Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 44

As soon as Nan Yan finished speaking, all she got was applause from the elder master and the younger master.Xiangmei on the side was already stunned. She never thought that this sister who had always been in love with her would be so knowledgeable, which made her admire from the bottom of her heart.

"The girl is really good at learning, she must be from a rich family?" The elderly master looked at the simple booth and asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm not a lady, just an ordinary peasant girl. Otherwise, how could I show my face and set up a stall in this market?" Nan Yan replied with a smile.

"Hehe...the peasant family can produce such a knowledgeable woman, I think your parents must not be ordinary people."

Nan Yan smiled awkwardly and said nothing.The elder master is right, although his father has been poor for many years and failed the exams, he is full of money.Her mother was once a noble lady in the capital, and received a good education since she was a child.

"You have won the prize. I just happened to be able to recite a few words. From this point of view, we are evenly tied." Nan Yan said with a smile.

"No, no, it should be said that you are slightly better than me. You have read so many books at a young age, and I was not as good as you when I was young." The elder master smiled and said, "In order to bet and admit defeat , I am willing to buy all the food you have left here."

Saying that, the entourage following behind the elder master boiled out some broken silver from their pockets and put it in Xiangmei's hands.

"Well, what's the point of this? I don't have much food left, so I can't charge you so much money." Nan Yan evaded.

"Well, as the saying goes, money can't buy happiness. It's my honor to meet a knowledgeable girl like you today. This money is nothing."

"Then... thank you!" Nan Yan couldn't evade, so she had to accept it happily.

"Great, I can call it a day and go home so soon!" Xiangmei seemed to have never seen so much money, weighed it in her hand, and happily put it in her business purse.

"That's not it, let's go back early and prepare some snacks for the stall tomorrow!" Nan Yan lowered her head and said to Xiangmei.

"Okay, okay, you need to prepare more tomorrow than today, or you won't be able to sell enough!" Xiangmei reminded excitedly.

"Ma'am, how do I get to West Lake Village?" At this time, the elderly master suddenly asked.

"West Lake Village? Isn't it our village!" Xiangmei responded in time.

"Yes, we live in West Lake Village." Nan Yan echoed.

"Oh, that's it, that's great!" The elder master laughed.

Nan Yan was busy cleaning up the stalls, and smiled, "Then you guys can follow us, it's not far away, as soon as you leave the city."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, two girls!" The elder master and the younger master thanked each other.

So a group of six people walked to the outside of Yangzhou City, talking and laughing along the way, talking about some poems and songs from time to time, which is quite elegant.

"Miss, don't you know your last name?" The elder master has left a very good impression of Nan Yan since he met Nan Yan through poetry.

Nan Yan smiled and replied politely: "My name is Nan and my name is Yan."

"Nanyan? It's a nice name. The daughter has a strong family spirit. It sounds like the name of a beautiful woman." The young master also seemed to have a good impression of Nanyan.

"Hehe... Daddy chose the name randomly." Nan Yan laughed.

"Your surname is Nan?" The older master's face was slightly surprised, "This surname is very rare. I only know that there is a scholarly family in the capital named Nan. ran away with a farmer, and has never been heard from again.”

This elderly master seems to know the big family named Nan in the capital very well, maybe he has some friendship.

Nan Yan just buried her head in a smile and remained silent.She knew in her heart that what the elder master was talking about was her mother's Nan clan, but she didn't want to tell.After all, my mother has passed away for many years, and she can rest in the ground, so what's the point of mentioning her now?

"Seeing how young you are, Fangling..."

"I'm 16 years old." Nan Yan replied without waiting for the elder to finish.

"Well, I guess you are at this age, the age of a flower!" The old man sighed.

At this time, the eccentric Xiao Xiangmei didn't wait for anyone to ask, and took the initiative to say: "My name is Zhang Xiangmei, and I am 12 years old this year."

The old man patted her head with a smile, "Hahaha...is it Xiangmei? You are not very old, but you are very good at doing business. When you grow up, you must be the boss's wife!"

Everyone laughed along, and the content of the conversation was very harmonious.

After talking and laughing, they arrived at West Lake Village. Nan Yan pointed to the sign at the head of the village and said, "This is West Lake Village."

The old man looked up at the dilapidated but impressive village sign, and asked with a smile, "Miss Nanyan, do you know that there is a family named Qi living in this village?"

"Surname Qi? Qi Yuhao?" Nan Yan blurted out and asked.

"That's right, that's right, it seems that the girl knows him." The young man laughed.

"Brother Yuhao? Are you friends of Brother Yuhao?" Xiangmei asked immediately.

The young man lowered his head slightly, facing Xiangmei, "You also know? It seems that Brother Yuhao has a good reputation in this area."

