Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 459 Entering the Village
After Zhao Wangshu asked Yun Hao for his opinion, he asked Mrs. Qiao to send Deng Baoying to Yingzui Cliff, the Yun family’s farm farthest from the city, the next day.

It takes an hour to walk down the mountain from Zhuangzi, and it takes a day to take a carriage back to the city from the foot of the mountain.

The carriage swayed as it moved along the bumpy mountain road. Deng Hongying's hands were tied and her mouth was blocked. She glared at Mrs. Qiao with resentment and anger.

"It's because the young lady is kind-hearted. If you were a shameless woman like you, you would have been drowned in a pond long ago if you were in another mansion." Madam Qiao said coldly. She looked at Deng Hongying with disgust in her eyes.

When Deng Hongying heard the word "Shentang", a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but she then raised her head stubbornly and stared at Mrs. Qiao.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I will dig out your eyes." Mrs. Qiao said harshly.

Deng Hongying was frightened by Mrs. Qiao's harsh words and she lowered her head unwillingly.

The carriage stopped at the mountainside. Mrs. Qiao opened the curtain and said, "Come down."

Deng Hongying wanted to resist, but was rudely pulled down by Mrs. Qiao, "Behave yourself. I'm not the young lady. I don't have such a good temper."

Deng Hongying was pulled off the carriage and suddenly felt her legs go weak and she almost fell to the ground.

There was a row of wooden houses on the hillside. They were the road guards sent by Zhuangzi. When they saw the carriage coming, someone came up to ask, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Someone from the mansion." Madam Qiao took out the token.

The man took a look at the tied-up Deng Hongying and smiled knowingly. He did not ask her why she did not take the road that led directly to the main gate of the manor. He said, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

"You have worked hard too." Madam Qiao gestured to the maid to give him a purse.

The man had two sedan chairs brought out for Madam Qiao and the maid to sit in. As for Deng Hongying, she had to walk up the mountain.

The mountain road was rugged, and the embroidered shoes Deng Hongying was wearing were not suitable for walking on such a road, but she had no choice.

By the time she arrived at the village, Deng Hongying was so tired that her eyes were staring blankly, her legs were shaking, and she sat on the ground like a pile of mud.

The village head lady asked someone to take Deng Hongying away, "Sister Qiao, what's going on?"

"This unruly girl, the young lady wants you to arrange for her to do more farm work to temper her temper, but don't let others bully her." Mrs. Qiao said.

"The young lady is too kind-hearted. In my opinion, a girl like this should be sold directly." The village head lady said with a frown.

Madam Qiao sighed and said, "Young Madam saw that she was young and said that she could be taught a lesson. I'd like to trouble you to take good care of her and not let her leave the farm."

"Don't worry, she will be in trouble if she falls into my hands." The village head lady pinched her knuckles until they crackled.

"By the way, the young lady said that the deep pond fish in the farm are fresh and delicious, and asked me to bring a few back." Madam Qiao said with a smile.

The village head lady clapped her hands and said, "What a coincidence! I was just planning to catch some fish and send them to the mansion early tomorrow morning."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then the village head lady arranged a place for Mrs. Qiao to rest.

Before daybreak the next day, the village head led several farmers to the deep pond to fish. "Be careful, the fish in this deep pond are very clever. Don't scare them and make them sink, or they will be hard to catch."

"Boss, this is not the first time we catch fish." The farmers skillfully cast and pulled in the nets, and fat fish jumped in the nets.

"Look, these fish are so fat and delicious. The young lady will definitely like them." The wife of the village head looked at the fish in the net and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

The wife of the village head personally selected the ten largest fish, put them in a large wooden barrel, moved them onto the wooden cart, and secured them.

At this time, Mrs. Qiao had also gotten up. She simply washed up and came over. Seeing that Mrs. Zhuangtou had already prepared the fish, she smiled and thanked her.

"Sister Qiao, you are too polite. These are what we should do." The village head lady smiled, "We also caught a few pheasants, two baskets of eggs, and two baskets of fruits and vegetables. You can bring them back to the mansion for the young lady to taste."

"Young Madam will definitely like these fresh fruits and vegetables." Madam Qiao smiled, "Thank you, Sister Qi."

"No thanks, Sister Qiao. Just be careful on the road and come back when you have time." The village lady saw her off to the carriage.

Madam Qiao returned home with a full load and asked the servants to move the food to the kitchen and register it. The persimmons and pears were sent to Linglong Courtyard. "Madam, I am back."

"You're back. Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Wangshu smiled when he saw her.

"It's not hard. Village head Qi asked me to bring back a lot of things." said Madam Qiao.

"This persimmon looks delicious, and this pear is full of juice. They all look sweet and delicious." Zhao Wangshu took the fruit handed over by Lady Qiao and said with a smile, "Mr. Qi is really thoughtful."

Zhao Wangshu reached out and picked up a persimmon, took a light bite, and the sweet juice instantly filled his mouth.

"Mom, eat, eat." Xiao Yunyu, who was sitting on the kang and playing with building blocks, became anxious.

Zhao Wangshu fed him a mouthful and asked, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet!" Xiao Yunyu opened his mouth wide, "Ah."

"Ah, ah, have another bite." Zhao Wangshu fed him half of it.

Little Yunyu wanted to eat more and reached out to grab her hand. Zhao Wangshu avoided his hand and shook his head, saying, "Children can't eat too much. Eat tomorrow."

As he spoke, Zhao Wangshu quickly ate the other half and spread his hands, "No more."

Xiao Yunyu pouted and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"Yu'er, be good. Mom knows you like to eat, but if you eat too much you will have a stomachache. Let's eat tomorrow, okay?" Zhao Wangshu coaxed him gently, picked up the building blocks next to him, and guided him to continue playing.

Although little Yunyu was still a little reluctant, he shifted his attention when he saw the building blocks in his mother's hands and began to fiddle with them attentively.

Zhao Wangshu smiled when he saw this, and turned to Madam Qiao and said, "You can go down and have a rest."

"Yes, young madam." Madam Qiao knelt down and saluted, then walked out.

Zhao Wangshu sent people to send chickens, fruits and vegetables to Princess Pingyang, while her parents' side sent fish and eggs.

In the evening, Zhao Wangshu and Yun Hao sat opposite each other for dinner. When they were eating chicken, Zhao Wangshu asked him, "Is the chicken delicious?"

"It's delicious. The meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is excellent." Yun Hao picked up a piece of fish and ate it. "The fish meat is also quite good. The chicken should be the pheasant from Yingzui Cliff, and the fish is the deep pool autumn fish, right?"

"Your mouth is even worse than that of the Princess of Yixing County." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"I'm not as good as her. I didn't figure it out by tasting it, but by guessing it. You said you wanted to send Deng Baoying to a farm to temper her temper. Although I don't know which farm you would send her to, but when I saw the chicken and fish, I could guess it." Yun Hao said with a smile.

"But there is more to the village with chickens and fish than just Eagle's Beak Cliff." Zhao Wangshu propped up his chin and looked at him curiously.

"But you are obsessed with the autumn fish in the deep pool of Eagle's Beak Cliff." Yun Hao remembered Zhao Wangshu's preference.

Zhao Wangshu was of course happy that her husband cared about her, and she smiled from ear to ear.
