Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 107 Finding Clues

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and Jing Yi took the initiative to ask about Xiao Yilin's situation after returning to Beijing.

Xiao Yilin was secretly happy to see that the little girl cared so much about him, and said some good things.

In order to set up obstacles for Lin Xiuhan, who may become his rival in love, Xiao Yilin also took the initiative to talk about the situation of the Lin family, "Magistrate Lin, I heard that your mother is looking for a wife for you. It is estimated that County Magistrate Lin will return soon." Jing is married."

Lin Xiuhan didn't know why Prince Jing suddenly brought up his matter, so he frowned, "Oh, I haven't received the news. But I must nod myself for the choice of my wife. I have already agreed with my family. Yes. Besides, I'm currently in Hui'an County, and I won't be returning to the capital in a short time, so I don't think about getting a wife for the time being."

Mei Huanzhang glanced at Lin Xiuhan, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yilin and said with a smile, "Prince Jing is not young anymore, so it's time to choose the concubine. The emperor attaches so much importance to Prince Jing, the choice of concubine must be very cautious. , It is estimated that we will hear good news soon.”

Xiao Yilin glanced at the little girl next to her without a trace and said, "My marriage is not in a hurry. My father has promised me that my marriage is up to me. Let me choose a princess I like. Family background is not important .”

Mei Huanzhang did not say such words today on a whim, because he found that the relationship between Xiao Yilin and his niece seemed a little delicate.

He is a man, and he is also a person who has experienced it.He clearly noticed something wrong with the way Xiao Yilin looked at his niece.Although Xiao Yilin hid it well, he still found clues.

Mei Huanzhang wondered if Xiao Yilin already knew the identity of his niece?Or is Xiao Yilin better than Longyang?

Mei Huanzhang frowned at this thought.After all, Xiao Yilin is a prince, so it's not easy for him to meddle in other people's private affairs too much.As long as it doesn't endanger his niece, he won't bother.

But if Xiao Yilin has any unruly thoughts about his niece, he doesn't care if Xiao Yilin is a prince or not, he will still fix him.

Jing Yi always felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit weird, why did everyone talk about Lin Xiuhan and Xiao Yilin's marriage?

But then Lin Xiuhan changed the subject and talked about Dongmai.

Xiao Yilin took the initiative to bring some food for Jing Yi, "Jing Yan also eat more, you have worked hard today."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao. I have nothing to do. With the help of Qiao Yan and the others, it will save a lot of trouble."

Xiao Yilin was sitting next to Jing Yi, and Mei Huanzhang looked at Xiao Yilin's tall figure, which made the niece look petite and petite, and also made the niece look like a man.

Mei Huanzhang felt that it was also possible for Xiao Yilin to discover her niece's identity as a woman.He couldn't help secretly observing Xiao Yilin's behavior towards his niece.

Jing Yi and the others were eating in the main room, and Gu Yu and the others were also eating in the wing room.Except for Gu Yu and Feng Zhi, all the other guards couldn't hold their heads up.

Feng Zhi boasted while eating, "Gu Yu and I lived here with the prince for several months before, eating delicious food every day. In order to avoid gaining weight, we have to extend the time of martial arts every day. The Chu family cooks the same food every day. , I can’t wait to swallow my tongue every day when I eat.”

The guards who often followed Xiao Yilin looked at Feng Zhi's bragging with great disdain, and one of the guards said, "Old Feng, in the future, this good thing must be shared with everyone, and you can't take it all by yourself."

When Feng Zhi heard that someone wanted to compete with him for the position, he quit, "The prince can't do without the protection of me and Gu Yu. How can I change people? No, I must always follow the prince."

Another guard said: "This kid is acting like a good boy even if he gets the advantage. Our skill is not worse than yours, otherwise we will try it later. Whoever has better kung fu will follow the prince to protect him."

Gu Yu silently ate two mouthfuls of food and glared at a few people, "You can't stop your mouths if you eat it. Don't talk outside, and don't cause trouble for the prince. The news about Mr. Chu must not be leaked. Anyone who is not careful will be bald. Go out and wait for the prince to punish you."

A few people were honest when they heard it, and they stopped talking nonsense, and they all ate vegetables quickly.I didn't see a few other people who didn't say a word, just eating.

After lunch, Lin Xiuhan went back to the county office.Xiao Yilin also went back to the room to rest.

Jing Yi went back to her room during her afternoon nap, lying on the bed, she couldn't help thinking about the scene when she took Xiao Yilin's pulse today.

Thinking of the way Xiao Yilin looked at her and the tone of his voice, Jing Yi couldn't help but blushed again.

Jing Yi let out a long breath, patted her hot cheeks and scolded herself for not living up to expectations.A man younger than her actual age actually made her almost confused.

It's all because Xiao Yilin is so attractive.It's okay for a big man to look so good-looking, so she was almost bewitched.

Jing Yi knew that she had different feelings towards Xiao Yilin.But she secretly warned herself not to be entangled by her children's affection.

She still has a big grudge to avenge, and emotional matters should not be considered now.Moreover, Xiao Yilin is a prince after all, a prince, and he is very likely to inherit the throne in the future.

Such a person will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future, surrounded by clouds of beauties.So Xiao Yilin is definitely not her type, she can't indulge her feelings to like Xiao Yilin.That is undoubtedly looking for hardship for yourself.

Having figured it out, Jing Yi decides to treat Xiao Yilin as a good friend or a brother in the future, and doesn't consider anything else.

In the afternoon, Jing Yi went to the wheat field again to have a look. A lot of wheat had been harvested, and most of the harvested wheat had been transported to the threshing field.

Now that the sun is abundant, the wheat is spread out to dry on the threshing floor, and after it dries again, the wheat can be rolled with stone rollers pulled by livestock.

In this way, the grains of wheat will fall off from the ears of wheat little by little.At that time, when the straw is lifted away, the grains of wheat that have fallen on the ground will be exposed.The wheat grains are collected together and processed, and the clean wheat grains with almost no impurities can be put into the warehouse after being dried.

Because there are many people in the family and meat is limited, Jing Yi asked Song Yuancheng to drive the carriage to the county town the next day to buy some pork, grain and other ingredients, as well as some herbs.Jing Yi has written the list.She planned to give Xiao Yilin a medicinal bath today.

Jing Yi is also planning to go into the mountains to hunt some prey and come back.

When Xiao Yilin heard that Jing Yi was going to go hunting in the mountains, of course he had to follow, and it happened to spend more time with the little girl to enhance their relationship with each other.

Xiao Yilin wanted to hunt in the mountains together, of course Jing Yi would not stop her, it was fine if she went together, her strength alone was limited, so go with a few more people and bring back more prey.There are more than a dozen big men in the family, but they are very edible.

Xiao Yilin was going to take Gu Yu, Feng Zhi and three other guards with him, and the other guards would stay at Chu's house.
