From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 493: Chapter 490: Shuangshuang, Let’s Get Married (Three More Chapters)

The kitchen quieted down, finally there was no one who liked to be noisy.

However, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t forget to remind Yu Liulang.

”Uncle, my second aunt, you’d better watch out for her. Once Aunt Xiao Hua enters the house, let them interact less. My second aunt has a loose tongue and might say something nasty.”

Yu Liulang wholeheartedly agreed with Mu Shuangshuang’s words. He nodded and said fiercely,

”I’ll keep an eye on it. If your second aunt dares to harm Xiao Hua, I’ll give her a piece of my mind.”

Mu Shuangshuang admired her Sixth Uncle even more, as he was decisive, just like Fengzi, and trusted unconditionally when protecting someone.

However, Fengzi was better; her uncle was already twenty-six, with years of experience, and it was understandable for him to know such things.

But Fengzi was only seventeen, and having such determination naturally held a special place in Mu Shuangshuang’s heart.

”Uncle, take Fengzi and me to see your new house. We’re so curious.” Mu Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows at Yu Liulang, her eyes full of anticipation.

Mu Shuangshuang was very curious about what a new couple’s room in the Da Ning Dynasty would look like.

Following behind Yu Liulang, they went to the backyard.

The Old Yu Family had both front and back courtyards, and because of the large family, they built two kitchens, one in the front yard and one in the back. The main hall in the front yard was for entertaining guests, while the one in the back yard was mainly for family discussions.

Yu Liulang’s bridal chamber was in the east wing, consisting of three rooms, covered in bright red balls of embroidery and red paper-cuts with ”happiness” characters.

At first glance, it looked particularly festive.

Mu Shuangshuang almost gave it a quick glance, but Lu Yuanfeng memorized all the patterns in his mind.

Now he particularly liked red decorations, which were very festive. He even thought that when he and Shuangshuang got married, they’d decorate the same way.

Entering the bridal chamber, the red room almost blinded Mu Shuangshuang’s titanium-alloy dog eyes.

She knew that the ancients liked red when getting married, so the bed sheets and covers were all bright red, but why were the chairs and windows tied with red strings, and why were they woven into a large spider web?

Looking at the dense red lines, Mu Shuangshuang immediately had a lot of black lines on her head.

Just these red lines, how much did they cost?

Thinking about it, the customs of the Da Ning Dynasty were indeed a bit strange.

Yu Liulang knew his niece was puzzled and explained, ”These red strings are only used for today. It means that your aunt and I will be entwined together for life, never parting.

By tomorrow morning, we’ll take these red strings down and make something else for your aunt.”

Mu Shuangshuang glanced at the width of the red strings; they were just right for making a Chinese knot, but definitely unsuitable for embroidery, and fishermen’s nets weren’t popular here—wearing it out would definitely be a spectacle.

Mu Shuangshuang chuckled inwardly, following Yu Liulang out of the bridal chamber.

With nothing to do at the moment, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng found some time alone. They looked at each other, and Shuangshuang covered her mouth and giggled.

”Fengzi, let’s go catch some wild chickens. I’ll secretly make beggar’s chicken for you.”

As she spoke, Mu Shuangshuang began to drool. Normally, they got lots of chances to be together, but today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, with such a beautiful moonlit night, the two just had to ”date” alone somehow.

As Mu Shuangshuang expected, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, everyone was either at home or at the Old Yu Family cracking melon seeds.

The two of them easily made their way to the tea field.

”Fengzi, should we go to the place we went last time?”

It was at that place last time where Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng caught several wild chickens.

Mu Shuangshuang thought they might have the same luck again.

”No, when a wild chicken’s territory is destroyed, the rest won’t make a nest in that old place. We need to find another spot.”

Mu Shuangshuang listened to Lu Yuanfeng’s words and was taken aback; she really didn’t understand these animal habits.

Lu Yuanfeng estimated that he didn’t understand them much either, then explained, ”Each animal has its own sense of territory, like rabbits. Even if you see it enter one hole, it might have already run out of another. Waiting won’t do any good.”

Mu Shuangshuang nodded; that she understood, like an old saying ’a crafty rabbit has three burrows.’

”For larger animals like wolves and tigers, their dens are usually hidden. They don’t stay there because they’re constantly hunting. As long as they’re able to fight, they’d rather choose to stay in the wild.”

Mu Shuangshuang nodded again. During her wilderness survival class, the teacher also mentioned this, but she was surprised that such a young lad knew so much.

In ancient times, this knowledge couldn’t be learned from books. No book would teach survival skills; instead, they were filled with endless empty sayings.

”Fengzi, you know so much. Did you learn this in the military camp?” Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but ask.

”Not really. Before I went to the military camp, I explored the mountains, saw a lot, and gradually figured it out.”

”Back then, things weren’t as good as now. The harvests were poor, there was war outside, the townspeople lived worse than farm families, and that was even less than hunters. I’ve always thought being a hunter seemed quite free.”

”But things have changed over the past few years. In just five years, the fields have grown crops again, and businesses in town are getting better.”

Since Shuangshuang started doing business in town, Lu Yuanfeng could see a smile appear more often on those business people’s faces.

”Haha, that’s also good fortune for us. While we’re young, let’s make more money, and of course, health is also very important.”

Mu Shuangshuang playfully winked at Lu Yuanfeng.

She was petite and charming, with particularly bright eyes, making her look especially cute.

Lu Yuanfeng’s mouth moved, and then he suddenly blushed and said, ”Shuangshuang, if I accompany you to your grandparent’s place for a meal, would you agree to one condition?”

Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback; she had forgotten, this condition was promised at noon because Lu Yuanfeng didn’t want to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at Old Mu Family.

She didn’t want him and Yuanbao spending it outside.

It was something she mentioned casually before, not expecting him to remember.

Mu Shuangshuang awkwardly smiled, hesitating whether to playfully back out or something, but Lu Yuanfeng already lowered his head, bringing with him a fresh scent of soap, which struck her senses.

With Lu Yuanfeng’s words lingering, Mu Shuangshuang’s big eyes widened, her astonishment still unforgotten in her gaze.

And then she heard Lu Yuanfeng speak, ”Shuangshuang, let’s get married!”
