After Transmigrating, I Gained a Wife - Chapter 11

The matter of the shop had to be settled as quickly as possible. Once she earned money, she first needed to make a trip to Hanxue’s maiden home. If Hanxue’s maidservant was to be brought back, there would not be enough rooms in the house. Building one more room would require not only money but also time. When she had the chance, she would ask which family knew how to build houses.

After preparing hot water, she washed up with her wife and then rested. It had only just entered autumn, so the weather was not cold yet.

Once they lay down on the bed, her wife nestled into her arms. After resting during the day, her wife’s complexion looked much better.

“Hanxue.”

“Mm?” Hanxue lifted her head to look at Luo Yan. “Wu, wuwu…”

!!!

The instant their lips touched, Hanxue felt as if her brain were about to stop working. Luo Yan kissed her until her body felt soft and numb, as if she had been struck by electricity. Was this the feeling described in books as being unable to control one’s emotions? In her heart, she only wanted to stay close to the other person. Husband had not lied to her. Everything Husband had said was now being proven true. Women and women really could develop feelings too.

As Hanxue’s mind went blank, everything that appeared in her thoughts was Husband. Husband painting, buying hair accessories, buying livestock…

These past two days of getting along with her had made Hanxue feel that Husband was a very passionate person. Once she thought something through, she would act on it. A husband like this made one’s heart move. That heart that had once planned to simply drift with the current and observe from the sidelines had also begun beating along with it.

Perhaps it was because this kind of Husband was completely beyond what she had expected. She was a woman, yet Husband’s excellence came from within. She had many, many extraordinary abilities beyond ordinary people. These things had not only amazed Hanxue, but had also been imprinted into her heart through all her interactions with Husband.

After recovering from illness, these two days had truly allowed her to get along properly with Husband.

This person who made her heart move—at the moment her heart moved, she could no longer remember whether this person was male or female.

Last night had been the first time. She had originally thought it would hurt a lot, but in the end, it did not. At first, it hurt a little, and afterward… mm… it did not hurt anymore.

She did not know where her wandering thoughts had gone. Husband teased her until her breathing grew unsteady…

“Hanxue~” Luo Yan, speaking beside Hanxue’s ear, had no idea how alluring her own voice sounded.

Hanxue made Husband look at her. Did she like this face? She liked it. These past two days, she had been moved again and again…

“Husband~” After saying this, Hanxue wrapped her arms around Luo Yan’s neck and kissed her.

Her wife took the initiative to kiss her. It felt like a dream.

This time, her wife had taken the initiative. It was not something Luo Yan had wheedled out of her. It was just that her wife’s kiss was truly too clumsy, yet also very careful and very gentle, so Luo Yan could only work hard to cooperate with her and let her wife take the lead.

After the kiss ended, her wife was breathing softly. Luo Yan’s own task had only just begun…

They slept well through the night. Early in the morning, the only rooster in the courtyard crowed twice. It disturbed her wife so much that she frowned.

Emmm… It seemed this rooster could not be kept.

Rooster: ???

The sunlight today was very good. After Luo Yan got up, made breakfast, and finished eating, she brought food into the room for her wife. Her wife was still sleeping obediently.

“I’m going to the market. I’ve put your food here. Eat first, then rest again.”

So early? “You’re leaving already?”

“Mm, I’m preparing to set off now. Be good. Get up and eat a little first before you keep sleeping. I’m leaving first.”

“Husband~” For some reason, she was a little reluctant to be separated from Husband…

Seeing her wife’s expression, it seemed as if she wanted to go too. “Be good. Wait at home for me to come back.” Luo Yan held her wife as she said it.

“Mm.”

Her wife was so obedient. Luo Yan kissed her wife’s beautiful forehead and set off happily.

After arriving in the county, Luo Yan directly went to the shop Boss Wen had mentioned. The shop was not small, around twenty square meters. Such a large space was enough to sell many things, and there was even a small partitioned room inside the shop.

There was a shop assistant there, arranged by Boss Wen to help. The assistant was called Xiao Xu. He had followed Boss Wen for seven years and was nineteen this year.