"Isn't that right? Brother Yuhao is a nice guy. Everyone in our village likes him. He and I are neighbors, and Sister Yan still lives with him!" Acquainted strangers listen.

When Nan Yan heard this, she smiled helplessly, and said to those people: "Don't listen to this Meier's nonsense, I just send it to Mr. Qi's fence, and I work for him."

"Oh, that's how it is! That's great, it turns out that everyone knows each other, what a coincidence." The young master laughed.

"Then you come with us, he should be home by now." Nan Yan looked at the setting sun and estimated.

The elder master nodded, and followed Nanyan and Xiangmei to look for Qi Yuhao with the other three.

It will take some time to go to the middle of West Lake Village.After all, the village is big, with few registered residents and relatively scattered, so the reason is much wider.

Getting closer and closer to home, at this time everyone heard noisy voices from the front yard, which seemed to be mixed with Aunt Zhang's voice.

"My father and brothers have all gone to sea, my mother is at home alone, nothing will happen, right?" Xiangmei immediately felt that something was wrong when she heard the sound, she quickly dropped the things in her hand, and ran to the source of the sound.

It turned out that the voice came from Qi Yuhao's yard. Xiangmei stood at the gate of the yard, looking in with her big eyes blinking.

I saw Qi Yuhao holding a brocade bag in one hand, and dragging Yu Ranyue out of the courtyard with the other.Yu Ranyue leaned back, unwilling to obey anything she said.

"Yuhao, don't force me, I don't want to leave here, don't force me, I won't leave!" Yu Ranyue's eyes were still red and swollen, and she must have been crying for another day.

"It's not up to you, I have sent a letter to General Yu to send you back to the capital, and you will follow me on the road today no matter what!" Qi Yuhao's tone could not be refuted, as hard as steel.

Hearing this voice, Nan Yan looked at the white horse tied under the big tree at the door. Qi Yuhao had already packed his rations and parcels.

"Yuhao, can't you forgive me this time? I promise you, I will never make a mistake again, please let me stay!" Yu Ranyue begged in a sad voice, her voice choked with sobs.

Qi Yuhao's grip on Yu Ranyue's arm did not loosen at all, and he still pulled it out, "I have already told you very clearly that I will send you away no matter what."

"Okay, if you insist on sending me away, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself for you to see. I will do what I say!" After Yu Ranyue finished speaking, she stuck out her pink tongue and put it between her upper and lower teeth.

"You can't, you can't! Miss Ranyue, you must not do this!" Aunt Zhang tried to persuade her, but she didn't dare to stop her, "Brother Yuhao, let her go first. Said. If this caused a death, what would happen. Besides, she is the daughter of the great general?"

Qi Yuhao didn't seem to hear Aunt Zhang's words, he stopped and looked back at Yu Ranyue and said coldly: "Don't scare me with this!"

In Yu Ranyue's eyes, apart from tears, there was also the shock at this moment. She had never seen Qi Yuhao's attitude towards her so resolutely.

"Yu Hao, you are so cruel..." There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and tears rolled down.

Qi Yuhao remained silent, dragging Yu Ranyue to continue walking out of the yard.After all, Yu Ranyue has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she has a lot of energy in her body, and she is not as easy to pull as ordinary women.

"Since you are determined to treat me like this, then...there is no meaning for me to live in this world!" Yu Ranyue put her tongue between her upper and lower teeth again, and was about to bite hard.

"Presumptuous!" Suddenly heard a man's voice like a mountain collapse coming from the gate of the courtyard, loud and thick.

Nan Yan was taken aback, she turned her head to look around, and it turned out that the sound just now came from the mouth of this old man.

"Yue'er, what are you going to do?" The older man asked sternly with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows raised coldly.

Not to mention Nan Yan, everyone present was taken aback, especially Yu Ranyue, who made trouble for no reason.

"Father... Father... why are you here?" Yu Ranyue was shocked, and almost fell to the ground in fright.

father?Everyone was shocked...

Yu Ranyue's father...isn't that General Yu in the capital?

Nanyan, Xiangmei and Aunt Zhang heard the words, and fell to the ground with a "plop" to the man.

Qi Yuhao also did not expect that Yu Lianxiang would appear at the gate of his courtyard at this moment. He let go of the hand that was dragging Yu Ranyue, bent down and bowed to Yu Lianxiang.

Nan Yan never expected that the elderly master who was talking and laughing on the way home just now was Yu Ranyue's own father... General Yu...

Aunt Zhang, a peasant girl who had never seen a big man before, was so frightened that her legs went weak.Thinking of all the things my youngest daughter and the general's daughter have done against each other these days, cold sweats break out unconsciously, and I am extremely frightened...
