After working for more than an hour, a group of people were exhausted and sweating profusely, and finally it was basically completed.
Zhang Yanling returned to the top of the mountain, sat down on a chair under the tent, and fanned the wind with his clothes to rest.
Tan Ruqing and Axiu walked over arm in arm, each holding a bouquet of wild flowers in their hands.
"Master Hou, why are you here for fun? A group of people have been exhausted by your torture. I'm afraid they don't work so hard on weekdays. That Huang Sizhi's legs and feet became so weak that he rolled down the hillside. You really can
Trouble people." Tan Ruqing said with a bright smile.
Zhang Yanling burst out laughing. Just now Huang Si was climbing up the slope to pull the rope. He might have been too tired and tripped over the vines. He rolled down the hillside in a very awkward manner.
"Aren't I also sweating profusely? Why don't you feel sorry for me?" Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Tan Ruqing blushed and glared at Zhang Yanling, stretched out her hand to push A Xiu away and said, "A Xiu, your husband-in-law wants to feel sorry for me, why don't you go quickly?"
Axiu said with a smile: "Isn't he also your husband? It's just a matter of time. It's your turn."
Tan Ruqing stared at Axiu and said angrily: "Oh, Axiu, you have become bad. When did you become so glib? It's over, it's over. Those who approach black are evil. Axiu, you were led astray by your husband. Before.
Where did that Axiu go?"
Axiu covered her mouth and laughed. Zhang Yanling and Tan Ruqing also laughed.
"Sit down and let's talk. You two have been picking flowers all afternoon?" Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Tan Ruqing and Axiu sat aside. Axiu put wild flowers in a small teacup filled with water and said, "It's not just about picking flowers. Miss Tan taught me how to identify medicinal herbs. I recognize a lot of them."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Don't admit these things. Having a female doctor is enough. By then, everyone will be busy studying herbal medicines, but they will not care about people. It is not good to recognize medicines but not people."
Tan Ruqing didn't know that Zhang Yanling was neglecting Zhang Yanling while she was researching prescriptions during her time. When Zhang Yanling went to Tan's house, she had no time to greet him. She was preoccupied with the formula of the herbal medicine and was absent-minded when talking. So she glared hard again.
Zhang Yanling took a look.
"That one sat there all afternoon and didn't know what to do. She doesn't like it, so why come." Zhang Yanling's eyes fell on Xu Wanyi who was on the grass not far away. Xu Wanyi and her couple
The maidservant sat there motionless all afternoon, completely uninvolved in the atmosphere of everyone's play. The same was true for the five masters and servants. It was very troublesome.
"I think the princess can't let her go. I'll go take a look and talk to her." Tan Ruqing stood up and said.
Axiu said: "I'll go too."
Zhang Yanling said: "Aren't you afraid of being driven away?"
Tan Ruqing said: "No. You go too, and the three of us will go together. Don't be so stingy. She is your wife after all, and you are too cold to her."
Zhang Yanling thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Let's go ahead and hit the nail together."
The three of them got up and walked out from under the awning and walked in the direction of Xu Wanyi's master and servant. Although Xu Wanyi and his servants were sitting there motionless, they were actually watching and listening in all directions. Just now they heard the sound of the three people talking and laughing.
I just heard it, and they just pretended not to hear it and didn't even turn around to look.
Zhang Yanling was still thinking about how to say hello without offending Xu Wanyi, but she didn't expect that Xu Wanyi suddenly stood up and saluted him with a bright smile.
"Husband is here, come and have a rest. You have been busy all afternoon. You are sweating here. Come, I will wipe the sweat for you."
Zhang Yanling froze on the spot. This tenderness was so unexpected that he couldn't bear it.
A fragrant handkerchief was wiped on Zhang Yanling's forehead. The sweat on Zhang Yanling's head had long since dried, but the hand holding the handkerchief still wiped it stubbornly.
Zhang Yanling came back to her senses and said with a smile: "No, no, no, how dare you work for the princess." He vaguely understood something in his heart, Xu Wanyi must have done it on purpose.
