Chapter 1047: A Frank Meeting 1
Having left Dawn Commune, there were no passersby on the path; it seemed everyone was busy in the fields, leaving only the couple Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue walking on the dirt road.
The weather was already a bit hot, with the sun shining brightly in the beautiful sky scattered with white clouds.
However, it didn’t have that feeling of being scorched by the blazing summer sun.
After walking for a while, Feng Qingxue could no longer hold back, "Ajiang, don’t you have anything you want to say to me?"
"Say? What would I have to say? No, not at all," Lu Jiang was quite puzzled as he touched the top of his head.
Different from Feng Qingxue, who put on a large straw hat before leaving the house, Lu Jiang didn’t even wear a cap, his skin burned dark under the sun, leaving only his white teeth standing out.
"The words of Shan Zai, and his reasons for making us burn the Mandarin Duck Book," Feng Qingxue said, her eyes fixed on Lu Jiang, meeting his gaze directly, "I don’t believe you find nothing odd about it."
Lu Jiang chuckled, "Why bother with Shan Zai’s words when we can’t tell if they’re true or not?" Anyway, he didn’t believe Xibao was a lucky star.
"If you don’t believe it, why did you resolutely burn the Mandarin Duck Book?" Feng Qingxue wasn’t fooled and knew his real thoughts from the smile on his face, "You’re not Xibao; you can’t pretend you don’t understand anything."
Supporting her by the arm, Lu Jiang said, "It’s not about belief or decisiveness, it’s just that since Shan Zai said the birthdates on the Mandarin Duck Book were not yours, why keep it? Although we’ve already got a marriage certificate and are legally husband and wife, in the old times, the Mandarin Duck Book was the true marriage certificate. I don’t want my birthdate appearing on the Mandarin Duck Book alongside anyone else’s but yours. I remember when I was a child, the elderly would say that if a man and a woman’s birthdates are written in the Mandarin Duck Book, even in the afterlife they would be husband and wife, which shows the book’s true importance. As a child, I witnessed ghost marriages, where two families arranged posthumous marriages for their deceased single children; setting aside the ceremony, the most crucial act was to write the pair’s birthdates on the Mandarin Duck Book."
