The baby-making system is unreliable

The Dragon Boat Festival that year seemed to have been specially carved by time, and its atmosphere was even more intense and intoxicating than this year, like fine wine.

Wen Shuya went through countless expectations and waits, and finally got her parents' consent to step onto the bridge across the river to fully enjoy the wonderful dragon boat race.

That was her first time going out to such a crowded place. It was naturally special for her who yearned for freedom so much. Wen Shuya liked to stand on the bridge and gaze into the distance with sharp eyes, as if the whole world was spreading out in her eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to be able to truly feel that the air seemed to be faintly filled with the fresh aroma of rice dumplings and the sweet and greasy taste of glutinous rice.

The smell seemed to have a magical power that made her intoxicated, as if she had already seen the wonders of the world.

"Colorful ropes, beautiful and affordable colorful ropes, praying for blessings and refuge, can ensure safety. Come and see! Don't miss it if you pass by!!"

The vendors on the street were shouting at the top of their lungs, working hard to sell all kinds of exquisite sachets and colorful ropes.

Those brightly colored objects sparkled brightly in the sun, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"You see, people are always strange. They always envy things they don't have."

Wen Shuya moved her hand away, put aside the oil-paper umbrella she was holding, stood in the sun, stretched out her hand and looked at the sparkling river water, and both sides of her cheeks were wet.

"For example, they may envy me for not having to worry about making a living as a child of an aristocratic family, but I have to drink the bitterest medicine and receive the heaviest injection for a chance of survival."

From childhood to adulthood, she either took medicine or had acupuncture. If she could eat, she could take medicine. Not to mention how bitter the medicine was, the gold needles were always the longest and thickest.

An inch long golden needle was inserted into her waist so swiftly, and when she was seriously ill, it was inserted frequently. In just two or three days, her waist was already full of needle holes.

Even so, there were several times when she almost couldn't save him. Was she afraid? Of course she was afraid. She still had concerns, and she had parents and relatives who she couldn't let go of. She couldn't bear to see their disappointed expressions, and she couldn't bear to see them send their children away.

That's why I'm afraid!? If I had nothing to worry about, how could I be afraid? ! !

"Miss, Miss, you don't know how hard they work! They are busy making a living, their income is not stable, and it is common for them to go hungry for one or two meals."

The maidservant beside him seemed to remember something and sighed helplessly, "There are even children being sold. It's hard to say whether those children who have been abducted can survive."

Those trafficked children, if they were lucky enough to meet a good employer and be chosen to be slaves, could live a decent life.

If they are unlucky, it is normal to be beaten and scolded all day long. Their bodies are covered with scars, and no one feels sorry for them and no one can save them.

"That's right. Anyway, the destination of this road is the same, and no one can escape it. Why should I be so sentimental?! Maybe it's because it's my first time out here!?"

The surrounding area was bustling with people, jostling each other, it was very lively, and the noise was like waves, one after another.

In stark contrast to those young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families, they often disdain this crowded environment on the bridge.

Instead, I prefer to sit elegantly in the gorgeously decorated houseboat, savoring exquisite tea and snacks while admiring the scenery outside the window.

Wen Shuya is different from others. She likes to mingle freely among the lively crowd, as if every trace of fireworks around her can deeply infect her.

On this magnificent river-crossing bridge, the sun shines through the clouds, as if coating the entire world with a layer of golden glow.

The breeze gently blew on her face, bringing a hint of coolness and making her thoughts clearer.

She stood on the bridge, looking across the rolling river at the bustling scene in the distance.

"Light sweat seeps through the green silk, tomorrow I will bathe in fragrant orchids on Dragon Boat Festival. The fragrance will fill the clear river."

Wen Shuya was not very happy, and she remembered this poem. The maid behind her whispered to her, "Miss, this poem is a good poem, but the second half of the poem cannot be said here."

