The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 355 Little Unlucky (Part 2)

Today's dinner was cooked by Fang Nai, and Yu Ya'er accidentally added too much firewood, which made the few dishes fried for Xiao Jingkong a bit mushy.

Xiao Jingkong was not picky about his food, he ate up nothing left.

He wants to grow up quickly, and when he grows up, he will be able to marry Jiaojiao!

On the other side, Xiao Liulang in Pingshan Village didn't know that his wife was missed by the little guy. He was helping the villagers carry wood on the ridge of the field.

The inspector of the household department was also transported with him.

More than a dozen people lined up, without moving the place, and the wood was handed over from the first person one by one.

In a shed not far away, Prince An was helping the Minister of the Household Department sort out the account books for his trip to the countryside.

The Household Department of this dynasty is in charge of the national territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters, including farming.

They went to the countryside this time to provide disaster relief, and to help villagers dig canals to divert water and rebuild fertile land after the disaster.

Insufficient manpower, some things have to be done by officials themselves.

King An suddenly appeared in the team on the day of departure. Before that, no one had heard that he would go to the countryside with him.

Anjun Wang's leg injury was almost healed, and he could go to the field logically, and Taifu Hezhuang sent someone to greet the Minister of the Household, so he was left by the Minister of the Household to do some leisurely things.

While keeping accounts, he inadvertently glanced at Xiao Liulang at the edge of the field.

Because of the hot weather, all the villagers took off their shirts, and even the inspector of the household department was shirtless. Xiao Liulang's white middle coat looked particularly eye-catching.

His clothes were soaked in sweat, and they were tightly attached to his body. Normally, he was covered by a thick official robe, which was not so obvious. Today, he saw that his figure was stronger than imagined.

His sleeves were rolled up high, revealing his muscular forearms.

King An subconsciously squeezed his forearm.

I don't seem to be as strong as him?

Besides, King An vaguely remembered that Xiao Liulang was not as tall as he was when he was in the countryside a year ago, why does he look so much taller now?

"Editor Zhuang, are you done with this?" The Secretary of the Household Department reminded.

"It's still a little bit worse." King An came back to his senses, and handed the last page to the Minister of the Household after clearing it up. "Okay, please read it, sir."

Xiao Liulang and his fellow villagers kept busy until the sun was setting.

The folks baked pancakes, steamed steamed buns, and mixed pickles for the big guys. It was meant to kill chickens.

He was rejected by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "The imperial court does not search for the people's fat and cream, does not take a penny from the people, and does not greedy the people for a grain of rice!"

These rice and flour grains were also paid to the villagers.

King An was not used to eating it, even in the most difficult days of Chen Guo, he had never eaten this kind of food, he thought Xiao Liulang was delicious.

Xiao Liulang sat on the ridge of the field with the villagers, without the image burden of an imperial official.

An uncle from a village came over, sat down next to Xiao Liulang, and asked with a smile, "Master Xiao, are you still used to eating?"

"Very good." Xiao Liulang said.

Xiao Liulang treats people coldly, unlike King An who is always as gentle as jade and looks like a modest son, but he works the hardest and has the least airs, and the villagers are more willing to approach him.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the uncle took out a boiled egg from his pocket and gave it to him: "It's hot, eat it quickly! I see you are tired all day, working harder than us digging in the fields! Your aunt cooked it for you!"

Xiao Liulang refused: "No need, I'm full, Uncle Zhang can eat by himself."

The uncle forced the egg into his hand: "Hey, you can eat it if you want to eat it! Last time the dog egg had a stomachache, if you hadn't given him the medicine, how could he recover so quickly! And last time, Lizheng was bitten by a poisonous insect, and you were the one who treated it. These have nothing to do with the imperial court, they are all your own medicines!"

Goudan is the youngest son of the uncle and the aunt.

The uncle knows that medicine is very expensive even though he has no experience. Mr. Xiao emptied his medicine bag in order to treat the villagers. He didn't know how much money it was. In short, it must not be repaid by an egg.

The uncle sighed: "If you don't eat, your aunt will have to nudge me again when I go back. It's not like you don't know how capable this woman is..."

Xiao Liulang finally accepted the egg.

The uncle was very happy, and talked with him about a lot of things in the village with relish, until Goudan came to call him, and he reluctantly left, saying that he would come to Xiao Liulang again tomorrow.

Xiao Liulang also returned to the shed where he lived temporarily.

The shed was built temporarily, and there was only a table, a cabinet, and two wooden beds piled up with benches, one for him and the other for King An.

