Just now, when Tao Qiqi gave food to these villagers, Nangong Yi didn't know what was going on, but suddenly felt that the man in front of him still had some conscience.
Judging from the meaning behind those words, he seems to be someone who repays his kindness.
Then why did you bully him like that before?
A chicken drumstick cost him a hundred taels.
No, this man can’t be considered conscientious, because he bought the food with the money he cheated at noon.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yi didn't pay attention to where Tao Qiqi was waiting for him after entering the city. He kept walking forward with his head lowered and passed by the carriage without reacting.
Behind him, Tao Qiqi saw the lost Nangong Yi and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, what are you thinking about? You are so fascinated. The carriage is here."
Hearing Tao Qiqi's voice, Nangong Yi came back to his senses, turned around and looked at Tao Qiqi, scratching his head in embarrassment, and then jumped on the carriage.
As soon as Nangong Yi got on the carriage, Tao Qiqi shouted, and the horse headed towards the Yang Mansion.
On the way, Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Yi, and then asked: "Why were you there for so long just now? Are they causing trouble for you?"
Nangong Yi shook his head and replied: "No, I just told them what you just said about sharing the food, so that they don't misunderstand that aunt."
When Tao Qiqi heard this, she didn't expect this guy to have such a heart. She raised her lips and said, "Thank you."
Nangong Yi replied unceremoniously: "You should really thank me. I paid for the money to buy the food, and I was the one who helped buy it. I also helped you get them out of the city safely."
"How come you paid for the money to buy the food? By the way, where is the money left after buying the food? Give it back to me!" Tao Qiqi said, stretching out a hand to ask Nangong Yi for the remaining money.
Nangong Yi protected his sleeve pocket with his hand and replied: "If you don't return it, it will be my money."
Upon hearing this, Tao Qiqi looked convinced: "Hey, you guy, what do you mean that the silver is originally yours? Yes, the silver was in your pocket before, but it does not mean that it will always belong to you. Don't forget,
You voluntarily used it to buy a chicken leg in the deep mountains and forests. How dare you say that the money you spent still belongs to you?"
Nangong Yi looked at Tao Qiqi: "But for a chicken leg, you asked me for a hundred taels. Don't you think this is a traitorous act?"
After hearing Nangong Yi's words, Tao Qiqi's initial good impression disappeared instantly: "Ignore your purpose of approaching me on the mountain today, if you really got lost on the mountain and haven't eaten for two days, at that time
Whether it's food or water, as long as it can save your life, it's priceless.
Unless you feel that your life is not worth the one hundred taels. Since you feel that it is not worth it, then you should choose to refuse at that time instead of spending the money, eating the food, and then asking the person who saved you to get the money back.
, and even pointed at the person who saved you and called her a profiteer!"
"I..." Nangong Yi was speechless as Tao Qiqi retorted.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was really my problem.
At that time, the other party asked for one hundred taels on the mountain, but he did not express dissatisfaction, nor did he even bargain. If he really wanted to get back the one hundred taels, he would not only be unkind, but also act ungrateful, and even look very ugly.
Little family spirit.
After thinking about it, Nangong Yi quickly returned the remaining sixty taels from his sleeve pocket to Tao Qiqi: "This is the remaining sixty taels after buying food."
Tao Qiqi took the silver, put it into her sleeve pocket, and took four taels of loose silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Nangong Yi, "This is the silver to buy the beggar's chicken."
"No... no need, it's not even worth a lot of money, just... just think of it as me apologizing to you. I didn't think so much when I spoke just now, I'm sorry."
Hearing Nangong Yi's apology, Tao Qiqi had another unexpected surprise. She didn't expect that this arrogant prince would also apologize to a civilian girl like her.
After thinking about it, he didn't argue with him anymore. After giving the money to Nangong Yi, he said, "Okay, just don't do this again next time. You should keep the money. I want to repay the kindness to the folks.
Yeah, I can’t let you give out the money.”
Seeing that Tao Qiqi was not as angry as before, Nangong Yi raised his lips and accepted the money. At this moment, his view of Tao Qiqi began to slowly change.
Soon the carriage returned to Yang Mansion.
Nangong Ye, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, was shocked when he saw Nangong Yi coming in carrying a wild boar, "Why are you here?"
"Third brother." Nangong Yi threw the wild boar on the stone table in the courtyard and went straight to Nangong Ye.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for more than two months. Nangong Yi was still a little excited to see him again. After hugging his third brother, he said slowly: "It's a long story for me to appear here. I'll talk to you later."
Please elaborate."
After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he quickly greeted Jiang Su next to him: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou, how are you doing recently?"
"There is no such thing as Concubine Rou here anymore. If King Qingping doesn't dislike her, please call me Aunt Jiang from now on."
"Then Aunt Jiang won't call me King Qingping anymore. Call me Ayi instead."
Tao Qiqi, who had just entered the yard with a basket on her back and a pheasant and hare, almost choked on her own saliva when she heard what this guy said.
Ayi, Ayi, why do you call me so much like aunt?
Fortunately, there is no such title as aunt at this time, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
"Okay, did Ayi come back with Qiqi?"
Tao Qiqi put down her backpack and answered with the pheasant and hare: "Not only did he come back with me, he showed up on the mountain today. Third brother, you have to question him later. What do we want when he tries so hard to get close to us?"
Why, if he doesn't tell the truth, he will go back to the mountains even after midnight."
"No, who did you call third brother?" Nangong Yi looked at Tao Qiqi with confusion and asked.
Tao Qiqi replied: "Who else can there be?" After saying that, she turned to Fang Yu and said to Zhao Hu and the others: "Xiaoyu, you guys go and deal with these hares, and make some braised rabbit meat to eat with noodles tonight.
."
Chang Wu looked at four or five hares, and then said happily: "The next noodles don't use much rabbit meat. Can half be braised in braise and half be made into shredded rabbit meat?"
Tao Qiqi thought for a while and replied: "Then the hares should be made into shredded rabbit meat. Braise the pheasants with noodles and bring a portion to Mr. Yang's family."
Chang Wu happily agreed: "Okay. Then what should I do with this wild boar?"
"It's the same as last time. After processing, marinate it with marinade and smoke it into bacon, so it will last longer.
"Okay." Chang Wu, Xiaoyu and the others agreed, and then they carried the hare, pheasant, and wild boar to the Yang Mansion's back kitchen.
Today, Fang Yu has made great progress in cooking after following Tao Qiqi for more than a month, and Tao Qiqi can occasionally be lazy.
As soon as they left, only Tao Qiqi and Tao Qiniang were left in the small courtyard, as well as Nangong Ye, mother and son, and Nangong Yi.
At this time, Nangong Ye slowly said: "Go over there and sit and chat for a while."
Nangong Yi knew that the third brother was preparing to torture him.
