After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Xiao Yunyue calculated his time very well, and he paid to charter He Guang's boat for a whole day.

After he and Yuan Miaoyi finished their meal, they could still walk around and see the setting sun on the boat when they went back.

He Guang took a day's money and was able to rest on the boat most of the time, which of course felt good.

When doing things with money, He Guang is naturally attentive. So when we sent them ashore, we specifically reminded them that if they were lucky, they could encounter the unique peach blossom mandarin fish in Yuanshui here, and it was still in season.

Standing on the shore, you can already see the wine flag of the restaurant.

After Xiao Yunyue thanked He Guang, he and Yuan Miaoyi walked towards the direction where the wine flag was fluttering.

Yuan Miaoyi is wearing a sky-blue long skirt today. The skirt is layered like lake water. It is very beautiful, but it is a little easy to get dirty.

Fortunately, this restaurant must be very famous nearby, so the paths along the way are paved with bluestone slabs.

The restaurant is indeed not big, just three small bungalows with a small yard. However, everything was cleaned very well. The wood of the tables and chairs looked old, but there were no oil stains on them.

Although it's not dinner time yet, several tables of guests are already sitting in the room. They were lucky. Not only did they order the last peach blossom mandarin fish, but they also happened to sit in the corner by the window.

This location is quite quiet in the house, and you can see the river view from the window.

This restaurant seemed to be a small shop run by a family. After the lady boss asked them to sit down, she apologized slightly and said that there were several tables of customers in front of them, so the food might be served a little slower.

The two of them were traveling leisurely, and Yuan Miaoyi was in a good mood today, so she didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Just as they sat down, Xiao Yunyue and Yuan Miaoyi heard the table next to them discussing the reconciliation of the Duan and Xiao families.

As two big families with famous names in Qingzhou, the recent divorce between the two families has been making a lot of noise.

Especially when the Duan family initially announced that they wanted to divorce their wife, but later when they heard about the arrival of someone from the capital, they lowered their heads and changed their tune and said divorce. Although outsiders are not fully aware of the twists and turns, they can more or less guess.

In recent days, there has been peace in the DPRK, and there have been no state affairs worthy of discussion. The Duan family's son spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, and it was somewhat related to romance, so it naturally became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Not many people knew about the inner courtyard. Duan Zhichen's reputation of doting on his concubines and destroying his wives could spread in Qingzhou, and naturally the third lady's work was indispensable behind it.

The third lady is not someone who likes to stir up trouble. Just seeing how gentle and restrained Xiao Liuhua was taught, you can also see some of the third lady's character.

It's just that although the third lady doesn't like to cause trouble, she is not someone who is afraid of trouble. After Xiao Liuhua was pushed down by Duan Zhichen and had a miscarriage, the third lady knew that the marriage had come to an end as soon as she took her daughter back.

So she immediately told the whole story, otherwise outsiders would speculate, which would be detrimental to Xiao Liuhua's reputation.

Now outsiders know that the two families divorced because Duan Zhichen doted on his concubine, killed his wife, and even caused his first wife to miscarry. Naturally, the reputation of Sir Duan and Mrs. Duan as a godchild cannot be escaped.

It's very despicable to say this kind of thing, especially if the rules in the family are so messed up. If Duan Zhichen wants to marry another person in the future, many people with similar thresholds will shy away.

Mrs. Duan insisted on divorcing her wife at that time, and she was more or less angry because of this reason. Although the Duan family is now trying their best to calm down the matter, now that the matter has been spread, they naturally cannot stop others from talking about it.

Yuan Miaoyi heard the people at the table next to her whispering about whether Mr. Duan was old and confused, Mrs. Duan was also confused, and Duan Zhichen was naturally of low character and could not be taught, so she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yunyue. One glance, and then both the couple smiled.

Although the third branch of the Xiao family was engaged in business in Qingzhou, there were officials in the neighboring houses. Especially in Dafang in the capital, two generations of father and son were the ones who guarded the border and opened up territory for the Yan Dynasty.

What's more, Sanfang has opened roads and bridges in the local area, done a lot of good deeds, and has always had a good reputation. Xiao Liuhua was also known as a generous and gentle person when he was at home. It’s really obvious who the public opinion will turn towards.

Xiao Yunyue whispered to Yuan Miaoyi: "Third aunt said yesterday that she would take back all the dowry given by cousin Liuhua according to the order."

The three families were rich in business, and Xiao Liuhua was the youngest girl. When she got married, the dowry was very generous. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a red dowry for ten miles.

After all, Xiao Liuhua had lived in the Duan family for several years, so the dowry was naturally different from the list when she got married.

But from what the third lady said, it seemed like the Duan family would have to compensate the Xiao family if the amount was insufficient.

Yuan Miaoyi also lowered her voice and replied: "Can the Duan family agree? I don't think the Duan family's wealth is rich."

Although Mrs. Duan believed that her family was an aristocratic family, Master Duan's official position was not high, and the entire family had actually gradually declined. When Yuan Miaoyi went to the Duan family that day, she could tell just by looking at the furnishings in the flower hall.

Xiao Yunyue replied calmly: "It's not up to them to agree or not. They can't just bow their heads and agree to divorce."

The girls of the Xiao family have all been stepped on and bullied in the face, so it is already considered a light thing to ask the Duan family to pay some money.

The matter has been settled, and the couple just talked about it for a while and didn't mention it again.

Restaurants that are famous for cooking fish in a place that thrives on water do have some skills. Even though the dishes eaten at Xiao's house these days are very rich, the taste in these small restaurants is obviously not something that any cook can imitate. .

The peach blossom mandarin fish is very fresh and tender, the stir-fried seasonal vegetables are also very refreshing, and the dishes really have a unique flavor.

Xiao Yunyue's timing was perfect, and they did see the sunset on the boat on the way back.

The bloody setting sun spread on the river, like a flame burning under the water. When the water ripples, you can still see the gold in the folds.

Yuan Miaoyi stared at the scenery in front of her in a daze. At this time, there was already some night wind blowing on the river. Xiao Yunyue took the person into his arms and blocked the wind from him. He just stayed with Yuan Miao quietly. He stayed with Yi until the sun completely set.

After the sky darkened, the two of them just landed ashore, and the Xiao family's carriage was waiting at the pier.

Xiao Yunyue did not ask Yuan Miaoyi what she was obsessed with just now. Although the two of them were very close, Xiao Yunyue did not require his wife to be honest with him about everything. He could understand that Yuan Miaoyi might have secrets in her heart that she could not reveal to anyone.

He just said to his wife: "Outside Jinyun City, there is an even more magnificent sunset than today. I will take you to see it then."

Yuan Miaoyi looked at Xiao Yunyue intently for a while, and then said softly: "Okay."
