Chapter 129 Why did you have to hit my butt of all places?
Xie Yunchuan chuckled and pinched her cheek: "Hurry up and go inside after you've finished thinking, don't catch a cold."
"Okay," Sheng Sheng obediently replied.
Xie Yun-yang was already on horseback waiting for him. Sheng Sheng saw Xie Yun-chuan talking to Thirteen and then mounted his horse as well.
Sheng Sheng sat up straight again. Seeing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Xie Yunjia didn't disturb her and just petted the cat.
In children's education, independent thinking is also very important.
Let the child think about it for themselves.
This little incident didn't seem to affect everyone's outing. Yanshan is about 30 miles north of Beijing. Because Shengsheng and Xie Yunjia lived there, they slowed down and it took them almost an hour to get there.
Normally, when Xie Yunxiang and Xie Yunchuan came, they would arrive on horseback in a quarter of an hour.
Whether it was because she was too engrossed in thinking about something or because the warm carriage was too comfortable, when the carriage stopped, Xie Yunjia gently patted her awake, and Sheng Sheng realized that she didn't know when she had fallen asleep.
Sheng Sheng rubbed her eyes, got up from Xie Yunjia's lap, and mumbled sleepily, "Sister, is Sheng Sheng asleep?"
Xie Yunjia chuckled and pinched her cheek, teasingly saying, "Yeah, you drooled all over me."
Still half-asleep, Sheng Sheng quickly forced her squinting eyes open to look at Xie Yunjia's dress: "Ah? I'm sorry, sister, I'll make you another one later!"
Xie Yunjia chuckled and patted her head: "Alright, I was just teasing you. Get out of the car now."
Sheng Sheng blinked, paused for a moment, and her eyes cleared a bit: "Oh, we're here?"
"If you don't come soon, my butt will be sore from sitting on it."
The carriage curtain was lifted from the outside. Xie Yunjia got out first, and Sheng Sheng quickly patted her cheeks to clear her head before getting out of the car.
It was nearing noon, the best time of day, and the already sunny weather made it even more exceptionally bright.
Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan rode horses, and after leaving the city and entering the suburbs, they couldn't resist breaking away from the group and galloping over ahead, much faster than those who came by carriage.
They had barely arrived when the two of them leisurely ran around the area and came back.
Yunshan Farm is the largest farm in Beijing, mainly engaged in animal husbandry. The land is fertile farmland, and the cattle and sheep on the farm are raised very well because they can graze freely near the Yanshan Mountains, resulting in good revenue.
The Rong family is full of talented generals. The merits and rewards of Rong Kuangzhi alone can support the whole family, not to mention that there is also a concubine and a prince. They are not short of money.
In addition, the Rong family moved to Liaocheng, so unlike other aristocratic families, the Rong family did not have many scattered properties; they only had this one estate.
However, the estate is large, in a good location, and well-managed, so it's sufficient.
Sheng Sheng had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even had a chance to properly look at the Yunshan Farm that everyone had been talking about and that she had been looking forward to for so long, when she heard Xie Yunqi's pig-like screams.
"Ouch—this sheep butted me!!!"
Sheng Sheng looked over in confusion and saw a little lamb bleating, its head drooping, its four legs pounding as it chased after Xie Yunqi.
Further ahead, Xie Yunqi was being followed by a large sheep running behind him, which would nudge his butt every now and then, looking quite angry.
There's only one farm nearby, Yunshan Farm, so the sheep are grazed very freely, in a semi-free-range manner. Once the sheep are released onto the mountain, they are allowed to roam freely.
There are boundaries within two li of Zhuangzi; as long as you don't cross those boundaries, you don't need to worry about them.
Just now, Xie Yunqi saw a lamb that had just come over with its mother as soon as he got off the car.
The little lamb was probably only two months old, tiny and very cute.
Xie Yunqi had never seen a live lamb before, and he immediately became interested. Without thinking much, he reached out to pick up the lamb and pet it.
But his method was too rough and hurt the lamb. The lamb struggled fiercely and he accidentally threw it away, which directly angered the lamb's mother.
And so, the scene that Sheng Sheng witnessed came to be.
Sheng Sheng was so amused that she stood on the edge of the car giggling. Xie Yunchuan picked her up and said, "You're laughing so hard you can't see your eyes. Be careful not to fall."
She hugged his neck tightly, then stood firmly on the ground: "Thank you, brother."
It wasn't too cold now, so Zijuan didn't put the cloak back on her. Xie Yunjia didn't wear one either, so Zijuan and Xiaotao put both of their cloaks into the carriage's storage box.
Xie Yun-yang often came with Xie Yun-chuan, and knew the place as well as Xie Yun-chuan. He had already gone in alone to instruct people to prepare lunch.
The owner of Yunshan Farm is an elderly man surnamed He. He has a kind face, dark skin, and many calluses on his hands from farm work.
Old Man He was originally a villager from the neighborhood. His wife passed away early, and he had no children. He lived a difficult life on his own, so the Rong family took him in to manage their farm.
Despite his advanced age, Old Man He has a lifetime of experience in farming. He has raised pigs, cattle, and sheep, and even worked as a manager in a restaurant in his younger days. With the help of people sent by Xie Yunchuan, Yunshan Farm is well managed.
Old Man He led his men to park the group's carriages, greeted them with a smile, bowed to them, and immediately noticed the sound on the ground.
He was under the protection of the Rong family and was loyal to them, so it was only natural that he would be warm towards his young master, Sheng Sheng.
"This must be the Second Princess. Ever since I heard the news of her return, I've been hoping that His Highness would bring her to Yunshan Farm sometime. Now I've finally met her."
Xie Yunchuan introduced him to Sheng Sheng in a gentle voice. The old man's unpretentious warmth and kindness made Sheng Sheng feel very relaxed, and she smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa He!"
"Yes, yes!" Old Man He nodded repeatedly. "I wasn't sure when the princes would arrive, so I didn't prepare the meal in advance. His Highness the Crown Prince has already given the order, and it will be ready soon. The princes can first go to the Flowing Water Pavilion to have some goat milk pastries, or take a stroll around."
Xie Yunchuan looked down at her and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Sheng Sheng shook her head: "I'm not very hungry. I ate a lot this morning!"
Sheng Sheng rubbed her stomach and even patted it to show Xie Yunchuan that her stomach hadn't deflated yet.
Xie Yunchuan chuckled and nodded slightly to her. He then looked around and saw that Xie Yunwen and Xie Yunjia both said they weren't hungry.
Xie Yunqi...
Well.
Xie Yunqi was chased by sheep for a while, but finally escaped with the help of several farmhands.
Xie Yunqi tugged at the fabric covering his buttocks, turning his head with lingering fear to look at the spot where the sheep had poked him. He muttered to himself, "Honestly, why did it have to poke me on my butt? It hurts like hell! What if it tears my clothes? This is the same style as my sister's!"
