Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

In the following days, aside from reading, Jiang Yu spent time walking around the village with Zhou Ying, and the two of them also went to the city to shop.

Liu Ze and Xiaoxue returned the next day.

After all, when the big ship docked, he was the only one on this side of Cheng County. Although there was a steward, it was the first time the big ship sailed so far, so he went to oversee things.

Unexpectedly, by the time they returned, the marriage arrangement of elder brother/brother-in-law was already settled. They were just waiting a few days before heading to Nanyang Prefecture to discuss the wedding details.

Moreover, Jiang Yu and Zhou Ying had agreed that after the provincial exam, they would marry directly. Once the results were announced, everyone could directly set off to the Capital City.

The couple was shocked to hear the news. They had only been away for a day and a half, yet such a big event had happened!

Fortunately, both of them were experienced and quickly calmed down, sincerely offering their blessings.

Mutual affection and getting together from youthful admiration are rare.

Most of the marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, so Jiang Yu and Zhou Ying were considered lucky to have known each other since youth, which was much better than most.

As for Little Bun, she was quite fond of Zhou Ying, her future aunt-in-law.

Of course, it might also be because Zhou Ying, like her aunt, was strong enough to carry her while shopping at a brisk pace, and even ride a horse galloping.

For example, at this moment, Zhou Ying, not at all ladylike, hoisted Little Bun onto her shoulder and ran swiftly.

"Fly, fly, fly to board the big ship."

Shouting cheerfully, she ran swiftly, skillfully avoiding pedestrians on the road.

With one hand holding Little Bun’s leg and the other supporting her waist, Little Bun sat securely, happily stretching out her arms, excitedly shouting ’ah ah’.

Jiang Yu steadily followed beside the big and small duo. Don’t be fooled by his scholarly appearance; despite being a bookish scholar, he had helped with fieldwork since he was young.

In his usual loose robes, he looked like a frail scholar.

Only when he wore short sleeves to work would you see those muscular, strong arms.

So, even if Zhou Ying was carrying Little Bun everywhere, he could still steadily keep up with them.

At this time, they were ready to leave Cheng County. Besides the three hundred Imperial Guards, there were also more than ten people driving carriages carrying luggage.

They were the ones who came along with Zhou Ying. The day after Zhou Ying and Jiang Yu’s marriage was confirmed, they had come forward voluntarily.

Of course, they didn’t say they specifically came to find Jiang Yu of the Jiang family with Miss, just that the heiress from home had fled an arranged marriage, and they were following clues to find her.

The Imperial Guards, as servants of the Emperor, did not hear those words from Zhou Ying.

Only the people from their family knew the decision, as no one openly discussed it.

The only news the Imperial Guards knew was that a young lady had escaped an arranged marriage to find her childhood friend—Zhou Ying initially came looking for Xiaomi.

Little did anyone know, the Jiang family’s eldest son and Miss Zhou, unseen for years, would find each other perfectly matched upon meeting again.

Only then did they realize she was the Magistrate’s daughter!

As for later, even if the Emperor inquired, Zhou Commander and others would only provide this answer.

And by then, Zhou Ying and Jiang Yu had reunited after her runaway, found love, and married!

No matter how others investigated, they would only discover that Jiang Yu had previously traveled twice with his family to Nanyang Prefecture, merely strengthening ties with a like-minded friend during the journeys.

Of course, generally, no one would investigate things that happened so long ago.

A portion of the Imperial Guards and Zhou’s family had already taken some luggage to the port, while others rode with wagons overland, having departed two days prior.

After all, the number of Imperial Guards was too large for all of them to board the ship.

Now, only about a dozen people were following, ready to roam Cheng County, buy things, and then leave, knowing it might be a long time before they returned.

Zhou Ying, carrying Little Bun like the wind, led the way, while Jiang Yu steadily followed.

Liu Ze and Xiaoxue, trusting their son, walked hand in hand, shopping while strolling.

On the other side, Wei Ziang and Xiaomi did the same, occasionally calling out to Xiao Wei to avoid him being left alone and feeling lonely.

Jiang Hu and his wife walked together on the street, watching the pairs of children, suddenly feeling sentimental.

"Thinking back to when we first settled in Fu’an Village, we were worried Little Wei wouldn’t grow up well, but in a blink, the kids are all grown up."

Reminiscing feels like it was just a while ago, but now Xiaoxue’s child is nearly two, and the eldest son’s marriage is arranged.

Now, their only worry is Little Wei.

As for Xiaomi and Ziang, Ziang had already confided in them, advising not to rush or press, letting things take their natural course.

This, which they used to dwell on, now seemed clear.

Xiaomi was not like others; entrusting her to an ordinary family didn’t feel reassuring.

Moreover, Ziang was the only one who could stay close to Xiaomi and knew her secrets the most.

The most significant thing was Ziang was raised by them, and they trusted both his character and his caring for Xiaomi, seeing it firsthand.

Though they hadn’t explicitly declared their intentions, they’re still young after all.

Looking at the eldest, they had been secretly anxious for years, and now he was about to marry.

From observing the couple these past few days, they seem to get along well. Yingying had a good personality, cheerful and straightforward, without deep scheming, indeed well-suited for their family.

Jiang Hu nodded with a smile: "Indeed, back then, I only thought, as long as the family lived safely, it would be okay. Never dreamed of being this prosperous now."

Although Jiang Hu has always been steady, when mentioning these matters, he couldn’t help the joy and happiness.

Although he never said it, he still felt that the current prosperity was beyond his wildest dreams.

And all this was brought by Xiaomi.

Even if outsiders believed it was due to Jiang Hu and Little Wei’s efforts that the Jiang family achieved such success, achieving nobility and titles in just a decade, like ancestral blessings.

But behind closed doors, the family knew who was truly responsible for it all.

Without Xiaomi, the Jiang family might still be toiling in Fu’an Village, busying for daily meals, hoping for a bite of meat during the New Year.

His wife couldn’t help but agree, looking at the cheerful children upfront, she suddenly asked a question.

"Brother Hu, do you still remember our parents?"
