Chapter 164 It’s normal to have a few gossipers in the village
Huaxi Village.
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin drove the carriage back to Huaxi Village, talking and laughing.
The young girls and wives who were gathered together chatting ran home in fear the moment they saw them appear.
Jiang Ruo: "......"
Don't run! We are not wolves or tigers.
We are all from the same village, so it’s better for us to get to know each other.
By the way, I haven’t met many people since I came to the village!
Alas, I am too busy and don’t even have time to make friends.
Xiao Chengjin looked at the backs of the women leaving in panic and curled his lips in satisfaction.
The old man’s medical skills are really good, and the medicine he uses can cure any disease!
Humph! You guys are smart.
Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin's face with a depressed look, and looked back and forth several times, "His appearance hasn't declined!"
"Why don't those older girls and younger wives like to watch it?"
Xiao Chengjin listened to Jiang Ruo's words and his smile froze on the corner of his lips.
Ruoruo, I'm not the peacock you're talking about, how can you let me be admired at will?
"Ruoruo, if they dare to look at me, I will dig out their eyeballs." Xiao Chengjin said with an evil smile.
Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin's appearance, quickly leaned in and gave him a light kiss, then said in a servile manner, "Hehe! Then I'll hide you at home and let me watch you myself."
Xiao Chengjin snorted proudly, "That's more like it."
As the two were talking, the chatterbox Wang came over and stopped the carriage. "Hey! Isn't this Mr. and Mrs. Xiao?"
"It feels like I haven't seen you guys for ages."
Jiang Ruo pulled the reins of the horse, looked sideways at the flattering chatterbox Wang, and said teasingly, "It's been a long time since we last met."
"What? You missed us."
Haha, the wound on my mouth is healed now.
The chatterbox Wang smiled awkwardly, "Well? I just want to ask if your grain shop needs help. My daughter Man'er is very strong..."
Xiao Chengjin glanced at the chatterbox Wang and said coldly, "The grain shop doesn't hire helpers, let alone female workers."
"Ruoruo, let's go!" Xiao Chengjin took the reins from Jiang Ruo and drove away.
Chatterbox Wang looked at the departing carriage and muttered with disdain, "What's so great about that? It's just a few crappy grain shops, isn't it?"
"Even if you beg us to go, we won't go!"
After Wang, the chatterbox, finished speaking, she left angrily.
Jiang Ruo: Okay, you old woman have ambition.
Xiao Chengjin was immediately filled with chills when he heard the gossipy Wang's words. "Ruoruo, do you think she deserves to be punished?"
"She's the gossip girl in the village. I heard she's been punished by the villagers many times before, but she never learns her lesson."
"Besides, this is real farm life, gossiping about other people's affairs." Jiang Ruo said, smiling.
Hehe! It's normal to have a few gossips in the village!
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips and smiled, but didn't reply.
Yes, this little bit of "intrigue" in the village can only be said to be a minor quarrel, while the intrigue in the capital is suffocating.
To be honest, he has liked Jizhou very much during this time he has been here.
Doing things you love with the people you love...
Cherish these days in Jizhou!
When the carriage arrived in front of the house, Jiang Ruo stood up and jumped off the carriage, "Old man, uncle, we are back."
Nangong Yi came out upon hearing the sound and laughed, "We were making a barbecue, you guys just came back at the right time."
"Really? That's great."
"I'll make some spicy fish." Jiang Ruo said, turned and went to the kitchen, and released two fish from the space.
Dongxue came to the kitchen and said with a smile, "Master, I will make spicy fish. You can go and have a rest."
The courtyard suddenly became lively.
After Xiao Chengjin handed the carriage to the secret guard, he walked into the yard slowly.
Looking at the happy scene, a picture quickly flashed through his mind.
One day when I was young, my father entered my mother's bedroom laughing.
At that time, his mother ran out with joy on her face to greet his father and asked the maid to prepare his father's favorite meal.
That should be the happiest time for my mother...
