My Husband Comes from the Future Chapter 141.3

Chapter 141: Coming Back 3/4

Magistrate Guo didn’t know what his wife was thinking and said, “Wife, your appetite is really bad… It’s been a long time since dinner, and I’m already hungry.”

The sesame balls did smell really good, so Magistrate Guo went to buy one.

When he first arrived in Chongcheng County, Magistrate Guo didn’t speak the local dialect very well, but now he could.

He was the academic overachiever who could pass the imperial examination every three years!

The sesame balls were deep-fried and coated with sugar and sesame seeds. They weren’t cheap, but they were truly delicious… Magistrate Guo enjoyed them very much.

Mrs. Guo kept her distance, afraid of getting oil stains on her clothes.

After buying the sesame balls, Magistrate Guo asked his wife if she wanted anything else… but Mrs. Guo declined.

Mother Yang, noticing that her mistress was feeling uncomfortable, said to Magistrate Guo, “Sir, the madam isn’t feeling well… Is there a place nearby where she can rest her feet?”

“There is. Zhu Qian has reserved a private room in the restaurant up ahead for me. Madam, you can take a rest there,” Magistrate Guo said. “Zhu Qian’s wife is also there, so you can have a chat with her.”

Mrs. Guo felt even more uncomfortable upon hearing this. Her husband had asked her to entertain Jin Xiaoye earlier, and now he was asking her to talk to a merchant’s wife…

Mother Yang couldn’t help rolling her eyes secretly, but since Magistrate Guo was present, she didn’t say anything.

Magistrate Guo led his wife and daughters towards the restaurant. “The one with the rabbit lanterns is Zhu Qian’s shop. He was born in the Year of the Rabbit, and so was his wife…”

As they walked, Magistrate Guo heard someone praising him, “The magistrate has organized such a beautiful lantern festival.”

“The magistrate is really amazing!”

“The magistrate’s son is also very clever and smart!”

Magistrate Guo felt pleased to hear this and unconsciously puffed out his chest, but unfortunately, his belly protruded more than his chest.

“Wife…” Magistrate Guo wanted to show off to his wife, but Mrs. Guo didn’t look very comfortable.

He also thought about how Mrs. Guo couldn’t understand what the people of Chongcheng County were saying and didn’t know what they were saying… so Magistrate Guo didn’t say anything after all.

The restaurant they went to was owned by Zhu Qian.

Magistrate Guo asked his wife to talk to Zhu Qian’s wife, but Zhu Qian wouldn’t arrange for Magistrate Guo’s wife to be with his own wife… He arranged the best private room for Mrs. Guo and prepared some snacks from Mrs. Guo’s hometown.

Once inside the private room, Mrs. Guo finally felt a little better.

“Wife, if you’re not feeling well, just rest here. I’ll go for a stroll,” Magistrate Guo said as he was about to leave.

“Dad,” Magistrate Guo’s younger daughter called out.

Magistrate Guo snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his two daughters. “Shuyun, Shuyu, do you want to come with me to play?”

Magistrate Guo’s younger daughter immediately said, “Yes.”

His older daughter didn’t say anything, but her face was filled with anticipation.

Mrs. Guo said, “Sir, it’s better for the girls to stay with me since they’re girls. Once I’ve rested for a while, I’ll take them out to play.”

Hearing his wife’s words, Magistrate Guo said, “Alright, you take care of them then.” He had less contact with his two daughters compared to his son.

They were his daughters after all, and he quite liked them, but he really didn’t know how to interact with them.

And so, Magistrate Guo left. Mrs. Guo felt even more aggrieved. “He just left me here like this.”

Mother Yang said, “Sir doesn’t know how to be considerate… There’s nothing we can do about it, madam. Please bear with it.”

“Sigh…” Mrs. Guo sighed as she looked out the window.

There were many mosquitoes here, she couldn’t understand the people’s conversations, and she wasn’t accustomed to the things here.

She really didn’t like this place.

“The master doesn’t know what he’s doing, always mingling with the commoners and merchants…” Mother Yang complained quietly.

