Chapter 85 Sweet
Tang Wei glanced at Lin Hao and Lin Chan, then suddenly walked out quickly.
"Weier, Weier——" Lady Wuning Hou shouted anxiously and hurriedly chased after her.
A group of maids and old women hurriedly followed behind.
Captain Liu, who was listening to the Wuning Marquis' wife's knock, breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin: "Mrs. Lin, are you going home today?"
"It's time to go back home." Lin resisted the urge to ask Captain Liu about the progress.
"Then I wish you a safe journey." Captain Liu paused and lowered his voice. "The Marquis's wife is also leaving today. She's not in a good mood..."
Lin understood what Captain Liu meant. He was reminding her to avoid the wife of Marquis Wuning as much as possible to avoid bad luck.
Although she was not afraid of the wife of Marquis Wuning, she did not want to meddle in other people's business, so she smiled and thanked her.
The general's carriage was parked at the foot of the mountain. When Lin and his group got on the carriage, the people from Wuning Marquis' Mansion had already set off.
Lin saw Qi Shuo riding by on horseback and said to her two daughters in surprise, "I never thought that Prince Jing could ride a horse."
Lin Hao: What kind of misunderstanding does my mother have about Prince Jing?
The young man riding past on horseback swayed and couldn't help but look back.
Lin Chan tugged at her mother's sleeve and said angrily, "Mother, Prince Jing seems to have heard it."
Lin pursed her lips in disapproval: "I heard it, so what? How can a junior like him pick a fight with me?"
As the saying goes, a man is strong when he has no desires. She didn't think of having a little prince as her son-in-law, so why was she afraid that he would hear it?
Lin Chan choked and was helpless with her mother.
The carriage moved forward slowly and they should have arrived home by noon, but soon after the journey, Mrs. Lin felt abdominal pain.
She held her stomach for a while, but she couldn't bear it anymore as the carriage shook slightly.
"Stop, stop!" With Lin's shout, the carriage stopped.
Lin Hao and Lin Chan were sitting in the carriage following behind, and they also stopped when the carriage in front stopped.
"Go and ask what's going on up ahead." Lin Chan instructed her maid Lianxiang.
Soon Lianxiang came running back: "Madam, your stomach hurts."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao and Lin Chan hurriedly got off the carriage and walked to the front.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Lin's face looked a little grim, and she whispered, "Maybe I had a mixed breakfast, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I'll get off the car and take it easy."
Lin Chan looked around and pointed: "Mom, there's a farmhouse over there. How about we go over there and rest?"
Lin was not the type to embarrass herself for the sake of face, so she nodded immediately: "Okay."
Leaving most of the maids and old women in the carriage, Lin walked over with the help of her two daughters.
After hearing a woman explain her purpose, the farm owner smiled and invited them in.
Since yesterday, people have been coming to rest their heads one after another. Judging from their attire, they all come from wealthy families, so of course they will receive benefits, and the farm owner is naturally happy to welcome them.
There was a table in the yard, and several young people were sitting around it drinking tea.
Lin took a look and found that they were all people she had just met, including Wen Rugui's nephew Wen Feng.
Lin had no aversion to Wen Feng, but she still felt a little uncomfortable meeting him because of his status.
Wen Feng also saw the Lin family members. He immediately put down his teacup, stood up, and greeted them respectfully: "Aunt."
Mrs. Lin frowned: "I've said it before, we are two families now, just call me Mrs. Lin."
Wen Feng smiled awkwardly: "Are you and your two sisters returning home today?"
"Yeah." Lin's stomach churned, and her tone seemed particularly cold. "Didn't you leave yesterday?"
"It rained yesterday, so I came here to take shelter. When the rain stopped, I thought I'd rush over, but the city gates were closed, so I just stayed here for a day."
"Oh." Lin couldn't help herself and signaled the wife of the farmer to take her in quickly.
Seeing the Lin mother and daughter hurried away, Han Baocheng whispered, "Brother Wen, your aunt is obviously a formidable person."
Looking at his pale face, one dares not say a word.
"No, Aunt Ten is a kind-hearted person. She might have remembered something unhappy." Wen Feng explained for Lin.
Wen Feng also had a good impression of Lin.
Before he came to Beijing, he was a little worried that if he lived with his uncle, his aunt might look down on him and his son. But it turned out that he was overthinking it. His aunt was thoughtful and enthusiastic, and she was not just doing it to save face.
It's a pity that my uncle didn't appreciate his blessings...
"My two cousins are also excellent girls." Thinking of this, Wen Feng praised casually.
One of them laughed and said, "It's necessary to understand one's temperament. The two Miss Lins are very beautiful. Speaking of which, I haven't married yet..."
Wen Feng's expression immediately turned serious: "Brother Zhang, don't joke around."
"You're kidding! I'm not married yet. Men should get married when they're old enough, and women should get married when they're old enough. Instead of waiting for your parents to match you with a girl you've never met, it's better to marry someone you like."
"Hey, that makes sense." Han Baocheng said, stroking his chin.
"Brother Han, why are you joining in the fun?" Wen Feng said helplessly.
Han Baocheng spread his hands: "I really think it makes sense. Doesn't Brother Wen want to marry someone he likes?"
Wen Feng couldn't argue, so he looked at Yang Zhe for help.
Yang Zhe smiled: "I think it makes sense too."
"You guys..." Wen Feng shook his head and stopped talking.
Lin borrowed this to solve the problem, but his stomach was still uncomfortable.
"Auntie, can I borrow the stove?" Lin Chan asked.
"Girl, feel free to use it."
"Second sister, please stay with mother for a while. I'll go get her something to eat."
Lin Chan ordered the maid to get apples from the cart and took a maid into the kitchen.
In this kind of farmhouse, the kitchen is just a simple shed with no door. You can see the people busy in the kitchen from the yard.
Soon, Lianxiang came in with a tray with a few big, juicy apples on it.
In the blink of an eye, the little maid went into the kitchen, leaving several grown men watching eagerly.
"They go out to burn incense and bring apples with them?" someone asked in surprise.
Han Baocheng was not surprised. "When women go out, they carry things that you can't imagine. I bet besides apples, they must have all kinds of fresh fruits in their cars."
"I don't care if there are any or not, I just went out for three days and suddenly wanted to eat apples."
Han Baocheng sighed: "Who isn't?"
Autumn and winter are the driest seasons, and just thinking about taking a bite of a sweet and juicy big apple makes me feel comfortable.
Steam rose from the kitchen, and soon Lianxiang came out with a plate with evenly sliced apples on it.
She placed the plate in front of Wen Feng and said with a smile, "Master Wen, our girl would like to invite you and your friends to eat some apples. The plate has been boiled in boiling water."
After the little maid finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the kitchen.
After a while, Lin Chan came out, followed by Lianxiang and the maid carrying a tray.
Seeing several people looking at her, she nodded to Wen Feng and went into the house.
In Lin Chan's opinion, Wen Feng is still her cousin after all. The key is that he is a good person. It would be embarrassing to turn a blind eye to him.
"Crunch." Han Baocheng picked up a piece of apple, took a bite, and said with a smile, "It's so sweet."