After Jiang Ruo came out of the kitchen, he looked at the dazed Xiao Chengjin and quickly stepped forward, "Xiao Chengjin, what's wrong with you?"
"Uh, you are not missing your father and mother, are you?" Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin's slightly red eyes and asked cautiously.
Xiao Chengjin was as aggrieved as a big dog, "Ruoruo, I just suddenly missed them."
"It's okay, we'll go see them in a few days." Jiang Ruo said, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the corners of Xiao Chengjin's eyes.
Steward Lin and others looked at Xiao Chengjin and thought secretly: Master has become so spoiled since he woke up. It must be the sequelae of the attack!
Tsk tsk! It is true that crying children are comforted.
Zhou Mansion.
Because of the theft of property in the secret room, the Zhou family's wedding was not a happy one.
Since waking up, Mrs. Zhou has tried her best not to think about those bad things.
Without those old assets, how can the Zhou family be considered the richest family?
Old Madam Zhou's eyelids twitched as she looked at Jiang Yunyao, who always had a sad face.
How could the Zhou family be successful if they married a woman like this?
Unlucky star!
Shen Yan looked at Madam Zhou, who looked unhappy, and asked attentively, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
"Yan'er, Mom is fine. Please help me back to my room and rest for a while!"
Jiang Yunyao looked at the departing "mother and daughter" expressionlessly, with a sinister arc at the corner of her lips.
"Madame Zhou, let's go to father's yard."
Mrs. Zhou looked at the strange smile on Jiang Yunyao's lips and frowned, "Yes, Miss."
It’s better to avoid provoking this lunatic in the future!
At this moment, Jiang Qinian was talking to Feng Yi about the lost disaster relief grain.
As the main force in escorting the disaster relief grain, Feng Yi was of course afraid of being implicated in this matter.
He was not idle when he arrived in the town. He secretly inquired about the incident of grain being lost from the town's grain store.
Strangely, the grain shop owners were not as angry as imagined. The most common thing they said was: losing money can avoid disaster.
Alas, I can’t figure it out.
Deputy General Feng glanced at Jiang Yunyao at the door, stood up and said, "Prime Minister, we will report the loss of the disaster relief grain to the emperor after we return to the capital!"
"Also, when are we leaving for Beijing?"
Jiang Qinian rubbed his slightly aching brow and said awkwardly, "Deputy General Feng, we will return to the capital after my daughter gets married."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Feng nodded and said, "Prime Minister, please take good care of yourself. I will take my leave!"
In two days, I will be able to return to Beijing.
By the time they return to the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have gotten married!
Jiang Yunyao watched Feng Yi leave before slowly entering Jiang Qinian's yard.
After entering the room, Jiang Yunyao bowed slightly and said, "Yao'er greets father."
Jiang Qinian looked at Jiang Yunyao, who was full of anger, and shouted sternly: "Yao'er, look at yourself now, how is you different from a madman?"
Jiang Yunyao shrank back in fear when she heard Jiang Qinian's scolding.
"Daddy, Yao'er will stay in Jizhou obediently."
"However, Yao'er also has a request, that is, you must find a disguise pill for Yao'er."
After Jiang Yunyao finished speaking, she imagined the "Disguise Pill" in her mind, and her eyes were full of madness and obsession.
Jiang Qinian's eyes flashed slightly when he heard the word "disguise pill".
He knew that his daughter's mental state was problematic.
"Okay, after Dad returns to the capital, I'll send someone to secretly search for the 'Disguise Pill'. Before that, you'd better not cause any trouble."
After getting a satisfactory answer, a strange smile appeared on Jiang Yunyao's face.
She leaned slightly towards Jiang Qinian, her tone exceptionally calm, "My daughter is leaving!"
Jiang Qinian looked at Jiang Yunyao's departing back and sighed slightly.
Yao'er, don't blame your father for being cruel.
It was really not easy for my father to go from a poor scholar to a top scholar in the imperial examination, and then to the prime minister today.
