Chapter 7: The family is so poor that they can’t even afford to eat
The night is pitch black.
The inky black night sky is like a piece of black cloth, if you sprinkle a handful of golden sand on it, it will be dotted into a river of stars.
The occasional chirping of insects adds a bit of tranquility to this beautiful night.
The night made the slender shadows of Qin Wenyuan and Li Lizhi even longer.
The two of them walked all the way towards Baiyun County and finally arrived.
"Madam, we have arrived in Baiyun County."
After climbing up a small hill and looking at the familiar outline of the village in front of him, Qin Wenyuan finally smiled.
No matter how rich and prosperous Chang'an is, he can never live as happily as he does in Baiyun County.
"Is that... that where you used to live, my husband?"
Changle was slightly surprised.
"kindness."
Qin Wenyuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, my lady, this is only temporary."
"Although our family is in decline, that was when I lived alone . Now that I'm married to you, I'll have more responsibilities than just one person."
"For the sake of our future children, I will restore our family to your previous standard of living as soon as possible."
child……
Changle's face flushed slightly.
She found that her cheap husband was really thinking too much.
We haven't even entered the bridal chamber yet, but you're already thinking about such far-flung things.
That’s really enough.
While she was still daydreaming.
Qin Wenyuan, who was slightly faster than him, turned around, walked in front of Li Lizhi and bent down.
"Husband, what do you mean?" Li Lizhi asked puzzled.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at her little feet and said calmly: "I saw you staggering all the way. Your feet are about to give out."
"Come up, let your husband carry you."
"You may not have walked such a long distance before, so let your husband do it for you now."
As he spoke, he patted her shoulder and motioned Li Lizhi to come up.
Li Lizhi did not answer, but blushed and said "hmm" in agreement.
"Hey! Madam, you are really light. It is such a pleasure for me to carry you on my back." Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
Li Lizhi buried her head in Qin Wenyuan's shoulder and pouted , "Husband, I don't believe it."
Although she said that, Li Lizhi was still very happy in her heart.
After all, who wouldn’t be happy when being praised by your husband in person!
The two of them bumped into each other along the way and walked into Baiyun County under the cover of night.
…
Baiyun County.
Qin Wenyuan's residence is also rented.
After all, he is a man who travels all over the world, so how could he possibly buy a property in one place?
But the Tang Dynasty today is not as expensive as it was in later generations.
A month ago, when the villagers of Baiyun County saw Qin Wenyuan coming from afar, they couldn't bear to see him sleeping on the streets, so they came forward and offered to rent a house to Qin Wenyuan.
On the way, Li Lizhi listened to her husband's rent, and her red lips lifted slightly, "Husband, so our family is still very poor, and we don't have anything we want."
"If it weren't for the kindness of the villagers, would my husband have been forced to beg?"
Qin Wenyuan laughed dryly twice, "Well... maybe a little bit, but that was in the past!"
What is the difference between before and now?
Li Lizhi didn't notice any difference.
After spending a short time with her cheap husband, she found that he was very smart, observant, and considerate.
And kind.
However, these are not the factors that can change the family business.
To make such a big change, you either have to study hard, go into business, or acquire a special skill.
My husband, on the other hand, travels around the world all year round and has no chance to study.
The family is also in a lot of debt, which means there is no capital to start a business.
A skill...
Li Lizhi hasn't discovered this yet.
But she didn't expect much.
After all, if you have a skill, how can you beg for food? !
To sum it up in one word: poor!
Poor!!
Li Lizhi shrugged. Although her husband was extremely poor, she found that she did not hate this kind of thing.
For some reason, she always felt that she and Qin Wenyuan were very comfortable getting along with each other. They didn't seem like strangers, but old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Now with Qin Wenyuan, she is willing to fight with him! She is even full of fighting spirit!
"We are here, ma'am. This is our temporary residence."
The words fell.
Qin Wenyuan tightened his grip on his wife on his back and moved forward again.
The front room has two bedrooms and a living room, which is a standard apartment in later generations. It is neither big nor small.
It would be enough for ordinary people to live in, but facing his wife who was obviously from a wealthy family, he was not sure.
"How is it, ma'am, are you satisfied?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Li Lizhi nodded, "Satisfied, husband, please put me down."
"good."
Afterwards, Qin Wenyuan accompanied Li Lizhi to visit their little nest.
Li Lizhi expressed her satisfaction, which also made Qin Wenyuan very happy.
The atmosphere when the two of them get along is full of joy!
…
Half an hour later.
Li Lizhi called Qin Wenyuan over and said solemnly, "Husband, I...I need to go out for a walk."
Seeing Qin Wenyuan's surprised expression, she quickly added: "Don't worry, I'm not running away. I'm just going out for a walk to relax."
Qin Wenyuan said unhappily, "It's so dark, I don't know what you want to do, Madam. Do you need me to accompany you?"
Li Lizhi shook her head firmly.
"Okay then, remember to come back early, I'll prepare a midnight snack for you."
Qin Wenyuan blurted out, then realized something and explained, "Just prepare some food."
The words fell.
Li Lizhi discovered that her husband really trusted her. She felt warm-hearted but also a little guilty.
"Well, thank you for your help , my husband. I'm going to go out for a walk and come back as soon as possible."
Having said that, he left.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Li Lizhi's back and sighed, "It seems that my beautiful wife has hidden a lot of things from me."
"Relax in the dark night... You are so bad at telling lies. It's really hard for you, Madam."
Qin Wenyuan smiled helplessly.
He had no intention of following his wife to find out what was going on.
Just watched Li Lizhi leave quietly.
…
Outside Baiyun County.
Li Lizhi continued to move towards Chang'an.
This time, she naturally did not go back to the Chang'an royal family, but went to intercept people.
She was smart and knew that her father would be angry because she didn't see him.
Getting married today.
With so many people witnessing him, it was only a matter of time before Qin Wenyuan was found.
That's why she came out and stood alone blocking the road between Chang'an and Baiyun County.
Half an hour later, she suddenly perked up.
A team of guards came up, and two teams...
wrong!
There are dozens of guards! !
"Who's in front?" shouted the guards who were galloping on their horses.
"I am Princess Changle Li Lizhi." Li Lizhi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hearing this, the guards in the front were startled for a moment.
"Your Highness... Princess?"
