Wang Yurong looked at the house where Xiaolian lived, and her heart finally dropped. She pulled Xiaolian to sit down. Xiaolian was the only one who could be considered a relative here, and because of her, she was demoted to Zhuangzi.
, how could she not be sad.
"Miss, I feel relieved to see that you are well. The people in the village are also very easy to get along with. They don't feel sorry for me, and they even take good care of me. I don't have to do anything. At the beginning, I was afraid, but later I
I understand it was the prince who told me." Xiaolian was a little excited at the end, "The prince is a kind-hearted person. It is normal for the prince to lose his temper when something like this happens, but he still treats the servants around the young lady so kindly. It can be seen that
I still care about Miss in my heart."
Wang Yurong mouthed, "Hey, it's only been a few days and you've already been bribed. If I don't come after a few days, you might even forget who your master is."
"Miss,,," Xiaolian blushed and stamped her feet, "How could this servant be bribed? I was afraid that the young lady would know that she was in good fortune and not know how to be blessed, so she just gave me a few words of advice. You must know that if the young lady teases the slave like this, the slave will be beaten to death.
I won’t tell you either.”
Wang Yurong was already in a good mood. Seeing Xiaolian's anxious and jumping look made her even more amused. She couldn't help but giggle. The master and servant were having a lot of fun here. Over in the main room, Li Jie couldn't wait.
The person who came had a bad look on his face and asked Ji Qing to go over and call someone.
Ji Qing suppressed his laughter and ran away before his master got angry. He went straight to the backyard. Before he entered the courtyard, he heard Fujin's laughter and strode in. Taking advantage of Fujin's happiness, he said that this was easy.
Sure enough, when he heard Ji Qing's purpose, Wang Yurong did not embarrass him and took Xiaolian with him.
In the main room, Li Jie was arranging his bow. When he saw someone coming in, he snorted, "Is it possible for me to take you hunting at night?"
"If you want to ride a horse, I won't go. My legs haven't healed yet." Wang Yurong found a chair and sat down gently.
Li Jie said something to the useless woman, "If you hunt a few rabbits on Zhuangzi, you don't need to ride a horse. If you are lucky, you may even encounter a deer, and then you will naturally have roasted deer meat."
Wang Yurong also saw that this man was a spoiled master who always stood aloof and refused to bow his head. However, he was too talkative and too lazy to compete with him.
In this way, the two of them got along happily and got ready to go. The group of people left the yard and headed into the fields. There was heavy snow everywhere, and Wang Yurong found it interesting and not tired at all.
When he saw a hare, he shouted loudly, asking Li Jie to hit it, but they all ran away. Li Jie was so angry that he yelled, "I just saw the prey and you yelled it away. How can I shoot an arrow?"
Wang Yurong rolled his eyes and stopped barking. Sure enough, he shot two rabbits not long after, and the boy took them. Later, when it was almost noon, he only shot one pheasant, and the group went back.
Li Jie had a sullen face on his way back, "I haven't beaten so few things yet. It's shameful."
It was obviously because Wang Yurong had yelled earlier to scare things away.
After letting him do it all morning, Wang Yurong was also angry, "If you can't do it yourself, blame others. Didn't I see the prey and ask you to shoot it? After all, they are just a few prey. Seeing how stingy you are, you keep shaking them all the way."
Face, your majesty, you are doing this for a few prey, people who don’t know would think you are digging too hard.”
Li Jie's face darkened with anger, "When did you pick it? Can this be confused? I don't know."
Wang Yurong grunted, pulled Xiaolian a few steps faster, and ignored Li Jie. Li Jie was embarrassed in front of his servants. He shook his fist angrily several times before turning away. He didn't care about the woman.
Ji Qing breathed a sigh of relief and finally didn't start a quarrel, otherwise it would still be the servants like them who would suffer.
After returning to Zhuangzi, Xiaolian was a little worried, "Miss, is this bad?"
"It's okay." She felt that Li Jie was a bitch and it would only make her comfortable to scold him a few times, otherwise she would always feel like she was easy to bully.
Xiaolian didn't have to worry anymore. She helped Wang Yurong lie down on the hot bed, served tea again, and just waited for Xiangwu's meal.
One of the two rabbits was roasted whole, and the other was packed and frozen. The pheasant was stewed into soup, and there was also a dish of pickles. Although the dish was simple, it took a whole morning of work and it tasted particularly delicious.
.
Wang Yurong ate two bowls of rice in one go, and drank a large bowl of soup before putting down his chopsticks. He heard Li Jie snort above his head. Wang Yurong looked over, and he turned his head away with a cold snort.
like a child.
Wang Yurong didn't argue with him. After dinner, she and Xiaolian took a walk on the village. Xiaolian noticed that her master was still wearing the same wooden hairpin on his head, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Hasn't Miss found Brother Zhou yet?" Xiaolian said to herself, "At that time, Miss was still so young at the border, and we only met him a few times. Now that we have grown up, we wouldn't recognize him even if we met him.
The hairpin on the young lady’s head was given by Brother Zhou, right?”
Wang Yurong was still wondering why Xiaolian suddenly mentioned this matter, and then she understood that the wooden hairpin on her head actually had such an origin.
