Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 17

Zhao Yi went to the gate of the courtyard to lead the horse. Qi Yuhao brought the horse for Zhao Yi at the post station. The next morning Zhao Yi went to the market to sell calligraphy and paintings, and he returned the horse by the way.

Now that night has fallen, it is a little distance from Xihu Village to Shugang Village, but it will be much faster on horseback.

"Daddy, be careful on the road." Nan Yan looked at Zhao Yi, who was full of silver hair and frowning all day long, and cared with some distress.

Zhao Yi held the rein and stared at Nan Yan's lovely face with pity, "Daddy is fine, Daddy is very strong. But you, Yan'er, take good care of yourself and be obedient..."

Zhao Yi's friendship with Qi Yuhao knew that he would not treat his daughter badly.The implication of his "obedient" is to ask her to take good care of this unexpected guest, Yu Ranyue, and not to be tormented to death by her young lady's temper.

"Don't worry, old man Zhao, Yan'er is here with me, everything will be fine." Qi Yuhao stepped forward to comfort him.

Zhao Yi nodded, and struggled to climb onto the horse's back. The horse moved very slowly, and it took a while to watch the thin and crooked figure of old man Zhao Yi disappear into the thick night.

Zhao Yi has a good ability to cure snake venom, but he saves people for free.It stands to reason that the old lady at home, who is open to money, would have a quarrel with him because of this matter, but Mrs. Wang never mentioned this.

The reason is simple, Zhao Yi's ability to cure snake venom was taught by Wang's father, and Wang's father also treated snake venom for free when he was alive.

At that time Zhao Yi was still very young, with a simple appearance, but an indelible bookishness.He often went to Wang's home to learn how to cure snake venom with his father. After going back and forth, the young Wang fell in love with Zhao Yi.

Wang Shi's father was also very optimistic about Zhao Yi back then, so he made Zhao Yi and Wang Shi be engaged.Zhao Yi didn't have a good impression of the Wang family back then, but in order to repay his teacher's kindness, he acquiesced.

Later, Zhao Yi went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Although he failed the exam, he unexpectedly met Nan Shi, who was born in a scholarly family, and the two fell in love soon.

Regardless of family objections, the Nan family eloped with Zhao Yi and came to live in Shugang Village in the outskirts of Yangzhou City.After hearing the news, the Wang family, who had already engaged Zhao Yi, immediately fidgeted and came to Shugang village to trouble Zhao Yi and Nan family over and over again, regardless of her image as a big girl.

Wang's father is a sensible person, knowing that twisted melons are not sweet.After trying to persuade Wang several times, Wang stopped for a while.It's just that Zhao Yi was Wang's first sweetheart, and with her naughty and unreasonable energy, Zhao Yi and Nan's life was not so peaceful in those few years.

After Nan Yan gave birth to Nan Yan with difficulty and passed away, Wang was overjoyed immediately and persuaded his father to talk to Zhao Yi about proposing marriage again.

At that time, Wang's father was already old, and it can be said that he had only his last breath left.Zhao Yi also felt that he was really ashamed of the Wang family back then, so he agreed to remarry and brought Wang into the family.At that time, Nan Yan was not yet one year old, so Wang dragged Zhao Yi into the same room and forced her to conceive Zhao Mingda.

The subsequent situation became very clear. Zhao Yi was not afraid of Mrs. Wang, but felt deeply guilty towards her.

Nan Yan and Qi Yuhao watched Zhao Yi leave, and did not return to the house until Ying'er disappeared.

When Nan Yan entered her room, she found that the mattress and quilt she usually used had been thrown on the ground beside her by this young lady named Yu Ranyue.

"What are you doing?" Nan Yan was a little surprised and asked angrily.

Yu Ranyue shook her hands, sat on the edge of the wooden couch, and said arrogantly: "You servant is so rude, you will call me miss when you see me. Now I sleep on this wooden couch, of course I have to change to a clean bedding."

Nan Yan made a fist with her hands behind her back, gritted her teeth slightly and said, "Miss, it's okay to change into a clean bedding, but you don't have to throw my things on the ground, do you?"

"You are a servant, what's wrong with throwing your things on the ground? Do you still want to sleep on a wooden couch with me? It's a good idea, I'm the lady of the general's mansion, how can I sleep on the same couch with a servant!"

This Yu Ranyue said "servant" one by one, which was really harsh.

"Enough!" Just when Nan Yan was about to refute, Qi Yuhao yelled from the door with no tone, "Nan Yan, go to my room and bring a set of clean quilts for Ran Yue to spread. "

"But I..."

Nan Yan wanted to ask herself where she slept tonight, she couldn't sleep on the floor, right?At that time, there were no tiles or floors, just a gray muddy floor.

Before Nan Yan could ask, Qi Yuhao had already turned around and left, going to Aunt Zhang's house next door.

Ever since this person named Yu Ranyue appeared, Nan Yan had nowhere to release the sullenness in her heart.

Qi Yuhao knew that Yu Ranyue was unruly and self-willed and looked down on others, but he seemed to see nothing, and took good care of her instead.

