The next morning.

The sun shines through the cracks on the bed.

The sleeping person on the bed frowned under the sunlight, but showed no intention of waking up.

Outside the door, the curtain was lifted, and a young woman walked in, holding a bowl of steaming chicken soup in her hand.

As soon as he came in, he saw the sun shining on the young man's face, coating it with a layer of golden light.

The young man looked like a fairy from a storybook, so beautiful that women couldn't bear to look away.

At this time, the boy's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

The woman quickly came to her senses and walked over with the chicken soup and placed it beside the bed.

The young man held his head and sat up, feeling that he had a splitting headache.

The woman quickly put a pillow behind his back for him to lean on: "Mr. Jiang, you're awake."

This good-looking young man is Jiang Zhao, who was drunk and resting at Zhang Yougen's house yesterday.

Sanniang opened the window and let the sunshine in completely.

Jiang Zhao was hit by the sun and subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes.

"Mr. Jiang is really beautiful, even more beautiful than the immortals in the storybook." Her delicate skin puts even her to shame as a woman.

This was the first time Jiang Zhao was praised for his good looks. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, you are overly praised."

Sanniang picked up the chicken soup on the table and said, "Young Master drank a lot of wine yesterday. Drinking some chicken soup will help relieve your pain."

After saying that, I wanted to feed Jiang Zhao some soup.

Jiang Zhao stretched out his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."

She is already so big, and she is really not used to being fed.

Sanniang didn't force her, she just handed her the soup.

Jiang Zhao drank some chicken soup and felt better in his stomach, so he asked: "Sister-in-law, where are Simubai and Wei Xiang?"

"They are in the yard." Sanniang said.

Jiang Zhao got out of bed and walked to the yard, where he found Simubai and Wei Xiang squatting in the yard, drinking white porridge.

This made Jiang Zhao laugh. Unexpectedly, after just one night, Si Mubai and Wei Xiang had been converted.

Wei Xiang didn't care. He followed her on weekdays and was used to watching her casually.

But Si Mubai always attaches great importance to etiquette, especially the etiquette at the dinner table. When eating, he acts like an old-fashioned person.

When Jiang Zhao first met Si Mubai, Si Mubai still abided by the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping.

Later, after eating a few meals with Jiang Zhao, he was assimilated by Jiang Zhao.

But squatting on the ground and drinking porridge like this was beyond her imagination.

When Si Mubai saw Jiang Zhao, he naturally knew why she was laughing, so he only gave her four words: "When you are in the country, do as the Romans do."

Wei Xiang got up and went to the kitchen to serve Jiang Zhao a bowl of white porridge.

Jiang Zhao took the porridge and squatted on the ground to drink it like them.

Sanniang brought out a bowl of pickles from the house and gave them to them: "I didn't treat you well, so I hope you guys will respect me."

Everyone shook their heads. They drank a lot of wine yesterday, and these porridge and side dishes today were just right for their appetites.

Paired with pickles, Jiang Zhao can solve the white porridge in the bowl by dividing it by two.

Seeing her rude and wild movements when drinking porridge, Sanniang and Zhang Yougen didn't know why, but they always felt that such movements did not suit Jiang Zhao.

In their impression, Jiang Zhao should be the kind of gentle man who drank porridge with a spoon.

Just like the young men they usually see in restaurants, every move makes people like him.

But then I thought about it, Jiang Zhao is a man, and it is normal for him to be rough.

If she was as gentle as they imagined, wouldn't she look like a big girl?

But for some reason, Sanniang always felt that Jiang Zhao was more suitable to be a young lady than a young master.

Sanniang shook her head. Mr. Jiang Zhao was clearly a young man and he didn't want to think about those messy things.

He took the empty bowl that Jiang Zhao had finished drinking and said, "I'll help you fill another bowl."

Jiang Zhao shook his head: "No, I'm full. Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Young Master has helped me save my life, so there is no need to be so polite," Sanniang said.

Then he took the bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it, thinking in his mind that Jiang Zhao was not only more beautiful than the young lady, but also had a smaller appetite.

After breakfast, Si Mubai and his party planned to say goodbye.

But Zhang Yougen and Sanniang tried hard to persuade them to stay: "Young masters, please stay here for a few more days and let us entertain you well."

Before Simu Bai and Jiang Zhao could speak, the little bookboy behind Simu Bai spoke first: "Sir, didn't every inn not accept us yesterday? We can just stay at my sister-in-law's house."

The book boy didn't mean any harm, but he was drunk last night, and Zhang Yougen and Sanniang took care of him seriously and carefully, which made him very attached to this feeling.

Abandoned by his parents at birth, he was picked up and raised by human traffickers, and later sold to Si's family and became Si Mubai's school boy.

Although the Si family was very kind to him and Si Mubai was very kind to him, he had experienced parental love from Zhang Yougen and Sanniang, and he didn't want to leave so soon.

Si Mubai looked back at the book boy, but did not reprimand him.

Zhang Yougen and Sanniang heard that no inn was willing to accommodate Si Mubai and others, so they tried harder to persuade them to stay.

But Si Mubai and Jiang Zhao don't like to disturb others, and they feel very sorry for disturbing them yesterday.

But Zhang Yougen said: "Young gentlemen, just stay here with peace of mind."

"If you don't want to, then you are looking down on me and my wife."

Zhang Yougen said this. Si Mubai and Jiang Zhao looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

In the end, they had no choice but to stay, but Si Mubai and Jiang Zhao insisted on giving money. If Zhang Yougen and his wife did not accept it, they would leave immediately.

Zhang Yougen and his wife had nothing to do with them, so they could only accept a token amount.

Fortunately, although their home is shabby, there are enough rooms to accommodate so many people.

Jiang Zhao and Simubai lived in the home of Zhang Yougen and his wife.

During the few days they lived here, Zhang Yougen and his wife left all the best things in the house to the four of them.

Even their parents are very enthusiastic and are not willing to eat the good food, but use it all to entertain them.

This made Simubai and the others feel embarrassed, so they had no choice but to help with some housework.

But Sanniang tried her best to stop them: "These young gentlemen are all scholars, how can they do this by themselves?"

"You can just study with peace of mind and prepare for the imperial examination. Dagen and I will do all this."

These words drove several people back to their rooms.

Jiang Zhao sat back in the room and looked out the window. The farmers outside the window were working in the fields.

After living here for a few days, she has adapted to their life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

I also adapted to the simple folk customs here.

In the past few days, she would go out for a walk when she was tired from reading. She had become familiar with the farmers here, and would occasionally say hello when she saw them.

Jiang Zhao liked to see the simple smiles on their faces.
