Chapter 83 Aunt Qiao Angries the Marquis

Chen Jingyan stared at Yun Qiao and said, "You'll be staying at the manor for the next few days. If you don't like it, you can go back early."

Yun Qiao said hurriedly, "I just arrived and haven't had much fun for a few days. I don't want to go back for the time being."

Chen Jingyan hummed, then continued, "If you have any problems later, go find Mother Zhu. She is a kind person, and I think you will like her."

Yun Qiao nodded.

Aunt Xu was quite quick and brought a sumptuous breakfast in no time.

Yun Qiao looked at the food in front of her. There were three kinds of porridge alone: ​​shredded chicken porridge, eight-treasure porridge, and scallop and seafood porridge.

The variety of buns this time is much richer, with both fresh and sweet flavors.

Yunqiao ate two more braised pork buns and one lava walnut bun.

Chen Jingyan was happy that she could eat it, so he picked some up for her.

"That's enough. I'm full. My Lord, you should eat too. This is specially prepared for you by Aunt Xu."

"Why is there less food for you?" Chen Jingyan asked.

Everyone here was satisfied with the meal, but Old Man Xu and Aunt Xu's son in Aunt Xu's yard looked at the white porridge in front of them and started to mutter.

"Why is today's breakfast so bad? Why is my favorite chicken porridge gone?"

"My dad's favorite eight-treasure porridge is gone too?"

Xu Meixiang looked at her brother who was grumbling in dissatisfaction, and then said, "Don't you know? When the Marquis comes, mother will definitely send all the porridge prepared for you to his courtyard."

"This man who works for Concubine Qiao is also useless. He didn't even tell me that the Marquis was coming."

Old man Xu, smoking his pipe, hurriedly asked, "When did the Marquis come?"

Xu Meixiang rubbed lip balm on her lips while saying, "I heard that he came last night and stayed at Aunt Qiao's room. I'm going to pay my respects to the Marquis later. Dad, hurry up and eat. Mom asked me to invite you all to come together..."

How could Old Man Xu have the heart to eat at this time?

He hurriedly asked, "My Lord, what are you doing here at the farm this time? Where's your mother? Call her over."

"Second brother, quickly take out Daddy's old clothes, and you all change your clothes and dress more simply."

Old Man Xu was wearing the most popular and fashionable men's clothing in Kyoto. When sold in Kyoto, one piece of clothing would cost at least seven or eight taels of silver.

An ordinary old man, no matter how favored he is or how much money his master gives him, cannot wear such good clothes and work in the fields.

It would be normal for this old man to have such a decent piece of clothing, but if even the clothes he wears to the fields are so good, it can be seen that this old man lives a pretty good life in his daily life.

In the Bailing Courtyard, Yun Qiao and the Marquis had breakfast and then went to wander around elsewhere.

This farm is very large. In addition to planting many exotic flowers and plants, it also raises many precious birds and beasts, such as deer, musk deer, wild horses, peacocks, egrets, and other birds and beasts, but they are all beasts that will not harm people.

Chen Jingyan said that when his mother got married, she said that she could give up other things but she must take the farm with her.

"This village is very crowded. If you want to move around in the future, you can ask servants to carry a sedan chair and walk. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it after walking for a whole day."

Chen Jingyan took Yun Qiao with him as they walked and talked.

Yun Qiao watched and played while listening to what he said.

Somehow, they felt like an old married couple walking together like this, but Yun Qiao quickly dismissed the idea.

When Chen Jingyan introduced to her the beautiful feathers of the pheasants on the farm, Yun Qiao said that the pheasant meat was tough and not as delicious as broiler chicken.

Chen Jingyan said that the wild ducks on the farm can fly and fly quite high, and there are also mandarin ducks on the farm.

Yun Qiao was thinking about mandarin ducks. She had never eaten mandarin ducks before.

"Yun Qiao, what are you thinking about?" Chen Jingyan felt that her words were really disappointing.

Look at the beautiful painting of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but all she could think about was eating...

Yun Qiao said calmly, "I have little education, so I cannot accompany you in your leisure time. I am sorry to disappoint you."

Chen Jingyan said, "That's all."

"Come on, take a look. Then, catch whatever you want to eat. I can't stop you."

After all, someone had eaten the ornamental fish raised by the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion.

