Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1381: Chapter 1378: Yang Shan

After greeting the female family members of County Magistrate Yang’s Family, a line of four horse carriages headed towards Deming Temple.

Deming Temple was an hour’s journey from the County City.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, it was already Si hour. Today was a rare good day; the continuous overcast skies had finally cleared, and Chu Jin along with Chu Bo jumped down from the horse carriage.

Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang were to go and entertain the son of the County Magistrate’s family, Young Master Yang.

Madam Wang and Madam Zhang were meeting with Old Madame Du, the county magistrate’s wife, and the young maiden of the county magistrate’s family, Yang Shan.

Female relatives mingled with female relatives, while the men walked separately; because the relations were good, there wasn’t much need for formalities.

Chu Qingyu was younger than Yang Shan, but she was tall for her age, and she seemed older than the delicately raised Yang Shan.

“Elder Sister Yang, my name is Chu Qingyu, you can just call me Qingyu from now on.” Chu Qingyu had been instructed by Madam Wang before leaving the house; she might not have many strengths, but she excelled in being obedient.

Madam Wang had told her to talk more with Yang Shan, so Chu Qingyu was very proactive.

“Hello, Qingyu,” Yang Shan said with a shy smile. She had a round face that was very cute when she smiled, her eyes sparkling like stars. Perhaps it was because she was so doted on, her manner of speaking was very naive.

“Your skin is really nice,” Yang Shan said with envy in her eyes, asking, “May I touch your face?”

“Of course,” replied Chu Qingyu, thrilled to be praised and boasting, “I use the cream sold in my Third Aunt’s shop every day, that’s why it’s so nice.”

Yang Shan, her fingers itching, reached out and touched her face, which was smooth and tender.

“Is it the cream sold at the Mei Mian Rouge Shop?” Yang Shan poked her fingertips and asked, “I only heard about this shop when I came to the County City. It was not available in the Northern Region, and each time, our maidservants had to rush to buy it.”

“You should go to the shop first and see what suits you best before buying blindly—it’s a waste of silver,” Qingyu advised.

Yang Shan blinked in surprise, “I didn’t know you could try it before. I only followed what Mother said, they’re all very effective but quite expensive.”

“It’s not too expensive because one bottle can last a long time; you don’t need to buy a new one for half a year, and you don’t need to use too much each time. My Third Aunt says it has a long-term effect; using too much in a short period won’t make the results notably better,” she explained.

Yang Shan counted on her fingers, “That’s really great, I’ve saved enough monthly salary to buy two jars.”

“Shan Shan, come over and greet the ladies,” Lady Yang called her.

Yang Shan walked over with small steps, greeting Mrs. Du, Madam Zhang, Madam Wang, and others respectfully.

Chu Qingyu was also called over.

Their children weren’t part of the adults’ conversation.

Exchanging glances, Chu Qingyu said, “Mother, I’ll talk with Elder Sister Yang.”

“That’s right, our adult conversations might be boring for the children; better to let them go and play by themselves for a while,” Lady Yang agreed, nodding her head.

Madam Wang earnestly instructed her daughter, “Qingyu, take good care of Shan Shan, don’t run around.”

“I know, Mother. Don’t worry. Besides, the brothers are nearby composing poetry and discussing scholarly matters; I’ll just talk with Elder Sister Yang,” she responded.

Chu Qingyu, saying this, took the lead and walked ahead with Yang Shan, whose cheeks were a bit red.

The arrangement was tacitly understood by all families.

The matchmaking was indeed initiated by the Du families, which is why they were together.

“Brother, look quickly,” urged Chu Bo, more enthusiastic than anyone upon seeing Yang Shan approach, making faces at Chu Zhang.

Chu Zhang, who was by nature honest, blushed a deep red.

“Don’t make a fuss,” Chu Zhang said, scolding Chu Bo.
