Chapter 53 Asking the Little Lucky Star
Jiang Fengnian no longer trusted the two boys, so he carried his sister into the east room and took care of her himself.
When they saw the little lucky star of the village coming, the villagers at the two tables in the east room all smiled and blushed, turning around one after another, and couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Little Nuobao was wearing a pink and purple half-sleeved cape, revealing the small sleeves of the spring peach-colored inner wear, and the skirt was a light pink thick satin with pleats.
The whole person was dressed in pink and tender, making her face look like a little peach, with a pale pink and soft white, so pretty that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"How come the daughter of the Feng family is so fair and clean, like a piece of white tofu." Some women couldn't help but sigh.
"And those big eyes, so bright, they can be brighter than the stars in the sky."
"In my opinion, with this little look, she will be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future, and maybe even marry a prince or a general."
The more they looked at her, the more envious they became.
They wished they could give birth to a lady like Nuobao.
But Feng Jing frowned and snorted when he heard it.
What's good about marrying into a wealthy family?
In the future, his sister will become a wealthy family herself, and she doesn't want to rely on a man to make a living.
But most of the villagers don't have this realization, they just think that the best future for a lady is to marry well, and they don't have any bad intentions.
And some quick-witted ones can't help it at this time, they want to get the upper hand.
"Mrs. Feng, I think your daughter is really attractive. She happens to be my nephew from Taoyuan Village. He is also a rare good-looking man in the surrounding area. How about we get married?" said the wife of Zhao Laoliu from the west end of the village with a cheeky smile.
Before Mrs. Feng could speak, the village chief glared at her: "How dare you say that? Your nephew is as fat as the old sow in my pig pen. Is that good-looking?"
"Besides, he is already nine years old and still wets his pants every day. The benches in the school get wet several times a day. Mrs. Zhao, don't lie with your eyes open." Mr. Zhang couldn't stand it and shook his head.
Mrs. Liu stood up and said, "Of course not. Don't make random comments. In my opinion, my grandson and Nuobao are more suitable. At least they are from the same village!"
When the village chief heard this, he simply raised the chimney pot and hit them one by one.
"What are you thinking? Who is Nuobao to our village? He is the ancestor of our village! If he dares to set his sights on your ancestors, be careful that I, Old Yang, will cut him to pieces!"
Mrs. Feng looked helpless.
She hugged little Nuobao tightly in her arms.
Her daughter is not an ordinary child, and no one can coax her into getting married.
"Our Nuobao's ideal husband will have to be chosen by herself when she grows up." Mrs. Feng laughed softly.
Feng Jing on the side didn't want to listen, and quickly blocked his ears.
What ideal husband?
No one is worthy of his sister, his sister should be beautiful alone, beautiful alone!
After the village chief's warning, the villagers dared not make this joke anymore.
They all sat down obediently and continued to eat.
At this time, a man remembered Nuobao's ability and couldn't help but said, "Fuxing's mother, my son has been working in the city recently. I don't know if the shopkeeper can appreciate him. Can I ask you... let little Fuxing help me?"
Feng heard what he meant and was about to refuse.
However, little Nuobao sipped a mouthful of bone soup and spoke first.
"It can be appreciated, but there will be a little hardship~"
Feng glanced at the lady hesitantly.
In fact, little Nuobao naturally understood her mother's concern. She was afraid that she would say too much and attract people with ulterior motives.
But she knew how to handle this, and just said it was a normal family matter. She
showed her ability once or twice, not to show off, but to convince others.
In fact, the fate of the Southern Dynasty was about to be in chaos. If Xiao Nuobao wanted to protect his home and the village, he had to make the villagers absolutely believe in him.
Soon, the man clapped his legs excitedly.
"That's great. My son broke something in the store a few days ago, and I was afraid that the shopkeeper would dislike him. It seems that this should be the little ordeal. With Nuobao's words, I can rest assured. I am not afraid of small problems, as long as I can continue to be employed."
When the other villagers saw this, they couldn't help but start to try.
So for a while, the delicious dishes on the table were neglected, and everyone looked to Nuobao for help.
"Little lucky star, will my family's harvest be okay next year? Will there be insect disasters? Can we pay the autumn tax?"
"Not bad, but a little rich~" Xiao Nuobao hummed in a baby voice.
"What about my family? My husband went to the southern province to escort the convoy last year and has not returned yet. I don't know if he is safe and when he can come back."
"Good luck, he will definitely come back within half a year!" Xiao Nuobao squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
"Good boy, can you also show me, my daughter can give birth to a boy or a girl this time, if she can't give birth to a son, her in-laws will eat her up." Mrs. Liu asked nervously.
"It will be a boy~"
In Xiao Nuobao's response, many villagers were so happy that they smiled and felt more at ease.
At this time, Zhang Xiucai wiped his sweat and couldn't help asking.
"Nuobao, then when can I, when can I... marry a wife?"
Little Nuobao held a piece of bone meat in his mouth and turned his eyes to stare at him.
Mr. Zhang was born with a handsome appearance, but it was a pity that he would be a bachelor forever, and his fate was to be an old widower.
Little Nuobao sighed secretly. She only said good things today and didn't want to burst Mr. Zhang's expectations.
So she opened her little mouth and babbled: "You, your business... let me see it, you wait until... snore, snore, snore."
Before the second half of the sentence was finished, Little Nuobao spit out the meat in his mouth and fell asleep on Feng's body.
"Wait until when?" Mr. Zhang touched the back of his head curiously.
Feng saw that the lady was pretending to sleep, so she quickly interrupted and asked Li Qiqiao to add more dishes.
As new hot dishes were added to the bowl, everyone's appetite was aroused again. They ate heartily while teasing Mr. Zhang.
"Our village scholar, it seems he wants someone to cover his bed with a blanket!"
"No, no... I just asked casually, don't say that." Mr. Zhang was embarrassed and didn't dare to ask again.
Seeing this, Mrs. Feng hurriedly asked Feng Jing and Feng Miao to carry their sister back to the house.
The young lady said so much, which was considered to satisfy the wishes of the villagers, so that if anyone asked again later, this little sweet girl would be tired.
Just when Feng Jing carried Nuobao out of the house, a pair of cunning eyes suddenly turned in the corner.
"Mom, do you have an eye disease? Why do you keep rolling your eyes?" Li Wencai was brought to the banquet by his mother. When he turned around, he saw that Aunt Li's face was not right.
Aunt Li bit the end of her chopsticks tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Son, do you think this daughter of the Feng family is really capable? If everything she says is true, I have to ask her, when will your father give up his mistress in the city and come home to live with us!"
Li Wen only then knew that his mother was beaten by his father again yesterday, and now his mother is in a bad mood.
He frowned and wanted to say that he didn't want this father anymore.
But Aunt Li ignored him and got up secretly.
While Feng Shi didn't see, she went to the main room with red eyes...
