The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chaoyao wanted to get married, and Fang and her group could not persuade her. They just thought their daughter had unique aesthetic taste and had no choice but to follow her will.

What's more, Chao Yuanwai was very optimistic about Liu Fufeng, thinking that this child was well-educated and would surely become a rare talent in the future.

Although she is a little ugly, men don’t look at appearance, so it doesn’t matter.

As a middleman, Chaoxu took this opportunity to test his attitude.

"Although I don't know who your sister is, seeing how handsome and elegant Brother Chaoxu is, I'm sure she's a rare lady. If you don't mind my appearance, the Liu family will ask a matchmaker to propose marriage as soon as possible."

Zhao Xu made a cup of tea for Liu Fufeng, "I am timid and not good at socializing. If this can be accomplished, I hope Brother Liu will bear with me."

"It is a man's duty to cherish his wife, please rest assured, Brother Chaoxu."

After the two of them had talked it over, what followed was the normal process of a scholar meeting a friend.

It is so pleasant to talk about poetry and paint.

When he returned home that day, Chaoxu told his parents about Liu Fufeng's attitude.

Fang was relieved after hearing this. "Since he has agreed, I have to start sorting out Yaoyao's dowry. It's really unfair to her. I don't know what the child will look like."

Chao Yuanwai comforted his wife, "Just add a little more, don't let the Liu family look down on you."

The two families had many business dealings, and Mr. Chao was very supportive of this marriage and took the initiative to give two shops as a dowry for Chao Yao.

The Liu family chose an auspicious day and the matchmaker came to propose marriage.

Then came the proposal, which was rejected three times and accepted three times before finally accepting the betrothal gift.

From then on, Chao Yao and Liu Fufeng were an engaged couple in the true sense of the word.

In this era, restrictions on unmarried couples are much more relaxed.

If there are maids and old women accompanying them, the two of them can go out together.

Liu Fufeng invites Chao Yao to travel together every month, and the activities they choose are different each time.

At first, Chao Yao felt a little disgusted by that shoe-horn face, but after a while, it didn't matter anymore.

Every time he went out, Liu Fufeng would consider Chao Yao as much as possible and would prepare the carriage for the trip in advance.

Everything on the carriage, from the seats to the decorations and snacks, has been carefully selected.

After a year of this kind of life, Chaoyao finally settled down.

[It wouldn't be bad to live with a man like this for the rest of my life, right? ]

Chao Yao would often convince himself in this way.

Time passes by bit by bit, this year should be the year of Chao Jin's wedding, and everything goes well.

The newlyweds also spent their initial sweet time together, and Chao Jin soon became pregnant.

Fang repeatedly told her to take care of her pregnancy, so she went back to her parents' home less often.

Chaoxu also married at the end of the year, his wife, Xu Duoya, the daughter of his teacher.

One person left the house and another came.

For Chao Yao, the biggest change in her life is probably that she used to be able to go to her sister Chao Jin to get some snacks from time to time, but now she can’t do that anymore.

Xu Duoya is a typical lady from a noble family. She is quiet, efficient, intelligent and polite.

Fang gave her half of the housekeeping power, which was a sign of respect for the eldest daughter-in-law.

As for the important stewardship, it is impossible to hand it over so early.

The affairs of a clan are so important, how can a teenage girl take on the responsibility?

It would take her seven or eight years to learn how to deal with her tribesmen.

It takes at least one or two years of training for a man to deal with the ladies and sort out the interpersonal relationships in the business world.

It takes four to five years to learn the procedures of weddings, funerals and banquets.

It’s not that I didn’t learn it well when I was in the boudoir, but the situation in each family is different, so I need to practice it again and accumulate experience.

What's more, for such an ordinary family, the most important thing is for the new daughter-in-law to give birth to a child as soon as possible. Xu Duoya knows the importance of things, so she never argues about anything.

A educated woman has a broader mind and a better view of the overall situation.

Three months after entering the house, Xu Duoya also brought good news.

When the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, the happiest people in the family are the elders.

Fang gave her a lot of gifts, and Chao Yao also bought some jewelry and gave it to her.

She spent a lot of time with Xu Duoya. While Fang was helping Xu Duoya get familiar with household affairs, she was also teaching Chao Yao.

For a daughter of a wealthy family, these are essential skills.

They have dowries, and they need to know how to take care of them.

What's more, the husband's family affairs are all controlled by women.

Chao Yao was exhausted all the time, and the day he looked forward to most was his monthly outing with Liu Fufeng.

It was another outing, and Chao Yao was staring in a daze at Liu Fufeng who was painting nearby.

"looking at what?"

"Looking at you?"

Liu Fufeng chuckled, stopped writing, and took Chao Yao's hand.

"Do you like the hairpin in the painting?"

When Chao Yao looked up, he found that the person in the painting was himself.

Liu Fufeng painted another vermilion dress for herself and added a golden hairpin to it.

The pattern on the hairpin is made up of double cherry blossoms, and it is embellished with pink, which makes the hairpin no longer look old-fashioned.

"I once saw a very beautiful cherry blossom in the library of the academy. At that time, I thought that if it was made into a hairpin, it would look great on you. Pink gems are hard to find for the time being, so I asked someone to make the flowers out of white porcelain and then dye it pink."

Having said this, he took out a box.

When Chao Yao opened it, he was stunned.

If Liu Fufeng hadn't told her in advance, she would never have thought that the pink cherry blossoms on the hairpin were made of ceramic.

The glaze is smooth and flawless, and the shape is exquisite, just like real flowers.

"Are you satisfied and like it?"

Chao Yao looked at Liu Fufeng and almost cried.

After traveling through time, she had a family who loved her, and even her future husband was so considerate.

"like."

"I'll put it on for you. This will be the first token of love I give you."

"A token of love?" Chao Yao was a little confused.

"Yes, we will be getting married in two years. Before the wedding, I will customize sixteen tokens of love for you, corresponding to your sixteen years of growth."

As he spoke, he put a hairpin on Chao Yao.

Chao Yao's tears instantly flowed out.

Liu Fufeng suddenly panicked.

He hurriedly wiped Chao Yao's tears, "But did I make you angry?"

Chao Yao's tears kept flowing, but her eyes were full of smiles.

She shook her head, "No, I'm just too happy."

Liu Fufeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Little fool, I'm your future husband, and I'm supposed to do all this!"

"If you're no longer by my side and stop treating me well, I might not be able to get used to it."

"I will always be by your side, don't let your imagination run wild. We still have a lifetime to go, and this is just the beginning."

Chao Yao didn't say anything else. For Liu Fufeng, this was his life, and only this life.

But she has life after life.

If it cannot be expressed in words, then there is no need to speak of it.

With this token of love, their relationship developed faster.

Liu Fufeng's knowledge was indeed good. When Chao Yao was sixteen years old, he passed the imperial examination and became a juren.

Although it is difficult to become a juren, it is not a rare thing in this place.

But for a businessman, it is a great blessing if his children can pass the imperial examination.

Chaoxu was still a scholar. This time he entered the examination room at the same time as Liu Fufeng, but he failed.

But he was not discouraged. After all, it was rare for a teenager to become a juren.

Many people who passed the exams as hard as our grandfathers did could only pass the examination to become a scholar.

He was a scholar when he was young and was very satisfied.

Chao Yao's fiancé became a juren, and his status in her natal family did not change much, but Chao Yuanwai walked out with his back straighter.

His children are well-behaved and filial, and his son-in-law and daughter-in-law are also very capable. Chao Yuanwai feels that his life is quite good.

But this pride did not last for more than a few months, as news came from Minister Qin.
