Chapter 253: Hugging Someone's Leg, the Perfect Time!
oken out loud, otherwise everyone will be unaware of Zhang Jin's true colors. In the future, we might not even realize he has led all the men in our village to the gambling hall! How can our families...This person was also carefully sizing up Old Madam Li and the others, and finally smiled faintly, "Brother, this time being injured, I've troubled everyone for your protection and care."
Li Laotai and Dongmei hurriedly went down to the field, smiling and saying, “Noble guest, you are too polite. Young Master Ye is a lifesaver for our entire village. It's only right that we help him out since he's injured.”
Having said that, she took her sewing basket and added, "We won't disturb the esteemed gentleman and young master any further."
She still had to go hold her granddaughter, but Jia Yin ran into the kang and made her so angry she glared at her.
Lady Ye smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t worry about it. Fu Niu is very obedient. I’ll watch over her, you go and rest.”
"Well," the old woman could only reply, just about to go out, but the noblewoman said, "I hear your chicken noodle soup is delicious. Could you make me a bowl"
"Alright, esteemed guest, if you don't mind, I'll have my daughter-in-law prepare some for you."
The old woman and Dongmei also stepped out together, and for a moment, there were only Ye Gongzi, the noblewoman, and a little girl with wide-eyed innocent looks, actually her heart was already screaming with excitement!
The visitor's name is Ye Gongzi, a distinguished gentleman. His visit at night leaves no other possible suspect!
These are the most thick and valuable thighs in the world!
If not now, when
She toddled to the foot of the kang, shielded by a box, took out two watermelon that had been seeded, then ran back to Young Master Ye's side and smilingly presented a watermelon to the guest.
The esteemed guest was taken aback and reached out to take it.
Jia Yin gave him another small spoon, then she threw the fruit away and dug fragrant melon for Ye Gongzi.
The watermelon flesh is soft and easy to scoop out, but watermelon is much sweeter than most fruits.
Jia Yin dug a few holes, but only one made it to Ye Gongzi's mouth. The rest ended up in her own stomach. It was just too delicious! Her hands were more imaginative than her brain – she really couldn't help herself!
Young Master Ye had drunk too much medicinal soup, his mouth was terribly bitter, and he also liked the fragrance of melon. Unfortunately, he could only watch as the melon flesh went into the little girl's mouth...
The noble one, seeing this, couldn't help but burst into laughter. They took off their hat, bit into a fragrant melon, and found it sweeter than any they had ever tasted before!
Jia Yin heard the laughter and looked up at Jin Dahu, then Ye Gongzi. Only then did she understand.
Her little face flushed, she threw down her spoon and scrambled into the noble's arms to hide.
The noble person laughed even louder, "This little chubby girl is so cute, no wonder you treat her like your own daughter. Even with a bit of free time, she has to come stay here for a few days."
Young Master Ye was helpless and replied, "I originally intended to take her as my adopted daughter, but now it seems she is an unfilial girl!"
Jiyin secretly poked out her little head, the golden bell on her topknot swaying. She puffed up her cheeks and argued, "Fu Niu is filial, Fu Niu is the most filial."
The noble person couldn't help but play with the little gold bells, and casually wiped her mouth.
Jia Yin tilted her head back, a proud smile spreading across her face.
The noble person, seeing her joyful smile, felt even more at ease. He took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to her to play with, then said, "Cousin, this time was too dangerous. In the future, you mustn't be so reckless."
Young Master Ye nodded, "It was supposed to be foolproof, all our own people. Who would have thought that dagger was coated with poison. These few days, we'll interrogate him and find out what happened."
"No," the noble shook his head, "These four have been serving as dark guards for many years, never making a mistake. That's why they were chosen to impersonate assassins this time. It seems someone took advantage of them, tampering with their daggers without them knowing. They were unaware and didn't betray anyone."
"Have all the people loyal to the Empress Dowager in the army been identified But I've always suspected those two"
"You're right, this time I sent Zhang Wenzhuo to the docks and dealt with them when they were out fighting. You just take good care of your injuries, it'll only be two or three months, and the situation in Jiangbei won't deteriorate that much."
