A Two-Tael Husband

[Food + farming + everyday life. The bottom transmigrates into another body and lives an ordinary, peaceful life.] Ruan Su's husband is someone he bought for two taels of silver. At first, he only wanted a cheap "long-term laborer." Who would have thought that before long, the "laborer" would somehow become his husband? Looking at Qin Yunxiao's handsome face, Ruan Su sighs and thinks, Well, a husband is fine. At least he can work, and he's good-looking. He's a little "dumb," but his parents seem pretty pleased with him. After living together for a while, Ruan Su realizes Qin Yunxiao can help with the stall, work in the fields, cook, and hunt in the mountains to bring in extra money. What's more, he cherishes Ruan Su and is always coaxing him. Ruan Su gradually comes to appreciate him, too. Qin Yunxiao hands over every bit of money he earns, does whatever he's told, and is willing to lower himself to serve him. Most surprising of all, his husband is incredibly impressive in bed... As the wooden bed creaks and sways, Ruan Su's eyes grow hazy. He wonders sleepily, Those two taels were well spent. Before long, their shabby little stall turns into a neat, spacious shop. The soft, sweet pastries, made in delicate shapes, draw passing travelers and caravans from near and far. Listening to the customers exclaim their praise, Ruan Su rubs his growing belly and smiles with happiness and contentment. He never thought he would one day have a child of his own. Meanwhile, Qin Yunxiao watches his husband's belly grow. He works at the shop while carefully looking after Ruan Su, and seriously wonders: How can he tell his husband that his "deceased" parents are actually still alive? What if his husband finds out he lied to get married and wants to divorce him? When the truth finally comes out, Qin Yunxiao kneels beside the bed and clutches his husband's legs, confessing remorsefully, "It's all my fault. You can hit me or blame me, but please don't divorce me." "I gave you my indenture, so I'll be yours for the rest of my life." Ruan Su, completely bewildered: ? When did he ever say he wanted a divorce? One-on-one, both leads are each other's first, with a little Sichuan-style farming. * Includes childbirth * An alternate setting. I made up the prices and customs myself. * The story may be rather laid-back, focusing mostly on food, farming, and everyday family life.

His delicate skin and fine-boned body, clearly raised among gold, silver, and jade, are covered in alarming purple bruises. Luckily, the hunter who found him is kind and always willing to care for him. "I've forgotten my name. How about I take your surname?" The person leaning against the bed has long black hair falling over his shoulder. His face is pale, yet breathtakingly beautiful. He looks over at the tall, taciturn hunter beside the bed, then smiles, half teasing and half reproachful. "Call me Cheng Ning. How does that sound?" Cheng Yuan presses his lips together and looks at the man teasing him with dark eyes. After a moment, he finally says, "Suit yourself." Cheng Ning thinks Cheng Yuan is a lot of fun. The man obviously has feelings for him, yet whenever Cheng Ning gets close, he acts as if he can't wait to run away. Cheng Ning finds it amusing to tease him. From time to time, he gets the man to warm his hands and feet, deliberately presses close to his ear and says things like, "If I were a woman, I'd marry a man like you." Then, once the man's ears turn red, he suddenly pulls away. One day, people from the capital come looking for him. As Cheng Ning wonders what to do with Cheng Yuan, he overhears the matchmaker who has come to arrange a marriage patiently urging the taciturn hunter, "You're not young anymore. It's time to start a family." That's right. Cheng Yuan is old enough to marry. He's only a hunter from some poor backwater. There's no reason to feel reluctant. The heir of Ning'an, Xiao Junyan, should return to the capital. * Two years later, rumors spread throughout the capital that the Ning'an heir's residence is recruiting male companions. A man sits on a carved sandalwood throne. He wears a gold crown set with amethyst, leather boots, and tinkling jade ornaments. His embroidered finery still can't outshine his stunning, noble face. Xiao Junyan lazily lifts his eyelids and glances over the "companions" who have come to offer themselves. He's about to pick a couple at random when a servant rushes in to announce: "Your Highness, the Prince of the Southwest has come to pay his respects." The Prince of the Southwest? Xiao Junyan thinks for a moment, then recalls that there is such a person. He has apparently come to the capital recently to discuss military affairs with the emperor. Before he can decide whether to meet the man, he hears unhurried footsteps outside. Xiao Junyan frowns and is about to lose his temper, but stops when he sees the person outside. The man is dressed in luxurious clothes. His features are sharp, and he looks nothing like the rustic villager he once was. He parts his thin lips and says calmly: "I heard that the heir of Xiao is looking for male companions. I came only to ask whether you still remember the husband you left behind in that mountain cabin." Xiao Junyan: ? When did he get a husband? Why doesn't he know about it?
