Chapter 337 Heroic Competition
"How precious can a welcome gift from a remote village be?"
"It would be embarrassing to take it away."
Nan Mubai didn't take it to heart at all, especially since Xu Shiyun didn't show any affinity with him, which made him look down on him even more.
Just like her peasant mother, she is not presentable.
Minglang couldn't bear to see him being so mean, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, going to the Lu family to move wine jars in the middle of the night, isn't that embarrassing?"
Nan Mubai's breathing stagnated.
"How can they be the same? That's spiritual wine! A spiritual wine that can enhance affinity!" Nan Mubai felt heartbroken when he thought of this.
"Just one pot of that spiritual wine increased my affinity a little bit! Do you know how important that spiritual wine is?" Affinity is innate, and is a natural ability that cannot be copied or increased.
Nan Guo has been thinking for thousands of years but has never come up with a way to improve affinity.
Who would have thought that it would improve a little because of a pot of wine!
His aptitude is among the best in the clan, and his affinity reaches seventy.
Every bit of improvement is a great help to him.
"What a pity that such precious spiritual wine has ended up in the stomachs of mortals! What a waste of gifts! Are they worthy of drinking spiritual wine?"
"I didn't expect that Lu Chaochao would meet a master who practiced Buddhism in seclusion. Alas, it would be a waste to give her such an opportunity." Nan Mubai was angry and jealous.
"Aren't you afraid? What kind of treasure will be the gift in her brocade box?" Minglang sneered, but didn't know what to say clearly.
Nan Mubai was almost amused.
"Have you seen how many brocade boxes there are? They are piled up in a corner of the carriage. A rough count shows that there are at least a dozen of them. What kind of treasures can be sent out in batches? My Southern Country is not so short-sighted." Nan Mubai rode on a horse and walked at the front of the team with Xie Jingxi.
Ming Lang suppressed his anger and said to Lu Chaochao in the carriage: "Princess Zhaoyang, I don't mind. If you have any gifts left, can you give one to me?" He has always looked down on Nan Mubai's behavior. If it weren't for the order from His Majesty himself, he would not have been willing to travel with Nan Mubai at all.
Seeing that Nan Mubai was giving face to Princess Zhaoyang, he was afraid that the three-and-a-half-year-old child would be upset and cry, so he immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
Lu Chaochao smiled with curved eyebrows: "Okay, okay."
Minglang had no idea that just because of his momentary weakness and wanting to give Princess Zhaoyang a way out, he would encounter a great opportunity.
The old couple of the Duke of Zhenguo stood by the roadside wiping their tears. They were already old and could not stand the fatigue from the long journey.
So he stayed in Beizhao.
At this moment, the old couple wiped their tears and said, "Yunniang, you must come home early." The old lady held Yunniang's hand and was reluctant to let go.
The carriage was bumpy, and Rong Shuangshuang wanted to stick her head out to get some fresh air.
But the old lady pushed him back.
"Don't block my face. You've completely blocked my face! I don't know when I'll be home after this separation. Let me take a few more glances at Yunniang. Yunniang, don't forget that your parents are waiting for you at home."
Rong Che felt sour in his heart and tried hard to hold back his retching and said, "Mom, you still have a son..."
The old lady glanced at him with a forced smile, rolled her eyes, and didn't want to say another word.
Ha, the Rong family almost became extinct because of him!
You're dreaming if you still want to have a good face!
"Let's go!" Xie Jingxi shouted loudly, and the team set off in a mighty manner.
"Has the Duke of Protectorate's carriage arrived?" Lu Chaochao asked her mother.
Yunniang nodded: "Master Li's eyesight is not good, he is in the carriage behind us."
Lu Chaochao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Che lay beside the carriage and felt sick: "This... this morning sickness is the hardest battle I have ever fought in my life!"
Lu Chaochao scratched his bald head. Over the past few months, some short hair had grown on his head, but it looked...
Still a bald head.
"Daddy, eat some sour plums. It will make you feel better..." Lu Chaochao considerately fed Rong Che a sour plum.
"Daddy, you are the best daddy and the best husband in the world. Look, who can help your wife with morning sickness? You are the first..." Lu Chaochao boasted to Rong Che.
"Mother can be so comfortable during her pregnancy, all thanks to Daddy."
Yunniang smiled: "I had big reactions in my previous pregnancies, but this time I have no reaction at all. I can eat and drink. I really need to thank Brother Che." This was also because her period was delayed and she had never considered pregnancy.
Who knew that this time the morning sickness would fall on Rong Che!
"Really?" Rong Che sipped the sour plum, feeling happy.
"Of course."
"Who can be as good as Father Rong... You can tell your child in the future that I gave birth to you after vomiting for ten months!"
"Which man has this opportunity? Even the emperor can't compare to you!" Lu Chaochao coaxed Rong Che and made him smile.
"Yes, others are not as lucky as me!"
"Don't worry, Chaochao. Daddy will not let you down. I, your father, am both a good writer and a good warrior. Who can compare to me?" Rong Che puffed out his chest and raised his head, his brows full of pride.
"I am practicing my cooking skills now. One day, I will definitely beat the men of Jeonbuk!"
"I have to learn everything while I am away from the capital. When I return to Beizhao, I will definitely blow their minds! I will make all those men in Beizhao look better than me!"
Xie Yuzhou glanced at Rong Che, then at Lu Chaochao: "I always feel something is wrong, but I don't quite understand..." Could it be that I am really not very smart?
Poor Xie Yuzhou didn’t understand that there was a word called “xiongjing”.
Rong Che is going to start a competition!
Yunniang glanced at Chaochao, and the little guy looked at her with an innocent face.
After driving for about two or three hours, we took a break along the way.
"You little girl, are you playing tricks on your father? Look, your father has been fooled by you and has started to practice his cooking skills hard." Yunniang scratched her nose.
Lu Chaochao curled her lips and said, "What kind of trick is that?"
"Since ancient times, women have had to embroider, manage the household, bear children and serve their parents-in-law. In wealthy families, women don't have to cook, but they still have to learn how to cook."
"Why can't men learn?"
"Even if a man has three wives and four concubines, the wife is not allowed to be jealous and must help to settle them. Otherwise, she will be known as jealous."
"It's not fair." Lu Chaochao shook his head.
Yunniang was stunned. She was only three and a half years old, how could she think so much?
"Chao Chao, is it your mother's marriage to Lu Yuanze that makes you feel unhappy?" Yunniang's heart tightened.
Lu Chaochao shook her head: "Everyone is like this, it has nothing to do with mother."
"Chao Chao doesn't want to get married when she grows up."
"What's good about being a man? He slows down Chaochao's speed in drawing the sword!" Lu Chaochao looked disdainful.
Yunniang burst out laughing.
"Silly child, you are still young."
"Besides, a good significant other can alleviate half of the pain in life. Chao Chao is still young, she will understand when she grows up..."
Lu Chaozhao blinked and pondered for a moment.
"Mom, a good partner can alleviate half of the pain."
"Then can I find two? Then I won't have any worries at all!" The little guy looked serious and even began to think.
Yunniang? ? ?
"Well……"
Her train of thought seems to be wrong?