Yun Qiao smiled, said nothing, and walked forward with Chen Jingyan.

This farm is indeed large. In ancient times, it looked like a visit to one's own farm, but in modern times, it is simply a zoo with many rare wild plants and many animals that can be seen in modern times.

Looking at this farm, and considering what Chen Jingyan told her about his mother, Yun Qiao had an illusion. She felt that Chen Jingyan's mother was a time traveler.

Especially the places where animals are kept in the farm, the settings are particularly similar to those of a zoo.

"Were these brought into captivity later, or did they exist before?" Yun Qiao was very curious as he looked at the group of elks in captivity in front of him. There were so many deer, long-haired cattle, and an animal similar to a mammoth on this farm. Yun Qiao looked at the animals in front of him. It was normal to see them in zoos in modern times, but he was very surprised to see them on his own farm in ancient times.

Chen Jingyan whispered, "When I was young, all these animals and plants in this farm existed. I asked my mother about it, but she just smiled and said nothing. Later, something happened to them, and even if I wanted to ask, I didn't have the chance anymore."

"After my mother passed away, my grandmother and grandfather returned to their hometown and have never been to Kyoto since then."

He looked lonely, as if he was thinking of his parents.

Yes, humans are not plants or trees and so who can be heartless?

Although Chen Jingyan seems cold and unfeeling, he also misses his parents sometimes.

"My Lord, look, the peacock in front has spread its tail. It's so beautiful."

There was only one white peacock here, and its feathers were extremely beautiful. Yun Qiao quickly walked forward and looked at the peacock. The peacock was not afraid of people and kept shaking its feathers.

She is looking at the peacock.

Chen Jingyan was looking at Yun Qiao.

After strolling around, they hadn't even walked one-third of the village when it was lunchtime. Yun Qiao was hungry as she had already digested the breakfast she had eaten.

She asked the maid to bring some cakes. She and Chen Jingyan sat under the pavilion, ate some cakes and drank some tea.

She didn't want to leave at all, so she finally called four servants to carry Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan back.

When she returned to the house, she wanted to lie down, but because Chen Jingyan was there, she couldn't be so lazy.

She could only sit on the chair for a while. Seeing that she looked listless, Chen Jingyan walked over to her.

"You seem to be in a bad mood these days. Are you pregnant?" He asked in a low voice.

Yun Qiao smiled and pushed him away.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? You know exactly what's wrong with me. It's all your fault. I was already exhausted from the ride, and you didn't let me sleep at night. And now you're dragging me to visit the farm during the day. Even if I had a body made of iron, I wouldn't be able to bear it."

Chen Jingyan naturally wanted to get close to her.

"When you've had enough fun at the farm and returned to the manor, I'll ask an imperial physician to see you and help you recover."

Yun Qiao felt very uncomfortable when she heard what he said.

Even though he knew that she had a cold and was infertile, he still pestered her, and his words and actions showed that he wanted her to have a child.

"My Lord, you know my body condition so well, why are you still doing this? It's not that I don't want to have a baby, it's that I really can't."

"I know you want a child, so I won't stop you from liking other women. I think Concubine Cheng is quite good."

Yun Qiao's words also had a testing tone.

See if Chen Jingyan really likes Cheng Danmei.

Of course, Yun Qiao didn't want Chen Jingyan to like Cheng Danmei because she didn't like Cheng Danmei.

"Yun Qiao, do you have to say such things at this time?" Chen Jingyan was angry.

He immediately shook off Yun Qiao and stood up. He turned around in place, but didn't know how to tell Yun Qiao. He was even more afraid that if he continued talking to her, she would get angry and beat him up.

Yun Qiao doesn't love him, no, maybe she doesn't even like him at all.

But he still couldn't bear to hear Yun Qiao pushing him out.

"I'm going out for a walk."

Yun Qiao half leaned back in her chair, watching Chen Jingyan leave. He would rather leave than say anything to hurt her.

Seeing Chen Jingyan being humiliated by her and with a hurt look on his face, Yun Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.

Chen Jingyan, ah Chen Jingyan, you are a man from ancient times, you should have three wives and four concubines, but you can't fall for me.

After making Chen Jingyan angry and leaving, Yun Qiao went straight to the bed, just in time to take a nap.
