Chapter 206 Too Attentive
A young man dressed in shorts came over to wait as soon as he saw the carriage.
"Who are you?"
Ye Wan got off the carriage first.
I glanced at this person; he looked a lot like the rough, tough guy from farming novels.
He has slightly dark skin, sharp features, and is tall and strong.
"I'm Xiaoyu. I usually run errands and deliver messages. If you need my help, Madam Ye, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Such a tall and imposing person, yet he's called Little Fish, hilarious!" Er Ya saw him from the carriage and covered her mouth with a laugh.
Huigu spoke up, "Second Miss, you mustn't make fun of people to their faces."
Er Ya immediately straightened up. "Auntie, I'll remember. Don't punish me by making me copy books when we get back."
Of course not.
"Copy it twice."
"Yes, Auntie."
Er Ya got off the carriage.
Daya and Sanya also came down.
As the two girls grow up, Hui-gu is now paying more attention to their memory rules.
These are behaviors they like in daily life, so it's better to raise them from a young age.
Hui Gu didn't put in any effort at Ye Wan's place.
This mistress can be more noble than any noble lady she has ever met, and more shameless than anyone else, even managing to coax the male master into a pouty smile.
All three of them were dressed very casually today, but they still attracted a lot of attention as soon as they got out of the car.
"Madam Ye, this way please." Yu'er glanced at Ye Wan and then looked away, leading the way for her.
Ye Wan walked through the fields and casually pointed, "Who did this job? It's very standard."
"It's me. It's my honor that Madam Ye finds me pleasing to the eye." Yu'er smiled, looking slightly silly, but this sturdy man clearly had considerable strength.
There were still many people working in the fields.
Not far away, Jiao Zhang was working with a hoe, wielding it one stroke at a time.
Ye Wan saw this but didn't go over to offer help. It was obvious that the other party didn't like her, so why bother trying to be nice to them?
Ye Wan was busy for the rest of the time, and the three girls followed her. She even personally demonstrated how to open a ditch.
Time flies and it's noon already.
The workers also took a break.
Farmers are sometimes too busy to go home for meals and just grab a quick bite in the countryside.
Just then, the fish came again, carrying a basket in its hand.
"This was made by my mother. She specially packed a lot of it, so please don't mind, Madam Ye."
The basket was opened and inside were wild vegetable dumplings and two small side dishes, which looked very appetizing.
"I also come from a farming family, so of course I won't look down on it. We'll all eat together."
Ye Wan had originally planned to have Hui Gu fetch the dry rations from the carriage, but upon seeing this, she started eating cornbread instead.
The side dish served with the steamed corn bread was pickled green beans.
"This woman, who looks like a fairy, actually knows how to farm? I thought it was just a joke."
A few men working nearby started chatting.
"Didn't you hear me? They come from a farming family too, so why don't they know how to do farm work?"
"It doesn't look like one at all. How could a farm raise such a noble-looking animal?"
Everyone kept a distance from Ye Wan, since they had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
Under the sun, it was so white it almost glowed.
"This wild vegetable bun is really delicious. It used to be awful when we ate it. It was bitter and astringent." Er Ya praised it after taking a bite. The taste was indeed very good.
Especially now, it's the season for wild vegetables to sprout, and they're particularly fresh.
Da Ya smiled and said, "I wasn't very good at cooking back then, so I'm sorry to have troubled you two."
No one taught her how to cook; she learned by herself. Thinking back, it was quite pitiful for the three sisters back then.
Ye Wan also remembered the bowl of hard-to-swallow wild vegetable porridge she had eaten when she first arrived.
"My mother is skillful; she always makes ordinary things taste delicious. If she could please my wife, she would be very happy." Yu'er laughed, sat down on the ground, and ate the cornbread with gusto.
Ye Wan asked Hui Gu to go and put the paper package in the basket that was originally filled with steamed buns. "These are snacks from home. Take them back to your aunt and thank her."
"No need... really no need."
Yu'er immediately blushed, looked at Ye Wan, wanted to refuse, but didn't know how.
"It's only right to reciprocate, so I'll accept it."
After Ye Wan finished speaking, she looked into the distance. When she looked away, Yu'er blushed to the roots of her neck.
On the ridge of a field not far away, Jiao Zhang was also eating. Her daughter, Jiao Xia, had brought her the food.
"Father, is that pretty woman the one you mentioned? Does she really know how to farm?!" Jiao Xia noticed Ye Wan from afar.
Ye Wan stood out in the crowd. Despite wearing a light blue dress, she had fair skin and a curvaceous figure, making her a beauty at first glance.
"Why is Yu'er with her?" Jiao Xia saw Yu'er following behind Ye Wan again, and her heart ached.
"Never mind that."
Jiao Zhang ate the wild vegetable buns with gusto, without even looking up.
He only cares about cultivating the land well and hoping for a good harvest; he doesn't want to get involved in anything else.
"Oh." Seeing her beloved surrounded by other women, Jiao Xia felt a little disappointed, but still picked up her basket and left.
"Lord Jiao."
While Jiao Zhang was working, Ye Wan arrived.
"I'm going back now. I'll leave the rest to you. I'll come back tomorrow. Please keep an eye on the seeds and make a few more of these small knives while you're at it."
Ye Wan's main concern was that the seeds might be stolen.
Jiao Zhang didn't say a word, and Ye Wan left again.
"ah--"
Hearing the coachman Xiao Ma scream in pain, Hui Gu rushed over, "Xiao Ma, what happened to you?"
Xiao Ma held up his swollen hand. "A bug that came out of nowhere bit my hand and caused this. It hurts so much."
Oh no, is he going to die from poisoning?
When Xiao Ma saw that it was swollen like a pig's trotter, he was almost scared to tears.
"You're really unlucky. This kind of insect isn't poisonous, but it stings a lot. Applying this herb to it will help, but it will hurt all day."
The fish wiped off a few blades of grass and handed them to the coachman, Little Horse.
"What am I going to do? I still need to drive the carriage back." The little horse was still in a lot of pain and couldn't hold the reins.
“I’ll come. I used to drive carriages for important people.”
Seeing this, the fish sat down in the carriage.
Hui Gu frowned, said nothing, and lowered the curtain.
When she got home, Huigu told her about it.
"Madam, this man is being far too attentive to you."
"Let's see what he's planning to do first," Ye Wan wanted to know his purpose.
Hui Gu thought to herself, "The lady is beautiful, this man is probably after her."
If the master finds out, he'll probably be furious.
...
...
In the distance lies Jizhou, where the army has already set up camp.
As soon as Prince Jing entered the tent, he saw Lin Anyuan staring blankly and immediately teased him.
"Thinking about your wife again?"
"My lord, you've brought your wife with you. My wife is still farming in Ganzhou," Lin Anyuan said with concern.
"Don't worry, she'll be rewarded for doing things for me." King Jing chuckled, then suddenly twitched his nose.
"What are you eating? It smells so good!"
