Her voice was lazy, provocative, and a hint of dominance.
On such a rainy night, her action was clearly seductive.
Ye Ge was also staring at Nan Feng, the glint in his eyes gradually focused and was growing more intense.
After a while, he suddenly threw the umbrella in his hands into the yard, and then embraced Nan Feng…
The night was as cool as water.
Yet in the pavilion, love lingered for the entire night.
…
After some preparation, Nan Feng finally embarked on her journey to Wanjincun County.
While packing, Feng Gu had a hard time saying goodbye to Nan Feng, she hesitated for a long time before finally asking a question, “Sister Nan Feng, I’ve heard my aunt next door say that for a girl, finding a good husband is the most important thing. Now you have Ye Ge, and Spikenard Square has also been expanded a lot, so you have a decent life. Why are you still working so hard? Isn’t it better to live peacefully while supporting and educating your kids?”
Nan Feng finished packing her clothes, draped a fox fur cloak over her, and then turned to look at Feng Gu, “Feng Gu, you might not understand what I’m about to say, but I still want to say it. I’m not saying that Ye Ge is unreliable, but us women are not accessories to men, we are not born to live for men. You have to live the life you want. If you think finding a good husband and supporting him and educating your children for a lifetime is what you want, then so be it. As for me … I enjoy the process of strengthening myself step by step, it may be tiresome, but such a life is rich.”
Actually, when Nan Feng first arrived in Daping village, she also felt that leading a plain and simple life was enough. But after she went through a broken engagement, faced mountain bandits, suffered disdain in the county town, and the trouble caused by Wan Fengzhen, she concluded one point: a quiet life is true, but one needs to have great strength to maintain such tranquility. Without it, once someone tries to harm you, you’ll have no way to fight back and your peaceful life will be shattered.
Just like some modern-day villas, farmers live peacefully their whole lives, thinking it would stay that way forever. But, when disasters or accidents strike, it’s always the most vulnerable people who get affected the most.
No matter when or where, only when you bee stronger and gain respect can you win more respect.
More importantly, she loves challenges and being stronger through them.
Feng Gu of course, did not prehend fully. Seeing her staring wide-eyed and bewildered, Nan Feng knew she didn’t understand. Nan Feng then patted Feng Gu on the shoulder, “It’s okay if you don’t understand. While I’m gone, you just need to sell the goods and keep the accounts properly. If there are any questions, ask Li Moxiu. Also, I’ve made a list for him to grind the medicinal herbs we’ll need later. Remember to remind him for me.”
Feng Gu nodded twice, “Hmm, hmm.”
…
Wanjincun County is separated from Heping by a river, but they both belong to the same province. Going to Wanjincun County requires taking a boat. There’s a passenger boat every two hours, and freight ships have no limit and set off when fully loaded.
This was Nan Feng’s first time at the dock. Ancient technology for building bridges and roads were not as advanced as modern times, so water transport was pretty important. The dock was bustling with merchants and sellers ing and going. Even though it was early winter with light rain, the dock remained vibrant with busy porters everywhere.
