After Transmigrating, I Gained a Wife - Chapter 7

Wen Liang said, “Master, you really are different from other people.” If it were another teacher, they would all take money before teaching.

Luo Yan said, “Other people?” Hahaha, if everyone were the same, how boring would that be? “When doing things, you have to have your own methods. Other people’s methods and words can be used as reference, but you can’t copy them completely!”

Wen Liang said, “Master is very right.” If one copied everything, one would lose one’s own judgment.

Luo Yan said, “Wen Liang, when being a person~ you must have great love.” Things that could benefit more people could be fought for. As for things that benefited oneself, they must not harm others!

Wen Liang said, “Wen Liang will remember it.”

A child worth teaching indeed. Luo Yan said, “There’s no rush with the homework. Take my painting back first to copy and think over. If you have questions, come ask me.”

Wen Liang said, “All right, Master.”

After the two finished talking, Luo Yan and Wen Liang moved everything back into the courtyard. Outside, villagers kept passing back and forth, so it was rather inconvenient.

/

After they finished moving everything, Luo Yan let Wen Liang continue studying by himself. As for herself~ she ran over and squeezed beside her wife.

Luo Yan said, “Wife, wait for me a moment. I’ll make you something delicious to drink.” Although she did not drink tea, she drank milk tea! Her good disciple had brought tea leaves, which were perfect for making milk tea. Aiya~ She could drink milk tea now. Hahaha, she really wanted to hum a song.

Li Hanxue asked, “Something delicious to drink?” What was this person trying to make now?

Seeing her wife’s confused little gaze, Luo Yan deliberately went around in circles and did not tell her.

Luo Yan squeezed some milk, then prepared the sugar and tea leaves. After that, she ran to the kitchen doorway and called her wife over to tend the stove.

Mother Luo said, “How can you make Hanxue tend the stove? What if she gets hurt?” Hanxue had also been a young lady in the Li family. No matter what, she should not be tending the stove herself!

Li Hanxue said, “Mother, I want to try. Let me go.” Tending the stove should not be hard, right?

After being scolded by Mother, Luo Yan did not dare answer. She scratched her head.

Mother Luo said, “All right then. Just be careful and don’t hurt yourself.” Tending the stove was not something to fool around with.

Li Hanxue said, “All right, Mother. You can stay here and watch Wen Liang paint for a while.”

Mother Luo said, “Mm, go on.” After saying that, Mother Luo rolled her eyes at Luo Yan. Luo Yan smiled and followed her wife into the kitchen.

Li Hanxue sat down. About two minutes passed, and she still had not managed to light the fire. Her heart felt a little embarrassed, and she was too ashamed to say it out loud. “Luo Yan~ I… can’t light the fire.”

Luo Yan went to bring the oil over. She had not expected her silly wife to have already started trying to light the fire. Hahaha, but she had not lit it.

Luo Yan said, “I haven’t started yet. Don’t rush. Oh right, Wife?” Looking at her wife, she smiled.

Li Hanxue could not figure out why Luo Yan had suddenly called her. “Mm?”

Luo Yan said, “Will Wife call me Husband from now on?”

…This… In front of this person, she was a little unable to say it out loud. “Hus… band.”

Luo Yan said, “Mm! Come, I’ll do it.” Li Hanxue gave her place to Luo Yan and let her demonstrate.

Luo Yan said, “Wife, look. About half like this is enough.” This way, the fire would be just right and would not hurt her.

Li Hanxue said, “Okay~”

Luo Yan stir-fried the tea leaves until they turned a burnt yellow, then added sugar. After it melted, she poured in the milk. Li Hanxue added two handfuls of firewood, and it was done. After Luo Yan filtered out the tea leaves, it could be drunk directly.

Luo Yan said, “Wife, hurry and come taste it.”

Li Hanxue tried a sip. It had a very fragrant milky aroma, and the taste also stimulated her taste buds. The flavor of the tea leaves was still there, but it was not obvious. It tasted very good, fragrant and sweet.

“It’s so good!”

Hehe~ Who could not love milk tea? Sure enough, her wife loved drinking it too. “Drink more, Wife.”

