Pei Fufu pursed her lips and smiled. “Jiang Yue will only turn eighteen in the second half of this year. I’m sure we can wait a few more years.”

Shao Youyue smiled. “Then I should just let them be. They’ll definitely get married sooner or later. We won’t say anything.”

Princess Jin smiled. “Didn’t everyone always think that they were a good couple? They’re a perfect match. It’s only a matter of time before they realize it.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, Yu Hongyan, and Pei Fufu all smiled in agreement. They were especially happy.

Xue Yan — who was standing at the door of the room — turned even redder, feeling even more embarra.s.sed to come out.

After a while, he stepped out of the room.

He happened to see his mother, Liu Guixia, pa.s.sing by his room with a bundle of firewood. He quickly took the firewood and sent it to the kitchen, placing it at the door of the kitchen.

During this period, he did not dare to look at his mother and sister-in-laws in the courtyard.

In the kitchen, he hesitated for a moment, but still braced himself and asked his mother, “Mother, where’s Jiang Yue?”

Liu Guixia smiled and said, “More weeds grew in the field. She went to pull it out, but she didn’t let us go with her. She said that she could go alone. There wasn’t much weeds, so she should be back soon.” Then, as if she had remembered something, she said, “Oh right, she wore straw sandals. Your sister-in-law said that she would feel uncomfortable wearing straw sandals and wanted to send her shoes. Why don’t you go?”

“Eh, okay… Alright.” The tips of Xue Yan’s ears turned red again. How could she just remember what she was wearing? It was clearly a trap…

Jiang Yue’s room door was open, meaning that he could enter as he pleased. Xue Yan went in and took a pair of Jiang Yue’s white soft soled shoes embroidered with elegant orchids. After thinking for a moment, he took a pair of white silk stockings and then came out of Jiang Yue’s room.

He still did not dare to look at his mother and the others in the courtyard. He hurriedly left his courtyard as if he was fleeing and headed for the fields.

In the courtyard, Princess Jin couldn’t help but laugh.

The others also thought that Xue Yan was funny.

Xue Yan had already walked far enough to not hear what they were talking about anymore.

In the field, Jiang Yue had already pulled out all the weeds. Because her family was still very diligent in tending to the field, even if the weeds grew, it would not grow much at a time.

After plucking the weeds, she came up from the field. Then, carrying her socks and straw sandals, she went to the long ditch at the foot of the mountain that led from the river to wash her feet.

Although this was ancient times, the girls in the family would also help take care of the crops. Therefore, it was very common for the girls to go barefoot to the fields. Moreover, now that women could study, there were fewer restrictions on women.

However, regardless of whether the women of this world could go barefoot or not, she was not from this world. She did not care. When she wanted to go barefoot, she would go barefoot.

She sat by the drain and washed her feet. She then took out a handkerchief to dry them before putting on her socks.

The socks here couldn’t be tightened automatically, so they had to be tied with straps.

She had just put on two socks and had yet to tuck her feet into her straw sandals when she saw Xue Yan, who was dressed in a white gown, come over.

As a 21 year old man, his face was no longer as tender as before. He was extremely handsome and had an extraordinary aura. He stood very tall, and he exuded a refined aura. In addition, he was dressed in a white shirt, and yet his figure still looked thinner than the average person. It was impossible to tell that he knew how to fight.