Mrs. Guo felt even more melancholy. Her two daughters were a bit at a loss, so they could only watch the bustling scene outside while snacking.

They actually really wanted to taste all the miscellaneous things their father had eaten before.

When Zhu Qian heard that Mrs. Guo had come to the restaurant, he sent over a few exquisite little lanterns and wanted his own wife to go talk to Mrs. Guo.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Guo didn’t call for her own wife to come over, and he couldn’t possibly force his wife to join Mrs. Guo without her consent, so he had to give up on that plan.

Coincidentally, after Li Qingzhi and his group had been strolling for over two hours and had already gotten tired and come to the restaurant to rest, Chang Zhan had his own wife go talk to Jin Xiaoye.

Mrs. Chang was used to a life of luxury and didn’t go out much. She was also introverted, quite the opposite of Jin Xiaoye.

But Jin Xiaoye took the initiative to talk to her, so she was quite enthusiastic, and the two of them chatted quite well.

While they were chatting, Li Damao and Li Ermao had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

They were too excited, not only eating a lot but also running around everywhere, so their energy was completely depleted.

“These two kids are really cute,” Mrs. Chang pinched the face of Li Damao, who was sleeping on the makeshift bench.

She quite liked children, but unfortunately, after giving birth to three children, she never got pregnant again.

However, Mr. Chang was quite happy about this.

Mr. Chang had always worried that having too many children would not leave enough inheritance. Although his family was very wealthy, he wanted his son to be even richer.

While Mrs. Chang and Jin Xiaoye were talking, Li Qingzhi and Chang Zhan went to the next private room to eat and also chatted about Zhu Xunmiao studying at the Chongwen Academy.

As for the others… Chang Cui also fell asleep, so Chang Zhan took her to the preserved meat stall to rest, while Li Laogen and Guo Ying were still playing outside.

After chatting with Chang Zhan for a while, Guo Ying came over, accompanied by Chang Zhan’s daughter.

The two didn’t know each other and didn’t play together. It was just a coincidence that they met when they entered the restaurant.

Miss Chang went into her mother’s private room and began talking about everything she had eaten and bought. As for Guo Ying who came in with her, she didn’t even notice.

Guo Ying also didn’t pay attention to Miss Chang. He was just entering the room when Mrs. Guo asked, “Ying’er, who’s the young lady who came back with you?”

Guo Ying was puzzled, “How would I know?”

Mrs. Guo asked a few more questions to make sure Guo Ying didn’t know her, then asked Mother Yang to go find out.

Mother Yang quickly found out, “Madam, that young lady is Mr. Chang’s daughter.”

Mrs. Guo reminded Guo Ying upon hearing this, “Ying’er, you need to be careful. Don’t be deceived by those young ladies…”

Even if Guo Ying is worthless, Mrs. Guo still wouldn’t want him to marry a merchant’s daughter.

That would be too embarrassing. How could she face people in the future?

Guo Ying was dumbfounded. Despite all the lanterns around, the night was so dark he couldn’t see what people looked like at all!

Nobody even glanced at him or spoke to him!

In the midst of his rebellious phase, Guo Ying immediately became unhappy. “Mom, why are you talking nonsense! How can you think like that about others!”

Guo Ying felt his mother was being unreasonable, so he decided to go find Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi treated him like an adult and never lectured him with a bunch of words!

He had actually wanted to find Li Qingzhi from the start. He only went to see his mother after meeting his father on the way, knowing that his mother was also there.

When Guo Ying arrived at Li Qingzhi’s side, he saw Li Qingzhi eating.

He was astonished, “You can still eat!”

During the lantern festival, Li Qingzhi had bought a lot of food!

Li Qingzhi said, “I have a good appetite.”

Guo Ying used to think he ate a bit too much, but now… he ate so little!

Li Qingzhi was the true foodie!

Soon, Guo Ying forgot about the matter and started cheerfully saying, “Brother Li, I heard many people say my handwriting is good!”

“Your handwriting is indeed good,” Li Qingzhi said. When Guo Ying wrote seriously, his handwriting was quite neat.