Li Hanxue said, “Mm, okay.” It was delicious. After one sip, she wanted to take another.

Luo Yan said, “Wife.”

Li Hanxue looked at Luo Yan but did not speak.

Silly wife, there was milk tea at the corner of her mouth. “Don’t move.” Li Hanxue looked at Luo Yan and really did not move. Luo Yan quickly leaned over and licked the corner of her wife’s lips. Li Hanxue immediately froze!

Seeing that her wife had gone dazed, Luo Yan leaned over again and licked the other corner of her wife’s lips. Then she happily looked at her silly wife.

Seeing Luo Yan looking at her, Li Hanxue came back to her senses. She looked at Luo Yan shyly, not knowing what to say to her.

Luo Yan said, “Drink slowly. You got some on the corners of your mouth. I’ll go bring some for Mother and Wen Liang to try too.”

After Luo Yan left, Li Hanxue sat down with a flushed face. She began drinking the milk tea in small sips, not wanting to get any on the corners of her mouth again.

Li Hanxue: Luo Yan is too bad. If there was something on the corner of my mouth, she could have just told me. She actually, actually used her mouth… to… What if… what if Mother had come in? That would have been terrible! No, I have to talk to Luo Yan about this later.

Luo Yan said, “Mother, try this and see if you like it.”

Mother Luo accepted it and said, “All right, I’ll try it.”

Luo Yan said, “Wen Liang, stop painting for now. Come over and try this.”

After Wen Liang saw it, he immediately put down his brush. He walked toward Luo Yan and accepted it. “Thank you, Master.”

Luo Yan said, “No need to thank me. This is made with milk and tea leaves. It’s called milk tea. Try it and see if it tastes good.”

Wen Liang took a sip and immediately felt that it was extremely delicious. “Master, this milk tea is too good!”

Mother Luo said, “Mm, it is quite good. The taste is a little sweet, so I can’t drink too much.”

Luo Yan said, “Yes, Mother. Sugar was added to make this. Mother shouldn’t drink too much, and that will be fine.”

After Luo Yan delivered it, she went to find her wife. Seeing the milk tea in her wife’s bowl, it was already finished. “Do you still want more?”

Li Hanxue said, “Mm, just a little more.”

Luo Yan said, “All right, give me the bowl and I’ll pour you some.” After Luo Yan took the bowl, she poured out all that was left. It happened to make exactly one bowl.

When Li Hanxue saw it, she became anxious. “That’s so much. I won’t be able to finish it.”

Luo Yan said, “It’s fine. You drink first. If there’s any left and you can’t drink it, I’ll drink it.”

Li Hanxue said, “All right then.” She really could not understand why this person insisted on drinking from the same bowl as her.

Li Hanxue asked, “What is this called?” It should have a name, right?

Luo Yan said, “Milk tea. It’s called milk tea. If Wife likes drinking it, I’ll make it for you again whenever you want it in the future.” As Luo Yan spoke, she looked at her wife.

Li Hanxue grew shy and lowered her head to drink the milk tea. After taking a few small sips, she handed it to Luo Yan. “I’m not drinking anymore.”

After Luo Yan accepted it, she gulped it down in just a few mouthfuls. Li Hanxue watched from the side until she was stunned. It felt as if Luo Yan had never drunk anything before.

After putting down the bowl, Luo Yan realized her wife was still looking at her. She leaned over and kissed her wife on the mouth, then happily went out.

…Why did she kiss her again? Really! In just this short while, she had taken advantage of her several times.

After Luo Yan went out, Wen Liang had already finished drinking. Mother still had a little left and had not finished.

After cleaning up, everyone sat in the courtyard. Luo Yan asked Wen Liang about his family’s general situation.

Wen Liang also had an elder sister who had already married. Wen Liang was nineteen this year, and he would still take the imperial exam this year. He said he had failed the exam last year. Luo Yan said she would help him study and then take the imperial exam. After hearing that, Wen Liang was extremely happy.

When Wen Liang learned that his master was only seventeen, he was also startled. Master was tall, and she looked about the same age as him. If Master had not said it, he really would not have known she was two years younger than him.

