Chapter 129 The distinguished guest has arrived
As they were talking, a red-maned horse with a gorgeous saddle had stopped at the entrance of the village.
Xiao Lanyi, wearing a light white gown, with a pair of sleeves tied tightly around his wrists, and his long hair tied up high, jumped off the horse.
At this time, he was carrying several large bags, grinning with exhaustion, and ran happily towards the Jiang family.
"Nuobao, Sister Feng, I'm here to see you! The pickled cabbage last time was really delicious, is there any left at home?"
Xiao Lanyi was like a conspicuous bag.
Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first, causing the whole village to look out, envious of the distinguished guest coming to the Jiang family again.
Feng had just finished eating all the chicken food and turned around in surprise: "That sound, is it Young Master Xiao... coming?"
"Xiao Guoguo!" Little Nuobao laughed, and she ran out happily without even looking.
As expected, as soon as she ran to the door, she bumped into Xiao Lanyi.
Little Nuobao kicked off the big shoes that didn't fit his feet, and his bare feet were as sweet and soft as a sugar dumpling. He stretched out his hands and waited for Xiao Lanyi to hug him.
"Xiao Guoguo, you are finally here, Nuobao missed you~"
Xiao Lanyi didn't like to show off.
He didn't bring any entourage on this trip, and he had to carry everything by himself.
He quickly put down his luggage, and then he reached out to hug Nuobao.
"Brother Xiao misses you too. Let me take a good look at our Nuobao. Has she grown taller?" Xiao Lanyi hugged the little girl tightly in her arms.
She was afraid that she would fall down.
After not seeing her for a few months, the little girl not only grew half an inch taller, but also became rounder. With her fair skin, she looked like a big pearl, so cute that it touched people's hearts.
Xiao Lanyi's heart was about to melt. She was so fond of her that she was about to kiss her chubby face.
However, the little Nuobao tilted his head, turned his head away in disgust, and dodged.
She pouted her little mouth high, as if she was going to hang a bottle of oil on her: "Xiao Guoguo is a liar. Nuobao is not going to be with you anymore!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Lanyi was surprised.
"You clearly said that you would come back to see Nuobao after the New Year, so Nuobao has been counting the days with his toes every day. But you just came now, and you dare to say that you want to cheat Nuobao!" The little baby was full of anger.
She even deliberately raised one foot, pretending to count for Xiao Lanyi.
This aggrieved look made the Jiang family laugh.
"Child, your feet are just stained with dust on the ground, don't dirty Mr. Xiao's clothes." Feng said with a smile.
Xiao Lanyi was afraid of losing Nuobao's favor, so she quickly explained: "I dreamed of going back to Dalui Village. It's all my mother's fault for forcing me to get married and not letting me go out. She also asked me to meet some noble lady every day."
"If the imperial teacher hadn't arranged an errand for me, I would have been able to get away. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you now." Xiao Lanyi also felt wronged.
Speaking of urging marriage, all parents in the world are the same. Feng is also a mother, so she naturally understands it.
Xiao Lanyi complained to the Jiang family with a silly mouth.
Everyone laughed and laughed, and Xiao Lanyi winked at Nuobao again: "By the way, Nuobao, you are so good at fortune-telling, why don't you help Brother Xiao to see when I can get a good marriage, so that my mother won't urge me all day long."
Little Nuobao waved his little fist in protest.
She is a fairy!
Not a fortune teller!
If she told Xiao Lanyi to do the fortune telling, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
Although she said so, Xiao Nuobao's curiosity was also aroused. She also wanted to know when the right person for Xiao Gege, this funny guy, would appear.
However, after visualization, Xiao Nuobao was surprised to find that there was a big wolf star hanging on Xiao Lanyi's red luan line!
Wolf star belongs to Yang and represents men.
Could it be that Xiao Gege's right person is not a woman?
Xiao Nuobao's pupils trembled and her mouth opened wide.
She didn't dare to help Xiao Lanyi open the "cabinet door", so she quickly closed her mouth and pretended to look up at the sky...
Fortunately, Xiao Lanyi just asked casually and didn't notice the aunt's smile on Nuobao's face.
He hadn't been back to live at the Jiang family for a long time. Now that he was here, he was extremely happy and started to look around the rooms.
