boiled hot water to clean the pots and pans from last night.

The second son, Shen Heng, returned the borrowed items.

Zhang Shanyue whispered to her daughter, "Your elder brother told me this morning that the one we married was the fourth daughter of the Chen family, and we have to go back to the Chen family to exchange the marriage certificate."

Shen Zhao listened quietly.

"Your eldest brother also told us not to blame his wife and not to tell anyone about this." Zhang Shanyue put the washed bowls into the basin and sighed softly.

Shen Zhao added some grass to the stove: "Got it."

This may not be a bad thing. If the eldest brother marries the third girl and something unexpected happens, that would be a disaster.

I have so many secrets that I can't guarantee that my new sister-in-law will not discover them. Once she has any ill intentions, I will be in big trouble.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day, and the new sister-in-law and eldest brother returned.

Shen Zhao asked her to ride their own camel back, while her eldest brother rode a horse with two baskets of gifts on its back.

"A Zhao, when will the inn open for business?" Shen Heng asked.

He and his friends haven't been out on the stall for a long time.

Shen Zhao: "It's up to you. Aren't there still a lot of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded trousers and cotton-padded shoes in the inn's warehouse? Sell them at a discount quickly. After the spring comes, these things will be unsalable."

She has no shortage of money in her account recently, and she doesn't pay much attention to the little things that A Zhu and the others do, so she doesn't expect to make much money from them.

"Discount? No way!" Shen Heng refused.

Now the business of the inn is handed over to him to manage, and most of the money earned goes into his own pocket. He currently has tens of thousands of dollars and is richer than his father.

So there must be no discounts, otherwise where will the profits come from?

Shen Zhao suddenly remembered something and said to his second brother, "Oh, by the way, there will be more merchants from the Western Regions after the first month of the year. You should stay at the inn from now on. I will buy a few ewes and raise them outside. When you are free, you can squeeze out some goat milk. I need it."

"You want to make milk tea again?" Shen Heng knew that his sister liked to drink tea made with goat's milk. Sometimes he would add almond powder and tea powder to the goat's milk. The taste was simply amazing.

Shen Zhao nodded: "Yes, someone wants to buy our goat milk and is willing to pay 10,000 coins per hu."

She also told the complaining brother that a hectoliter here weighs about fifty kilograms, and if he is willing to buy it, then he can buy it, but if he is not willing, she will not force him.

Unexpectedly, the complaining brother agreed immediately and asked me to live broadcast the milking of the goat. (End of this chapter)
