Chapter 624 The heroine who was counterattacked (thirteen)
Where is the food?
What else, sir?!
In Hejia Village, the only person who can be called "Master" is He Boss He Youtian!
He Yingying opened shops in the county and prefectures, but she was a woman after all, and it was not convenient for her to do many things in public.
He Youtian, the nominal head of the family, was responsible for some external affairs.
Therefore, he became "Master He" who owned several shops, and was a wealthy businessman with a little reputation in every city.
"Did you hear wrongly? The man outside called He Youtian? Mr. He?"
Everyone, including He Youtian, was muttering secretly.
However, before they could continue to guess, the voices outside were getting closer and closer, and the words shouted became clearer -
"Where is the food? Is Mr. He at home?"
What kind of food is there really?
Not He Youtian!
Everyone in the He family and the surrounding villagers were a little surprised.
As the shouts got closer and closer, he had already arrived outside the house. With a shout, the melon-eaters who surrounded the He family in layers and layers instantly moved out of the way.
Whoosh!
Everyone looked along the passage.
Several figures from far to near.
The leader was a man in his thirties or forties, wearing a blue satin robe with a purse, jade pendant and other items tied around his waist.
This man looks very rich, fair and fat, and has a short beard. He looks very much in line with the country people's imagination of a "noble man".
There is a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old beside this man. She is not very old, but she looks very smart.
"You, who are you?"
Although He Youtian heard the call of the visitor clearly, he still stubbornly felt that the other party might have mistakenly thought that the master of the He family was called He Youliang.
There is nothing we can do about it, the names of the three brothers of the He family are very similar.
Having fields, food, and surplus are all the aspirations of poor families for a better future.
If you are not familiar with it, you may get it confused and remember it wrongly.
He Youtian has been doing business outside for a few months, and he has seen the world. He has money in his pocket to pay filial piety from his daughter, and he is called "Master He" every day, which makes him feel a little restless.
I feel as if I have truly become a noble lord, the most promising and honorable person in Hejia Village.
Now that a noble man came to his door, calling him "Master He", He Youtian decided that the man must be here to see him.
He puffed up his chest and walked closer pretending to be reserved. However, when he spoke, he tried his best to use Mandarin, but he inevitably mixed with his hometown accent, which made it sound a bit funny.
The person who came was actually a good-natured person, or perhaps he was wary of certain people and did not laugh at He Youtian.
Instead, he nodded respectfully and asked politely: "How can I help you, Master?"
Hearing this man mention He Youliang's name again, He Youtian felt inexplicably offended.
I cursed in my heart: Who is this stupid steward sent by that house? He can even get the name of a noble person wrong?!
"I am Mr. He, but my name is not He Youliang, my name is He Youtian. I am the one who opened the Dulailao hotpot restaurant in Fucheng!"
He Youtian deliberately mentioned their family's business in Fucheng in order to fear that the visitor would continue to admit the wrong person.
In recent months, the most popular store in the county and prefecture has to be the hot pot restaurant they all come to fish for.
He Youtian felt that as long as he revealed his identity, the other party would know that he had made a big mistake.
The visitor frowned and said, "I'm here to get everything! I'm here to find the second roommate of the He family, who has food and who owns the master!"
"The second room of the He family?"
"Wow! Is this distinguished guest really here to see He Laoer?"
"What's Mr. He? Didn't you hear what this distinguished guest said? I want to call him Mr. He!"
"...Haha, Master He, Boss He thought he was the only one who was the 'master'!"
The onlookers burst into laughter. Some were curious about why noble people came to look for He Youliang, the most honest person in Hejia Village. Others were teasing and joking. Some villagers who were jealous of the He family's large house and wealth ran against He Youtian in a weird way.
He Youtian's face turned red instantly, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
In anger, He Youtian asked hurriedly, "You don't even know about Du Lai Lao hot pot restaurant? Where are you from??"
"Also, what are you doing with the second child? He's just a farmer digging in the dirt, and he's never even been to the county seat!"
"Oh, by the way, there is a disaster star in the second child's house. He is a monster. If you look for him, aren't you afraid of getting bad luck?"
He Youtian must have been really anxious, and he said a lot of things regardless.
The visitor became more and more confused, what on earth is this person in front of him?
He has already stated that he is here to find He Youliang, but this person is not He Youliang, so why are you blocking here and fooling around?!
