On the second day, Ah Huai came to the Shen family to pick up Yan Bao and Mrs. Shen.
If Xu Zhimo's youngest son hadn't been feeling unwell, she would have also wanted to go to the temple to worship.
In order to take care of the children, I have to stay at home.
The two older ones couldn't go out either, one had to study and the other had to complete the tasks assigned by Brother Shen.
Xu Zhimo asked Ah Huai to take good care of Madam Shen and the others, and watched the carriage leave.
Yan Bao and his friends went to the Xiangguo Temple, a very popular temple in the capital. It was a favorite place for dignitaries. It was a royal temple and everyone loved to go here.
Ah Huai walked for a while, then got on the carriage and talked to Mrs. Shen and the others. He talked about building a railway outside. It was really difficult to build a railway, especially when encountering mountains and having to dig tunnels.
When you encounter a river, build a bridge.
Yan Bao said bluntly: "Thank you for your hard work. It's not easy for you. Without your efforts, there would be no trains today."
Ah Huai smiled and said, "It's not that bad actually. I really didn't know anything at the beginning, but after figuring it out, I found that everything can be solved as long as you are determined to do it."
Besides, the information is complete, and it contains all the troubles that may be encountered in tunnel construction. Just do as it says.
We had a great time chatting on the way, and before we knew it, the carriage arrived at Xiangguo Temple.
Yan Bao helped Madam Shen get off the carriage, and Ah Huai accompanied them to burn incense.
The abbot of the temple asked if he wanted a meditation room, but A Huai refused.
Yan Bao said that they would have a picnic on the grass at the foot of Xiangguo Temple. She brought a lot of delicious food, including the braised beef with soy sauce that Ah Huai liked, as well as braised pig's trotters and lemon chicken feet.
My mouth is watering just listening to it.
Especially the lemon chicken feet, which you can’t get anywhere else.
Ah Huai likes to eat chicken feet with a lemony scent, which is refreshing.
After they worshipped Buddha, they prepared to leave.
Yan Bao suddenly grabbed Ah Huai and said, "I brought a stove with me so I can make tea. I heard that the spring water in Xiangguo Temple is good. Please fetch me a pot of water, Your Highness."
"Okay." Ah Huai nodded with a smile, picked up a wooden bucket and left.
Madam Shen frowned: “Didn’t you already let Ziyun take a bucket?”
Yan Bao played dumb: "Ah, I'm done!"
"No way, I'm doing this for Ah Huai. If he were here and ran into that shameless woman, she'd cling to Ah Huai. Even if they got married, they'd just be a pair of enemies."
Mrs. Shen: “???”
Yan Bao didn't know his inner voice had been heard, and continued to complain in his heart: [That young lady from the Duke's Mansion is very calculating. She had her eyes on Ah Huai early on, and in order to become the princess, she planned for Ah Huai to jump into the water to save someone.]
If Ah Huai knew it was a little girl, he would definitely not carry water to save her.
[She was afraid of being recognized as a girl, so she didn't dare to go into the water. She wore her brother's robe, making Ah Huai think she was a young master. Only after she was pulled out and held in her arms did she realize she was a girl.]
The Duke's Mansion seized upon this issue, claiming the young girl's innocence was ruined and holding Ah Huai responsible. They used this to morally blackmail Ah Huai and even went to the Emperor for resolution. Finally, under pressure, Ah Huai married the young girl, and life became a chaotic mess.
Madam Shen clicked her tongue, so miserable?
What a piece of shit.
It's not like your daughter is unmarriageable, so why do you have to use such despicable means?
Ah Huai is such a good kid. If he was tricked into marrying a girl he didn't like, wouldn't his life be ruined?
Mrs. Shen thought that it would be best to avoid it.
Who knew that Yan Bao sent Ah Huai away, and the young lady from the Duke's Mansion didn't see Ah Huai and stood by the water without moving. The protagonist was not there, so it was useless for her to fetch water.
It took Ah Huai only a quarter of an hour to go and come back.
As soon as he showed up, Yan Bao noticed out of the corner of his eye that the little girl excitedly jumped into the lake intentionally, splashing water everywhere. She was wearing a boy's robe. If Yan Bao hadn't foreseen it, he wouldn't have known that it was a little girl.
The maid of the Duke's daughter immediately yelled, "Help! Someone, something bad has happened! My son has fallen into the water and he can't swim. Please come and save him!"
When the maid asked for help, she looked towards Ah Huai.
Ah Huai didn't know that this was a trap set for him. When he heard that someone fell into the water, and that it was a young man who happened to be able to swim, he wanted to save him, but was held back by Madam Shen and Yan Bao on his left and right.
Ah Huai: “???”
Yan Bao and Madam Shen exchanged a glance: [Could it be that my mother knows something?]
Mrs. Shen was afraid of exposing the fact that she had heard Yan Bao’s inner thoughts, so she immediately changed her words: “Be careful when saving people!”
I leave the task of persuading others to you, come on, Yanbao!
Yan Bao was speechless: [Mom, don't help at this time. Saving people is not a good thing. They came here for Ah Huai. If you save them, you will lose your life's happiness and the position of princess.]
Yan Bao said, "Don't go. Let someone else go. It's not easy for a man like you to save people."
Ah Huai, who didn't know the truth, frowned: "He is a young master, not a girl, it should be okay for me to save him."
Yan Bao laughed: "How do you know she's not a girl? Just because she's wearing a young man's robe doesn't mean she's a young master. Which young master goes out with a maid?"
Ah Huai wasn't stupid. He glanced at the person splashing in the water. His face was in a state of disarray, and his features did look quite delicate. "Is she a girl?"
Yan Bao nodded.
Ah Huai took a step back: "Forget it, men and women shouldn't touch each other."
"Right." Yan Bao thought to himself: [Luckily you know that giving and receiving shouldn't be done in a physical way. If you saved someone, congratulations on finding a soulmate.]
Mrs. Shen would definitely not let Ah Huai get involved. She dissuaded Ah Huai from saving people: "I remember that this lake doesn't seem to be deep."
Yan Bao nodded: "As long as she stands up, the water will only reach her waist, so she won't drown."
Mrs. Shen suggested: “Then let’s go for a picnic!”