"Those old foxes in the court have always been good at muddying the waters. This time, taking advantage of my assassination attempt, I'll eliminate a few to shake things up. They can behave themselves for a while."
The two talked slowly, Jiayin obediently played with her jade pendant, and didn't cause any trouble.
After a while, Old Mrs. Li came knocking and brought chicken noodle soup. Master Ye and the honorable guest stopped talking.
Jiayin's eyes rolled, and she shoved the jade pendant straight into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.
Winter Plum set up a small table, Old Li helped carry the noodle soup and side dishes. Seeing her granddaughter like this, the old woman was startled and immediately grabbed her granddaughter, trying to snatch the thing from her mouth.
Jia Yin shook her head and hid behind Guiren, refusing to give it up.
The noblewoman couldn't help but smile, "It's just a small thing, I'll give it to the little girl to play with."
Elder Li couldn't see what her granddaughter had stuffed in her mouth. Seeing the noblewoman speak like this, Master Ye also nodded. She simply let it go and pointed at her granddaughter's forehead from afar, reprimanding her.
"This little girl, must she have starved to death in her past life She stuffs everything into her mouth. She's already fatter than anyone else, yet she's so greedy. Watch out, or they'll slaughter you like a pig during the New Year!"
Jia Yin grinned, a smile so wide that drool dripped down her chin, causing everyone else to burst into laughter.
The esteemed guest sat on the kang sipping noodles, enjoying a few savory side dishes until every drop of soup was gone.
At last, he opened his mouth and praised, "No wonder elder brother is willing to stay for a while, the food here is so delicious."
Mrs. Li was warm and welcoming, saying with a smile, "If you're a frequent visitor, we ordinary folk don't have much to offer, just home-cooked dishes. My daughter-in-law's ancestors were imperial cooks, so her skills are quite good."
"That's blue coming out of blue, surpassing even blue! This craftsmanship is definitely much better than the imperial chef!"
The esteemed guest praised her once more, then patted Jia Yin's little head before getting up to straighten her clothes. "Brother, take good care of yourself," she said. "I shall return now."
"Miss Ye, please be careful on your way. Don't go out anymore, it's not safe."
Jia Yin pulled out the jade pendant from her mouth, went forward to hug the noble person's neck, and shook the jade pendant at grandma, "Grandma, exchange for fruit, exchange for fruit!"
Old Li was furious, her eyes bulging. “Greedy little girl, you actually stole the noblewoman's jade pendant!”
Young Master Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Auntie, listen to Fu Niu, give my younger brother a few fruits. His family isn't short of them, but they don't have the delicious ones we do."
"Oh, alright, I'll go get some right now." Li Laotai agreed and went next door.
Originally, Zhang the Divine Physician said that young master Ye could eat a few bites of fruit. Jia Yin then took out two baskets from her space.
Over the past two days, we have eaten a few, and there are still plenty left.
Li Laotai was afraid it would be inconvenient to carry them on the road, so she found a clean cloth bag and packed in a dozen pears and a dozen apples.
When handing it over to the honored guest, he also instructed, “Next year when the fruits on the mountain ripen in abundance, come again, honored guest. Let us go to the orchard and eat them fresh.”
The noble person smiled in response, gave the bag to Yemountain, and then put on her hat.
The old woman led them out the door and when they reached the entrance to the courtyard, the village head happened to hear the commotion and came over to take a look.
The hanging lanterns sway in the wind.
A distinguished person rolled over on his horse, the evening wind lifted the gauze curtain of his hat, and the light illuminated his face perfectly, allowing the village chief to see him clearly.
The honored guest nodded at him and rode away with his entourage.
Mrs. Li, with her gray hair neatly combed, turned to see the village head and smiled, "Village head, don't worry. This is Ye Gongzi's younger brother, here to visit the sick. He's not a bad person."
But the village chief remained silent for a long time.
The old woman was puzzled, she walked forward and patted the village head's arm, but unexpectedly, the village head sat down on his buttocks with a cry of surprise.
"My god!"ally, some children and the elderly brought back dry grass or scraps of wood from outside. They found these in dilapidated abandoned houses or desolate places all over the north part of the city. At n...