After asking the assistant for his information, Luo Yan did not stop for even a moment. First, she went to find someone who made stoves and had them build a stove, leaving Xiao Xu to supervise the work. Then Luo Yan went to buy an iron pot, steamers, ingredients, wine, and so on. Luo Yan bought wine because she planned to make health-preserving wine to sell. When the time came, she would go to the medical hall to get proof, then go to the government office to have it stamped.

At the blacksmith’s shop, Luo Yan bought tools such as knives and scissors. On the way back, Luo Yan thought that the little partitioned room in the shop could have a small couch bed made for it. If she got tired, she could rest there.

The stove was made quickly, and Luo Yan also had someone build a shed. That way, when it rained, it would not affect the use of the stove.

At noon, Luo Yan took Xiao Xu to eat lunch with her. While eating, Luo Yan thought of many other things she needed to buy, such as charcoal, tables, stools, an abacus, and so on.

While making purchases in the afternoon, Luo Yan told Boss Pu the location of her shop. After Boss Pu heard it, he paused for a moment. Luo Yan smiled and said, “I won’t be selling wontons.” Only then did Boss Pu relax.

The signboard would take two days to finish. The tools she had drawn designs for to make pastries would also take two days to finish. Luo Yan did not want to waste time, so she planned to make milk tea and bring it to the shop during the day to sell. She could do a discount promotion to attract customers before the official opening.

Luo Yan did not order many wooden boxes for the pastries. She would mainly use oil paper packaging. Right now, she did not have much silver on hand, so she had to allocate it properly and earn money first.

Selling milk tea also required containers. That afternoon, Luo Yan bought one hundred bamboo tubes, thirty bowls, and thirty wine bowls. After purchasing all of these, Luo Yan spoke with Xiao Xu, then headed back home.

By the time she got home, it was nearly dusk. Luo Yan suddenly recalled that in the original owner’s memories, Hanxue had married in at dusk.

These days, she had been trying to make herself properly integrate into this place. She could no longer return to that world. The company had only been established for two years. She hoped her friend could take good care of it. As long as the employees in the company did not lose their jobs, that would be enough.

My friend, you must live well too!

Thinking about it, her friend should be able to handle it properly. Originally, Luo Yan had not needed to worry too much about the company anyway.

Life in this book world had only just begun. Everything needed to be taken slowly. Hanxue was a very sensible and gentle person. Not only was she beautiful, her heart was also very pure. It was precisely because Hanxue was like this that Luo Yan always could not control her desire to hold her even tighter.

Li Hanxue said, “You’re finally back!” If she had not come back, it would become unsafe to stay outside once the sky darkened.

“Mm.” She looked so happy seeing Luo Yan return.

Mother Luo said, “Rest first now that you’re back. We’ll make dinner later.”

“All right, Mother. I’ll go back to the room and lie down for a while first.” She had spent the entire day walking around the market and making purchases. Now that her footsteps had stopped, her whole body felt uncomfortable. The original owner rarely exercised. Usually, she mostly stayed at home reading books and doing very simple little things. Mother Luo also never let Luo Yan do manual labor, so not exercising really would not do.

Li Hanxue said, “Mother, I’ll go check on Husband.”

Mother Luo said, “Mm. Pour Xiao Yan some tea.” She had probably been tired all day.

Li Hanxue said, “All right, Mother.”

After entering the room, Luo Yan directly lay down on the bed. When Li Hanxue entered and saw how tired Luo Yan looked, her heart filled with distress. Quietly, she went to pour Husband a cup of warm boiled water.

“Drink some water.”

Luo Yan sat up. Seeing her wife pour water for her made her heart feel very warm. “Okay.”

Li Hanxue asked, “Do you want more?”

“Mm.” Luo Yan nodded and said.

Li Hanxue poured three or four cups for Luo Yan in a row. “Why did you come back so late? Did you run into some difficulty?”

Luo Yan smiled at her worried wife. “Don’t worry. There was no difficulty. I bought many things today, and almost everything has been prepared.”

“So fast?” So fast! Husband had already handled almost everything!

