Chapter 323 The Taste of Early Summer 4
Su Ruojin slept until the evening. When she woke up, she felt much better. She stretched and thought about the fire at night. "Have all the hunters returned?"
Mao Ya nodded, "They just came back not long ago and just finished washing up."
"Then I have to go out and see what they have hunted."
She shook off her dejection, got up energetically, washed, and quickly left the room.
In the yard, everyone was standing next to the prey. Su Ruojin squeezed in happily, "I know the rabbit, this is..." There was a strange creature lying on the ground. Forgive her shallowness, she really didn't know what it was.
Yang Si Niang replied, "Ajin, this is the roe deer you wanted."
So this is what roe deer are like!
You have to eat them, but Su Ruojin couldn't bear to see them being killed. "Then I'll go to the vegetable field and find some vegetables to eat tonight."
Let them deal with these non-animals.
Zhao Lan knew what the young lady was thinking as soon as he raised his eyebrows. He smiled slightly and followed with his hands behind his back.
The two walked out of the yard side by side and went down to the vegetable field.
"Hey..." Yang Si Niang tried to follow them, but was pulled back by Ning Qillang. What was the point of her following the young couple?
Yang Si Niang realized it, but she turned around and glared at Ning Qi. She didn't dare to watch the killing of rabbits and roe deer. She broke free from his hand and went to find her sister, nephew and niece, "Sister, they will deal with these small animals later, so don't let the children watch."
Yes, when Madam Yang saw Ning Qilang taking her sister and the curious children away, she glanced at the noble son of the Ningguo Mansion. If her sister was the child of the Zhengguo Mansion, there would be some hope for a marriage with the Ningguo Mansion. But since Yang Jingzi committed such a serious crime, it was a blessing that the new emperor was not implicated after ascending the throne. But if she wanted to marry the son of the general, it would be impossible.
After entering the room, Aunt Yang couldn't help but ask, "Arong, you and Mr. Ning Qi..."
Yang Si Niang interrupted her immediately: "Sister, will you come back to Yulin with me?"
Aunt Yang thought about going back to her mother, but Su Ruojin told her that her mother was already a "dead person" in the eyes of the world. Her eldest brother and younger brother also left the Yang family's old house and followed their mother in hiding. She could go back to her mother, but... for some reason, she always felt that she should stay near the capital. If she was asked to explain why, she didn't know.
"I... just started working with Ah Jin, and I want to..." Madam Yang took a breath, "try to see if I can raise the three children."
"Sister..." Yang Si Niang was shocked. In this world, raising three children is a problem for men, not to mention women. "This is not a joke."
Madam Yang smiled slightly and said, "I know, but I want to try." For some reason, following Madam Su, she always felt that what men could do, women could do too.
Yang Si Niang sighed, "Yes, Ah Jin rescued you from the Tang family, which was in dire straits, on the pretext of hiring you as the headmistress. You should stay here."
"Arong, won't you stay here with me?"
It's really strange. When she came here to play, A'mei didn't have this idea. Why did she want to go back to Yulin after going out hunting?
Yang Si Niang shook her head. "My original plan was to rescue you from the Tang family and then return to Yulin. I will leave after I return to Weizhou County and your shop is ready."
Speaking of parting, the two sisters' hearts unconsciously sank.
Madam Yang's eldest daughter Yingyuan saw her mother and aunt looking sad and asked in confusion, "Aunt, where is Yulin?"
That is where Madam Yang lives in seclusion, so I won’t say much about it.
The two sisters quickly found something to talk the child out of, changed the subject, and talked about the hunting incident just now.
Outside, Santai and Ning Qigongzi's guards took the prey to the back of the kitchen to process it. April was the breeding season for animals, and they automatically gave up on animals with bulging bellies. They only hunted three rabbits and a male roe deer.
Ning Qi and others sat under the corridor to enjoy the breeze, leisurely waiting for the arrival of night.
Su Ruojin got a lot of vegetables from the vegetable garden and bought a lot of mushrooms from the villagers to roast and eat in the evening.
Everyone ate a few bites of food that night and left some food for the campfire.
Slowly the night came, the mountain breeze blew, fanning the bonfire. The wilderness at the foot of the mountain suddenly became bright, attracting many villagers to come and watch.
Su Ruojin did not chase them away, and even let them participate. The villagers jumped for joy, and some even ran back to call their relatives to come over. Su Ruojin saw this and quickly shouted, "If anyone has chickens or ducks, please bring them over and kill and roast them."
The excited villagers suddenly dared not to run back and stopped in their tracks. They were in a state of not knowing whether to stay or leave.
Su Ruojin chuckled, "I buy it for everyone, but everyone gets a share when we eat it."
The villagers felt a little embarrassed to buy their food and let them eat it. Su Ruojin said generously, "Just consider it as a thank you for the benefits of working in my vegetable fields."
The villagers knew that this was the real Xiao Dongjia, and they all thanked her, praising her like crazy, "Xiao Dongjia is really generous, and she is destined to make a fortune. My family happens to have a rooster that only eats grain and doesn't lay eggs, so I will..."
"Bring it here, I'll charge you the market price."
After getting the guarantee, the villagers ran straight home to catch chickens and ducks for a grand party.
In the ancient countryside where material resources and entertainment were scarce, Su Ruojin's bonfire party tonight was a grand party.
After all, Ning Qillang is a young general who has lived with General Ning in the military camp for a long time. He is very good at grilling meat and fish. Not only that, the guards he brought with him are also very good at it. Santai is not bad either. The guards who are usually not seen suddenly rushed in front of everyone and helped with the grilling.
Zhao Lan, Ning Qi and others sat by the campfire, looking up at the stars and enjoying the fireworks nearby.
Su Ruojin was afraid that they would be bored, so she asked people to take out all the fun things in the farm house, such as go, skipping rope, and she also brought out a few jars of wine for them to play finger-guessing games. The children in the village were so happy that they ran and jumped around the bonfire, they were so excited.
Fan Yanjia and Shangguan Yu stood behind Ning Qi and Zhao Lan respectively, watching them play chess. In the light of the campfire, the four young men each had their own characteristics, all of them were handsome and elegant, which made the aunties and wives in the village stare at them in amazement. How could there be such good-looking men?
Su Ruojin and Madam Yang sat on a carpet, eating snacks and watching Yang Si Niang dance with swords.
The villagers who were originally playing finger-guessing games were attracted to watch the beautiful young lady dancing with swords. It was the first time in their lives. Seeing the young lady's sword flowers were even more beautiful, they couldn't help but shout in unison, "Good, beautiful!"
The attention of the chess players was attracted by the villagers' cheers, and several young masters looked at Yang Si Niang who was dancing with the sword.
Su Ruojin was both surprised and happy. She was surprised, "When did Arong start learning sword?" She was happy that she could dance so well.
Sword dancing? If Yang Si Niang knew that people were watching her like this, she would be furious. This was her swordplay for self-defense and life-saving.
Ning Qi: ...He touched his nose guiltily. In order not to let the young lady suffer, he really didn’t teach her with all his heart.
