The Marquis' Wife
Do you want to continue studying?

"So you want to ask for my help" Uncle Xu's eyebrows shot up next door.

Adelia nodded while smiling innocently. "Yes uncle. I'm sure with the connection you have, it's not hard to gather those acid oblongs"

Uncle Xu's lips pulsed speechless but he still agreed to Adelia's request. "I'll keep setting prices and transportation costs". No one wants the tamarind oblong fruit because the sour taste is a little sweet and the skin of the fruit inside can be tasted like candy. Not many people want to buy this fruit.

Adelia's smile grew. "That's definitely uncle. Thanks uncle".

Uncle Xu simply shook his head, inwardly he would also experiment how the fruit could produce a delicious liquid chocolate.

Lu Xiang and Lu Cheng stared in shock at Adelia, both of them not expecting that this chocolate can make a lot of money in just one sale. While Lu Shan focused on the chocolate milkshake with the cream whipped top on the brown mash on the table, he pulled Adelia's shirt and whispered. "Sister, I also want that misyek chocolate"

Adelia laughed funnyly and asked Uncle Xu for permission to make chocolate milkshakes for Lu Shan and Lu Cheng.

"Use what you like" Uncle Xu waved his uncaring hand and returned to drinking the chocolate milkshake. Summer is perfect for drinking this drink.

Lu Cheng and Lu Shan were also amazed and fell in love with the Milkshake chocolate that Adelia made. The mouths of the two were filled with whipped cream that looked like a white beard making Adelia and Lu Xiang smile amusedly.

"Let's go shopping" Invite Adelia enthusiastically. This was his first time making money in this world and did not want to spend it immediately.

"Our food is still there".

Adelia nodded in disagreement. "We have to buy clothes, sandals, blankets and cookware".

Lu Xiang wanted to restrain Adelia from spending money on useless items but seeing the enthusiastic face of his wife, he reduced his intentions.

They also chose a set of ordinary clothes for her, Lu Xiang and her sister and two sets of winter clothes. Adelia chose bright colors like blue and yellow for her and heavy calm colors for Lu Xiang such as dark blue and green.

"We should make our own shoes. We can pay to Aunt Lin to make us shoes and sandals" Lu Xiang pulled Adelia's arm and whispered after seeing the price of a pair was a 10-coin-copper shoe.

Adelia thought for a moment and nodded. He only paid for one pair of shoes. "Lu Cheng and Lu Shan were not in good shoes. It's okay to buy one to wear immediately". Persuaded him when he saw the resigned gaze of her husband.

After spending two hours and spending almost 4 silver coins. Lu Xiang brought their shopping to the ox cart that had been waiting.

The citizens who did not do much shopping and waited on the carriage were shocked to see the many items Lu Xiang had brought.

"You're shopping a lot Lu Xiang" envious gazes emanated clearly in their eyes.

"I found a little ginseng in the forest" Lu Xiang replied simply, he could not tell about the chocolate that Adelia made and could only reason because she was a 'reasonable' hunter' if you get something valuable in the forest.

They were shocked too. Ginseng!! Herbs were able to save her life at critical times. Of course, it can be sold at a high price.

Jealousy began to enter the hearts of the citizens but they could not do anything and were disappointed because they were not the ones who found the valuable plant.

"You're very lucky".

"Where did you get it?"

"Do you still have Lu Xiang's ginseng?"

Various questions invaded Lu Xiang who was discussed with just the word 'no' then nodded politely to the residents and picked up Adelia and her sisters who were still guarding the other items.

News of Lu Xiang buying many items as well as that he found ginseng spread throughout the villagers. They flocked to see Lu Xiang stuffing groceries into the house and commented wryly and thinly and envied the young man.

The Miao family heard that and were shocked.

"Ginseng!!" Grandma Lan exclaimed in disbelief.

"They must be selling at a high price" continued Li Mei, the Miao family's first son-in-law, she clasped a skirt full of envy.

"Mother-in-law. You can ask Adelia for your part" Lien Hua said with a happy face.

Grandma Lan glanced at her two daughters-in-law and then turned the eyeballs off guard. "That money Lu Xiang is not Adelia" Murong dynasty law is that married daughters will be members of the male family and the female's parents can't force anything against their child. Therefore it is not surprising that many patriarchal families in this era.

"But Adelia can ask Lu Xiang for it" Li Mei replied. He was so envious to see the things that Lu Xiang brought home.

Grandma Lan was only silent yet her eyes flashed thinking of something.

At Lu Xiang's house, Lu Shan whined about the cake Adelia bought and sat quietly after it was placed on the dining table.

"Sister. You try the cake too. It's so sweet" Lu Shan thrust his hand into Adelia's mouth, now her brother-in-law is her favorite.

Adelia smiled and ate the cake. "Thank you Lu Shan" He caressed the little boy's head affectionately.

Lu Shan laughed happily and resumed his meal. Lu Cheng was not very interested in the cake, he preferred to count the items Adelia bought and smiled happily. She finally got a new dress!! He has not had a new shirt since his mother died.

Lu Xiang was very happy to see the joyous look of his sisters, after a long time they finally had good new clothes. I am so grateful to Adelia.

The night after a scrumptious dinner with a menu of mutton and chicken, Lu Shan and Lu Cheng fell asleep after taking a bath because they were tired of shopping and having a good day.

Adelia exited Lu Cheng and Lu Shan's room and looked at Lu Xiang who was reading a book in the front room. A serious look with a calm face made its own charisma in his eyes.

Adelia's amazed look made Lu Xiang feel and turn to his wife. "They're asleep?"

"It has. You still want to learn? Reading in the light is not good for the health of your eyes"

"A little while more"

Adelia took a long breath. He knew how much Lu Xiang wanted to continue studying because passing the state examination became a pride in the family and in the village itself. The Murong Dynasty highly upholds scholars making many men who want to study but some of them can not because of financial conditions.

"Lu Xiang"

"Hm?"

"Do you want to continue studying?"

Lu Xiang's movements stopped. He looked at Adelia who was also looking seriously at him then laughed sadly. "Of course I want to, who doesn't want to be a scholar and then work in government?"

Adelia held her husband's shoulder. "If you want to learn, go on. We have money now"

Lu Xiang's gaze grew bigger then shook his head weakly. "I don't want to wear your hard work"
