Chapter 12 The Legendary Prince Zhou
A line of poetry emerged in her mind: Horses and carriages are passing by on the street, and a handsome young man with a fair face holds a book in his arms.
But I don’t know who he is.
The man was quite generous, with a bright smile, and had the demeanor of a noble gentleman with a hint of cuteness.
"I heard that the porridge in Xiangmanyuan was made by Miss Xie. My grandmother is sick. Can you please help me make a bowl of porridge?"
Xie Yanyan reminded: "I am a prisoner exiled to Lingnan."
The man didn't seem surprised at all and said with a smile, "I don't care."
"You have to ask the escorts first, and I can only do it if they agree."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"I don't do it for nothing, I want to be paid."
"Of course there must be a reward. What kind of reward do you want, young lady?"
"Please buy me a carriage and I'll pay for it."
Xie Yanyan asked Zhu Ba and the people in the town, and they said there was no horse market here, so she couldn't buy a carriage even if she had money.
The man readily agreed: "No problem, just cook the porridge and I can get the carriage for you."
Xie Yanyan thought that it seemed like he had a background.
The man went to contact Li Rong, and after a while, he came over with Li Rong and Xie Anfeng.
"Yan'er, this is Prince Zhou. He wants you to help cook a pot of vegetable and meat porridge. What do you think?"
Xie Anfeng respected his children very much.
The Zhou prince? Is he the Zhou prince from Kyoto who likes to fight?
The resources in the mansion are all biased towards the first and third wives. The Shen family has always suppressed the second wife. In her past life, she was a nobody and didn't know the Kyoto dignitaries or the children of aristocratic families at all.
However, no matter what kind of prince he was, for the sake of the carriage, Xie Yanyan had no reason to refuse to cook a pot of porridge.
So, Zhou Shaoyu went to the market to buy ingredients, and Xie Yanyan rolled up his sleeves to make porridge again.
"What kind of egg is this black egg?"
"This is the preserved egg I made using a secret method. You can't buy it anywhere else."
Zhou Shaoyu immediately understood and promised: "I will definitely not tell anyone else."
Xie Yanyan glanced at him and thought, don’t judge a book by its cover. This guy looks like a handsome young man, but he actually has a bad temper?
The porridge is cooked and its fragrance fills the inn.
After discussing with Zhou Shaoyu, Xie Yanyan filled a bowl and gave it to Song Lingling and Xie Yusheng.
Xie Lingyu was so greedy that she kept pursing her lips, but she didn't go so far as to snatch the food from her nephew.
Xie Yanyan patted his shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to fish porridge later."
Xie Lingyu shook his head. Fish porridge? It smells fishy just thinking about it.
As expected, Zhou Shaoyu got a carriage. The horses were fat and strong, so there was absolutely no problem with their speed.
Xie Yanyan paid him 80 taels of silver for the purchase of the car, and he accepted it without hesitation.
Xie Ning drove the carriage, Xie Yanyan helped Song Lingling get on the carriage, and then pulled Xie Yusheng and Xie Lingyu into the carriage.
This carriage looks low-key on the outside, but the inside is very surprising.
There were soft stools nailed to three sides, cushions on the floor, a folding wooden table, and a small red clay stove fixed on an iron frame. There was also a small iron pot and an iron kettle on the stove.
There were two quilts stacked at the back of the carriage, and in the box under the soft bench were various daily necessities.
There were also a few silk umbrellas and shovels stuffed in the secret compartment under the car.
Xie Anfeng was very satisfied and praised the prince for his kindness. He met them by chance, but he was so righteous.
Iron was controlled by the imperial court, and making things like iron pots, iron kettles and iron shovels was not just a matter of silver.
The old lady stopped in front of the car and insisted on getting in it.
This carriage is much better than Fang's carriage.
She pulled Xiao Shen to block the car: "Even if you leave the Marquis' Mansion, you are still the master's biological child. You can't just ignore your biological father for your own comfort."
Xie Anfeng said with a dark face: "Doesn't father have a carriage?"
"That's your third brother's carriage."
"So what?"
"If you have a nice carriage, you should give it to your father first. Otherwise, the father will suffer while the son enjoys."
Xie Jinrong also kept asking for a new carriage.
"There's no room left."
"Then tell them all to get out. They are so young, why should they ride in a carriage?" The old lady said confidently, "Hand over the carriage."
Xie Yanyan lifted the curtain, stuck his head out, and said, "This is my carriage, you'd better not stop it, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"You are an unfilial person. You are disrespectful to your elders. God will strike you with lightning."
