The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 279 Like a Fairy

Shen Yan deliberately raised her eyebrows and said jokingly: "Only children mind being told they are young, while adults are afraid of being mentioned about their age. Why do you still insist that you are not young?" There was a hint of cunning in her words. Although it sounded like a fallacy, it also made some sense.

Song Yunfeng chuckled softly, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of amusement: "My lady, what you said makes sense. How can we be considered real adults without experiencing the affairs of husband and wife? If I want to grow up soon, I'm afraid I need your guidance. How about..." He deliberately left the audience in suspense, elongated the last syllable, but did not continue. An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan quickly hid deep in the bed, wrapping herself up tightly with the quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes showing, flashing with vigilance and resistance: "You wish! Who said I was too young and that we should wait two years before discussing this? Why, you found all kinds of excuses to shirk your responsibilities before, but now you have changed your mind and forgotten everything? Men, they are all animals with lower bodies."

There was a hint of anger and helplessness in the threatening words. Seeing this, Song Yunfeng didn't dare to do anything else. He could only lie back on his side and apologize softly: "Sorry, I was just joking just now."

He knew that she carried the memory of another person, and still remembered his disgust and resistance. The sudden change in attitude would undoubtedly make her feel uncomfortable and confused.

Shen Yan knew that Song Yunfeng's words were just a joke, and he was not injured yet, so he shouldn't be fooling around. She deliberately responded like this because she was determined not to give him any improper fantasies, so as to avoid blurring the boundaries between them.

……

Time flies, and it's time to deliver medicinal herbs again. Shen Yan still took Tian Buque's ox cart to the town. This time, Tian Buque took out a handful of fried beans from his pocket, and his honest smile revealed a bit of childishness: "Yang, Lin's wife, eat beans, they are very delicious."

Facing Tian Buque's enthusiasm, Shen Yan, who usually didn't want to accept other people's kindness outside, smiled and waved her hand to refuse: "Brother Buque, you can eat it yourself, I don't want to eat."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buque tilted his head and asked curiously, "Are you ticklish?" It was actually a bit funny to see that huge body making such childish movements.

Shen Yan smiled and shook her head: "It's not that I'm ticklish, I just don't like eating beans, you should keep them for yourself."

Tian Buque showed a hint of disappointment on his face, and he spoke much less along the way. Shen Yan guessed that perhaps it was because her rejection hurt his good intentions.

She knew in her heart that it was difficult to have the best of both worlds in this situation, and she couldn't force herself to do something she didn't like.

Before arriving at the destination, she said to Tian Buque: "Brother Buque, you just wait for me here this time, I will be back soon."

Tian Buque smiled innocently and agreed: "Okay."

Shen Yan walked into the Herb Pavilion, and Ah Tu began to weigh the herbs swiftly. By the time the shopkeeper Xue Yuan finished his work and came over, most of the herbs had been accurately weighed.

"Madam Song, I have tried the lobelia you provided last time, and it is indeed very effective in removing phlegm and relieving cough. We are willing to continue purchasing it." Xue Yuan nodded approvingly, "As for those uncommon herbs, we also welcome them very much, as well as that... recipe." He smiled a little embarrassedly.

Shen Yan responded generously: "We can discuss the price of the recipe in detail."

She is open-minded and believes that good prescriptions should be widely circulated to treat more people, which is a great way to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

Xue Yuan's admiration for Shen Yan increased a little bit, and at the same time, a trace of guilt flashed through his heart. After all, his request for the prescription was more or less mixed with some selfish motives, and it was not as pure as hers.

In this transaction, Xue Yuan provided the formula of seven new medicinal herbs and was very generous, paying Shen Yan a total of five taels of silver.

With the money in her pocket, Shen Yan started shopping for daily necessities. Last time, she was unable to buy new underwear because Song Yunfeng was around, so this time, she decided to buy herself some new clothes no matter what.

So she walked into a large women's clothing store, Fangfei Pavilion. The store was filled with all kinds of women's clothing, colorful and novel, but there were few customers and it seemed a bit deserted.

The store is divided into two parts. The outer part displays ready-made clothes, while the inner part, behind a tightly closed door, protects women's most private underwear.

The owner of the shop was a pretty young woman. When she saw Shen Yan coming, she pulled open the door curtain with a smile on her face and welcomed her in warmly.

In the inner room, there is a dazzling array of goods, including see-through shirts, tube tops, and bellybands of various shapes, all of which reveal exquisiteness and temptation.

Only the choice of patterns seems a bit monotonous and lacks creativity. Most of them are limited to those common patterns of flowers and vines, two carps chasing each other happily in the water, or mandarin ducks playing leisurely on the water. Compared with the exquisite embroidery collection in Shen Yan's home, these designs are really not much different and lack a sense of uniqueness and charm.

Shen Yan had a slender figure, and a simple suspender tube top was enough to outline her figure, without too much decoration. Therefore, she randomly selected two clothes with plain colors and high-quality textures. The texture was soft and seemed to blend into her skin, showing a natural beauty without any embellishment.

"Is the young lady married?" The proprietress's eyes flashed with a hint of inquiry, and her gaze inadvertently fell on Shen Yan's untied, freely scattered hair. In this place, there is no strict rule that women must tie up their long hair, but families with strict family education often have requirements for this, and do not allow women to let their hair down, so as not to break the rules.

Facing the boss lady's question, Shen Yan nodded slightly. This action seemed to touch a soft spot in the boss lady's heart, making her expression instantly friendly and natural. The boss lady's enthusiasm was like the summer sun, warm but not dazzling. She then picked out two brightly colored bellybands from the shelf and recommended them to Shen Yan: "Your skin is as white as snow. Wearing such bright colors will surely make your husband stare at you."

As she spoke, the lady boss's fingers naturally moved twice on Shen Yan's chest, as if she was measuring the size, but with a hint of indescribable intimacy. She continued, "Although it looks small now, the lines are perfect. You've just gotten married, right? Let your husband touch it more often, and it will soon become fuller. If you want to speed up the process, I have a few ancestral recipes here, which are quite effective."

Shen Yan muttered to herself, she felt quite awkward about this overly direct contact with a fellow woman, and she didn't know whether she should give the man a taste of his own medicine or just laugh it off.