King An's softness is much more delicate than him, and he even put up a mosquito net.

He didn't use a mosquito net, he had mosquito coils made by Gu Jiao, so he didn't need a mosquito net.

It wasn't too late at the moment, he planned to go to the nearby forest to gather some medicinal materials for Gu Jiao.

He couldn't name the medicinal material, but he saw Gu Jiao drying it in the yard several times.

He took the crate and crutches, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a carriage driving towards this side. After stopping, a middle-aged man in official uniform came down.

Who else is it if it's not Lord Gu Hou?

Gu Hou Ye came to inform them immediately after the road was repaired, and he first went to greet the Minister of the Household Department.

Anjun Wang is also there.

Considering that the two families got married, King An is now his son-in-law. Lord Gu was very warm and polite to King An, but when Xiao Liulang walked past him with a basket on his back, he didn't take it seriously at all. Look at Xiao Liulang.

King An Jun reminded: "Master Gu, it was just... written by Xiao Xiu."

"This Marquis knows." Master Gu said indifferently.

We met face-to-face in the countryside, and he knew him even after being turned into ashes!

He doesn't understand etiquette at all, he is obviously a poor boy in the countryside, but he doesn't take him seriously as his father-in-law, the king of An Jun is not as conceited as he is from such a noble background.

Anjun Wang felt Gu Houye's contempt for Xiao Liulang, and said slightly confused: "He is Gu Houye's son-in-law."

Gu Houye said in his heart, I didn't admit that girl, what kind of son-in-law is not a son-in-law! What's more, even if he recognized that girl, he would not accept a poor boy from the countryside as his son-in-law!

What about the top pick in high school? So what if you entered the Hanlin Academy? Not a bumpkin!

He is Gu Chong's son-in-law, Prince An!

"I heard that you are not used to eating in the country, so I brought you delicious food!" Gu Houye didn't want to say more about Xiao Liulang, and took the roast duck, crispy chicken and jerky that he bought halfway from the carriage, all in one go. The land was given to Anjun Wang, but Xiao Liulang didn't leave any of it.

Xiao Liulang didn't know that Master Gu was partial to please Prince An, so he went into the forest.

He had come here several times to collect medicines, and he was fairly familiar with the roads in the forest, and he found the medicines he needed within a quarter of an hour after walking.

He knelt down and began to collect medicine.

He once heard Gu Jiao tell Yu Ya'er that this kind of medicinal material is difficult to buy in the capital, so it must be dried carefully.

When Xiao Liulang was still delivering medicine to Goudan, he accidentally saw a few of this kind of green grass lying on the ground of their house. After asking, he found out that the small river in the forest to the east of the village was all over the hillside.

Xiao Liulang quickly picked a basket full, and today's is almost done, so he should go back.

Just as he turned around and walked down the mountain, there was a rustling sound behind him, and he felt a chill on his back, and looked behind him suddenly.

It turned out to be a hungry wolf with green eyes shining!

This is the edge of the forest. The villagers have never seen a wolf before, but today they met him.

His luck never disappoints...

This is a lone wolf who got separated from the pack of wolves. It was so hungry that it salivated at the prey in front of it. Without hesitating for a long time, it opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Xiao Liulang!

Before it was too late, Xiao Liulang grabbed a small round bead and slammed it on the head!

There was only a loud bang, and the hungry wolf was blown bloody, fell down with a whimper, turned its head to look at Xiao Liulang, and ran away despondently with its tail between its legs!

Xiao Liulang was drenched in cold sweat.

He looked at the lone wolf fleeing, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "It seems that my luck is not so bad..."

Gu Jiao filled Xiao Liulang with three pieces of black powder in total, fearing that he would blow himself up if he put too much.

After all he's always so unlucky, right?

Xiao Liulang came to the small river, knelt down and washed his face with water.

But while he was washing, he instinctively sensed that a hint of danger was approaching.

Could it be that the lone wolf is back again?

wrong.

This time the breath was much more terrifying than that of the lone wolf.

He frowned vigilantly, and while turning around, reached into the bag containing the black powder.

Not far away, two masked men in black stood on his riverbank holding swords, staring at him intently.

The eyes of the two were full of murderous intent.

Coincidentally, he still had two pieces of black powder left, so he said that his luck was still good——

As soon as the thought flashed, the purse loosened, and the black powder fell into the water with a clatter.

Xiao Liulang: "..."

You can't be floating in life, come on, take the next sentence.
