Chapter 10: The Past 2

Since then, these two children have often met on the banks of the Qinghu River, turning the tall reeds into fluffy blankets and sitting on them to chat.

He picked the most beautiful flowers on the top of the mountain, picked the sweetest red fruits on the trees, and took her to see the complicated life between people in Qingcheng, and walked through every field and mountain.

And whenever those children who wander the market come to find trouble in Chen Anhe, Yeon-joo will sneak to the bottom of the lake, wave her hand, and the green lake will mysteriously set off big waves, pouring heavy rain all over the shore, like the wrath of the gods, smashing the golden reeds.

The frightened thugs all ran away in a hurry, not even daring to turn their heads back, nor daring to make trouble for no reason.

She would take him by the hand and take him into her warm embrace, showing a sweet smile and the sweet dimples.

......

As the days passed, Chen Anhe gradually grew up, retreated from the childishness of a child, and became a fresh and handsome teenager.

On this day,

Chen Anhe, who had grown into a handsome teenager, held Yeon-joo's soft hand tightly and brought her to his father. Ask the father to answer their marriage.

Chen Anhe blushed and said, "Father, look, we ......"

"This is a good thing..."Chen Anhe's father glanced at them and agreed.

Even though Chen Anhe has grown up, time is in a hurry, and the ten years have gently slid past the shore of Qinghu Lake, but their family is still poor, as in the past.

In the face of such conditions, it is really a great thing that his son can still have someone willing to marry.

Moreover, at this time, Yeonjo's mind has also matured, and she has analyzed the sophistication of human feelings, and she has long lost the childishness when she first took on a human form, and her appearance is becoming more and more beautiful, and it even makes people wonder if it is a lady from a big family who sneaked out of the house.

Seeing such a daughter-in-law, how could Chen Anhe's father disagree?

Because Chen Anhe's family is really a family with four walls, they are poor, and they can't even afford a decent wedding dress. But Yanzhu didn't care about these, that night, the two knelt in front of their thatched house, Chen Anhe personally put a red cloth on the top of Yanzhu's head, and then together, in front of his father and Qinghu, they worshipped heaven and earth, and since then, they have become husband and wife.

After getting married, the little life of the two was sweet.

Chen Anhe and his father went out fishing, and Yeon-joo sewed, cleaned, washed clothes, cooked, and took care of all the housework at home.

Although Chen Anhe's family is poorer, although her life is harder, and she can't give her any brocade clothes and jade, she is happy.

When she met Chen Anhe, she was extremely happy...

However, the good times didn't last long, and this change came out of a pearl -

On the day of Chen Anhe's birth, the two sat side by side on the shore of Qinghu Lake as when they were young, and Yanzhu spread out her palms and gave Chen Anhe a pale pink pearl the size of broad beans.

That pearl, under the light of the moon, is so beautiful, so bewitching, so priceless...

Chen Anhe had never seen such a beautiful pearl in the world in his life, so he was dumbfounded and said: "This, where did such a big pearl come from? It is so beautiful! I have never seen it so big, and I am afraid that even the dignitaries of Damen have never seen it." ”

Yanzhu, who was sitting on the shore, tilted her head with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "That's nature, this is my clan, and it can only be born after a hundred years of cultivation." It's my gift to you. ”

This is what her people offer to their patriarchs.

Chen Anhe took Yanzhu into his arms, kissed her white and flawless face, and said, "Thank you, Yanzhu." ”

Thinking about it again, Chen Anhe was a little disappointed, and said: "Such a treasure, I still think that if we can take a few of these pearls and sell them, we will be able to live, and you won't have to suffer with me anymore." ”

Yanzhu looked at the pearl that was tightly held in the palm of Chen Anhe's hand, and said slowly: "That's not good, although they haven't cultivated to human form, but I can't deliberately hurt my clan for my own sake." ”

......

Despite this, Chen Anhe still always remembers the beads the size of broad beans and those beads worth thousands of gold in Qinghu.

He thought hard, deliberated left and right several times, and then went to test Yeon-joo, hoping that she could fetch a few, but they were still rejected by Yeon-joo's righteous words without exception.

Yeon-joo: "Ah-ha, don't mention this matter again. ”

Although Chen Anhe, who was blocked by Lou Ci, had some resentment that Yanzhu was too little a woman and didn't know the situation, he had no choice but to keep this matter firmly in his heart and didn't mention it again.

Until, Chen Anhe's relatives were old and sick, and finally failed to survive, swallowed in one breath, and let go.

Chen Anhe, who really had no choice, had no choice but to sell the pearl that Yanzhu had given him when he was born, to exchange the coffin money for his dead old father.

He walked around the city several times, and finally stopped in front of the largest treasure pavilion in the city.

Chen Anhe looked at the dazzling array of rare treasures in the store, sighed, and slowly took out a cloth bag from his arms.

"Can you take this?" Chen Anhe said coldly.

He lifted the handkerchief wrapped in layers, revealing a pink pearl the size of a broad bean.

It's so radiant, full and plump.

The guys in the shop also widened their eyes when they stared, and some of them hurriedly leaned forward and rubbed their eyes, wanting to take a closer look at this amazing peerless pearl.

"This..."

The shopkeeper slowly walked out of the house with an abacus in his hand. When he saw the pearl in Chen Anhe's hand, he was also shocked.

The old steward licked a smiling face, squinted his eyes and said, "Childe, our master is invited." Then he raised his arm and swung to the back of the house, and made a gesture of please.

Chen Anhe wrapped the dazzling pearl layer by layer and followed up in the store.

And the old man sitting in the store was the richest businessman in Qingcheng at that time, Master Yao.

Master Yao glanced at the pearl, then stood up excitedly, took the bead from Chen Anhe's hand, looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "I want this pearl, you don't have to worry about the money, I will order someone to send it." ”

"It's just..."The old Yao Ye continued: "Childe, can you tell me where you got this bead?"

Where would Chen Anhe say that his wife Yanzhu's goblin clan practiced for a hundred years.

Isn't that going to be regarded as a madman? Besides, he had promised Yeon-joo that he wouldn't betray her and tell her identity no matter what.

Suddenly, Chen Anhe only vaguely said that he picked it up in the lake when he was fishing before. As for which lake it was, he did not say.

And it was on this day that the only daughter of Master Yao, the richest man in Qingcheng, happened to hide behind the screen and fell in love with the handsome young man in front of her at a glance.