Wen Liang was also already married. When he came today, Wen Liang’s wife had also wanted to come along. Wen Liang did not allow it, so she had not come.

Luo Yan said, “Next time, if your wife wants to come with you, don’t stop her. If she comes, she can chat with my wife too.”

Wen Liang said, “All right, Master.” He had not expected Master to allow a student to bring his wife along too.

Luo Yan said, “If your wife comes, she can also learn with you. In the future, after you pass the imperial exam, if she knows how to read, not only can she help you manage the household matters afterward, she can also help you. Wen Liang, only when husband and wife grow together can they go farther.”

Wen Liang said, “Yes, Master. Next time, I will bring my wife with me.” Master was very right. The household’s food, drink, and expenses all cost money. After learning to read, she would be able to manage things better.

At noon, after eating lunch, Luo Yan and Wen Liang set off together. Wen Liang returned home, while Luo Yan went to the market to buy the illustrated booklet. While she was at it, Luo Yan also needed to go to Boss Pu’s place. This way, Boss Pu would not need to make a trip to her home.

Wen Liang said, “Master, I’ll head back now.”

Luo Yan said, “All right.”

After Wen Liang left, Luo Yan first went to buy the illustrated booklet. Then she bought some vegetables, as well as meat and ribs. Luo Yan bought a bit more ribs so she could make braised ribs and soup.

When she was leaving, Luo Yan saw apples for sale and bought some too.

When she arrived at Boss Pu’s place, Boss Pu was busy. Luo Yan did not say much and directly went over to help.

After they were busy for more than an hour straight, the number of people finally decreased. “There are quite a lot of people today.”

Boss Pu said, “There are more people today, but it isn’t like this every day.”

Luo Yan said, “That’s only natural. I came over today, so this afternoon, you won’t have to make a trip to my place.”

Boss Pu said, “That’s perfect.” It saved him from having to make another troublesome trip.

Luo Yan said, “Yes. I bought ingredients again. I’ll teach you here.”

Boss Pu said, “The shrimp you used yesterday is still here.” He did not know how to make it taste good, so he had not dared to touch it.

Luo Yan said, “That works out perfectly.”

Luo Yan had Boss Pu watch her make it once. After explaining the key points, Luo Yan had Boss Pu make it himself.

After Boss Pu finished making it, he tasted it. He felt that something was off with the flavor, then looked at Luo Yan. Luo Yan also tasted it. The problem lay in the seasonings.

Luo Yan said, “The seasonings are a bit too heavy, and the proportions are also wrong.”

At the seasoning step, Luo Yan carefully explained it again. Boss Pu made it once more, and the flavor improved a lot. At this level, Boss Pu felt that it could already be sold.

Luo Yan told Boss Pu to practice more. He could sell it while practicing. Later, when more customers came, Luo Yan made the bowls and served them out. Luo Yan earned back the money she had spent on the ingredients she bought.

Boss Pu naturally had nothing to say about that and even let Luo Yan keep all the money from the few bowls she had made. Luo Yan did not refuse either and accepted it.

They had talked over just about everything they needed to. Luo Yan and Boss Pu quickly went through things once more, then she headed straight home.

After dinner that night, Father Luo asked Luo Yan whether she had bought it. Hearing Luo Yan say she had bought it, he thought to himself that she really had been in a hurry. She truly had gone to the market the very next day and bought it back.

Li Hanxue ate the rib soup Luo Yan made and was very happy. The ribs were delicious, and the soup was delicious too.

After Luo Yan lay down on the bed, she saw her wife looking at her with a smile on her face. She could not figure out what had made her so happy.

Li Hanxue asked, “Can you still make rib soup tomorrow?” It really was delicious.

Her wife was this easily conquered by a bowl of rib soup? Good heavens, Luo Yan had not even started getting happy yet. “I can, but?” Luo Yan pulled her into her arms and held her tightly.

Li Hanxue asked, “But what?”

Luo Yan said, “But we haven’t handled the proper business yet.” Before Li Hanxue could react, Luo Yan had already sealed Li Hanxue’s mouth, kissing her.