If Xiaolian didn't tell her, she really wouldn't know.
"Let's forget about the past. I just saw this hairpin as a simple thing. I don't have any other thoughts." He explained ambiguously.
Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Yurong couldn't help but be curious, "Do you still remember what happened at the border when you were a child?"
Xiaolian didn't think much about it, "Of course I remember. At that time, the young lady rescued the slave and took her home to give her a bite to eat. The Zhou family lived next door. Brother Zhou was two years older than the young lady, but he was very elegant and like an adult.
It was to take care of the young lady. When the young lady was bullied, it was Brother Zhou who helped the young lady. At that time, the young lady was so moved that she hugged Brother Zhou's neck and said she wanted to be his bride."
Wang Yurong twitched the corner of her mouth. From what she knew, Wang Yurong was a timid person. To be able to say such nonsense meant that she really liked Brother Zhou.
"Later, the Zhou family moved away. Brother Zhou said he would come to visit us when he left. Many years later, we also moved back and lost contact." Xiao Lian sighed.
"I was just a child at that time, so what words could I take seriously?" Wang Yurong heard it and regarded it as a story from the past. He didn't feel as sad as Xiaolian did. "By the way, what do you think of my parents over the years?"
?”
She has not had much contact with her mother-in-law, especially since her mother-in-law only cares about Wang Yuhuan and even knows about the close relationship, but remains silent. Wang Yurong is so confused that she doesn't understand why her biological parents are still like this.
Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, looked around and saw no one before speaking, "Miss, I also heard this once. After Madam became pregnant with Miss, there have been troubles in the family. On the day she gave birth to Miss, the family was even demoted to a wilderness.
, so the madam thinks that the young lady is a broom star, but the master persuades the madam that after all, she has no son, so she will have to rely on two daughters in the future, and the madam was injured when she gave birth to the young lady, so she will not have any children in the future."
No wonder he is so cold-hearted.
It's understandable that Wang Yurong has a son. In ancient times, if he didn't have a son, it would be like losing his roots.
"Miss, don't take it too seriously. I see that my wife is quite good to the girl." Xiao Lian was afraid that her master would be sad, so she hurriedly advised her, but she regretted telling her about it.
Wang Yurong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I didn't take it seriously. Let's go back. We are really tired after a long day of work."
Xiaolian saw that her master didn't look displeased and didn't think too much about it.
After the master and servant left, two figures jumped in from outside the wall. It was He Kang and Zhao Hu. He Kang adjusted his robes and said, "I never thought there was such a story. The second lady of the Wang family is so pitiful."
.”
Zhao Hu snorted, "You always say that you are a gentleman, but you actually do things like eavesdropping on villains through the wall."
He Kang pursed his lips and smiled, "Didn't you also listen together? When it comes to villains, we are both villains."
Zhao Hu glared and strode forward.
He Kang was not in a hurry and followed slowly behind him.
Originally, Zhao Hu went to the palace in the morning, but he heard that Li Jie was grounded, so he hurriedly went to find He Kang. He Kang thought for a while, and then took Zhao Hu up to Zhuangzi.
Only after listening to Qiang Gen outside the wall did Zhao Hu believe, "You guessed it right, Ajie has indeed come to Zhuangzi."
If He Kang hadn't pulled him, he would have jumped into the wall long ago. How would he have heard what Wang Yurong's master and servant said later? When he arrived at Li Jie's place, Zhao Hu couldn't help but mention this to He Kang.
He Kang shook his head at the side, looking at Li Jie's face getting darker and darker. Zhao Hu, a piece of wood, had no idea that he was still talking shamelessly, with all his spit flying.
Li Jie knew that Zhao Hu was not smart, so he could only look at He Kang and said with a half-smile, "You are really smart, you know that I am hiding here."
I just blamed the two of them for eavesdropping on this matter.
How could He Kang not know this, but he smiled kindly on his face and said, "You three have been dating for many years, and you don't know this. So He is your friend, don't you think so?"
Li Jie twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head in dissatisfaction.
He Kang shook his head bitterly, "You have become more and more unstable these days. You could lose your temper in the past, but you have never lost your temper before. But now you are always angry. Is it because of your fortune?"
Being poked into his heart, Li Jie felt a little embarrassed and retorted harshly, "Who cares about that woman? She doesn't know any etiquette or coaxing people. She only knows how to make people unhappy and annoying."
He Kang couldn't help laughing when he heard the last part, "Ah Jie, Ah Jie, you are really interesting. On the surface, you don't seem to like me, but when you talk about a lot of shortcomings, it seems that you are really interested in me."
Yes, he is so observant."
"That's not exactly the reason." Zhao Hu also nodded.
Li Jie glared at the two of them angrily, stood up and coughed twice, "Since we are here, we will stay in the village for a few days, and we will go hunting tomorrow."
He Kang didn't criticize this obvious change of topic, but Zhao Hu didn't notice it at all. However, he heard about hunting, so he was naturally happy to have fun.
During dinner, Wang Yurong didn't feel anything when he suddenly saw two more people. However, he was happy to see Zhao Hu and only said that he wanted to continue learning to ride a horse.
