Chapter 46: Like Playing with a Dog
When he was about to give up the mission, Shen Xun appeared in time and saved his ears.
"Yunxi, Ayue, come and eat."
Zhong Danyue immediately said, "Brother Ming, you must be tired from walking. Rest here for a while. I'll bring you some food."
Qi Yunxi rushed forward and said, "I'm going too."
Jiang Xinming declined, "No, I'll go by myself."
Zhong Danyue said gently, "Brother Ming, I just saw you walking a little slowly. Are your feet hurting? You should rest. As your future wife, I have to learn to take care of you."
Jiang Xinming was deeply moved.
Qi Yunxi said dejectedly: "I'm not as attentive as Sister Yue, but I also want to learn to take care of you, Brother Xinming."
It is said that men don't shed tears easily. If Jiang Xinming hadn't been concerned about his majestic image in the hearts of the two girls, he would have burst into tears.
How could he deserve to be loved so deeply by two such good girls!
Jiang Xinming even vaguely regretted it. Why did he tell Qi Yunxi about it?
How about marrying Qi Yunxi? We're all family now, so the emperor won't kill Qi Yunxi, right?
While Jiang Xinming was daydreaming, Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue exchanged glances.
Haha, playing with him is as easy as playing with a dog.
Besides Jiang Xinming, there was another person who was about to cry.
Qi Yunzhou poked and poked with his chopsticks, almost breaking the rice in the bowl.
"Yue'er never said anything like that to me, never cared about me, never said she wanted to be my wife..."
Qi Yunzhou muttered to himself and secretly decided in his heart that when Yue'er and his sister got tired of playing, he would make sure that bastard Jiang Xinming would be punished!
Shen Yunzheng gloated, "Oh my, big brother, Sister Yue doesn't want you anymore~"
Shen Xun slapped him on the back of the head and pushed the spoon into his mouth, "Eat."
Shen Yunzheng was scared for a second, "Okay, mother."
After Zhong Danyue came over, Qi Yunzhou kept nagging her, asking her to be careful of Jiang Xinming.
Zhong Danyue didn't say anything. She put the meat and vegetables in her bowl into Qi Yunzhou's bowl and said, "Eat more."
Qi Yunzhou shut up for a second and went to show off the bowl to Shen Yunzheng.
"Sister Yue?"
Zhong Danyue said disdainfully: "Such delicious food, wouldn't it be a waste to let him eat it? Just give him some plain rice."
Qi Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Sister Yue, I suddenly have a good idea."
After the two of them whispered for a while, Qi Yunxi also brought some rice soaked in vegetable soup and went to find Jiang Xinming with Zhong Danyue.
Chen Xun sighed with emotion: "This young man is teachable, and the disciple is better than the master!"
"But I have more tricks here. I'll teach them another day."
Xie Lan said weakly, "Axun, if I ever make you angry, you must punish me openly."
Please don't try to harm me secretly, I can't bear it!
Shen Xun leaned over and bit the shrimp he had peeled, "Will you make me angry?"
Xie Lan immediately said, "Of course not. How could I possibly make you angry if I listen to you so much?"
Shen Xun hummed, "Isn't that enough?"
Xie Lan smiled dotingly, his heart and eyes filled with her.
People who were eating just felt something falling from the sky into their bowls, and they felt full without having to eat anything.
Prince Hu said disdainfully, "Be careful in public, there are children here."
Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue brought the food over. Jiang Xinming took a look and asked, "Is this lunch?"
"Well," Zhong Danyue said guiltily, "Brother Ming, we have to pay for meals in the team, and I don't have much silver, so..."
Qi Yunxi pursed her lips and almost cried, "My brothers have money to eat well, but when they saw me serving food to you, Brother Ming, they said they no longer recognized me as their sister."
Jiang Xinming understood what was going on. He thought that Qi Yunzhou must be jealous that he had captured the hearts of Yue'er and Xi'er at the same time, so he deliberately used food to force them to leave him.
"But," Qi Yunxi wiped away the non-existent tears and said stubbornly, "Brother Xinming, I will not listen to my brother. I must follow you."
Zhong Danyue also said: "Me too...Brother Ming, please eat quickly."
As they spoke, they both handed their bowls of rice to Jiang Xinming at the same time. Jiang Xinming couldn't bear to let anyone down, so he was about to take them both, but he lost his focus and both bowls of rice fell to the ground.
The bowl was made of wood and didn't break, but I couldn't eat the rice in it.
Qi Yunxi burst into tears and kept blaming Zhong Danyue. Zhong Danyue was not to be outdone and pushed all the responsibility onto Qi Yunxi.
The quarrel was really giving him a headache, so Jiang Xinming quickly stopped it: "Okay, okay, it's just a bowl of rice. I have some money here, I'll go buy some food."
Jiang Xinming hurried to the place where the officials distributed food. Qi Yunxi stopped crying and waved for the donkey he bought in the village to come over.
"Eat, eat," Qi Yunxi patted the donkey's head. "I'll give you extra meals during this period. I promise to keep you white... uh, gray and plump."
The donkey snorted with joy.
Since officials and prisoners became one family, everyone in the team, except the four members of the Zhong family, ate from the same pot.
The Zhong family could also eat, but the food was much worse than that of other people. The officials only gave them the most basic meals.
They didn't dare to shout at the officials and could only endure it silently.
Jiang Xinming glanced at the food and frowned, "Is this all that's left?"
Today we fried two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and steamed two hectograms of rice. Jiang Xinming came late, so only the vegetable soup and a few vegetable leaves were left.
Officer A burped and said, "Do you want it? If not, I'll go feed the horses."
Jiang Xinming hesitated for a moment, feeling incredibly hungry. He reluctantly said, "Give me three servings of rice, including the vegetables."
Officer A gave him "fifty taels of silver."
Jiang Xinming was frightened, "You are stealing money!"
"That's the price, forget it," Officer A said contemptuously, "You want to support a woman when you have no money? You'd better just go and live off her."
Jiang Xinming felt insulted. He threw down a fifty-liang silver note and turned away.
It's just silver. He is the twelfth prince of Northern Chu, so he should have some money.
He brought the meal back and undoubtedly received the starry eyes of the two little fans.
Enjoying the compliments from the two girls, Jiang Xinming felt very happy.
In the dark, a man in black left the tree without alarming anyone.
After he left, Shen Xun glanced over there.
"Axun, what's wrong?"
Shen Xun seemed to be thinking, "It seems like someone is watching us secretly, telling everyone to be alert."
She never ignored anything that was amiss.
Xie Lan nodded, "Okay."
In a cave five kilometers away from the team, the man in black reported to Chu Tiankuo all of Jiang Xinming's actions today.
"Master, do you want to remind His Highness the Twelfth Prince?"
Chu Tiankuo said calmly: "No need."
"I want to see how outstanding my twelfth brother is."
The man in black twitched his lips, as if sneering, "In my opinion, he is just a good-for-nothing. After all, he is kept outside, not as good as you, my master."
"Who knows..."