However, the visitor still answered the other party's question——
"I'm from the capital! I don't know why I'm here to fish, it shouldn't be against the law!"
The word "capital" brought a moment of silence to the people who were talking about it.
But Erfang and his family, who were pushed aside by He Youtian, suddenly thought of something.
He Youliang was so honest that he was so full of questions that he couldn't say a word.
Yang was the more aggressive one. She pushed away Sister-in-law He who was standing in front of her, rushed in front of them, and asked eagerly: "But, my Fubao sent someone to deliver a letter?"
Sister-in-law He was very unhappy when she was pushed away.
When she heard Yang's "whimsical" question, she couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, her second aunt, you are still thinking about Fu Bao."
Mrs. Yang had long been dissatisfied with Sister-in-law He's publicity, and was even more annoyed that she always scolded her daughter.
When he heard her strange words, he couldn't help but sneered, "In the entire Hejia Village, apart from my Fu Bao, who else is in the capital?"
Therefore, people coming from Beijing must be because of their family's lucky treasure.
"..." Sister-in-law He choked.
The look on her face became even more embarrassing.
Speaking of which, ever since He Yingying opened a hot pot restaurant, He Youtian was not the only one who got excited.
And what’s the sister-in-law?
He Yingying also bought a maid for Mrs. He to serve her, and she suddenly felt that her status was extraordinary.
She is no longer a peasant woman, but a respectable rich lady.
In the He family, she straightened her back even more.
Not to mention the younger brother and sister Yang who gave birth to a monster, even the mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, and Sister-in-law He were not afraid.
But now, Sister-in-law He was scolded in public by her younger siblings who she looked down upon. How could she not be angry?!
"So what if Fu Bao is in the capital? She has been in the capital for almost a year, and she doesn't even have a message!"
"Hmph, she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, yet she sent someone all the way back to find her second brother?"
"Brothers and sisters, it's daytime now, but you can't dream blindly!"
Sister-in-law He had an "excellent" daughter, so she also learned some fresh words from He Yingying.
She is also sharp-tongued, and she feels that she has seen the world, and is particularly confident when facing a village woman like Yang.
"Sister-in-law, you are also Fu Bao's aunt and her elder. You, how can you -" Curse Fu Bao?
Gu Feng
What does it mean to not know whether you are alive or dead?
Her Fu Bao must be living well.
Mrs. Yang was so angry at Mrs. He that her hands trembling while pointing at her.
Chen Fu, that is, the distinguished guest who came from the capital specifically to see He Youtian, listened to the confrontation between the sisters-in-law of the He family and roughly understood it.
"The blessing you are talking about is Princess Liang's family name?"
When he mentioned "He", his tone was obviously respectful.
boom!
What everyone is paying attention to is not "He", but the three words "Princess Liang".
"What? Did I hear that right? Erya of the He family became the princess?"
"...It should be right. I remember that the person Erya saved was a prince."
"Yes! Yes! It's Prince Liang. Last time I went to the county, I happened to encounter someone who was looking for trouble at a hot pot restaurant. Someone shouted, "The He family is a relative of Prince Liang, and those who were looking for trouble were scared away!" "
"Really, is it really Princess Liang? Erya, oh no, it's Fu Bao. She has reached the sky in one step!"
The villagers couldn't believe it at first, but as people continued to speculate and confirm, everyone gradually accepted the news.
Then comes envy and jealousy.
Oh my god, the princess, she has a noble status that they can't even dream of.
In Hejiacun, let's talk about what kind of princess, even if the daughter of the family can marry to the county town, she can make the family proud for more than ten years.
As for the villagers in the village, the biggest official they have ever seen in their life is just the head of the village. They don't even know where the county government door is.
As for the county and government officials, they have never even met them.
But now, someone told that a little village girl from their village actually bypassed these big shots and married the prince directly.
That was the emperor's son, a true royal nobleman.
Some villagers said that Fubao "reached the sky in one step", and he was absolutely right!
Isn't it just one step to reach the sky, and the sparrow turns into a phoenix?
"I knew it! I knew my Fu Bao was a lucky one!"
Both Mr. Yang and Mrs. Li cried at the huge surprise.
They cried with joy, they finally waited for this day.