"My grandmother was a married woman of the Marquis, and we are the legitimate sons and grandsons of noble blood. Are you worthy of being my elder?"
The old lady threw a tantrum, lying in front of the carriage, crying and scolding the second wife for being unfilial.
Xie Yanyan called out calmly, “Master Li, someone is causing trouble.”
Li Rong whipped the old lady and Xiao Shen without saying a word.
Shen was in pain and cried and complained to Xie Jinrong.
Xie Jinrong cursed Xie Anfeng for being unfilial and calling his adopted daughter a bitch, and he was determined to enforce the family rules.
"Rebellious son, you and the bitch, kneel down and obey the family law! Third brother, you will enforce the family law for your father."
"Gah~"
A few magpies couldn't stand it and flew by.
The big and messy defense fell on Shen's head again. Unfortunately, the magpie had too much poop, and the former Marquis Xie who was lying down was not spared.
"Ah, ah, damn it! @#￥%..."
Xie Qingmu, why are you still asking for family rules? Just wash your parents’ hands quickly.
It’s weird, why does Ma Ga Zi always poop on my head?
This year's Magazi is very unusual, with a belly full of poop! !
Xie Xiangxiang stood silently beside Xiao Shen. For two days, her grandparents and father had been riding in a carriage, while she and her mother had been walking.
All the money was in the grandmother's hands, so they couldn't even have a sip of hot soup, let alone a carriage.
[Why did the Crown Prince Zhou give the carriage to the second wife? Are they colluding? ]
[However, he will die soon, and the second wife will not be able to make any progress.]
Xie Yanyan listened to Xie Xiangxiang's inner thoughts with a blank expression on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.
Is Prince Zhou about to die?
Was he beaten to death?
She wanted to hear Xie Xiangxiang's thoughts again, but Xie Ning was too lazy to join Shen and the others, so he drove his carriage to the front of the team. After more than 30 meters, she could no longer hear him.
At noon, Li Rong and his companions chose the bank of a big river to rest and set up a stove to cook.
The river runs from west to east, passing through more than a dozen countries, large and small. The water is not very clear, and it is an important river for drinking water for people and horses.
Xie Ning led the horse to graze, while Xie Yanyan, Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu followed the group to catch fish.
The fishing rod in the space was so advanced that Xie Yanyan pulled out a bamboo cage for catching eels.
At the place where the river water drops, Xie Yong moved stones to press down the bamboo cage to prevent it from being washed away by the river.
After a while, the cage was taken out.
Xie Yong brought the bamboo cage back, borrowed a wooden basin from Zhu Ba, and poured the fish out. He actually caught three grass carps weighing more than one kilogram, and there were also quite a few shrimps jumping around.
"Master Zhu, I want to make a fish dish and borrow your cooking utensils and ingredients. As usual, 1 tael of silver."
"No problem." Zhu Ba rolled his eyes and said, "If the fish you cook is delicious, can you give us a bowl to try?"
You get the silver and want to eat for free!
Xie Lingyu twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Then my sister will do her best to please you all."
Xie Tingting leaned against Fang's arms and pouted, "You are such a flatterer, you are not worthy of being on the stage."
Fang: "I have to buy a carriage and caustic soda. I have used up all my money. I can only eat these things that even pigs and dogs won't eat."
Little Shen: "Tsk, you want to make a comeback by relying on smelly wild fish? You are really poor and crazy."
Xie Anhuai: "I really want to eat the Jade Fish from Wanghai Pavilion."
Xie Xiangxiang: [For a bite of food, they are so humble, the people in the second room learn quickly]
The old lady listened to her children and grandchildren, and the anger she felt from being accused of having a concubine in power was relieved. She took out 30 taels of silver and said to Xie Qingmu, "Third brother, go buy the pot of meat and vegetable dumplings that Lord Zhu just steamed."
The old lady distributed a pot of buns to Xie Jinrong, the first wife, the third wife and others, and even gave some to the members of the side branches.
Just don’t give Xie Anfeng’s family any support.
The tribesmen who received the buns immediately praised: "The old lady is as kind-hearted as a living bodhisattva."
Everyone was laughing and talking, and making enjoyable smacking sounds as they bit into the buns.
Xie Yao ran up to Xie Lingyu, waved the bun in front of him, and said proudly: "Meat bun, do you want to eat it? No way!!"
Xie Lingyu was so angry that he clenched his fists and his eyes were red.
The temperature has dropped again, and influenza A and B are emerging one after another. My dears, please be careful, keep warm, and wear a mask~~
