Chapter 1499: Saving Brother
Many young men went out of the city to hunt. There were hunting grounds near the capital. In order to avoid hurting those who were surrounded, many of the hunting grounds were free to enter. They were not exclusive to the royal family. When the Zhou family arrived, the good tents had already been occupied.
Yudie and several other girls did not go hunting. They took their maids to prepare snacks and tea, and the servants were responsible for making a fire. The tent was near a stream and there were people guarding it, so they did not have to worry about wild animals.
Yudie is a person who can't sit still. It's rare for her to go out and play. "Shall we go for a walk around the area?"
Yuwen sat on the mat and waved her hand, "I won't go."
Yuyi was worried about Yudie and Yujiao, "Sister Yuwen, I'll leave the account to you."
Yuwen, "Okay."
She was just about ready to take a nap, and her soft cushion was so comfortable.
Yudie and Yujiao walked quickly, with no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. Instead, they wanted to go play by the stream. Yuyi, on the other hand, was slowly appreciating the scenery. From a distance, she saw someone walking towards them.
Soon people came in. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. There were quite a lot of people including the Wen sisters and others. In comparison, Yuyi was at a disadvantage.
Wen Ling saw that Zhou Yuyi looked very unhappy. The Yu family rejected the Wen family's marriage proposal, and now Zhou Yuyi is engaged. The two families were originally at odds with each other. She thought the Zhou family did it on purpose.
Wen Ling, "I was wondering who was playing in the water like a wild girl, it turns out to be the girls from the Zhou family."
The fourth young lady of the Qi family curled her lips and said, "It's normal for the Zhou family's girls to play in the water. Who made the Zhou family live in the village?"
Yudie's face turned red with anger. This was an insult to the Zhou family, calling them unpresentable and calling them sisters wild girls.
Yuyi pulled her third sister. There were so many people on the other side. She was sure that they had seen them first and were deliberately ridiculing them.
Yuyi smiled and said, "You guys are saying that our Zhou family didn't educate our children well. I guess I understood that correctly."
The fourth daughter of the Qi family spoke quickly, "You are self-aware."
Wen Ling's heart skipped a beat. Yu Yi had already spoken, "My great-grandmother was born into the Rong family. Even if she is the emperor, she should be called aunt. Are you questioning the Rong family's upbringing?"
The fourth young lady of the Qi family was unhappy and said hurriedly, "That's not what I meant?"
Yuyi's eyes were cold, but she still smiled, "That's to question the Queen. The Queen has praised us sisters for being well-educated, beautiful and intelligent."
The fourth young lady of the Qi family, "!!"
Wen Ling took a deep breath. She was completely trapped by Zhou Yuyi. It was not right to answer, nor was it right not to answer. The traps were already set. "Ms. Qi Si is young, and Miss Zhou Si has brought her up well. She will definitely not care about it, right?"
Yudie tugged at Yudie's sleeve, and Yujiao thought, her eyes rolling, "They say ugly people are more likely to do evil, and today I have seen it."
She paused for a moment and smiled sweetly, "Oh, I'm the youngest here, so the sisters won't mind, right?"
Wen Ling, "......"
The other ladies, "......"
The girls faced each other here, and the hunting became more intense. Mingrui frowned when he saw the Wen family members. There were many people on the opposite side, and they deliberately snatched the prey they liked.
Mingrui didn't know yet that his sisters had won the fight. They had no gains and only caught a few rabbits.
In Zhangzhou, Yushuang and her mother-in-law were fiddling with herbal seeds. Mrs. Hu said, "I can do it myself. Don't get too tired since you're pregnant."
Yu Shuang was not tired. "The child is very obedient. Mom, I have nothing to do. Let me help you."
Hu, "If you are tired, don't be stubborn."
"good."
Selecting seeds is a delicate job. As she was selecting, Mrs. Hu said, "Oh, there are too many bad seeds."
"My husband got blisters in his mouth because of this batch of seeds. It was his first time buying them and he had no experience."
They cannot rely on their father for everything. Facts have proved that they are still too young. Only one layer of seeds is good, and there are too many bad seeds mixed in. How can these seeds be distributed to the people?
Mrs. Hu felt sorry for her son, but when she arrived in Zhangzhou, she realized how difficult her son's life was. Her son was so young, but he already had wrinkles on his brows from frowning every day.
Mrs. Hu, "Liu Feng's annual salary has been spent. Fortunately, you don't rely on salary to make a living."
Yu Shuang sighed. The money used to buy the medicinal seeds came from the county government, which didn't have much money to begin with. Her husband took the responsibility and used one year's salary to buy the medicinal seeds. But one year's salary was not enough, so her husband added some money.
Hu muttered, "I hope everyone will be grateful, so that I don't end up working for nothing."
Yu Shuang was worried about her husband. Her husband took people to the village to reclaim wasteland. The court supported the reclamation of wasteland for growing grain, and also distributed some grain seeds to each state. Her husband had been getting up early and going to bed late these days.
Mrs. Hu rubbed her sore hands. She seldom did work by herself and was a little uncomfortable with it.
Yu Shuang saw this and said, "Mom, don't choose, let the maids choose."
Mrs. Hu shook her head. She wanted to do more to help her son.
In the capital, Zhulan received a post from the Qi family. She thought she was in charge of the orphanage and hadn't received any posts for a long time.
Li asked, "Mom, are you going?"
Zhulan, "Go, I'll take you with me this time."
She couldn't let Shu Ren bear the pressure alone, but she could do the same. The Qi family had other intentions, and she wanted to see what they were up to.
Li was very sensitive and knew the note was not a good one. "Mother, your daughter-in-law will not embarrass you."
Zhulan, "Don't be nervous, just watch me do what I do when the time comes."
"Um."
Steward Ding ran in, "Madam, Master Minghui fell off his horse."
Zhulan stood up suddenly, "How did you fall off the horse?"
Steward Ding, sweat on his forehead, trotted out, and said with a sigh of relief: "The servant reported that someone's arrow almost hit Master Mingrui's horse, Master Minghui blocked it for Master Mingrui, and the arrow hit Master Minghui's horse, so he fell off the horse."
Zhulan had a cold face, so the arrow was aimed at Mingrui. Minghui blocked the arrow to save Mingrui.
Li was extremely anxious, "How is Minghui?"
Steward Ding replied, "Master Minghui broke his leg and couldn't move, so he asked a doctor to come over. Madam, do you want to ask for the imperial physician?"
Zhu Lan's face darkened. "Please ask the doctor, please prepare the carriage. I want to go and see it myself."
I fell and broke my leg. In ancient times, breaking a bone was a big deal and a bad injury would affect your whole life.
Li was already panicking. Life in the first house was going smoothly, but suddenly Minghui got into trouble. Li couldn't stand it, "Mom, I'm going too."
When Zhao heard the news, she came over in a hurry and said to her crying sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to see Minghui too."
God knows she almost fainted when she heard the news. Mingrui is the eldest son of the second wife. If Minghui hadn't rescued Mingrui, she couldn't even think about it. At the same time, she was worried about Minghui's condition. She felt uneasy.
In the hunting ground, Ming Hui grimaced in pain. He was the most delicate one among the brothers. In fact, he wanted to cry, but in order not to burden his third brother, he held back, "Third brother, I'm fine."
It hurts, it hurts, it must be a broken bone. He thinks the fracture is not serious, at least the leg is not twisted.