Luo Yan said, “Yes. Later, I’ll prepare the ingredients. Tomorrow morning, I’ll make some milk tea and take it there to sell first.” This way, she could earn some money first.

Li Hanxue was shocked by Luo Yan’s efficiency. She quickly put down the cup and walked toward Luo Yan. “You’re opening tomorrow?”

Wasn’t that too fast!

Luo Yan reached out and pulled her wife into her arms, having her sit on her lap. “Mm. Tomorrow, we’ll have Mother go with us.”

“All right.”

“I’ll get down. You should rest properly.”

Hearing this, Luo Yan held her wife a little tighter. “I can rest properly like this too. Don’t move around.”

Hanxue, whose ears were flushed red: “…Mm.”

Luo Yan leaned against the side of the bed and closed her eyes to rest for about half an hour. Hanxue quietly stayed in Luo Yan’s arms, looking at her husband.

Dressed as a man, Husband’s thick eyebrows made her look very heroic. Husband had double eyelids. Now that her eyes were closed, Hanxue could only see Husband’s eyelashes. Husband’s eyelashes were not as long as her own, but they were very thick.

Of course Luo Yan knew that her wife had been looking at her the whole time. Her wife touched her eyebrows, the bridge of her nose…

It felt ticklish. Mm, and she even kissed Luo Yan’s chin…

Luo Yan almost failed to hold back and open her eyes. Fortunately, she endured it…

When she opened her eyes, her wife was still looking at her seriously.

Li Hanxue asked, “Are your legs not sore? You were tired all day today.” Yet she still insisted on holding her while resting. Really.

“They’re not sore. Wife is so light. You have to eat more.” Her wife was still at the age of growing. In another two years, when her wife fully bloomed, she would become even more beautiful!

Husband suddenly called her wife~

Li Hanxue said, “Mm. I won’t let myself go hungry. Put me down.”

“Mm~ Wife, kiss me once and I’ll let go.”

…

Considering you were tired all day!

Feeling her wife’s breathing move closer, Luo Yan had not expected her wife to kiss her mouth~

Sweet. Hehe~

During dinner, Luo Yan said that Mother Luo should come with her tomorrow. Not to work, but to know where their family’s shop was. After dinner, Luo Yan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, then prepared the materials she needed.

Hanxue washed up first and lay on the bed waiting for Luo Yan to finish working and return. That night, Luo Yan did not trouble her wife. After a deep kiss, Luo Yan held her wife and calmed her breathing, then they slept well until dawn.

Early in the morning, Luo Yan got up.

“Sleep a little longer,” she said when she saw her wife also wake up.

“Mm~”

After breakfast, Luo Yan began busily making milk tea. First, she milked the cow. Today, the cow was also very cooperative and produced quite a lot of milk. Based on this amount, she could make several dozen bowls. Really not bad!

The finished milk tea was placed into ceramic jars. It took two jars to hold all of it.

Afraid the jolting would knock them around, Mother Luo specially placed straw underneath.

When they reached the market, there were already many people. The assistant, Xiao Xu, was already waiting at the shop. The bamboo tubes that had been boiled yesterday afternoon had dried after a whole night. Sterilized.

Xiao Xu carried the milk tea inside, and Luo Yan also took out the sign she had written last night and placed it in front of the shop:

Pre-opening warm-up: Milk tea sold at half price!

After setting it up, Luo Yan called together Xiao Xu, her wife, and Mother Luo for a meeting.

Milk tea would be sold at three wen per bamboo tube. After the discount ended, it would be sold for six wen. For customers who wanted to take it home, the bamboo tube would require an extra one-wen deposit. If they returned the bamboo tube, the deposit would be refunded. If they did not return the bamboo tube, after recording ten repeat milk tea purchases, the bamboo tube deposit would be refunded and the bamboo tube would be gifted to them.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Xu and Mother were both a little dizzy. Her wife seemed to understand, yet also seemed a little dizzy too!

Author’s Note:

Luo Yan: Pre-opening warm-up, half price. Author, add one serving for me.

Author: Sigh~ What a pity, I have no money~

Luo Yan: “…”
