The flowering period works

Chapter 254: Mutual Protection

    

hoever works harder, gets more silver, and we'll all live better lives! Understand" "Understand!" Sure enough, with a wave of his pipe, everyone, even those who didn't understand at first, were roused...Li Laotai was startled and quickly helped the old man up, "Big brother, what's wrong with you"

The village head raised his hand to point at the group of people who had left, but he still felt awe, so he could only take a few deep breaths to steady himself.

He turned back to look at Li Lao Si, Liu the鏢頭, and several villagers again. He swallowed his words. 。"I just feel...these people look pretty scary, I thought they were bad guys" 。" Li Laosì and Liubiao'tou and the others all laughed, "The village head is right. We also thought they were bad people at first" 。But these people were brought here by Ye Shan, who said they were Ye Gongzi's brothers. 。“

Li Laotai also smiled and agreed, comforting the village chief, “Yes, this kind person is so approachable. She even ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup and said that Hongying's skills were better than the imperial chef's!” 。" The old woman was so proud of her daughter-in-law, the village head felt his legs go weak. He found a random excuse to chase those villagers away, "Go back to patrolling. I have some things to discuss with Lao Si and Liu Biaotou." 。The villagers didn't take it seriously, they laughed and chatted their way out. 。For a moment, only Li Laotai, Li Laosi, and Liu Biaotou remained at the door. The village head quickly pulled them together and whispered... 。"You... you don't know who that honored guest was just now!" He raised his hand and pointed upwards at the black sky with force. 。Li Laotai and the three others blinked several times, not understanding for a long while. 。The village head stomped his feet in agitation, “It’s that person from the palace!” Li Laotai gasped and felt her legs go weak as well. 。Li Laosì and Liu Biāotóu's faces changed, they had just fought with the other party. 。"Turns out the other person didn't go all out before. I thought I had won." 。"Liu, the head of the鏢局, whispered." 。The focus of warriors is always so peculiar. 。He didn't care about the other person's identity, but he cared about winning and losing, and he cared that he had been made a fool of just now! Li Lao Si took a deep breath and thought carefully. He didn't think there was anything disrespectful about it, so he said, "I didn't dare to look closely in the court last time either. I really didn't recognize him just now." 。However, I presume that the esteemed guest has come today wishing to remain inconspicuous. Let us feign ignorance and avoid drawing attention. 。"

Lao Li leaned on the door frame and instructed, "You all continue with your work. Young Master Ye is fine here. I'll go into the house and take a look." 。After saying that, she went back to the courtyard in a crooked way. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her granddaughter holding the jade pendant and giggling. A flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she immediately understood. 。 “Little Funiu, you little devil! Did you know You know that noble person…” Li Lao Tai stepped forward and hugged her granddaughter, feeling a bit afraid that the child would snatch the jade pendant. She was relieved that the other party wasn't angry, and couldn't help but feel proud. Her granddaughter was truly brilliant, having discovered the nobleman’s identity much earlier than they had. 。Jia Yin didn't want to admit she recognized "the golden thigh," so she shamelessly fooled the person out of a jade pendant. 。She hugged her grandmother's neck with a sly smile and tried her best to act cute, "Grandma, Funiu is thirsty, Funiu wants water!" The old woman shook her head, lightly bumped her forehead against hers, but still got up and poured some water. 。Jia Yin obediently took the bowl and drank some water, then Ye Gongzi signaled Dong Mei to guard the door before saying 。"Did your aunt guess the identity of the visitor just now" Li Laotai waved her hand. “It wasn’t me, it was the village head who heard the noise and came over to take a look. He recognized the distinguished guest.” 。" Young Master Ye nodded and smiled, "Auntie, don't worry. Although my cousin is of high status, he has had many hardships since childhood. I am the only relative from his mother's side." 。For so many years, I have always done my best to assist him, so he treats me very kindly. 。"Now that I'm here recuperating, even if my family is a little negligent towards him, he wouldn't be angry. Not to mention, he just finished a big bowl of chicken noodle soup, clearly happy." 。"Well, that's true," the old woman chuckled. "He also said Hongying cooks better than the imperial chefs!"Young Master Ye leaned back on his soft pillow and added, "Don't worry about the jade pendant in Fu Ni's hands, it's just an ordinary one with no dragon carvings. It's not a token..." 。Besides, I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law. 。"What's wrong, what are you talking about " 。Li Laotai skillfully pulled the thin blanket over him, carefully avoiding his injured back. 。Young Master Ye held Funiu's chubby little foot, "Auntie, when I was seriously ill before, I happened to arrive at your house and almost lost my life. It was this child, Funiu, who saved me..." 。"At that time, I knew this child was extraordinary. Afterward, I also helped her cover things up a few times…"

