[The copy has not been revised yet, and I don't have much energy for the moment. I will revise it before starting the text. It will probably still be about the story of ancient life on the farm]
The time-traveling girl Su Miao is nominally the cousin of the Wang family in Huzhou, but in fact she is a country girl who grew up on a farm.
This is the result of her "hard work" when she first arrived at the Wang family - how about the countryside? So what if the living conditions are difficult?
Anyway, she doesn't need ten or eight servants to serve her, nor does she want to learn to abide by some useless aristocratic rules, nor can she tolerate the eccentricity and intrigue of a group of strange "relatives" who look like monkeys.
The most important thing is that she finally realized her dream of returning to the countryside in her previous life!
But a marriage urging letter from the Wang family broke Su Miao's peaceful life - what a rare handsome man, it was clear that he wanted to push Su Miao into the pit of fire!
Su Miao made up her mind and refused to marry.
After sending a false and polite rejection letter, Su Miao hid in her farm and continued to feed chickens and farm the land, doing whatever she had to do.
——The Wang family didn't urge her anymore anyway, so just leave it alone.
…
Two months later, a frail scholar in white suddenly appeared in Su Miao's field.
The man walked up to Su Miao, who was dressed in coarse clothes, put away his folding fan, and saluted her politely.
"My wife, Wang Lang, is the cousin of your young lady Su Miao. Where is she now? I... Have something important to do with the Wang family. Can you please take me to see her?"
Su Miao was speechless while holding a hoe, looking up and down at this cheap cousin who suddenly appeared - he looked like a sour bookish person, and it seemed that he could hardly be a big deal.
Annoyance… I didn't expect that the Wang family would send someone to arrest her for marriage?
Su Miao didn't want to pay attention to him, put the hoe on her shoulder, turned around and left.
…
So, the following days - in the grain drying field, by the well, by the paths in the fields...
Wherever Jiang Yue might appear, a scholar in white would appear randomly.
"Cousin Su Miao... My cousin is blind and didn't recognize you who loves working. Please forgive me for being rude... Please don't ignore me anymore..."
"That is indeed a good marriage. If my cousin gets married, she won't have to farm the fields... Cousin, please come back home with me."
—
"Cousin, you really don't remember me?... We played together when we were young, and we were childhood sweethearts."
"Cousin, I have been thinking of you for so many years... You tell your cousin what kind of husband you want to choose. My cousin will help you find your aunt, and I will definitely fulfill your wish."
…
Later, the rotten scholar Wang Lang finally gave up his so-called persistence and bravely expressed his sincerity to Su Miao:
"Cousin Miaomiao, I have helped you return your aunt, and if you don't marry that person... You can farm with peace of mind."
"Cousin Miaomiao, we haven't seen each other for many years. Although you don't remember me, in my heart... I always remember that little girl who stood up for me and spoke arrogantly... If there is a chance, I also want to protect her..."
"Cousin Miaomiao, now I have nothing to do with the Wang family... So, if what you said before... Recruiting a wife is still worthwhile, can you consider me first?"
"Cousin Miaomiao, I... I am happy with you."
