Chapter 737 It was just a false alarm
The two of them whispered to each other, and after they got the answer they wanted, they stared at the carriage even more closely and chased after it.
"What are we waiting for? Hurry up, catch up."
"No matter what, we have to get it done today. Don't forget what everyone told us before we left!"
After that, the two of them chased even more closely.
They looked like they were ready to die and would not stop until they could rob the carriage.
It was just that they were carrying things on their backs, so they were a little slow in their pace, which was why they were always a few steps behind.
Xiao Nuobao was sitting in the carriage, holding a pot of brewed flower tea and was about to pour it into a small tea bowl.
Suddenly, the aura behind her was unusual, and the little girl couldn't help but narrow her eyes and stopped drinking tea.
Oh?
It's not quiet to enter the palace?
"Mammy, look behind, is there anyone following us!" The little girl put down the teapot and immediately reminded.
Mammy Zheng took out a dagger and stretched it out of the car window.
The cold light of the dagger flashed, and sure enough, two figures were reflected on the blade, and they were clearly seen!
Mammy Zheng's eyes darkened and snorted coldly, "There really is one! Who is so bold that he even dares to follow the princess? Could it be that the thief Gu has left? Princess, just wait and see, these two thieves are left to me!"
As she said that, Mammy Zheng opened the curtain and exchanged positions with the coachman.
She raised the long whip and drove the carriage faster and faster. The
two people behind could only run fast, and the more they chased, the harder it became.
When they saw that the two were about to catch up, Nanny Zheng suddenly tightened the reins, "Princess, sit tight, now!"
The horse neighed!
The whole carriage suddenly stopped! !
The two people behind were caught off guard and crashed into it, falling backwards.
The bags in their hands were also scattered all over the ground.
"Ouch, this carriage... why, why did it suddenly stop?"
"It's worthy of being a carriage in the capital. It also has two wheels, but it's faster than the ones in our small place."
Nanny Zheng raised her wrist, turned over and jumped to the ground, stepping on the backs of the two people.
"You dare to chase after the princess' carriage and try to cheat her. This is a capital crime. Who are you?"
Little Nuobao was not to be outdone. He grabbed the freshly brewed scented tea, let out a cry, and jumped out of the carriage, throwing "Flowers from the Sky" on the backs of the two men!
"Tell me, why are you following me? Are you tired of living?" Little Fatty raised her arms and questioned with full momentum.
Upon hearing this, the two men on the ground were startled, and the ecstasy on their faces almost froze.
"Right, cheating on the princess? We dare not, we just want to see the princess and then give these to the princess..."
The middle-aged woman lying on the ground spoke tremblingly, and pointed to the two large sacks at her feet. When
Madam Zheng opened it and took a look, her eyes were also stunned.
What was inside was corn, dried peppers, potatoes, and slightly fishy dried seafood...
"You..." Madam Zheng was surprised, "What are you doing with all this..."
Little Nuobao took a closer look and realized that many of these were Laicheng specialties that she had eaten before.
She quickly squatted down and took a closer look at the two people lying on the ground. Only then did she realize that they were actually Laicheng citizens!
Laicheng.
That was the fiefdom given to her by her father!
Xiao Nuobao shuddered and quickly helped them up, "You are from Laicheng, get up quickly, the flood almost washed away the Dragon King Temple, and you were arrested as bad guys."
When Madam Zheng saw that she had made a mistake, she was so embarrassed that she scratched her head and almost dropped her silver hairpin.
The two people on the ground were also very happy to see that the princess still remembered.
The two of them hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply, then said excitedly, "Princess, we came to see you specially. This year, the land is rich, so we thought of telling you, you are our master."
Xiao Nuobao rubbed his eyes, looked at the two of them with tea leaves on their bodies, which was a bit funny, and couldn't help laughing.
She patted their arms and asked, "For these matters, we only need to write a memorial and send it to the capital. Why did you come in person?"
The two were a little embarrassed and rubbed their hands and said, "Thinking back then, when our Laicheng fell, the people were almost out of a way to survive. If it weren't for the princess's blessing, which allowed vegetables and fruits to grow in our fields, how could we have such a good life today?"
"Yes, so we thought about it. This kindness is greater than that of our biological parents, so we will never forget it until we die."
"This year the fields have a good harvest again, so we thought about getting some special products for the princess. Although I don't know if you will like it, it is all our intention." One of the women blushed.
Seeing the two of them so simple, Xiao Nuobao's heart was also very warm.
She has helped many people and has never been a person who seeks to repay a favor.
But now, seeing that the people of Laicheng care about her so much, Xiao Nuobao couldn't help being moved and happy.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of helping others.
The powerful give more favors, and the helped ones don't forget their gratitude. Only in this way can the world be perfect.
Xiao Nuobao's eyes were slightly moistened, and she patted their big hands, and then said forcefully, "I accept your kindness, and I will also eat the specialties you brought. Come on, you will follow me to the manor."
The two people from Laicheng, one is called Da Liu, and the other is Da Liu's wife.
Soon, Feng and others got the news, and they all went to Xiaoliu Manor together, accompanying the ladies to receive the people of Laicheng.
Laicheng is located in Jiaodong, not only is it vast and rich in resources, but it is also close to the sea, and the seafood is also very abundant.
The Lius brought a lot of dried clams, shrimps, and dried seaweed, a whole sack of them.
The Jiangs certainly couldn't finish them all.
So the people of Xiaoliu Village also had a treat.
Xiao Nuobao left a small portion to slowly enjoy the kindness of the people of Laicheng.
The rest was handed over to Da Wen and Xiao Wu, who were asked to distribute it to everyone according to the number of people in each family.
Everyone stood at the door of Da Wen's house, holding a wooden basin, looking at the full of specialties that they had never eaten before, and their faces were full of smiles.
Li Qiqiao grabbed a handful of dried clams, put it under her nose and smelled it, and couldn't help showing joy, "This is obviously when the clams are fresh, the meat is cut out, and then dried in the sun, waiting to be cooked wontons or soup, put a handful, don't mention how delicious it is."
Feng Shi could see that the couple Da Liu who came here were both farmers, so she chatted with them for a few more words.
Thinking that Laicheng was the fiefdom of the lady.
So she planned to take out some Persian radish seeds and green rice seeds, hoping that the Liu couple would take them back to Laicheng to plant them. After all, these two things can be sold at a high price.
However, to Feng's surprise, Aunt Liu refused as soon as she heard it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Jiang, but next year, we don't plan to plant any grains, vegetables or fruits. We have already agreed to plant hibiscus cotton!" Aunt Liu smiled expectantly.
Planting cotton?
Feng couldn't help but wonder.
You know, in the north and Jiaodong area, most people grow grain, and few grow this kind of thing.
So she couldn't help but ask, "I'm afraid our soil is not suitable. Why do you want to grow cotton?"
When Aunt Liu heard this, she started talking excitedly, "Haven't you heard that the price of cotton has risen sharply this year, and many vendors are rushing to buy it. The price per kilogram has increased fivefold compared with previous years."
"Yeah, I don't know what happened, but there was a sudden cotton craze a while ago."
"I heard that the price will rise again next year. Don't you think this is a way to make money? So let alone our Laicheng, the farmers in the whole Jiaodong have agreed that next year, not a single acre of land will be left for food, and all will be used to grow cotton!" Big Liu on the side also said with a naive smile.