Li Laotai immediately thought of her granddaughter taking out those silver ingots a few days ago, “Didn’t she ask you for money”

“No, it’s because Fu Niu has some good stuff. It’s inconvenient to sell at our house, so she entrusted Dong Mei to sell it, and got quite a bit of silver…" 。"When Ye Gongzi got to this point, he saw Jia Yin madly blinking at him. " 。She wanted to put all her strength into it, almost burying her head in the teacup ahead. 。Young Master Ye couldn't help but laugh, and said again, "I can't say exactly how much was sold, but don't worry, aunt. Fu Niu is smart and won't cause any trouble for the family." 。"

The old woman Li picked up her granddaughter, wanting to hit her but couldn't bear it. She could only pat her little bottom.

" 。Jia Yin twisted her little body, like a silkworm caterpillar, in Grandma's arms, moving back and forth. Finally, she coaxed the old woman into smiling before quietly letting out a breath of relief. 。The old woman rebraided her granddaughter's hair and couldn't help but sigh again. 。"Master Ye, as you know, our family is just an ordinary farming household. We have no special skills..." 。To be honest with you, when I'm sleeping, I wish I could keep my heart in hand. 。Good and bad fortune come together, I'm afraid, that this child might have something happen to her. Even if she has a few less hairs on her head, our whole family would love her so much we wouldn't be able to live without her. 。If you still care about our feelings all these years, please protect little Fu Niu more in the future. 。"Auntie, this is only right. Counting this time, Funiu has saved me twice now." 。No matter what, I will protect her. 。"Just now, when the esteemed guest arrived, I casually mentioned taking Fúniú as my adopted daughter. What are your thoughts on that" Ye Gongzi saw the old woman's face change and quickly said, "Aunt, don't overthink it. My status, to say it's honorable is honorable, but to say it's dangerous is dangerous. No one can guarantee a lifetime of stability, after all, as the saying goes..."He didn't say the last word, but the old woman understood. 。She didn't understand how the winds of change worked in the imperial court, but she had also heard from plays that the most ruthless families were those of emperors. 。She followed up with worry, quickly advising, “Young Master Ye, don’t say that. You’re still young. In a few years, find an opportunity to resign and come back to the village to live a peaceful life.” 。“

Young Master Ye shook his head, with a strange light in his eyes, “Aunt, I don’t plan to get married and have children for now. At least until I recover half of the territory in Jiangbei, I don’t have that kind of mind.” 。So, I take Fu Niu as my adopted daughter. As long as I live, I will protect her every day. 。If I'm unlucky and die in battle, the guilt that noble person will feel towards me will transfer all their blessings onto Foon Yee. 。With these, even if Fu Niu... was a little different from others, no one would dare to talk about them or harm her. 。"... Laotai Li’s eyes turned red, shaking her head repeatedly, “Young Master Ye, you can’t do this..." 。o's guilty, trying to hide and disappear!Li Laotai was outside, and when she didn't see her granddaughter, she called out.Jia Yin could only stuff the sign into her pocket and then ran out.After most...