"Miss Tan, Axiu, please sit down. Husband, please sit down too. Poetic and picturesque, take out the snacks you brought. We are all a little hungry and want to eat something. Sit down, why are you standing there?" Xu Wanyi greeted with a smile. .
Tan Ruqing hurriedly smiled and thanked her, and sat down on the flower cloth first. Zhang Yanling scratched her head and had no choice but to sit down. Axiu also sat aside. Xu Wanyi suddenly became so polite and courteous, and Axiu was a little confused.
Shi Qinghuayi and others didn't know why their princess behaved like this. They only vaguely felt that something was wrong, but they could only follow the instructions to get snacks and fruits. The things were quickly filled with flower cloths, all of which were the top cakes and fruits in the capital, extremely expensive and exquisite. The utensils used to hold snacks and fruits are also extremely exquisite, with silver plates and golden cups, which are exquisite and dazzling. This is not inviting people to eat, it is just showing off.
"Eat, eat. Husband, this is the hibiscus cake from Liuweiju. Try one." Xu Wanyi picked up one and actually tried to feed it into Zhang Yanling's mouth. Zhang Yanling quickly took it in his hand and smiled and thanked her.
"Eat it and see how it tastes." Xu Wanyi said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling actually had no appetite, but out of politeness he just put it in his mouth, chewed it and said, "It's really good. Liuweiju's dim sum really deserves its reputation."
Xu Wanyi smiled and said: "Of course, you get what you pay for. A box of hibiscus cakes costs three taels of silver. There are only ten in a box, so it is naturally delicious. Husband, try this again, small osmanthus cakes."
Xu Wanyi took another piece of snack and stuffed it into Zhang Yanling's mouth. Zhang Yanling refused, and it was not good to avoid it. It was terribly embarrassing. Tan Ruqing and Axiu sat aside and felt very embarrassed. Xu Wanyi's behavior was weird and contrived. , the people around me were really sitting on pins and needles.
"Um... Princess, there are no outsiders here, so it doesn't have to be like this. Ru Qing actually knows what happened between us. You really don't have to be like this." Zhang Yanling couldn't help it anymore and said softly.
Xu Wanyi's hands froze in the air, and the smile on her face slowly faded. Suddenly she reached out and lifted the silver plate and golden cup in front of her, causing the snacks to fly all over the floor.
He sneered and said: "Don't give me face, right? You don't deserve to eat these if you like them or not. Shiqing, throw all these snacks down the hillside and feed them to the dogs."
Zhang Yanling changed color and frowned: "Princess Princess, what are you doing?"
Xu Wanyi said coldly: "What are you doing? I bought these with my own money. I can dispose of them how I want."
Zhang Yanling whispered: "Don't make unreasonable troubles in public. Pay attention to your identity."
Xu Wan stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Pack up your things and let's go. What's the use of living in such a poor place in the barren mountains and wild mountains? It's so boring."
Axiu hurriedly advised: "Princess, don't be angry. You can't leave at this time, it's almost dark."
Xu Wanyi sneered: "I, the Princess, can leave whenever I like."
Axiu didn't dare to say anything and was just stunned.
Tan Ruqing said softly: "Princess! It's really too late. It's not safe to go back at this time. The Marquis didn't say anything, so why should Princess be angry?"
Xu Wanyi said coldly: "Miss Tan, when will it be your turn to talk about the Zhang family's affairs? May I ask who you are from the Zhang family?"
Tan Ruqing's face turned red and she didn't know how to answer.
Xu Wanyi shouted loudly: "Prepare the car, prepare the car, go back to the capital, go back to the capital."
Everyone looked at Zhang Yanling, whose face was ashen, and Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Huang Si, you drive the princess back in person. Yuan Cheng, you take two guards and ride with them to escort her back to the capital safely."
Xu Wanyi glared at Zhang Yanling fiercely, lifted up her long skirt, and ran towards the downhill path of Wild Dog Ridge. The four poetic and picturesque people hurriedly followed with their packages in hand.