Nan Yan glanced at Yu Ranyue who was arrogant and domineering by the wooden couch, stomped out of the room, and went to Qi Yuhao's side to get clean bedding.

She brought a set of blue brocade quilts, because the two huts were originally lived by Qi Yuhao alone, so the quilts and the like were all in cooler tones.

"Miss, please make room, I'm going to make the bed." Nan Yan said with her small mouth angrily.

Yu Ranyue didn't answer, but stretched herself, and walked leisurely to the door of the house.

How long has it been? It's enough to take care of Qi Yuhao's exquisite life, and suddenly there is a general's little daughter with a very bad temper. I really can't beat him.

Nan Yan buried her head in spreading the bedding, feeling extremely depressed.

After a while, I heard Yu Ranyue's voice from the door of the house, "I said, what are you two doing? Why are you moving a broken wooden board into my house?"

Nan Yan was curious when she heard the sound, and went to the door of the house to have a look. She saw the second and third sons of Aunt Zhang's family bringing a small wooden plank to the house.

"Brother Yuhao asked us to carry this room, saying it was for Yanmei to sleep." The two brothers replied honestly.

"What, put wooden planks on the floor in my house? No, no, how can I share the same room with a servant?" Yu Ranyue waved her hands pretentiously, and looked at Aunt Zhang's brothers with disgust.

At this time, Qi Yuhao walked in slowly from the gate of the courtyard, stretched out his hand behind his back, and said distantly: "If you don't agree, Ran Yue, I will hurry up and send you back to General Yu tomorrow."

When Yu Ranyue heard this, she was at a loss for words, and her face was full of displeasure, "Okay, okay, this is the countryside, I'll just sleep in the same room with this servant for now."

The Zhang family brothers carried the long and narrow wooden plank into the house, and placed four smooth stones under it, so that there is no need to fear that the moisture on the ground will penetrate into the human body.

Nan Yan picked up the quilt that Yu Ranyue threw on the ground just now, shook the ashes, and spread it in two layers on top of the small wooden board.This wooden board is only half the width of the wooden couch, so the bedding will naturally be folded smaller.

"Sister Yan, is this piece of wood enough to sleep on? If it's not enough, my third son and I will borrow another piece from the neighbor's house to put it together." asked the enthusiastic second son of the Zhang family. He was as old as Nan Yan, with a serious face The look of a farm tough guy.

"Enough, enough, enough sleep." Nan Yan quickly straightened up and thanked the two sons of the Zhang family, "Thank you so much for helping me so much."

"It's okay, my mother said that you and Brother Yuhao are good people. Good neighbors, Sai Jinbao. In the future, our three brothers will often go fishing with our father, and our mother and sister Yao will trouble you to take care of them. "The third son said with a smile.

This West Lake Village makes a living by fishing, and the men in West Lake Village can be seen working hard everywhere on the West Lake.Uncle Zhang got acquainted with a foreign sea businessman by an accident, and learned that he could make a lot of money by catching sea fish where the supply is not close to the sea.

Since then, Uncle Zhang took his three sons and the businessman to go fishing in the sea far away, and then brought them back to supply the major restaurants in Yangzhou City to make a living.

"The servants and the country people just get along well. No wonder they come from the same background." Yu Ranyue on the side murmured, and then covered her nose with disgust, "Get out, get out, you smell like fish , smoked to death."

According to Nan Yan's temperament in her previous life, she would have gone up to "reason" with Yu Ranyue, but this guy is the general's daughter, so she can't say anything, and she can't be beaten, not to mention that Qi Yuhao is still partial to her.

Nan Yan and Qi Yuhao expressed their gratitude to the two sons of the Zhang family and sent them out of the house.If it wasn't for the simplicity and honesty of the Zhang family, who didn't care about the little girl, and because she was the general's daughter, they might have already taught her a lesson.

Nan Yan stood at the door and let out a sigh of relief, expressing her helplessness.She squinted at Qi Yuhao, but he still went back to the room with a blank expression on his face.

Nan Yan never could see what was going on in Qi Yuhao's mind, she only knew that his city was very deep.

Just as Qi Yuhao was about to enter his room, he stopped, "Hurry up and boil some hot water, and let Ran Yue take a bath first."

Regarding Yu Ranyue, Qi Yuhao really took care of every detail.

Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, and replied feebly: "Understood, I'll go right away."

Nan Yan expressed that she was under a lot of pressure to be busy with the affairs of the two masters.I originally thought that I would get rid of the pair of Wang's mother and son who were in trouble, and come to West Lake Village to live a happy and leisurely life.Unexpectedly, starting from this night, her leisurely life would stop here.

Not to mention how difficult Miss Yu Ranyue's living habits are, her unpopular sharp mouth alone makes people itch.

"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and boil the water, I want to take a bath!" The uninvited guest who was difficult to serve called out again.

"Understood, Miss..." Nan Yan angrily prolonged the word "Miss", and went to the kitchen with a muffled grunt.

Originally, one tank of water a day was enough for her and Qi Yuhao, but with the sudden arrival of the young lady, it seemed that Nanyan's job of fetching water had to be increased.
