After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lin Siheng had never put a hair ornament on a young man before, and she was clumsy and it took her a while to finally put the hairpin on Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was overjoyed and took Lin Siheng to the West Market to watch the opera troupe perform, touching him dozens of times that afternoon.

Lin Siheng couldn't stand it anymore and pressed his hand down, "Stop playing with it, or you'll develop a patina."

Jiang Xiao snorted softly, thinking: I'll touch it! I'll hug it to sleep when we get back tonight!

So when Jiang Xiao went home that night, Yuan Yuan saw him touching his hairpin and chuckling foolishly.

Jiang Xiao finally regained her senses and remembered that she still had a heavy responsibility to bear.

"Brother Yuanyuan." Jiang Xiao adjusted her voice appropriately.

Yuan Yuan was startled. "What happened?" Could she have gotten into trouble?

Jiang Xiao glanced at Gongyang Xun secretly, then coughed twice, "Yuanyuan, what kind of husband do you want to marry in the future?"

Gongyang Xun silently pricked up his ears.

Yuan Yuan said, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Just curious." To avoid arousing Yuan Yuan's suspicion, Jiang smiled and said, "I want to marry Si Heng."

Yuan Yuan chuckled and pinched Jiang Xiao's cheek, "What a shameless boy."

Jiang laughed and said, "You still haven't told me what kind of husband you want to marry!"

Yuan Yuan thought about it seriously for a while and said, "I haven't thought about this question yet."

In fact, Yuan Yuan also had his own considerations. Although he had received the protection of the Second Young Master Qi when he was in the brothel, he had still ended up in the world of prostitution.

Even if you're from a respectable family now, you can't erase your past.

He had already prepared himself to live out his days alone, but he didn't say it aloud.

He didn't want his brothers to worry about him.

Although Yuan Yuan is not considering marriage at the moment, Gongyang Xun has no chance, but neither do the others.

As the saying goes, those near the water get the moon first. Jiang Xiao felt that Xiao Yang still had a chance, so she kept giving him meaningful glances.

However, Gongyang Xun was staring straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought or contemplating something, appearing very focused.

Jiang Xiao thought that he must have heard what Yuan Yuan said just now.

After that, it's up to the little lamb to work hard.

On New Year's Eve, You Miao returned.

Originally, Magistrate You really wanted him to stay and have New Year's Eve dinner with them, but You Miao himself couldn't bear to part with his brothers.

Wang Yi's preparatory camp also had a seven-day holiday.

This was their first prosperous year in history, so naturally they had to celebrate it properly.

Yuan Yuan, Jiang Xiao, and You Miao all changed into red padded jackets, which were considered auspicious and festive. However, Wang Yi and Gongyang Xun hesitated for a long time before deciding not to change into red padded jackets.

At Yuan Yuan's command, Wang Yi and Gongyang Xun were held down by the three boys and made to change into festive robes that were only worn during the New Year.

After more than half a year of intensive care, they no longer look as thin and frail as before.

Especially Wang Yi, after his nutrition improved, his muscles became much stronger.

At first glance, he is a handsome young man.

Several people worked together to prepare a large New Year's Eve dinner, and even Gongyang Xun spent the whole afternoon peeling garlic.

Wang Yi was quite emotional, saying, "I never thought we would be where we are today. I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Yuan Yuan said, "Things will always get better."

You Miao and Jiang Xiao didn't have time to reminisce about the past; they were busy fighting over chicken legs.

After nightfall, the sky was ablaze with fireworks.

In the past, it was because of the cold, the hunger, or being forced to stay awake to keep watch over the New Year.

But now the clothes are warm, and they ate a very full New Year's Eve dinner. Several people stayed up to welcome the New Year, and eventually fell asleep, leaving Yuan Yuan alone to cover them with blankets.

After the New Year, I spent a few more days in leisure with nothing to do.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Bai Yuchen brought his medicine box to treat Gongyang Xun's leg.

As an unofficial disciple of Baishui City, Jiang Xiao stayed by Bai Yuchen's side every step of the way, helping him.

While Jiang Xiao was acting as an emotionless apprentice and tool, Lin Siheng was shamelessly eating sunflower seeds from a pearl purse outside.

Pearl heard that Gongyang Xun was also skilled in mechanical arts, so she brought a lot of precious medicinal herbs to visit him.

Of course, the visit was just a pretext; he really wanted to exchange experiences about craftsmanship with the young master.

When Yuanbao saw his brother arrive, he came too.

His arrival will inevitably drag Xiaozhai along.

Two hours later, Bai Yuchen finally came out of the room.

Lin Siheng quickly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Bai, can he stand up?"

"Not yet. I'll come back in ten days to give him acupuncture," Bai Yuchen said. "He can try to stand up after three months."

Pearl leaped over immediately, "Fish!"

When Bai Yuchen saw the pearl, his eyes softened instantly. "Little Pearl."

Pearl made a heart shape with her hands for her uncle, her bright black eyes full of playfulness, and her little mouth as sweet as honey, "Fish, you've worked hard, love you."

Bai Yuchen chuckled and gently tapped Pearl's forehead. "You're such a clever and mischievous person."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked out.

On the other side of the courtyard.

Yuanbao still had one arm draped over Xiaozhai's shoulder. "Only my brother can melt the cold stone that is Uncle."

Xiao Zhai didn't want to pay attention to him and even wanted to quietly move away.

Yuanbao wasn't about to let him have his way, and immediately pulled him back, saying, "Where do you think you're going? My embrace is your final resting place."

Xiao Zhai: "..."

After seeing Bai Yuchen off, Pearl rushed back, asking, "Is that young master awake now?"

The story begins with breakfast on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The Cheng family spent New Year's Eve at the Lin residence. Pearl got up early and happened to run into Shen Qingheng and Lin Siheng when she arrived at the dining hall.

Shen Qingheng inquired about Gongyang Xun's health, and the conversation naturally lingered on the young master for a while.

Pearl overheard this and learned that Bai Yuchen would come to treat the young master's illness on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

He specifically asked Lin Siheng to bring him along.

He knew that Qianhe Manor was skilled in mechanical arts, and he had thought about going there to learn mechanical arts at some point.

However, the owner of Qianhe Manor politely declined, saying that he was from a martial arts sect and did not want to have any connection with the imperial court.

Pearl had no choice but to give up.

Now that I have a readily available colleague, I'm definitely going to make friends with him!

Lin Siheng shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xiaoxiao!"

Jiang Xiao ran out carrying a copper basin, "What's wrong?"

Is he awake?

"I fainted from the pain. Lord Bai said I won't wake up for several hours."

Lin Siheng scoffed and said, "Useless."

Pearl was extremely disappointed. "Then I'll head back now."

Lin Siheng said, "I'll take him to Prince Cheng's residence to find you when he wakes up."

Pearl cheered up again, "Then let's do it tomorrow! I'll have the cook at home roast a lamb for you to eat."

Qianhe Mountain Villa is located near the northern border, where the locals have a tradition of eating beef and mutton.

Moreover, he also brought back a lot of spices from Yuezhou, which the young master of the manor will surely like!

Princess Zhaoren is determined to befriend this girl!

Lin Siheng also thought it was feasible, as it would be a good opportunity for Jiang Xiaojian to meet Uncle Cheng.

Let him know just how outrageous the rumors really are!