Feng finally understood why the lady asked for more dishes at noon.
She put on an apron, smiled, and began to prepare things in the outer room with Li Qiqiao.
Although Xiao Lanyi was capable of being independent, he was still a teenager of sixteen or seventeen. After he entered the house with Nuobao, he started to be annoying.
He first took Feng Miao's textbook, pointed at the dog-like handwriting on it, and laughed with his hands on his hips, which made little Feng Miao so angry that she jumped up and retorted.
He went to see the sleeping Chun Ge'er again, and thought the child's sleeping position was wrong, so he woke him up and let him go back to sleep, causing Chun Ge'er to cry loudly.
At noon, the Jiang family's dining table was so full that it was almost impossible to fit in.
Because Xiao Lanyi preferred peasant food, Feng didn't prepare anything fancy. She just served a basin of three fresh vegetables, a big bowl of pickled cabbage, tofu and pork belly, a plate of Spanish mackerel cakes, a plate of sliced salted duck eggs, and a pot of millet porridge. That was enough.
Xiao Lanyi had long been craving for this.
Now he sat cross-legged, grabbed the chopsticks and shoveled rice into his mouth. He didn't care about his image as a gentleman at all. He was as honest as a peasant boy.
Feng's mouth was almost grinning.
She motioned Li Qiqiao to go to the field and get more pickled cabbage and pork belly.
The Jiang family liked this talkative and friendly young man, and kept asking him about the things in the capital.
"By the way, I heard that the emperor died,... no, he died, does Mr. Xiao know how he died?" Sun Chunxue was extremely curious and asked with a smack on his lips.
Xiao Lanyi put down her bowl and slapped her thigh.
"Not only do I know, I was watching from under the Vermillion Bird Terrace at the time. Don't mention it, the old emperor vomited blood and it all splashed on my new clothes. It cost more than a hundred taels of silver to wear that one. I was really heartbroken!"
Xiao Nuobao bit the Spanish mackerel meat and knocked on his hand with chopsticks: "Xiao Guoguo, tell me the point, don't show off your wealth!" He
should tell me what happened to that old guy.
Xiao Lanyi responded, tilted her head and smiled, "Actually... I didn't see it clearly either. I only know that the imperial teacher said that he wanted to pray for rain for the people that day, and forced the late emperor to ascend the Vermillion Bird Terrace. As a result, when the salute to the sky was sounded, the late emperor seemed to have an acute illness, suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, and then he was gone..."
He fell to the ground and died in full view of the public.
Although the people in the six ministries were suspicious, they could not find anything, so they had to give up.
"It is estimated that it was poisoning." Xiao Nuobao hummed in a muffled voice
after hearing this. However, the Jiang family did not care about the details. After listening to it, Jiang Fenghu couldn't help but wink at Xiao Lanyi.
"Mr. Xiao, it rained in the capital later, right? Then do you know who was responsible for this?" Jiang Fenghu secretly rubbed his face and couldn't help showing off his sister.
As a result, Xiao Lanyi slapped her thigh again, and then she remembered the main business: "Of course it's Nuobao."
"You know?" The Jiang family was very surprised.
Xiao Lanyi jumped to the ground, opened her bag, and took out a box: "I almost forgot about this. I came to Daliu Village to do errands for the national teacher! The national teacher specially gave Nuobao a reward and asked me to bring it to you."
Feng Shi hurriedly took it and opened it. There was actually a row of twelve gold ingots inside!
"This is too much, are they all for Nuobao?" Feng Shi's eyes were bright.
Xiao Lanyi smiled and nodded: "The Imperial Master said that Nuobao has made great contributions, but because of the internal reasons for the death of the previous emperor, he cannot be publicly mentioned, and therefore he cannot be publicly rewarded, so I was asked to come alone to give him enough gold."
Feng's chest was beating fast, she stretched out her hand and kept stroking her heart, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.
Twelve big gold ingots!
How many years of running a charity hall would it take to earn back this much!
She glanced at the young lady who was laughing, and then touched a familiar place to hide the gold ingots.
She collected all the gold ingots that Xiao Lanyi had given her, the silver bills that Old Song had given her, and this box of gold ingots together, and did not give them to anyone, but only kept them for the young lady's dowry!