"That's not right! Erya, oh no, it's Fubao, isn't she a disaster star? She's also a monster that takes away people's luck!"
In the crowd, whether out of jealousy or genuine curiosity, someone shouted at the top of their lungs.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was filled with envy, and everyone who was talking about them all stopped talking.
yes!
Erya is a monster, she, how can she become the princess?
Could it be that she used witchcraft to charm King Liang?
Thinking about it, He Sanya exposed Erya's true face, and the "victimized" villagers also came forward to testify.
He Erya was almost driven out of Hejia Village by the angry villagers and had his name crossed out from the family tree.
The incident was so big that Prince Liang, who was recuperating in the He family, saw and heard everything, but he didn't care at all and insisted on taking Erya away!
At that time, King Liang looked a little strange.
When others heard that He Erya was a monster, they were disgusted and fearful.
And he actually wanted to take He Erya with him, saying that he liked her and wanted to stay with her for the rest of his life.
Tsk!
That stubborn look is exactly the same as those poor scholars who were charmed by vixens in story books!
"You are talking nonsense! Our Fu Bao is not a monster, she is a lucky star!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Mrs. Li shouted at the top of her voice regardless of it.
"Mrs. Li, if Fubao is a monster, it's not us outsiders who say it, but your grandson, Fubao's cousin!"
Seeing that Mrs. Li seemed to be acting violently, the villagers hurriedly said this.
Mrs. Li:......
As if someone had poured cold water on her head, Mrs. Li's momentum instantly dropped.
Yes, the person who originally said Fu Bao was a monster was not an outsider, but He Sanya!
At that time, Mrs. Li couldn't figure out why Sanya did this?
Doesn’t she understand the principle of both prosperity and loss?
Her own cousin became a monster, so what good could she get?
In the past few months, even if He Sanya became wealthy with a big house, few of the truly rich and noble people in the city would want to ask to marry He Sanya.
He Sanya disliked the bad luck of Fu Bao for his second wife, and the nobles were afraid that there was something strange about He Sanya.
Alas, injustices, they are all injustices!
Old Mrs. Li cursed a few words bitterly in her heart, then she frowned and said a bit rogue, "I don't care about this, my Fubao is not a monster anyway!"
"She is a lucky star. On the day she was born, I dreamed that a golden light shone into our He family!"
"She, she must be someone with a great origin. Maybe she was some kind of fairy in her previous life!"
In order to help her precious granddaughter clear away the stigma, Mrs. Li told what happened back then.
Villagers: ...golden light enters the house again!
Tsk, they heard Mrs. Li show off these words countless times back then.
They will all memorize it, okay?!
However, when Chen Fu, who was standing aside, heard this, his eyes flickered.
"Old lady, have you ever had such a dream back then?"
"certainly!"
When Mrs. Li saw the nobleman from the capital, she listened to her words and immediately became energetic.
She hurriedly said, "Just the night before my daughter-in-law gave birth, I dreamed that a huge ball of golden light fell from the sky and landed directly in the yard of our Lao He family!"
"After my family's Fu Bao was born, the He family was full of joy and happiness. My son didn't know how to fish at all, but he could catch a lot of big fish just by fishing in the river."
"My son doesn't know how to hunt. If he just wanders around in the mountains, he will encounter a hare that he killed."
"Moreover, I was just thinking that my precious granddaughter would help me get a big ingot, but when I went out, I fell down and picked up a big ingot!"
Mrs. Li often showed off to the people in the village when it came to fishing and picking up hares.
But she kept hiding the fact that she picked up the silver ingot.
Old Mrs. Li is illiterate and doesn't understand any common sense, but she has a peasant-like cunningness - she doesn't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of money-picking, what if the owner of the property comes to find her?
Not only did Mrs. Li not tell the villagers about this matter, not even the entire He family knew about it.
Now, more than ten years have passed since the incident, and it is still a critical moment to prove the innocence of her family's Fu Bao. Mrs. Li can no longer hide it.
"Isn't it? Are you really so lucky?"
"Sanya is indeed very lucky. Have you forgotten that that year she went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables with the villagers, and then she dug a wild ginseng. The He family's thirty acres of land was purchased with the money from selling ginseng.
of!"
"Yes, yes, I remember it too!"
"...Bah! What a bullshit good luck, have you all forgotten that her good luck was all taken away from us!"