"I just... I just thought that if I can come again during the Dragon Boat Festival next year, I will definitely burn incense and bathe, and come and see the huge crowds of people again."

Wen Shuya was weak after all. After being exposed to the sun for a long time, there was a little sweat on her forehead, which soaked the green silk handkerchief.

"Colored threads lightly wrap around red jade arms, small charms diagonally hang on green cloud hair. The beauty has seen each other for a thousand years. Why can't this be mentioned? Don't girls like to pray for a smooth marriage?!"

Liang Kongming seemed to be puzzled when he asked, and said with a harmless look on his face: "This girl is also looking for a marriage partner!? I guess you won't have any worries about not being able to get married, right!?"

At that time, Liang Kongming was still a young man of sixteen or seventeen, holding a bottle of fine realgar wine in his hand. He saw the master and servant when he passed by, but did not pay much attention to them at first.

I thought he was just an ordinary maid, but I saw that he seemed to have been standing for a long time and his face was red. His frail body was really hard to ignore.

Fortunately, he pretended to be passing by and accidentally overheard their conversation. Ahem... He swore, he just overheard it accidentally. There was nothing he could do about it. Who could have made him have good ears? !

"You lecher, how could you speak to my young lady like that?!" The maid subconsciously protected her master. If she let her master be teased and she didn't protect her quickly, she would probably be kicked out of the Wen Mansion tomorrow.

"Ahem... a colorful rope, to keep you safe, would you like one?" Liang Kongming coughed, and a colorful rope appeared in his hand for no apparent reason. After handing it over, he softened his tone towards the two of them, and said with a smile, "I am sorry for being rude. If you two find it offensive, I apologize first."

"We absolutely cannot accept this. Sir, you are giving it to me for no reason. How can I dare to accept it so easily?!"

Wen Shuya hid timidly behind the maid, keeping her brows lowered all the time, not daring to respond to the young man's kindness. This behavior clearly showed that she had no intention of accepting this gift.

What's more, the thing that was sent was such a personal item. If it was accidentally seen by others, it would definitely cause gossip, pointing fingers and criticism from everyone!

When she thought of the serious consequences that might be caused, Wen Shuya couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

At this moment, Liang Kongming seemed to have seen through her inner concerns. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile. He pointed to the vendors selling colorful ropes by the bridge and said, "Girl, look at the bridge over there. There are colorful ropes everywhere. You can just pretend that you bought them from there yourself."

What's the harm?! It was just a small colorful string, there was no other explanation.

"Besides, don't these colorful ropes all look exactly the same?"

Liang Kongming stuffed the colorful rope into the maid's hands and stepped back a few steps, meaning that he wanted her to accept it.

But it was just a small five-colored rope, and if no one mentioned it, no one would know about it. Even if they knew about it, there would be no evidence to prove that this thing passed through Liang Kongming's hands.

"You only need to wear the colorful flower string on your arm to be blessed with peace and good fortune. I believe that with the girl's great blessings, everything will go well, and you will have a long and healthy life! Isn't that right?!"

After saying this, Liang Kongming took care of the things in his hands, covered his mouth to hide his laughter, and went to offer sacrifices to the river god.

"Miss, what is this thing!?" The little maid turned around and asked cautiously, not knowing what the young lady was thinking.

Wen Shuya didn't say anything, she just took it. Suddenly, there was a colorful rope on the little girl's pink wrist? !

The acquaintance of young people is sometimes so magical, and they can suddenly become familiar with each other.

Later, the two met more often. Liang Kongming knew that she was not in good health, so he said he wanted to take her pulse and examine her.

Wen Shengxian only found out about these things later, but they never spent the next Dragon Boat Festival together.

Because it was said that his cousin got married very suddenly, and it was said that a wealthy businessman in Yizhou had medicine that could cure her illness.

After my cousin's uncle and aunt begged him again and again in vain, the man specifically mentioned my cousin's name and asked her to marry him, and only then did he agree to the marriage.
