Chapter 376
Chapter 376
It was already summer in Jiangnan, but the rain still did not stop. It rained almost the whole month, and the rain continued until the dragon boat festival approached.
It had been several days since they arrived in Lin ‘an, and glutinous rice was getting married.
Glutinous rice was married to a young constable from the Lin ‘an government who often came to eat at the Hundred Savory Restaurant.
She was the same age as glutinous rice, and she often played with him when she was young.
Later on, glutinous rice followed her to Chang ‘an, and when she returned to Lin ‘an, she became the eldest daughter of the Qian family.
The constable did not dare to play with glutinous rice again. However, when glutinous rice and Qiao Ruoyun reopened the Jiangnan Hundred Savory restaurant, she was schemed against by Zhou Shihui. Glutinous rice went to the constable and recognized her childhood playmate.
The two got along well. The constable’s family had some savings. Although it was not a wealthy family, it was rare that they had known each other since childhood.
It was much better than glutinous rice marrying a family of equal status.
Moreover, to be able to become a constable at such a young age, one’s future was boundless.
On the day of glutinous Rice’s wedding, Qiao Jinniang went to the Qian Estate. When Qiao Jinniang saw quanfu person combing glutinous rice’s hair, she said, “Let me do it.”
Quanfu person respectfully handed the comb over to Qiao Jinniang.
Glutinous rice hurriedly stood up and said, “Master, how can I let you comb my hair!”
Qiao Jinniang smiled. “You’ve been combing my hair for more than ten years. I’ll only comb it for you this time.”
Only then did glutinous rice sit down. When Qiao Jinniang was combing glutinous rice’s hair.., with a faint smile, she said, “After you marry her, don’t make yourself feel wronged. If you have any unhappiness, just tell your uncle. If your uncle doesn’t want to care, just write to me, understand?”
Glutinous rice nodded and said, “Yes.”
When sending glutinous rice off to get married, Qiao Jinniang was really reluctant. When glutinous Rice’s groom came to welcome the bride and kneel before her, Qiao jinniang said, “Treat glutinous rice well in the future. If you dare to make her suffer her duty, I will not forgive you!”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I will treat glutinous rice well.”
When the groom took the bride away, it was almost dusk. The officials who came to the Qian family for dinner knew that the servant girl of the Qian family’s eldest daughter, the empress, was only married to a small constable, so they were all puzzled.
In the evening, in the Qiao family’s small house behind the Hundred Savory Restaurant.
Lu Chen saw Qiao Jinniang sitting on the swing in the small courtyard and swinging on it. He walked to her side and said, “I asked you to come to Jiangnan to hope that you would be happy. Glutinous Rice’s marriage is a happy event.”
Qiao jinniang said, “I just remembered the scene when I played with glutinous rice when I was young, and I was quite moved by it. After glutinous rice got married and died, I’m afraid she will leave Lin ‘an in a few days, right?”
She would not go back to Chang ‘an first after leaving Lin ‘an. Instead, she would travel around Jiangnan to see the local customs and folk scenes.
Lu Chen said slowly, “There’s still a chance to come to Lin ‘an again.”
Qiao Jinniang pulled Lu Chen to a acacia tree and said, “The fire at that time didn’t burn down the acacia tree. Our hair is still under it. Do you want to dig it up and take it to Chang ‘an?”
Lu Chen smiled. “No need. Let’s leave it here. Do you still remember the scene when we buried the knot?”
Qiao Jinniang also smiled. “Of course I do. Do you still remember when we first met?”
Lu Chen nodded.

Qiao Jinniang said, “At that time, my father lied to you that you were my son-in-law. I didn’t expose my father because I thought that you were worthy to be my son-in-law with your looks. However, not long after, you exposed me… at that time, you were still unwilling to marry me!”
Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s waist and said, “If I could go back to ten years ago, I wouldn’t have exposed that you were not my son-in-law. I would have said that I wanted to marry you when I saw you!”
..
Ten years ago.
In Lin ‘an city.
Qiao Jinniang, who was only fifteen years old, sent away a group of guards who came to the restaurant to check on people. She sat in the deserted lobby of the restaurant and sighed with her hands resting on her cheeks,
“These guards don’t go to the river to save the victims. They only come to our restaurant to check on people every day. Every time they come to check on people, they ask me to give them money!”
Fennel whispered, “Little master, I heard from the tofu elder Zhang next door that a noble who came to Chang ‘an for disaster relief has gone missing. These guards have to come and search one batch after another. Maybe they are here to find that noble.”
“Miss, the Little Langjun who came back with you and the master has woken up!”With her hair in a bun, glutinous rice hopped over.
Qiao Jinniang followed glutinous rice to the Qiao family’s small courtyard on the back street of Baiwei building with an umbrella in hand.
Inside, she saw a man who had changed into a new set of clothes. When she had rescued him from the water yesterday, even though he looked extremely wretched, she could tell that he was a first-class handsome man.
She had grown up in a restaurant and had seen all sorts of people from all over the world. This was the first time she had seen a man with the appearance of a banished immortal described in a book.
Inside, Father Qiao, who had a weak body, coughed twice and asked the youth in front of him, “You don’t Remember Your Past?”
Lu Chen felt a splitting headache. He could not remember what had happened earlier. He only remembered his birth date and eight characters. He remembered his name, but he could not remember anything else.
Lu Chen shook his head. “Where are we now? Who Are You?”
Father Qiao’s tanned face was slightly red from the smoke. He had always been honest and would not lie. But this time, he had to lie for the sake of the Jin Niang.
Father Qiao coughed twice and said, “I am the manager of the Hundred Savory restaurant in Lin ‘an. You are the son-in-law of my Qiao family. Yesterday, you played too much and fell into the water. You fainted for a day and a night. I did not expect you to forget what happened earlier after you woke up.”
“Son-in-law?”Although Lu Chen had lost his memory, he subconsciously knew what it meant.
When Qiao Jinniang heard the words ‘son-in-law’, she quickly went in and said, “Father!”
Father Qiao held Qiao Jinniang’s hand and said, “Well, this is my daughter, also your wife.”
Lu Chen looked up at the young girl in front of him. The young girl, Shang Shan, was wearing a white and green color. Her chest-length dress was light pink. The silver butterfly wings on her head moved slightly as she walked, making her look extremely agile.
Qiao Jinniang said to father Qiao, “Father, if your body is not well, you should quickly go back and rest. The Doctor said that your illness is not suitable for you to worry about. Your Daughter has already grown up, so you can rest assured. I will definitely not hand over the hundred savory restaurant to the Qiao family.”
After Lu Chen sized up Qiao Jinniang, he retracted his gaze. Her voice was soft and soft, but why would he agree to be a child’s son-in-law?
Thinking about it, Lu Chen’s head hurt badly.
After Qiao Jin helped Father Qiao out of the guest room where Lu Chen was staying.., she said to father Qiao, “Father, why did you choose a man with an unknown background to be my son-in-law? He has forgotten about his future. What if he was already engaged in the past?”
Father Qiao said, “Father also saw that he was handsome. As long as he is worthy of you, those matchmakers would rather listen to the clan and find a son-in-law.”
