Aside from noble families and royalty, no one outside the wealthy district is allowed entry without a guarantee. This is intended to deter those with ill intentions.
Although it was done very cleverly, many people felt it shouldn't have been done, so Wang Fei was criticized quite a bit.
"These people are really racking their brains to make money. But if they have that kind of brains, why don't they do something else instead of cheating people?"
“Ying’er, although I wasn’t born into a poor family, I’ve heard my teacher say some things. The poorer people are, the more likely they are to have poor descendants if they don’t change their mindset. But the rich make money very quickly because they have money to do more things and get more rewards.”
"Is this some kind of twisted logic?" I braced myself and hugged him, but Xie Yuancheng, that petty guy, hugged me even tighter. "Gently, I didn't wash properly last night. When are the teachers coming? I need to go wash up so I can rest."
"You've washed up and are waiting for me, right?"
"Go away~ All you do is talk about me, humph!" I got off his lap, and Xie Yuancheng held out the teacup to me, but I just wouldn't pour the tea.
"It's so cold. Even if I want a cup of tea, I should at least see if Madam is happy."
"I'm just not happy, I'm not giving you any!"
"Ying'er, brew me another pot of tea. I haven't seen any of the ones before. Hurry up."
"I don't want to cook right now, but I'll cook for you if you make me happy."
I sat down on the side, propped my hands on the table and watched him. Xie Yuancheng came over and said a lot of nice things, but I pretended not to hear them. He started acting like Yu'er, the boneless person, and wouldn't get up from me.
"Okay, get up, I'll cook for you." I can't bear his weight, and he even pulls my hair. What kind of person is he?
"I want a delicate tea, with a light brew that I can't touch."
"Okay, I'll brew you a pot of fragrant tea." I helped him up and started washing the teaware and slowly grinding the tea leaves.
This tea was given to me by Xie Yuancheng; he said it was a very precious and rare tea, so I brought some with me on this trip. The taste was indeed quite different when I brewed it just now.
I was busy, and he just stood there grinning at me, praising me and clapping his hands. All I did was make him tea, why was he so happy?
"You don't understand. The serious look on Ying'er's face when she does things is really mesmerizing. Back in Heqing Palace, you have no idea how long I was secretly watching her from outside before I finally went in without a care in the world."
"Hmph~ You dare to peek at me." If I had known he was peeking at me back then, I would have tripped him up more. Now I'm being suppressed by him, and I have to wait in line to go out.
I poured him three cups as soon as it was cooked, and he wanted me to feed him myself. There were no outsiders here, so I sat on his lap to feed him.
"Ying'er~ From now on, whenever I have free time, I'll catch you and make me tea~"
"I've only had one cup. I learned this from a book. I'll definitely make it better for you next time."
"You don't need to be a tea-making expert. As long as I like the tea, that's enough. Don't bother me."
"I've finally mastered a skill that can impress you, so I need to hone it properly and make sure you can't stand the tea that other women serve you."
I wrapped my arms around him, and it was the best place to rest against him. I could smell his faint fragrance as soon as I looked down, which made me feel incredibly safe.
"Ying'er~ wake up quickly, the teachers are here." I was just about to fall asleep when Xie Yuancheng told me to get up.
However, those who came were all very important to him, and I respected them greatly, so I had to treat them well. I got up to straighten my clothes, and just as I turned around, I saw that he had finished the whole pot of tea.
In Mudan Village, a small figure walked through the snow carrying a tattered bundle. Tuanbao was freezing; she didn't even have a pair of worn-out shoes and had lost all feeling in her feet.
Sister-in-law Li and Liu Mazi came out cracking sunflower seeds, and spat out two mouthfuls when they saw Tuanbao.
"You shameless beggar, how dare you come to our village?"
"Exactly! Her poop is so smelly, you can hear it even from ten houses away when she goes to the outhouse. It's more stinky than a pig's poop!"
"Haha, my house is at the village entrance. If she dares to let me smell her, I'll grab her by the pigtail." When Liu Mazi saw Tuanbao approaching, he grabbed her pigtail, slapped her twice, and then kicked her to the ground.
Worried that Tuanbao would tell on her, she kicked the cat at her feet: "You stinky thing, get out of here!"
When Tuanbao saw that Miaomiao had been kicked, she touched her reddened face and said, "Miaomiao is so cute, how could you kick it? They can understand what you're saying too."
Liu Mazi spat, took a step and tried to hit someone again, but slipped and fell flat on his face!
"Haha, Liu Mazi, he's finally getting his comeuppance." Fang's third daughter-in-law, You Jie'er, sat on the wall watching the commotion.
"Auntie, I can't find what Uncle told me about. It's so cold outside, and I'm hungry. Can I come inside?"
Tuanbao is freezing! She's so cold, she could eat a whole cow in one go.
"Pah! Shameless bastard, what are you? You're a wild bastard my older brother carried out of Rose Mountain, and you just asked me for food!"
As soon as Sister You called out, she choked on her saliva. She lost her balance and fell off the low wall, landing on her bottom and howling twice.
Fang Hao came out when he heard the noise and quickly waved, "Little one, hurry up and come inside."
Tuanbao skipped past Sister-in-law Li and ran happily into the yard, leaving only his little footprints in the snow.
"You stinky thing, you stinky beggar, you stinky ass, you shameless bastard!" Liu Mazi shouted again. Miaomiao jumped off her lap, startling her.
Sister-in-law Li rubbed her ears: "You're a grown man, how can you swear and then fall down? Get up now, we need to go to the field to cut cabbage to make soup!"
Liu Mazi rubbed his back and swayed as he walked away. You Jie'er also went inside; her husband had gone on a long trip.
Tuanbao is five years old. She is delicate-looking, with beautiful round glasses that are clear and bright. Her fair and tender skin is especially pretty, and she has two round buns on her head. She is both beautiful and cute.
She put down her tattered bundle and sat down at the table, looking up at Qiuyue as she was fed.
Three days ago, Hao went to Rose Mountain to chop firewood and found her sitting in the snow, so he kindly picked her up and brought her back. He fed her and gave her water; she ate two large steamed buns and two bowls of rice for each meal, and he didn't even need to give her any vegetables.
"Eat!" Qiu Yue, Fang Hao's wife, cursed under her breath, threw down her bowl, and was about to leave.
Tuanbao looked at the leftovers on the table. If they couldn't afford to feed her, why bring her back? It's not like she didn't have food on Rose Mountain.
Tuanbao was angry. She took the broken bowl and went out to find Fang Hao. She would repay others for their kindness, but if they were not kind to her, they would not support her. They would just stay and be scolded, beaten, and called a stinking thing!
"Uncle Fang, please take me back to Rose Mountain. I can support myself."
"Nonsense, how old are you? How could you possibly be raised like this!" Fang Hao knew what was going on just by looking at the broken bowl she was holding in her small hands.
“Oh, so this little beggar is complaining now. Dahao, let’s take her home. The three of us in our family don’t even eat as much as she does.”
