Eleven years later.
It was a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Dressed in coarse clothes, with a straw in his mouth, he was kicking a stone by the Qinhuai River in boredom.
"Damn it, that little bit of candy actually costs three taels of silver!”
"It's fine if it's snow-white icing, but it looks dark and has no appetite. How dare you ask for such a high price?!”
Su Yang grumbled, dissatisfied with the experience of buying candy at the market today.
He did not expect that the candy in the early stages of the Ming Dynasty would be so expensive!
Most importantly, white sugar was still very rare at this time. Most people could only see brown sugar.
And even if it was white sugar, it was not the snow-white frosting seen in modern times.
The real white sugar would only appear in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
As a transmigrator, Su Yang had experienced the era when white sugar was five yuan a bag and people thought it was unhealthy.
When he turned around and saw the black candy, he could not accept it at all!
Even if this brown sugar did not look good, it was a luxury that only high officials and nobles could enjoy. However, Su Yang was not willing to buy it for his wife.
Thinking of his weak and sickly wife, Su Yang could not help but shake his head.
"He's also a poor person!"
As he rushed to his courtyard by the Qinhuai River, Su Yang thought about making his own white sugar.
His wife was only seventeen years old. If she was in the modern world, she would not be an adult yet.
When children were sick, they liked to eat sweet things when they drank medicine.
Su Yang looked at his wife drinking bitter medicine every day and felt a little heartache. Only then did he have the idea of buying some candy to make desserts for her.
He did not expect to get off on the wrong foot. The appearance of the candy was secondary. The main thing was the price.
The asking price of three taels of silver was something that Su Yang, this live-in son-in-law, could not afford right now!
"How do you make white sugar again? I remember that I've seen it before…"
As he muttered to himself, Su Yang also walked home.
It was a house by the Qinhuai River.
The courtyard with the second entrance was considered to be more imposing in the residential area.
There was a plaque hanging on the door of the house with the words "Zhu Mansion" written on it.
This was the property of Su Yang's cheap wife!
Therefore, Su Yang's current identity was a real backdoor.
A son-in-law who ate his wife, drank his wife, and lived in his wife's mansion!
……
Just as he reached the door, he saw the old steward of the Zhu residence leading two servants with sticks in their hands as they prepared to leave.
When Su Yang saw this, he instantly laughed.
"Yo, Steward Wang, where are you going?”
Steward Wang was originally very nervous with his eyes wide open. After seeing Su Yang, his aura immediately dissipated.
He shouted into the courtyard,"There's no need to go out and look for him. He's back. He didn't run away!"”
Puff!
When Su Yang heard this, he almost vomited blood and died.
Wasn't he just going out to buy some candy and wasting some time? Was there a need to make such a fuss?
Looking at Steward Wang's posture, he was prepared to bring people to capture him!？
After Steward Wang finished shouting, he turned around and saw Su Yang's expression. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Please don't blame me, son-in-law. It's just that Miss didn't see you after she woke up in the afternoon, so she came to ask us."”
"You didn't tell anyone that you were going out, so…"
Su Yang expressed his understanding. He had been out for more than half a day.
If he was Steward Wang, he would probably think that he had escaped!
"It's fine, Steward Wang. I'm just going out for a walk.”
"Where is Miss?"
Steward Wang lowered his head and replied,"Miss has listened to the son-in-law's instructions and has to go out for a walk every day. Therefore, she is taking a walk in the garden now."”
Su Yang nodded and sighed at his wife's understanding.
"Alright, I'll go and see her."
After Su Yang left, Steward Wang wiped his sweat and scolded the servant,"Put away your weapons and pretend that this never happened!”
The servant immediately nodded and hid the cudgel behind his back.
There were rules in this house.
Although Su Yang was a live-in son-in-law, Miss had instructed him to treat Su Yang as a proper master.
Therefore, even if Su Yang's identity as the live-in son-in-law was not presentable, the servants in the family did not dare to bully him.
The butler was anxious today because Su Yang had not returned for a long time. He was afraid that something would happen and that it would be difficult to explain, so he acted a little extreme.
……
Su Yang walked through the door and passed through another door before entering the courtyard.
From afar, he could hear his cheap daughter-in-law talking to a servant girl.
" Miss, your health is not good to begin with. The doctor said that you need to rest in bed. Why don't you leave? If anything happens to you…"
Before the servant girl could finish speaking, she heard a delicate and weak voice reply,"How can it be so useless? It's just walking on the ground. What can happen?”
"I think what the son-in-law said is very reasonable. If people don't move, something will happen. Life lies in movement.”
Hearing Zhu Tan 'er's words, a trace of helplessness appeared on the servant girl Xiao Chan's face.
Sighing, the young miss was possessed. They had only been married for a short time, but why did she trust her son-in-law so much?
"Young miss, what son-in-law said might not be right. Could it be that he is more powerful than Doctor Zhou?”
Zhu Tan 'er walked for a while and exhausted a lot of her energy. She panted slightly and said,"Physician Zhou is a physician, so he naturally has his own set of theories.”
"Although son-in-law is not a proper scholar, he understands the principles of the countryside.”
"Just like son-in-law said, the children of the farmers climb trees and roll on the mud every day. Their bodies are much sturdier than ordinary people.”
"During this period of time, I've persisted in going out for a walk. I feel that my blood and Qi have become much smoother.”
Hearing Zhu Tan 'er's insistence and her words protecting Su Yang, Xiao Chan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
After Su Yang finished listening, a smile appeared on his lips. Then, he said,"Tan 'er, I'm back."
Zhu Tan 'er turned around, and a smile blossomed on her beautiful face.
However, her slightly pale face and blue lips indicated that the young lady in front of him was not in good health.
Seeing this, Xiao Chan immediately went into the house to pour tea for Su Yang.
Su Yang helped Zhu Tan 'er sit on a rocking chair in the courtyard to rest.
"Husband, I heard from Little Chan that you went out today?”
Su Yang took the tea from Xiao Chan and took a few gulps.
"Yes, I went to the market."”
Zhu Tan 'er's interest was piqued." Is there anything fun to do in the market?" Husband seems to have been gone for a long time."
Su Yang was naturally straightforward with his wife.
"It's nothing. I just saw that you're suffering from taking medicine every day, so I wanted to buy some sugar and make you some small toys to try.”
Hearing this, Zhu Tan 'er didn't say anything, but Xiao Chan giggled.
"Guye, there's sugar in the kitchen. If you need it, just call us. Why do you need to go to the market to buy it?”
Su Yang was stunned when he heard that. There was candy in the kitchen? How could he not know!
He often went in and out of the kitchen to add more food for himself, but he had never seen sugar!
Xiao Chan naturally knew what Su Yang was thinking and continued to smile."The sweets are all kept in the cabinet and not outside.”
