"Try it, it's delicious."
Wang Yi handed over a hemp leaf and looked at the city lord's wife encouragingly.
This practice also exists in the city, but it is rarely used in the City Lord's Mansion.
What they usually eat are mostly some exquisite stir-fries.
The lady hesitated slightly, took the hemp leaf with her slender fingers, and took a light bite.
In an instant, the crisp sweet taste filled her mouth. The city lord's wife raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect this thing to be so crispy and delicious.
I couldn't help but start eating again.
Mo Naihe was watching his wife eating and suddenly froze.
The lady had not had a proper meal for a long time before Mosin left the city. Every time she ate, she would say she had no appetite and would just pick a few of her favorite vegetables and take a few bites, and she would think she had eaten.
But it tastes like it pulls your throat, which is very uncomfortable.
It's rare to see someone eating three pieces of hemp leaves without stopping, like today.
"Madam, your appetite seems to be very good today. How about having half a steamed bun?"
The city lord broke the steamed bun and handed it over, and the city lord's wife also took it.
He also started to try other dishes with his chopsticks, eating with a smile on his face.
Especially looking in the direction of Wang Yi, she was distributing rice balls to several children.
Mo Xin held the rice ball and ate until his face was covered with rice grains. The more she watched, the more pleased she felt. She kept picking up rice with her chopsticks. Not only did she finish half of the steamed bun in her hand, she also ate half of the salted egg yolk rice ball that Mo Xin excitedly ran over to give her.
She even drank a bowl of black noodle salty soup.
Mo Naihe heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and then he remembered that the people in Wang Yi's family around him had not eaten yet, so he hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and eat.
Now, a group of men who had just come out of the fields were eating, and their rough eating habits surprised him even more.
The city lord's wife was stunned. She saw Li Yinbao put two white buns together and started to eat them.
In just a few bites, he swallowed the two white steamed buns with the vegetables inside.
Look at the salty soup again, it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately they ate early, otherwise they would not have been able to get any.
During this process, Mo Naihe didn't realize that he and his wife actually shared another steamed bun.
In the light of the bonfire, everyone told a joke from time to time, and instantly there was a burst of laughter.
They seemed to have not felt so happy for a long time.
In the military camp not far away, Zheng Yeheng was facing the stir-fried vegetables on the table, turning them over and over with his chopsticks, unable to eat them.
He felt a little restless as he listened to the occasional bursts of laughter.
Mo Naihe is so terrible!
You didn't even invite me to have dinner with you.
You let me eat these tasteless things with cold bowls and cold chopsticks, don’t you feel sorry for me?
At this moment, Li Liugen, the sixth son of the Li family, came running over quickly, holding a tray with a large bowl on top of it.
Hong Jiu took the tray, which contained prepared dishes and a large plate of hemp leaves, with two small glutinous rice balls next to it.
Zheng Yeheng suddenly felt a little comforted.
Wang was still thinking about herself.
Who would have thought that Hong Jiu would ask for leave from afar: "Your Majesty, please send me some food over there. I will go to the tent to eat first and come back later."
Zheng Yeheng was immediately furious.
For Hong Jiu?
You won’t give him this?
So there's nothing for him on the whole plate?
Zheng Yeheng rushed forward in two or three steps, holding one end in each hand and snatching the tray away.
"Let's eat together at my place!"
As he said this, he stuffed both rice balls into his mouth. The bulging and sticky rice balls almost choked him, but the prince refused to let go.
Hong Jiu's face was full of grievance.
Your Majesty, you have so many delicious foods, why are you stealing my food?
That night, the city lord and his wife returned to the city, as they were still not used to sleeping outdoors. Mo Xin, on the other hand, remained and continued to live outside the city with Wang Yi, planning to return to the city later once Wang Yi had chosen a place to live.
Moreover, it was time for Mosin to start school. It was also urgent for Wang Yi's sons to learn to read and write.
Wang Yi didn't expect them to pass the imperial examinations, but they had to be able to read books and write their names.
The campfire in the wild gradually died down, and there was silence around the campsite.
Snores of varying sizes came one after another, and everyone was falling into a drowsy state.
At this time, a group of people rushed into the grove between the military camp and the main road under the cover of darkness and hid in the bushes.
If Wang Yi could see the leader, she would definitely remember him. It was Ma Renyi, the man who loved other people's wives. The last time Zheng Yeheng sent people to suppress the bandits, he actually let him escape. He didn't get far, and he was holding his breath to seek revenge.
"General, we've waited so long to gather another 500 men. Do we really have to attack the barracks tonight?"
"Are you stupid? If not now, when will we go? I, Ma Mengde, will definitely destroy the Dingyuan King's military camp today! If we wait any longer, his reinforcements will arrive, and there will be no place for us. There is plenty of food and grass here, and the barracks have just been attacked by bandits, so they are weak."
"The general is mighty! We must kill him while he is still sick and avenge our brothers!"
"That's good to know. We have five hundred of them, and they only have a little over a hundred able-bodied soldiers. I don't believe we can't take him down!"
"But there are a lot of laborers on the farm over there, and I'm afraid something might happen."
"What are you afraid of? Kill the men, kidnap the women, and burn all the children and the elderly."
"yes!"
"At my command, immediately—Shh, wait, what's that sound?"
Just as Ma Renyi was about to lead his men to rush out, he suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses.
I saw several well-equipped soldiers coming towards here from not far away, and they were about to arrive.
"Why are the city lord's soldiers here so late at night?" Ma Renyi thought to himself, oh no, could they have been discovered?
"...Retreat first, leaving two sentries behind. Come back tomorrow!"
"yes!"
The five hundred rebels came quietly and left quietly. If the five hundred refugees they had finally instigated were to be lost again, they would really be unable to rise again. Besides, the so-called rebels were just a fancy name for a group of bandits who could only survive by burning, killing, and looting.
Ma Renyi was just giving himself a compliment.
If the new arrivals were the three hundred elite soldiers sent by the city lord after he discussed with King Dingyuan in the afternoon, he would have sent people to the city to convey the message.
It was stationed near the farm, specifically to protect King Dingyuan.
Just arrived at this time.
These people will be stationed here in a daily rotation mode until Zheng Yeheng's large force arrives.
By the way, it can also protect Mosin.
A lot of axle loads had been shipped to the city long before Zheng Yeheng arrived, and a year ago, Zheng Yeheng had hidden two thousand private soldiers and secretly trained them in Qingdong City, far away in Kyoto.
These were all his hidden moves to lay the groundwork for Shengyun City.
Early the next morning, Wang Yi walked out of the tent, stretching lazily.
I was a little tired from cooking yesterday, but luckily I have a good physique and was able to recover after a good sleep.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that as far as she could see, heavily guarded soldiers had formed a circle around their farm and barracks.
She rubbed her eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Once the camp was attacked by bandits, we were worried and frightened all day long.
"Prince Dingyuan is truly generous!"
